One of the saddest tragedies it has
been the province of the Post to
chronicle. was that by which John
Handley lost his life near Metz Satur
day afternoon.
He was just upon the threshold Of
life, only about u years of age, TIN
son of Robert Handley, the well
known farmer and stockman of Metz
and one OF Vernon's best citizens.
He had been chasing wolf ami
ran the animal into a hole. Will

laid his.'shotgun on the ground by
his side and in hurriedly taking il up
again by some unexplained means
one barrel was discharged, the con-
tents penetrating the unfortunate
young mans left side.
His companions FASTENED TO his
aid but they could do little. He was
taken home and physicians summon
ed, but the most earnest efforts were
unavailing. Death resulted in few
hours.
The body was buried at Metz Sun

The sad occurrence has cast a
gloom over theentire community and

pers drawn that the company would
sprinkle all streets over which ifs

the directors to the Wilmington City

Under the original grant of the Will

was no stipulation regarding the

When the Wilmington City Railway

that the company should sprinkle

San Francisco. June 17.-Cordelial

amount of fees demanded by Delaware
medical experts for their attendance at
the womans second trial. Mrs. Bot

per diem of S25 and travelling eX-
penses, allowing sixty days for the
trip. In addition TO this, the State
will have to stand the expense of a
dozen other witnesses whose testimony
is essential.
The district attorney believes one
/ physician would be enough to establish
his case, but Judge Cook, to whom the
matter was referred, positively refused
to sanction such large expenses on the
part of the State.
Unless some arrangement can be
made with the State of Delaware to
share the expenses, Mrs. Botkin may
go free. although there is no doubt oi
her guilt.
Her second trial was gained simply
on a technical point that the judges
charge contained matter that should
not have been included.
