ton. Mr. Hills company comprises a
strong array Of artists. His name has

due TO the fall and not to a blow in
flicted by any instrument in the hands
of man. We came cut here perfectly I'M
biased, but do not think the
death was the result of anything but ac-
cident. The Uranium does not show any
iudentation as if it had been struck by
black jack or any other instrument The
prime cause of death was the broken
neck, the second cause might, under GER
tain conditions have been the wounds on
the head but would not have been in
Simultaneous, and the third might have
been drowning. In this case the cause of
death was the dislocation at the base of
the skull"
The Body Again Buried.
After the examination the body was
again placed in its grave, and the party
left the cemetery.
Between twenty and thirty witnesses
will be called before the jury. 1t is not
known when it will meet, but some very
conflicting testimony is expected.

The extra edition of the EVENING JOUR-
NAL yesterday containe d despatch
from Dover an account of the meeting Of
Robert J. Reynolds with the committee
to notify him OF his nomination for
governor.
A portion of the dispatch is appended
DOVER, Del. August 26.-General r.
r. Kenney,J Wilkins Cooch, and Edward
Jester, the State Convention Committee
to notify Robert j. Reynolds of his
nomination, met at General Kenney's Office
at 100 this afternoon and officially
notified Mr.. Reynolds. The notd-
cation, which was drafted by General
Kenney. was read TO the governor by J.
Wilkins Cooch. 1t says
1.-THE singular degree of unanimity
with which you were thus selected, in
dicates that you were the decided choice
of large majority of the Democratic
people of this state. The mani
festations of distress through
out the land and tho causes
leading to such distress being justly at
tributable to the gross Encouragement
Of our public affairs, and the unjust and
unequal tax laws that have been made
and enforced by Republican Congress
and executive. demand the restoration Of
the Democratic party TO power
in the various departments of
the Federal government.
We can overlook the important fact
that it would be exceedingly dangerous
to commit to the custody Of the Repub-
lican party of Delaware the man.
agement and control of our domestic
affairs, for if the Republican party
should obtain full control of the execu-
tive and legislative department Of the
government of the state IL would neees-
cessarily follow that that party would re-
vive the tax laws of Delaware in com
formity with the onerous and Ubiquitous
system of taxation, which the
Federal Congress hiss fastened upon the
whole country, which is in favor of
monopolies and wealthy manufactures as
against the people.
'The people, fully believing that
you represent their cause as
demonstrated py your many years OF
active service in the Democratic party
through their delegates in Convention
assembled, have unanimously rendered
you this nomination, hoping that at your
convenience, you will formally accept
1t in a letter setting forth clearly
your views with reference to the
political issues upon which the two par
ties are divided
Mr.. Reynolds replied in few well
chosen words, and stated that he would
send the committee his reply in a few
DAYS There were present in the room
many Democrats, who loudly cheered the
prospective governor.
