MEN YELL; WOMEN FAINT

The greatest excitement prevailed Sun
day evening in the county Jail in New
Castle and people on the outside who
happened to be passing thought that a
wholesale slaughter was being made. An
Investigation showed that pipe connec-
ted with the steam heater in the base
ment OF the Jail had burst and within a
few moments the Jail was filled with
steam and ashes. Male prisoners made
the greatest kind'of hubbub over the
affair and the women inmates screamed
and tainted. They all cooled off when
they found that they were to be without
heat until to-day and then yelled for ad-
ditional blankets with which to keen
warm.

FARMERS PREPARE FOR THIEVES

On account of the numerous thefts in
the vicinity of New Castle, preparations
are being made to give the night ma
rauders warm reception. Several far
mers have had burglar alarms placed in
their henneries, barns and houses. Vic
ious dogs have been purchased. These
are kept chained during the days and are
let loose at night. William Walker lost
more than seventy-fve fowls in two
nights, and George Biddle more than 200
turkeys, ducks and chickens within a
period. 1t is believed that the fowls are
disposed of among the cheap eating
restaurants in Wilmington.

the bill and their own iniquity along with

Senator Spooner, who will retire March
4th, makes positive denial of the story
that he will succeed Attorney General
Griggs in President McKinley's Cabinet.
He says he expects to practice law. He
ought to know.

Senator Hanna is inclined to joke
about his rheumatism, which is again
giving him trouble. AS Senator Morgan
stepped aside to allow Mr.. Hanna to pass
through door, he said, nodding at the
lame foot: "Same old trouble, 1 sup
poser" eyes, replied Senator Hanna:
same old rheumatism. 1t seems to be
getting little worse every day. I guess
it is politics struck in
The difficulty of pleasing those who
refuse to be pleased is once more exempli-
fed by the present attitude of those who
have all along been criticizing the Presi-
dent for ,ursurping the power properly
belonging to Congress, in his insular pol.
icy, toward the Presidents desire that
Congress shall:pass upon the satisfactori-
ness of the Cuban government that will
be provided for by the Constitution now
being formulated by the convention sit
ting in Havana. President Mckinley
holds, and very properly, that Congress
should pass upon this matter before our
military authority is withdrawn from
Cuba, and his critics, seemingly just to
be contrary, are contending that he
should assume the responsibility of decid-
ing the matter; but their contention will
make no difference in the determination
of President Mckinley to submit the
matter to Congress, and to ask Congress
to act upon it.. 1t is not likely that the
Cuban Constitutions will be ready in
time to be submitted to the present ses-
sion of Congress, and that is one of the
reasons why ,the- opinion that an extra
session of Congress will be absolutely
necessary regardless of what this session
nay do or leave undone, isdncreasing
every day in Washington.
