Pullman Burned to the Floor.
A Shock to the Community.

The news of Mr.. DeLario's death, re-
ceived here yesterday afternoon, was
among the saddest bits of information
that has come to this city for a long
time. All afternoon there was anxious
inquiries, each man asking his neigh
Dor if anything was new in the mat
ter, and the telephones connecting the
exchange with The Republican office
and the home of the city editor were
kept busy until way in the night, so
anxious were people to hear the de-
tails. There were vague rumors, none
of which could be traced to a head,
that the train was wrecked and scores
had been hurt, that the train had TAX
en- fire and many bodies were burned,
and that Mr.. DeLario's body had been
well night consumed. There was no
cessation of interest through the
night, and this morning, before the
office was opened, reporters were
asked to give what information had
come to hand.

Mr.. DeLario had been home to be

ffty-nine and was laid to his rest in
that famous little burial ground on
the heights Of Lansdown, Of which the
tomb of Beckford, the eccentric author
Of "Vathek," is the central monument.
In the same graveyard lie Elizabeth
