of Balfour and his party whips, the gov
eminent only secured a majority of 3S
on the licensing bill, which is less than
one-third of their normal majority. The
army question, it is believed, will be the
rock on which the government ship will
founder. tits believed this question will
divide the Cabinet and cause its dissolu-
ton when it comes up tor voting in
September. Then, too, it is thought
he army discussion will rally many to
the liberal cohorts and bring to them a
record majority. Many free tradeunion-
lists are supporting the liberals and this
support will continue. Lord Deyonshfre
is expected to join Lord ROsebery, the
liberal leader, in few days.

Thirty.three Persons Killed.

Thirty-three persons were killed by
an accident which took place near Span
ish Town, 10 miles west Of Kingston,
Jqmaica, yesterday morning in the main
conduit of the West Indian Electric
Company, which operates the street cars
from Kingston, and the shareholders Of
which are principally Canadians. Near
~ 100 laborers had been detailed to re-
move sand from the enormous pipe,
which is mile long and which conveys
water from the intake on the Rio Cobre
to the turbines of the powerhouse. The
work had practically been completed
when orders were given 10 allow small
quantity of water to enter the conduit.
Through misrepresentation, accident, or
carelessness, the full force Of water was
turned on and mad struggle 70 escape
by means of manholes ensued, with the
result that 33 persons were killed. The
tragedy has cast a gloom over the
colony, and rigid investigation into the
cause is now in progress.

REV. l.. G.. BROUGHTON, of Atlanta,
Ga, and r. w. WestbrOok, Chief Of
Police of the same city, were principals
in fight in barber shop at Albany,
Ga, yesterday evening. The trouble
was the outcome of scurrilOus remarks
by the preacher concerning Westbrook
in a sermon last Sunday. This is an
other sad instance where a minister OF
the gospel has mistaken his calling by
using the pulpit as place to excoriate
an official. Many preachers are over
aggressive and are by no means careful
as to what they utter concerning their
fellow-men. Most of them, however,
use general terms, but too many make
personal illusions or personal attacks
from the sacred desk. Yet preachers
are among the most sensitive of all
people A mere suggestion is often re-
scented, and in face of the fact that they
are thin-skinned and cannot endure con-
tradiction they do not hesitate to throw
stones at others. The disgraceful scene
in the Albany barber shop should be a
hint to all aggressive ministers, especially
to such as have a penchant for taking
a hand in politics. When the preacher
enters this arena he has all to lose aud
nothing to gain.

Murder Mystery.

As was stated in the Gazette, the
charred and mutiated remains of Miss
Annie Boiling. 80 years old, we're found
Sunday morning in the woods near Air
land postoifice, in Sussex county. She
had left the home of Charles Stuart,
where she had lived for some time as one
of the family. She was a handsome
woman, but of peculiarly retiring dis
position. A short time ago relative
lett 81, 900 for her support. She had
been missing since Tuesday. On that
day she walked into the orchard to
gather some apples, and was not seen
alive again. The indications are that
she had been first murdered and then
burned. The remains were found under
tree, and the underbrush had teen
burned for fifty feet around. Her hair
had been cut from her head and was
found some distance away. Mr.. Crow
shaw, the nearest neigbbor, says he
heard cries 10 the direction of the spot
Tuesday evening, but storm was COM
ing up, and he supposed it to be some
boys shouting. tits said that Miss Boil
ling's eccentricity of remaining alone
was attributed to impairment of her
mind. The affair is shrOuded in mystery,
and the coroner will investigate today.
One theory is that she was assaulted and
then burned to hide the crime.

