After tho latter had become pretty well distributed among the men nnd boys there was a light every ten minutes; heads wero cut with beer bottles, revolvers were nourished, and numerous eyes were put In mourning.

Tho stove was used for heating Irons, aud stood In a small room very close to tho woodwork. It was probably left at noon with too much draft on, aud the baseboard caught lire, and tho Uamo worked its way up inside the parti tion to the joists on the third Moor, which were considerably charred when discov ered.

Ho returned about seven or eight o'clock and found Gueskl slttimr very clo3o to Mrs. Sobrcskl. Sobrcskl told him ho had no business thcro when he was not at home and ordered him to leave. Gueskl gavo him n defiant look and a derisive smile. Sobrcskl reached for tho revolver and struck nt him, intending to hit him on tho shoulder. Tho revolver was discharged and the ball entered Ou eski's right side n short distnnco below tho arm and proved fatal in a few minutes. As soon ns Sobrcskl discovered that Gu eskl was shot he raised nu nlnrm. Sobrcski has been questioned aud freely relates the whole occurrence.

For many yearn doubt has existed in tho minds ot public school authorities whether townships nnd boroughs hnd tho tight to furnish text books free to the Btudcnta of tho public schools. Some years ago when lion. Wm.

Neither case wns ever taken to tho Supremo Court, henco tho doubt spoken ot nbovc. The matter has been settled by tho Inst Legislature, by which n special act author izes directors to furnish frco text books. The bill has Just been signed by tho Gov ernor, and Is therefore a law. Tho act, however, docs not compel directors to furnish the books, but allows them to do so, and It Is probnblo Hint It will result In the distribution of tho frco text books. I.liclitfttrcct.

Many ot our readers who attended Bar- num's show at Danville, n few weeks ago, will remember Hie largo elephant that led thu performing herd in their drill. The following despatch from Kcenc, N. II., shows that ho has como to a sudden end: Kkrnk, N. II., July 20. Tho hugo ele phant. Albert, belonging to tho Bnrnum show, killed his keeper, James McCorralck, professionally known as - James Sweeney, nt Nashua, N. II., on July 18. Sweeney's body, Inclosed lit au elegant casket, wns shipped to his rclativos at Manchester. Tho entire Barnum company, headed by tho principal band playing appropriate airs, escorted the body to the depot nnd paid Hie last respects to their dead comrade, at six o'clock tills morning. The ceremony wns nn imposiug one and wns witnessed by many residents. During the afternoon performance of the circus Mr. James S. Hutchinson, one ot the circus managers, announced that ns the olcphant had taken human life he should be shot immediately after I lie performance and requested any members of the Kccr.e Light Guards who might be in the audience to report to their captain at the door of tho museum canvas. At 4:30 p. m. tho giant Albert, loaded with chains and preceded by the hend trainers, Arstingstall and New. man, marched forth from the menagerie, followed by thirty-three rillcmen and nearly all the members of the show. The proces sion crossed a long field and passed down into a long ravine near the river. Here the elephant was securely chained to the trunks of some lnrgc trees and Hit riflemen wero drawn up in lino fifteen paces from his head and side. At this stage of the proceedings the great animal seemed to in stinctively feel that something unusual was about to occur, for ho began to trumpet in a truly piteous manner. George Arstingstall, the trainer, drew a chalk line around the animal's heart and one around the brain ns targets for the sharp-shooters. The commands "ready, aim," were given. Arstingstall cried "Al bert," the monster raised his head in obe dience to the last cominnnd of his keeper aud ns tho word '"fire," accompanied by tho report of thirty-three military rlUcs rang out, the animal fell dead in his chains without a struggle or a cry. The execu tion was witnessed by fully 2,000 people, who gave a great shout ns the man-slayer fell. Albert was an Asiatic elephant and leader of the performing herd. Ho was next in size to Jumbo and has, until quite recently, been considered one of the safc cst of the herd. A telegram was sent to tho managers of the Smithsonian Institu tion Museum, Washington, by Messrs. Barnum, Bailey and Hutchinson donating tho remains to that institution. The au thorities answered immediately that they would send men to take charge, and thanked the donors for tho present. Albert had been with the Barnum show since Its consolidation with tho Loudon show, and had made a tour of tho world with tho lat ter institution and was valued at $10,000.

