FATAL ACCIDENT.
William D. Hall Killed by a Pennsyl
vania Railroad Train.

William d. Hall, aged about 80 years,
an employe of the American Bridge Co.,
was run down and killed yesterday af-
ternoon at Sixteenth street, By train No.
30 Of the Pennsylvania railroad, known
as the Delaware railroad accommodation.
Hall was crossing the tracks at the
time of the accident The deceased was
subject TO attacks of epilepsy and it is
presumed that he was attacked with one
of these spells when he attempted to
cross the tracks.
Hall was a resident Of Chestertown
Nd, and some few weeks ago came tC
this city and secured lodgings at Longs
restaurant, No. 2l9 East Front street
On Wednesday he secured a position with
the American Bridge Co., and he told the
people at the restaurant that he walked
10 and fro.
When found it was with difficulty that
he could be recognized, as his face was
badly battered in, it being evident that
after being struck he was thrown face
downward upon the ties. He carried a
dinner pail but this was torn into frag-
ments. As soon as the crew discovered
that the train had struck a man they
backed the train and picked up the then
dead body OF Hall from the tracks and
took it to French street station and Cor
oner Purks was notified.
In the pockets Of the dead mans cloth
ing was found a pay envelope containing
his name and also a letter written by
William A. Bramble from Colchester,
Nd, evidently a relative of the dead
man. a watch and a small sum of money
We're also found upon his clothing. The
watch, which was a silver one, had stop
ped at 257, this being about the time
that he met his death. A coincidence in
connection with the accident was in the
fact that the watch, although the hands
refused to move, continued running
Relatives of the dead man were noti-
fed last evening by Detective William T..
Jones and they will take charge Of the
body.

AARON BURR's LONG VIGIL.


The only alternative, therefore, was
to go by sea, and on December 3d.
1912, Mrs Aston went on board the
schooner Patriot, which was expected
to make the run from Charleston to
New York in five or six days.
Though formerly privateer, on this
cruise the Patriot carried her guns be-
low as a peaceful trading-vessel
should. Theodosia was accompanied
by her maid and the physician whom
her fathers forethought had sent from
New York to care for her on the yoy
age.
On the sea-wall of Battery Park Burr
waited long for the Patriot. To the
end of his life the gray haired man,
stunned and execrated by his former
friends, walked every day to the Bat
terry, looking out to the Narrows for
the sail that never came. Too much of
a stole to show his grief to the world,
Burr was heard to say that now he
felt severed from the human race"
Some time after it was evident that
the Patriot was lost, the rumor spread
that she had been captured by pirates,
not sunk, and that Mrs. Aston was
held as a slave.
No. no. cried Burr when he heard
the story, my daughter is dead. No
prison on earth could keep Theodosia
from me if she were alive
Until very recently there was moth
ing but the vague rumor to indicate
that he was wrong. A few months ago,
however, in a hut on the North Caro-
line coast, some pictures and other
articles known to have been the prop
erty of Theodosia were unearthed This
hut, a tradition, among the fishermen
of the vicinity, assigns to the leader
of one of the pirate crews which still
infested the coast in the early years
of the nineteenth century. What act
ually did happen on that voyage will
never be known. for no member of the
Inflated Patriots crew was ever heard
of after the ship left Charleston.

THE LOST DAUPHIN.

that of the Lost Dauphin," Louis
XVII Of France. Books and articles
innumerable have been written to
prove that this unfortunate child Of the
Bourbons died in the prison of the
Temple, in Paris, on June 8, 1895, or
to prove that he did not die there at
all. For the last hundred years False
Dauphins" have from time to time put
forth their claims to be considered the
rightful king of France, and though
the controversy has long ceased to be
of practical Importance the old discus
sion is occasionally renewed.
The orthodox belief is that after the
death of his mother, Marie Antoinette,
on the guillotine, in the Reign of
Terror" Louis, then a feeble child of
ten, was brutality abused and neglect
ed by his jailer, and that, gradually
succumbing to the effects of ill-treat>
ment, he died on June S, 1895, and was
hastily buried in some obscure grave.
On the other hand, it is asserted that
another child was substituted for the
Dauphin, that sixty thousand dollars
was given to the jailer, and that Louis
was carried down the Seine in a beat.
In their accounts of what happened to
him then the various pretenders all
differ.
In support of the theory that Louis
did escape there are certain well-au-
thenticated facts. In one document,
dated 1912. Louis XVIII speaks Of him
self as regent. not king, of France. NO
effort was ever made to find the grave
of Louis XVII, though the supposed
ashes Of Louis XVI and of Marie An
toinette We're exhumed and reinterred
with great pomp in the abbey of st.
Denis; and there are other indications
that the Bourbons themselves doubted
very much the death of the uncrowned
king.
There is also some medical evidence
to show that in an interval of two or
three days q very decided change In
the condition of the Temple prisoner
took place. Moreover Desault, the ply
stefan who had attended the boy, died
suddenly eight days before his patient
is alleged to have passed away, not
without some SUSPICION of poison, and
the physician who took his place
would not have been able to detect the
substitution had there been one.
In 1928 a Frenchman named Herbert
came forward as the real Louis XVII.
His story made little impression. At
ter 1880 a Prussfan named Naundorn
made himself more conspicuous, and a
few years ago the Rev. Eleazer Will
liams obtained quite a following in this
country. Williams. the scoffers said,

AN ABUNDANCE OF GOLD.

Reports from South Africa are to the
effect that this year the gold output will
be more than s1oo,ooo,ooe, and as there
is no diminution of the gold production
of other countries, it follows that 1906
will far surpass all previous figures.
The record of cures made by the cele.
brated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters far
surpasses that of all other stomach
medicines. The reason for its success
is very plain when you remember the
fact that it has often effected cures
after other remedies had failed. If you
have never tried the Bitters get a bottle
today and see for yourself what a won
deriul medicine it is in cases of poor
appetite, headache, vomiting, cramps,
diarrhoea. dyspepsia, indigestion and
malaria. Don't start on your vacation
without taking along a supply of the
Bitters to counterfeit the effect of

CHlLDREN'S GAMES.

The game Of hare and hounds origi-
mated in England about 164O.
Leapfrog is mentioned in the works
Of both Shakespeare and Johnson.
The game Of hide and seek came
from Europe about the beginning Of
the seventeenth century.
Blind mans buff found it's origin
with the Greeks, among whom it was
often INDUCED In by adults.
Skipping rope is a childish pastime
Of ancient origin. In place Of rope a
vine stripped Of leaves was originally
used.
The spinning Of tops came from the
Greeks. Records show that this kind
Of fun was in vogue at the time Of
Virgil.
Kite flying is about two centuries old
in Europe. Probably it originated in
China, where the practice Of flying
kites Is very ancient.
The game of seeing who can hop the
longest on n foot came from the
ancient Greeks, among whom it was
practiced by the youths for wagers.
