Buress Burton Found Dead in the Carrot
Of His Residence. ..-
BureHs Burton, aged 80 years, com
mitted suicide on Friday ny hanging
himself in the garrett of his residence,
No. ll0 Washington street. He has
been melancholy at times and for
several days past would mot partake Of
his meals without considerable ooaxing
from the en- bers OF tho family.
Mrs. Margaret Burton, the widow,
stated that no arose as usual Friday
morning and after securing morning
paper took of his shoes and went up
stairs She paid no attention to him,
thinking that he was going to read.
The last she saw OF him was when no
went up stairs at 7.30 O'Clock, and
when she went uD stairs at II o'clock
to place away some Of the clothing OF
the children, found him in stopping
posture She called to him, and on
going closer found rope about his
neck.
Mrs. Burton then called her eldest
son, Robert, who was asleep in the
room below, and informed him that his
father had hanged himself. He then
ran out and called in DR.. Pisrce, and
the latter pronounced life extinct and
cut the man down. The body when
found was suspended by small rope
and the Indications are that he planned
| the matter with deliberation and that
he made sure of strangling himself.
His legs were bent and his banda were
down by his side, the latter almost
touching the floor.
The deceased leaves wife and 81,
children, the eldest of whom is g
years and the youngest 10 years of age.
He was employed as a teamster for !!
years by Robert s. Smith, but ha!
been out of employment for some time

on his mind, and it has only 6eer

Recognizing that in the death Of
Charles Baird the workers of tho Della
ware State Sunday school Association
have met with disastrous calamity,

mated through the principles that he
consistently and porsiHtentiy advocated +;
and wo look TO God with gratitude for
having given US such all example OF
cheerful faith and readiness in just
su3h emergencies us tho present; there
fore, DO it
Resolved, By the officers and man
bers of ths cplnmitteea of the Della
ware State Sunday school Association,
that while recognizing our irreparable
losa and the almost impossibility OF
finding a worker 10 take his place with
the combination of ability and willing
noss that he puausaBed In 60 remarkable
Il degree, yet i'll the same confidence he
possessed that the Master will always
find workers for the Sunday school
cause, wo believe that the work of tbs
Stnte association will move onward and
we, inspired by his example, dedirate
ourselves anew to the cause of Bible
education for tho youth which was &c
dear to his heart; therefore,
Resolved. That We extend our sym
pathy to his bereaved family and out
of the darkness OF tbs hour, we, with
them, catch CLEAN of brightness from
his favorite expression: | am the
Resurrection and the Life; he that he
lieveth On Me, though he were dead,

NEW ELECTRICAL CLocH.

A New Electrical movement Perfected
Which shows Very Accurate Results in
Time-keeping.
After years of experimenting, an
electrical clock movement has heen per-
fected which overcomes all clock diff
culties existing in the past. The
new electrical clock of the Now York
STANDARD Watch Co. is one Of the won
durs of inventive genius, and bids fair
to revolutionize clock mechanism alto
gether. ,## !,
Because of tho ingenious and original
method by which power is applied in
the new elactric clock the makors are
enabled to obtain more nearly accurate
time than is possible with any other
clock movement Tho best makers of
mechanical clocks consider that varia
tion OF second day is very close
running. The electric clocks have
shuwn remarkable results when put to
severe and usual tests The United
States government found it impossible
| to get any CLOCKS to run satisfactorily
| in the tnwer of their New York quarters.
| The tower is $50 feet high, and sways
continually, the oscillations being very
excessive in high winds. All the various
makes OF clocks that we're tried gave
tOuhle, With the exception of the new
electric clock. Many of the ordinary
| timepieces would not run at all, even on
calm days. AT the end of GO days one
of the new electric clouks had varied
! less than GO seconds.
Tho ordinary sealed dry cells, as used
| for door bolls, &C., furnish the motive
power for these clocks. They ars con
cealed within the clock case, and will
| give good service for at least one and q
| half years when they may no renewed
ct an expense OF about 20 cents.
The electric clock, the mnDufactui erH
claim to he without question, the
clock of the future" The movement
ia extremely simple. consisting of an
eleutr o. magnet and its armature. so ar
ranged aa to give occasional impulses to
the pendulum whenever an automatic
switch closes the battery circuit. Eheae
IMPULSES do not occur at fixed intervals,
but their frequency varies with varia-
tiuns in tho strength of the current.
| Therein lies the secret of the succeasful
| adaptation OF electricity to housekeeping,
aa the clock will continue to run when
the battery becomes old and exhausted.
AS the battery weakens. impulses occur
more frequently, automatically com
pensating far fluctuations in strength oil
current, and obtaining the greatest
economy in use al batteries. The pen
dulum for the most part is acted upon
by force of gravity only. Mutton is i'm
parted from the pendulum direct to the
going train by means Of rawl of the
simplest order.
