Daniel Is, Woodward, a bailiff Of the
United States Court, died Sunday morn
| ing about O'clock, at the residence of
his son, William Z. Woodward, No. 513
King street, in the 18th year of bis age.
The immediate cause of his death was
cancer at the base of his tongue, from
which he suffered very much for several
weeks prior TO his death. Some three or
four months ago he fell down stairs and
broke an arm, which accident, although
he recovered from its effects, tended to
enfeeble his constitution and render him
q more easy prey to the affection that
| finally carried him off.
| Daniel B. Woodward, or "Uncle
Danny" as he was more faIniliarly called
during the later years of his life, was born
in Philadelphia, on the 30th of September,
1911, but was brought TO Wilmington by
his parents when only yenr old, and
lived here from that time until his death.
His father was cooper, which trade he
learned and followed until 1919, when he
opened a saloon and restaurant in the
basement of the building adjoining
the Delaware House, opposite the
city hill. He remained there until
1868, when he took charge of
the Commercial House, on Water street,
near King, which he controlled for two
years. In 1870 he was nominated as the
Democratic candidate for coroner of New
Castle county, and was elected. He was
renominated in 1872, but the entire Dem
ocratic ticket was defeated in this county
that year. Shortly afterwards he was
appointed turnkey at the police station
by Mayor Simms, and continued in the
position under Mayors Whiteley and
Almond. Several months ago he was
appointed bailiff of the United States
court.
Mr.. Woodward was man of sterling
integrity, and enjoyed the confidence and
respect of host of friends. In work
entitled "Ten Years Among the Mail
Bags" written by mail agent, it is re-
lated that letter was once addressed to
him by gentleman in Philadelphia with
the following superscliption
81 want this letter to go right straight
To Wilmington city In Delaware State;
| To Daniel B. Woodward, q cooper by trade,
Who makes the best barrels that ever were
made"
In politics Mr.. Woodward was staunch
and consistent Democrat. His first vote
was cast for General Andrew jackson for
President in 1882, since which time he
never missed voting OF an election or
Democratic nomination until tho Demo-
cratic sheriffalty nomination of Saturday
week, when he was too ill to leave the
house, fact which caused him much
worriment. He was also a member of
years. standing of Delaware Lodge No. /,
1. o. o. ~. His funeral took place at 8
o'clock yesterday afternoon, from No. 513
King street, interment at Wilmington
i and BrandYWine cemetery.

THE b. C o. r.. a.
Examination OF Employees for Adj

mission 60 Membership.
Somewhat of commotion was caused
along the line of the Baltimore a. Phila-
delphia railroad last week by the appear
ance of special car, bearing the medical
examiners of the Baltimore IL Ohio EN-
ployes Relief Association. All the men
engaged in the construction of the road
were subjected to physical examination
and those who failed to come up to the
required physical grade, as well as those
who were over As years of age, were dis
charged from the company's employ.
The object of the examination was to
prepare the employees for admission into
the relief association, which all the en-
ployes of the b. & o. company except
those whose duties are in no way hazardous
are required to join. When the associa-
ton was organized, five years age, all the
company's employees were admitted, re-
CARELESS of age or physical condition,
but afterwards oil new employees were
subjected to the conditions of admission,
which are that the applicants shall be
physically sound and under As years of
age. The construction of the Baltimore
Il Philadelphia road passed under the
oontfoi Vi tho ID. AZ VI coinphH| Ou June
LIST, which made it obligatory upon the
hands engaged in the work of construc-
ton to Join the relief association. Hence
the examination that is now in progress
Some of the discharged employees, who
failed to come up to the requirements of
the association, complain bitterly of their
discharge. On behalf of the company, how
ever it is claimed that the association is a
great benefit to all the employees. Mem
bership carries with it benefits for widow
and family in care of death, weekly bene-
fits in case of sickness or accident, and the
privilege of eifecting loans for building
purposes at 6 per cent interest. In addi-
ton, the families of members are allowed
transportation over the road at half-fare,
and members who build Mt any
place along the line of the road can have
their building materials forwarded at
one-half the usual freight rates. The
last annual report shows receipts from
members for the year amounting to
$3.50, $50. GA; payment of benefits 10 NOM
bers amounting to 1921 SOB; and loans in
the savings fund and building feature
amounting to $3.50, 787.01. In the savings
fund there are 545 depositors, with
$217, 173.37 to their credit.
The examination of employees is still in
progress, and all new employees, whose
duties are in any way physically haz-
ardous will be required to pass the exam
nation and join the relief association be-
fore entering the company's employ.

Nebraska Crops FiOu,rish,ng.

CHICAGO, june 23.-A special dispatch
from Lincoln. Neb., says q gentleman
who has within few days past travelled
over much of southern and western
Nebraska brings the encouraging report
| that crops of every kind are in flourish
ing condition. The recent rains have heen
most beneficial, and the corn especially is
making fine progress. Though the plant
ing was late, the advancement is nearly
or quite up to that of last year, except
that the weeds are getting ahead of the
farmers. Small grain is also looking we'll
and has not been damaged by the rains to
any great extent. Fall wheat and rye ARE
nearly ready for cutting, and harvest will
begin in the near future. The hay crop
will be very abundant, and the cattle in
the western part of the state and eastern
Colorado will not suffer for lack of grass.
Altogether the crop prospect is as good as
for any previous year though the acreage
is probably less.

