tend an especially urgent invitation to
the patrons and all Others interested in

tive appliances and overcrowding Of

Elmer Collins, who has been on trial
for the murder of his wife. was aoquit-
ted by the jury on Wednesday even
ing. The twelve men were out only
about an hour when verdict of not
guilty was rendered.
The lawyers for the State, and also
for the defense. made strong pleBs, but
the jury was only compelled to take
two ballots. There were four blank
votes in the first ballot, and the rest
were for acquittal. The second ballot
was twelve for aequittal, and the fam
GUS trial was then at an end.
The second week in the trial of Elmer
Collins, charged with numbering his
wife, began with interest unabated.
Considerable time was spent in call
ing the names of the long list of wit
nesses for the defense after the count
opened A number were missing and
there is thought to be but little chance
of a 4 of them being secured. The State
had tie same trouble when putting in
its side of the case.
The Rev. +. J. Cochran was the first
witness. He testified 81 was at the
house ofthe defendant on the afternoon
after N1rs. Collins was found murdered.
l spoke to Elmer, telling him was
sorry for his trouble. Elmer was cry
ing and tears fell upon the ground. He
went with me 10 the stable and showed
us the position in which he bad found
lis wife
"Did yOu hear Collins say anything"
eyes; two other ministers were with
me-"
'Did you hear Collins say that he
took the money from his pocket and
gave it to his wifs?" "No."
This was in direct contradiction to
the evidence of Collins pastor, ex-
smined by Attorney General Ward.
The witness was asked in a variety of
wsys if the Rev. Geo. R. McCreaiy
could not have seen Collins when he
the witness) was not in hearing. The
witness replied: "I don't remember
any such time, but if Mr. McCreary
says there was 1 would rather believe
his word"
'Did any one ask Collins about his
money % 81 don't knOw.n
"Were you with Mr. McCreary all
the time? ?" "Yes, I think So"
James L. Collins was the next cal'eu
10 the stand. Mr.. Collins is the father
of the murdered woman. He was
asked;
"where do you attend church ~
"The Methodist. Elmer and my daugh-
ter did also.D
Did you visit your daughters
house2" "Yes, and / never saw them
have any trouble"
The witness then told of his visit to
his son-in-law's farm soon after the
murder was discovered. He said his
daughter was accustomed to help Col
Inns work in the field.
The witness said he had seen his
daughter and her husband working
together in the field
At the afternoon session Matthew
Gore, deputy sheriff, and five other men
srOm d rchester county, Maryland,
declared they would not believe Wrot-
ten on his oath. He had served time
in penitentiary, and has a very bad
reputation.
David w. Ralph, Handy Culver and
others from LittleCreek hundred. .swore
that Henry Noblett. who swore to hav-
ing heard Collins pray for forgiveness.
bore bad reputation for truth. They
had never heard anybody think well
of him.

Milford Needs, and Must Have a Steam
boat.

1t has been demonstrated to even the
most obdurs te that a steamboat 10 ply
between Milford and Philadelphia is a
profitable enterprise, and that it is an
alb olute Lecessity to fruit gro ers.
Now that the steamboat Emma Refs
has been sold, the opportunity is ripe
for building a new iron steamer toIun
on this route, that will meet the re-
quirements of the condition of Mispil-
lion navigation. Heretofore the Emma
Refs stood in the way; but that is
swept away, and the opportunity to
place a boat modern and suitable for
the traffic is at hand. The capital can
be had; and if very little push is put
behind the matter, the stock will all be
taken in a weeks time. A steamer
must be secured to run the route tenn
porarily, or until the new steamboat
can be built. This is good 15 to 20
per cent investment for those who go
into it.

A Large Business in a Small Town.

In the little village OF Pennington,
just below the junction of the D. NJ. &
Railroad with the Delaware Railroad,
there has been conducted for twenty
years past one of the largest individual
businesses in lower Delaware. 1t was
built up by one mans efforts, and is
to-day a monument to the name of
VIM. Fl. Murphy, the man whose
ability has created it. Probably at no
other place on the Delaware and Mary
land peninsula of equal size will as
large and varied assortment of car
riages, from the largest barouche to the
runabout or spindle wagon, be found.
Mr.. Murphy has for the second time
since January 1st received a carload of
carriages direct from the manufacturers
Of fine vehicles; and, having no rent.Or
no clerk-hire to pay. he offers as an
fndueement for people at distance to
deal " ith him, shading Of the usual
prices of. other dealers. Mr.. Murphy
has mode a reputation as a builder Of
farm wagons, has sold dozen Of these
this winter and spring. 1t will pay to
look over this business before making
a selection. His advertisement appears
in another part of the CHRONICLE.
