The last three days of this week hive
been comparatively quiet in the matter OF
real estate transactions though tho county

fifty Instruments to file each day Yester-
day there We're very few deals that have
not heretofore been mentioned, but II may
be stated that the old Allen homestead on
the corner OF Main street and Rusk avenue
was formerly transferred to John H. Kirby.

an exclusive agent, can keep In close touch
with him every day and hour withdraw the

Avenue D, Baycnne, N. j.. 1t be-.
came known that Laura Biggar. tie

Sanatorium. is Mrs. Bennett, wife of
Henry NJ. Bennett, the dead Pitts
burg millionaire, who left his fortune

ecutives refused to permit this burial
Of the child in the Bennett plot at
Asbury Park.
BY the chIld's death the former
actress becomes entitled to the for.
tune, which right has been contested
by BENEFITS relatives. At the San.

Laura Biggar has a marriage certif.
icate, but her counsel has instructed
her not to show it. 1t states when

UPRISING III CHINA.
Missionary Society Hears of Boxer
Activity.

Missionary Society Hears of Boxer
Activity.
NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-The Metho-
dist mission board has received by mail
number OF reports from its agents in
China concerning the recent local up
risings in China
The Rev. Joseph Beech of Chungking,
west China, writes:
"Word has just been received from
the Rev. w. Edward Manly and the
Rev. Spencer Lewis, superintendent of
the mission, who are in that neighbor-
hood, that the Red Lantern society, the
local name for Boxers has burned the
chapel at Tienkuchiao and killed the
preacher and four other members. The
officials have endeavored to suppress
the Boxer practices ard had previously
decapitated six and crucifed one.
Through this section there has been
drought for considerable time, and
this adds to the unrest We are conf.
dent the officials can cope with it, but
1t may cause us much loss in the out
lying districts"
Under a later date Mr.. Beech writes:
"Since last writing more news of the
Boxer troubles has arrived. 1t indi-
Gates widespread movement, with in
creasing power and violence. In addi-
ton to the destruction Of the Tienku-
chiao community, Wukwanytsang has
been destroyed, but most of the people
escaped. Between Tstcheo and Chentu
the extent Of, the trouble Is unknown,
but letter from Brother Cady states
there Is considerable alarm at Chentu,
though the officials are confident there
will be no serious trouble there.
Throughout the country, however,
there has been widespread destruction
already, and it is probable that most of
the Christians living outside walled cit
les, comprising several hundred per-
sons, will lose all they have, If not life
itself. There are now very many who
have neither home, food nor clothing.
Brother Spencer Lewis is doing what
he can to assist them and has secured
about so taels from the officials for
this purpose and coffins to bury the
dead. Brother Lewis telegraphs that
the Boxers have been defeated. All is
quiet here, and the officials seem conf
dent that the trouble will be confined
to the country districts"

To Investigate Charge

A meeting ofthe committee recen.
tIy appointed by the Board OF Edu-
cation to investigate the charges
made by Bernard Donaho,. that
the Board was robbed OF several
thousand dollars in the recent coal
contract, has been called for Fri.
day evening by Robert c. Fraim,
chairman Of the committee. Mr..
Don aho is to be asked to make the
charges under oath.
1t 10 not likely that Mr.. Don aho
will make charges under oath for
reasons which have already been
explained aud the question is what
will happen if he does not . Under
the motion by which the committee
was appointed, 1t cannot proceed
with 40 investig alton unless Donaho
swearssto his charges. There ar .
many who'feel that the investiga-
tion oug hit 10 60 on weather addi-
tional charges are filed or not aud
It is probable that the comm itt ce
will consider this subject.
Those who know Mr.. Fraim are
confident that he will insist upon an
investig ateon it there 10 any law
for making it, and that he will
push the matter to the end, Others
have been made in the board in
addition to those made by Mr..
Donaho and it is possible that
these may also be referred 10,
though little was said Of them at
the time they were made. There
il no doubt that the general feel.
ing 10 an favor Of an investig alton
weather Douaho swears to what
be said or not.

ventilation 10 now considering the

SUCCESSFUL.
FIRE TEST.

| The Wilmington fire deparrmen,
had its annual fire test yesterday
AFTERNOON along the Brandy wine. /
The test was satisfa ctory, but in
conseq uence Of it 4 number OF COM
pauies will have 10 replace sections
of hose which burst under the pres.
sure placed upon it.
The test was upon Fractional
lines. like the one of last year. and
noEe OF the companies were allow
ed to make exhibition squirts.
Each steam FIRE engine company
was compelled 10 run line OF 1000
feet of hose and through this throw
a stream Of water for the time re-
quired under the conditions Of the
test. The streams were thrown
across the Brandywine creek so
there was no opportunity of measur.
ing the distance. This showed
whether the hose was ia frst.class
condition. The other apparatus
was merely examined by the CON-
mittee, and such tests ordered al
deemed necessary.
Good time was made with the
apparatus. The companies were
summoned 40 needed and while one
company was being tested the other
was preparing for the test. In this
way there was no delay 10 the
movements ol the test.
More people were attracted BY
the event than ever before, and
crowds stocd along the wall or sat
on the park banks and watched the
fireman at work. Many in the
crowd we're women and children.
Next 10 the bers Of the lire de-
partment they were the most To-
terested spectators.
