Echoes Of the campmeeting will be
heard at meeting to be held In st.
Paul's Church, Wilmington, next Fri.
day night. All frequenters Of the camp
are invited to attend. The Rev. George
r. Tompkins, Mrs. Thomas Benson,
Mrs.'W. l.. Jordan and others who are
assisting here will contribute to the
programme.
It is predicted that the camp popu-
lace next season will be the largest for
many years. The electric railway to
be built from Wilmington to West
Chester will provide convenient trans
portation, which doubtless will greatly
increase the attendance. Already, the
campmeeting association is selling
many old tents, which will be replaced
by new ones before next summer.
Peter L. Layton, manager of St.
Paul's boarding department, received
telegram last night saying that his
brother had died at Harrington.

Ferrell In his hurry and excitement
while making up the express package.
The hotel keeper was able to give only
an imperfect description OF the strange
guest, because as he said, he was
too sleepy at the tins to take any Dar-
ticular notice Of him, After learning
Of tho express package. the detectives
at once telerhoned to Columbus and
had it Intercepted. The package was
opened. and the stolen sacks, contain
ing the money orders, checks and other
things which Terrell desired TO get rid
of, were found.
Chief of Detectives Kelley and De-
teotives O'Neil and Dupdon then set TO
work to run down the mysterious
stranger, who, they had become con-
WINGED, was an ex. employe Of the Adams
Terrell, and Information secured in re-
gard to bis movements during the last
three days was considered sufficient to
warrant his arrest. The detective first
went to his boarding place, and were
home of his sweetheart on the East
Side. They atonce went to the Costlow
residence, where they found Ferrell.
1t was n trying duty for tie detectives
when they were ushered into the room
where Terrell sat conversing with the
young lady. Terrell appeared annoyed
at the Intrusion. The detectives did
not breach the subject of the train
robbery, but told him that he was sus-
pected of a burglary, and that they
wished him to accompany them to the
police station, where the chief OF police

wrong scent, ? Terrell nerVed himself
and said with apparent composure:
II guess there must be some mis-
take.'
ne excused himself to the youne
lady, and accompanied the detective
to the city prison. On the way to tn
station the detectives told Feriell wha
be was wanted for and what they knew,
and he reluctantly admitted that hi
had committed the crime. AT thu
| police station written confession wa
taken by the chief OF police. Ferrel
tried to keep his nerve, but 1t was evi
dent that he had been under sever
strain. and thar he could not stand tn
ordeal much longer. He did not tell
connected story. Most Of the facts wer
brought out by questions, which b.
seemed to answer reluctantly. Severa
times he broke down. and when he wa
finally led to cell he was In stat
of collapse. he. then seemed to full
realize for the first time the awfu
nature Of his crime, and the fact tina
he will in all probability atone for J
with his own life.

had given the money to his sweethear
