GASHED BODY
IN CINDER Pile:
B. & 0. Track Walker Finds
Corpse in Dump Near
Railroad

CHESTER. Sept. 30 The body of an
unidentified man was found late yester-
day afternoon in a cinder dump near
Woodlyn station on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad and the presence Of six stab
wounds indicates that the man was mur-
dered, and the county authorities believe
that they have another mystery TO un-
ravel. The body was decomposed evidently
having been buried for several weeks.
David McNulty, a track-walker. was
passing the dump when he saw a human
hand protruding from the dirt. which had
been washed away by the recent heavy
rains The man was apparently 40 years
old. feet inches i'm height and weighed
about l65 pounds. He was attircd i'm light
cotton suit, heavy cotton undershirt and
white outer shirt. The shoes. almost new,
bore the mark johnson Shoe Company.
Coroner Carr ascertained that there
were two deep stab wounds i'm the back,
two in the abdomen and two in the chest.
No cards or other papers we're found in
clothing. The place where the body was
found is a lonely locality. and the author
tiles believe that the man was lured to
the spot aIN murdered. then robhed. An
other theory is that the body was hauled
10 the place and buried for the purpose
Of hiding the crime.

will be had in the giving Of an entire
performance Of pictures and illustrated

have been made for film service from

about twenty minutes will be used each
performance, which with two illustrate
ed songs will make ABOUT two hours
and a half of entertainment at the
customary moving picture prices. The
kinetograph service is exclusive at the
Opera House and very few. if any, pic
ture will be seen that have heretofore
been exhibited in Wilmington.

AS TO BRYAN's LEADERSHIP.

In speech at Uniontown, Pa.
Monday night, MIR. Bryan declared
that he would relinquish his leader
ship of the Democracy only when the
Democratic party asked him to re-
linquish it.
Mr.. Bryan does not mention in this
declaration OF intentions that he will
continue until the people" reject him.
In three national campaigns the peo-
pie" have made it clear that they
do not regard the Peerless One as a
national leader. They merely regard
him as an ambitious candidate for
President. The question of his
leadership" therefore. is purely a
question for his party to consider,
and the people have no particular
concern in. the issue. They have
demonstrated their ability to take
very good care of Mr.. Bryan when
the question Is checked up to them.
And the adjudication of the ques-
ton of Bryan's leadership by his
party will probably be determined
solely upon the ground of whether
that party desires to regain its stand
ing as a national organization or is
ambitious merely to remain unde'
Bryan's leadership. The record of
three presidential campaigns leaves
the party in a splendid attitude to
decide the question.
The Democracy being the party
that must bear the expense. is the
one that must. necessarily, make the
choice. So let the discussion over
Mr.. Bryan end with that Kansas
City Times.
