coUNoMMAN oUINN,s TRIP.
How He Got on the Wrong Train, Go
Put on and Nearly Ost His Life.


Councilman William II. Quinn and other
lu1rmtlrt9 of tho bauip Committee OF ulrv
City Fathers, went 20 Philadelphia on Sat
urday evening to investigate the workings
ui the Automatic Light Company, which
had made proposals. to do certain work ioi
the city. The business over, the party in.
lulyed In little pleasure and finally
wended their way TO Broad street station to
catch late train home again.
Quinn procured his ticket and started for
the train. At the gate leading through the
iron fence the guardian there punched the
pasteboard held by the Councilman with the
regulation VIII and the holder passed
through. s'This train for Wilmingto" -
greeted his ear and following, as he de
clares, the sound of the trainman's voice
and going in the direction indicated 10y a
np of the officials thumb, Quinn Chamber,
luto car and settled down Tor nap.
He at once settled into duze and was
dreaming that the city of Wilmington had
| built q market house covering ten blocks,
into which the farmers were driven, wagons
| and all that the railroad companies iu this
city had erected safety gates 40 feet high
| at every street crossing; that all telephone
and telegraph polls on the side walks had
been removed by order of the city solicitor,
aud that Levi Garrett had invited him tn
open prayer meeting on Christmas night,
when he was rudely brought back to real liie
| by an exclamation from the conductor:
This is not your train, eir; you are on thr
way to West Chester" With that the train
| stopped ut small station and the Council
| man stepped off into the darkness. He
l0und himself among multitude of tracks,
with Locomotives plying hther aud thither
| like numerous eQpets out for lark.
Becoming fearful lest he might he caught
unawarrs and htrewn upon the cross-ties Ia
| little bits, he made "a jump and landed in a
small ditch, just as ali engine went shrek
| lug past With yell Of warning.
Upon straight ening himself out he began
u long o. d weary tramp. At last he espied
little station house IN the distance, which
after much exeriion was reached. There he
louud he would have to wait some time for
u Wilmington train, and was ut once con-
| soled by Chicago drummer, who had alsu
| been put of tram, and was waiting 10 get
back tu Philadelphia.
AS misery loves company and fellow
| feeling makes us wondrOus kind, Quinn and
| the drummer struck up q conyivial friend
| ship and passed the lime agrveably untii
fate aud their respective trains caused Uhem
| 10 separate. In course OF time he arrived
home cold, tired and sleepy and VOW
| ing vengeance on the railroad men
who shipped him on to the wrong
train. Where he went or how he got
| home he declares he does not know, but is
determined hereafter TO ark every official he
eses whether he is on the right train, and to
| get written voucher to that elect before
| he starts for home out of the bewldering
Broad street station. MIR. Quinn will bring
| suit.

for Boston.


NEw YoRK, Dee. 3.---The manner OF Mrs.
Langtry's departure from this city, to-day.
was the very reverse, in one respect, of her
arrival here. Her 6rst appearance was
marked by desire, carefully i0stered by her
astute manager, to attract publicity. Ar
rangements were made to wavlay her---so IN
speak--down the bay, and she had hardly
time TO open her eyes IN tue early morning
before she was called upon to express her
opinions, or lack of opinions, as to this coun-
try and its ways, and, like shrewd business
woman, she was equal to the occasion. In
deIuarsing, to-day she seems to have deter
mined to have her own way. While ci"wd
hung around the private entrance Of
the Altemarle Hotel, on Twenty-iourth
street she quietly went down stairs and
through the main entrance on Broadway.
aud walked up Filth avenue to the Grand
Central depot. A carriage ordered for her
r, mained standing on Twenty fourth street
and served TO stay the curiosity OF the crowd
Tor awhile. When the populace, who wanted
to get q free stare at Mrs. Langtry, found
they had been sold, they expressed the deep
est disgust IN the meanwhile the object OF
their attentions had left for Boston on q
special train with Mr.. and Mrs. Henry E.
Abbey. Lawrence Barrett, who opens in
Boston tomorrow evening, was a passenger
on the same train.
The TACT that Mrs. Labouchere did not
accompany the PARTY gave force to the story
that the two had quarrelled. Mrs. Labou
chere, however, denied the truth of thu
report; so did her maid, and to crown all
this hotel employees said the leave-takiup
between the ladies was of the most
aifrctionste character. Mrs. Labouchert
will leave for Washington tomorrow morn.

Tho Cases Held D"ring His Term
Economy NJ the Now Law.
[Sunday Star.

Through the kindness Of DIR. Ogle the Cor
oner's physician, THE STAR has been fur
nlshed with some interesting facts In con-
nection with the work of the retiring
Coroner, Rayworth Weldin, during his
term, covering the past two years. During
that time the total number Of deaths inves-
tlgsted was 205, and of this pumber rs were
cases IN which 1t was deemed necessary to
summon q jury. The remaining 220 cases
were unimpOrtant ones, In which the Cora
ner simply took statements and gave a
certificate or gave certificate after exalnin-
tion by his physician. The largest number
OF cases of Importance were deaths by
drowning, and these number AZ. or these
1f were drowned IN the ChristIana, 10 In the
Btandywine, 8 IN the Delaware River, 4 In
Delaware and Chesapeake Canal, 3 in the
Shelpot and one in the Appoquinmink.
Next In number In the class OF important
cases come accidents on the railroads,
which foot up 23 all told---an unusually
large plumber by the way. Seven suicldes
were investigated during the two years.
There were 8 cases Of homicide or suspect ted
homicide, and the other causes ot death
were as follows Broken neck, 3 frozen to
death, g: killed 10y dug, 1 ; run over Ivy q
land roller, killed in rolling mill, 1 !;
sulo,hered to death In an oven, l smoth-
cred to death In a -four mill, {; died IN Jail.
l died in the city cells, burned to death,
2; run over by cart, L.
1t will re surprising, no doubt, to learn
that the total cost OF Mr.. Wrldin's term has
been but $40 so or about $11.56 for each
ease. This, however, 1t should be remem-
bered takes in everything, including the
salary of the Coroner and Of his physician.
the construction OF the morgue and the ex-
penses Of disnterring the body of the mur-
dered Carpenter girl and making a post
mo,tem examination Of her body. 1t will
be more surprising, however, when q com
par son is made of the expenses of the Office
under the new law with those under the old
| law. Under the law In operation previous
| to Mr.. Weldn coming into Office the average
| cost of each case was between $35 and S36.
Then an inquest was necessary in every case,
| and the Coroner got his fee, the doctor got
his fee and each OF l2 jurymen got fee, all
Of which tended to swell the expenses. The
| new law has worked very well and mas
saved the county several thousand dollars
| each year.
The salary of the Cororer and his physi-
clan, however, is very small for the import
ant duty they are called upon to perform,
| and All increase In their pay would not out
| step the bounds OF economy contemplated
| by the present law.

old church to the chapel, but for the ten
months he had taken part in 407 public
services, 10S of them in the old church; 10l
papiisnls; 20 confirmed; 67 celebrations OF
