. A NARROW ESCAPE.
Ex-Co"gres~ma" John A. Nicho'soa
Meets with a Serious Accident.

Ex-Co"gressman John A. Nicholson
7 Meets With Serious Accident,
Special to 'rHE stS.
Dover, April .. = Ex-Congfessinan
John A. Nicholson, father Of Chancellsr
Nicholson, had a narrow escape from
being crushed to death beneath a team
on Loockerlnan street this morning.
For several years past Mr.. Nicholson,
who is over 20 years of age, has been in
the habit OF riding around town on y
bicycle, and has attracted much atten-
ton from strangers in the city on account
OF his age, as he is probably the most
elderly wheelman in the State Of Della
ware.
During the morning he was riding
around town as usual, when he wheeled
into bunch of teams and was compelled
to SLOW up so that he lost his equilibrium,
and before he could alight his wheel
toppled over and he was thrown under
the feet of team driven by James En-
mis-, a farmer residing near Cowgill's
corner.
When Mr.. Nicholson was picked up it
was found that he had escaped injury
from he team. but when he attempted
to walk he found that one of his feet was
useless. He was conveyed to his home
and DR.. p. S. Downs was summoned,
who discovered that he had sustained l.
fracture Of the ankle bone, the injury
being sustained by the efforts he made to
prevent himself from falling to the
ground when his bicycle topped over.
Owing to MIR. Nicholson's extreme age
it il doubtful if he will ever recover the
use OF his foot, although the doctor
claims he will be able to get about on
crutches in about weeks time

He will be missed not only in the home, but by friends and fraters numberless to whom his bright smile and cheerful words and hopeful thoughts were ever an lnspira- tion and a benediction. The male quar- tette which sang at the funeral ser vices for Dr. Futile was composed Of Messrs. Bartlett, Barnes, Burtis and Coggins. Miss Halsey played the Mendelssohn funeral march.

DEATH OF NJ. WORMSER.
An Early Resident Of Whom Little
 Was Known

Nj. Wormser died yesterday morning after a prOtracted illness, though dur ing the most of it he was able to be about the street His only living rel ative so far as is known and so far as he knew is a niece living some where in California, though he never saw her. He leaves a large estate be- Neved by many who are more familiar with his business affairs to exceed $300,000. It consists principally of lands in the valley, acquired many years ago when they were very cheap.
 MT. Wormser was probably the old est living resident of the territory. He was a native of France and was 64 years old. He came to the coast more than thirty years ago and visited LOS Angeles at time when Spring street was occupied by corrals. Thinking the town was without a future he came to Arizona aud engaged in merchandising at Wickenburg in 1863. He moved to the Salt River valley with almost the first development of this section. There was no other man in Phoenix whose face and figure was so familiar and there was probably no other of whose life so little was known, and there cer- sainly was none other who was SC grossly misunderstood. On account ot ais uncommunicativenes his simple and coarse dress he was believed to ba miserly. But those who did business with him and knew him best say that his was an opposite character and that he gave away in charity every ysal more than any other man in the . county. lie did net give indiscrimi- nately or ostentatiously. The benef- eiaries were people whom he knew tc De worthy and were generally those with whom he had been acquainted years ago. It is said that for years he had been the main, if not the sole sup port. of a half dozen families.
 The funeral will take place at 10 s'ciock this morning.

A GREAT DRAMATIC EVENT.
" Pudd'nhead Wilson," Olympia
Theater. Tuesday Night.

Said VIM. L. Malley who is here
preparing for the coming of Mark
Twain's Puddnhead Wilson," at
the theater, next Tuesday night /:
d" Never was the old saying more
truthfully illustrated, "a rose by any
other name would smell as sweet
than it is, in the play the late Frank
Mayo made of Mark Twain's Missouri
story, the one which it pleased that &C.
centric humorist to call Pudd'nhead
Wilson," No one could maintain that
the name of itself is prepossessing. In
fact, in the ears of many polite peo-
pie, it carries Objectionable impress
sions; yet after you have seen that
misunderstood old Missouri philoso-
pher Dave Wilson," who is by his
neighbors good naturally called a
"pudd after you have seen
this pathetically patient and wittily
wise old village lawyer good naturally
plod along, knowing that he was mis-
understood by his neighbors, but too
proud to take up his own defense {;
after you have seen him wait % years
for his first law case, and then seen
him triumphantly win it, by the
proofs he found in the lines, whorls,
loops, curves and hourishes that
adorn the ball of the thumb of every
human being, and in winning the
case vindicates his theory that these
dumb prints were physical signatures
which had been strong factor in
making the simple village neighbors
believe he was "pudd'nhead,"
namely: That no two thumbs in the
world would make an impression pre-
cisely alike; when you see the Old
lawyer unravel the mystery of the
murder and demonstrate to his neigh
