The Wilmington Wheel Club last even

about three miles OF road intervenes.

DEATH or DE-. SANDS.
The Eminent Anatomist Dies i'm Hi
Carriage


New YoRK, Nov. 19.--Dr. Henry B.
Sands, the well.known auatomist, died
from apopIexy In his carriage while on
his way home from profe ssional call in
Jersey City yesterday afternoon. BE was
So years old.
DR.. Sands was called in TO consult with
tie other physicians during Gen. Grants
Illness and was one of those who were
with him from the time he was first
called in on February 18th, 1885, until
Gen. Grants death. He also had charge
of Roscoe Oonhlipg's case after DR.. Ag-
new was taken sick and could not attend
to it, and on April 9th of this year he
performed the dangerous operation Of
trephining by the modern method. In
stead of boxing hole through the skull
with an auger'like instrument, section
of the bone was raised above the pus-sac
by means of ehisel and mallet. Or.
Fordyce Barker was associated with him
in this operation. The efforts of DIR.
Sands prolonged Mr.. ConEling's life and
it was thought at one time that ii would
be the means of saving him. It was thought
that if his recovery had depended on the
operation alone bis life would have been
greatly heightened. When DR.. Agnew
was taken Ill DR.. Sands attended him and
assisted in performing delicate and dan.
gerous surgical operation.

Sussex journal.
The saddest thing In connection with
the recent election is the corrupt use of
money. More votes were bought in the
country at large than at any previous
conficv. The thing next TO this in sad,
ness is the fact that great part Of this
corruption fulS came out Of the peoples
pockets In the form Of taxes that had
been paid to protected manufac-
turers The people thus paid the price
of their own corruption. Sadness begets
sadness and CORFU ption begets corruption.
The effect of oil this lavish use of money
at the polls will be felt in the lavish use
Of money by the Washington officials
whose elections were thus secured. The
people not oliy pay the tariff, but they
pay the men y that is used to conduct
and buy elections. Though we are sad,
we do not despair. The reins of govern
ment are still in the hand Of the people,
who hold them like veteran driver. Az
long rs the people know their power and,
knowing, dare maintain it, the country III
safe. The ineotEuptiole can still oItvote
the corruptible; and, il the necessity
arises, we believe that il will find the men
who prizs good government arrayed in
solid phalanx against the party whose
hope of power lies alone in the corrupt
use of money.
