New CASTLE. April "a, The passengers
IN the second car OF the south.tonnd ex-
press train due here at 4.02 yesterday at
ternoon. were terrified by two outlaws
nuder the influence of liquor, who
Il ,ntished reviewers and amused them
selves by firing through The windows Of
the car. Sheriff Allen, who was in the
smoker, was called on By Conductor
Hitch 10 arrest the men but he refused,
saving he had no authority. When the
rain reached New Castle the desperadoes
stepped off and proceeded down towards
town.
Officer Wise at once summoned Ohicers
Williams aud Hanson, who soon over
took them aud placed them under arrest.
They walked along, without Offering any
resistance, until near the corner of Union
and Delaware streets, when one OF the
prisoners Suddenly drew revolver from
his hip pocket and leveled it at officer
Wise,s head. Ire other officer, after
considerable difficulty. succeeded in TAX
ing his revolver and also the one from
his companion. They were afterwards
lodged III jail.
Both the revolyers taken from the pris-
oners had been loaded, and had 1t not
been for the efficiency of the officers in
taking the weapons, they would have no
doubt shot some one as both were
desperate characters.
The men boarded the train at Will
minetou and their disorder created a
great panic on the train especially among
the women, some of whom fled from the
car in terror
The men were avraigned before Mayor
Hanson at 10 O'clock this morning. Upon
the testimony of Lemuel Hitch, CON
ductor of the train, Passengers James q.
Lougfellow and E. l.. Wilson, Jr., and
Officers Wise and Hanson, the mayor
held the prisoners in 81 1000 bail each fol
their appearance at the May court. Il
default OF bail they were lodged in jail
The men gave their names IS Thomal
Bradford and James Haines and il is sale
they are Wilmingtonians.

torate Of the venerable DIR. Vallandigham
over the picturesque and almost historic
Head OF Christians Presbyterian uhnron
there was never before such a scene as
presented itself yesterday morning in that
quaint edifiee. There before 1t were
q altered, so it seemed, all the available
carriages and tepms in the whole pe'gh-
horhood OF farmland, each one OF which
had labored through the endless mud TO
deposit its quota OF sorrowing neighbors
and relatives OF John and Matilda Wade,
with whose sad ending on the railroad AZ
Newport on Wednesday EVERY EVENINGS
readers are well acquainted. The circum-
stance of their death, so widely circulated,
combined to bring people from all parts
of three counties, New Castle, Chester
and Csoil, in az many different states.
About 10 o'clock in the morning two
hearses left the house for the church over
q mile distant bringing in their train over
the hills and dales over hundred teams.
The services at the church where the
two bodies were placed side by side be-
fore the pulpit were very solemn aud
aztec ing. The church was crowded but
there were still several hundred outside
unable to obtain admission, making
almost Thousand in attendance. DR..
vallandigham, in his address, alluded to
the thrifty and honest lives of the nRed
couple, dwelling upon the horrible and
sudden manner Of their deaths, The
baskets OF both were opened after the
services and many in the church accepted
tue opportunity to view the remains foi
the last time. Daring the services there
were prayers and speaking by the Rev.
William Kershaw and singing by the
church choir. After this the two bodies
were lowered into graves which were side
by side. The pail bearers were j. Madison

taken alter he was bea en-. The assault Is

sailanis Will never be discoverd.
Mi, Brady boarded at No. 1903 South
Monroe street and he was employed as

went TO WORK early In the morning and on
the morning In question about 4 81 O'Clock,

part OF Madison street in the vicinity OF the
gas house is always infested with tramps,
Two Of whom accosted hin and asked him
for i've cents. Mr.. Brady replied in the
negative whereupon one OF the scoundrels
produced base ball bat or similar club and
with one blow on the back of the head
ielled Brady to the ground while another
blow on the right side Of the head reu-
dared nim totally unconscious although
after be bad fallen one of the men kicked
him In the left eye almost gnuglng It out of
its socket. They then rtlad his poeke,s
aud succeeded 10 secur ng Ell.

4 residence Of Mrs. Hume, where he told
4 thee few facts about the assault but said
/ that he could not recognize the men again
4 Il he saw them neither could he give de-
scription Of them. He was never fully
conscious after he assault and few day
i ufgerward he ank into aemi unconscious
state from which ne reused himself only al
i Intervals. He sapk gradually and expired

rhRga ot the brain.
The deceased was about 81 years o.
age and formerly owned farm at Newar k

hoe, who is lis reputed father. Several
councilmen have expressed themselves in
emphatic terms upon the measure as they
say with reason that the Legislature has
no more right to exempt the Academy OF
Visitation from thxation than i: has to
exempt any ether private school. Coun-
ellie committee further claims that Sena-
tor Donahoe, who had promised to notify
them when any legislation affecting the
city was offered, failed to appraise them
OF the provisions OF this act. At the pre-
vailing rate Of taxation the exemption of
$100, 900 worth Of property, as allowed
by this bill, will deprive the city Of 81, 500
