Crew Abandoning
Steamship Delhi;
Loss Will Be Total

GIBRALTAR, Dec. 14.-All the members
Of the royal party comprising the prin-
cess royal, the duke of Fife and their
two daughters, who suffered such ter
rible experiences during their landing
from the wreck of the steamer Delhi off
Cape Spartel yesterday, are reported TO
be we'll today, although much exhausted.
Ten of the male passengers of the Delhi
are still in board. They and the crew,
will It is said, be landed in the course
of the day by means OF the rocket ap-
paratus.
1t is impossible for life saving boats
to approach the wreck because OF the
high sea. The stern of the liner has
shifted further ashore and the vessel is
badly strained.
According to later reports from Cape
Spartel, the position of the wrecked
steamer Delhi has now become so perflous
that the entire crew will be Obliged TO
abandon it. Only five passengers are
still on board. All the others have been
taken off and have reached Tangter on
mule back.
The steamer is undoubtedly lost, but its
cargo maybe saved.

FOUR PERSONS MURDERED
Three Women and Man Beaten to
Death Near Albany, N. Y.
BODIES FOUND IN THE BARN
Police Are Looking for italian Farm
Hand Supposed 20 he Insane
Money in the House IL
Not Disturbed.

ALBANY. N. Y, Dec. 14-Sone time
between last Thursday noon and even
ing an Italian farm hand employed by
the Morner family of De Freestville, a
Rensselaer, county hamlet, six miles from
Albany. is believed by the police to have
slain Mrs. Conrad Morner, widow; her
two daughters, Edith, aged 20. and
Blanche, aged II, and her 8-year-old son,
Arthur.
The bodies OF the three women were
discovered last night in the COW barn
on the Morner place, where they had been
so hacked with a Ratchet and battered
with a balestlck that the murderer had
been able to crush ell three OF them into
small manure pile on one side OF the
stable. Arthur Morner's body, with the
throat cut, was found under another part
of the barn floor. Trace of the farm
hand, who was known as Ed Dennis, is
lacking.
A blood stained Ratchet and a four-foot
balestick were found in the pit near the
three bodies and with these the police be-
lieve the murderer first felled and then
mutilated his victims. Mrs Morner had
received a blow from the Ratchet on the
right side of the head and her skull was
fractured in several places.
The body Of the elder girl, Edith, also
was badly cut and bruised. Her head
was nearly severed by q blow from the
Ratchet and there was a large hole in her
left temple. The younger girls body was
the least mutilated.
Motive for the crime seems to be lack
ing. What money there was in the house
before the murder was found intact.
Indications, the authorities say, point to
the murderer as being insane.

Proposal to Keep
Federal Employees
Out of Politics

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. IA nation
wide campaign to keep federal employees
out of politics is suggested In the report
OF the council Of the National Civil Serv-
ice league. which began its annual con-
vention here today. The report says:
THE federal pOstmasters, collectors
etc. the kind of officials that formed so
large part Of the delegations to the re-
publican presidential convention OF 1905,
and whose activities practically controlled
the balance OF the delegates from the
southern states are none of them under
civil service rules, and the present ex-
ecutive order regarding excessive political
activity is of small practical value in re-
straining such officers from undue politi-
cal activity. We propose to have an in
vestigation of the activity Of federal
officeholders during the coming cam
paign."

DlSPOSITION-AEAn


CATTLE-Cattle receipts for a Thurs
day were very liberal. 1871 cars being re-
ported In. The receipts for the four days
this week amount to $3.50 head, being
the largest OF any similar period since
Tour weeks ago and larger than year
ago by almost 5000 head Such a liberal
run would naturally give the market a
weaker tendency but unfortunately there
has been an additional bear feature con-
slsting OF glutted markets at eastern
points. Chicago has slumped very badly
this week and was reported slow and
lower again this morning.
Under the Influence OF the liberal re-
cstpts and unfavorable advices from other
points noted above the market on beef
steers this morning opened very slow and
dull. Possibly something right good
might command steady prices, but the
coming was weak to Toe lower than yes
terday, or around SOC lower than last
Thursday, which was the high day last
week.
What has been said regarding beef
steers would apply equally we'll to the
market on cows and heifers. They were
lower again than yesterday, or around
50c lower than the high day last week.
This means that all the advance made on
killing cattle last week has been wiped
Strictly good feeders were very scarce
and they have shown very little change
all the week, but the tendency has been
gradually downward on the medium and
stock cattle. The feeling today on such
grades was weak to lower

SHEEP-Most of the regular buyers Of
rat sheep and lambs were out In the al
leys early and good market existed for
anything fed out long enough to dress
properly In all important respects the
trade ruled steady, but there were various
sales OF medium stuff that looked a little
stronger when due allowance was made
for quality. High grade stock generally
drew the better demand and usually sold
within the same spreads noted recently.
Well conditioned western lambs from
Nebraska and Iowa feedlots moved
around s5.60Q570, the latter price being
near limit 1t would take something
strictly choice in the way of tidy lambs
to pass the S5.75 mark at present, de-
spite the fact that $5.S50p600 tops were
scored earlier In the week. Compared with
last weeks close most kinds OF lambs are
closing about steady, the main feature
Of trade lately being more severe dis
elimination between good to choice and
common to medium mutton classes.
Matured muttons showed very fair &C
ton and firm prices were paid all along
the line for anything with dressing prom
lse. Good ewes landed at and near $40
and some tCppy yearling ewes went to
the slaughter pens at Al5. There were
only few strings of wethers on sale,
as total receipts were limited to 600
head. and values showed no ouotable
change. Choice, handy wethers were
wanted around $500, top that is mar

that at last weeks close.
There was nothing much doing in feed
ers for the double reason that supply and
demand were both small. Only 5000 head
of feeder sheep and lambs, according to
packers tab have been taken back into
