A Delaware River Pilot Called up Before
the Eliot Commissioners to Answer
tlartain Chan res.

the Eliot Commissioners to Answer
Certain Changes.
The Earn Line Steamship Company
has demanded an investigation of the
conduct of Pilot John B, Mesner, who
was in charge of the steamer Earnwell
on Wednesday and Thursday week
ago, while he was taking the vessel up
the Delaware river.
The charge is that the steamer
grounded three times and that the
second time she grounded, while back
ing off again, she was sent upon the
mud on the opposite side Of the channel.
The charge is that Mesner was either
negligent or careless. The Earnwell
drew u feet at the time of the accident.
The Board of Delaware Pilot Com
missioners met in the office of B. Frank
Townsend, Equitable Building, Sat-
urday, for the purpose OF inyestiga-
ting the charges.
The commissioners present were Cap
tain John p. Virden, who presided,
Captain John H. Price, Captain Charles
Morris and Secretary B. Frank Towns
end. Commissioner William Bright was
absent through illness.
Pilot John B. Merritt of Lewes was
present, as was also Captain Mumford,
representing the Earn line of steamships.
Testimony was given by the captain
of the steamer Earnwell in regard to the
grounding of the vessel at the Horse
shoe Bend. Among other points he tes-
titled to was that had the bottom of the
river where the Earnwell struck been
uneven instead of mud the steamer
would have been strained. A great
number Of technical questions were put
by the members of the board. Free
opportunity was given Pilot Merritt
also to ask questions of those tcstifying.
The result of the investigation is
that the accused pilot will hereafter
be restricted to the charge of vessels
drawing not more than IS feet of water.

Murder.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 26.-Three peo-
pie instantly killed and one fatally
wounded was the wholesale murderous
record made by John Craig, an ex-police
officer, last night
About o'clock last evening Craig
hired a horse and buggy and drove to
the house of his divorced wife, situated
in Coruillitos canyon, near Tropico,
where she lived with her uncle, her
brother and her three young children.
Before Craig started he announced that
he was going there with the intention of
seeing his children, but murder was evil
IDENTIFY his determination, as he had
armed himself with two revolverS and
had been drinking heavily during the
afternoon.
When he arrived at the home of his
wife he deliberately drew revolver
and shot her dead.
Her brother, George Hunter, who was
some distance from the house when the
shooting occurred, rushed to his sister,
assistance
Craig shot him, infiicting wound
which will prove fatal. He then jump
ed into his buggy and drove rapidly
Arriving at the house of his father
in-law, William Hunt, he tied up the
horse and without any ceremony ran
into the house, shot and instantly killed
his falther-in-law and mother-in-law.
He then applied the pistol to his own
head with the intention of ending his
existence, but only succeeded in inflict-
ing slight flesh wound. Two neigh
bors rushed in and disarmed Craig, de-
tanning him until the arrival of the
police
Mrs. Craig secured divorce about
two months ago upon the grounds of
cruelty, and Craig, who is reputed to
be possessed of very quarrelsome dis
position, has never lost an opportunity
to make it unpleasant for her and her
family. He claims that his wife and
her family have frequently threatened
his life and that his shooting anticipa-
| ted the fulfillment of this threat Elk
Police Officer Craig had the reputation
of being very quarrelsome and aggres-
lsive. He distinguished himself while on
the force by participating in numerous
brawls. He has three children, the ED
est being but five years old.

SMALL BULLET WOUNDS.

The celebrated English surgeon, Pro-
fessor Victor Horsley, read a very inter-
esting paper before the Royal institution
the other evening on the effect of mod
ern small projectiles. In the course of
his remarks he said Some people seem
to think that a small bullet at very
high speed will pierce the tissues of the
body without doing much general dam
bullet hurries forward with it particles
of the substance through which it is
passing and thus practically becomes
larger projectile. If a bullet be fired
through a book it cuts out disks of in
creasing diameter as it traverses the
pages. Hence, too. it is plain that the
greater the sectional area the greater the
damage AS to the heating of the bullet,
it has certainly been much exaggerated,
and it's effects, if it has any, may be
safely neglected.
The physical constitution of a body has
a most important bearing upon the be-
havior of a bullet entering 1T. Why does
a bullet of certain size and travelling at a
certain rate simply perforate some sub
stances, such as wood or iron, Whlle IN
others, such as clay, bran, etc, II exer,

The answer is quite simple; the destruc-
tive effects vary directly as the viscocity
of the body.

had observed the results of the WOUNDS

riffed spectators. His aged wife was
