a DE1IBERArE SUICIDE.
william Green of nIiddletown Died by
His Own Hand.

William Green of Middletown, prom
inent citizen and q son-in-law of EX-
Governor Cochran, who died on Tues
day,evening week, committed suicide by
shooting himself in the head. The act
was committed in the most deliberate
manner.
Some time in the afternoon he went
to his room, locked the door, and plac-
ing wicker chair before large mirror,
seated himself in it and prepared to end
his life. Putting his right foot on stool,
he rested his right elbow on his knee
and placed the muzzle of an army re-
volver which he held in his right hand,
against his right temple. Then he
grasped the muZzle of the revolver in
his left hand and held it against his
head Taking final look at himself in
the mirror he pulled the trigger and
died without struggle.
The position in which he was found
bears out this statement of his deliberate
actions. His head fell back on the
chair, his left hand dropped to his lap,
and was found burned with powder.
His right hand fell and the pistol
dropped to the floor
The bullet went through Mr.. Green's
head and came out at the left of the
back, and was found ON the floor. His
face and head were burned by the pow
der.
Mrs. Green, who is deaf, did not hear
the shot, but about z O'clock, thinking
that he had been in the room an nm
usually long time, sent for him. The
door was burst in and he was found in
the position described. DIR. Irving S.
Vallandigham was summoned, but
found Mr.. Green dead.
1t is said that Mr. Green's mind has
been affected for some time, but lately
was believed to be better. On several
occasions he has asked DR.. Vallanding-
ham about various poisons and drugs,
inquiring about the length of time they
took to kill, so he has doubtless been
contemplating suicide for some time,
and committed the act in fit of aberra-
ton of the mind.
Coroner Sparks was notified of the
suicide and went to Middletown. He
investigated the case and gave certifi-
cate,of death in accordance withthe facts.

President or Of any executive officer
illegal. It may declare an act of Con-
gress unconstitutional and void. 1t
may annul treaty even, as not having
been made Sin pursuance of the con-
stitution."
IL is absurd, therefore, to talk of the
submission of the Behring Sea dispute
to the Supreme Court as an insult to any
her department of the government.
Secretary Blaine will do well to restrain
his pen upon that point before he pro-
ceeds to castigate the British foreign
office or immerse its chief sin boiling
oil, or something of that sort" He
will do well to suspend further utter
ance on his part until he hears from the
Supreme Court. If that court shall be
of the opinion that it has jurisdiction it
is safe to say that it will not be deferred
from the performance of its constitu-
tional duty by the fear of hurting the
feelings of the Secretary of State. 1t is
nota question of etiquette or of courtesy,
but of legal right. And the British
government surely cannot be reproached
for having preferred an appeal to our
own courts rather than continue an end
less bandying of words, dignified by the
name of diplomatic correspondence, the
failure of which would leave but one
alternative-open war.

44SS4WOM.4N CANAL.


tor in as Suits.
Before Esquire Thompson, at George
town yesterday week, 2 test suits, brought
to recover wages for work done on tn,
Assawoman canal. The plaintiffs, who
were laborers employed in making the
excavation, were represented by Charles
f. Richards, ESQ. This work was begun
in 1899, under man named Fortunate.
He was succeeded by Mr. Hart, who
conducted the work until June, 1889.
Then one Mr.. Seybold took charge and
continued the work until October, 1889,
when he, too, quit, leaving his men un-
paid and other bills aggregating in all
$4,000 to $4,000. Since Seybold left,
the work has been continued under the
government contractor, Mr.. Mclean.
The plaintiffs were men who had
worked under Seybold and the suits
were brought to recover from Mclean
the wages which Seybold should have
paid.
Testimony was adduced to show that
the relation existing between Mclean
and Seybold was one of principal and
agent and to establish McLean's respon-
sibility as principal for liabilities con-
tracted by Seybold. The defence was
that Seybold was sub-coptractor and
hence Mclean was not bound for his
debts. The referees, from the evidence
in each case, inferred an agency and
gave Judgment. The suits were brought
under the foreign attachment act. There
were AS cases in all, involving over
1000, and upon the hearing of the two
test cases the defence abandoned the
others and Judgment was entered in all
Of them. Mclean says he will take an
appeal to court.

