 Church.

His home was in Delaware, where it is said his parents and other relatives live. Two weeks ago he was married to the organist of his church. He had seemed happy and satisfied and gave promise of being a successful minister, So far as can be learned his married life was happy. No cause is known for his act. This morning after breakfast he remarked to his. wife, as if joking, she thought, that he guessed he would kill himself during the day.

Effect of Advances in Medical Science
 and Sanitation.

Washington, Aug. 21.-The census bu- reau to-day made public the mortality statistics for the year 1900. w. A. King, chief of the vital statistics division, says:
 / "The most important feature of the results presented is found in the de- crease in the general death rate in the registration area of IS per 1000 popu- lation, a decrease of nearly 10 per cent, and the decrease in the rates from the particulars to which the decrease IS due.
 ''The effect of the advances made in medical science and sanitation and in the preventative and restrictive meas ures enforced by the health authorities is still more strikingly shown in the comparative rate for the registration cities of the country taken together. In 1890 the death rate in 271 registra- tjon cities of 5000 or more population was 21 per 1,000; in 1900 the rate was 1s.e per 1000; in 341 cities of 5000 pop ulation and upward, a reduction of "A per 1,000
 The registration area includes Con- recticut. District of Columbia, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hamp- shire. New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont, with the cities therein, and many cities in other states. The rate in Connecticut was 170,

New Canaan, Conn, Aug. 21.-Some- thing of a sensation was created here this evening when Rev Edwin Bell, pastor of the Baptist church, was ar rested on a charge of islander preferred by Judge G. D. Nichols. In his com plaint Judge Nichols says that on Sun day last MT. Bell, in a sermon to his congregation, said Judge Nichols has not drawn a sober breath for over six months" Mr. Bell denies the charge, but Judge Nichols says he has any number of witnesses among the congregation of the Baptist church.
 MT. Bell was obliged to remain fn the lookup for some time owing to his inability to obtain bail, which was fixed at $1 ,500. One of his parishioners came to his rescue, however, and MT. Bell went immediately to his home. MT. Bell has been in New Canaan but a short time, coming here from Brooklyn N. Y. Since his arrival here he las caused considerable talk by his sensa- tional speeches, and after his sermon of Sunday his arrest was not entirely unexpected.

Neither Side Makes Any Gain-Evident Preparations, However, by the Opera tors to Start the Tin Plate Works mt McKcesport-NIiIIs Recently Started Running Without lnterruption- Some Wild Hum0rs.

Pittsburg, Aug. 21.-The steel strike situation underwent no change to-day. There was no extension of the strike and the steel managers did not at tempt to start more mills. Late in the day the fires were lighted in the Demmler tin plate works at McKees- port, but the machinery was not start ed and no attempt was made to oper ate it.

The managers of the company have been preparing for sev- eral days to reopen a number of their properties and it is thought that they have decided to act at once.

GROUNDING OF THE ELFRIDA
NATAL MILITIA YACHT NOT DAM
 AGED BYTHE ACCIDENT.
Lieutenant-C Commander Cornwall in Command When the Boat Went Ashore.-A Heavy Fog Prevailed and Boat Easily Pulled Off by Steam Fishing Vessel.

Montauk Point, l.. l., Aug. 21,-The grounding of the Elfrida in the fog this morning was of little importance. The yacht left Fishers Island with the second division at a. m. and made the harbor by compass. The steamer was in the harbor channel when the fish ing nets lying off the beach were dis covered but Lieutenant Commander Cornwell, who was in command of the yacht, was unable to make out where he was until the shore loomed up but a short distance ahead. The little cruiser was under half speed at the time and signal to reverse the screw was given at once. The engine refused to respond quickly, however, owing to some defect which has not been located as yet and the boat stuck her nose into the beach. An attempt was made to get the yacht out of her inconvenient position by kedging it but this proved to be a slow process and when the fog lifted the De Blois, a steamer fishing vessel which was lying nearby. was signaled for assistance. A line was at tached and the wacth was hauled off. The yacht was delayed but short time and the days routine was continued all most without interruption, the target practice during the afternoon being the first work of this kind on board the boat. The yacht was not damaged in the least
