Elizabeth's Dead Hand.

Elizabeth is doing her best to manufac-
ture a murder mystery out of the human
hand found in the ashes at the Florida
street dumping ground. The hand was
first discovered by a woman living in a
small house neal the scene, and after it
had been taken to the morgue Mrs. Joseph
McGurke, whose husband had a hand cut
off on Fourth of July morning, was con
WINGED that it was the hand of her hus-
band. There was a red handkerchief, in
which the hand had apparently been
wrapped, also picked up at the ash heap.
The hand found is a right hand, cores
ponding with McGurke's loss, and from
appearance II had been severed from the
arm by a surgeons knife.
The hospital authorities deny that it is
McGurke's hand. DIR. Green stated to
the reporter that he is positive it
is not. McGurke's hand was amputated
at the hospital and buried. "
County Physician Westcott late yester-
day afternoon was In this city and made
an investigation. He reported to Under
taker Burning that after his interview
with Dr.. Green, he was satisfied hat it
could not possibly be McGurke's hand.
He directed that it be kept at the morgue
for a day or two longer, and the police
have been notified to continue the inyesti-
cation.

BUMPTIOUS Mr.. FARLEY.
HE JUMPED ON DELANCO'S
CHORAL SOCIETY AND
GOT HURT.

Is There a Murder Mystery Behind Eliza
beth's Dead Hand-PatersOn's New
National Bank-A Reaper's Horrible
w-ork-Genera1 News Notes.
The Rev. Mr.. Farley has the town of
Delanco about his ears. The minister is a
very young man, and in a recent sermon
in the M. E. church called attention to
some things to which he objected in the
pretty little town. In the course of his
remarks he is charged with having said
there were "three hell holes" in Delanco-
the hotel, the lighthouses and the Choral
Society.
If there is one thing that Delanco takes
pride in it is the Choral Society, which Is
made up of some of the very best people
of that town and Beverly, two miles away,
and there are one or two Philadelphians
who take part in the society's perform
ances. 'fThe Mikado" was presented by
the society at Burlington last month, the
characters being taken by the young
ladies who compose the chorus OF the So
ciety, and several prosperous Ph1ladelphia
business men who have residences IN
Delanco. This is supposed to nave pro-
voked the language used by tne young
minister. 1t was some days before the
full import of the sermon of the Rev. Mr..
Farley became understood.
"It was so shocking, so uncalled for"
said a member of the society commenting
on the discourse, that we could hardly
believe it, but we have obtained. proof OF
it from several persons who heard 1t.
Think of it Every member of Il society
highly respectable and well connected.
Why, it is enough to cause us to drum the
preacher out of town. Our only excuse for
him is that he is young, a stranger in the
town, and has been misled by some one
through jealousy or personal enmlty."
Official cognizance of the strange Ian
guage imputed to the preacher has been
taken, the following card being prepared
and printed in the Sand Bury, the weekly
paper printed at Riverside, just across
from Delanco:-
DELANoo, N. j., July 1, 1ss9.-The unjustifiable
aspersions of the minister of the Methodist
Church of Delanco, in his sermon last Sunday,
when he publicly branded the Delanco Choral
Society as one of the 'hell holes" of the place,
forces the society to take notice of the same In
its meeting, and it is now resolved that the words
and actions of this Christian man are hereby CON
demned by the Delanco Choral Society, and the
ignorance, narrow minded prejudice and servile
fanaticism of this church, existing in an enlight-
ened community, are greatly deprecated.
FRANK II. STORY, president.
]. REESE MOORE, secretary.
A much more complete statement has
been prepared by the society and is to be
published. 1t is said that it handles the
minister without gloves.