It is not considered good form in "lull do dah" Washington to talk about the weather, but with tho thermometer at 00 in the shade what elso is thcro to talk about, what other subject so worthy of complaint and objurgation? Fortunately for those engaged iu government work, tho public oftices nro clean, well ventilated nnd as cool aB they can be made. But iu spite of the diaphanous dresses of the female employees and tho fact that men discard all garments, not Insisted upon by civil and social laws, they perspire liko iron pud dlers. The President has learned for the first tlmo what Washington could do In the way of hot weather aud no doubt contrasted lust Sunday In the city with the previous Sunday which he sptnt at Wood Mont, on the upper Potomac I sec that some of the truly good Hcpub. lican papers arc greatly hurt because the President weut to Woodmont aud spent the Sabbath, like a bad boy, fishing. It will, no doubt, delight them to learn that tho President did nothing of the sort, but passed tho day like a gentleman aud n Christian and caught his fish on Monday When 1 first came to Washington, about thirteen years ago, 1 was one day in tho otllce of tho Chief of tho Bureau ot Navi gation and saw a stout looking middle- aged gentlemen to whom I was Introduced as Mr. lioach. Neither the uamo or the man Impressed me us noteworthy, but after ho had tuken ids leave, Commodore Am- men, tho then Chief ot tho Bureau, re marked: "that was Mr. John Uoacb. tho great ship builder." John Hoach's failure is tho most inter cstlng news of the day. It Is uot surprls ing in any respect. Ho has lived on Navy Department favoritism. It has been his cntlro stock iu trade. When it was with drawn ho had to full. A prominent ship builder who knows Koach well says that when Hobcson becamo Secretary of tho Navy in 09, Hoach was $800,000 iu debt. By tho constant friendly aid of Hobeson, who was by many persons believed to bo a partner in Houch's establishment, Hoach was cared for and enabled to coiitlnuo his ship building business. During Hobcsou's tlmo he practically controlled tho Navy department, and was given enormous ad vantages iu the purchase ot old materials and In making new contracts with the Gov ernment. When the new cruisers were ordered bv congress lurco year ugo, he. rolylnc as usual on omcial lavorltUm, rushed iu and contracted to build them a quarter of a million lest than what careful men thought would uo tueir actual cost. Such methods of doing builuess could only have one rc mi, una ma luuure occurred at tome later period it might havo been alleged to have been tho result of political hostility, As It Is now, It Is the result simply of uat urai cuttsei Tho Secretary of tho Navy Is In tho pros ence of a great opportunity, Iljliasbecn demonstrated that tho Government cannot build uaval vessels by contract. Mr. Whit ney can show that tho Government Is not dependent on contractors, by building war ships In the navy yards of tho United States of which there arc nine. Of course tho old rotten system ot run nlng the navy yards as parts of tho politi cal machlno must bo reformed. Tho sys. tern of having a top-heavy organization of foremen, and n few mechanics who "sol dlcr" over their work, and nppcnl to their congressmen If they nro discharged for protection, must bo reformed. The Bu reaus In tho Department which hnvo con nived nt tho fungus growth of abuses that havo mado every navy yard a leccli on tha public treasury must bo reformed. As soon ns navy yard work Is managed on business principles tho Navy Department can build ships nnd engines nnd fabricate ordinance cheaper than It can get the same articles by contract. It has a plant of great valno on which Interests and profits need not bo earned. It has a large num ber of highly educated officers who can do work for which every private ship builder must pay. When political inter fcrcncc Is stopped, it will cnnblo the navy yards to get the best mechanics. To nreue that the Government cannot build ships or guns Is to plead tho baby act and to admit thcro will bo no honest attempt to reform the abuses which havo destroyed the use fulness of tho nnvy yards.

Drop a line for sam ples and give us some notion as to the colors you like. Seersuckers ! Nothing is more in favor for hot-weather dress among ladies of taste: and the treble reason is they are pretty and cool they cost not much to begin with they are easily washed they are "ironed" by letting them hang in the wind and sun they are cooler than anything smooth the crinkles arc pretty as well as cool the roughness is part of the beauty. In short they are pretty, cool and inexpensive. We might have added a fourth they are tough as George Eliot says, 'stout enough to last a life time, lhese are reasons enough. Now, lady, do you know what these crinkles arc' Let us im agine you don't. We are talking to you who 11011 1. you nave a night-gown-yoke of puffing in sertion a stripe of smooth and a stripe of rough, That's crin kled seersucker.

You have seen the ca nary shaking his feathers after his bath, each leather on end, the penetrating air between that's crinkled seersucker. It's, very odd; but almost all the seersuckers, almost all, are here. 1 hey re very scarce. wnar. is ocuier yet, tney are cheap. What is oddest of all they are better than ever before, and prettier, airier. A seersucker dress or two why, do you know, one seer sucker isn't like another seer sucker. There's such variety in seersuckers. Take a two color seersucker, cream-and-ecru for instance, a puff and a ribbon, a puff and a ribbon, a puff ami a ribbon, and so on all over, Take a three-color seersucker, pink-and-ecru-and-bltie for instance there's your rainbow. Are they not in refrcshinjr contrast? 1 8 and 25 cents a yard; the 25-cent seersuckers have a bit of lace between puffing and color. The 18-ccnt resembles the original India seersucker. The 25-cent is entirely modem. We have a hundred styles of both. NorlhiMst from ttio center. John Vanamakf,u. Clieil nut, Thirteenth and Market streets, ami city-hall square. DEATHS. NHYHAKT.
