A series of incendiary attempts

days, culminated early Sunday

The beautiful church was a

eating its very heart out. The

Miss Bryan And
Abner.
Mr. and Mrs. Bryan and their
ittle 6 year old daughter Gract
eft Washington for their home
n Nebraska the day before the
inauguration. While they were
at the Washington depot await
ing their train, says a Washing
ton correspondent, Abner Mc
Kinley, the brother of the Presi
dent approached the party and
cordially shook Mr. Bryan's
hand. He was presented to
Mrs. Bryan. Theti Mr. Bryan
said: "This is nry daughter,
Grace."
Mr. McKinley held out his
hand with a pleasant smile.
Grace looked up at him with a
frown on her pretty face. She
put her tiny hands behind her
back and shook her head.
"Won't you shake hands with
me?" asked Mr. McKinley in a
grave voice.
"No, I won't," said Grace, -'I
nebber shake hands with a 'Kin
ley man."
Mr. McKinley looked hurt,
until it was explained to him
that Grace had no dislike for
him, but treated every " 'Kinley
man" with the same disdain. .

When John McNulty was ar
raigned in Jefferson Market
Court the other day for having
been tound drunk in the hall
way of 113 Christopher street the
previous night Magistrate Crane
asked him what he had to say
for himself:
"I but obeyed the teachings of
the Bible," he pleaded.
"I don't think you did," re
plied the Court. "The police
man says you were drunk."
Taking the Bible used for ad
ministering oaths to witnesses,
McNulty turned the pages rap
idly aud read from Proverbs
xxxi., 6-7: "Give strong drink
xinto him that is ready to perish,
and wine unto those that be
heavy of heart, Let him drink
and forget his poverty and res
member his misery no more."
"Discharged!" was the brief
comment of the Court.
How
Girls Should
Proposals.
Consider
"My dear girl, when a man
asks you to become his wrife you
ought to put some questions to
yourself' writes Ruth Ashmore
to girls on "The Profession of
Marriage," in the April Ladies'
Home Journal. "Satisfy your
self that you love this man well
enough, not only to be happy
with him, but, if need be, to
suffer with hirn. Decide for
yourself if this be the man of all
others in whom you will find
your ideals companion, for com
panionship means as much in
marriage as in friendship. Then,
you must think of the future.
Ask yourself, too, whether this
man brings out in you all that
is best, whether he provokes
that which is little and mean in
you, or whether he piques you
into making light of that which
is good. Decide whether this
man is the one with whom you
would, without hesitancy, sub
mit questions that trouble your
conscience. Then, too, you must
ask yourself what seems, perhaps
like a trivial question, whether
this man is one whose name vou
will feel honored in bearing, not
because of any material wealth
he may possess, but because of
hi.s being an honest gentleman.
Think out all these things, ask
yourself question upon question,
not onlA" as to his fiitness, but as
to yours, and then, if you give
him the loving answer that he
wishes, try to become thorouuhly
acquainted with him.'
MURDER IN 1ST DEGREE.
Charles Bobo Convicted for the
Killing of James Washington.
WILL HANG MAY 14TH.
The Murder Occurred at the New
Berne Fair.
The trial of Charles Bobo, at
New Berne, charged with the
murder of James Washington,
both colored, resulted in a ver
dict of guilty. The iury was
out all night, and after render
iug their verdict, Judge Ewart
sentenced Bobo to be hanged on
the 14th of May.
The parties were rival Jockeys
at the New Berne Fair, and the
trouble between the men arose
over the merits of their respec
tive horses.
MADE FIFTEEN KNOTS.
The Gunboat Wilmington Earned
$15,000 Premium.
After waiting in harbor at
New Loudon, Conn., nearly a
week and making three unsuc
cessful attempts for an official
speed trial, the gunboat WiK
mington went over the course of
twenty-seven miles; straight
away and return, in the total
elapsed time of 3 hours, 35 min
utes and 54 seconds, making an
average of fifteen and a fraction
knots per hour, unofficial time
and subject to correction.
The Wilmington's contract
called for thirteen knots, and her
work won for the builders a
premium of at least $40,000.
Four j More Saved.
It is believed that Captain
Paul Jagueneau, Second Mate
M. Nicalal, one of the engineers
and one of the firemen of the
French line steamer Ville de St.
Nazaire, which was wrecked off
Cape Hatteras on the 7th inst.,
an account of which was given
in the Fisherman & Farmer
last week, have been saved.
The British steamer Maroa
from Norfolk for Hamburg
while passing the Lizard Satur
day made signals which were
understood to mean "We have
rescued the captain, second mate
engineer and fireman of the Ville
de St. -Nazaire."
Hunting Fight News at Sea.
An amusing incident occured
on the last passage from Boston
to Savannah of the steamer Na
coochee, Captain Smith. While
the steamer was under full steam
a rovvboat was sighted off Cape
Hatteras. The men in the boat
signalled for the Nacoochee to
stop, and, thinking that they
might be shipwrecked sailors.
The captain caused the steamer
to slow down. When within
hailing distauce of the boat he
was informed that it belonged
to a fishing schooner which
was seen in the distance. The
men iu the boat simply wanted
to know who won the fight at
Carson.
New Jersey raising cotton-
Jos2ph Vance, a farmer living
near Cape May, N. J., who last
year raised several samples of
rice and cotton which turned
out satisfactory will this season
enter more largely on the plan
by planting a large amount of
ground in the two staples. Ow
ing to the mildness of the cli
mate due to the peculiar insular
position of Cape May, the south

over eight months. She doctored
for it nearly the whole of this
time, using various remedies
recommended by friends, and
was treated by the physicians,
but received no relief. She then
used one and a half bottles of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which
effected a complete cure. This
is published at her request, as
she wants others similarly afflict

WORKMEN BLOWN TO ATOMS.
Terrible Explosion of Nitro
Glycerine in New Jersey.
Three workmen were blown
to atoms and several others were
injured shortly after noon Fri
day by an explosion at the Ro
pauno Nitro-glycerine works on
the Delaware river front, near
Woodbury, N. J.
None of the injured are seri
ously hurt. The explosion was
felt and heard ten miles from
the mills.
The Repauno works are oper
ated by the Duponts (of powder
making fame) and are used for
the manufacture of nitro-glycerine
and gun cotton.
The explosion occurred in the
house where the nitro glycerine
goes through one of the most
delicate and dangerous processes.
The three men who were blown
to atoms were the only occupants!
of the building, and the cause of
the disaster cannot be learned.
Some of the workmen who
were pasing through the yard of
the nitro-glycerine works say
they saw the separating house
rise bodily in the air and then
they were thrown to the ground
by the awful blast.
When the separating house
had stood there was a great hole
in the ground and the trees for
two hundred yards around were
denuded of their limbsaud twist
ed by the force of the explosion
The bodies of the victims had
been blown into fragments which
r 1 . . -
were iouna scattered lor a con
siderable distance around.
Heir to a Fortune in Aus

has received notice from the
Austrian Consul at Philadelphia
that he is part heir to a fortune
of three hundred thousand flor
ins left him by his graudmother,
who recently died in the little
town of Torwad, Austria. A
letter from Austria states that a
portion of the legacy will be
sent to him at once.
Wreath sent by McKinley.
A beautiful floral wreath from
the White House conservatories,
and a touching letter of condo
lence from President McKinley,

family of Brakeman William
Painter, who died at Pittsburg,
Pa., on Tuesday from injuries
received at the Union Depot,
rittsburg, when the inaugural
train pulled in. Painter was
fatally injured through being
crushed against a post by the
crowd that was thronging Mc
