A Guarded Murderer May StarVe.
Associated Press Dispetcn by Special Wiren.


ArwooD, ILL.,, July 7.-Twenty-tiy
men under the lead of the sheriff stood
guard around the home of Henry Wild
man last night. There had been so much
talk during the day of lynching that the
strong guard was deemed a wise move in
the interest of law and order. Last night
the news was given out that Wildman
was sinking fast anyhow and the mob
would be only cutting death out of job
MS Wildman himself would welcome
death in almost any form. This
morning he was refreshed after
fair nights rest and asked
for slate and pencil. Sorry, very
sorry" were the first words he wrote, re-
ferring to the murder of his wife. He is
willing and anxious to die and begged his
nurse to give him a pistol in the stand
drawer and let him finish the job. The
wounded man has been unable to take
nourishment since he cut his throat.
Water given him to drink runs out of the
wound. Unless matters mend he will
literally starve to death, for but little
stimulant can be given to him by Injection.

strange Case Of strangulat,on.

A remarkable case OF accidental death
occurred Monday afternoon near Avon
dale, In Chester county. A colored woman
named Thomas, who lives In the tenant
house on the farm formerly owned by
James Wilson, went out about O'Clock yes
terday afternoon with basket TO pick
cherries. Shedid not return at supper time,
and when search was made for her she was
found hanging from the tree, dead From
appearances 1t seems that she must have
slipped while In the tree and In falling, her
neck was caught in the crotch formed by
Two limbs, the force of the fall wedging the
deck so tightly between the limbs that the
body hung there as from rope. The fall
must have stunned her or she could pro-
badly have released herself from the POSI-
ton. But being stunned she quietly
strangled to death.

MILFoRD, June 30.-The merry ring of
the carpenters tools is seldom heard in
town now, the principal work being done
by them is in the country. Two of our
ship-yards are in operation, and Abbott's
are building steamer. The principal
work seems to be that of hauling clay and
gravel and raising the marsh at the corner
of Railroad and Church avenues.
Our schools are all closed. The North
Milford school closed last Friday and the
others week ago.
The clerks of Messrs. Holland & Hall

Patriotic and brilliant addresses were
made by A. p. Robinson, James II. Pen

to the dampness and heaviness of the
atmosphere, did not show to such good
effect as they should, although they were
fine. The dwellings and hotels were very
tastefully decorated. The committee of
arrangements is to be complimented for
energy and perseverance. There was
nothing to mar the pleasures of the day.
The weather being warm did not retard
the interest in the church services yester-
day. 1t being communion at the Presby-
