WISP OF WOMAN'S HAIR
Found Clinging to a Rock Be-
low the Sluice Gates.
VAIN SEARCH FOR THE HAT
MRS. TUCHTON's WATCH HAD
STOPPED AT 75O. AND 1T is SUP
POSED THE BODY ENTERED THE
WATER AT THAT TIME.

The investigation into the death OF
Mrs. Stanley Tuchton goes on, but as
yet there has not been a clue that tends
to throw any light on the
mysterious case. The watch worn
by Mrs. Tuchton stopped exactly
at $50 O'Clock. and this is supposed to
be the time she entered the water.
Yesterday afternoon Officer Gum
found a wisp of hair in the creek fas-
tened to some rocks below the sluice
gates, where the body was found. The
woman's hat has not, as yet, been
found, and diligent search is being
made for it.
The detectives have no evidence so
far to incriminate anyone, and still
cling to the theory of suicide. Detec-
tives Geyer and Tate, of Philadelphia,
are in Wilmington to-day assisting the
local detectives in their efforts to un-
ravel the mystery. Detective Witsi was
in Philadelphia yesterday trying to find
some trace of the child said to have
been born in January and which the
relatives Of the dead girl are anxious
to find.
Deputy Coroner Chandler insists on
the suicide theory, and has entered a
certificate or death at the Health De
partment giving the cause as supposed
suicide
The inquest will be held tonight in
the Municipal Court room. and will be
strictly private. Only those directly in
terested and newspaper men will be ad-
mitted Attorney-General White will
conduct the inquest and examine all
the witnesses.
Among those who will testify are
Mrs. Beidleman and Mrs. Campbell OF
Philadelphia, with whom Mrs. Tuchton
lived. Mrs. Wise OF North Twelfth
street, with whom the woman resided
when discovered by her aunt will also
be on the stand, as will the detectives
and Stanley Tuchton.

A BIG FREIGHT WRECK.
Fourteen Cars Derailed at Elk
ton This Morning.
TRAFFIC BLOCKED FOR HOURS

NO LIVES WE'RE LOST, BUT THE
CONDUCTOR OF THE wRECKING
TRAIN FROM THIS CITY WAS IN
JURED.
A big freight wreck occurred on the
p, w. & b. railroad, at Elkton, this
morning, delaying the heavy passenger
traffic from Washington. Fortunately
no one was hurt.
About 4.20 o'clock this morning a
heavy through freight passed through
Wilmington, bound south. At Elkton,
about 4.45, the axle on one of the cars
broke and the car fell on the track. The
obstruction threw all the remaining
cars of the train. numbering fourteen,
off the track and they were piled up in
the greatest confusion, completely
blocking the south-bound track and
partially closing the north-bound one.
All the traffic had to be carried over
the north-bound track which was first
cleared. A wreck train was sent out
from Wilmington to clear the tracks.
The conductor of this train, G. j. Leon
ard. of Wilmington, was knocked un-
conscious and slightly injured by the
rebound Of broken rope.

THE CONTEST WAS A DRAW.
FRIENDS SAY HE
SHOULD HAVE HAD THE DECI-

There we're about 400 people present
last night to see the boxing matches
which we're to take place in Cycle
Academy, at Tenth and Orange streets.
and. though the go between Paddy"
Dougherty and John Glynn was a red
hot one, the crowd was disappointed.
The reason for this was that there was
only about s65 taken in, and this was
insufficient TO make up the purses nee
essary.
Two local colored boxers went on and
put up a fairly good exhibition, and c.
j. Moriarity pounded George Russell.
the colored New Castle pugilist, around
the ring for four rounds.
Then came the go between Giynn and
Dougherty. For the first two rounds
Glynn apparently had n cinch, but in
tn third and fourth rounds Dougherty
had all of the better of the encounter,
and many of the spectators we're OF the
opinion that he should have been
awarded the decision. The referee,
however, declared the go draw.
Jack" Henry and Steve" Flanna-
gan did not go on.

HOW ARE YOU, COUSIN TOM ?
OELAWARE'S PARTICIPATION IN THE
INAUGURAL PARADE.

