UNKNOWN Man MAY HAVE BEEN
CRUELTY DONE TO DEATH

There seems to be a mystery surround
ing the corpse Of the man now lying in
the morgue whose multilated form was
found lying along the tracks Of the F.,
w. and b. railroad near Bellevue yester-
day. The man may have fallen from
freight train or he may nave been muir
dered. Circumstances point to both the
cries. 1t was at first hought that the un-
known man was a tramp who had fallen
from a freight train. but it was later dis
covered that there was a pool Of blood
and bloody stone found upon the plat
form of the freight station in Bellevue.
This gruesome evidence aroused the sus-
picion tnat the man had been murdered
and then laid along the tracks, as the
wounds on the body are on the right side
Of the head and appear as though they
might have been made 10y blunt weapon
similar to the bloody stone.
Detective Witsl went to Bellevue this
morning to investigate the case. but no
arrests have been made and the detective
is Of the opinion that the man met death
by accident.

A MALICIOUS ATTACK

We call the attention OF our readers
to the letter Of Horace w. Cause, vice
president OF the Harlan and Hollings-
worth Company, which appears in an
other column.
The plain statement Of Mr.. Cause in
the Evening Journal Of Monday has
brought TO light a trait which has been
ever present in the character of Ad-
dicks, and which shows how utterly un-
fit he is to represent the interests Of
Wilmington and the State Of Delaware.
From a party wrecker the gasman
now essays TO become a community
wrecker
Such an attack upon the well-known
Harlan and Hollingsworth Company,
or any other well-known concern, is
without parallel in our history, and
has caused thrill Of intense indlgna-
ton, not only in business circles. but
among the people of our city generally.
1t is timely warning 10 our people
of the danger which has threatened
US in the candidacy Of Addicks.

Special Dispatch to Evening journal
Milford. Jan. 23.-The fire-proof safe
at the Milford depot was broken open
last night by the use Of nitro-glycerine.
It was completely wrecked and the
contents scattered about. windows bro

George Baynum, the agent, says but
S12 or s13 were in the safe. and that
his papers were not molested.
Freight Agent Reynolds lives near

Cured at about 11.SO o'clock.
A gang of toughs went down the road
yesterday on a freight, some Of whom
are known to have been Wilmington

Delaware, Maryland and Virginia rail-
road.
Clayton has been communicated

NEWSPAPER OPINION
The Deadlock IN Delaware
PhlIadelphia Public ledger.

Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The Legislature Of Delaware in Joint
session yesterday took the seventh bal
lot for two United States senators,
there being no election. The vote was
substantially the same as on the first
ballot. j. Edward Addicks controls
sixteen members, the Regular Republi-
cans number thirteen, there are twen-
ty-two Democrats. and one unattached
Democrat, FarlOw, who supported Ad-
dicks in the last contest and who is
now voting fer one of the Democratic
caucus nominees, Kenney, and for John
G. Gray instead of Willard Salisbury.
One of the Addicks men was absent
yesterday and Addicks received fifteen
votes, and, as twenty-six was necessary
10 choice, he was eleven votes short
IL appears improbable that Addlcks
can be elected. Even should he at
tempt to deal with the Regulars on the
basis of his own election and that of a
Republican satisfactory to the Regu-
lars, 1t is improbable that he could
obtain sufficient votes to succeed, as
at least a half dozen Of the Regulars
have emphatically declared that under
no circumstances will they be party to
the triumph of Addicks. The support
ers OF the gasman have boasted that
4 the Regulars refuse to enter into
q combination with them they have in
reserve an arrangement with the Demo-
Gratis for the election OF Addicks and
Kenney. This brag is an old political
trick. and has proved Of no avail, in
asmuch as the Democrats declare
themselves to be unit in opposition to
any such scheme.
IL is, OF course, advisable that Della
ware should have full representation
In the United States Senate. but would
Addicks be representative man to oc-
cupy the seat OF a Clayton. a Bayard
1r a Gray? The issue In the last con-
test was really Addicks and anti-Ad-
dicks, and the "antis" won. They may
be unable TO agree upon the senators
10 be voted for, but they can agree to
prevent the election of Addicks. and
anyone familiar with popular senti-
ment in Delaware knows that public
opinion favOrs no election rather than
the election of Addicks. He has played
dog in the manger himself. and the
deadlock is just retribution for him.
His perpetual candidacy for senator
has divided the Republican party of
the State, and, while he has attracted
TO his cause some smart politicians. il
is noteworthy that the leading business
and professional men Of Delaware are
hostile to him. They resent his meth
DDS and deny his deserving. Addlcks
has not exhibited the strength that
was claimed for him, and his opponents
have every reason to be encouraged tC
maintain their position. Delaware is
now Republican State, and is enti.
tied TO the services Of two Republicans
In the United States Senate but IL this
can be brought about only by the elec.
tion Of Addicks, the Judgment of Della.

EARNINGS nF RAILROADS

According TO a computation made by
the Financial Chronicle, the gross re-
ceipts in 1900 Of the railroads, whose
reports=have been issutd, show an ihs
crease Of almost 500, 100000, or nearly
per cent These figures are based
on reports Of 113 roads. operating 107-
S33 miles, for the twelve months. on
which the gain is s64G69,l14, and re-
ports from 6S roads for IL months,
which report a gain Of s3493O,7O7, the
combined increase for these lines be-
ing sos, ,599,S21. The total mileage in
cluded in the figures is 163,214 miles,
an increase Of 5,496 miles, or 3h per
cent. Complete reports from the ap-
proximately 10000 miles OF road in
the United States, it is estimated,
would show a gain Of s125,0OO,OOO.
Total earnings as now compiled for
1900 are S1,297 S99,72 and as compared
with sS36,326.41S reported in 1894, since
which year the expansion in revenues
has been steady. In six years the in
crease in railroad gross receipts has
been s461 ,57S 900 on the roads included
in these figures. 147,SS7 miles Of line
being included in 1894, against 1924
miles last year. This is an apparent
gain Of 55 per cent. in operating in
come between these years, with last
years mileage about 10 per cent
larger than in 1894.
Gains by individual companies show
some very large figures, the Pennsylva-
MIA reporting more than twice
as large an increase as any
other company. sil,454,OOO on
the Eastern lines, and S3.O9S.6OO on
the Western lines, for II months. The
Baltimore and Ohio, for the year
claims the second largest gain in gross
of sc, 6,492, ZOO. other large individual
gains for the year were; Illinois Cen

10000; Southern railway. S2,S73, 200;
