DELAWARE BOODLERS
Diamond State to Have the Luxury
Of An Investigation"
CHARGES AGAINST LEGISLATORS.

It Is Alleged That Certain Members
Attempted to Extort Money forThelr
Aid in Securing Legislative Di-
vorce.
Dover, Del. April 8O.-A decided sem
sation was created yesterday by the
action of the house of representatives
in appointing a committee to investi-
gate the charges recently made of GER
tain members of that body attempting
20 extort money from persons applying
for legislation as the price of their
favoring votes.
The resolution directing the appoint
ment of the committee recites as the
reason for the action that certain all
legations have been made to the public
press rejecting upon the integrity of
this house" The committee is COM
posed Of Representatives Hazel, John
son and Cheairs.
Various charges of attempted extor-
tion have been rumored, but the one
upon which this actioh is basea refers
to the application for a divorce made
BY Mrs. May White Cause, formerly OF
Philadelphia. from her husband, II.
Victor Cause, Her attorney, j. II.
HoffeckeY, says he was approached by
two members, who asked him to ex-
pend money for the purpose of having
the bill passed and feeling that he
could not be successful without the
use of the money he withdrew the bill
and took the case to court,
The committee, however, will not
conhne its Investigations to this par
ticular case, and as charges have been
frequent it is asserted that some sem
sational developments will be unearth-
ed.

indianapolis, April 80. - Yesterday
John Navin was fined under an old
ordinance in the city police court for
refusing several days ago to pay more
than three cents street car fare. Navin
appealed to the circuit court, which

A SHORT STORY
III Wilkesbarre Life-ainteresting to
the Public at Large.

Many reader Of this in Wilkosbarre has
seen the large watch sign, that hangs out at
No. 40 North Main street. It is there to tell
the people who see it that Robert w. Haight,
matchmaker, etc, can be found at that loca-
tion, and perhaps you may doubt the follow
ing, in which case you can always fnd Mr..
Haight at his address ready and pleased to
verify it. Matchmaking as it is called is no
doubt thought to be a comparatively easy
business on the constitution Of man, but
this is not the case. The constant STOPPING
position maintained while at work brings
with it many aches and pains. Such positions
in time effect the action Of the kidneys, and
this is just what it did in the case of Mr..
Haight and he began to look for n remedy
that would relieve. At last he was rewarded
One day he read of Doans Kidney Pills
Nothing was claimed for them, but that they
were kidney cure All the ills that flesh is
heir to were not set down as being subject to
their wondrous influence, and this inspired
confidence in them. The symptoms des-
cribed by kidney sufferers were his symptoms.
He began taking them. Three or four doses
brought change and day by day he grew
better now he says: II am entirely over
my trouble Home remedies l have used
but found but little relief of a temporary
nature. My greatest trouble was lameness
and stiffness in the back, with sharp, shoot
ing pains in the region Of the kidneys. /
consider Doan's Kidney Pills good and safe
remedy, and | recommend them to others"
No better proof of merit can be offered than
the plain facts as stated by those who know
by experience Call ON Mr.. Haight if you
doubt this.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by all
dealers. Price so cents. Mailed by Foster
Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Sole agents for
the U. s. Remember the name Doan's and
take no other.

CUBAN RELIEF WORK.

Enough Supplies on Hand for Temporary
ReIief-A Halt Called In the Arrange
ments-The Department Will Await
Notification from Consul General Lee
Before Putting Its Well-Nsatured Plans
Into Operation.
WASHINGTON, May 29. -Consul-General
Lee cabled the state department yes
terday from Havana that the amount
of supplies he has snow on hand there for
the relief of American citizens in dis
tress is abundant and will lastfor some
time. Presumably this statement ap-
plies generally to all the consulates,
for the consul general has been in con-
~sultation with his subordinate consuls
on this very matter by direction of the
secretary of state.
Wednesday steps were begun to
hurry forward supplies from this
country to Cuba just as soon as Gen.
Lea was heard from. Gen. Sullivan
commissary-general had selected one
of the most experienced assistants,
Capt. Davis, who had rendered such
good service at Memphis for the relief
for the flood sufferers, to go to Cuba

supplies. Then Mr.. r. A. Smith, a di.
rector of one of the steamship lines
plying between New York and Ha-
vana, had offered free transportation
to Cuba of the supplies and everything
was in train to begin to move as SOC
as word came from Gen. Lee. Now,
however, the department will wait I'M
til Gen. Lee notifies it that there is
further need for relief before putting

fishing schooner J. 2. johnson, which
went astray on the western bank last
Friday arrived here yesterday. All
were well although they suffered much
from hunger during Saturday.
The men report that they were I'M
able to judge as to the location of the
vessel after they had been out trawl-
ing a short time, but by blowing fog
horns continuously, the dories all
were gathered together and tied one
behind the other. They remained in
this position until daylight Saturday,
when the dense fog bank lifted and it
was decided to attempt to row to La

in that direction, the occupants being
distributed in the other boats.
The small quantity of bareback in

