Was He Murdered?

Last evening William "a. Buck, the
cashier OF the National bank OF Darby,
left Philadelphia, where he had been
attending to some business. for his
home at Darby. The train which he
took did not stop at that station unless
there were passengers to get on or of,
and as he was the only passenger, the
conductor forgot all about him, and
took him fully half mile past the
place.
AS Mr.. Buck was not desirous to
have the train back up to the station,
he concluded to walk to his home, and
The train was stopped to let him OF
1t had barely started again, when sew
eral pistol shots were heard In rapid
succession, and mans voice crying
for assistance.
The train was again stopped and
backed up slowly, when tho rear car
passed over something on the track,
which as soon as the train was stop
ped. proved to be the body OF MIR.
Buck. As his gold watch and chain
were missing, and no money found III
his pockets, it was evident that he had
been robbed and murdered, and the
body afterwards placed on the track
to convey the impression that he had
met with on accident on the road.
His aged father, Robert Buck, who
with ono OF his SONS has store at
Rockland, did not know of his sons fate
until he came In town this morning TO
buy goods. While he was purchasing
some produce in the Jersey market, on
Fourth street, he heard some men talk
ing about the affair, aud was almost
prostrated to learn that his son was
the Victim.
He was unable to drive his team
home, and 1t was taken In charge by a
young man from this city. One OF the
brothers went to Darby at once but
up to noon nothing had been heard of
him.
Tho deceased was about SO years of
age, and had been employed as q
cashier In the Union and First National
Banks of this city.
About three years ago he removed
to Philadelphia, and engaged with an
accident insurance company. One year
ago he secured u position In the Darby
National Bank, as cashier, and remov
ed to that place. lie WAS very esti-
mable young man, and highly esteem
ed by large circle Of friends In this
city, who sincerely mourn his loss.

he was from Philadelphia, settled with
his wife and five small children In
