Witnesses Testify That tho Accident WINS
Unavoidable and That Joshua Miner,
the Driver Of the Wagon Did All in His
Power to Avoid the Casualty he Jury
ExonerAtes Miner From All Blame and
the Prisoner Is Released by Deputy
CorUner Palmer.
Willie Williams, five.years-old
colored boy, was run over at Front and
Poplar streets about O'Clock Monday
afternoon and SO badly injured that he
died ut O'clock Tuesday morning. The
circumstances Of the accident are these !:
Williams, with two other hoys, was
playing at the intersection of Front ana
Poplar streets Monday afternoon, when
ono OF the large coal wagons Of the
Charles Warner Company came down
Front street and turned into Poplar.
The boys saw the wagon and tried to
get out OF the way. All escaped but
Williams, who was trampled beneath
the horses feet and fatally injured. He
was taken TO his home, No. 400 East
Front street, where lie died next morn
ing. County Physician James Walker,
who made ar examination OF the body,
found that the hoy's death was due 10
internal injuries.
Joshua Miner, driver Of the wagon,
was arrested on Tuesday and held
without bail to await the action of the
coroner. lie WAS seen in his cell at the
City Hall and stated that he did all he
could to avoid the accident without
avail He sand there were three boys in
the street and while trying 10 avoid the
other two lads, he did not see Williams
until he was under the horses feet. He
is greatly worried over the casualty.
An inquest was held on Tuesday.
The jury went first to the home of the
deceased, and after viewing the body
repaired to the municipal courtroom in
the City Hall to hear the evidence. The
jury was composed as follows: Fore
man, Joseph l.. Carpenter, ST., John NJ.
solomon, Milton Lackey, Thomas OAR
lington, John ii. Graham and w. IL.
Walker.
In view Of the fact that Joshua Miner,
the driver of the coal wagon, was held
without bail to await the action of the
coroner's jury the case was given the
careful consideration of the jury, who,
after celebrating, found that the bcy's
death was due to accident and that the
driver was not to blame for his death, it
having been shown that the casualty
was unavoidable.
The jury was impressed with the
apparent truthfulness of the drivers
statement, and having heard all the
evidence in the case rendered the fol-
lowing verdict:
I'VE find that William Williams came
to his death by being struck by horse
on September 10th, at Front and Poplar

Common sense cnnngea rheln.

AT the close Of the Civil War the
Republican party was all powerful. Its
majority was overwhelming the cause
OF the Democracy seemed hopeless.
But for twenty odd years there has been
a steady stream of men, impelled by
patriotic common sense, leaving the Re.
publican and coming to the Democratic
party. AS result, the Democrats have
to-day complete control Of the national
government. Prominent in the House,
in the Senate, and in the Cabinet, are
/. Democrats who were once Republicans
illustrations of the thousands upon
thousands of citizens whose common
sense compelled them to part company
with the Republicans.
Some left the Republican narty
because it trampled on constitutional
limitations and invaded the reserved
rights Of the States some, because Of It's
inveterate hostility to the white race in
the south. Some grew sick at heart
because of its corruption under Grants
administration and left it then. some
remained with it until it stole tile
Presidency for Hayes, and then they
held their noses and fed. some, plying
the poor, parted company with it when
they found that the money power had
boughtit, body and soul. A great BODY
of conscientious men left Its ranks to
return no more when it attempted to

Edward Trusty, Colored, Charged with
burning u Dwelling in the Night Time.

Edward Irusty, COlored, Charged with
Burning Dwelling in the Night Time.
Edward Trusty, colored, was given
preliminary hearing in municipal court
yesterday charged with setting fire to
dwelling house in the night time. The
house is occupied by Trustys wife,
with whom he had q quarrel and is
located at No. S07 East Fifth street, 1t
is right next door to the house in which
lived Eddie Gardiner, who was muir
derei about two years ago.
Officer Mclaughlin, who arrested
Trusty, says he was patrolling his beat
at o'clock yesterday morning, when he
found that the house No. S07 East Fifth
street was on fire. Mrs. Trusty, the
prisoners wife was sleeping in the
dwelling at the time. She was awakened
by the smoke and helped the officer to
put out the fire with buckets of water.
1t was found that the house had been
fired from the outside, aud that a lighted
match had been applied to the wood
work about the doorway, causing the
conhagration. Mrs. William Fuhr, who
lives at No. 800 East Fifth street,
saw Irusty apply the match to the
hOOdhuIk uuput tllb NORWAY
Officer Mclaughlin says he saw
Trnsty coming from the scene of the
fire. After the flames were extinguished
he went to No. 702 Lord street and
found rrusty, whom he placed under
arrest. The officer found that Trusty
and his wife had quarrel the previous
day and Trusty left the house. The officer
thinks tho prisoner set fire to the house
out of revenge.
The crime Of arson is capital offence
in Delaware where dwelling is fired
and the lives Of the occupants placed in
jeopardy. lrusty had not retained
counsel when arraigned yesterday
morning. Arthur W. Spruance, who
was recently admitted to the bar, was
assigned by Deputy Judge Emmons to
look after the prisoner and will defend
him at the trial. A postponement was
granted until Friday morning.

great many Of them. But they do not
properly belong there. They have not
yet brought their common sense to bear
on this subject. Many of them will yet
come over and join the party of the

our maiorities in the future. Common

The report Of the Maryland State

tains the following:
Goiora, Cecil County-Our drought
has been broken by abundant rains dur
ing the past three days, commencing
with shower on the afternoon of the
tin and followed by an all-nighL thun.
der storm with $50 inches of rain. No
wind here to damage corn. Wheat
seeding will now occupy the attention
of the farmer, but less than the usual
amount will be sown.
GEORGE BALDERsroN.
Ghestertown, Kent County
fant rains and warm weather during
the week have made the grass grow; the

menced, and by the close of the week it
will be nearly all cut on. A large
quantity Of blades in excellent cundi.
ton have been secured.
Colin +. STAN.
Milford, Kent and Sussex Counties,
Observation-Disclosures week of dry
weather has added nothing to the
farmers prospects, but has enabled
most OF them to secure their fodder
crop, which is quite large, in fine condi,
ton, and now, instead of having food
to buy, US they were compelled to do
the past two or three years, they vii.
probably have some to sell.
j. Y. FouLK.
Denton, Caroline County-Too dry
for turning fallow. Tomato season at
its height. Late tomatoes are much
better than the carly ones. Fodder
saving will be pretty we'll finished in
another week, and that saved thus far
Is very me. Corn scarcely shows an

put the ground in condition for sewing.

On the face of the proceeding it would
appear that Senator German escaped
barely by the skin of his teeth being
downed by the Democrats of his own
district last week. As it was, our Balti-
more news sizes up the outcome as
"Gorman candidates and Cleveland
resolutions" There seems to be no
mistake about the classification OF one
of these candidates, DR.. George Wells,
who was nominated to fill out the un.
expired term of Barnes Compton, but

pudiated being q conservative" and
declared for the tariff reform of the
platform and of SHAT greatest apostle
OF Democracy in modern times, Grover
Cleveland" The platform adopted by
this convention endorses the national
Democratic platform, declares that the
Wilson bill, providing as it did for the
free importation of raw materials gen
orally, was an ideal measure and repre-.
scented fully the Democratic idea, en-.
dorses President Cleveland's efforts to
secure the fulflment of party pledges
and an honest and consistent interpre-
tation of the party platform, and adds:
