Special Officer William Mcbride OF tho D.
4 o. railroad, when he went to work ye ster-
day morning about 8 O'Clock found the dead

wine bridge. The body lay within two feet
OF the track and was not much mutilated,
There were rumors that the man was muir.
dered, but the injuries seem to Indicate
that the man fell from moving train, al
though the actual cause OF death Is not up
parent. His nose IL almost cut OF, he has
| q cash over the right eye and u hole In the
right cheek. No bones are broken and
these are all the lpiuries found IN hasty
examination by Deputy-corouar Barnhill.
II WAS at htst thought that the body was
that OF William J. Patton, a carriage body
maker living at No. 1903 Gllpiu avenue.
Tbs father recognized tho body as that OF
his Hob and had II removed TO his home,
where the corpse was washed to prepare
| for burial. The whole family was loudly
mourning their loss, when Mr.. Pattons
daughter gave the body more scrutin'z'
| ing look and at once declared that II was
not her brother. The remainder OF the
| family came to the same conclusion, al
though tlnge of doubt still remained.
The body was then removed to the morgue,
whore II now lies.
The dead man evidently was Whining,

and smooth face. He work brown
diagonal coat, dark blue.black vest and
dark trousers with u light stripe. He had
on a complete suit OF red hnnuel under
clothing aud wore brown stockings. HIS
shirt was a stripped cheylot, and blue
polka dot necktie encircled his neck.
Numbers OF Pattor's friends who called
/ thought that the body was not Pattons, al
though all seemed to show the same hesi-
tating doubt In expressing an opinion. Pat
ton has been missing since Tuesday night,
when he said that he was goingto lOcSlhnt
to call on young lady. A search has bsen
Instituted for him. He IL about "a years

In the face Of the overwhelming
Republican majority last November, was
NOT unexpected by certain elements OF the
Republican party. The nomination OF Dol.
onel Butler for the mayoralty was claimed
to have been secured by afree use OF money
and the followers OF Slattery, his opponent
In tho convention, were bont on revenge.
In addition 10 this factor In the contest,
Judge Noonnn represented the liberal or
saloon element, while Colonel Butler has
prohibition tendencies. The defeat OF
General Mcneil for auditor is attributed to
his war record. On the remainder OF the

Ing Tuesday, discussed the subject MS to
whom the secretary IN Responsible. The
question arose over slight misunderstood.
ing between the members Of the board aud
the secretary In reference 10 the hours dur
Ing which the ONCE should be- kept open.
Tno discussion was thoroughly good
natured. The prescribed Office hours now
are from . q. m. TO IL m. and from z TO 0 D.
M. The secretary maintained that when II
was necessary for him to be absent through
sickness or any other cause, the hoard
must provide a substitute, while the Board
OF Health maintained that the secretary
was responsible individually. rambling
discussion enBued, during which some Of
the members OF the board maintained that
tue office should BIO kept open continually
during the day.
City Solicitor Turner gave bis opinion
That the board could prescribe the number
OF work hours TO the secretary, but 1t could
not remove him II he failed to comply with
It's orders. Tho Legislature alone has the
power OF removal and Council alone has
power OF appointment. Tho registrar can
be removed by Council for cause. DR..
Draper thought that unless the board OF
health worked hArmonlously, II was per-
rotary should be under the entire control Of
the board. II Is probable that nn effort will
be- made 10 effect the change before the I'D

EIgHTH STREET RAILWAY.
The Company 90 be- Required ia
PAyo-tEehdY to Begin Work,


Payo-keady 10 Begin Work.
Tho petition OF the Wilmington City Rail-
way Company TO lay branch road out
Eighth street was discussed by the street
and sewer commissioners Tuesday, but
the only action taken was to instruct City
Solicitor Turner to draft resolution giving
them tho privilege asked for, but also en-
bodying some specific contracts with which
they desire the railway to comply In return.
The charter Of the original company organ
lied to build the road has just been granted
by the Legislature and It requires them to
pave between the tracks and three feet on
each side Of their tracks for the entire
length OF their proposed line. Before
granting the privilege to the Wilmington
City Railway Company the street and
sewer commissioners want TO require them
to conform 70 the same conditions.
OF course, only eobble-stone will be asked
Tor, Belgian blocks or asphalt would cost
about Ms much as the entire cost Of the con-
struetion OF the road. Another proviso
which the directors want to embody is to
require the company TO build from Market
street TO Unlon street and to begin the work
within one month after receiving the pTivl-
lege, and completing II within six months.
| The privilege for which the company asked
was to build tho road from Market to Union
street or some ''intermediate point" The
directors are unwilling to grant the privi.
legs containing clause that is capable OF
such wide construction.
William Candy, the president OF the Will
mington City Railway Company. was asked
this morning what his company would do
| In reference to the paving between and on
both sides OF the track. He said that they
had never refused TO pay the first cost OF
/ paving M was desired fn this case, but It
was only when my street on which their
| lines run WIS repaved that they refused to
bear tho expense. He did not think that
tho directors Of the road would object TO
the paving.
II Is understood that the estimates for
| the line arc already made and the company
IA ready 10 award the contract rs soon as
| the privilege to lay tracks Is received.