time remain unchanged and engender
greater or smaller supperatiye foci. Any
thing therefor intended to exercise a
healing effect on the tuberculouso pro-
cess must be soluble substance which
would be lixiyiated to certain extent
by the fluids of the body floating around
the tubercle bacilli and be transferred
in fairly rapid manner to
the juices of the body while
the substance producing suppuration
tubercular bacilli or dissolves, but very
slowly. The only important point was
therefor to induce outside the body the
process going on inside if possible and
to extract from the tubercular bacilli
alone the curative substance. This de-
manded time and toll until | finally
succeeded with the aid of 40 to
so per cent solution of glycer-
inc in obtaining an effective sub
stance from the tubercular bacilli with
the fluid so obtained made further ex-
periments on animals and finally on
human beings. These fluids were given
to other physicians to enable them to
repeat the experiments. The remedy
which is used in the new treatment con-
sists of a glycerine extract derived from
the pure cultivation of tubercle bacilli.
Into the simple extract there mutually
passes from the tubercular bacilli be-
sides the effective substance all the
other matter soluble in so per cent
glycerine. Consequently it contains a
certain quantity of mineral salts, color
ing substances and other unknown
extractive matter. Some of these sub
stances can be removed from it toll
erably easily. The effective substance
is insoluble in absolute alcohol. 1t
can be precipitated by it though not, in
deed, in pure condition, but still be
combined with the other extractive
matter which is likewise insoluble in
alcohol. The coloring matter may also
be removed rendering it possible to
obtain from the extract color
less dry substance containing the
effective principle in much
more concentrated form than the origi-
nal glycerine solutions. For applica-
ton in practice this publication of the
glycerine extract offers no advantage
because the substances so eliminated are
unessential for the human organism.
The process of publication would make
the cost OF the remedy unnecessarily
high.

PARIS, Jan. 16.-A most mysterious
disappearance is the talk of Paris this
morning. Prince Giedroyc, we'll
known member of the aristocratic cir
cles of the Russian colony in this city,
has disappeared from his mansion in the
Rue Gallilee. To make his disappear
ance all the more astonishing
the furniture of the mansion was
apparently transferred to parts un-
known during the night. 1t is be-
lieved that Russian Nihilists have threat
ened to blow up the princes residence
with dynamite and that this threat con-
tanned in mysterious notes sent to the
prince caused the latter so much alarm
that he decided to disappear and locate
himself in some place where the Nihi-
lists would not be able to annoy him.

John Thorpe, a peach grower Of New
York state, makes the following con
tribution to G0rden and Forest One
year old plants should be obtained now
and placed singly in 14-inch pots, or in
boxes, two or more in each box, pro-
tected in some clubhouse for two months
and then taken into greenhouse where
tine temperature is Kept not warmer
than 500 at night. They will need
Swinging twice a day, and the top
shoots, as soon as they are three inches
long, should be pinched back to three
leaves. This will give the lower shoots
a slight advantage and balance the
growth generally. OF course it is
that the plants have been pruned into
shape before planting-that is, the side
shoots are to be cut back and the tops
reduced one-third. After the growth is
completed in the greenhouse, they must
be removed out-of- doors and water given
them in sufficient quantity to keep
them from shriveling. Such plants can
be brought into the forcing
about the first week of November.
Peaches require good loan, bone and
potash to grow in. If boxes are used
they should not be less than foot deep
and foot wide, and the plants in q
box two feet long, and so on. The
boxes may be two, three or four feet in
length, and prefer them to pots.

