took the child with her; consequently, the
farmhouse was left to DAILY and his ugly
looking employee There was no one else
in the neighborhood for long distance, and
what kind Of a time master and servant had
on the farm during those few dull weeks
when the biting cold winds that blew over
the country kept the most hardy indoors no
one will ever know, 1t was especially try
ing weather during that period and visitors
We're scarce Whether the men quarreed
Wilson alone can tell-whether the murder
was done in the heat of passion or whether
it was the result of bad blood, bred of long
disagreement. One week in the middle of
January, 1884, the few people happening
near the farm became aware of the fact that
Wilson was its only tenant. To some of
them he said that DAILY was away in Phila-
delphia. Wilson drove abo-t the place in
his masters sleigh, covering his legs with
handsome buffalo robe. The next day he
drove the two COWS and the three or four
pigs on the place to market and sold them.
The last that had heen seen of DAILY was on
Sunday. On the next Friday the barn
was found abaze. The neighboring farmers
rallied to the rescue and just managed to
save the house, which was only slightly
touched by the flames. Wilson disappeared
from that day and DAILY was never seen a.
gain.
Now comes the most wonderful part of
the story. Daly's relatives decided that
Wilson had mui dered Anthony. OF that
they never had the slightest question. They
talked of it among them selves and always
regarded it as an actual fact. The police of
Jenkntown, Abingdon and surrounding
places knew every circumstance but they
appeared to have been thoroughly negligent.
Beyond going few miles in search of
Wilson, they, it is said, never did anything
to proclaim the commission of a foul murder.
The newspapers were not informed and the
Philadelphia police were not. The most a.
mazing inactivity governed the proceedings.
1t was agreed by some of the police that all
remains of DAILY had been burned up in the
barn. They appear to have been ignorant Of
the fact that no conaagration short of that
ofa fifteen-story hotel will wipe away every
trace of human body and that, even under
such circumstances, the consumption of the
trunk is rare.
Some of Daly's friends suggested that he
had gone West to buy cattle and been
drowned in the floods that then prevailed.
Nothing happened to ease their minds or to
let them know the worst. When the Wis
sahickon mystery broke upon the public by
the finding of the mutilated trunk some of
them thought that the murder brought to
light might have been that of Anthony, but
this thought was very much weakened and
their fervor diluted by the conviction that
fire had already done the work of destruc
tion. But they went to the Morgue and saw
the remains, which they failed to recognize.
The Wilmingtonian., 1885-10-10

The police, it is said, were not insJ,msd OF
their slight suspicion of the body . identity.
DISCOVERING NEW clues.
Some light was given to them latt S5pteml.
ber. One of the Days saw Wilson in Phila.
delphia, hurried after him, but was too late
to capture him. He was in time, however,
to discover the place where he had been
staying, and then the fact was brought out
that be had pawned Anthony Days gold
watch. This was regarded as the most con-
vincing proof yet.
All the Dalys believe Wilson'S story. It
is certainly likely that he might have taken
the body in sleigh to the Wissahickon.
He certainly had sleigh snd the Wissahick-
on was the nearest water course. It is three
miles from the Daily farm. If taken from
there in direct line and thrown In at the
nearest point it, in all probability would
have been picked up just where it was. In
fact, the place where it was taken ont is al
most the part of the river nearest to the
farm, so it is not necessary that It should
have drifted at all. At the time of year the
barn was burned the work of digging a
grave for the body would have been some
thing like drilling into rock. No detailed
description Of Anthony DAILY has been given,
but it is stated that he had red hair, was
stoop-shouldered and tall. The Wissahiok..
on corpse was reconciled to the descripti. n
of Frederick Stahl with difficulty on ac-
count of the fact that there was red hair ON
the chest. The remains were those of a
man stoop-shouldered and tall. Both men
seem to have had good teeth Soon after
Days disappearance his wife died, her
death no doubt being hastened by the rli-
mors of her husbands horrible fate. The
farm is now unoccupied and is offered for
sale.
Adolph Scbeuringer, the friend of the
other missing man, still insists that the
Wissahickon body was Stahl's, as also does
the mans brother. Detective Houser.
whose theory was the same, is dowr.cast
over the confession. Charles Albert Dict
erie, the man who was accused, is, however
jubilanT. If Wilson's story is proved true
the disappearance of Frederick Stabl re-
mains as great mystery as ever, SO that in
any case tile confession will only solve
portion of the problem

and very glad to find themselves
again in France. Flowers, branches,

upon them; their arms were deco

eagles, battered by the balls at Sc

Iouaves, the lancers, the hussars, the
grenadiers, the gendarmes, aud the
artillery of the Guard, each division
preceded by its wounded men. They
were certainly pleased with the re-
eepuon which was made for them.
Never did the crowd show more
