Philadelphia, May IA. BY the fal
of a freight elevator in the Bald
win Locomotive Works just before
midnight two men were killed in
stantly, another was fatally injured
and two more were hurt so badly
that they were removed to the hos
pitfalls in dangerous conditions.
The dead are Chares Coleman, 2S
years old, Of Boston, and an uni
Identified man, employee of Bald
wins.
The injured are Bernard Nc
| Laughlin, AZ years 3 Lee street,
| James O'Neil, 40 years, Collins
Court and an unidentified man, at
Medico-C -Chirurgical Hospital.
All these men were engaged in
finishing the erection of hydraulic
freight elevator
Just before 12 o'clock, when they
were about to quit work to take
their midday lunch they gave it a
final test They sent it as far as
the fourth floor, where it was then
stopped for moment while direc
tions were called to the men below.
Coleman and the unidentified man
both of whom were said to be EN-
ployees of the Pluyer Elevator Co.,
of Boston, were at the bottom of
pit dug forty We feet below the sur
face Of the ground watching how
the shaft worked Mclaughlin was
on the car, noting it, progress from
above
There was sudden crash and the
elevator II tons in weight came
down with territcspeed. Its grind
ing noise could be heard all over the
big shop.
The men in the pit made frantic
effort to get up the ladder to the
top, but they had not taken more
than two OF three steps when the
enormous weight struck them, beat
them down and crushed them fiat
against the wooden staging on
which they were working,
At the same time Mclaughlin was
jolted with awful force against the
elevator flooring.
With the crash there came a
shower of flying timbers and pieces
of iron. Workmen fled for their
lives in all directions; there was al
most a panic in the place.
When the excitement uuieted
down and the elevator was lacked
up high enough for rescuers to go
down into the pit Coleman and his
helper were found dead. They
were mangled frightfully.

MURDER CLUE.

H Laurel, Del, May 1.-THE State
detectives are counting upon a
dream for important information
! about the murder Of Mrs. Aida Col
lins, which is still enshrouded in
mystery. A cousin OF Elmer Col
Inns, the husband of the dead, had
a dream two or three nights in Sue
cession in which he says, he saw
the long -searched-for knife with
which Mrs. Collins throat was cut
lying in a mill hole in the stream
running back of their home.
Detective Francis has engaged
Special Detectives A. H. Green and
Cadmus Phillips to- assist him to-
morrow in draining the dam, so
that thorough search may be made
for the knife. II it proves to be
that of Elmer Collins, the husband,
who has been released on bail,
those accusing Collins will say that
1T proves that the husband killed
the wife.
The State detectives are not su-
perstitious, but the dream" clue
will be worked for all there is in it.
\ For many nights past Collins has
been robbed, first of fence rails and
pieces of his buildings, as souvenirs
OF the murder, and, later, of poul-
try, harness and farm equipments.
This has been going on every night
! that he has slept at his fathers
home, Il mile distant.

A Few Questions.

sIR:-Why is it that the two po-
litical parties in Delaware are al
ways fighting among themselves
Why has the Republican party
about three thousand majority in
Delaware3 What has become of the
$500 majority which sent ths Hon.
c. B. Lore to Congress, and elected
Charles &. Stockley Governor' Is
1t the tariff, or the negro vote, or
any arguments made by the Repnb-
iican orators? No, no. will an
Bwer the questions in due time, and
will defy any person to contradict
what say. Shame, oh shame, that
there is not an high minded, honest
Democrat that can lead the honest
thousands of Democrats to victory
In Delaware. Old party tricks are
back numbers and deserve to he de-
feated. Give us men for office who
are fearless and who do their duty
Ms the law directs and for the good
of all of our citizens.

Southern Railway Dining Cars.

The Southern Railway is making an
especial feature OF its dining car SER
vice on many of it's through trains, and
in order to make dining cars more at
tractive than ever, are now equipping
all Of these cars with electric fans and
electric lights. A number of the dining
cars on through trains between Allan
ia and New York have been equipped
with electric fans and electric lights,
and these Improvements will continue
until all of the dining cars on the
Southern system will have these ad-
vantageS.
There are very few roads in the world
that have electric lights and electric
fans in their dining cars and this i'm
provement will add much to the al
ready excellent dining car service OF
the Southern railway.

TRIED To Cut BRYAN.-Mr. Bryan
had an exciting encounter with a
drunken man at the Labor Day picnic
at Lincoln. Neb., on September l. Mr..
Bryan and two friends were going out
of the park. when they saw two men
fighting. The larger was numerically
pummelling the other man. Mr.. Bryan
promptly interfered. In his drunken
rage the big man drew a knife and a
revolver from his pocket. Mr.. Bryan
grasped him by one wrist, the other
man grasped his other arm. The
stranger was at least six feet tall and
brawny and had just enough liquor in
him to increase his strength and fury.
In the struggle that followed he proved
a tough proposition.
Mr.. Bryan has not shaken hands for
nothing the past six years. He had a
grip that would not loosen and he clung
to the mans wrist until he had him
overpowered. The stranger was final
ly elected from the park and the man
who had been whipped also escaped.