fused--Other business Transacted.
AT Thursday nights meeting of
City Council the police committee re-
ported favorably on the bills for laying
the telegraph cable across the Christiana,
with the recommendation that one-half
be charged to fire companies and one
half to the police appropriation.
Mr.. Sharkey objected to saddling any
of the cost on the fire department ap-
preparation, as the work had been done
by order of the police committee.
Mr.. White said that cable would save
the fire department appropriation $50
per year heretofore paid for rent of a
cable to carry the fire alarm telegraph
wires, and it should therefore bear half
of the cost.
The committees report was adopted.
The printing committee, on the com
munication from the Sunday Republic
for the payment of the balance Of
$17.92 on a bill for printing the annual
city statement, reported adversely, as
the advertising was done without au-
thority. The committee made a similar
report on similar grounds, on the Sun
dag Republics bill of S43.70 for printing
the last city statement. Mr.. Curren

Laurel to Have a New railroad.

LAUREL, DEL, Jan. ia meeting
of representative men Of the Peninsula
was held here to-day to discuss the
building of railroad from here to
Chesapeake bay. The proposed line is
to be known as the Laurel Is Roaring
Point railroad. A charter will be
granted by the Legislature, and work
will be begun at once. The road will
open up fine fruit growing country.
Besides some of the best oyster beds
will be brought into connection with
city markets. Enough capital has al
ready been subscribed to build the line
1t is thought by many that when the
road is completed charter will be
granted the Baltimore & Ohio to paral-
lei the Pennsylvania system and connect
with this and other branches to be built
in the near future.

the effect that the dominion government

a Brief Illness.


Brief Illness.
Mrs. Elizabeth A. Sanderson, wife of
the Rev. Henry Sanderson of the Will
mington M. Il. Conference, lied yester-
day week at her home, All Washington
street, in the 72d year of her age. She
had been i'll about week and died of
pneumonia. Her funeral took place
Saturday morning last. Services were
held in Union Church, this city, of
which she was member, and burial
were made in the Methodist Episcopal
cemetery near Newark.
She was born near Newark and was a
daughter Of John and Elizabeth Fitz-
simmons. In her childhood she became
member of the Methodist Episcopal
church and throughout her life was es-
teemed for her Christian character and
benevolence. She was married four
times. Her first husband, the Rev.
John Bayne, was member of Philadel-
phia M. d. Conference; the second, the
Rev, William Irons. was a local preacher
and resided near Dover; the third, the
Rev. Daniel Lamdin, was a presiding

1869. Her only child, John Bayne, who
was called for his father, died in early
youth,
Mrs. sanderson left property valued
at about $4,000. She had often talked
of bequeathing money to assist in sup
porting superannuated preachers, but
died before having prepared will. on
the occasion af the dedication of Union
Church she contributed for the benefit
of that church the sum of $500, One
half of this amount has been paid and
the church will receive the remainder.

Light-weight Dollars.

The gist Of the silver controversy lies
wholly in the fact that 412s grains of
silver will not sell for dollar. If so
much silver should be worth dollar there
would be u sudden abandonment of the
pressure. for free silver coinage If so
much silver should be worth a dollar the
issue of bullion certificates for the market
value Of the metal would satisfy theowners
of bullion. suppose that Congress should
pass law that three pecks of wheat should
make bushel! The injustice of such a
proceeding would be manifest. But the
silver spectators insist that 75 cents worth
of silver shall be made to pass for dollar.
Is there any good reason why the owners
of bullion silver should have such an adj
vantage over the owners of wheat or iron :?
Up to the present time the government
itself has profited by the difference between
the market price of silver bullion and
the face value put upon the legal-tender
silver dollars issued from the mints.
But the government has received the sill
Yer dollars it turned out for dol
lars worth of taxes due to it, and it
has kept them ut par with gold thereby.
With free coinage of silver the govern
ment could no longer pay out gold dollars
or silver dollars. 1t could not afford to
lose the difference in value; and the result
would be the establishment of silver
basis in this country, instead of gold
basis, with such resulting overturn of all
credits and all business as has not occurred
since the government levied forced loan
upon the country by making its paper
notes legal tender. What is the necessity
for such legislation?
