FOUL MURDER

THoRoUGHFARE NECK, October 24th.-
Mystery surrounds a foul murder that
occurred sometime Saturday night on the
farm of Mrs. Jennie E. Bell, near Taylors
Bridge, when A. S. Kunk, well-known
resident of Thoroughfare Neck and a
notorious chicken thief, met an untimely
end and was found dead early Sunday
morning near the barn by members of
the family, showing every evidence of
foul play. Who his assailant was per-
haps will never be known as he was
buried on the spot he was found. with
out even the rites of burial pronounced
over him and without coffin. 1t is
doubtful whether the victim will ever he
disinterred as he had no kp~wn relatives
and as he was such questiunable char
acter doubtless not even an inquest will
be held over the remains. TIE deceased
was, perhaps, one of the most eccentric
characters in the State, living in q dngout
on the banks of Blackbird Creek, which
he never left only under the cover of
darkness for the purpose of procuring
food, which was said to consist OF berries
and various insects and other things
found in the woods, but he also had a
failing for chickens and was a frequent
night visitor to poultry yards. His
clothing consisted entirely of furs, giving
him most grotesque appearance. The
only effects found on his person was

TRUSTEES OF POOR

Trustees of the Poor observed Ladies'
Day at the county hospital at Farnhnrst
Wednesday. They entertained Their
wives and lady friends in addition to
a number of other visitors. There was a
special dinner and the visitors inspected
the institution and found it in its usual
excellent condition. Among those pres.
ent were:
A. V. Lesley George of New Castle;
Mr.. and Mrs. G. Candy Hopkins Of Chris
tiana hundred; Miss Margaret L. Stirling,
Rockland; Mrs. Isaac C. Elliott and Isaac
G. Elliott, Jr.; Mr.. and Mrs. Henry L.
Churchman, Stanton; Mr.. and Mrs. Abra-
ham Dennison, Mermaid; Mrs. J. C.
Sites, Middletown; Miss Caroline Clark,

port; Mr.. and Mrs. E. L. Rice, Whining
ton; Mr.. and Mrs. I. S. Bullock, Will
mington; Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph G. Parker,
Middletown.
Many of those present visited the hos
pital for the first time and they were
greatly pleased with the buildings and
with the manner in which the county
cares for its needy.
Superintendent Blackburn reported
that there are 176 inmates in the insti-
tuition at this time, and that deaths have
occurred during the month as follows !:
Frank Miller, colored, 26 years old; Gar
rison Towney, colored, 26 years old; Wal
ter Seals, colored, aged A years.
The pay roll Of $451.S4 was ordered
paid.
There was considerable routine bust.
ness transacted but it was disposed of as
soon as possible in order that the mem
bers might entertain their friends.
One of the subjects considered was the
complaint made sometime ago by some of
the managers of the Home for Friendless
and Destitute Children. The managers
complained that they had been refused
admission by one of the employees of the
institution and had been harshly treated.
The trustees appointed committee to
look into the matter. Wednesday they
met the managers who made the COM
plant and the employees of the hospital
were brought before the committee and
the managers who were present. They
were unable to pick out the employe who
had given the offence.
After this had been done the commit
tee reported to the trustees and the
trustees discharged the committee and
dropped the matter though they assured
the managers that no employe would be
allowed to deal harshly with the public.

CASE AGAINST POWELL

When Georgianna Ford, the young
girl known as "Georgie" Ford in the
Powell murder case in which she was a
star witness against her former foster
father, Albert NJ. Powell, whom the
State charges with gross immortality.
This time, however, it hardly looked like
the same little Miss Ford that the State
took away from the Powell farmhouse at
Bowers only six months ago.
She appeared in court, escorted by
Agent Frank Stout Of the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty, well dressed and
even refined in appearance. There was
a new light in the girls eye healthy
flush upon her face and refinement in
her manner that spoke worlds for the
state institution which has cared for her
since April
Powell has able counsel to defend him
and the progress of his case, which means
seven years for him if he loses, will be
watched with great interest.
Mrs. Hannah NJ. Powell, the defend
ants wife who killed Essie Albin, an
other of Powells "foster daughters" is
serving life sentence in Jail for the
murder, which was really a massacre.

