Draper are to the following effect "The
bullet struck the left side and travelled
downward to the right. 1t was de-
Elected from its course to the right side
of the pelvis or hip. We hoped that the
ball had not entered the abdominal re-
gions, but from later developments the
bullet may have penetrated the abdom-
inal regions and injured the tissue of
that locality. The fact that peritonitis
set in and inflammation spread so
rapidly, the inference would naturally
be that the abdominal regions had been
injured"
The remains of the deceased were re-
moved from the hospital at Z o'clock
Friday night to the home on Twentieth
street by Undertaken Fox.
No facts, but volumes of conjecture
exist as to who the murderers were.
The cut gives an exact picture of
the location Of the tragedy which took
place at the corner of Elliott avenue
and Tatnall street. The crime was per-
petrated beneath the electric light.
Schultz fell at the corner of the curb.
His blood was discovered on the curb
stones. The fairest theory is that the
two men who committed the crime were
the samo who robbed the toll-gate house
on the Concord pike the same night.
The idea is that being in the possession
of burglar tools they would not risk ar
rest and Immediately shot the police
man as he gave his challenge.
The fact that officer Schultz died in
the discharge of his duty, the protection
Of the property and possibly life, against
the invasion Of his assassins, adds
another pathetic feature to his taking
of. 1t is presumed that his murderer's
were the same men who, earlier in the
evening, had robbed the dollhouse and
were looking about for other plumber
when the suspicious actions of the two
men arrested his attention. He followed
their every movement, only losing sight
of them for short intervals, and the two

The post-mortem examination on
Schultz's body was conducted Saturday
afternoon by Drs. J. A. Draper, L. G..
Shortlidge, John C.Fahey and George A.
Steinicken. 1t was ascertained that
after striking tho left hip the bullet
passed downward and to the right
entering the lilac fossa. It then de-
fected to the left pelvis. Peritonitis set
in and death ensued.
Coroner Charles Il. Sparks empaneled
the following jury Saturday afternoon:
John j. Gallagher, foreman; w. II.

DIR. Shortlidge testified to the Incl
dents happening at his office when
Schultz was brought to his office early
Thursday morning. DIR. John G. Fahey,
coroner's physician, testified as to the
results of the post-mortem examination.
William Dunwell testified he was
coming up Market street and as he was
passing DR.. Shortlidge's office heard
some one grosning. Near Twentieth

and Officer Schultz. The officer was
supported by Aiken. Schultz explained
he met two men at the corner of Elliott

them "throw up your hands" The men
instantly fired upon him.
George Aiken testified he was at the

REPLY TO DIR. TODD


As to what Conferences the Pastors of
Grace Church We're Received from.
Conference Chronicle.
In our last issue we gave as q bit Of
news-news in the proper sense-the
statement that tho trustees of Grace
Church, Wilmington, had voted to in
vite our conference to hold its session Of
1899 In their church, adding, that the
invitation would be slight recognition
of the fact that this church belongs to
the Wilmington Conference, although
as yet, no minister of this conference
has been deemed capable of occupying
its pulpit in the pastoral relation.
This was not designed to be an Of
fenslve remark, but a mere statement of
fact. To our surprise, however, 1t struck
sensitive point, and the daily papers
of the city have contained communica-
tons, denying the correctness of our
statement, and indicating that there is
an unpleasantness felt somewhere about
the matter. Even the learned pastor
thought it not beneath his dignity to
reply to our note, but his triiling and
meaningless manner Of doing so ought
to be beneath the dignity of man
occupying a much humber station
than he does. He proves, with admir-
able skill, that, a part of the time
the church did not receive its pas
tors from the Wilmington Confer
ence, first, because il received
them from the Philadelphia Conference,
and, secondly, because there was no
Wilmington Conference. Just so. And
the obvious declaration that these pas
tors were members of the conference
during their pastorate, if intended to re-
flute our statement as every fair reader
would understand it, has no pertinency
whatever. The single case of DR.. Mat
lack, who served the church in question
one year, may be an exception, although
his memoir, which appears accurate as
to date, states that he was appointed to
Grace Church the same year in which
he came from the Louisiana Conference.
One paper, which purports to speak
for the trustees of Grace Church, makes
DIR. j. A. b. Wilson, editor of the Con-
ference Ohr0aicIe. Whether he regards
this as a compliment or not we cannot
say. but we will relieve him of this
charge. He has nothing whatever to do
with the ChrOnicle more than any other
subscriber and sympathizer has to do
with it.
But we desist, feeling that the whole
matter is too trivial longer TO engage the
attention Of our readers.