A FIRST REGIMENT MAN HAD A
TRYING EXPERIENCE FOR A
MARRIED MAN, BUT HE WILL
TELL HIS BETTER HALF ABOUT
IT.
Many of the Wilmingtonians who
went to Washington to witness the in
auguration Of President Mckinley re.
turned home last evening and to-day,
and the others will be dropping In
town by different trains from now until
Monday.
After the legislative and Constitu-
tional Convention delegates reached the
capital they scattered and became lost
to one another amid the thousands OF
other visitors who had congregated TO
witness the elimination Of the Repub-
lican triumph of last Fall
The Young Mems Republican Club,
Of Wilmington, maintained a semblance
of an organization part of the time, but
the leaders had a difficult time keep
ing the boys together. On Wednesday
evening they serenaded Senator Gray,
and would have extended the same
courtesy to Senator Kenney II they
could have found him.
Yesterday the club participated in the
inaugural parade with Major Edmund
Mitchell as marshal. The visiting dele
CATION was headed by the First Regi-
ment Band, and had a prominent place
in the civic procession.
National Commander John p. Dona-
hoe, of the Union Veteran Legion, was
also a conspicuous figure in the dem
onstration.
Benjamin F. Rawnsley, who bows the
baritone horn in the First Regiment
Band had a funny experience while
the band and club members were in
front of the Delaware headquarters on
T street yesterday morning waiting to
march to the place assigned them.
Two very pretty girls we're walking
down the street. when one of them
espied Rawnsley. Her face lightened
up and she beckoned to him, advancing
as she did so.
"You are Cousin Tom. amt you?"
she asked.
"Yes, I'm Cousin Tom" he said. She
threw her arms around his neck and
kissed him as nicely as one could wish.
You are coming up to see us this
evening, aren't you?" she asked.
yes, If / can possibly do So said
the handsome baritone.
BE sure and do so, for the folks are
expecting YOU" said the fair one.
Mamie, this is my Cousin Tom. Miss
SalmOns. Cousin Tom.
Immediately after the introduction
Rawnsley had to leave the girls and
take his place in line. as the Delaware
boys were about ready TO march. He
was foolish enough to tell the Joke. and
the boys made full use of it. Every
once in awhile somebody would sing
out: you are Cousin Tom. aren't
you?" and a laugh would go up at the
baritone's expense

Committee moved that that commit
tee be authorized to advertise for bids
for the building of new crematory. or
to provide for other methods for the
disposal Of the garbage of the city at
the meeting Of City Council last night.
II was carried without a dissenting vote.
Before the question was put Mr.. Nc
Nulty explained to Council that this
motion was made, not with the inten-
tion Of building a new crematory at
once, but for the purpose Of ascertain
ing the probable cost. A new crema-
tory must be built before long. and II
Council knows what It would cost. the
tax rate for next year could be rated
accordingly.
An order for S11 ,16O.79 was ordered

Inspector Grubb, S6S.50.
Communications were received from
the Liberty, Friendship and Reliance
fire companies. Each company wants
an additional $500 tackled on to its an
nual appropriation, as IL was stated in
each communication that the present
appropriation is not sufficient to cover
the expenses. The correspondence was
referred to the Fire, Law and Finance
Committees.
The coal oil inspector reported hav-
ing inspected 1874 gallons of oil last
month, and during the same period, the
milk inspector made 211 inspections
and inspected S,440 quarts.

LOST HIS CERTIFICATE.
EDWIN BRIsCOE NOW WORRIED
FOR FEAR OF BEING UNABLE TO
PROBATE A WILL.

PROBATE A WILL.
Edwin Briscoe, a colored resident of
Westville, N. j., got off north-bound
F., w. & b. railroad train yesterday
afternoon in a very excited frame of
mind and hunted up the telegraph
operator IN the railroad station. He
told the operator that he had just ar
rived from Baltimore, and that he
wished to telegraph to that city to have
the officers Of the Baltimore Steam
Packet Company, OF that city, look out
for marriage license which he had
lost on one of its boats.
An Evening Journal reporter was
standing at the telegraph office, and to
him Briscoe who is apparently well-to-
do, said that he had just returned from
Norfolk. Va, where he had taken the
body CT his wife, who had died in West
Vile, for burial.
IL seems from his story that his wife
owned about 5000 worth OF property
in Norfolk, and about the same amount
in Wostville. In addition to attending
his wife's funeral, Briscoe wished TO
prove title to the Norfolk property. For
this purpose he took with him his mar
riage certificate, to be used in conHec-
tion with his wifes WILL which he pre-
sented to the clerk Of the Corporation
Court. of Norfolk for probate.
He was informed that the will must
| first be probated in New Jersey, and on
his return to accomplish this he left
the marriage certificate on one Of the
Bay Line steamers.
He telegraphed to John M. Sherwood,
manager Of the Baltimore Steam Packet
Company, to forward the certificate to
| Westyille if IL is found.

ashamed Of its display In the inaugural
parade yesterday. The chief organiza-
tion in line from this state in point OF
numbers was, of course, the Young

Warner, but about $50 OF the clubmen,
who were marshaled by Major Edmund

marshaling of uniformed men, the club
was widely known in Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Maryland, into which
they had frequently journeyed in presi-
Dental campaigns. The First Regi-
ment Band accompanied the club.
While the various encampments Of
the Union Veteran Legion that were in
line belong to the District OF Columbia,
they were commanded by General John
=. Donahoe, Of Wilmington, who Is ma
tional commander of the legion. The
other officers OF the National Legion
comprised Brigadier General w. S.
Worters. Of Philadelphia, senior vice
national commander; Brigadier Gen
eral j. H. Carpenter. OF Reading, junior
