DELAWARE is HEALTHY, TOO.

Philadelphia Times Monday.
Pennsylvania must be a pretty healthy
State to live in, according to some an
thentic records which have Just been
compiled and published by the best
statisticians in the country.
Only l2. 56 persons out of every 1000
die here during the year. In our
neighhoring States New York and New
Jersey, 20 out OF the sape number die,
and in Delaware and Maryland the
proportion is 13. 20. Ohio has the same
percentage as Pennsylvania.
One section of the country only is
healthier than this. That is the North
west from California and Colorado to
Canada and from Iowa and Minnesota
to the Pacific. That sections rating
is S.26 deaths per LOCO. The rate in
all the country directly north of here
is the same as New York and New Jer-
soy, and in all south is the same as
Delaware and Maryland. The South
central section, taking in Kentucky,
Arkansas and the Gulf States, is rated
at 1917, and in the Southwestern di-
vision Utah, California, Nevada, New
Mexioo-12 10 is the figure.

EFFECTS or STORMS.
Man Killed by lightning at Hockessin and
Two Shocked ON Third Street Bridge.

Two Shocked ON Third street Bridge.
This city was again fortunate Thurs
day afternoon in receiving only a
small part of storm which looked
very serious before it arrived. Vivid
lightning could be seen in the distance
in almost every direction, but when
the storm reached Wilmington il was
only an ordinary summer rain without
the electrical feature, which passed.
Other places in this vicinity were
not as fortunate as Wilmington. At
Hockessin there was heavy thunder
and lightning and Lewis Gasty, col
ored, aged 30 years, was struck by
lightning and killed.
Another storm was central here Fri
day morning. Between 6 and z o'clock
very heavy black clouds gathered in
the west and shortly after o'clock
there was very heavy downpour Of
rain, accompanied by thunder and
lightning. Before the storm broke the
sky looked very much as IL 1t were
giving warming of tornado or some
thing Of that character. The rain was
accompanied by some wind, but not
enough to do any serious damage.
During the storm Friday George
Wright, bridgetender of Third street
bridge, and Constable Lucius G. Jones,
both of whom were on the draw. were
shocked by lightning and stunned, but
neither was hurt. Mr.. Wright had
his hand on the controller for the pur-
pose of applying the current to turn
the draw, when bolt of lightning
descended and evidently struck some
where near the bridge, as its effects
were plainly felt. The electricity from
the clouds found its way to the bridge
mechanism and knocked MIR. Wright s
hand off the controller. 1t also got
tangled up in Constable Jones UNI
brella and gave him a shock. Mr..
Jones says he saw the lightning strike
the Christiana river near the bridge

FOOT MANGLE0.

Peculiar Accident to a Young Son of
Thomas Dorman of Edge Moor.
The 7-years-old son of Thomas Dor
man, farmer, of Edge Moor, is suffer-
ing with badly injured foot, the re-
suit of peculiar accident which CO.
CURED on the farm few days ago. The
boy was lying along the hedge, when
suddenly his foot became caught in a
moving machine which his father was
using. With great presence of mind,
the boy remained still and cried
whoa" to the horses The horses
knew his voice and stopped and the
father ran to his sons assistance and
extricated tho foot from the machine.
1t was found that the knives had cut
through the shoe and mangled the foot,
but, fortunately, the bones were intact.
Had the horses not stopped when they
did the foot would probably have been
chewed into small pieces by the ma
chine. As soon as possible the boy was
brought to this city and taken to the
Office of DR.. Winner, who sewed up the
wounds. 1t rs thought the foot can be
saved. N

MOTHERS FRIGHTFUL CRIME.


She strangfes Two of Her Children and
Injuries an Infant.
New York, July 26. Richard Meade,
a night watchman, on returning to his
home, in Brooklyn, today, found his
two young daughters dead from
strangulation, caused by twine tightly
tied around their throats. A third
child was unconscious from the same
cause, and his wife lay in comatose
condition on the floor, apparently suf-
fering from alcoholism combined with
poison.
According to the police, tie woman
was of incorporate habits, and the
supposition is that she strangled the
children while in q delirious condition.
The oldest child was years Of age.
Her body and that of her 1-year-oid
sister were lying on the bed, with
several yards of stout twine wound
about their throats. The other little
one was still alive, and was removed TO
hospital with the mother. The baby's
injuries are rrobsbly fatal, as the
slender cord had cut deep into it's
throat.
About one year ago Meade had his
wife arraigned and committed for in
temperance. 1t was Just prior to the
birth of the youngest child, and on
that account She was released on
promise to reform.
