ANOTHER BREAK AT FAIR HAVEN
D. & H Station Entered for the Third
Time This Summer.

FAIR HAVEN, July "a. - For the
third time this summer the Delaware
and Hudson railroad station in this
town was broken into Saturday even
ing. Nothing of value was taken, the
burglars being disturbed before they
had completed the job. One man, a
stranger, is under arrest.
At 6.45 o'cloek while the employees
at the station Were at supper two boys,
who were seated on the south side of
the station, heard a commotion inside,
and upon investigating, the doors to the
waiting room being unlocked, found
two men in the ticket office.
The men made a dash for the door
and ran up the track, one of them
boarding a passing freight train which
was bound for Whitehall.
The boys at once gave the alarm
and Officer Lewis Howard began work
on the ease, the boys giving a good de-
scription of the man who failed to
board the freight.
He was seen at Calvi 5 fruit market
and was traced to the corner of River
and Main streets, where he was placed
under arrest at $50 o clock.
He gave the name of Farley and
claimed to come from Montreal. Sew
eral papers and post cards, showing
views of that city, were found on his
person. He denied having had any
thing to do with the former raids.

IRISH QUESTION
AT AN ACUTE STAGE
John Redmond Likely to Press Premier
Asquith for Statement of Gov
ernment's Intentions.

LONDON, July 24.-Premier Asquith
told John Redmond, leader of the Irish
Nationalists in the house of commons,

propose to introduce an Irish bill in
regard to which there did not appear
to be the prospects of substantial
agreement by all political parties. Mr..
Redmond obtained leave to move the
adjournment of the house in order to
call attention to the rapidly growing
unrest in Ireland owing to the fact that
that the government did not propose
to carr out in entirety the terms sub
mitted for the temporary settlement. .
Mr.. Asquith later made a similar an
nouncement in the house of commons.

SIX KILLED BY
BOMB EXPLOSION
Large Number Injured in Sal.s Francisco
Machine Fired at Time of Pre-
parednesS Parade.

SAN FRANCISCO, July "a. - A
bomb, exploded presumably by Anar-
chists in protest against the prepared
ness parade, killed at least four per
sons Saturday afternoon at Stuart
and Market streets, and injured % Sc
riously, besides inficting lesser in
iuries upon scores of others.
The capacity of downtown hospitals
were taxed to care for victims, but the
parade went on. Frank Josephs, a
Finnish sailor, aged 46, was arrested
in connection with the outrage as
within few feet of the victims he
made a stump speech, lauding anarchy
and saying: "Phis is nothing"
The bomb, one of the deadliest infer
nal machines ever put together, was
left in suitcase at the corner and
exploded just as the 1st California
regiment was passing, the line of the
parade getting into full swing.
The bomb consisted of a suitcase
packed with explosives and crammed
with nails, cartridges, slugs and other
missiles, making it more deadly than
the shrapnel of European battlefields
Hundreds of persons were gathered
at the corner beside the serried ranks
of the marchers, and the missiles
ploughed through them. The building
against which the suit case had been
left was wrecked, the stores across the
street partly demolished Persons cut

1ol. Reeves has assigned me the pleasant
duty of sending a word now and then TO
the home papers, IN order that the friends
at home may have an official word as to
the health and welfare of the men. | am
glad to report that thus far the men are
IN excellent spirits and there have been
no more cases OF illness than would be
likely to occur among the same number
OF men at home The ONLY illness at all
serious has been that of Private Vance
Rich OF Company +, who is making a rap
ld and complete recovery from an opera
ton Tor appendicitis. Aside from admin
lstratlon OF the typhoid prophyIactic and
vaccinations. the medical staff has had
little to do. One OF the doctors has sug-
gested he might bring his family here as
a desirable health resort. What little i'll
hess we have had has come from drinking
too much pop and eating pies bought at
the exchanges and outside stands Restric-
tions were placed promptly on the sale
LOT these articles, and the good effect was
noticed at once, The army lations are
clean, healthy, and abundant and both
+ officers and men live as well as they do
at home,
| 1t is natural for the boys to write scarv
letters about the terrible beasts and fear
ful climate, but so far no one has been
wounded by horned toad nor has there
! been a single case of heat prostration
| The friends at home should remember that
/ Texas has considerable permanent popu-
lation, many OF them from the north, and
| that they stay here of their own free
Twill and accord, because they like the CON
dltIons Frankly, | prefer Vermont. but |
have to admit that have seen nothing in
Texas 50 disagreeable as the slush and mud
of the annual spring thaw in Vermont
| We have precisely the same conditions
here as obtain in other regions of the
southwest where tuberculosis patients are
sent and which are found so favorable for
ltheir recovery.
The first thought of Col Reeves and his
staff has been TO conserve the health OF
the men, and there have been no military
leXigencies to compel hardships or priva
ton. | trust, therefore, that if any Of
the boys write home in a way TO stil
anXiety their friends will remember thai
it is always the temptation of the traveller
to magnify unfavorable comparisons will
home conditions, and that they Will tak'
some OF the awe-inspiring descriptions
with grain of salt The boys need hom,
support, above all frequent letters remind
ing them of home obligations, and if sucl
encouragement does not fail, they are hike
ly to come out of this experience stronge
and better men.