MAKE A smoke and fool Jack Frost. :"
This is the advice of the State Depart
ment to the owners of vineyards and
orchards, based on the report of expert
ments made in France, according to u.
S. Consul Haynes at Rouen, who says
one large wine grower last year saved
% per cent. of his crnp, or something
like $50 barrels Of wine, by creating
smudges at the proper time The plan
followed, he says, is to surround the
orchard or vineyard with small fires of
pitch built in little basins sunk in the
earth. These basins are fifty feet apart
"Any substance can be burned" writes
Mr.. Haynes, (Which gives an abundant
smoke, such as green herbs, moss, damp
straw, tufts of grass, ETC., but the best
results have been obtained by heavy oils
which are the residues of gas" This
"yaluable information" will be read with
amused surprise by the Florida and
California orange growers who have for
years past been "fooling Jack Frost" in
this identical way. Some people have
to go from home to learn home customs.

Robbed ofS12.OOO.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 2S.-Walter
Scott. of San Francisco, walked into
police headquarters here today and AS
serted that he had been robbed of $12,
900 in gold Dust on aPennsylvauia Rail-
road train between Johnstown, Pa, and
Altoona. He had been mining in the
Klondyke and was taking the dust to
New York. 1t had been in trunk
but the baggagemaster refused to be re-
sponsible for it and, at Pittsburg, Scott
transferred it to a suit case. He made
no particular secrecy about the matter
and, when he retired last night, put
the case under his Pullman berth.
When he awakened after passing AL.
toona the bag was gone and previously
closed window in an adjoining berth
was wide open. Scott believes that it
was thrown out by some one on the
train and that a confederate outside was
in the plot. The victim is typical
miner and appears to be wealthy. 81
don't care d-for the gold" he told
the detectives here, "but / hate like
to have my friends think I'm so easy"

New York stock Market.

New York, June %, LA. m.-The
stock market was extremely quiet this
morning with irregularity in prices and
slight downward tendency. There
was little feature to the dealings and the
speculation reflects the influence of the
approaching triple holiday. Little was
doing in the industrial group, but prices
generally were a trihe lower. The mar
ket at the opening Of the second hour
still presented an aspect of dullness with
little disposition to trade on either side
of the account.

BARON ALPHONsE DE ROTHsCHILD,
Baron Edmond de Rothschild and Baron
Gustave de Rothschild, three of the chiefs
of the Rothschild family, called upon
M. Trouillot, the French Minister Of
Commerce, yesterday and Informed him
of their intention to give 81, 900, 600 for
the purpose Of providing cheap and
healthy dwellings for the Partisan work
ing classes. This muuifcent act upon
the part of the ROthschilds will appeal
to the common sense Of people through
out the world. They realize the fact
that those who struggle against chill
penury throughout life cannot eat libra
ries or subsist on massive drinking fOun-
tains, nor appease the pangs of hunger
by gazing upon monuments or parks
These historic members of the Hebrew
race, upon whom the windows of heaven
have opened and showered ducats have
given literally of their abundance-not
for monuments to perpetuate their fame
but for dwelling places for tie poor
who will rise up and called them blessed.

TUESDAY EVENING. JUNE 2S, 1904

AppIcKs's followers in Delaware are
;ubilant over his success at Chicago,
and purpose to hold primary elections
in the State for the purpose OF cham
pioning their favorite's cause. With the
national machine behind them and
Senators Fairbanks and SpCOner advo-
eating their cause, urged on by the
President himself, Addicks's men are
hopeful of victory. Addicks will have
to win his members of the Legislature
from the lower counties. His leaders
claim they can carry almost solidly the
districts of Kent and Sussex counties.
Even with the aid Of immense sums OF
money in the past they have not been
able to do so, but now they have the
election machinery, which will mean
votes to them. The influx of negroes
from Maryland will also be of assistance.
The regular leaders believe they can
see that the Addicks legislative candi-
dates in sufficient districts in Kent and
Sussex are defeated, with the result OF a
hold-up Legislature and no successor
will oe chosen to take the place OF
Senator Ball. Politics make strange
bedfellows. 1t was necessary for the
national convention to defy the wishes
of many good and honest men OF the
party who were averse to Addicks, and
attempt to foist that individual upon
the people of Delaware nolens volens.
