Lingo Guilty.

The interest In the fate of Frank
Lingo for the murder Of Mrs. Annie
Miller, tried last week at Camden, N.
j., was little less in the public mind OF
the people OfDelaware than il was with
the people of New Jersey. While
every one nearly thought him guilty,
they would not have been surprised in
the absence Of more direct testimony,
in a disagreement Of the jury.
There was one witness which the
States Attorney did not know of who
would have been o very Important on g
in investigating the murder of Annie
LecOney which, If 1t could have been
relied on, and we know nothing to the
contrary, would have saved both the
State and Chalkley Leconey great
deal Of money. We refer to colOred
man named Peter Evans.
phe Information which came TO Us
the past week, but which Wgs known
to the colored friends OF I9yans for
sometime, Is as follows, a. the informa.
ton reaches US Sometime after the
murder Of Annie LecOney, Peter Evans
came to this town and while here told
David Robinson that at the time Of the
murder he lived IN the same place o.
vicinity where Lingo did, that the lat
ter had wanted him TO 90 out with
him the previous night but he didn't
that the next day Lingo told him that
he had done something he was very
sorry for that he feared it would give
him trouble, &c. After talking some
time. he remarked that he couldn't
stand It, that Ihe would have to tell
somebody, and other similar expires.

A Serious Fall.

VIM. COnden, a shoemaker, well.
disposed but of unsteady habits since
he came here to reside thirty or more
years ago, was granted a pension for
some military service, few weeks ago
and has been enjoying the money ever
since in having good time spending
it for drink. On Wednesday in step
ping off the porch at the Smyrna House
he missed his step and fell, his hip strik-
ing the stone step and producing what
the DR.. called a fracture of the hip Joint.
He had no home and no one to see after
him, nothing but an uninviting room
to lodge in, and these representations
being made to J. Henry Jefferson,
Trustee of the Poor for this Hundred,
he gave an order for his reception at the
AlmshOuse and whittier, he was car
ried that evening, where he could have
the proper attention. A letter received
since by Mr.. Jefferson from E. B,
Downs, the keeper, says;
Yours received. Mr.. VIM. COnden
is injured worse than thought at first
DIR. Cooper says bis hip Is not broken
he calls it a compact fracture, the
round bone of the hip is driven up in
the socket, which caused mash in
stead of a break. He says he will
always be a cripple. We have him laced
to the headpiece of the bed, and {
weight to q cord running through {
pully, which DIR. thinks will prevent
the contraction of the muscles, and alsC
prevent his being a very bad cripple
The old man is going to quit drinE
now, he says, but 1 fear only to qui
again.

FRIDAY was designated as the last
day for the receiving of new business
in the Legislature, and Daniel NJ.
Ridgely topped the record by giving
notice of forty-six bills, one of them
entitled bill to suppress Henry G.
Turner" a member of the Wilmington
bar. Most of the members had new
bills to offer but if ever presented to
the Legislature may be something en-
tirely foreign to the title. By such a
process, the day fixing limit to the
reception of new business don't amount
to much.

stake, left the place without divulging
the secret, and never returned. Since
the murder of Mrs. Miller, Evans has
been down again to visit his brother
residing in the Forest" off towards
MARYLAND and told him the same
thing, as the latter repeated to "Dave"
Robinson when on recent visit to
him in this town. Evans evidently be-
lieves Lingo the murderer ia both
cases and had he been available for a
witness in the trial of the first murder
the second might never have happened

COMPLAINT is frequently heard of la
grippe. The ravages of the grippe in
widely separated parts of the country
seem to be quite as serious a menace
to health and life as its original incur
sion. 1t seems to have settled in the
country to stay. The tendency of the
the disease to bring on serious lung
and throat troubles should operate as
cautionary warning against undue
exposure in the blustery and inclement
weather usual in March.

Death of DR.. ]. A. Goodwin

DIR. Jos. A. Goodwin, in whose sick
ness there has been so much interest
for the past three weeks in Smyrna,
KentOn and vicinity, died shortly after
midnight last night at his home in
Kenton, in the Gath year of his age.
He had uniformly enjoyed good health
until recently and much was hoped in
his physical strength in pulling through
but his Hines was the result apparently
of stomach trouble that would not
yield to treatment.
DIR. Goodwin came to KentOn from a
place called "The Trappe" in Mont
gomery county, Pa, in 1850. KentOn
had never had a resident physician and
it was an experiment, but his dignified
bearing, evidence of skill, and general
strength of character soon made it evil
dent that his business was a success.
Two years after settling there, he mar
ried Miss Jane Bailey, daughter of
Mason Bailey, who have had a contin-
ued and happy home in the place
where they first started, the Doctor
widening and extending his influence
until he had large practice. Though
taking au interest in public affairs and
keeping well abreast of events and
topics engaging public attention, his
time was mainly divided between
his profession and his home, never we
believe having sought or held public
office, though so we'll qualified for the
discharge Of public duties. He never
sacrificed his opinions for expediency.
Some twelve years ago during a re-
vival under the ministry of Rev. P. H.
Rawlins, when u number of the lead
ing citizens of KentOn pTofessed copYer-
sion, DIR. GOpdWin was one Ofthe 1rst to

1t with pay citizens to make little
study of the electric wire controversy
uow in progress in this city. 1t will
pay them to enquire particularly as
to where it has its origin.
1t will be observed that a vague
statement is put forward to the effect
that Montgomery street property
owners are the objeeting parties. but
il win also be noted that their names
are not given. No attempt is made to
establish the responsibility of any
particular person or persons for the
obstinate fight which is being mad e
against the provision of rapid transit t
By electricity in this city. Under the
circumstances, most people will be-
lieve that the opposition has its
centre in the City Hall and nowhere
else.
Not very long ago, the Jersey City
and Bergen Railway Company under
took TO provide rapid transit for the
city by electricity. 1t procured the
consent OF the Board of Aldermen,
which was then in control of such mat
tiers, and made a contract with the
Jersey City Electric Light Company
to furnish the power. This company
had also procured by ordinance, the
necessary authority to erect poles and
string wires to furnish electricity, for
lighting and power TO its customers,
including. presumably, the Jersey
City and Bergen Railway.
But about the time when the poles
and wires were completed and the
motors were ready. Mayor Cleveland,
Influenced by motives which can only
be conjectured, discovered that the
use Of the motors was dangerous and
Illegal, and 50 he concluded to stop
them II he could. He wrote one oi
