Auother din-ppolntiumt was in store for the agent of the White Star Line this morning wbea the freight steamer Runic, one of the line's fleet, arrived from Liverpool 1th no news of the Naronlo. The Runlo sailed from Liverpool February 24. At that time the Naronlo was three days overdue, and the fact was cabled from here to 1 lverpool, so that the captain and officers of the Kunlo could keep a lookout for the big twin-screw freighter. After leaving Liverpool the utile' officers aud crews kept wsr.cn lor tue Narouic night aud dav ml in her search for the Naroulo the Ruuio also took a more southerly course than usual She saw nothing of the Naronlo although there was a rumor circulated on the floor of the Maritime Exchange that she had picked up a small life boat half full of water with the name Narouic painted on its bows. As steamships from various ports in Europe have arrived without having seen or heard auythiug of the Narouic shipping men began to consider disap pearance as oue of the maritime mysteries of the times.

The White Star agents are as much puzzled to account for; her mysterious disappearance as shipping men. I bey still nope however that she bs reached some port remote from civilzation and that the cable will vet flash tbe news that she is still above the waves. There is a remote possibility that either the Hocouic or the Pequa steamship overdue from Gilbraltar may bring some news of the Naronic, but not one ship ping man in ten has much faith in their having 'across her although they are certain that she has been driven or has drifted far out of her course to tbe southward, if the still floats. The Runic has stored on her after main deck two Pullman cars and a locomotive between decks from the London aud Northwestern railroad, for exhibition at Chicago. This locomotive, it is stated, is capable of making ninety miles an hoar.

At 10.4 Rev. A. N. Keigwin, pastor of West PresbyterianChurcb, standing at the bead or tbe front stairway, began an impressive service. He began his dis course by reading several lessons from tbe Bible upon sudden afflictions such as this.

It would be impossible, he said, to be a devout reader of God'a word and not feel tbat we were citizens of two cities. If we believe that Jesus died and rose again we also believe that he has gone to prepare a place for ns. 'Jesus, Lover of My Soul," Dr. Keigwin stated that Mr. Colton was a great lover of singing and especially loved to hear sung "Jesus, Lover of my Soul." The minister asked General Secretary King of the Y.

M. C. A and Mrs. King to lead in siugiDg that hymn. Many in tbe house were moved to tears by the pathet ic strains.

It is alwavs a puzzle to our minds, said the minister, "when a sorrow like this befalls a community and especially when a happy household has been afflicted as this one has. There is something irrepressibly sad in these funeral services of our beloved friend. Captain Colton. I think that there will be a monument in electric railroading in this city for this man, who seemed to be the leader in supplying or bringing about for the people this great home-developing enterprise. "A man who could live for others In the community, without an eye single to his own prosperity and self benefit.

His death is no common loss in this commu nity. in ere are things tnat mane a man perhaps more than those things which come before the public. His home was always a brighter and happier home when he was iu it. His smiling face and ringing voice were looked for as soon as be crosccd the threshold. With his great frankness it was remarkable to conceive how he passed through the sea of troubles and obstructions that are in the road of every successful business man," "Mr.

Colton. so far as I know, never made any confession of religion but I never knew a more religious man or stronger. advocate of the word of Uod. outside the church. I am certain that a continuous profession of faith is as strong aa any periodical pnbho confessions in many Instances.

Faults lie may nave had, nut thank God, I have never seen any of them. A friend of mine here to-day who knew Captain Colton for twenty-five years said to me tc-day that he never knew a more thorough gentleman. "These things make us feel that we have lost a great man. Not noted for great learning or high ae.com Dlishments in professional or business life, but a great) man as a citizen, as a neighbor, a true and trusted friend. After a fervent prayer by Dr.

Keigwin, lir. and Mrs. King sang "Sometime, Sometime, We'll Understand." After this the remains were borne to the Delaware avenue station, followed by a large cortege. The pall bearers were William Lawton Edmund Mitchell, George H. McCall, W.

G. Thomas, J. Parko Postles, J. Paul Lukens, Enoch Moore, John Jaooby, James H. Price, George W.

In defense of his position he said that since be went home he found that his constlt uents were not satisfied with the way in xuuu i ne resolution was disposed of. rberefore he wanted the matter opened agalu. Representative Saulaburv einressed his surprise at the action of the Sussex man.

ile thought the letter of the law authorizing the governor to appoint the coustables should be lived up to. It was tbat the Levy Court of New Castle county should pay the bill. Aa much as he would like to accede to tbe solicitations of his political friends, he could not consistently do so. itepreseutatlve Bryan said that he had learned to submit to the Inevitable.

