Mrs. Mills accepted the story as true, but

this morning the man was arrested on the
charge Of double murder. The boat was
found in the river, and when il was taken

A short distance down the stream two
corncohs trimmed SO as to exactly fit the

Hand on the Throttle.
From the PHILADELPHIA Record Dec. IL.
The passengers that filed the Pullman
cars of the south bound Washington limited
over the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore railroad on Saturday, little
dreamed that for several miles above Will
mingtou as they went flying along the rails,
there was no guiding hand at the throttle,
aud that the engineer to whom they In
trusted their lives was hanging helpless and
mortally wounded from the window or the
engine cab. The unfortunate man was
Benjamin Strickland, aged SO years. OF No:
1924 Wharton street, who was considered
by his superiors one Of the best engineers on
the road. His anxiety for the safety Of his
passengers cost him his life.
Some miles above Wilmington Strick-
land discovered something slightly wrong
in the running of his engine. Thinking it
was hot box he leaned out from the Dab
90 discover it il possible. The train sped
on and even the fireman, John Lynch, who
was attending to his duties, seeing nothing
unusual until, wondering why Strickland
did not resume his place on the seat and
slacken the speed as the train neered
bridge, he spoke to him, but received no
answer. Lynch then crossed the cab, and
taking hold of Strickland was Mortified TO
find him limp uDd unconscious. A horrible
cash In the top of his head explained his
silence.
The fireman tenderly lifted the injured
man inside, and then slowed down the en-
CINE, running 1t TO Wilmington. Although
the cause of the accident was at first
shrouded in mystery, there Is now no
doubt that the unfortunate mans head
struck a freight car which stood o. sid
ing. Stationmaster Thomas b. Brison
says that this was undoubtedly the case,
as blood has been found on a car standing
some distance above the. city, and a trail
of blood leads along the track from that
point. +.-..--.
The blow, terrible as IT must have been,
did not disturb him from his seat, and his
powerless hand still olutched the throttle
bar when he was discovered. At Whining
ton Strickland was given medical attention
at once, but he never rallied, and died early
yesterday morning in the Delaware hos"
pital. .......
His grief stricken wife arrived before his
death, but he remained unconscious to the
last. His body was sent TO his late home
last night. Mrs. Strickland is in very deli
cate health and it is feared that the shock of
her husbands sudden death will cause
dangerous results in her case. The dead
man had been an employe Of the Philadel-
phia, Wilmington and Baltimore road for
over twenty years. The coroner's inquest
will be held at Wilmington tomorrow.
