BOTH LEGS SEVERED.
Shooting Accident TO soldier ut Poplar
Street Railroad Crossing.

John j. Dugan of Chester, Pa,
formerly of this city and for several
years employed with Edward Common,
assistant foreman of tracks on the
Maryland Division of the p, w. & B.
railroad, died at the Delaware Hos
pital from injuries received on the p,
w. & b. railroad at the foot of Poplar
street, on Saturday morning, both legs
having been cut off by train.
Dugan has not been employed with
the railroad company for some time.
When the call for volunteers was made
he with others enlisted in the service
of the government and, became mem
Der of Co. d, First Delaware Regi-
ment. He returned with his company
to this city on Monday and was paid
off Friday night. He remained with
some friends on Friday. On Saturday
he had been travelling around with
companions and when he arrived at
Poplar street crossing saw train
which he intended to board pulling out
of the station. The crossing tender,
Michael Leonard, caught hold Of Dugan
and advised him not to attempt to get
on the train, but Dugan tore himself
away from Leonard and attempted to
get on the second car. IIe slipped
and fell with both legs beneath his
wheels of the train, and three cars
passed over them, severing the right
leg at the knee and the left leg above
the ankle.
The unfortunate man did not lose
consciousness, although his head struck
with great force on the rails where he
fell. He attempted to rise and finding
that he was seriously hurt kicked the
bloody limbs against the rails and
called for the train to return and finish
the work of killing him.
The train was stopped and then
started again for Philadelphia. The
| officials at the station were notified of
the accident and the porters procured
a, stretcher and carried Dugan to tho
| hospital room, where DIR. j. A. Draper
did what he could for the sufferer,
after which the latter was taken to the
Delaware Hospital,
! The Rev. d. J. Flynn, LII. D., was
at the station and interested himself
in tho unfortunate man.
! Dugan, previous to his enlistment,
had been residing at No. 53S Penn
Street, Chester. He is unmarried and
MS far as can be learned has no rela-
tives in this city.
1 When he was in the hospital room
he shouted for the, Stars and Stripes
and said he was a soldier of Uncle
Sam.

TROUBLE IN SUSSEX COUNTY
The Republican Factions on
the Eve of an Upheaval. "
MURMURlNG BELOW THE SURFACE
The Compromise Slate Likely
to be Smashed.


Georgetown, Oct. s. -Everything is
not serene among the Republicans of
Sussex county, but to the casual OBJ
server the surface is without ripple.
Delve deeper, you will find serious
trouble exists in the selection of the
nominees on the compromise ticket.
This work, which was done by the
members of the county committees of
both factions, at recent meeting here,
does not meet with the approval that
the committees had hoped. 0
The work of the county committees,
in removing names and substituting
others, as has been done in hopes of
harmony and one ticket, is condi-
tional action. They are not vested
with the power to remove or substi
tute a name without the sanction of
the party concerned Their work,
therefore, was decidedly conditional,
and it was hoped that those whose
names were withdrawn would sanction
the action. Many have, but not all,
and when these dissatisfied ones state
their refusal to withdraw, at the meet
ing to be held here next Tuesday for
the purpose of completing the COM
promise ticket, trouble will be plainly
evident, the members of the commit
tees fear, and those who had previously
sanctioned withdrawal of their names
in the interest of harmony may ask a
reconsideration of their decision, now
that other nominees of their faction
will not consent to withdraw.
The nominees for Representatives in
the First and Sixth districts, the nomi-
nee for Senator in the Fourth district
and the nominee for sheriff were not
supplied at the recent meeting, when
| the committees named a portion of the
compromise ticket. These nominees
are to be selected next Tuesday and,
according to report, the selections will
be frought with many difficulties. The
| Regulars contend that, as they were
especially generous to the Unionists on
| the legislative branch, allowing the
Unionists majority of the nominees
at the recent compromise meeting, the
Regulars should have the two nomi
nees for Representative and the nomi
nee for State Senator. The districts In
which the three legislative nominee;
are to be selected generally give Re
publican majorities, SO that the Union
lists are opposed to complying with ths
desires of the Regulars. 1t might be
that the difficulty encountered in Sc
lecting these nominees would result il
the obliteration of the present com
promise ticket, with no harmony ii

Holiingsworrh Go.
James Carmichael, superintendent of
the Harlan Il Hollingsworth Go. g ma
chine shops, died on Saturday after a
lingering illness, ut his residence. No.
S05 West street. He was stricken with
paralysis about two years ago, but
rallied and until within few months
was in comparatively good health. lie
had been very sick for several weeks,
however, complication of diseases
having developed. and, while death
was rather sudden, it was not wholly
unexpected.
James Carmichael was born in Bal
timore, Md, in 1929. He learned the
trade of machinist and marine engi-
neer. For awhile he was engineer of
the steamship General Mcdonald, run
ming on the Delaware River.

