INFORMATION from the Philippines is
20 the effect that q band Of MOros al
tackled the walled city of JOlo, and broke
up n military ball there in progress.
This will prove a shock to some. But
they should remember that the expansion
of civilization is a gradual process. In
deed, another six months may be re-
quired in which to bring these guileless
children OF nature into such a state of
refinement that they will not go bOlo
mad when the glittering gaiesy Of a social
function with martial trimmings bursts
suddenly upon tier gaze.

TO a Train.

A Chesapeake and Ohio passenger
train struck a tree at Cass, on the Green
brier division, Tuesday night, and the
entire train was thrown into the river,
80 feet below. The train consisted of an
engine combination coach and day
coachs all of which we're destroyed.
Engineer @. H. Dean and Fireman
Culp were badly injured. Six passen-
gers were slightly hurt. All the
injured were taken to the hospital
at Cas-, Fireman Culp died several
hours after being taken from the
wreck. 1t was learned later that Uriah
Byard, of Warrington, a passenger, was
so severely injured he may not recover.
He says the tree which caused the wreck
fell almost directly in frontof the engine.

TIE NEW YORK HERALD prints a long
article from its correspondent at Caracas,
in which details are given Of the diplo-
matte scandal that is centering around
Herbert w. Bowen, United States Min
lister to Venezuela, and Francis b.
LOOMS, Assistant Secretary Of State,
and which involve charges OF corruption
that have been made against the latter
BY Minister Bowen. "The scandal, ~
saws the Herald, Cracks the entire COM
munity and is of such a nature that,
whether true or false, i seems impossible
that the two officials can continue much
longer in the same department of gov
eminent. Had Bowen been recalled
some time ago the friction between this
country and Venezuela would not have
occurred. When the diplomatic affairs
of the United States are put in the hands
of such men as LOOMS and Bowen the
result can easily be foretold.

THE USE of glass paving and
building bricks in European cities is be-
coming more general, and may extend
into the United States. Should the Gus
tom finally reach Alexandria it would
become necessary for h%Ouseholders to
guard their property with shOtguns. AT
present some rascally youngsters divert
themselves by chipping pieces from stone
doorsteps, and a glass house and glass
pavement would afford a great tempta-
ton. The action Of certain vandals a
night or two ago who smashed the glass
globes in front of the Confederate Vet
erans' Hall and afterwards threw down
the vases in front of the Confederate
Monument are specimens of the wsnton
destruction of property in Alexandria.

unable to continue their salaries. Every
thing is ready for the Inauguration of the

Charged with Terrible Crime.

Charged with causing the death of q
fellow-workman by throwing him into Q
vat of cream of tartar and then turning
on the steam so as 10 parboil the body,
Gpsiaye Lebenz vas a prisoner in Brook
Ign Police Court yesterday. He was
held upon a homicide charge, made
upon information and belief by Police
Captain Reynolds.
The story of the alleged conniyance of
I.ebenz in the death of Theodore Won
Grolski is a gIewsome one. The two
men were employed by the Tartar
Chemical Company, in Brooklyn. On
the night of April Is Won Grofski dis
appeared, and his body, or what
remained of it, was later found in the
cream OF tartar vat, the contents Of which
were boiling. At the time it was be-
lieved that the man had fallen into it.
Won Grofski's body was found by Lebenz
aud a fellow-workman, Joseph Schmidt.
Schmidt told Captain Reynolds yester-
day that there was nc steam in the vat
just before Won GrOfski was missed, but
that when Won Grofski disappeared
Lebenz turned on the steam and set the
cream of tartar boiling. When the two
men found Van Groski's skeleton
Lebenz exclaimed that he saw Won Gro'-
ski lamp in the vat. Schmidt, however,
told the police that it was Lebehz's lamp

Mrs, HOch.

One more name may be added to the
long list of matrimonial dupes Of Johann
Hoch, now on trial in Chicago, charged
with murder, if the accusations made by
Karl Frederick Lofler, of Durlach, Ger
msny, are true. In a letter received in
Chicago yesterday by the police LOf1er
declares he has identified a picture of
Hoch as that of a man who married Lof-
heI's niece, Justine Lofier, in Chicago,
in 1902. Lofler declares hat his niece,
after going to New York with Hoch,
married the alleged Bluebeard, whose
assumed name was was Richard Schmidt.
The oma disappeared and LOtfier says
he believes she wa murdered by the
self.confessed bigsmist. Miss Loiier,
according to the information furnished
in the fetter from her uncle, came to
America in 1896, going to Elkhart, Ind,
to live with another uncle, Christian
Lofier. Later she went to Chicsgo,
where she met Orchard Schmidt. y
While in Elkhart the womaEiwas given
many valuable presents and several hum
dred dollars in money by her uncle.
