Another Man Fails q Victim to o
Railroad Accident.

The p, w. & b. Railroad Company
are meet ng with unusual bad luck dur
ing the past few days. In having two
fatal and several minor accidents with
i'll short period. Yesterday afternoon
about o'clock another fatal accident
occurred along the railroad where it|
crosses Shipley run in the Western part
of the city. The unfortunate victim
was John Bramble, resident of Ches-
tertown. Md. and brakeman on the Kent
County Railroad. He came TO Will
mington on short visit, and was walk
ing down tho railroad track to the West
Yard, when engine No. "a, with no train
attached and bound down the Delaware
road, overlook HIM. Bramble was seen
by the engineer crossing the trestle
works over Shipley run, when the whis-
tie of the engine was blown in shrill
manner to warm him OF his danger, but
he appeared to take no notice OF t,as he
did not change his course and before
the engine could be stopped he was
struck, knocked down and run over.
AS soon as the engine was stopped
the unfortunate man was picked up,
when 1t was found that both of his legs
had been cut off above the knees, and
that the back of his head had been
badly injured. He was alive when
picked up, and was Immediately con.
veyed to the hospital at the depot for
treatment, but died in few minutes
after his arrival
Deceased was about % years Of age,
unmarried, but was the sole support of
a mother and sister, and his untimely
death will be great shock to them.
Soon after the accident station master
Gookin of this city telegraphed Super
intendent Fleming of the Kent County
Railroad, requesting him to break the
sad news to the unfortunate mans
mother, and consult her as towhat shall
be done with the remains, and tele-
graph back the result. In the mean
time the body was taken in charge by
undertaken Palmer and properly cared
for.
Coroner Smith summoned jury this
morning, who, after being duly sworn,
began their investigation by examining
q number of witnesses, all of whom tes-
titled to the facts about as given above.
In addition 1t was learned that the
young man was deaf, and as he did not
turn his head when the whistle was
blown, it is supposed that he did not
hear it, or was not aware of his impend-
ing danger, or he would have stepped
from the track.
The deceased was o nephew of George
NJ. Bramble, who resides on the Lati.
mer farm, near Delaware Junction, and
it is supposed that the young man WAS
on his way to visit his uncle when he
met his death. Up to 10 O'Clock no
word has been received from his rela-
tives. The body, how ever, will be prop
erly inclosed in coffin and sent to his
home tomorrow.
After hearing all the evidence the jury
rendered verdict TO the effect that
John Bramble came TO his death by be-
ing accidentally struck by engine No.
"a, on the p, W. u B. railroad. yester
day afternoon, where it crosses Shipley
run. No blame was attached to the
railroad.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, d. c.,
NV y, 1884.


The telegraph has told you of
the defeat of the Morrison tariff
bill, but it never has and never
will tell you of the many devices
that were resorted to in order to
crush out the sentiment in the
House in favor of general rednc-
tion of the public burdens. Here
was a bill that provided for taking
off some $70,000,000 Of our war
taxes at once, but Mr.. Randall and
his protection compatrlots knew
that such a boon as this for the
people would only be disaster to
the capitalistic nabob, and thus
it is that Randall has at last been
as good as his promise that he
would have the Morrison bill defea-
ted or not go home. There were
about forty Democrats at Randalrs
elbow in this business, some Of
whom were expected to approve
the bill upon principle, and for
local reasons, but the four members
from California who voted with
Mr.. Randall's side. and whose votes
slaughtered the bill and the hopes
of the Democratic party, went
square back upon their agreement
with Mr.. Morrison to stand by the
bill. l do not know that there can be
any chance with this Congress to
undo this great wrong, or avert the
terrible, blow that the defeat of the
Morrison bill has dealt to the hopes
of the party. There was a chance
for the party to make good record
for itself in this Congress, but rath-
er would these few men doom the
party than that pig iron interests
in Pennsylvania be permitted to be
meddled with. If from this time
out the Democrats in Congress will
harmonic upon the other impor-
tant measures that have yet got to
be acted upon, they may yet save

There isn't print Of his eloyen foot or

To be found in earth or air to-day, for

But who is it mixing the fatal draught,

And loads the bier Of each passing year
With ten hundred thousand slain?
Who bights the bloom of the land to-
day with the fiery breath OF hell,
If the devilin'nt and neverwa Won't.

Who dogs the steps of the toiling saint,
and digs the pits forhis feet2
Who sows the tares Ia the fields of

The devil is voted not to be, and Of
course, the thing is trne,
But who is. doing the kind of work the
deyilalonc should do?
We are told he does not go aboRt as a
roaring lion now;
But whom shall we hold responsible
forthe everlasting row
To be heard in home, in church and
State tothe earth S remotestbound,
If the devil, by q unanimous vote, is
nowhere to be: found?
Won't somebody step to the front
forthwith, and make their bow

The devil was fairly voted ont. and of

But simple people would like to know