Harlan & Hollingsworth Co. as jour

give up active duties.

Council from the Fifth ward, on the
Democratic ticket, in September, 1879,
and served until June, 1882. After
wards he was appointed member Of
tho Water Commission and served five
years. In 1894 he was the Democratic
nominee for sheriff Of New Castle
county, but the entire ticket was de-
feated at that election.
Mr.. Carmichael leaves widow and
five children-Alfred, DIR. George r.

this part of the country to be ruled in
SUCH way and that part of the
country to be governed in another.
You see, it is only natural for dago
to Jerk out his knife, while cool,
calm Swede would behave in an en-
rirely different way. They've got to
consider climates and the dispositions
Of people. That is what | call arbi-
tration, and I'm glad, miss, as how you
agree with me, and I'll mover be in
any war again, no matter who it is for
or what it is for. No, stree! Pm
going home to the little farm that my
father left me, and, begging your
pardon, miss, there's a girl that / has
took a mighty liking to, and think
about the end of the year they'll all
be making quilts around the neighbor-
Virginia reel to the tune OF Love
Makes the World Go Round. Good-by,
miss. You We been mighty good to me,
and am very much obliged to you,
and only hope that there will never
be a time in your life when you'll
need quinine.
Aren't you glad this cruel war is
over? do believe all Of us are glad,
men, women and children. We cheered
the soldiers as they marched out SO
gayly, but there are not quite SO many
cheers as each regimentreturns. Some
of those who have come back tell their
little children of the wonders of
war and the marvels Of the strange
country where they have been, but
there are those who don't come back
to- tell Of the glory of the war and
its story--those who are martyrized.
Thank God that women do make
martyrs of men when they are dead
It's a soft spot in the heart of each
woman that makes noble the man who
before his death was merely ordinary.
His picture is draped in Grape and
hangs where the little children will see
it, and they will be told how good and
how brave their father was. Death
was good to that man. He left a
woman who idealized him and little
children who find in his memory,
since they accept that memory as given
by their mother, all that is fine and
noble and worth following. ia
Death is great idealist. He makes
beautiful that which lacked beauty
and brings forward perfect loveliness
where indifference or even dislike may
have existed. Therefore death is moi
altogether bad. 1t is only the meeting
Of 1t. 1t it only knowing how to be
brave enough to go forward in your
turn, make your bow, greet death as
you should and go to the place called
home. Where is yours? Where is
mine? Can you tell the home that is
| to be the everlasting resting place Of
the gay, laughing girl, of the happy,
noble boy, of the patriotic soldier anc
| the brave sailor? Where is it? Mo-
one of these can describe it, anc
neither can Bah.

''Life and Society in Old Cuba" is
the title of an article in the Century,
made up of extracts from the journals
of Jonathan S. Jenkins, written in
1859. Mr.. Jenkins says: In Havana
the strangers attention is arrested by
the vendors of lottery tickets, who
stand on the street corners with pair
of shears in one hand, and sheets of
lottery tickets on the other, ready to
are very adroit, and are apt to per-
suade the credulous that they will
draw fortune in the scheme. These
licensed lotteries are one of the great
evils there, especially to the Spanish
people, who seem to be born gamblers,
and for whom the chances of dice,
cards, and lottery tickets appear to
have an irresistible charm, all classes
in Havana dealing in them habitually.

