"When tun vessel did not make the turn at the buoy," he continued, "I signaled her again. My signals wore about three minutes anart. Ia reply to my secoud signal I got one blast of the whistle.

Philadelphia, June 16. Captain Howard, of tho schooner Edward W. Young, nt this port from Providence, reports that while near the capes of the Delaware, May 84. he slshted and followed a large two masted schooner for several hours aud then observed that she was blown to pieces apparently by some explosive on board of her. Owing to the prevalence of light winds Captain Howard could not get up with the unfortunate vessel to see whether any of tho crew escaped.

A man en the schooner Young wbo witnessed the affair says both vessels were proceeding slowly under nearly full canvas, when all of a sudden a noise was heard preceded by a burst of black smoke and followed by a flash of flame, apparently out of the malu hatchway. In a few seconds the spars and sails were burning aud It was not long before the trim schooner was transformed Into an unsightly smoking hulk. Tho observer was of the opinion that all on board perished. Inquiry In maritime circles falls to develop what vessel the unfortunate one could bave been, ns none has cleared lately southward with explosives on board. The schooner may have been from some Canadian port that has not yet been heard from on the subject.

Twb Brooklyn Bills that Are Thoroughly The Wallabout Measure Fell Into Bad Hands.

Withheld Is the Martyrs' Monqpent Plan. The Sundry Civil Service Appropriations, Special to the Eagle. Washington, June 16. The chances of Brooklyn bills passing both Bosses of Congress this year have become exceed, ingly small, and are daily growlug beautifully Indeed It is safe assert what has been reasonable evideuc for some mouths, that no vote at all will be taken on any measure of exclusively local interest during the remaluder of the session. The two bills In which many Brooklynites have been' actively interested are thoroughly dead.

The most Important of these was the flrst to succumb. It bus been a veteran in past Congresses; it was a familiar acquaintance of most of the elder members, yet none ot them mourn its demise. It has so frequently dropped out of legislative slghtin past years given up for dead that everyone has become accustomed to its reappearance and subsequent disappearance. It goes by the name of the Wallabout bill, authorizing the Government to sell part of the Navy Yard to the City of Brooklyn for use as a market. This year It, cot' lulo bail hands as soon as it came to the surface.

The Naval Officers Committee of the Houe turned it over to Congressman MeAdoo, of Jersey City, and this upright young ma suspected there was what is called a "bone" secreted iu the substance of the measure. Ee did not take the ground that he would prove there was a scheme present, but he placed upon the friends of the bill tbe harden of proof that it was boneless. Up to the present time tbey have not succeeded in doing this. Tbe bill was introduced In bad shape, two or three paragraphs of the former bill were resurrected, and in this mutilated and meaningless shape it was hurried into the House for the purpose of gettlug it in early, so that the committee would place it high on the calendar. At the Instance of the committee the bill was sent to Secretary Whitney for his approval, and as be found that only part of ft was present, he has sent for the other paragraphs.

Tbe Brooklyn marketmen tried to have the omissions fllled according to their Ideas, which were that they should pirchase the ground. Mayor Chapln wanted them fllled by making the city the purchaser. Finally the home people compromised and It was dselded that the market should become tbe property of tbe city. Secretary Whitney sent a Commission of naval officers to report upon the ground needed for the Navy Yard, and their report, made two months ago, caused him te decide that the city should not be allowed to buy the property it desired. That settled the Wallabout bill, for the is unanimous against roporting it back to the House.

Bnt tbia is not all. The marketmea are to be driven oil the Wallabout lands along Washington avenue, now leased from the government. This may not be done immediately, but it is inevitable. A few days ago, when a number of naval officers were before the committee testifying to the needs naval hospitals while the Naval Appropriation bill was under consideration, they proved te the committee that the hospital in Brooklyn needed the Wallabout laud now occupied by the; market. They gave it as their opinion that the market was not a sanitary Improvement to the present hospital, and the sooner it was abolished the better for Uncle Sam's sick sailors.

The other totally defunct measure i3 the Martyrs' Honumeut plan. It started its race through Congress in excellout shape, backed by hundreds ot petitions and a voluminous report. It asked for 1 100,000. In a preliminary skirmish at "a night session half of this amount was cut' off, and the lrlonds of the bill withdrew It. It has been withdrawn in the House ever since.

