Halifax, N. S. July 21.—The Amer- ican burkentine Herbert Fuller, which sailed from Boston a few days ago, for Rosario, Buenos Avres, arrived iw Halifax barbor this morning with the three bodies of three murdered people on board. The balance of those who left Boston on the vessel were immedi-} The ~ ately clapped into prison cells. three dead persons, whose murder is ev- idently the result ot a bloodly outbreak on the part of some members of the crew, are Captain Nash, his wife and Second Mate Brumberg. The _horri- ble tripple murder occurred on the night of the 13th, and the affair so far igs Wrapped in complete mystery, nof- withstanding that there were seven other men on board at the time it oc- curred, besides a passenger Monk, whose story of what he could learn atter it was all over is the only narrative, reliable or unreliable as it can be aecerteined so far. Monck has been closeted with the police authori- ties ever since the arrival of the vessel. named The crew were brought ashore and the surviving officer and men of the ship are locked behind bars in three different section of the police station. A halt dozen policeman guard’ them while Monck is unaccessible’ until the chiet of the police and Detective Pow- ers have finished with him, Monck seems to have taken charge of the vessel after the tragedy and by his orders the bodies were placed in one of the boats covered with tarpaul- ins and the boat towed astern into Hal- itax harbor. ‘There the coroner’s jury took charge of the remains which were so far advanced in decomposition that it was almost impossible to remove them from the boats. Monck’s story is that he knew noth- ing of the tragedy until notified of it next morning by the first mate. He admits that he heard a scream during the night, but it did not disturb him enough to wake him up, although his cabin was next to chat in which the murders vere committed. The weapon used was an axe. ‘Lhe crew protess the same ignorance that overwhelms Monck, of waen, how and by whom the murders were committed. Pilot White boarde1 the boatoff Sam bro at 6 o'clock this morning and found Monck and the colored steward, Joshua Spence, in charge. Monck told the pilot that he had place the first mate named Bram, in irons, and that -he and the steward took charge. Monck 1s | helped out by the chapter and verse as well dressed and of gentlemanly bear- ing. nian and is a member of the Harvard sophomore class. Owing toill health he was sent on this voyage to recuper- ate. It is now believed that the motive for the crime was robbery, as_ the eap- | tainand Monck had coasiderable men- ey with them. ram, who was at the wheel at the time of the murder, has, it is under- derstood, made a ctatement that he saw, through a pane of glass in the cabin, the captain being struck with an axe or club, and that he has given the po- lice the name of the party who held the weapon. The police refuse to di- vulge the name. HOW THEY FIXED HIM.

St se AGREATSURPRISE—NEW YORE The town talk is the remarkable surprise that the New York Worid eceived and gave in answer to its cir- ula1 letter of inquiry to the democrat- county chairman in New York state. It made three inquiries in the letter as follows: 1. Will the democracy in your coun- ty support the Chicago platform and nominees ¢ ; 2, Vo you favor a third ticket for gold! 3. What percentage of loss will the democracy sustain in supperting the Chicage platform and candidates ? We have not the World by us, but these, we think, correctly represent the points of inquiry. The answers have been published in the World, and all or nearly all are fall of encouragement for the democra- cy. They give to the first inquiry an empiiatic yes. To the second an em- phstic no. To the third that they will gain more silver republicans than they will lose gold democrats. Tammany will stand by the ticket. fully awake, fully aroused, and will not wear collars or yokes any longer. ‘The puliticians who stand in the way of this vast uprising of a long suffering but determined people will -be swep -out of the way as chaffis swept away by the mighty tempest. The storm of the people hasf begun to move. Op. position is useless. The will of the people this year may be nearer the voice of God than ever before.

