The deceased was born in Maine and
was married, having a wife and one

ially OF the physicians in attendance that
ne had no idea of committing suicide,
but being Of nervous disposition, aud
somewhat troubled in mind, he pur-
chased the laudanum for the buoying up
OF his spirits. Not knowing the dose,
he drank too much of the fatal drug, land

about, DR.. Springer is ofthe opinion that
the dose would not have proven fatal.

before the Coroner's jury, that the laud-
annm was not the direct cause of his
death, but that death was caused direct

adduced showed no new facts in the

Another Accident on the Raa.


J. Morris Long, conductor OF freight
train op. tho W. Il. N. Il. r., met with
4 very serious accident about half-past
two O'Clock on Monday af ernoon, while
making coupling. Just west Of the
W. q. N. r. r. passenger depot, at
Coatesville, is q culvert about two feet
wide, and over this culvert Mr.. Long
made the couplins, and in doing so he
stood on the rail. A wheel Of the NOV
ing porting Of the train ran upon his foot,
and he threw his body back TO save bis
life, which would have been lost had he
not done so. The wheel passed up his
foot and up the left leg TO about four or
five inches below the knee, terribly
laceratIng the fieshy part, breaking the
bone Of the fore part clear of, the end Of
which protruded through the lacerated
flesh. The bones of the heel were also
injured, and the general impression was
that the leg would require imputation
below the knee. Mr.. Long was taken
to the home of his mother. in West
Coatesville. His physician, DIR. H. K.
Williams, being in attendance, relieved
the sufferer as far as possible.
Later in the day DIR. Williams called
TO his assistance DIR. Pratt Of Coatesyiile,
and DIR. Hopes of Downingtown. Afser
a careful examination, the physicians re-
ported that they could reduce the fIac-
ture and save the injured limb. MIR.

Skin Grating.
A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL OPERATION BY A

A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL OPERATION BY
WILMINGTON PHYSICIAN.
About three months ago, MIR. Gerson
l.. Kahn, of this city, sustai ned severe
burn on his thigh, which left sore and
rasty scar. AS a means OF reducing the
extent Of this scar and assisting the
burn to completely heal, DR.. George T..
Maxwell resorted TO the operation
known as skin-grafting. He took ON
his own arm several smai pieces of
ska, laid them carefully upon the
burned surface of Mr.. Kahn's thigh
and lot nature do the rest. From time
10 time he called on his patient and
found the operation working beauti
fully, the skin taking good hold and
spreading nicely in all directions. Yes
terday Mr.. Kahn came to Wilmington,
after brief sojourn in Philadelphia,
aud DR.. Maxwell, on calling upon him,
found that the grating process had been
"a complete success, the skin having
grown almost entirely over the burn.
Several years ago DIR. Maxwell per-
negro, who had been shot IN the cheek,
the wound leaving a nasty, dishguring
scar The d ctor took skin from bis
own arm and from the arm of his pa
tIent, and applied IL to the wound. 1t
spread beautifully, apd In a short time
the scar was entirely covered by growth
of skin. For awhile the white pieces OF
skin used III the grating process showed
forth distinctly, and for time 1t was
uncertain whether the patient would
become a white man or remain spotted
negro. Finally the veins began to ira
verse the patches OF white skin, and
soon they became as dark as the rest of
the mans face, thus proving that the
n. gro's dark color Is due to his blood
and not to the natural condition of his
skin. DIR. Maxwell reported this case
in detail to lea1ing medical journal,
from which 10 fouBd its way into the
ne wspapers. and was widely published

MR. TIBBLEs GIVES ANOTHER RECITAL
OF THE INDIANS WRONGS.
Mr., Tibbles and "Bright Eyes, ap-
peared at West Presbyterian church,
last night, the former made a spirited
address depicting the wrongs and out
RACES to which, in his opinion, the In
dians had been subjected. Mr.. Tibbles
paid his respects to Indian agents, and
also alluded to the fact that the Gov
ernment insisted on having all official
intercourse with the Indians conducted
through the medium of interpreters
These interpreters are generally ap-
pointed by the agents, whose tools
they are, and generally they are the
meanest and most degraded of men.
The speaker spoke at length in re-
gard to the Indian agents, and accord
ing to his statement the transactions
of the agents with the Indians are a
se.ies of continued rascalities. They
cheat the red man In every conceivable
manner, and use every ingenuity to
enrich themselves at his expense. They
starve the Indians upon their reserva-
tions and make war upon them if they
go outside of the limits to hunt for
food. One instance was mentioned
where the Cheyennes and Arraphoes
on reservation were dying by scores
from marlarial fever, and the Indian
Commissioner, after oceans of plead.
ings, ordered the purchase of five
ounces ofquinine, though the suffering
Indians were five Thousand in number.
Mr.. Tibbles denounced the whole
Indian system of the Government, and
contended that it would never be i'm.
proved until the Indian was clothed
with the rights of citizenship and pro-
tected in these rights.
'Bright Eyes" followed Mr.. Tibbles
and spoke of the Indian schools and
the efforts being made to impart
knowledge to the Indian children. Be
ing rather unwell her remarks were
brief.
A collection was taken up at the
close of the meeting. To-day Mr.. Tib-
bles and "Bright Eyes" will 60 to
Baltimore, and after speaking for the
cause in that city will return to their

CHARLOTTE THoMP SON IN "JANE
EYRE" AT THE OPERA HOUSE LAST
NIGHT.
Miss Charlotte Thompson again de-
lighted her Wilmington admirers last
night, with her rendition of that most
popular and enduring of domestic
dramas, "Jane Eyre" Founded or. "a
novel of rare interest and pathos, the
drama has retained all the thrilling
situations and absorbing influences of
the original production. For faith
full portrayal of human emotions and
passions "Jane Eyre" stands unsur-
passed among the masterpieces of the
dramatic world, and it has held its
own on the stage for years, always
maintaining a strong and even hold up
on the affections of the the theatre-go-
ing public.
In the title role of this popular
drama Miss Thompson stands far above
any other member of the profession
that ever essayed this difficult, but
even attractive character. She has
made it creation distinctly her own,
and has way of portraying the trials
of the poor orphan girl, and the sub
sequent career of the more favored
governess in a manner that enlists the
hearty sympathy of her audience and
holds it steadfast to the end. Last
nights performance was no exception
to this rule, and the play went on even
ly and smoothly to the end, while the
admiring audience vigorously applaud
ed from time to time.
Tonight Miss Thompson will ap-
pear in EAST Lynne" another popu-
lar emotional drama, and one of the
standard attractions of the stage. In
the dual character of Lady Isabel and
Madame Vine, she has now no equal in
this country and all who wish to see a
thorough presentation of this great
drama should go tonight. Miss
Thompson is supported by first-class
company and the performance, there
fore, cannot fail of proving satisfactory
in every respect.
THE THURsBY CONCERT.
The reserved seats for Miss Emma