CHICAGO, June pa special from
Cairo, ILL.,, says A singular story hal
reached here from Clinton, Ky. II APP
pears that George O. Daniels of tina
place had been i'll for several months ant
last Wednesday, to all appearances died
The remains were put in a casket where
they remained for 20 hours awaiting the
arrival of relatives to attend the funeral.
At midnight Thursday the watchers who
surrounded the coffin were startled by @
deep sroan emanating from it, and all
but one, German named Wabbeking,
preeipitately rushed from the room. Wab-
beking remained, and as the groans con-
tinued. he raised the lid and saw that
Daniels was alive. Selling the body he
placed it upright. A few spasmodic gaps,
a shudder, and the corpse spoke aloud.
The relatives returned to find the man sit
ting in chair and conversing with rea-
sonable strength.
Daniels claims to have been perfectly
conscious of everything which passed
around him, but says he was unable to
move muscle. He heard the sobs of his
relatives when he was pronounced dead
by doctors, and noticed the prepare
ton for the funeral. He is about 80 years
of age.

Strawberries have entirely disappeared

her captain and mate from yellow fever.
Farmers in this section are cutting their

All The C,tY Factories Work ing with
ReOrganized FOrcess

khcOERttHlLeu EOICehs
From Every Evening of yesterday.
The morocco strike has become an old
story and there are hardly any changes
from day TO day. Still at the end of each
month as il rolls around difference can
be seen. There has been nothing done
in the way of negotiations since the Null
lin arrangement was made.
There appears to be no prospect OF
negotiations being resumed. The strikers
say that the manufacturers bound them
selves together by heavy bonds, in March
last, not to surrender TO the demands mol
to take individual action until July LIST.
Another statement that has circulated
is that they have since renewed theii
bond to hold until January LIST. each con,
Germ pledging itself at the peril of for.
felt of $4,000 in case it breaks the
agreement.
A manufacturer stated this morning
that each morocco factory in the city has
from 20 to 60 men at work. Some Of
these were taken on as green hands, some
are morocco men from elsewhere, and
some were strikers.
Every concern is at work about ~
busily as it cares to be, considering the
state of the market.
By the statement that the factories are
working it is meant that skins are beinf
regularly put into lime and worked ouI
to finished morocco. This manufactures
expresses the belief that the strike viii
gradually melt away.

Rebuilding a will.

Operations have been begun looking to
the rebuilding of the burned mill of the
Arlington Mills Manufacturing Company,
in the Ninth ward. 1t will cover the
same ground as the old mill, the dimen.
sions being 120X50.6 but will be only two
stories high, which is one story less than
the former mill. The first floor will be
divided into three rooms, to be used as
carpenter, roller and machine shop. The
second floor will be entirely devoted to
cotton spinning. The new mill will be
finished in about eight weeks. No in-
crease in the working force is expected,
but with added facilities some of the
hands who are now doing night work will
be emploYed only during the day.

BLooMMaToN, ILL.,, June 20.-stA poin
has been reached in the illness Of ex-Vice
President David Davis, ''said his physicians
to-day, "when it is thought best by his
family to give the public a statement Of
the great gravity of his condition" Mr..
Davis is very i'll indeed, and twill be but
little less than q miracle if he should
rally. Judge Davis is believed by his
friends to be slowly but surely sinking to
death. He was taken ill with carbuncle
on his shoulder at Chicago, May I'd. Up
to two weeks ago his condition, though al
times alarming, seemed to be one OF
gradual improvement. Two weeks ago
severe eryBipelas set in and is growing
worse. For some weeks his sufferings
have been intensified and complicated by
Bright's disease. Several Chicago doctors
have been summoned, and consultation
will be held tomorrow.
CHICAGO, June 2l.-A special from
Bloomington, Ill.,, says The family and
physician of ex-Vice- President David
Davis have concluded that his end is APP.
preaching; Mt least, that he has very little
chance of recovery. They determined to
give this information to the public, be-
lieving il to be no longer proper TO con-
ceal his true condition.
When Mr.. Davis was attacked by the
carbuncle on the shoulder about May LIST
he was already reduced by diabetes. No
sooner did the carbuncle improve two
weeks ago, than malignant erysipelas set
in so that he is now suffering from COM
plication of disorders.
He is very weak and cannot read the
newspapers. Visitors are not allowed to
see him. A consultation of his family
physician and medical men from Chicago
will be held to-day.
There was no improvement yesterday

A sneak Thief.

A carpenter by the name of Whitney
was caught Tuesday in the theft Of
tools from the carpenter shop of William
Brierley, on Fourth street near West. He
took compass and sold it at a junk
shop on Shipley street, but was followed
by MIR. Brierley, who recovered his prop
erty by catching Whitney and making
him return the money he had got to the
junk dealer. Mr.. Brierley thinks Whitney
has stolen other tools from his shop but
has not yet made thorough search. II
is probable that if the sneak thief is not
outside of the town within "a hours he
will meet with arrest and imminent dan
ger of having his back whipped. Whitney
had been loafng about the shop for
several days and said he had been work
ing for considerable time at Delaware
