WIN 0S0R STILL AT LARGE
Stories Sent Out to Try and Mis-.
lead the Authorities.
Murderer is Not in Delaware De-
spite Efforts to Make 1t
Appear So.

J. Edward Windsor, murderer OF hi i;
father, is still at large though his whcr"-
abouts We're told by Ihe Sun Il week ago.
Since that time the youthful patricidn
has escaped TO other parts and gone
West
Though il was clearly pointed ont that
Windsor was i'll Florida, no attempt was
made to follow up the clue 50 far us is
known and Windsor was permitted to
get farther away from the scene of his
awful deed.
Now Comes the story from Milford
that Charles lsaacs, Il blacksmith, has
told the State detectives that he will
disclose the hiding place Of the murderer
for $500; and that the sluths are not
willing to pay that sum for the alleged
information. According to the tale Isaars
asserts that the detectives will never
find Windsor.
The report is that the day after tho
murder he was riding on his bicycle and
stumbled. He went to the nearest house
and pushed open the door. Windsor
was inside. The murderer drew Isaacs
within the hallway, and hurriedly shut
the door. Windsor said he was suffering
torments, and wanted to give himself
up, but was not quite ready.
According to Isaacs. Windsor suggest
ed that lsaacs should charge the detec-
tivos the 5000. The arrangement was
that when the detectives came to make
the arrest Windsor should blow out his
own brains. The blacksmith would then
be $500 ahead.
Attorney General Ward said he had
not heard the story and did not believe
it.
Over the story metropolitan papers
are printing a cut of Windsor showing
him wearing heavy mustache. The
story Is fake and the picture Of tho
murderer is not true one as Windsor
appears now.
Before Windsor escaped from Della.
ware he had a mustache; he does not
ware one now.
At certain point in his flight tho
murderer started to cut off his mustnche
with pocket knife. In removing the
mnstache he gashed his lip badly with
the knle. After this change in his
facial appearance Windsor continued bis
flight.

BOLT STRIKES
FIVE MEN,

Sharon, Pa, July 1S.-Lightning
brought death to two men and seri-
ously inuring three others at
Pinchalong, uearGrove City, Mercer
County, to day:
THE DEAD.
LUTHER CAMPBELL, aged 20 years.
HOWARD CORNELIUS, aged l9 years.
THE INJURED.
EDWARD HosAcK.
WILLIAM HosACK.
LEON COVERT.
The men were employed on the
Pittsburg Bessemer u Lake Erie
Railroad tracks, and when storm
came up they sought shelter in an
unoccupied house near the railroad
track. Campbell set at an open
window while the others occupied
boxes that were strewn about the
room. A bolt of lightning struck
the chimney of the house, passed
down through it to the room where
the men were sitting, killed Camp
bell and Cornelius, and shocked
the others into insensibility.
MEN HURLED FROM THE HOUSE,
When the men failed to return
home a searching party wasorgan-
lied and the five men we're d,scov-
cred, three lying outside the house
and two inside. The three were
evidently hurled outside the house
by the bolt, as the survivors were
unconscious when found. Camp
bell had all the clothing torn from
his back and was badly burned,
while Cornelius did not show
mark Of any kind. William Hosack
is still in a critical condition and
and will probably die. The others

LIGHTNING
PLAYS HAVOC.

Vine1and, N. j., July l9.-The
town was thrown into terror and al.
most a general panic by terrific
electric storm tonight. In the space
OF IS minutes four buildings we're
struck by lightning and the ear split
!. ting crashes Of thunder struck terror
to the hearts of some of the bravest.
Mrs. Sarah Persons house was set
on fire and completely ruined. The
bolt tore its way through the roof
and end of the building, tearing of
shutters and throwing window cas-
ings into the midst Of the family. All
were stunned, and miracuously escap-
ed being struck by flying timbers.
At the esidence Of Isaac. Sharp a
bolt took every brick out Of the Chin
ney down to the second floor and
shattered the whole house. Mrs.
Sharp's shoes were torn from her
feet and one foot badly burned. A
sister Of Mrs. Sharp was paralyzed
in one leg and pet dog was killed.
Lightning damaged the cacred
Heart Church rectory and slightly
stunned the inmates. A large hole
was torn out of Thomas Hirst S rug
factory. Numerous trees were struck.
The storm was the most destructive
known here for years.
Egg Harbor, N. J.-While at work
during a severe electrical storm late
this afternoon William Knee, car
penter. had a saw knocked out of his
hand by bolt Of lightning. The
saw was compile tely demolished and
Knee was thrown to the ground, but
not injured in the least. The storm
was one of the severest this city has
seen for many years, and played havoc
with trees and out.buildings.
Bridgeville, Del.-Probably the
most disastrous storm slted Sussex
county last night that has ever been
seen here.
AS a consequence, corn and many
peach and apple trees are lying fiat.
The storm was accompanied by very
heavy wind, strong enough to uproot
large trees.
Around here the lightning did its
worst damage. Three houses were
struck in this town. Mrs. John john
ston narrowly escaped being killed,
together with her three children. She
had only passed from one room to an
other when the lightning struck the
tower on the house, tearing shingles
and heavy timber to shreds, and the
wind carrying large pieces Of timber
for hundred yards The house of
Mrs. Joseph Stewart adjoining the
Johnston house, was struck by light
ming, knocking Mrs. Stewart down
and badly injuring her, also SKATER
ing nearly every window in the
house.
Further up town the house Of J.
Harvey Myers was struck and Myers
slightly injured. He was sitting on
the porch when the bolt took away a
portion Of it, killing a valua Bile fox
hound and slightly stunning Myers.
Near Cannons, small village two
miles from here, large barn was de-
stroyed by lightning with all the
years crops of hay and wheat and all
the farming utensils and lot OF small
poultry. Over at Georgetown there
was considerable damage among corn
fields. Calvin Lewis was stunned by
the lightning, which struck a large
chestnut tree in front of his house,
reducing it to spinters.
The barn OF j.. B. Fleetwood was
hit and his wheat crop and all farm.
ing implemenst were burned. Many
tees in all parts of the county are re.
ported uprooted.
The loss will run up into thousands
of dollars.

Large Potato CrOD,

The potato crop is unusually large this
year. During the last few days $4,000
barrels have been shipped over the Della
ware railroad. These 10000 barrels came
from the surrounding country Of Ca e
Charles, Va, the wharfage of which
point is piled up with the vegetables to
the extent Of several acres. The crop n
lower Delaware is unusually large this
season and big shipments are being
made.

Redeemed q Horse.

Elias Handy, Brandywine hundred
farmer, yesterday afternoon redeemed
from pound horse which had strayed
from his farm. Dog Catcher Kopf
found the horse beyond Washington
street bridge Wednesday night. A good
many horses seem to be straying about
as the dog catcher has impounded ten in
the past few days.
