BULLET THROUGH HIS HEART
Thomas G. Mcbride Suicides at a
Boarding House on
Fourth Street.
HE WAS TIRED OF LIVING
Was a Machinist by Trade and His
Wife and Family Reside in PhiIa.
delphia. Dependency As
signed as the Cause
of the Act.

The report of a revolver followed by
falling body attracted the attention o
John P. Raisbeck, of No. 302 East Fourtl
street about $40 O'Clock yesterday after
noon.
Hurriedly completing his toilet h,
notified the family of Aaron S. Loose, o.
No. 3O4 East Fourth street, of the occur
renee.
Mr.. Loose keeps boarding house ant
he quickly ascended the stairs to the bed
room of Thomas g. Mcbride.
On entering the apartment he almos
stumbled over McBride's PROSTATE form
and hastily lighting the gas soon ascer
tanned that the occupant had taken hi
life.
Directly over his heart was bulle
wound and his right hand still clutchei
an old style five barrel revolver which
carried q tbirty-two crlibre cartridge.
The body was placed on his bed and
a physician who was summoned stated
that death had been instantaneous.
A search of the room revealed the fact
that Mcbride had left note written in
hardly legible hand as follows:
- ohouAA hoPPOA w VIC III Ouls
house want my son Silas to have all
my effects.
THos. G. MCBRIDE"
Mcbride was 72 years of age and has
been boarding at the house for some
time. He was machinist by trade and
up to within a few weeks ago was EN-.
ployed at the p, W. & B. railroad shops.
He was compelled to quit work owing
to ill-health and since then had been
supported by the secret societies OF
which he was a member
His wife and four children, two sons
and two daughters, reside in Philadel.
phia, and the old man had not lived
with them for some time.
This fact and his continued sickness,
it isthought, preyed on his mind and
during fit of temporary alteration he
took his own life.
Deputy Coroner Chandler was notified
and will investigate the case.

ADDRESS.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 3
The opportunities Of the public at large
to vote for the man of their choice for
United States Senator are conspicuous
for their absence.
The Sun offers an opportunity for
everybody to express an opinion as to
who is the best man to represent the
interests of the Diamond State in the
councils of the nation.
This is an opportunity that has never
before been accorded to the people of
any State within the history Of the
nation.
The plan is simple.
Fill out the coupon at the head OF this
column and send it to The Sun. We pub
lish the number of votes received by each
candidate every day in order to keep the
voters posted. w.,
The Sun also makes this offer: The
winner in this contest has the privilege
of naming any charity in the State to be
the recipient of one hundred dollars,
which will be paid to the said charity by
The Sun.
The contest will continue until the
first ballot is taken in the Legislature.
There is no law or requirement which
makes it necessary for you to sign your
name to your ballot, though we would
rather you would. They will be counted
just the same, however, ii you do not
wish your opinions known. rs.
Send in your ballot and help win that
800 for some deserving charity.
All votes credited to each contestant
do not necessarily represent all the votes
received for each contestant. They
merely represent those that are counted
up to II midnight Of the day preceding

PROPOSED CHANGE.
Roads Of Railway Companies to be
Raised From Their Present Beds
in a Short Time.

It is said that Delaware road cut of
and Shellpot cut off will be raised from
their present muddy and low bed fully
15 feet. This will be considerable inn
provement over the present low condi-
tion of the road.
Surveyors have been over the site of
the proposed change and are reported as
having been favorably impressed with
the idea Of raising the road bed.
This will be an extensive undertaking,
as the raise will extend entirely to Edge
Moor.
Plans are being perfected for laying q
siding from the main line Of the p,
w. & B. railroad into Melchoir's- coal
yard at Pine street.

WILL PROTEST MAULL'S SEAT.
DR.. H. II. Burton Will Fight His
Democratic Opponent in the
State Senate.

Some little surprise was caused in pol
litical circles yesterday when it was
stated on good authority that DR.. Hiram
r. Burton, recent Republican nominee
for State Senator in the Fifth Senatorial
District, of Sussex county, had filed with
State Senator-elect Franklin G. Maull,
Democrat, notice of a protest of the
latter's election to the State Senate.
During the counting of the ballots by
Associate Judges Grubb and Boyce, Of
the Superior Court, DR.. Burton gave
notice that he contested the election OF
Mr.. Maull and alleged that certain
ballots had been illegally thrown out by
the inspectors OF the First and Second
election Districts of the Tenth Represen-
tative district.
Subsequently DR.. Burton Withdrew
from the contest and maull was declared
elected BY majority of twelve votes.
The contested seat will now prove an
interesting one from the fact that exclud-
ing Mr.. Maull there are eight Democrats
and similar number Of Republicans in
that body.
Coroner.Elect Vandever Bonds.
In the Superior Court yesterday morn
ing Coroner.elect Vandever gave bond to
the amount of $1,000, William E. Haw-
kins and W. Scott Vernon becoming his

deity deposit Company of Baltimore,
which was refused on Thursday as surety

ity for the bondsmen.
Mr.. Vandever will assume his duties
ON January l, 1899, with Ferris Giles as
his undertaken and deputy. The coroner
will have the direct supervision of all
inquests, as he believes in giving his per.
sonal attention to all cases that come
within his Jurisdiction.
He is ut present contemplating having
an Office up town, and will apply to the
Levy Court for telephone connections.
Coroner Vandever will 20 to the next
Legislature and urge the passage Of an
act creating fund for the purpose of
some port of coffin or casket
