Passed Away.

At six o'clock Tuesday evening, jan
uary 9th, 1900, at the residence of An
drew Depeel, EuphTona DeVinney
died, after a week of intense suffering
from pneumonia, aged 20 years. Flone,
as she was always called, was fayorite
with the young people, a pleasant, most
amiable young lady, but never in the
best Of health. Her parents both dy-
ing with consumption, she inherited
weak lungs and it is probable her life
would have been short one at the
most. AT the age of three she went to
live with her uncle and aunt Mr.. and
Mrs. Moses Hallead and after several
years she worked in the families of A.
w. Ferguson, +. II. Beecher and
others, being always well-liked. For
year or more she has been in the fam
lily of Andrew Depeel, where she found
a good home and where she was tender
ly cared for in her sickness Only one
brother is left to mourn the loss of
devoted, affectionate sister. After
short service at the house by Rev. Nc
Call, of whose church deceased was a
member, the remains were taken to
North Branch for burial.
As briefly announced in last weeks
Expositor the only child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Burton Menerey, died at their
home in Pontiac Tuesday, January 2,
1900, at the age of 2 years, 10 months
and days. Little Rhea had been sick
last summer and was regaining her us
ual health when she was suddenly
taken sick and only lived q couple Of
days, although everything was done by
her parents TO save her. The remains
OF the loved one were brought to Yale
and the funeral held from the Menerey
cemetery

George Wilson Of this city, lit Linwood.
Pa, on Tuesday, was arraigned in City
Court yesterday when he waived the

agreed to go to Chester without requisi-

Walter FL. Hayes Tells Some Start
Facts at Big Meeting in
Ninth Ward.

Despite the cold weather last evening
Il large Republican open air mass meet
ing was held at Elliott avenue and Mar
ket street. About 800 people listened to
the speeches made by the orators.
"Dr. Il. G. Shortlidge called the meet
ing to order and introduced the speakers.
He made short address referring to
the Democratic administration and said
that he did not believe anyone would
support the Democratic cranks in his
ward. He said it is an outrage for
Salisbury Biggs and Gray to talk about
anti-imperialism and anti-expansion.
Mayor A. NJ. Hancock of Baltimore,
spoke of the grand prosperity this coun-
try is in mt the present time. "Look at
the new mills that We're started in the
first six months Of this year,. 1874 cotton,
20 wollen, % knitting and 9~silk and
finishing mills. This is the greatest
manufacturing country in the world
John L. Nealds made short address
on the paramount issue and said if Mr..
Bryan is elected it means the disfran-
chisement of ten million solorcd people
in this country. He also stated that
most everyone was aware that Bryan
would be here next week.
John Hum, candidate for Governor,
arrived while Mayor Hancock was
speaking and received great applause.
He said that if elected he would do his
duty.
Walter II. Hayes stated that one of
Mr.. Bryan's platforms was to abolish
trusts. He then said
THE Democratic party has trust in
Delaware at the present time. Look at
the number of tax collectors they have
in this county where two or three would
be sufficient. Who must pay their
salary? Why no one but the taxpayers.
And number of other officers that are
not needed. If the Republican party
would get control of the State the tax
payers would not be compelled to pay
such enormous taxes. 1t is an outrage.
There is still $4,000 in taxes outstanding
which will never be collected as it is in
the hands of the trust

IMPORTANT CLUE.
Gun Wad Found in Eyre's Skull
May Solve Murder Mystery.
1t Was Bought at Same Store Where
James Pierce Bought Most of
His Ammunition and
Shells.

The finding of gun wad has furnished
an important clue i'll the Eyre murder
case ut Chester. This w;ld was Il part
of the gruesome effects of the murdered
young sportsman iii the possession OF
Chief OF Police Berry of Chester, and is
believed to have been taken from the
skull Of the dead gunner with the charge
Of shot that killed him, by the surgeons,
who conducted the post-mortem at
Bridgeport. 1t was picked mp Tuesday
evening in the City Hall yard, Chester,
during the burning of Eyre's clothing,
the rope with which his body was bound
and other silent evidences Of the crime.
The wad contained the name of Pal
mer Brothers, Il hardware firm of Ches-
ter. which handled gunners' supplies and
points to indisputable evidence that the
man who committed the crime secured
his shells at the Chester store.
w w. Gayley, Il member Of the firm,
was asked yesterday whether in the
course of trade he remembered having
sold ammunition to James Pierce. His
answer was, "Yes, we sold James Pierce
most all of his supplies and generally
loaded shells. Sometimes he loaded the
shells himself, but he bought his ammu.
milton ut this store for some time"
| Chief berry is more firmly convinced
| that he was on the right tls't.k OF the
murderer all the time and he will keeI
that little tell tale waT from gun fol
the rest of his life and says he will ever
| believe thar when all the little things
are put together in the case as he knows
them, there will be but one conclusion il
the matter and that conclusion each man
can arrive ut himself.

PLAYED A DESPERATE CARD
Single Tax Ticket Not swamped
By Electors Resigning.

Clever scheme. Bryan Will

Votes by it.

1t is said that the movement to have
Messie. John Fl. Rodney, William G.
Posties aad William l.. Cannon, the
Democratic nominees for Presidential
electors decline to serve on the Single
Tax ticket, was nothing more than lasi
and desperate card of the Democrats tC

to give up the idea OF fling Sac and
county ticket.

tors was served on Clerk of the Peace
Foard on Tuesday, the last day for flung
the ticket, after the difficulties put in
the path of the Single Takers the day be-.
fore, it was fondly hoped 1t would throw
down the Single Tax ticket.
Toe Single Takers were uudismayed,
however and had prepared themselves
for all kinds of schemes intended to
block their ticket.
The ticket was duly filed at last. l., /.
handy is charged win pelng one of the
men who planned the clever scheme to
get the electors to resign, and thus
swamp the ticket. After he saw he could
not dictate to the Single Takers.
In an interview he said: "The Demo-
cratic candidates for Presidential electors
have resigned from the so called Single
Tax ticket. Their names were used on
that ticket entirely without authority.
Our State Committee and Courty Com
mittee united in requesting the electors
to refuse the use OF their names to tn S
spurious committee which has gotten up
a cut throat ticket under the pretense Of
advancing Single Tax. This resignation
of the electors will not cost Mr.. Bryan a
vote in Delaware. Ii is more likely to
increase his vot".
"rhe action OF our candidates for cleo
tors has my hearty endorsement and ap-
proval, and doubt not it will be ap-
proved by every genuine friend OF MIR.
