MURDERER IN THE LEAST AND

Charles Wilson, who has been con-
fined in the City Hall, in Wilmington, is
not Thorn. This fact has been clearly
proved beyond doubt. About mine
days before Farra was murdered, Will
son, who was brought from Peters
burg, Va, by Detectives NIcVey and
Wftsil, made up his mind that he want
ed to return to his native state, and
when he had secured a permanent posi-

of the stove he replied in answer TO

left the same night. AS he did not have
much money, he travelled by freight
trains. He is a much lighter man than
Thorn, is about five feet, eight inches
in height and has a scar on his thumb,
caused by getting cut while in the en-
ploy of Joseph Snavely, who was fire
man of the bell welding department Of
the Delaware Iron Works.
George Hutt, a prisoner who is se1Y-
ing a sentence for the murder OF the
man Benson, az Delaware City, told
some persons in the city, whose names
by the way are unattainable at present.
that he let Thorn in house on Clay

in order for him TO change his cloth

murder. Now the question has come up
as to what right prisoner has to have
any keys In his possession which would
admit him to houses In the town, when
he Is supposed to be serving a sentences
for the crime Of murder.
Il is the general consensus of opinion
here, that Wilson is not the man. has
no connection whatever with the case,
and that the bringing him back 10

identify him, was entirely unnecessary.
His wife is the daughter of the late

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by lady in this
country. Disease fastened it's clutches
upon her and for seven years she
withstood its severest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed incsssantly, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered way to
recovery, by purchasing of us bottle of
DR.. Kings New Discovery for Consump.
ton, and was so much relieved on taking
first dose, that she slept all night; and
with two bottles, has been absolutely
cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz.'

ENTHUSIASTIC AT CAMP.

P1TMEN GROVE, N. J., August. s-1he
$1,000 visitors of yesterday at Pitman
campmeeting was reduced to 1000 to. day
but there was not an iota of diminution
In the enthusiasm. From the sunrise
service at 5 o'clock until the last altar
service of the day at 10 o'clock this even
ing. the shouting and singing was con-
tinuous. Between the services at noon to-
day and supper time this evening, the
meetings were of the most inspiring
character, and during these respites
from labor the cottagers kept up the
singing and shouting in their homes.
At the sunrise service, led by Evange-
list E. L. Hyde, there were 400 enthused
worshippers. Some sought sanctification
and others sought salvation. There were
about 800 people at the Bible reading, led
by DR.. E. 1. D. Pepper, at O'Clock, and
many of these related experiences. Rev.
w. D. Nichols preached the morning ser.
mon, his subject being, 1.-THE gift of God
to those who come to Him." The chill
dren's meeting was more than ordinarily
interesting. There was special band of
boys and girls who furnished music, and
many of the little folks related their ex-
periences.
The old folks at the holiness service at
noon and the vesper service tonight wore
equally as earnest. They sing the old
Methodist hymns in the old way. No
organ accompanied the singing and they
don't want it. Rev. Seth Rees, the Ohio
Quaker, who succeeds the lamented
David B. Updegraft, arrived here this
afternoon and preached his first sermon
in the camp. Rev. W. S. Zane, of Will
liamstown, preached the evening sermon
on "Faith.'

go there' His notion was strongly fixed
When Harry Gosbin, with whom Schanck
boarded, was interviewed.
Schanck had returned to his boarding
place early yesterday morning, and told
Gosbln that he had seen this girl talking
to an officer down town. He denied that
he had actually assaulted the girl, but
ACKNOWLEDGED that he had been with her.
he was anxious to know if he could be
arrested Mr. Gosbin did not care to ex-
press an opinion concerning the mattel,

guessed he would skip out.
he thereupon took his bicycle and rode

young fellow rode to his home in Ham

to the station agent there His orders
were explicit. He said that he wanted
Schanck arrested on sight,
The station agent Immediately notified
Constable Carton, and he started to hunt
for the man. He found him in hiding at
the home of his relatives, and he quietly
submitted to arrest.

Schanck continued to run. Then Con-

He was then taken to Jail.

The authorities here will send a con-

BARN STRUCK. HORsEKILLED,
Lightning Passes into Barn, Kills Horse
and Stuns a Bow,

j. Il
and Stuns a Boy.
Wednesday, during the shower
bolt of lightning passed into the barn
OF DR.. Jacob Streets, on East Commerce
street. and kille his horse.
Walter Ackley, boy, was in the stable
attending to the horse when the bolt
came. He had just stood his pitchtork
in the corner, and was about to leave the
stable. The bolt struck the horse in the
head, killing it Instantly. The horse and
boy both dropped.
The boy was rendered unconscious by
the shock. and lay beside the horse. DR..
Streets thought the barn had been struck,
and went out to see what had happened.
He picked up the boy and carried him
into his Office, where he applied restora-
tives, and after awhile the lad revived.
The same bolt passed into the Doctors
yard, and split large tree. The barn
was not injured to any great extent,
board or two being split.
The boy, whois about twelve years old,
was down town after he was able to walk
and said after he became conscious again
from the shock his legs to his knees and
both arms felt the effect of the shock. and
were numb.