Policeman Charles w. Schultz died at
Che Delaware Hospital on Friday after
noon from the effects of pistol shots re-
ceived at the hands of two unknown
men at Twenty-frst and Tatnall streets
on Thursday morning at o'clock.
Policeman Schultz was patrolling his
district and was passing Twenty-first
and Tatnall streets. He had just left
H. w. Evans at the office Of William
Lea & Sons. Five minutes afterwards
he noticed two suspicious looking indi
viduals coming towards him and or
dered them to halt Their immediate
reply was two pistol shots in quick sue
cession. The first struck the officer
near the left hip and the other bullet
aimed at his head, grazcd his left fore
head dashing through his helmet. The
unfortunate man staggered, struggling
TO draw his pistol from underneath his
heavy gum overcoat. His efforts were
useless. The desperadoes escaped in
the darkness.
The officer struggled along in his

hSorU nm SHAMEFUL cHARGE.
A Respectable Family Ruined by
Brnndywine Village business Man.

lsrnndyWine village businehs hh"'
Common street rnmor in Brandywine
Village makes extremely serious charges
against Joseph Graham, a well-to,do
groceryman, doing business at No. 1905
Market street. The accusation against
the man duplicates him in a criminal
way, his victim being a school girl ii
years of age. Some of the childs rela-
tivcs were at Graham's store Thursday
night. The interview was an exciting one
and drew crowds to the door. Graham,
it is understood, emphatically denied
the charges.
The first intimation the child's parents
had of the matter was two days ago,
when anonymous letters were received
warning the mother against Graham,
and detailing the common street talk.
The girl was Immediately taken to the
family doctor, when the parents horrl-
BILE fears were substantiated by the ply
stefan. The parents are broken down
with grief over the revelations. The
whole sympathy of the village is with
them, and denunciations are heaped
upon Graham's head, Tho parents
would gladly sell out their homestead
this moment and move away from the
town to hide their grief.
The accused is married man with a
grown up family He is about GO years
of age and is prominent in church cir
Giles. Alleged facts are unreservedly
told against him, describing his machi-
nations, how he habtually decoyed the
child with candy and presents. In addi.
ton former instances of his disgraceful
practices are alleged.
The father of the girl went to see City
Solicitor Lyman, Friday afternoon, with
a view to having warrant issued for
Graham's arrest.

THO OF 4 KIND.
The Bond of Sympathy Between Senator
Ingalls, and the New York "Sun."

Ingalls, and the New York "Sun."
New York Times.
When the late Mr.. Eng learned of the
death of his twin brother Chang, to
whom he was much attached, sicken-
ing fear seized upon him, mortal chill
ran through all his veins, and presently
he himself died. The New York Sun
is affected in much the same way by the
news Of the political death and burial ID
Senator ingalls,.
The Siamese twins were hardly more
closely akin one to the other than this
man and this newspaper. A frolicsome
contempt for decency and good morals
characterizes both. The Senator has
not an honest conviction or sound
principle in his whole composition. A
like defect is the Suns chief joy. In
all serious affairs, in all questions of
weight and Importance, each is a rank
and self-exposing charlatan. AS black
guards both have large natural endow-
ments which they may have diligently
striven to increase by patient study and
daily exercise in the art. Senator In
gals ripens his venom by carrying it
about with him, adding to it now and
then poisoning epithet or blistering
phrase, until the fit occasion comes for
its discharge. The Sun devotes to the
business of calumny and detraction the
care and thought that a finished orator
gives to the preparation of his discourse.
The Sun has always admired the sena-
tor and the senator idolizes the Sun.
Each has inspired the other to fresh and
higher flights of blatherskitish fancy;
and the performances of the one have
reioiced the heart of the other.
And now the senator has been run
over and killed by an aged crank with
STOPPING shoulders, beard two feet
long, and terrible hacking cough. The
Sun has cause for its sadness, for are
not the wicked always great believers in
pOrtents2
