death RESULTED FROM
FALL DOWN STAIRS
Mrs. Sophia S. Porter, Well
known Woman, Fatally In
jured at Her Home

From the result Of injuries received
by falling down a stairway al her
home No. 100 Adams street. Mrs.
Sophia s. Porter, widow of William
T. Porter, died shortly after o'clock
yesterday afternoon. She lived but
fifteen minutes after the accident and
it is thought she was stricken with
vertigo or apoplexy which caused the
fall. The deceased was so years old.
Mrs. Porter was preparing to go
shopping and her carriage was waiting
at the door when the accident occurred.
AS Mrs. Porter started down the
steps her daughter, Mrs. David R. All
mond called to her and was about to
hand her letter to mail when Mrs.
Porter lost her balance and plunged
headforemost down the stairway. She
alighted on the landing about three or
four steps from the first floor.
She was picked up by Mrs. Almond
and a maid and was placed on a couch
in the library.
Mrs. Porter did not seem to be seri-
ously injured, and after being assisted
to her feet she inquired Did 1 break
my neck?" She was made comfortable
in the library and DR.. James A. Draper
arrived in about ten minutes. Mrs
Porter died suddenly a few minutes
afterward, however. DR.. Draper was
unable to discover any fracture of Mrs
Porter's neck as a result Of the fail
end it is likely that she was attacked
with apcplexy, which caused her T.

NOT ALONE FOR

THE REV. WILLIAM
FREDERICK DICK
EMS LEWIS DE
MES THE SENSA.
TIONAL STORY OF
DESIRE FOR DIS
BANDMENT

Members of the Transatlantic Society
of America in this city are wrought up
over a story which appeared in a
Philadelphia newspaper this morning
to the effect that the society would be
disbanded and its lofty mission OF
causing a more friendly feeling to ex-
list between England and America
abandoned.
The trouble, according to the news
paper, was that many persons whose
names do not appear In blue books have
made application for membership and
that as the eXclusiveness OF the society
cannot longer be maintained they have
decided to disband.
In part the paper said;
Throughout its history the Trans
atlantic Society. which was organized
in 1900. has had great difficulty i'm pre-
serving its exclusive character. Clerks,
statesmen and various other persons.
whose names do not figure in blue
books, have sought admission into the
fashionable pale of the. organization.
But the straw that broke the camers
back it is said, was the application OF
an office boy. who was ambitious Ia
join in the great work
This person. who. It appears, suffer-
ed from an astigmatism which blinded
him absolutely TO any social line
phrased his application in words which
were condescending rather than apollo
getic."
Bishop Leighton Coleman is president
Of the society He could not be seer
as he had left the city. but the Rev
William Frederick Dickens Lewis. q
governor of the organization, spoke in
no uncertain manner on the subject
lie said the story was a lie from be-
ginning to end and stated that the so.
ciety was not exclusively for society
folk. but was intended as its name i'm.
piled to advance the feeling of friend
ship between England and America
He said there had been some resigna.
tions, however, OF Philadelphians. am,
they have been accepted. Mr.. Lewis
seemed very much disturbed that tn
story had gained credence and ende,
by saying that there was not a wor,
OF truth in it,

SPECTACULAR SHOW TO
Be GIVEN BY JUNIORS
Instead of Minstrel Perform
ance Mechanics Win Pro-
duce Something New

Instead of the annual minstrel show the
Wilmington Junior order of American
Mechanics will give spectacular per-
formance this season.
For many years these annual minstrel
shows given by the order have been the
best in their line. Not only have they
been the best OF the amateur entertain
ments. but have been close rivals to the
professional troups that have visited this
city.
The idea of the performance, which will
take place some time during February
will be after those given by the coli
lege clubs, where the female characters
are taken by the men. There will be bal
let's, choruses and other dances. As soon
as the weather becomes cooler the re-
hearsals will begin. Those behind the per-
formanee realize that much time and
work will be necessary to get the produc-
tion properly staged. The chorus and
dancers Will rehearse separately under
proficient directors and the theatre-going
public may expect something well worth
seeing.

BLEW OUT BRAINS
WITH A PISTOL
Professor Eugene w. Man
ming Ends His Lie on
Street in Philadelphia

After first calling up the electrical
bureau on the telephone and telling them
an ambulance was needed, Dr. Eugene
Manning. ap rofossor of German at the
Central High School. Philadelphia. and
formerly professor of languages at
Delaware College. placed a revolver in
his mouth and blew out his brains.
The deed was committed about o'clock.
Professor Manning was walking along
Seventeenth street, near Buttonwood and
when in front Of the Baldwin's Locomo-
tive Works. he stopped suddenly and
drawing a revolver from his pocket shot
himself in the mouth, the bullet emerg-
ing from the back OF his head.
When the patrol wagon reached the
scene they found the man lying in a
pool of blood with the revolver clutched
in his hand.
At the hospital the dead mans iden-
tity was soon discovered from papers
found In his pockets. There were several
letters addressed TO him az the Green
street house. signed by his wife, who but
a few days ago left her home here tc
spend short time with relatives In
Lewas.
