POLITICAL.

Hon. Ohio F. Mears, of Eastville,
Northampton county, has announced
his candidacy for Congress in the First
District, subject to the Democratic Pri-
mary, which will take place in June
This will be one of the earliest primar-
les held. People throughout the dis
trict are somewhat at loss to know
why it was absolutely necessary for
the Chairman of the District Committee
to go to Richmond and call this primary
before the ink was dry which affixed
the Governors signature to the act
separating the district. The people are
also puzzled why it was called so early,
that any one who should dare be a
candidate would scarcely have over
night to think about it. Mr.. Mears,
however, has entered. In addition to
his other virtues, he can think quick. :"
Hampton Monitor.
Richmond has just had another pri-
mary election. Balloting has cost that
city as much in the last twelve months
Congressman Glass on the Lynchburg
District will be unopposed for re-elec-
ton this year,
The Eastern Shore Herald says: 1t
has been nearly hundred years since
Northampton had congressman for this
district. In 1923 John Stratton of
that county served one term, and in
1S19-'21 Severn E. Parker served one
term, Northampton county can there
fore very consistently lay claim to the
honor for this time.

DISTRICT CLERK C. M. BIRD
DIES OF APOPLExY


Carl NJ Bird, clerk of the court of
the Fifth Judicial District, died very
suddenly of apoplexy at an early hour
this morning. He was in his usual
health Sunday, except that he was a
little nervous from over-work, the
business of his office having increas-
ed rapidly for the past few months.
Between two and three O'Clock this
morning he arose and telling his
wife that ne was going out to take
walk to quiet his nerves, went to
his Office on Third street. At seven
O'Clock Alberto Ruiz, the Mexican
boy who acts as janitor for the
clerks Office and Judge Pope's apart
ments in the same suite, found Mr..
Birds body lying on a couch in Judge
Popes Office. Deputy Walter Ray was
called by the janitor, and he notified
the relatives and proper officials.
District Attorney J. NJ. Hervey held
an inquest at 9 o'clock in the court
chambers, Justice J. A. Poage pre-
siding, and A. Pruit, Charles Brown,
Charles Whiteman, Claude Hobbs,
Will Allen and w. R. PLANT acting
as jurors. Four witnesses were exam
ined, Walter Ray, Alberto Ruiz, DR..
r. L. Bradley and DIR. w. T. Joyner.
The first two told of the finding of
the body. The two physicians stated
that every evidence about the body
indicated tnat apoplexy was the cause
of death. The jury examined the re-
mains to confirm this testimony, and
returned a verdict that death result
ed from natural causes, apoplexy be-
ing the ailment, as shown by the tes-
timony of the doctors. After the in
quest the remains were removed to
the Dilley undertaking rooms to be
prepared for interment.
From relatives it is learned that
although Mr.. Bird bore up while on
duty and among his business asso-
ciates, he had been suffering a great
deal of late with nervousness. He
was not able to sleep this morning
and started out for walk to quiet
mis- nerves. 1t is supposed that he
came to his Office and then realized
that he could not get back, and went
in and laid down on the couch in the
court chambers to rest
Carl M. Bird was born SO years ago
kat Mechanicsburg, Ill. He was the
aOn of a physician and druggist, and
at very young age was given a GER
tificate as a pharmacist and took
charge of his fathers = drug store
soon after he was licensed, mis- faith

TRAIN PLUNGES
THROUGH A BRIDGE.
Probably Seventy Passengers are
Drowned, and Many Injured


Atlantic City, N. j., Oct. 29.-As
the details of yesterdays terrible
wreck on the electric line of the
West Jersey and Seashore Railway
developed during the night, the dis
asteY became more appalling. The
probably will reach sixty-six, with
nearly a score injured, several of
wnom it is thought will die. Forty
eight bodies have been brought to
the surface. There were ninety per-
sons on the train, and twenty five
had been accounted for, which with
the @bodies recovered brings the to-
tai up to 73 This leaves II unac-
counted for and supposed to be
drowned. 1t is thought possible that
some of these fioated through brok-
en- windows and were carried to sea.
The wreck occurred at the draw
bridge which spans a small water
way about a mile outside the city.
1t was directly due to the draw fail
ing to work properly. A train of
three cars dashed into the trestle at
hign speed before the draw was pro-
perly locked. The cars jumped the
rails and the first two plunged into
the water. while the third caught on
an abutment and remained suspend
ed. 1t was from this car that nearly
all the injured escaped. The cars
which went into the water were en-
tirely submerged, and as the tide
was running in rapidly the divers had
hard work getting the bodies for
several hours
Three fresh divers arrived from
the places of those who worked all
night to recover the bodies of those
who perished in the railway disas-
ter last evening. The efforts of these
men resulted in bringing up three
more bodies The scenes in the tenn
porary morgue when the public was
admitted were heartrending. Among
the most pathetic cases was that of
Samuel McElroy, of Philadelphia,
who found his family wiped out by
the disaster. The bodies of his wife
and five-year-old daughter were in
the morgue, and three-year-old boy
was missing.
A few minutes after ten o'clock the
wrecking crew brought from the wa
ter the first car. No bodies were found
in it, but three bodies were brought
up with the lifting of the car from
its bed in the mud, which seems to
bear out the theory that some bod
les may have fioated out through the
windows
At eleven O'Clock today 81 bodies
had been recovered from the two
cars which dashed through the bridge
yesterday. How many remain in the
second car, which has not yet been
examined, is unknown, but it is ex-
pected that the survey will be com
pleted by noon.
