Bernard l.. Dorsey, who was shot in
the abdomen by Michael Mulqueen on
Saturday night. died at o'clock last
night at the Delaware Hospital He
did not identify Mulqueen as mis- assail-
ant.
Mulqueen's side OF the story has al
ready appeared in the Evening Jour

held as witnesses, relate their story as
follows:
They were walking up Spruce street
and concluded to stop at Mulqueen's
place and have a drink before going
home Upon entering the bar Dorsey
said: "Giye us a drink Mulqueen
said: mo: you are drunk now, and you
can't have any more" They then left
the place and walked up Lord street,
but went back again and asked Null
queen for a drink the second time. He
again refused, then the men left the
place. and some one threw brick at
the door. but no in the bar, as there
was not window broken. Mulqueen
came out of the alley, pistol in hand,
and inquired who it was that threw the
brick. Dorsey said. II did. Mulqueen
replied: Take that, and at the same
time hred the revolver.

1T is SUICIDE.
Since thefinding Of themutilated body
Of Mrs Stanley Tuchton, yesterday. in
the Brandywine race below Market
street bridge, there have been many
stories afloat and theories advanced
concerning the death of the young
woman.
At the post-mortem examination held
last night by Coroner's Physician j. r.
Smith, and DR.. J. p. Pyle, it was dis
covered that the woman came to her
death by other means than drowning.
According to the physicians, the body
was covered with contusions and abra-
sions. On the forehead were two deep
contusions, four inches long, which ran
diagonally across the head and the
right cheek bone, as II it had been
knocked out OF place. The body was
bruised from the waist up, but this may
have been caused by the continual
washing Of the body against the food
gates. The right eye was entirely des-
troyed, and there were other marks OF
violence on the body.
The theory is advanced that the
woman was foully dealt with and the
body thrown In the race to hide the
Nllilts btdlu Wdo Ahtt lAt NONNoAo soy
TO a sharp and acute concussion OF the
brain. No water was found in the
lungs, which proves that death was not
due to drowning.
Detective Witsil and Police Captain
Kane learned last night that a woman
answering the description OF Mrs. Tuch-
ton was seen standing on Washington
street bridge late Saturday night. Lydia
CULLEN, an attendant at the Delaware
Hospital said she saw woman lean
ing on the railing of the bridge, but
paid no attention, as 1t Is Of frequent
occurrence The only persons who may
throw any light on the mystery are AL
bert Beale and Miss Fanny Cienigan,
who ray that they were walking across
the bridge Saturday night and were
startled by hearing a heavy splash In
the race below.
Upon first going 10 board with Mrs.
Beidleman, in Philadelphia Mrs Tuch-
ton gave the name of Fanny Pearce,
and said she had been married under
an assumed name. Her husband called
every week to see her, and Mrs. Tuch-
ton always seemed bright and cheerful
when he was with her. After his visits
she became moody and despondent.
A little over a week ago she received
a registered letter from her husband,
and on the same day she tried to COM
NIT suicide by taking laudanum. On
Saturday she received another regis
tered letter and seemed much depressed
She left the house saying she was COM
ing TO Wilmington.

DEATH BY LIGHTNING.
Extraordinary Action of a Flash on a
Mans Body.
en- (London Lancet. J

The effects of lightning as it passes tc
earth through the body of man vary
within an aston1shingly wide range. II
sometimes happens that person is killed
outright without any symptoms or signs
of injury. 1t may be that death is pre-
coded by collapse, paralysis OF. convulslon'
usually there are marks where the cur
rent has entered or left the BODY, OF
clothes may have been scorche1, or hem'
orrhages may have occurred, anu ihore
than one case has been recorded "nere
boots have been torn off the feet ana nails
driven ont of the soles of the boots. Sell
dom does it happen that llghtnlng leaves
such APPALLING evidence of Its transit as
that disclosed at an inquest held at HUI
ford House, neal. Guildford, on Saturday
last. The evidence showed that on the
preyious Wednesday there had been a
single fash of Lightning and clap OF
thunder, and about half an hour after
ward Maj. Jameson was found lying on
his face in field quite dead. Around
him, in radius of several yards, were
his clothes and boots, which had been
torn and scattered about in an extraor-
binary manner. The lightning appears
to have struck him on the right side OF
the head, tearing his cap to pieces and
burning his hair Off 1t then passed in
side his collar down the front of his body
and both legs into his boots, which were
torn to pieces, and then passed into the
ground, making a hole about eighteen
inches in circumference and three inches
deep. His collar was torn to pieces, the
front of his shirt was rent into ribbons,
the ia ,ket and undervest were literally
torn to shreds, and the knickerbockers he
was wearing were stripped from him and
scat1ere on the ground. His stockings
and ait rs were similarly torn in pieces,
and ON the boots the lightning had a
remarkable feet They were burst open,
some of the brass eyeletholes were torn
out, nails were forced out. and the soles
torn eff The skin had been torn off the
chest, and the right leg was tor1 and
blackened; blood was issuing from the
mouth and right ear.
In connection with this fatality two
circumstances of more or less unusual
kind may be noticed. There is, first,
the single lightning flash, neither pre-
coded nor followed by others In the neigh
sorhood, and, secondly, the fact that the
person who was struck was lin the
OPEN" The latter comparatively seldom
happens, perhaps because shelter is in
sElnctlvely and perhaps unwisely Sou IT.
Here thers was no warning and no time
for this, and SO, without any neighbor-
ing object at hand to subdivide and share
the discharge, the latter had only one
route to earth-viz., the body of his vic
tim. The wet or dry condition of the
clothes is an important point in such
cases. 1t often happens that in persons
exposed to thunderstorm the clothes are
md thnrnfOro off ord oy-oti vol
easy passage to any electric current. In
the case above detailed the clothes were
presumably dry, and therefore bad elec-
trio conductors, and the destructive effect
of the lightning would be in proportion
to the resistance encountered in transit.
