She Was Carrying Dynamite to the Brasilian Rebels. The excitement created at Rio Janeiro harbor by the action of United States Ad- miral Benham a few days ago, in firing upon one of the insurgent Admiral Da Gama’s warships in order to teach the revelutionists the lesson that they must not wantonly bombard vessels carrying the stars and stripes, had not died out when a fresh sensation was created on Friday by the summary seizure of a British tug by order of Peixoto. The boat captured by Peixoto’s men is the tug Cardiff, the property of an English coal company. She sailed from Cardiff November 22, touched St. Vincent Novem- ber 24, and arrived at Rio some days ago. She was loaded with coal, which she prompily proceeded to discharge and has since remained in the harbor. Of late the movements aboard her have been of a mystefious character, and the actions of the crew aroused suspicion cf the Brazilian oflicials. Shortly after she left the wharf at which she had been load- ing with a cargo about which her men were reticent, she was overhauled by one cf Peixoto’s boats and commanded to stop. With some reluctance her captain obeyed the order,and the Brazilian officiais prompt- ly went aboard and, despite the vigorous Dyptests: of her captain, a few moments ‘ch showed the Brazilians that their suspicions were well fouaded. The Caraiit had stored beneath her decks a quantity of dynamite sufficient to have played a great deal of havoc with the government forts and other strongholds. The Cardiff, it was then learned, was tak- ing the dynamite to the insurgents’ war- ship Trajanao, which is lying just outside the entrance to the bay. Informing her captajn that he had been detected in the act of smuggling the ex- plosive aboard a vessel belonging to the enemies of the government, the Brazilian officials compelled him to return to the wharf, where the dynamite was taken ashore and put in possession of those loyal to Peixoto. Excitement at Rio. The news spread rapidly throughout the city and became known on board of the warships in the harbor. The matter was reported by the captain of the Cardiff to the British officials, but nothing has so far been done, except the cabling of the cap- tain’s statement and of Peixoto’s reasons for making this seizure to the home govern- ment. The action of Great Britain over tlis in- | cident is awaited with a good deal of in- terest and anxiety. The English residents at Rio are disposed, to condemn Retxoto and to grow indignant over what.they term the il treatment of the Cardiff's captain; but in all other quarters Peixoto is consid- ered to have been fully justified in doing as he did. Outside of the’ English colony, Great Brit- ain’s pretense about observing the neutral- one /ity between the belligerents receives little credence and people cannot imagine how she will be able to explain so violent a breach of faith with Peixoto. coo KILLED BY OFFICERS. Blood Shed Over South Carolina’s Dispensary Law. At the cornoner’s inquest at Wilford, S. C., yesterday, on the killing of Crawford Ballew Saturday night by state constables, two disinterested witnesses, Messrs. Babb and Gregory, testified that it was a cold- biooded murder. Just prior to the fatal shooting of Ballew,Perry Moore,his brother- in-law, was wounded by the constables. Ballew and Moore were recent comers in the neighborhood from Greenville county. ‘They were farmers living on the farm of Captain J. M. Benson, about two miles from Wilford. Saturday night, according to the testimony at the coroner's inquest, one of the governor's spotters came to Ballew’s house pretending to be drunk, and asked him to show him the way to the rail- read. Moore got his lantern and showed the way. When they reached the railroad, Chief Consiable Fant and Deputy Sheriff Dean, with a posse of six constables,halted Moore, who, not understanding what was up, broke and ran. The constables say he fired as he ran. The two witnesses referred to say the officers fired first, wounding Moore in the leg. The wounded man’s cries brought his brother-in-law, Ballew, out of the house. He carried Moore into the cotton field, and then to quiet the women left him on the ground ard ran toward his house. He was intercepted by Chief Fant, Deputy Boyce Dean and several others, who ordered him to stop. Mrs. Ballew called to the officers not to shoot. She was answered by the crack of a Winchester and Ballew fell to the ground dead. The constables declared that they had warrants for both Ballew and Moore for violating the state liquor law and that both men offered resistance. They say they met Ballew in the field. He had two pistols and they covered him with their weapons and ordered him to throw down his pistols. He refused and Constable Vassie shot him. It is alleged that an attempt was made to pack the coroner's jury. The jury con- sisted mainly of supporters of the gov- ernor. As it was originally drawn the father and cousin of Boyce Dean were members of it. After a discussion they were | removed. ‘The jury was finally impaneled and with a few exceptions consisted of Tillman men. It did not render a verdict, but adjourned until today to get the aon of Vassie. No warrants were shown. The victins were not told of a warrant. There was a warrant for the father of the wounded man, who surrendered and gave bond. — -*ee—--__ Wilson Addresses Yorkers.

So far as known no one ever obtained a together of the two fair professors All About a Padding. In The Star of January 24, in a report of Miss Johnson's talk at the Convention Hall exposition, appeared the following recipe for “Montrose pudding:” Montrose Padding. Scald one cup of cream; beat the yolks of three eggs very light, with half a cup of granulated sugar; add to the scalded cream and stir and cook for one minute, or until it thickens, Take from the fire; add one cup of cold cream, one teaspoonful of vanilla, and stand away to cool; freeze; take from the freezer; line an ice cream bowl with the mixture; fill the center with an orange water ice; take the remainder of the frozen cream and put it over the top. Put on the cover of the mold and pack in salt and ice for two hours before serving. The Star has received from an attorney, acting for Mrs. yey letter calling atten- inclosing a copy of the recipe for “Montrose " from a cook book @d- ited and published by Mrs. Rorer, known as i i g I z ii! bee HORRY uae j frozen, pack mold, or bomb, leaving a well in the center.

If this be true 1 have not even touched upon the borders of a copyright even while using a recipe called Montrose pudding, not by Mrs. Rorer alone, but by |numbers of cooks and cooking teachers, who may not even have ever seen ner cook book.” Miss Johnson adds that tne | | recipe was known before Mrs. Korer’s pub- |lcation came into use, and appeared im publications in existence before Airs.

Housekeepers may benefit by pick- ing up an odd hint or two, revealing some secrets of their art, while these two ma- gicians of the rolling pin wage royal battle, PHILADELPHIA, January 31, 1894. Editor of The Washington Star, Dear Sir—Mrs. 8. T. Rorer, who is deliver- ing lectures at the pure food exposition, W. L. 1. armory, Washington, D. C., forwards te me a clipping from your paper of Jan- uary in which you report Miss Johnson's talks at the Convention Hall exposition. Mrs. Rorer has edited and published a cook book known as The Philadelphia Cook Book. On page 409 of her book, she gives a recipe for Montrose Pudding, which I have had type-written, and inclose here- with. I have also had type-written the re- port which you published of Miss Johnson's Montrose Pudding. By looking over the two, you will see that they are practically identical, except being divided in half. Mrs. Rorer has been at great trouble and ex- pense in getting up her recipes, and they are her stock-in-irade, and extremely val- uable, and in order to protect herself she has had them copyrighted. It is not necessary to state in ‘this con- nection what action we propose taking against Miss Johnson. So far as you are concerned, we respectfully ask that you give such credit to Mrs. Rorer as is her due under the circumstances. This might be done by publishing the two recipes side by side, or by making « correction, and stating that the recipé published as Miss Jonnson’s, was, in fact, Mrs. Rorer’s. Trusting that you will make this amend for an error into which you were unwit- tngly drawn, I am, urs respectfully, CARROLL R. W: oe Omaba’s Saturday Night Fire.
