HIS BRAIN DASHED OUT.
RICHARD BOECK, A p, W. & 3.
FIREMAN KILLED-HE WAS
30 YEARS OLD

RICHARD BOECK, A p, w. q B.
FIREMAN KILLED-HE WAS
80 YEARS OLD.
Richard Boeck. Of Wilmington, fire
man of the engine of p, w. & b. rail-
road train No. 45, was instantly killed
at the iron bridge at Stanton on that
road this morning shortly after ii
o'clock.
When the train pulled out OF Will
mington Boeck was aboard and he
spoke to his engineer several times be-
fore passing the West Yard. The lat
ter was busily engaged and did not
take his eye from the track, so that
the last time he saw his fireman alive
was when his train pulled out Of the
station in this city.
Boeck must have had his head out
of the cab window when the bridge at
Stanton was reached. He was struck
by the smoking car on the 11.2S ac-
commodation train bound to Whining
ton, and the whole top of his head was
dashed off,
The windows of the smoking car
were open, and the unfortunate mans
brains were scattered through the car
Some of the passengers, among them
Richard Cooper, of Newark being be-
spattered.
The engineer, Frank Parrot, did not
know that the man was killed until
the train had reached Prices. There
he missed Boeck, and surmised that he
had been killed.
Deputy Coroner Chandler was noti-
fed and went to the scene, an will
bring the remains back this afternoon.
Boeck was fikoflkf kfohkk1 ohkkhkk
and lived at No. 727 East Tenth street.
The case is particularly sad, as his wife
is now very i'll. He was 30 years old.

Wilmington, Del, Sept 30 1896.
Hugh G. Browne, Chairman OF the Re-
publican State Committee.
Dear Sir: The recent fair and rea-
sonable overtures made by the Repub-
lican State Committee and ourselves to
the State Committee of the Union Repub-
lican party, and the electoral candi-
dates of that party, with a view to Sc
cure a single Republican electoral
ticket in this state. having been reject
ed, it Is apparent that further effort
In that behalf would be fruitless
II would be easy to criticise the in
fluences which have produced this re-
suit, and the reasons assigned to justify
il, but we refrain from further COM
ment upon the subject, as tending
rather to hinder than to help the OBJ
ject we have in view-the election of
Mckinley and Hobart. Meanwhile the
people are justly restive under the
protracted uncertainty as to whether
an opportunity is to be afforded them
to cast an united and effective vote for
sound money and honest government.
Under these circumstances we are
unwilling to continue longer in posi-
tions which, if not changed. must re-
suit in the defeat of the national ticket
in this state, and we therefore tender
our designations as candidates for
presidential electors.
We take this step from a deep sense
of duty to our party and our country,
and we believe that it will meet with
the general approval OF those from
whom we received our nominations.
While the duty of filling the places
thus made vacant rests solely upon your
committee, we venture TO recommend
that the persons nominated as candi-
dates for electors by the Union Reppb-
lican party be adopted by your COM
mittee.
The duties Of an elector are so simple
and ministerial that scarcely any quail
fication for the Office is requisite ex-
cept common honesty. We personally,
have never entertained a doubt but
mat the Union Republican candi-
dates for electors, II chosen, would cast
their votes for the Republican nomi-
nees. but If such doubt fingers in the
minds of any one It should be removed
by the letter of these gentlemen to us
Of the 18th instant, in which they de
clare, in clear and unequivocal terms
their intention, If elected, to vote foI
Mckinley and Hobart.
we are aware lnaJ lnere are bOmt
apprehensions that the electoral ticket
which we now recommend, may not be
able to secure the entire vote which
would have been given to one choser
under more favorable circumstances
but we trust that these apprehension
may not be realized. Should, however
the result be otherwise, It will Le 1
satisfaction to reflect that the respon
sibility does not rest upon your com
mittee or upon us.
Very truly yours.

The SWindIer.

The swindler is seldom lazy. It is 8 fact that many of those who make a living by imposing upon the credulity of the public work as hard and as sys- tematically as men engaged in legiti- mate business.
 As in every other profession, swindl- ing has it's successful and unsuccessful men; the most talented and best in structed among them often combine forces, forming companies of co opera tion, both for mutual safety and also in carrying out some systematic fraud, the more likely to win success. At the same time, individuals of exceptional talents and wide experience, who have full appreciation of their abilities, per fer to Ego it alone," as there is less danger of being compromised by the stupid blunders of pals or subordi- mates.
 There is little originality in the genius of these men. Old methods have proven the best, and the most "Artful Dodger" is he who can most readily adapt old ways and the systems to any set of circumstances and con- ditions. A radically new method is always dangerous. Experience has not proven how it will turn out, and for this reason conservatism Is the creed of the professional swindler.
 Asarule, the majority of pickpockets are young. Ifsuccessful in this branch of the business it Is not long before

His son had Lung troub- le, following Typhoid Malaria, and he spent three hundred and seventy-five dollars with doctors, who finally gave him up, saying: "Your boy wont live month." He tried Dr. Kings New Discovery and few bottles restored him to health and enabled him to go to work perfectly we'll man. He says he owes his present good health to use of Dr. Kings New Discovery, and knows it to be the best in the world for Lung trouble. Trial Bottles Free at w. T. Gonder & Co.'S, Drug Store.