B MET HIS FATE.
A Brave Engineer Remains at
His Post
In the Presence of Certain Death, and OF.
fers up His Own Life to Save Others
A Fatal Accident Ceused by an
Open Switch.

GLENwooD SPRINGS, Col, May 90
An extra freight, going west, ran upon
the CABRERA siding at seven o'clock yes
terday morning to allow No. 4 passen-
ger. the Atlantic express, to pass. The
switch was left open. The first Sec
ton of No. 4 a into the open switch,
derailing the engine, mail and baggage
coaches and n passenger coach. En-
gineer John West and Fireman Denny
Donahay were instantly killed. Pas
sengers were badly bruised and shaken
up. Some had to be rescued through
holes cut in the coaches. Some were
cut with broken glass and badly
scratched, but it is thought that none
are seriously injured. All the passen-
gers of the wrecked section were
brought in this condition to Glenwood.
All the blame for the accident seems
to attach to the brakeman of the freight
train, who left the switch open.
As soon as Engineer West discovered
the open switch he blew his whistle
and reversed his engine. He remained
o n his engine, and but for his prompt
action in the last minute of his life
many more would now be numbered
among the dead. West was n
of the oldest and most faithful
engineers on the road. The point
where the accident occurred is a very
dangerous, one just on the bank of the
Grand river, where a little more mo-
mentum would have precipitated the
entire train into the water which is
now very high.

A DESPERATE BATTLE,

In Which Two Men are Instantly Killed
and Several Others Wounded, Fought In
the Principal Store In Oakman, Aia.-Tks
Trouble Caused by a Drunken Machinist-
List of the Victims.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 27.-The lit
sle town of Oakman, Walker county,
was the scene of a desperate shooting
affray this afternoon. The following
are the dead and wounded.
DEAD.
Isaac Appling, aged so, mayor Of
Oakman and leading lumber merchant
of that place.
Charles Williams, aged 80, q machin-
list.
WOUNDED.
Andrew Richards, clerk in the store
of Appling Bros, shot in the head; will
die before morning.
Montgomery Appling, brother and
business partner of Mayor Appling,
shot in the body; wound not necessa-
rily fatal.
William Duncan, an E~nglishman,
shot in the head and back; will die.
The two Applings, duncan and Rich
ards were shot by Williams. The
latter was slain by Montgomery APP
ping. Williams was a travelling ma
chinist, who recently came to Oakman
from Mississippi to secure work at the
coal mines.
To-day, while intoxicated, he entered
the store of Appling Bros, the largest
business house at Oakman, and became
very boisterous.
Mayor Appling, after ordering him
out, was about to call a policeman
when Williams drew a revolver and
opened fire on Appling, who fell dead
at the first shot with a bullet in his
heart. Montgomery Appling, who was
standing behind the ounter only a
few feet away, snatched up a
Winchester rifle and began fir
ing on the murderer. Williams
received two rifle balls in his body but
after he had fallen continued firing I'M
til he had emptied his pistol. Andrew
Richards, a clerk, was shot in the head
by Williams while trying to escape
from the place. William Duncan, an
Englishman, who has been prospecting
in Walker county, was shot in the leg
and back. Montgomery Appling was
also wounded.

The Lowest Rates Ever Made to an
Expositfon In This Country.

The Exposition in c~ommemoration Of the
hundredth anniversary of the admission OF
Tennessee into the Union is not a local at
fair by any means. 1t far surpasses IN K
tent of buildings, beauty of grounds, inter-
esting exhibits and number of both foreign
and home attractions any exhibition ever
held in this country, with the possible ex,,
eeption of the Columbian of 1893. Located
as it is on the main line of the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad it is in the direct line
OF travel between the North and the South,
and can be visited en- route with loss of but
little time. The extremely low rates that
have been established make it cheaper to go
