SERIOUS ABFRAY.
Charles Turpin Stabbed TO Death by Ernest
johnson.

Crisfieid, Md, July 15.--Ernest
johnson has been arrested and CONF
mitted to Princess Anne Jail, charged
with killing Charles Turpin. johnson
and Turpin, with several others, went
into the river at CriefeId last evening
to take bath. While the rest were
in the water johnson took Turpin's
boat and went ashore. As soon as
Turpin could get ashore he went to
the store of Charles Wilmington, near
Shiloh Church, and there found John
son playing checkers He went up to
johnson and, stroking his hair several
times, said: johnson, you are getting
to be bad boy johnson at once
rose and cut Turpin twice, inf1icting a
slight wound on the left wrist and one
on tho right shoulder. johnson ran
toward his father, who was engaged at
that time in putting up a telephone
wire. Turpin followed and kicked at
him once or twice, when johnson
turned suddenly and drove the knife
into Turpin's left breast. Turpin ex-
claimed: II am cut; I must go to the
drug store and get it sewed up" He
went about 20 or 80 yards and fell.
DR.. G. G. Ward was at once sum-
moned, but Turpin died soon after
his arrival. Sheriff L. c. Nelson
arrested johnson at once. johnson
was arraigned before Justice Porter,
but waived hearing and was com
mitted to Jail.
At the autopsy, conducted by Drs.
Atkinson and Ward, it was found the
knife had penetrated the heart A
coroner's jury was empaneled by
Sheriff Nelson. The jury found the
following verdict: "That Charles
Turpin came to his death by means
of wound in the heart inflicted by a
knife in the hands of Ernest johnson. !"
TIE knife with which the homicide
was committed was small pocket
knife. As threats had been made to
do the prisoner violence, Sheriff Nelson
guarded the Crisfleld lookup. To-day
johnson was taken to the county Jail
at Princess Anne.

TRIED TO SHOOT A THIEF
Attempt to Capture a Man Who Was
Stealing Coal.
WAS SHOT AT BY A WATCHMAN
An Intruder Put to Flight by
Bullets.

A colored coal thief had a close call
at the brickyard OF j. II. Beggs & TO-.
near Claymont street and Vandever
avenue, about 10. so p. m. Tuesday.
as he was attempting to escape with
his plunder. He was shot at by the
watchman, but managed to get away
without being struck.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Watchman
William II. Kinsler OF No. 220S Lamot
street started on his rounds of the
yard, and as he approached the coal
bin, he noticed a man coming out with
bag Of coal on his shoulder. He
called to the man, whereupon the latter
started to run away. The watchman,
being unable to halt him in any other
way, pulled his revolver from his
pocket and fred. but the ball went
wide of its mark and the man escaped.
Several colored mon living over
Eleventh street bridge have been steal
ing coal from the yard for some time.
They have been going to the yard In
the evenings. and while some would
engage the attention of the watchman,
others would do the stealing. Several
men have been caught in the act. but
after they gave up their plunder were
allowed to go. This leniency on the
part OF the people at the yard has bad
the effect of increasing the depreda-
tiops, and Watchman Kinsler has de-
cided to break up the practice.
He had no intention of killing the
thief, but the latter would prob
ably have been turned over to the
officers had he been caught 1t is
likely that the summary action of the
watchman will put stop to the steal
ing, as should any be caught in the
future they will in all probability be
prosecuted, ,@tt

The Commander OF du Post succumbs TO n
Sudden Attack.
Henry W. Zimmerman was taken
suddenly. i'll at the headquarters of
du Popt Post g. A. r., Tenth and
Market streets, Tuesday night, and died
about an hour after reaching his home.
On Sunday he had complained of feel
ing unwell, but Tuesday evening he APP
reared to be in good spirits at the
opening exercises of du Pont Post.
Mrs. Zimmerman had expected to ac-
company him to the headquarters as
special exercises were to take place,
but she was detained at home.
AS commander Of du Pont Post Mr..
Zimmerman presided at the meeting.
He took part in the singing with his
usual vigor and was apparently in good
health when he began the ceremony of
mastering in new member. The new
comrade was William e. MARITIME.
Commander Zimmerman was admins
tering the obligation when he paused.
One OF the members thought he had
forgotten the words and began to
prompt him. But Mr.. Zimmerman
said that he had not forgotten. That
he was i'll became apparent and he was
taken to the ante-room and few
minutes later John Williams, mem
ber of the post, took him home on a
street car.
He had barely reached his residence,
[ No. 907 Gilpin avenue, when he began
to lose consciousness. Drs. j. L. v.
Blocksom and Swithin Chandler we're
summoned to his side, but the sick
man was beyond human aid. He died
about 10 minutes of 10 O'Clock. Angina
pectoris is given as the cause OF death.
The exercises at the lodge room went
on after Mr.. Zimmerman left the build
ing. When the fatal outcome of his
attack became known after the meet
ing his comrades were most sadly
shocked. Last year du Pont Post had
buried 10 OF it's members. Until Tuss.
day there were no further vacancies
in the ranks on account of death. On
Monday Mr.. Zimmerman had attended
the funeral of Mr.. Flsgler, an old
soldier, and had there remarked upon
the fact that none had died in
du Pont Post for the past six months,
for which he was very thankful. The
words were recalled at the meeting by
one who had heard them uttered.
Henry W. Zimmerman was about 81
years OF age. His father, Henry Zim.
norman, was a merchant tailor. and
the son followed the same business.
For time he lived in Newark. He
leaves wife, who is sister of JameE
~. Wyatt and eight children as fol.
lows: Edward W. of Philadelphia,
Elmer and George of Omaha, Neb.
Mary, the wife of Frank /. Howard oi
this city; Charles a., Katharine,
Henry W, Jr., and Paul, who are
home.
Mr.. Zimmerman was much loved by
is comrades in the G. A. K. He was
CHEEKY in nature. and a good singer.
In August. 1862, he enlisted in the
First Delaware Battery Of which
Benjamin Nields was captain, and b.
served in that command until July,
1865. Col. Nields yesterday morning pai6
tribute TO his work in the battery. Mr..
Zimmerman bad occupied several Offices
in du Pont Post before becoming itf
commander. He was a member o
Eureka Lodge, A. F. A. NJ. For years
be directed the singing of the Sunday
school of Second Baptist Church.
The arrangements for the funeral hac
not been completed early this after
noon.
