Crime In Portville, Del.
Dover, DEL, April 14.-Mrs. Aida Col
Inns, the wife of Elmer p. Collins, a
young farmer of Portville, has been
murdered at her home, and her mutt
lated body was found by her husband
in a stable. Collins had gone to work
in the field, taking his two small chill
dren with him. His wife was to join
him later. AS she did not appear Col
Inns returned to the house, but she was
not there. Becoming alarmed, he
searched the premises and found Mrs.
Collins body in stable with her
throat cut from ear to ear and her
head crushed. In the carriage house
Collins found a Ratchet and an iron
bar covered with blood.
Physicians express the opinion that
the woman was killed by blow with
the bar and that the Ratchet was used
to mutilate the body.
When Collins left his wife in the
morning, she had in her possession
about $50, which is missing. Searching
parties are securing the country under
the direction of Sheriff Hart. Detec-
tives have arrived from Wilmington
and are working on the case.

A New Jerseyman by Birth.
Dr. Talmage was born in Bound
Brook, Somerset county, N. j., Jan.
1882. His home was Il small farm, and
he was the youngest son of family
of twelve children. His parents were
deeply religious people, and their great,
est desire was to see some of their sons
enter the ministry. Their hopes were
fulfilled, for the eldest brother at the
close of his college life went to China
as a missionary, while another became
minister DR.. Talmage himself ell
tered law, but his parents never ceased
to hope that he would eventually fol
low in the footsteps of his brothers.
In 1858 he gave up legal practice and
to prepare for the ministry.
His first charge was at Belleville, N
j., where he spent three years. He
then accepted call to a church at Syr.
acuse, N. Y. and remained there until
1862, when he accepted pastorate in
Philadelphia. This gave him his first
chance of reaching the people of a
great city. HIS success was lnStanta
neous, and he finally received three 81
multaneous calls from Brooklyn, Chi
cago and San Francisco. Though the
church which had called him to Brook

his choice is we'll known. Within a
