A HARD NUT!
Did Delaware Elect II L. =.
senator?

WAsHINGToN, May 15TH.-Dela.
ware has given the Senate hard nut
to crack in the unprecedented action
taken in its Legislature, about which
public men have been talking SO much.
As there is no precedent in the annals
of the Senate exactly covering the
case, the question is discussed as a
novel one and on general principles,
and the discussion is somewhat colored
by partisan opinion, the Democrats
generally taking the view expressed
by Senator Gray, chairman of the
Committee on Privileges and Elections
that there was no election, and the
Republicans generally taking the view
expressed by Senator Higgins. who
was member Of the Committee on
Privileges and Elections, that DUPONT
was legally elected Senator.
All agree that the case, which is
likely to he a famous one, will he con
sidered by the Committee on Priv
leges and Elections, and bv the Sen
ate, and that until it is finally settled
in the Senate it will not be possible to
say definitely whether Delaware will
have two Senators or Une before the
Legislature acts again. 1t may force
the Republicans to the alliance with
the Populists for the reorganization Of
the Senate, which they have been anx.
ious to avert by making an arrange
ment with the Democrats, for the lat
ter will now he strongly disposed tc
retain control of the Committee on
Privileges aud Elections until it re-
ports upon the Delaware ease As
the Republicans have fnrty-two votes,
it is supposed that they will have ne
difficulty in getting the two or three
more they NAV need from the Popu
lists, for il is known that Jones aud

DARING BURGLARS.
Bound and Gagged Six People
on n Farm.

LANCASTER, Pa, May pa
sensational burglary occurred this
morning about six o'clock near Willow
street, four miles south of this city,
which concluded with an exciting
chase after the robbers and their
capture after the exchange Of a num-
her of pistol shots.
Aldus Mylin is a wealthy farmer
and came to this city eaily this morn
ing to attend market. Shortly after
his departure two strangers went To
his barn where John Herr, aged II,
and John Finders, aged 1S,were work
ing, and while one Of the strangers
covered the boys with pistol the
other bound and gagged them.
The burglars then went to the COW
stables, where two women and a girl,
Mrs. Clara Bowders, Mrs. Annie Harry
and Miss Hettie Eschbach, were milk
ing cows, aud intimidating them by
their pistols, bound them also.
From the COW stable they went TO
the tenant house, the sole occupant of
which was William F. Harry, a man
of about 45 years, who was surprised
to find himself looking into the muzzle
of pistol. He was bound and gagged,
the gag being inserted with such vio-
lence that it knocked out tooth.
Having secured every one about
the premises, the men went TO Myths
house, and were ransacking it when
Enders managed to release himself
and alarmed the neighborhood. The
farmers and villagers. with arms of all
descriptions, started for Myths house,
but the burglars saw them coming and
ran. The pursuit was kept up for
over a mile, during which shots were
exchanged.
The burglars were finally captured,
and gave their names as George Will
liams, % years old, OF Philadelphia,
and John Green, 26 years, of New
York. They had secured a small
amount of money and some jewelry,
all of which was recovered. They
wer. brought to this city and locked
up.
Williams is apparently familiar
with Lancaster but claims this is the
first time he has been here for six
years. Mylin brought a large sum of
money TO this city this morning, and
it is supposed the burglars in some
way learned that il was in his house
and expected TO get it.

GOV. Brown S WifeDead.
The Leading Lady of Maryland.
Heroine of n Dual Romance.

Mrs. Mary Ridgely Brown. wife OF
Governor Frank Brown, died at the
Hotel Rennert Saturday morning.
She had been i'll with complication
Of liver and kidney troubles for sever
nj weeks. She leavss two children.
Mrs. Brown, daughter Of David
Ridgely, was native OF Baltimore,
and very interesting dual romance
had much TO do with the enviable
prominence to which she attained.
She was twice married, her first hus-
band, whom she welded in her twenti-
eth year, having been the late Horatio
w. Preston, very wealthy citizen of
Boston. They were married in the
winter of 1887. lie was a number of
years her senior and in delicate health.
He died within year, leaving her
childless but with large fortune. A
year or so later she met Frank Brown,
who had always been one of her adj
mirers, and they were married in De-
cember, 1879, two or three years after
he had first sought her heart and hand,
which were won by his rival The
couple had two children, the eldest
being Miss Mary Brown, who is about
fourteen years of age, and the other,
Frank Brown, who is about twelve.
Mrs. Brown was well known to all
Baltimore society people as the most
agreeable of hostesses, both at Govern
or Browns estate, Springfield, and
later at the Executive Mansion at
Annapolis.
One Of Mrs. Browns noticeable
qualities was that of generosity to the
needy. She had always been ready
with her purse to relieve individual
cases ofsuflering or poverty that came
under her notice.
The funeral took place on Monday
morning, at IL o'clock, at Christ's
Protestant Episcopal Church. The
pall-bearers, both active and honorary
were composed OF the Governors
staff. The interment was made in
Greenmount Cemetery.

Railroad Improvements
The Baltimore, Chesapeake and
Atlantic Railway Company
Are Making Extensive
Additions.

\ special to the Philadelphia Times
from Baltimore on Monday says:
The Baltimore, Chesapeake ard
Atlantic Railway, in which John +.
Searles and other New York and
Philadelphia capitalists are interested
has completed negotiations for the
purchase of the property of the Sine
puxent Beach Company, at Ocean
City, Nd. The property embraces
the stretch of beach five miles in
length on the Atlantic Ocean, and
separated from the main shore OF
Worcester county by Sinepuxent Bay.
1t is upon this island that Ocean City
is situated, and the beach has already
won national reputation as one of
the finest on the Atlantic coast.
The property has Tor some time
been held by the Siaepuxent Beach
Company. of which Mr.. Charles
Goldsborough is president, and with
in the past year the company has been
taking active steps looking to its adc-
quate development. With this in
view, the capital stock of 500, 900 was
recently doubled, and plans were pre-
pared looking to the construction Of
railway to traverse the property from
a point opposite the Isle of Wight on
the north to picturesque bluff five
miles to the south, where pavilions
and amusement grounds were contem-
plated. 1t was expected TO make
connection with the tracks of the Bal.
timore, Chesapeake and Atlantic.
Overtures were made to the authori-
ties Of the railway for the construction
of the projected road, and it was thus
that the pending negotiations began.
The Baltimore, Chesapeake and
Atlantic Railroad is backed by an
abundance of capital. 1t was formed
by the consolidation of the Baltimore
and Eastern Shore Railroad and the
Eastern Shore Steamboat Companies,
thus controlling all the Eastern Shore
lines.
