SLEIGHERS MET DEATH
Norfolk Express Train Dashes
Into the Tharp Outfit.
HOLDING AN INQUEST TODAY

william M. Tharp was Tnstantiy KILLED,
the Horse Was Cut to Pieces, and ths
Negro Driver was Fatally Injured.
The Inquest Being Held To-day.
Conductor @. +. Sherburne, with
Engineer w 7. Morgan and his entire
crew, left the city this morning on the
s 10 Delaware train for Farmington,
Kent county, where the train they
had In charge yesterday, Norfolk express
train No. 49, leaving Wilmington at
IL Oh a. m, dashed into a sleighing party
about o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The railroad men were on their way Ito
Pennington to attend the inquest which
WAS to begin at noon to day under the
direction of Kent county
The party Of sleighers was proceeding
from Vernon TO Pennington and, as the
driver claims, saw no signs Of the ap
preaching train. Their ears were closely
muftled on account Of the cutting Winds
and they could hear no sound OF warning
from the approaching locomotive.
Tharp was instantly killed, his body
being hurled over one hundred feet
Johnson was picked up in an lnsensible
condition and viii probably die The
driver contends, was running at
least fifty miles an hour On
these grounds suit will probably be
brought, as case exactly similar has
just been decided in favor of plaintiff
when the train was running through
town at an excessive rate
The train men think they have
good case although they say little
about IT, The horse was going at
race track gait and the warning
signals did not disturb Johnson In
the least and seemed to startle the
horse into run lato the jaws Of death.
Johnson's injuries, which were not
thought to be serious may prove fatal.
The horse was badly mangled and
met instant death. Mr. Tharp was n
well known young man of 30 years and
the son OF Samuel A. Tasrp, a we'll do
farmer and prominent Kent countain.
The sleigh was broken into eplinters

is it for? Is it a purely unselish
movement for the public enlighten-
mentl Hardly. There is a deeper
motive behind it than this, and peo-
pie will do well to reflect little
upon what this motive really is.
In the meantime, what are Popu-

themselves as they should do to

the millionaire manufacturers have
been enabled to sell products at their
own price, on the one hand, and buy
labor at their eWn price, on the other;
and by so doing they were further
enabled to contribute generously to
republican campaign funds.
The financial plank of the plat
form is the same old meaningless
conglomerstion of words:
Honest money, consisting of gold, silver
and paper, every dollar as good as any
other dollar, and all backed by the ma
tional faith and honor. We favor bimet-
sllism and demsnd the use Of both gold
and silver as standard money, either in so-
CoFdanCe with q ratio TO be fixed by an in

on, or under such restrictions 10 be deter
mined by legislation as will secure the par
ity Of values Of the two metals 80 that the
purchasing and debt-psying power of the
dollar, whether of silver, gold or paper,
shall be at all times equal.
There you have it. It means any
thing or nothing, just as you want it
to mean. In a gold-stsndsrd SEQ
tion it means gold monometallism.
In free.silver section it means free
coinage. In a "fiat" money section
it means money "baoked by the ma.
tionsl faith and honor" 1t is all
things to all men. This, with the
customary I'VE condemn the other
fellows" constitutes the Ohio repub-
licsn platform of 1895. It's a dandy.
It is constructed to dupe fools and
will probably succeed. The work
ingmsn will kick and strike 364 days
in a year and on the 365th day walk
up to the polls and vote for con-
tinuance of the very things he is
kicking against. It's a great coun-
try. Hurrah for Mckinley and
"honest money" Get out your tin
horns and Whoop'er up.
