Therefore Soldier starctts Charge of Lar
ceny Against Charles Faulkner Was Dis
missed.
Charles Faulkner was arraigned before
Judge Cochran in City Court, yesterday,
charged with stealing s45 from Samuel
Starett, soldier stationed at Fort Della
ware. Starett testified that Monday morn
ing he met Faulkner and another man in
South Wilmington; that they went into a
saloon over there and had several drinks,
He said he believed the drinks must have
been drugged, because after that he had no
use of himself, although he knew what was
going on about him, and saw Faulkner
take the money from his clothes; but he
did not know where he was at the time the
money was taken.
Several witnesses testified that they saw
Faulkner and another man with The soldier,
but did not zee Faulkner take any money
from him. They said they saw the soldier
taking money out of his pockets and throw
ing it into the street. One witness said that
they saw the soldier drop note In the
saloon they were drinking in, and that
Faulkner picked 1t up and put it in Starett's
pocket.
Faulkner testified in his own behalf, and
denied taking the money. He said the
soldier was drunk when he left him and he
helped him to a lot under tree and left
him there. He did not know what became
of him after that. When asked if he knew
the other man who was with him and the
soldier, he said he knew him only by sight,
and that the fellow lived in Chester.
The court held that there was nothing in
the case to warrant the holding of Faulkner
ana dismissed the case.

The tug WINS towing lighter, loaded with
cotton, from Brooklyn to Staten Island. The
Staten Island ferryboat Casteton was near
the scene of the explosion when it occurred
Capt. Braisted of the ferryboat says the ex-
plosion and the sinking of the tug vera
almost simultaneous. The tug seemed to
break in two amidships. The Casfleton @ns
at once stopped, and boats we're lowered.
One man was picked up by the Castieton.
His face was horribly burned and scalded.
Another man was picked up by passing
tugboat. One OF the men, deckhand
named Hanson, was taken 10 Smith In
Urinary and the other to the marine hospital
on Staten Island. Neither was able 10 give
an account of the accident.
The liRhthouseboat Daiay is at the place
where the tug went down, graphing for
the bodies of the lost.

Belief That He win Make His Home in

Belief That He win Make His Home In
Wilmington In tho Future.
1t was reported in this city this
morning, on good authority, that Fred
erick Eden Bach had resigned his posi-
tion as special agent of the rural free
mail delivery, or would resign during
the day. and that hereafter he will
make his home in Wilmington. 1t has
been known for several days that he is
a candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for register of wills in this
county, and those who heard the report
that he had resigned his government
position were not surprised. 1t is said
that be will return to Wilmington to-
day to remain and will devote his time
to PARTY matters and his candidacy,
Mr.. Bach has beea away from Will
mington for about three years. He was
first appointed to position in the
rural FREQ mail service and afterward
to the customhouse service in Havana.
Cuba. On the first of last July he he
came one of the special agents in the
mail service again, and has been work.
ing in that position ever since. This
position, 1t is said, would necessitat
much travelling on his part and it
would be impossible for him to locate
permanently in one place, and it is
believed that his object in resigning
and returning to Wilmington is to have
a permanent home here, where he can
be with his family all the time.
Some of Mr. Bach's friends, in dis
cussing his reported resignation yes
terday, said they had heard report
that Mr.. Bach, as agent in the mail
service, was slated to be sent to Cali
fornia, and, if such were the case they
we're not surprised that he had decided
to relinquish his position. They argued
that such post would keep him SO
far away from Delaware that he could
not keep in touch with party matters
in the State and bis candidacy would
suffer very materially.