But it was introduced in duplicate in the Senate to expedite matters, and a few weeks ago be Senate Committees authorized its chairman, General Hawley, to report tbe bill favorably with amendments. The most striking of these was the reduction of tbe appropriation to $10,000. (general Hawley has not made the report yet He says the friends of the measure have asked him to withhold it. So he withholds it. This is a more euphonious oxpressibu than the whole truth would sound if told in plain English.

The late 8enator, William Maxillary Evarts, has astonished the Capitol by appearing in the corridors end chamber draped in a close fitting tailor made suit of steel gray cheviot and resplendent in a gray high hat, set jauntily on one side of his head. He looks 75 years younger than he did last Winter, but says he will spend the Summer at his farm in Vermont, and will probably make no speeches during the campaign. There exists a belief that none of the candidates have asked him to speak. On bandana bandkerchiofs made wholly or in part of silk, where silk is the chief component, there is a 50 per cent, ad valorem duty which will help toswell the surplus in the Treasury during the coming campaign. The Mills bill proposes no change in thin schedule, but a good many Democrats think bandauas ought to be admitted free until election day.

At either side of tbe rear silver bar arf miniature croppy pikes, while the back of the body Is ornamented with rich carvings of the harp and Bhatri rock. The workmanship throughout Is ot the high est order. The order for this wonderful vehicle was executed through Consul Piatt, at Queens town, at the factory of John O'Callaghan, of Cork.

Llndsey MuBe, the venerable colored messenger of the Secretary of the Navy, died on Thursday, after sixty years' continuous service in the same position and the same office. He was about 21 years old wheu Samuel L. Southard, of New Jersey, John Qulucy Adams' II aval Secretary, appointed turn. He has held the place under tweu tyseven Secretaries. For continuity of service, with no promotion, this is a bard record to beat.

Mr. Randall's Appropriation Committee has been hard at work foe several days on tbe Sundry Civil bill endeavoring to get the measure in shape to pass the House while the Republicans are at Chicago. For this reason the members have not appeared on the floor or in their seats since Monday, so closely have' they been confined to the committee room. One of tbe members said to day: "If Felix Campbell should take It into his bead to retire from Cougress, I know of no man who Weuld be more mlssod by Mr. Randall," Tbe member when asked if he bad nay intimation that Mr.

Campbell was going to retire, and if not, what caused him to make such a statement, replied: "No, I have not heard that he does not intend to come back, altheugh 1 understand bis business is such as to necessitate his being in New York at least ouce a week, and I know he does go over every Friday. I was Just repeating what Mr. Randall said to day about Mr. Campbell's value to the Appropriation Committee. In the bill under discuasloa Mr.

Campbell proposed an item ot 119,000 for three new boilers for operating the machinery In the Capitol. Ho showed that the four boilers now lu use were over thirty years old, were dangerous and should bo replaced at ouce. He showed that by the substitution of new boilers of Improved design they would save their, whole cost in fuel alone in three years. Be bad inserted another Item which proves that It 1b well to have a practical man This was to spend $8,000 on a duplicate set of boilers and engine for the Government Printing Office. The office has bad one ancient boiler and an old fashioned wasteful engine, costing $2,000, for twelve or fifteen year and on this power plant and lis successful operatio the office has been dependent Should a break doVu occur, and several have happened lately, It coss about $10,000 for every day's delay.

By the expenditure of $3,000, saved in fine day, an economical ''substitute provided. These are two instances which certainly explain Mr. Randall's remarks. Mr. Campbell's suggestions calling attention to the deplorable power facilities in the Government has attracted the attention of department officials to all boilers and engines, with the resultof eliciting facts which show that nearly all ot them axe In an extremely dangerous condition.

The And Then He Shot Himself in the Head, Barkeeper Plater's Attempt to Commit Suicide, Be Said His Wife Was Unfaithful and She Resented the Insult A YYooiisbnrg Tragedy. Special to the Eagle. WuODSBUROH. L. June 16.

After twenty two years' of married life John Mortimer Slater, driven to desperation by tbe belief that his wife was unfaithful to him, shot himself this morning in bis wretched little lodging room. scarcely a stone's throw from the comfortable home in which Mrs. Slater is iustalled as housekeeper, and where she is living with her two younger children. Tho probabilities are that Slater will ale, but If by chance he should live he will carry with bim to bis grave a mournful reminder of this morning's tragedy, far the doctors believe that bis eyesight Is gone forever. Slater was an easy going fellow who was on the best of terras with everyone except his own wife.

