ROBBED AMONG THE DEAD
Pickpockets Ply Their Trade at
the Funeral of Delaware'S
Statesman.
THE VICTIMS ENTER COMPLAINT
United States Marshal Short, j. N.
Gambler and Henry Brown Re.
lieved of Purses Containing In
the Aggregate $15O.--Rail-
road Passes Gone.
THE VICTIMS ENTER COMPLAINT

In the presence OF death and whilst
the earthly remains of Hon. Thomas F.
Bayard were being lowered into the
grave at Old Swedes burial grounds yes
terday afternoon, vandals with deft
fingers were plying their criminal voca-
tion amongst the reverent and vast as
semblage who had gathered to pay their
last respects to Delaware's distinguished
statesman, jurist and diplomat.
Without conscience or fear of Creator
these members of the light-fingered
gentry had spread themselves judicious-
~ among the persons present and as far
as known at this present time succeeded
in relieving four of the number, who
stood with bowed and uncovered heads
beneath the blue canopy of Heaven, OF
their well-fHed pocketbooks. -,
So quiet were the movements OF the
pickpockets that none of their victims
were aware of what had occurred until
after the impressive burial ritual OF the
Episcopal Church had been completed
and they had left the burial grounds be-
hind them.
The first person to make complaint
at the police station was Henry Brown
of Greenville, DEL, and he informed
Captain of Police Kane that his purse
containing $75 in money and nur' Der
OF railroad passes had been stolen from
him.
A few minutes later j. n. Gambler OF
Petersburg, W. Va, entered the station
and stated that he also had his pocket
picked of a purse containing $50 and
railroad passes.
Neither of these gentlemen could give
description of any of the persons stand
ing around them at the time and the
police were unable to secure clue to the
identity of the thieves.
Early last evening United States Mar
shal Short notified Captain OF Police
Chambers that he, too, had been vic
tim of light fingers, and that his pocket
book containing $25 in money and rail
road passes had slipped from his posses
sion in mysterious manner.
1t is understood that the father OF
Assistant Postmaster Harry H. Billany
was another unwilling person who is
minus his purse.
Although a squad of police was pres
ent at the funeral, the crowd that was
in attendance was so great that they did
not notice any suspicious looking men
about. 1t is thought that they left the
city Immediately after the thefts had
been committed.

BAIARD.

Delaware, It's thine to weep,
Lo, thv loss indeed is great.
Thou couldst prize but couldst not keep,
Death hath left thee desolate;
Sit in silence, bow thy head,
Bayard, thy greatest son, is dead
No invention deity wrought,
Brought him plaudits or renown,
His no poets subtle thought.
His no warriors laurel crown,
His no victory on the seas,
Mighter deeds were his than these.
He attained the loftiest place
Ever gained by statesman strong,
Bound our ocean sundered race
Into one, till taunt or wrong
'Gainst the humblest Saxon hurled,
Rouses Saxons round the world.
Delaware, It's thine to mourn.
But it's thine to mourn in pride,
This, thine offspring from thee torn,
Stands transformed and gloritied,
And his fame shall rest secure
While the continents endure

Resolved, That the government having

sumed the responsibility OF protecting COM

revenues.
Resolved, That careful investigation of
actual conditions and a study of the GRIM
inal history OF various States demonstrates
clearly that the practice known as railway
ticket scalping is pernicious In its effects,
unfair in its results, is contrary to the
American spirit of fair play, is evasion
of the plain intent Of the interstate-com-
merce law as it reads and, therefore, the
practice should be Immediately abolished
by national legislation.
Resolved, That general railway condi-
lions, the superior character and low cost
of transportation service rendered by
American railroads and the evident desire
to cultivate spirit of cooperation and
reciprocity between mercantile and common
carrier industries, furnishes good reasons
for urging manufacturers, merchants and
commercial travellers everywhere to use
their influence, individually and collectively.
