Troubles

NEW YORK, April 26.-David Will
cox, former president of the Delaware
& Hudson Railroad company, commit
ted suicide at sea last Wednesday while
a passenger on the North German Lloyd
steamer Barbarossa, according to a re-
port made by Captain LanSranter at
midnight tonight.
The Barbarossa ;.rriN cd at quarantine
this evening from Genoa and Naples.
Upon the arrival of the liner it was
reported that Mr. Wilcox had died Of
heart failure.
AS he had been KIN IN to be in i'll
health and had gone abroad recently
in the hope of recuperating. it was no
great surprise to his friends to learn
that he had succumbed.
Subsequent investigation, however,
according to the captain, developed ev-
idence that Mr.. Wilcox had shot him
self. gNr-s-
Mr.. Wilcox, broken in health sailed
some time ago and recently, because he
had not secured the benefit in health,
cabled his resignation of the presidency
of the railroad, which was accepted by
the directors, who chose mis- successor
in L. f. Loree, former president of the
Baltimore & Ohio end Rock Island
railroads.
AS president of the Delaware & Hud-
son Mr.. Wilcox took prominent part
in the negotiations with the anthracite
coal miners whenever a strike threat
ened the "coal roads," in which group
his company was classed.
With the late Samuel Spencer, presi-
dent OF the Southern railway, Mr. Will
cox acted as representative of the rail-
roads in discussion preceding the en-
actment of the rate law in 1905, and
contributed articles to various periodi-
Gals.
Under his administration the Della
ware & Hudson made steady progress
but not without severe tax upon tho
presidents nervous system. A severe
fall while skating last winter caused
injuries from which he rallied slowly.
1t was because of this condition he
sailed for Italy
The news of the nature of the death
of Mr.. Wilcox came as a shock to his
friends in this city The general i'm
preston of those seen tonight was that
Ill health only had prompted suicide.
For years they said he had suffered
from gout, rheumatism and an affec-
ton of the kidneys

ChokeS Woman with
Iron Grip of
Insanity
PatrolmanH Has Desperate
Struggle to Shackle
His Prisoner
Crazy Man Escapes from Patton ln-
sane Asylum, but viii Be Re-
turned to That Instl-
tuition Today

After desperate attempt to wreak
vengeance on his wife for wrongs he
fancied she had done him, F. C. Brown
sci, an escaped maniac from the Pat
ton insane asylum, was arrested by
Patrolman L. w. Marden yesterday
after the latter had chased the crazy
man for four blocks and fought with
him for his life.
Brownsel lived with his wife and
family at 1854 East Twenty-eighth
street. Several years ago he was COM
mitted to Patton, where he was
watched with great care by the attend
ants, who feared an outbreak on his
part.
The man is said to be exceptionally
cunning and despite the care taken by
the guards succeeded in escaping ten
days ago and came toward Los Ange-
les. The police in all towns on his
route were notified to watch for him,
but Brownsel succeeded in eluding
their watchfulness and yesterday morn
ing reached Los Angeles.
Wife Was Warned
He went to the house where his wife
and children live. Mrs. Brownsel was
sweeping the front rooms when the
man entered through rear door. She
/ had been informed by the police that
her husband had escaped and had been
warned to notify the officers as soon
as he appeared. When Mrs. Brownsel
saw him enter the house she sprang
for the front door, intending to get to
telephone and let the officers know of
her husbands return.
Before she reached the door her hus-
band was upon her and for several
moments the man and woman fought,
he seeking to choke her and she fight
ing to break from his grip.
At last she succeeded, and, rushing
from the house, screamed to neigh
bors that Brownsel had returned and
was trying to kill her.
Children in the neighborhood ran for
Patrolman Marden, who was a short
distance away, and the officer hurried
to the house He was met near the
front gate by Mrs. Brownsel, who was
still painting from her fight with her
husband. Mrs Brownsel told the Of
ficer Of her husbands attempt to kill
her and the patrolman rushed into the
house AS he did so Brownsel fled
through the rear door.
Fights with Maniac
He was closely pursued by the patrol
man and for four blocks the two men
ran. Marden had been gaining during
the race and at last laid his hand on
the fugitives shoulder. In a flash
Brownsel swung around and grappled
with his captor For several minutes
the men fought, Brownsel snorting
fierce cries of rage and the officer fight
ing to handcuff the maniac. At last,
overcome by his eXertions, the maniac
sunk exhausted to the ground, where
he was securely bound and held until
the patrol wagon arrived. He was then
taken to the central police station,
where he was booked at 4:20 as insane.
The officials at Patton were notified
of his capture last night and sent word
to the police that they would send Of
ficers for him today.

EXTENSION OF LINE
CURRENTLY REPORTED
Indianapolis & Eastern May
Run to COnnerSviIle.
MCGOWAN is THE FACTOR

1t is the common talk at Richmond
traction line that the system is to be
extended to Connersvil,e at an early
day.
1t is generally known that the great
Indiana and Ohio traction merger syn
dictate recently secured control of the
I. & E. lines. including that portion
ban company, which owned the line
running from Richmond to Dublin and
also the two-mile spur from Cam
bridge City to Milton.
The rumor now is that Hugh Nc
Gowan, president of the syndicate.
has leased from the l.. +. & W. rail-
road company its section of road from
Beesons Station to Connersville used
by that company, for long term of
years; that the four mile gap between
Beesons and Milton, to connect with
the line there will be built anew and
that extensions down into the BUSH
ness district will be made, at the Con-
nersville end of the line, the whole
to be put into operation as soon as
possible.
While definite statements can not
be made regarding the matter Il is
known that MCGOWAN would be glad
to have Connersville connection.
Moreover. the plan is in every way
plausible and the matter Of leasing
the l.. f. & w line has been discuss
ed for years.
Mr.. MCGOWAN is regarded as one OF
the most successful traction manag-
ers of the country and if he has taken
the matter up as is reported, he will
lose but little time in getting the line
into running order

the first American ambassador to the
court of st. James. was unveiled here
this afternoon with exercises of the
simplest character. There was no mil

confined to addresses. prayer and the
singing of hymns. The absence of
former President Cleveland who is ill

was read by John Bassett Moore, pro-
fessor of international law at Column
bia university. Other participants in
the ceremonies were Judge George

Episcopal diocese of Delaware.
The weather was clear and warm
and great crowds from all parts of the
state came to witness the unwilling.
Mrs. Mary Clymer Bayard. widow of
the statesman honored today. and her
daughter. witnessed the unwilling.
The memorial occupies command
ing position at the entrance to Rock
Cord park. The location is a triangle
formed by three avenues and overlooks
the city of Wilmington, where Mr..
Bayard was born and where he lived
all his life. It's design is simple. but
imposing and in its entirety comprises
the most pretentious public monument
in the state. The statue itself is of
bronze. more than life-siZe. 1t stands
on pedestal of Brandywine rock, five
feet high. two sides of which are to be
ornamented with bronze tablets.
