Fatal ran IN a sh,p-yarc.

In Roach's ship-yard, Chester, about
G O'Clock Tuesday evening week, says the
Chester Netcs, W. Frank Cutler, ms-
chipist, was standing on the deck Of the
ship Yumuri, preparing to quit work, and
conSersing with three of his fellow work
men. he was near the gsping hollow Of
the hold and suddenlg t,rned round
from them STUN oled slightly in the dark,
as II making Iaisstep, and before his
horror-8tricken mates could catch their
bReaths he shot down with terrific force,
striking his neck and causing instsntane-
Gus death. His rem1ins were taken up
and removed first to his boarding place,
on Second street, at the home of his aunt,
Mr.. Stockley, and later on to Moore's
station, to the residence of his parents.
George L. Cutler, the brother Of the de-
ceased, made the rather serious charge
of negligence on the part Of the ship
building company as being partly the
cause of this ls.nentabie accident. He
said: 81 have found out that at the Will
mington yards and al Cramps all unfn-
ished vessels such as the Yumuri are
lighted with lamps or electricity, but
this was net the case on the boat my
brother lost his life. / also understand
that provision is always made to have
the lower hold covered, but it was not
SO in this instance; with the result my
BROTHER fell about 2S feet instead OF 10
feet, whioh might have given him Q
chance for his life any way. II is an
awful affair and it ssems TO me neglect iS
shown somewhere" Additional 5sdness
is impaired to the affair by the fact that
the deceased was to have been married
on Thanksgiving eve to Miss Maggie
McKeowen of South Chester who is COM
pletely prostrated by the cruel shock.

H. Victor Cause, son of j. Taylor
Cause, IVES painfully though not seriously
hurt by being thrown from his horse
about O'clock yesterday week. He
was riding horseback, and on his return
had entered the yard surrounding his
residence when his horse slipped OH the

knees throwing MIR. Cause headforemost
out of the saddle. He slighted on hard
gravel walk with his facs down aud was
rendered unconscious. His foot caught
in the stirrup, and Lis weigh. pulled the
saddle underneath, when the Rirth
broke fortunately just as the animal
made dash forward. lEaac
E. Lenaarman and Watson B. Lender

to the injured mans assistance and helped
him into his house, where DR.. Peter
Cooper rendered medical aid. 1t waa
fully half hour before MIR. Cause re-
gained consciousness, and he was very
weak from the loss of blood. He sus-
tained gash over the right eye, and his

sPIRET LANDS.

Vicar-generAi H.yons' Address Hse-
fore the Shields Library AshOcia-
ton.
Vicsr general Lyons made an extremely
Interesting address Thursday night before
the members OF the Shisids Library
Association. His subject was the attiao-
tive enc of esprit Lands" Following
some notics of the general diffldenoe
With which the subject is usually sp-
preached ne said TINT superstition has
invaded this land and woven its ghoulish
fancies into blood curdling stories OF
midnight incidents, graveyards and
skeletons until religion and skepticism
alike condemns and ridicules the stories
and the story tellers. These stories and
the absurd ideas arising from them have
made some Intelligent people reject the
whole aubiect of spiritual existence and
credit to the forces of the physical uni
verse phenomena which clearly belong TO
the influence and power of the inhabi-
tsnts Of spirit lands. This skepticism
has gone go far as to reject the belief in
the existence Of God and to deny the
authority of the church. These ere the
worst fruits OF superstition and irreligion.
The speaker asserted that the spirit
world ia not fer away. Mankind hes been
intimately associated with it from the be-
ginning. The spirit world is fir t, just ss
God, who is spirit, was before and
created man. Angels are spirits. It is
useless to deny the existence of spirits.
The phenomena of ancient and modern
spiritualism presents facts that cannot be
accounted for except by belief in good
and bad spirits. We are taught that God
gives his good angels charge over us. Our
good angel follows us all through our
iyes--is always by our 81 lie 10 encourage,
protect and help us. Let us, therefore,
pray to them and obey them as the mes.
sengers of God and our protectors and
guides,

A man named John hacOsrter OF
Philadelphia, dropped dead near Carr
croft, on the B. & o. railroad, Thursday.
de was msn OF about so years of age and
employed as clerk in a brush factory.
Nothing else could be ssoertainsd. He
had been visiting family named Dixon,
who live on farm in the neighhcrhood,
and in company with several male MEM
bers of ths family ne started cut yester-
dny morning 20 huut rabbits. During the
excitement of the chase the party became
separated, md when inquiry was made
for MaeOarter aud he could not be found
search was instituted. He was found ly-
ing at the edge OF the woods i'll which
they hsd bssn hunting, dead. Death had
evidently been caased by heart disease,
as no marks were found on the body.
Deputy Coroner Barnhill gave cer.iti-
cato, after which the body was sent to
relatives in Philadelphia.

makes it capable OF doing. The assem-
blage, he said in concluding, was an
essentially representative body. 1t fairly
represented the lsymen OF Delaware.
Judge Grubb said the laity intensely
sympsthize with the clergy and desire 10
do all they can to uphold the hands of
the leaders OF the faith while the battle
is being fought aud won before tue sun
goes down. He believed that religion is
right and that it is q strong and effectuel
force. The doctrines taught by Christ
are the best code for the government OF
man that ever existed.
Bishop Coleman alluded to the deeds
of kindness of Mr.. Swift and in introduce
ing him sRid he was recent accession to
the church and will probably become a
member OF the club. Mr. Swift expressed
thanks for the clubs kindness aud said
he hoped to see the members frequently
in the future.
Mr. Henry said it afforded him great
pleasure to be present and that he had
baen charmed with the splendid words of
encouragement to the bishop and the
clergy. The church never had done
greHter work than it is doing now. Not
only in the church Catholic, but in other
churches the work is eppaiing. He spoke
of the valGe OF the value OF tho laity to
the clsrgy and regretted that every cler-
gyman in the diocese was not present If
they had been prevent they would have
gone home feeling that the chusch in this
diocese is very much alive.
General Postles said it was the first
social meeting of the club that he had
attended. He had recently become q
momber of tie club and of the church.
Es closed by asying that the prosperity
OF the church dspsnds in o great measure
on the ASST tancs of the laity.
DR.. Buck said it is matter of con-
graduation that we have one such eff
cient organization.
The happy occasion ended at midnight
after Bishop Coleman had pronounced
the benediction.
