OF Friends

State and the Eastern Shore Of Mary

out in the institution he, as well as Su-
perintendent Hancker and other officials
and attendants. was in quarantine. He
was stricken with the disease on Friday

garded as serious from the first, owing to
his advanced age and a complication of

possible, and a special nurse was engag-
ed for him. but his heart became so weak
that he succumbed after an illness of a
week.
Mr. McMullen was the son Of Samuel
McAIullen and was born on the Hamburg
farm, in New Castle county, 72 years
ago. He lived here until 1865 when he
went to Berlin, Nd, and engaged in rail
roading for twenty-four years. He
moved to Wilmington ten years ago, and
for seven years had been supervisor Of
the institution at Farnhurst.
Mr.. McMullen was very popular among
a large circle of friends He had a
gentle, genial disposition and a deep
kindness for everybody. He had many
friends and no enemies. and his death
will be widely mourned. Besides his wife
he leaves three children-Samuel Nc
Mullen, Miss Mary McNlullen and Miss
Ella McAIullen Former Sneaker of the
House and former United States Mar
shal Henry II. McMullen is a brother.
Private intsrment will be made today.

MORE LIGHT WANTED
South Side Residents Complain Of Light.
ing System

People living over Third street bridge
are complaining of the lighting system In
that section Of the city. They say that
the are lights and all the electric lights
give very little satisfaction, because half
the time they are out and this always oc-
ours ON the darkest nights, when they
are needed most.
They have no gas lamps in that part of
wilmington and when the electric lights
fail they are left in the dark This is
very dangerous as many shifting engines
are continually going in and out of the
large factories of South Wilmington.
The residents also claim that arc lights
are not placed TO the best advantage,
either. They say if they were changed
they would give much better service
when they burn.
