New Haven, Conn, June 25.-After
passing fairly restful night Secre-
tary Hay, who, arriving late Sunday
afternoon at the residence of Seth H.
Mosely, where the body of his son lay,
was stricken with physical collapse, is
very much improved. At 9 O'Clock he
received a call from DR.. Gilbert, his
physician. The doctor found Colonel
Hay so much better that he permitted
him to sit up while directing him that
he remain quietly in his room for the
day, expressed the belief that he will
be able to leave the city by evening.
if necessary.
Immediately after the departure of
the physician Secretary Hay arose
and had breakfast in his ROOM
It is stated that no definite plans for
the funeral will be fixed upon until
the arrival of Mrs. Hay and her
daughter. Meanwhile, however, ar
rangements are being made tentative
ly for departure with the body later
in the day. w.

London Mourns His Death.

New York, June 25.-People in Lon
don, says The Tribune's London cor
respondent, are not unmindful of the
fact that during the early days of the
Boer war Adelbert Hay discharged his
honorary duties on behalf of the Brit
ish prisoners in Pretoria with the ut
most tact and discretion. It is felt in
London that his tragic death closes
one of the most promising careers in
the American diplomatic service.

Picking, June 26.-The China Mer-
chants company, owners of the prem
Uses in Tien Tsin first occupied by the
marines and afterwards by Liscum's
command as barracks, have completed
their claim against the United States
government for valuables which they
aver were carried off by the marines.
The list comprises many valuable
furs, rugs and jewels, including dia.
monds. The total of the claim is 400..
900 taels. The company says that the
premises. being part of the foreign
concession, were willingly lent FOR
military necessities, but that they
were not subject to footing as they
would have been If they had been in
the Chinese city.

Roanoke, Va, June 25.-The pas
ssenger train from the west over the
Norfolk and Western railroad, which
is due here at 11:55 p. m. did not
reach Roanoke until $3.50 p. m.
When the train came in there were
many people at the station who had
waited anxiously all night for the be-
lated newscarrier from the devastated
coal fields of West Virginia. Among
those who came in on the train and
who had been. in the storm was a
prominent business man of Roanoke.
several railroad men and woman,
and two children. They came direct
to Roanoke from Vivian and were
compelled to walk distance Of II
miles from that, place to the small
town of Ennis, where they were en-
abled to get a train for this city.
These passengers declare that the
number of, deaths has been exagger-
ated in their opinions, and feel con-
fident that not more than 100 people
have lost their lives, though they can
not say with any certainty as to the
number. The mountain district, lying
back from the railroads, probably has
suffered heavily and the exact loss of
life will not be known for several days.
A railroad man who has been working
at Vivian told the Associated Press
correspondent that the rain started
last Friday night and continued for
some time in moderation, but shortly
after midnight the heavens seemed 20

Immense DANCE in Coal Fields.
The people who came from Vivian
did not come through the town of Key
stone, but only around it. They state,
however, that the damage done there
is nothing like as great as was at first
reported. They think that not more
than dozen houses were washed
away. They cannot say how many, if
any, lives were lost at Keystone. OF
the 10 miles Of railroad between the
towns of Vivian and Ennis, it is stated
there is not 100 yards of track in one
place and it is thought this division
will not be repaired for fortnight
Fifty people walked over this washed
out territory Sunday to get from Wv
Ian to Ennis.
The damage done all over the coal
fields is immense, but everyone seems
to have been too greatly excited ard
too anxious to get sawayto take time
to inquire into the affairs of their
neighbors. It is certain, however, that
much valuable machinery has been
washed away. Many of the wrecked
cars along the Elkhorn Valley have
been washed down the river and prob
ably will be a total loss. East Of
Ennis the train had little trouble in
getting through to Bluefelds. Two

THE GRANGE AND LEVY COURT

The resolutions of Brandywine
Grange relative to the Levy Court arc
worthy of more than passing notice
While the charges are not specific,
yet there is little doubt that the care
full and thoughtful men who passed
them have sufficient evidence to war
rant their declarations. The prelimi-
nary statement Of their position is
sound, and they have put themselves
on record as willing to share the
necessary burdens Of taxation; neither
do they object to a high rate when as
sured that the revenue is TO be spent
in necessary public improvements un-
der a wise economy. This position is
unassailable, since at times high taxa
ton is necessary in any community, in
order to keep step with progress and
to conserve the public interests. There
fore these farmers are wise in not de-
manding a low rate of taxation re-
CARELESS of present necessities
The declaration that 1--WE believe and
charge that the present Levy Court Of
New Castle county is recklessly care
less of the interests OF the taxpayers, -
is a grave statement, and amounts to-
a vote of censure. But one thing seems
certain, that whatever faults the pres
ent body may have, they are but a re-
Election OF the grayer misconduct OF
the previous body. Perhaps a certain
system has been established under
which succeeding bodies take advan-
tage OF the misdeeds OF their predeces-
sors II so. a revolution is imperative
Following this are number Of more
direct charges although the particu-
lars are not given; that improvident
and wasteful contracts have been
made, that these have not been given
70 the lowest bidder. that they have
approved unitemized bills, etc. There
can be no denial OF these general
charges, the only answer that will
satisfy the public is that, while the
conduct has been irregular, there has
been no loss Of money But can this
be shown? There is the rub. and only
the report Of the general will
be sufficient to throw light upon tho
mystery.
Brandywine Grange has done we'll
in expressing its want Of confidence,
and It is amply justified in its suspi-
cions. It is now incumbent upon the
Levy Court to clear its skirts, and to
do this the members should throw
