New York who said The public be
id" and evidently this bit of philos-
ophy has impressed his Excellency and
his Serene Highness, the Secretary Of
State.
The latter has informed the newspa-
per correspondents that whether the
bills have been approved or not will
only be known when the printed laws
are distributed. This will be some
months hence, and during that time the
public must be kept in suspense. We
don't know OF any law which will COM
pei the Governor and his Secretary
to divulge this information, but we do
know that the public has a fun right TO
know what is law the minnte 1t be-
comes law; and to withhold this in
formation is an exhibition OF arrogance
OF churlishness such as no man fit tc
be Governor should countenance.
Has the Governor signed the good
roads bill? We have a right to know
Has he signed the bill affecting mill
lams in New Castle county? We have
right TO know. Has he signed the
Voters Assistant repeal bill? We have
right to know. The Governor may
withhold this information, and the
Secretary OF State may curl his lip in
corn. but that doesn't affect the merits
Of the question: OF course the Cover
aor has right 10 take the constitu-
ional time to decide whether he will
approve these hills; that cannot be OBJ
iected to but when he does sign bill
il becomes q law. and the public, as a
natter Of right not Of grace, can de
mand information from him as te
/ what Is the law.

TO WIDEN TENTH srREEr

We are informed that plans are now
being drawn to erect large building
at the northwest corner Of Tenth and
Market streets. and this brings TO our
attention the necessity for widening
Tenth street from Market to Tatnall
AS a gentleman remarked this morn
ing: Our chief business street and our
finest residence street are Joined by an
alley" This is the truth in a nutshell
In time greater width OF this short
street will be imperative, and the time
to widen il is before there is further
building along it With the erection
Of large modern structure at the cor
ler, the project of widening the street
wliold have TO be abandoned.
1t is rumored that the projectors OF
the new structure are contemplating
giving the present sidewalk to the city
to be turned into the street, and to
build over the sidewalk in colonade
style, following the idea of the new
Pennsylvania railroad building on Fiji
teentn street. Philadelphia. While this
would show a commendaible and liberal
spirit on the part of the owners of the
property, yet it should be rejected, as
ehere is something better. The street
| should be widened by twenty-one feet
and it should be extended from the
basement to the sky line.

of the chief of police yesterday afternoon.
Detective Weiner, preliminary to the in
vestigation, told Mrs. Mcbride that he
intended to search her.
Although she rebcled the search was
made, but without result Hardly had the
detective concluded than Mrs. Mcbride
drew a revolver from the bosom of her
dress and pointing it at Mcbride, cried:
"Ill kill you now"
The detective snatched the gun from the
woman, thus preventing the threatened
tragedy.
The interview was conducted behind
closed doors, but it is stated that an I'M
derstanding was reached and the two left
the station together. The police, however,
fear that the woman will yet carry out
her threat to kill Mcbride.

Was Wrecked.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. ao-Mrs. Emma
Booth Tucker, consul in America of the
Salvation Army, wife of Commander
Booth-Tucker and second daughter of
William Booth, founder of the army, was
killed i'll the wreck of the eastbound
California train No. 2, near Dean Lake,
No., IS miles east Of Kansas City at 10
o'clock last night.
Col. Thomas {. Holland, in charge of
the Salvation Army at Amity, Colo was
fatally injured. Twenty others we're in
jured. The dead and injured were taken
to Fort Madison, Ia.
Mrs. Booth-Tucker was rendered uncon-
scious and died within half an hour after
being injured. Her skull was fractured
and she was injured internally.
The first details of the wreck were OBJ
tanned this morning by the Associated
Press over the long distance telephone
from Marceline, through Dr. d. B. Put
nam, who had been at the scene.
Into Open Switch.
The wrecked train left Kansas City last
evening. It ran into an open switch just
outside of Dean Lake. Only the three
last cars, two Pulmans and diner were
wrecked. The Pullmans were completely
demolished, while the diner was badly
damaged.
In the forward Pullman, Mrs. Booth
Tucker and Colonel Holland, who we're
the sole occupants of that car, had just
gone to the forward end for consulta-
ton. Two of the Pullmans struck steel
water tank with such force as to move it
five feet When the crew reached the
scene both Mrs. Booth-Tuckcr and Colonel
Holland were found unconscious.
They with the other injured, after much
delay, were taken to the depot platform
a few blocks distant, where everything
possible was done for them.
Neither regained consciousness, and
within half an hour the noted Salvation
Army leader succumbed to her injuries.
For time it was believed that the un-
conscious man at her side was Commander
Booth Tucker and in the confusion this
report was spread.
Wrecking trains were sent from Mar
ceine and other points and the dead and
injured started for Fort Madison, Iowa.
The train broke down after going short
distance and Marceline, the next station,
was not reached until 2 o'clock in the
morning. Physicians were taken on at
Marceine and the train proceeded north.

Assistant District Attorney Rand said
that the prosecution would rest today, and
the general impression is that the case

patch from Mukden, Manehuria, says:
"A detachment of Russian troops en-
tered the town yesterday and reoccupied
the guard houses. This action was IN
consequence of the weakness displayed by
the Chinese authorities who do not full
fill their promises and owing to general
ferment prevailing here"
The rumor coming from Japanese
sources relative to the erection Of Russian
forts ON the Yalu river, Korea, are ie-
clared to be exaggerated. 1t is explained
that only rampant has been built for the
protection of the Russian settlements
against the Chunchus.
The reports of the entry of Japanese
troops into Korea are also unconiirmed
and the anti Russian demonstrations in
Japan are now stated to be less frequent.