McMullin has given notice of an act to exempt owners and tenants of property from certain liability under the law as It now stands. This bill does not interfere with tho time for killing game, but it pro poses to allow owners and tenants to dispose of game killed on their premises in any way they may see tit. Senator Records has in view a bill which, if it becomes a law will do away wun traiuo in partridges and rabbits, and make gunning in Ueiaware a source of sport and not oue of profit. He pro poses to nave me gunninir season open on November 1 and close on January 1 or 13, As the matter now stands the Maryland gunners shoot game in tbat state during tbe short season allowed them and then come into Delaware and gun until February. Speaking of the proposed bill, the genial senator from Laurel Bald "I want to abolish the traffic entirely, I do not want anybody to be allowed to Bboot game for the purpose of putting it on the market.

They ship rabbits and partridges from our place by the half barrel at a time. They were all killed at night and the man who goes gunning in the day time baa no sport. These men have a torch and dog aud goout at nigbt, The dog stands the birds and the torch blinds them. While they are there In the covey tbe night gunners shoot into them aud sometimes kill the entire covey. I didn't go out but once last fall I hunted half a day and never saw a bird.

They -had been killed up at night. There is no sport In it for any man who goes gunning for the sake of sport. I am opposed to any person being licensed to sell game killed in the state.

The record of tbe deed is defective in that it does not show that tbe seal of the notary public who took the acknowledgment of the Mont- gonierys had ever been affixed to the deed. All He Remembered. One of the well known electric railway lobbyists who was here yesterday was la Washington on Saturday to witness the Inauguration of President Cleveland, Speaking of the trip he said: "The last thing I remember in Washington Is tbat I waltzed into the middle of Pennsylvania avenue, put myself at tho head of some band and played drnm major, using my umbrella for a baton, A big policeTian ran out into the street, grabbed me by the collar, hauled me to tho wire rope and threw me over Into the crowd.

Farrow, brother of Lleuteuaut F. S. Farrow, the fouuder of thU plane, endeavoring to gala possession of the Pines hotel. His efforts are strongly opposed by the hotel people and It Is feared that there will he serious conflict between the tws interests before the matter is settled. On Saturday last, Farroir, who claims to own all the furniture in the hotel and who also holds the power of attorney from W.

Beecher, of New York, for a $13,000 mortgage on the hotel, attempted to gain possession by placing a number of men in cbarge of the engine room and shutting oil the supply of heat, light and water from the hffUBe. After a three hours' struggle between Farrow'a men and the lessees of the hotel Mid their friends, among whom were a number of boarders, possession as regained of the engine house and the intruders forced out at the point of a revolver held by George W. Ilolman, a guest at the hotel, who was asked by the lessees of the house to assist in putting Farrow's men out. Farrow threatens to gain possession of the house even if he has to employ a score of men and arm thorn to carry out his inatmc(iols. 'He proposes to begin action at 'once.

The lessees of the hotel, Messrs. Topping and Wilson have placed a state officer in charge of their engine room with instructions to shoot down any man who attempts to force an entrance. Both Wilson and Holman are armed and are determined to resist any attempt to oust them. While sir. Uolmau is guest of the hotel he is also there as representative of the Holland Trust Company, of New York, which holds a mortgage on the entire place.

The whole trouble appears to have grown out of a sale of the hotel property two weeks ago to satisfy a number of people who had liens against the building and which it is claimed wipes out Farrow's claim aud also the (13,100 mortgage held by him as attorney for Beecher. It appears that the title to the hotel is in litigation and that the sheriff had no antborlty to sell it. The sale had been stopped by an injunction secured by Farrow, but was subsequently set aside by tbe courts. The building was sold to W. Marsh of New York for $33,000, just (100 above the liens.

1 Marsh immediately had the sheriff's deed recorded and intends to take possesion of his property. Farrow claims that the sale was illegal and not sanctioned by the courts and for this reason will attempt to force an entrance so as to keep Marsh from taking possession. Farrow will also make an attempt to remove all the furniture from the house. He has certified bills of sales showing his ownership to the furniture. Lessees Topping and Wilson refuse to surrender to Farrow, saying that they now recognize Mr.

Marsh as sole owner. Mr. Holman recognizes Mr. Marsh's ownership and all say that they will present Farrow from gaining possession of the house if by so doing they are compelled to use force and arms. During the struggle ou Saturday to regain control of the engine room, Messrs.

Topping and Wilson had use force in rejecting the intruders. Yesterday the lessees were arrested charged with assault and battery. They gave bail for their appearance for the grand jury. Later in the day Landlord Wilson was again arrested upon a warrant charging him with keeping a disorderly house.