The sudden outbreak of Indian hos
tilities in the Northwest came upon
the people of the country as great
surprise. There had been no intima-
tions of the uprising at least outside
of its immediate locality-and the first
news conveyed to the general public
was of the savage battle which resulted
in severe losses to the regular forces of
the United States. -
According to adyices from Washing
ton, the trouble with these murderous
redskins at Bear Island, Mimi, origi-
mated about eight months ago, when
an attempt was made by Deputy Mar
shall Warren of the White Earth Agency
to arrest Chief Bush Ear and nine OF
his tribesmen for resisting an officer Of
the United States government. Three
or four of the Indians were charged
with che illicit sale of whisky, and
the others were wanted as witnesses.
All but Bush Ear surrendered and were
tried at the Duluth term of the United
States District Court. Some were SEN
fenced to sixty days in Jail and others
got off with thirty days. Bush Ear
kept out Of the way and threatened
Marshal O'Connor and his deputies
with death should they come within
800 yards of him. The young warriors
promised to follow his lead. On the
regular government pay day, two weeks
ago, Bush Ear was among the first to
apply for money. Deputy Marshal
Morrison had the old warrant ready,
and seized him and companion.
Bush Ear was allowed to confer with
some of the Bear Island Indians before
hwas taken to the reservation Jail,
and at night they affected the release
of their chief, and all escaped to Bear
Island. Here they stirred up the re-
mainder of the tribe to resistance.
The Pillager and other neighborine
Indians of the White Earth reservation
claim to have many reasons for their
outbreak, although the direct trouble
comes from the liquor selling cases,
Their grievances go back through many
years, and there have been Legislative
and other attempts to settle them else
where. One of the latest grievances is
| tho Nelson law regarding tho sale Of
| the timber on the Indian lands.
But whatever may be the merit Of
their complaints, the Indians will find,
as before, that they adopted the worst
| plan of seeking redress when they went
to war. AS has always been the case,
they will be suppressed by force Of
arms, and the BUSINESS of their caust
will be obscured by the lust for venge
ance and the hatred engendered b,
their murderous acts of reprisal

Atlantic City, N. j., Oct. S.-The
most costly block of amusement build
ings and stores on the beach front was
destroyed by fire early this morning,
within two hours of the time the fire
broke out. Twenty buildings occupied
by about SO business establishments
were burned, and half dozen families
were rendered homeless. The loss is
estimated at 100000.
For time, the confagration threat
ened to get beyond the control of the
local fire department, and assistance
from Camden and Philadelphia was
asked An hour later, two steamers
arrived from Camden, but the request
for the engines from Philadelphia was
cancelled before they had been put on
the train.
The burned district covers the block
extending from Tennessee to New
York avenues, and from Ocean avenue
to the beach front. In the confines Of
the block, two large merry go rounds,
valued at $4,000 each, two of the
largest bric-a-brac emporiums in the
city, each carrying a stock valued at
nearly $50, 600, and the Palace Amuse-
ment Building, recently erected at
cost of $50, 900, were located. Consider
able ware and bric-a-brac in the two
large emporiums were saved, but the
carousal buildings, with their contents,
except the orchestrions, were destroyed.
The fire started in Nipples & Nc
CAMS bathhouse, frame structure
having q depth of $50 feet. 1t origi-
mated in the boiler room shortly before
o'clock. The bathhouse was sur
rounded by many frame buildings; and
within 20 minutes there WIS full acre
of seething flame. A breeze from the
sea drove the fire toward the city, but
sudden change of the wind sent the
flames toward the sea, and directly
over the boardwalk. The fremen were
thus enabled to check the progress of
the fire cityward, and confine it to the
block in which it originated. The fire
was completely under control at 8
O'Clock.
The principal losses are: Casino
Merry -go-round Building, owned by
| Congressman John Gardner and County
Collector Leonard Albertson, 1926, 600;

PAID OFF ANOFuRLouGHED.
Delaware Boys Receive Their Pay froi
Uncle San, for Last Month.

Uncle Sam for Last Month.
The First and Second Battalions of
the First Delaware Regiment were
paid off at the Armory on Friday for
the month OF September and each man
was furloughed for 30 days. Major
George G. Stewart, the paymaster began
paying the men about o'clock in the
afternoon. Co. L, which contains
numerous Newark residents, was the
first company to enjoy the handling of
fresh, crisp notes.
A stop WINS made for supper and
Major Stewart resumed his work about
8 O'Clock. Shortly after 10 o'clock he
had finished. There was something very
fascinating in the way he handled the
money. Tho method was to pay one
company at a time. Standing near the
table were Major Stewart had paper
money and coins conveniently placed
before him, the captain Of the company
would call the names of his men from
one roll book and the paymaster' s
clerk would announce the amount due
each, from another book. The major
handled the money SO rapidly that he
often was ready for the soldier before
the latter had taken the few PAGES to
the table.
Occasionally soldier had very
small amount coming to him, and a
few received nothing, all having been
Swallowed up in fines or deductions.
When each company assembled to be
paid off. the following general orders
were read: -
upon payment the men of this
regiment will be on furlough and can
proceed to their respective homes.
"Supper this evening will be the last
meal served, and the Armory will be
closed after tonight, except for office
work.
"Offieers will leave their addresses
with the adjutant and captains viii
secure the addresses of the men Of
| their companies.
"On furlough, officers and men may
wear uniforms or citizens clothing al
| will.
"Men retained here for duty will ge
their meals at Ainscow's and will Sc
cure tickets for that purpose from
Lieut.. Alexander, the commissar.