Saturday was more like Election Day
in Middletown than Registration Day and
from morning until night there was con.
tinued activity among the leaders to get
their men registered. Those who failed
to qualify Saturday will be deprived -of
their vote on Election Day. 1t was an ex-
citing day with the leaders and teams
were kept busy gathering in the tardy
ones, and now that the registration is
over both parties are putting mp an active
fight which will be waged with earnest
ness until the polls close the Sth day of
November.
Tuesday afternoon, about 2 o'clock,
from some unknown cause, fire broke out
on the farm tenanted by Mr. ]. Hodson,
near Warwick, owned by Mrs. E. Per-
kins, of this town. The entire outbuild-
ings OH the farm together with several
bushels of wheat, hay farm inn
plements, &c, were consumed entailing
severe loss, but fortunately covered by
insurance. All the buildings were
burned except the dwelling, which was
some distance from the outbuildings.
Much sympathy is expressed for the
owner and tenant. How the fire started
Is mystery.

Mineral Blocks May be Split Thinne

IutLeThJ DloShp "oy w
Thar Tissue Paper.
The mica as it comes from the mines
is in blocks which are theoretically
F.. short rhombic: prisms, but practically
are scarcely recognizable as such, haV-
ing a very rough and uneven contour.
They have a very perfect cleavage
parallel to the base, and may be split
into laminae thinner than the thinnest
tissue paper, and these laminae form
the familiar transparent stove .panes
and lamp chimneys. The exterior por'
tons Of these blocks are opaque, brit.
tie and worthless, presumably from the
penetration of water, for mica soon
decomposes when exposed to any con-
siderable weathering. A thick layer
Of plates has therefore to be removed
from either face Of the blocks before
any mica of commercial size or value
is reached. and the sheets split from
the remainder are surrounded by a
large margin Of worthless material.
But the difficulties and losses or
mica mining are far from being all
enumerated. Even when occurring IN
blocks of commercial size it is rendered
valueless, or comparatively so, by n
or more Of q series of defects, which
may be classed as color, specks, rul'
ing, ribbing and wedge formation. II
sometimes occurs literally pied with
black dots, consisting in general OF
black oxide of iron OF garnet, and when
even a few Of these are present its
commercial value is destroyed, because
such mica, when used as an %insulator,
is peculiarly liable TO puncture, the
specks forming practically short CIR
cults for the electric current. Inc
same is true Of streaks, which are
sometimes turned to red rust.
Some otherwise excellent mica IS
found to be ruled or cut, as it were,
with a series Of perfectly straight
lines. parallel to one side of the crys'
tai. so that on being split the mica
falls Immediately into strips; or, again,
instead Of being striped or ruled, the
mica is often deeply ribbed or CORFU
gated parallel to the adjacent edges
of the crystal, so as to give the ap'
pearance of the letter \, or, rather, V,
whence it is termed "A mica" AS the
ribbed portion has to be cut away in
the sheet, such mica is Improbable
unless the blocks are large. Wedge
mica is that in which the block is thick
er at one end than at the other, the
laminae partaking of the unevenness.
Such blocks are wholly worthless ex-
cept as scrap.-Engineering Magazine.

Tho uRfp Wind.D

The hurricane known as the Dig
wind" which swept over Ireland and
the western coast of England, occurred
on the night of the 9th and the morning
of the 7th Of January, 1889. In Linz
erick, Galway, Athlone and other
places more than 200 houses were
blown down, and as many more were
burned, the winds spreading the fires.
Dublin suffered very severely. London
and it's vicinity suffered scarcely any
damage, but at Liverpool twenty per-
sons were killed by the falling of build
incs, and 100 or more were drowned in
the neighborhood. The coast and Dar-
bors in the path Of lie storm were
covered with wrecks.
