Run Over by the Cars.


A STRANGER LADY MoRTALLY WOUNDED ON THE r.
W. d b. r. R.-HER BODY BROUGHT ON TO THIS
CITY.
Last night, as the 1920 train from Baltimore,
which arrives here at 1.30 A. NJ, reached the 10
mile switch, this side of Baltimore, Il woman
was seen sitting upon the track, but before the
engine could be reversed and the train stopped,
she was run over, her leg being broken, and her
body otherwise mangled. There being no med
cal help or assistance of any kind near, it was
concluded best to bring the woman on to this
city, where medical assistance could be procured.
Soon after leaving Perryville, however, the
woman died. She was able to talk after the ac-
oident, and said that she had been in service at
Mr.. ONeill's, in Baltimore street, Baltimore,
and that her parents resided on the Hartford
road. She Mas apparently about 40 years of age,
and had the appearance of having been wan
derer. The railroad authorities here have tele-
graphed to Baltimore, and if any of her rela-
tions, or friends, can be heard from the body
will be shipped on to them.
coroners inquest was held, this afternoon,
at 2 o'clock, when verdict was rendered in ac-
cordance with the facts. The coroner delivered
the body over to the Railroad officers to be by
them sent to his friends, if any apply for it, and
if not, it will be decently inferred in the Will
mngton and Brandywine Cemetery, tomorrow.

PUBLIC REPORT
OF A POLICEMAN.

/ have not enjoyed good health for several years
past, yet have not allowed 1t to interfere with my
labor. Every one belonging to the laboring class
knows the inconvenience of being obliged to labor
when the body from debility, almost refuses to per-
form its daily task. never was believer in dos-
ing with medicines; but having heard the yEaETINE
spoken Of SO highly was determined to try it, and
shall never regret that determination. Az a toric
(Which every one needs at some time) it surpases
anything ever heard OF. 1t invigorates the whole
system 1t Is great cleanser and purifier of the
blood. There are many of my acquantances who
have taken It, and all unite in praise of Its satisfac
tory effect
Especially among the aged class of people, 1t i'm
narts to them the one thing most needful in old
age-nights Of calm. sweet repose, thereby
strengthening the mind as well as the body. One
aged lady, who has been suffering through life from
scrofula, and has become blind from its effects,
having tried many remedies with no favorable re-
suit, was induced by friends to try the YEdETINE.
After taking few bottles, she obtained such great
relief that she expressed wish for her sight, that
she might be able to look upon the man who had
sent her such a blessing.
Yours respectfully.

The secretary of the Treasury.

II
Some Of the GROWERS, astounded at
the activity of the Treasury Depart
ment, and chagrined at the success of
the movements made against the in
ternal evenu and customs frauds 10y
Secretary Bristow, are now disposed
to assert that the law has been vio-
lated, or that the proceedings taken
are 80 ''high toned'' as to threaten
greater evils than those they attempt
10 remedy. The wealth and infu-
nee of the whisky and smuggler
rings, east and west, will reiterate
the cry. 1t is a good n for their
purposes. But 1t may be as we'll to
consider some facts personal TO Secre-
tary Bristow himself, before running
TO a conclusion that he may have
done evil that good might come.
No lawyer in the United States has
probably a extended and
thorough knowledge Of our revenue
system, internal and external, than
Mr.. Bristow. We refer distinctly to
its working legal aspects, as to the
extent, etc, of the powers of the
government under the constitution
and laws. The reason for this is
very simple. Mr.. Bristow was for
several years U. s. District Attorney
in hat portion of Kentucky which
produces annually the largest amount
of whisky. He was credited with
being the most successful law officer
in connection with revenue cases.
When the Department of Justice was
to be organized, Mr.. Bristow was
made the first Solicitor General.
That functionary has charge OF all
revenue laws and cases arising under
them, whether internal or customs.
The Attorney-Genera is law advisor;
the SOLICITOR General is the prosecu-
tor in oil such cases. He prepares
and manages them. Mr.. Bristow
organized this Office. 1t was proba-
bly, this fact, combined with his high
character for integrity and firmpess,
which induced the President to call
him to the Treasury. 1t is not pro-
bable that a man so trained has, in
any essential particular, overstepped
the plain letter Of the law in the i'm
portant action recently taken.