Mysterious Disappearance of a Young Lady. Chestertown, Md., July 21 —On Monday last Miss Lillian M. Lorat, a bright and pretty young woman, aged 20 years, daughter ot John Lorah, a prosperous farmer of Deleware, near the Kent county (Md.,) line, disap- peared from home, causing great anxie ty in the minds ot her friends and neighbors. It was feared that she was murdered and searching parties were organized who hunted everywhere for her without success, except in finding a torn glove which she had worn and a parcel which she had carried. Her disappearance was not known until Tuesday and the excitement conuinued until Saturday, when the anxiety was only partly relieved by tke receipt from her of a letter giving the assur- ance that she was alive, but no clue as to her whereabouts. The letter was mailed on the Wash. ington and New York express. It was addressed in lead pencil to Mrs. J. Lorah, Clayton, Del. and was as fol- lows : “My Dear Parents,. Brother and Sister: I suppose you think Iam dead or murdered, but I am alive. I am al- lowed to write this much to you. I} was captured that nignt along the road, but I am not allowed to tell how or who by ; it I do, they will kill me. I am not allowed to go out of the place I don’t know where I am myself; they tell me I can come back soon. I don’t know why it is all this suffering is put on me. I think it will be useless for you to try to find me and spending Take in the meaning of all this. Here is a great'state the very centre of the money power.

An interesting account of the way in which young children are prepar- ed to enter the Camorra is given by Dr. de Blasio, a Neapo}jtan physi- ciun who has been studying the hab- its of criminals. The Camorra at Naples, like the Mafia. in Sicily, is an organization of criminals and as- sociates of criminals that is centu- ries old. The Camorra begins its -work with the infants who are abandoned by their parents, or whe are lent out to the impostors who beg in the streets of Naples. These children, for the most part those of persons in prison, are taught to beg for the end of a cigar or a soldo and infest the cafes. In winter they sleep in holes and stables, in sum. mer on the church steps, under arch- ways or on the benches in the public gardens. When they are 6 or 7 years old, they are instructed in begging and thieving by older children. At 1¢ years of age the little Camorrista, or little thief, becomes a cantatore fsinger). Ho must know how’ to improvise a gong to the girls and reply with an extemporaneous vers¢ to the verse cf a companion or of an antagonist. In Naples there arc fwoarmies of cantatori—one belong- ing to the streets in the older part of the city and ono ¢o those of the They constitute the nco- phites of the Camorra and compete in public, passing their examinations by night in the streets. They choose for the subject of their chants any- thing that takes place in the city, and very often the object of derisive songs is an old man or a poor idiot. The better class hear these scofis, but do not interfere and often iaugh at the wit which is scarcely ever missing. The two bands aro nat- urally great rivals, and once a year at least they defy each other to 6 series of battles in which stonos arc the weapons, and at the close of the fray knives too often come into play. This practice of battles with stones among the boys can be traced back as far as 1625, for at that period the Duke of Alva caused 30 ‘‘stone throwers”’ to be arrested in Naples. The warcry of the boys is ‘‘Aniella, aniella!’’ the derivation of which is not certain. After the warcry comes the challenge in the form of a verse, to which the enemy responds like. wise. Then the young boys commence the attack. The passersby flee, but atno great distanee stand old and young men, who-incite the rival bands and if necessary rescue one 07 the other of them from an arrest b3 the police. Two years ago ther¢ was a famous battle of this kind in Piazza Mercato, which ended in 2 fight between the police and th¢ stone throwers, during which ths trams were stuppced for some time. This ducl ceases at the first drawing of blood. A slight scratch receiver by ono of the members of the twe parties puts an end to the battle. The wounded boy is surrounded by his friends and taken to his mother, real or adopted, to he bound up and nursed, The songs sung by the boys have always a chorus, and generally there are two soloists, who sing a verso in turn, which is ended by a retrain sung by the chorus, a mere “Ab, oh! Ah, oh!’ In poetical form these youths express the knowledge they have of the wors: eviis and vices of human life, but the verses are realistic and without the least gleam of sentiment. —Leon. don News. Steve Brodie’s Ideals. Answering a question asked by a Chicago paper, Steve Brodie replied: “If I had $250,000,000, the first thing I would do would be to build a home for the newsboys in every large city in the United States; also a home for working girls, a Keeley cure for drunkards, a workingman’s library in every city; have the Chi. cago river water washed; have the end of South Clark street fenced in, so they could all be by themselves; pay some of your Chicago aldermen money enough to retire, so that they could never be candidates again; give what money is lacking: to keep the streets clean; pay an honest man to see that the appropriations are put where they belong, and last, but not least, buy the street I. so dearly love,-for my own use, the - Max O'Rell declares, that “the pa- tienceof the America public is sim- ply angelical, notBing tort of that.” Hé says that we get no courtesy from: the people we pay because we expect none, ODD NAMES AND OLD ONES, — What Parents Are Responsible For Le fie lecting Names For Tots. Molly, Polly, Annie, Maggie, Peg- gie, Nancy and Nan ars a6 mfigh in vogue today as in the olden time, and in all probability will continue to be given as Christian names to baby girls for all time. We do not find Frenchwomen tak ing their ancestors to task for be. stowing upon them ungainly names, for the taste of the French in names is proverbial. There is no Peggie in the French tongue. When they tired of Mary, they changed it te the sweet name Marie. Ann became Annette, sprightly and bright. Some parents refuse to give first names to thetr children, preferring that the children themselves should choose their own names. It is often a positive handicap to a man of parts to have an ineuphonious name. In many cases ignorant parents have gone wrong in their selection of names for their offspring, and more than once a girl baby has been called | ‘ Jezebel and a boy baby Ananiag. | The Rev. James B. Walely, a Meth. odist minister, who preached many years in New York, told, with great enjoyment, of a sping mother who took her baby to the font in the church to be christened. When the worthy divine took the child in his arms, preparatory to christening it, he asked the lisping mother what he should name it. The parent re plied ‘‘Luci’thir.’’ Indignantly the minister remarked: “Lucifer! Lucifer! Never willl came a child that.’’ Then he con- tinued, as he sprinkled the water upon the brow of the girl baby “George Washington, I baptize thee,’’ etc., and the girl was there. after so called. It is a fact that fashion in namet changes in cyclos of less than a cen- tury. At present there seems to be a tendency towarfd odd names. Some of tke popular ones are Dorothy, Rhoda, Edna and Angeline. Ada is quite common, and Almira comes down, it would appear, from tbe country towns to adorn city beau ties. Agatha, Viola, Maude, Jessie, Olga, Odette, Olive, Inez, Isabel, Hortense, Rosalind, Beatrice, Nao. mi, Mignon, Mildred, Lilian, Leo- nora, Kathleen, Ida, Estelle, Ger- trude, Gladys, Grace, Genevieve, Gabriella, Henrietta, Edith, Felice, Fedora, Frederica, Eunice, Florence, Eloisa, Emeline, Eleanor, Elsie, Effio, Doris, Eveleen, Cora, Cynthia, Cloe, Cordelia, Beulah, Bertha, Blanche, Ruth, Veronica, are among the hundress of uncommonly odd names, chosen not only for their oddness, but for their euphonious- ness as well, while their meaning adds interest to them and makes the burdyn of their weight an easy load | to carry. A mother sometimes delights in perpetuating the name of her grand. mother, who bore the name of her grcat-grandinother, and thus these very old names descend by the choice of the parent. Ann nowadays sounds harsh, and Betsy seems com. mon. Betsy comes to be Bessie and Ann Annie, and an instance is known of Mindwell having the audacity to call herself Minnie. Jerusha has printed on her visiting cards Jex- nie, and Mehitable loves to hear her- self styled Hitty.—New York World, sme toe Burial Alive. Burial alive is by no‘means so un- common as we like to believe. Un- der the present laws of Great Brit- ain no sworn certificate of death is required. A physician must declara what he believes to have been the cause of the death of a patient, but the fact of death need not be certi- fied, nor so much as ascertained. In Germany all supposed corpses are either inspected several times by a local official or sent to a mortuary, where signs of life may be watched for. Authorities agree that decom. position is the only infallible sign of death, and urge delay in burial when there is room for doubt. ‘‘As a Ger. man,”’ writes one gentleman, ‘'] should be afraid to die in England (excuse the paradox) for fear of be. ing buried alive.’’—London Tit-Bite Of what consequence is ft that anything should be concealed from man?
