TRUSTEE OF THE POOR PARKER
has certainly stirred up horneto
nest by printing two articles in the
columns of the Every Evening in
which he charged the members of
the Board with extravaganza and
having a deficit OF $4,000 for the
last fiscal year. The entire session
was taken up with a refutatiou OF
the charges made oy Mr.. Parker
aud he was asked to explain how
and where he got his figures. 1t
was explained TO him that the
Board had overdrawn their appro-
priation for last year BY over $1,000.
The overdratt was caused by the
putting Of new boiler in the build
ing. which was really necessary
last winter aud which cost came
out Of the appropriation tor 1900,
Then there had been bills passed
at the meeting of the board IN July
amounting to over five hundred
iellars and that money came out Of
this years appropriation This
The members tried to explain to
Mr.. Parker, but he would not have
it so and insisted that he was right.
Every member present with the
exception Of Dr. Columbus Henry,
who asked to be excused from vot-
ing, aud Trustee Beth. voted to
publish an article reIuting
the charges in the columns OF the
Every Evening and setting the pub

hat Trustee Parker is wrong in
bis contention aud has made mis-
lake in arriving at the conclusion
that the Trusteea have been un-
uecessarily extravagant with the
means at their disposal tor the
maintenance OF the poor and un-
ortunate 0f the county. The

ONE of the most distressing acci-
dents happened yesterday when
The new steamboat City OF Trenton,
plying between Philadelphia and
Trenton, blew up and II persons
were killed and many others burn
I'd and bruised. The steamer be-
ionged to the Wilmington Steamboat
Company and was in. charge of
Captain VIM. A. Worrel. The ac-
rident was due to the port boiler
bursting while the end blew aft,
tearing the entire port of the boat
out. After the explosion the boat
caught fire, which added to the hor-
ror. The news was received with
CONSERVATION IN this city, late in
The afternoon.
Why the boiler burst will probab
never be known The steamer was
built by Neahe & Levy Of Phila-
delphia and only put in commission
this summer. We hope a thorough
investigation as to the cause of the
accident will be m ade and the blame
laid where 1t belongs.

tains enveoping it; play Of lilacs, yel-

the pipe Of the quail, the mooing OF the

are intermixed with comedy, tragedy

an oveItlJwing house is foregone con-
cusion.

tion of his plays.
calvin Joslin' the funniest rural
comedy of the present day will be
the attraction at the Opera House
for next Wednesday afternoon and
night. calvin Joslin' and old
Vermont farmer, receives a letter
from an English lawyer informing
him that his calvin s. step.brother
has died in England leaving all his
fortune to him on condition that he
never marr,es. In case he is mar
red the fortune goes to Alvin's
nephew Edwin Milton, a New York
broker, providing he never marries.
Each is married but the other is not
aware Of it. Uncle Alvin m axes up
his mind to give his wife Clorlnda,
shrewish female, the slip aud 60
to New York, represent himself as
a single man and thus secure the
fortune. Upon his arrival ia
the city the old fellow gets into
all sorts Of difficulties and just as
he thinks he has secured the for
tune his wife comes to the city in
search of him. She finally finds
him and declares that be is her
husband. Alviu's efforts to alude
his wife results IN No end Of fun,
and the means he uses to get out Of
his many difficulties are laughable
IN the extreme.

love story pure and simple, and is told

a story OF how Dick Carewe and his
comrades rear and guide the only son OF
deceased chum; how they guard and
save him from the pitfalls and snares
that lie in the path Of life at ttwenty-one.
1t is story Of hearts bound together by
ties Of friendship that nothing can
break, and Of how the comrades save
their ward from the results Of his foolish
impetuosity. 1t also tells how great
and abiding love comes TO Dick all in
return for bis willing self-eacrlfce for
the girl he loves and who, he thinks,
loves Ills ward. This play Is undoubtedly
the greatest Of modern times and will be
presented by a superb company OF art.

Cz0lq0sz EIectr0cuted.

San Francisco, October 2o-Leon
Czolgosz, the assassin OF President Nc
Kin1ey, was electrocuted at Auburn
prison at 7:3o this morning. But few
witnesses were present, the warden on
~ issuing fifty invitations, three OF
them being to press association ag-
ents. What little sensationalism that
was looked for was spoiled as the pris-
oner faced the chair and the warden
with the utmost composure. He was
sullen and unrepentent to the end.
When asked is he had anything to
say as a last word to the living, he
said Il am not sorry" The deadly
current was applied at thirty minutes
past and in three minutes from that
time the physicians in charge pronoun-
ced him dead The entire affair was
conducted without any demonstration
either on the part OF the officials or
the prisoner. In fact Czolgosz was
about the most unaffected being in the
death chamber When led to the IA
tai chair hardly a muscle moved, and
he offered no resistance when the
straps were brought into place, some
OF them being fastened pretty tight, sc
tight in fact that man under ordinary
circumstances would have flinched.
When the current was applied the
face of the prisoner showed signs o
terrible pain as the muscles drew il
! a cOntOrted manner. no sound eve
passed his lips after the shock. 1t i
| believed that the body will be cremate'
| by relatives OF the dead man.
