TEMPERATURE WAY DOWN;
PEOPLE ARE SHIVERING
Mercury Hovered a Few De-
grees Above the Zero
Mark This Morning

Although it has not been learned
whether Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick has
been issuing drafts against the Bank
Of Zero it is certain that the mercery in
the thermometer is very low today. Dur
ing the early morning hours the quick
silver made a desperate effort to reach
the dividing line between below and above
and succeeded in reaching the limit Of the
season. six degrees above. Pedestrians
went about the streets holding their ears
and with noses of a hue that would do
honor to a Coaster of many years ex-
perience.
The constant stamping Of feet by those
who were compelled to stand upon street
corners awaiting the arrival Of trolley
cars showed the severity Of the weather
At the p, B. & w. railroad station ar
rivng trains bore evidences of having
passed through a chilly atmosphere as
large icicles were suspended from the
roofs OF cars and passengers gazed
through panes of frost decorated glass.
Drivers Of wagons either sat and shivered
upon their seats or walked the streets be-
side their horses in order to keep warm.
This was the coolest day Of the season.
William S. Hilles, the lawyer, who lives
about FIVE miles below Delaware City,
stated that the thermometer at his coun-
try home this morning registered zero.

SPRENGER WAS
NOT A VAGRANT
Although Committed on This
Charge He Had $40 in a
Belt
WAS GIVEN HIS RELEASE TODAY

One Of those unfortunate affairs in
which an innocent man Is sent to jail
has just come to the notice Of the police
and in consequence the prisoner was
today given his freedom. The man is
Richard Sprenger. a German. He was
arrested with a negro named Jonathan
Williams about two weeks ago while
attempting to sell raincoat. The pair
were arraigned in the City Court and
being strangers were sentenced TO sixty
days imprisonment each for vagrancy
Though the police were ignorant Of II,
sprenger had more that $40 in a belt
around his body. Being a German and
able to speak but little English. the for
eigner unconsciously pleaded guilty and
was sent to the workhouse. At the
time he was arrested Sprenger and the
negro who was found in his company
were trying to sell the coat This
aroused the suspicion Of the policeman
who saw the pair and took them into
custody. II has since been learned that
the German bought the coat for Sl2.
He came TO this city from Philadel-
phia intending TO go to Delaware City
and embark there on a boat for Balti-
more. While in Philadelphia Sprenger
sent Ills Liuih 10 Now OIAtAllHf thIlttA-
ing eventually to reach that port and
sail for Panama. He can speak the
Spanish language as well as German
nuently and is bright IN intellect. He
Is a follower OF the water. having been
a sailor 'on the Great Lakes for years.
While in Philadelphia he stopped at the
Sailors Home.
Sprenger said that ne was afraid 10
disclose the fact that he had money to
the negro with whom he was arrested
for fear that he would be robbed. So
when his colored companion suggested
that they sell the coat he consented.
When searched at the police station
nothing Of value was taken from
Sprenger and It was not until ne was
stripped for a bath at the workhouse
that the belt OF money was found be-
meath his clothes. Since then he has
been making efforts to obtain his re-
lease and finally secured the services
OF Daniel o. Hastings. The latter ap-
peared for him in City Court this morn
ing. The case was reopcned and the
prisoner discharged He gave the coat
which got him into trouble 10 Jacob
Ewing, the colored janitor Of the police
station.

SUICIDE PROBABLY
CAME FROM MILFORD

Philadelphia, Dec. 1.-THE coroner
held an inquest today into the death
OF Edward Egbert, who was found
dying in a Race street lodging house
on Monday, and about whom there
seems to be an element Of romantic
mystery.
After Egberts death a photograph
OF a pretty woman was found in his
pocket. and the following memorandum
in the young mans diary is supposed to
refer to this unidentified girl:
Il cannot live without her. have
played my last card and lost"
This note was written In the diary
under date of Sunday, December II,
the day before Egberts death.
II is expected that some Of the
mystery that surrounds Egberts fam
lily connections viii be cleared up at
the inquest. Yesterday the young
mans body was removed from the
Morgue to an undertaker's establish
ment at the instance Of Dr. Cahall
Sipple. OF Fifteenth and Chestnut
streets.
There was a report that Egbert-
who was a youth OF twenty-three years
had wcll-to-do relatives in Milford,
Del, and that he had been married but
separated from his wife. This report
had It that Egberts wife was the sis.
ter OF a prominent physician with al
office in Chestnut street. when Eg.
bert was breathing his last In tn,
Hahnemann Hospital he murmured
ida, Idai" and repeated II severa
times. This may have been the wife
from whom he was separated.
The coroner's Office believes that Egg
bert estranged from his family and
friends. committed suicide. The au-
topsy shows that he died from opium
poisoning. That he was in need OF
money is indicated by a record IN his
diary made on last Sunday. II reads:
"Shoveled snow all day. Earned
seventy cents. I never thought that
I would have to do this to earn money
TO what base uses"
'Money-Life is a dream and death
is the awakening. 1 have slept long
enough. Farewell, nightmare life"

OTHER JUDGES May NOW
Be CALLED TO ACCOUNT
Swayne Case Likely to Re-
suit in Additional Inves-
legations Being Made
By Publishers Press.

Washington. De 14,-The case OF
Federal Judge swayne Of Florida. it
was stated today. may be followed by
an investigation into the business
methods Of a number Of other Federal
judges. who, it is claimed, have been
turning in exorb..ant expense ac-
counts. It has been the practice for
some OF them to present regularly bills
of ten dollars a day for expenses. It
was this ten dollar feature Of the
Swayne case which convinced the Con-
gressional Committee that Judge
Swayne should be impeached.
II he is punished for the alleged
padding of his bills II Is expected that
others will be called to account for the
same thing.
The Impeachment proceedings seem
destined to remain in the public eye
for many months TO come. The case
will be taken before the Senate where
no trial Of a similar character has been
held since the days Of Secretary Of War
Belknap in 1876.
