UNIVERSAL SYMPATHY.

UNIV EltSAL SYMPATHY.
The pathUS of the tragedy. too. an
pealS to all hearts. The victims family
wels widely scattered. all his beloved
and loving children being absent ut the
time he was stricken down. and two
could not reach his side and take the last
farewell. The tragedy has been the one
topic of discussions since it occurred,
and the measure of sympathy with the
stricken household ia full. Every effort
will he made to run down the murderer.
and the hope that he will be caught is
the sole Solacc of the community

ton that on the morning of the Ig,y unnn
which Mr. Constable. WIS shot n voung
man from PhilaIlclphin. VISITING q farm
between Iron Hill and Elkton. was hold
up by two white men. ono of whom
agreed somewhat with the drscrintion
given by Holland of the man who sent
him to Mr. COnstnblc's hplr, With +ha
persuasion of Il revolver the Young man
gave up 81 cents. John T. Dolon of
Wilmington, and others of the slentbs
are said to share the belief that Holland

The woman who went with Holland is
said to have stated that the man did not
call him Jack" but Holland" A sin
gular feature Of the case is that his, as
Sailant sought to screen his face from
his victims sight but did not hesitate
to show himself at H,Mlanh'E. And,
| again. it is strange that brute who
would do giS he did would care what be-
came of his victim and should take the
trouble and run the risk of sending him
help. Altogether, the case has puzzling
features. and the more it is studied the
more confused it becomes. The stupe-
faction that first fell upon the public
with the story of the crime gave way
to Indignation and that to transportation.
Nothing is left now, apparently, but
grim patience. \ man said to answer
the description of the supposed assassin
is said to have been in Middlctown on
Friday of last week He said he was on
his way to Wyoming. Del, to pick
peaches. The man, however. wore a
straw hat and not derby. The Della
ware State detectives may be asked TO
look this party up.