He comes of Brooklyn stock and his aged mother, Mrs. Sarah Slater, lives at 229 Walworth street, that city, when not visiting friends in Greenwich, Conn. The would bs suicide when in his prime had a host convivial friends and was a heavy drinker. He found his bank account at an end and his pockets empty long before his popularity was in the slightest degree imr paired and he decided to utilize bis friends by becoming a swell bartender, and as such he drew custom to some of the most fashionable resorts in the city. Drinking habits, however, hurt him behind the bar, Jest as they hai injured him elsewhere, and be soon found it difficult to obtain employment In town.

Then he came out on Long Island and was popular at Far Rockaway and other resorts. Lost Summer he came te Woods burgh. He was then 50 years old and bore some of tbe marks of a lifetime spent in dissipation, but witb his sandy, brlstlinz hair, fierce, red mustache, bright, laughing eyes and courtly manners be still looked almost youug and at times dashing. Ho obtained employment at this place in a large corner tavern, barbor shop and general assembly room, kuown as Washington Hall, and owned by Theraas Fiuucan. Mrs.

Slater at the same time became Ffuucan's housekeeper, and her two youuger children went to Washington Hall to live with her, the two elder children, oue'a boy of 19, remaining in tbe city. Slater's bibulous habits resulted as usual, and he was soon discharged. Then he circulated a story to the effect that he was persecuted because his wife preferred Flnucan'a society to that of her husband, and the village gossips took the scandal up. Whother the story was true or not. Slater absolutely believed it, and he became a monomaniac on the topic.

His wire refused to leave Flnuean's house. She said abe had good employment there and that she was not going to throw away an opportunity to support herself and children to follow the fortune of a good natured but worthless drunkard. Slater hai not drank much of late, but his belief in bis wife's perfidy seemed te bave turned his brain. Behind the bar he was tho same active, smiling, courteous fellow that he always was. A few weeks ago he secured employment uot far from his old quarters iu Washington Hall and slept In a room In a large boardiug house adjoining the saloon.

Tills morning he arose at 7 o'clock, shaved himself In the barroom and started out for a walk toward Howlett's Station. He visited several persons, talked cheerfully with them and finally stepped at tbe open window in front of Flnuean's house, where his wife and children lived. His wife appeared at the window. There was a short conversation, then Mrs. Slater's stalwart right arm was stretched out of tho window and her husband received a ringing box on the ear.

After this demoustratlon Mrs. Slater withdrew from the window and her husband crossed the street accempatited by 030 ot bis children who had been playing entslde of the bouse. Entering Jacket's drug store, he bought the little fellow some candy. He told Mr. Jackal that his wife had struck blm and talked freely of bis troubles.

Then he went to the barroom wuere ho was employed, secretly put a revolver in bis pocket, went to his room, sat on the bed and fired two shots. The flrst seems to have missed the mark, the second, fired with surer aim, glanced along the right temporal bone, effecting the sight of tho right eye as it passed aud lodgad either somewhere in the upper part of the nose or just back of the left eye. Dr. Hariwell was first summoned, and soon after him came Coroner Cronln and Dr. Caldwell, the post mortem examiner.

Slater was then totally blind and was still rolling en tbe floor in terrible agony. "I den't want to live," he moaned, for my wife Is faithless. She bit me with her fist this morning and then tried to strike me with a washboard. I thought of killing myself for half an hour before I fired a shot. The flrst shot I know did not hit me, but I meant business when 1 fired again." Mrs.

Slater, a mntrouly looking woman of mature years, seemod subdued but not Over shocked by the occurrence. "I slapped my husband's face tbls morning," she said, 11 because he used to me language that any decent woman would resent. He has no right to make the charges against me that he did. I had to support myself and children as a housekeeper, be cause of late years 1 coula not depend ou blm. After I slapped him I returned to nty work and thought no more of him uutll I heard he had shot himself.

I am sorry he is dying, but It is drink and not I tbat has brought him to his end." VYhiBky drinking was at the bottom of his terrible suspicious. It was said this afternoon that Slater could not recover. going to china for his wife. Washinoton, D. June 16.

Mr. Hip Lung, a Chinese merchant of Chicago, recently informed the Secretary of State that ho proposed making a visit to China and bringing back with him his wife, who has never been lu this country. He asked for Information on the subject. His letter was referred to the Secretary of tbe Treasury, who has informed bim tbat while there will be no legal objection to his re entry inte the United States, bis wife will not bo permitted to land except upon the production of the certltloate'frora the Chinose Govoriimeut required by soction 6 ot tho Actof July 5, 1884.
