THREE MEN KILLED
IN BATTLE ON TRAIN.
Pullman Car Passenger Stays Col
Ored Porter and a Conductor.
LII BETHEA BECOMES A MANIAC
Drowned Out by Fire Hose at VIII
nlington After an Hours Fight
and Bullet Riddled, the MUIR
derer Fell Dead.

Wilmington, Del. A battle in
which three men were killed began
on north-bound Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad train between Newark, Del,
and Wilmington, at o'clock p. M,
and was concluded at the Delaware
avenue station here. Several others
were wounded
The dead are:
o. E. WelIman, forty, of Philadel-
phia, conductor of the train
j. H. Bethea, forty, of Dillon, S. G..
Samuel Williams, fifty, colored,
Pullman porter.
The injured are
John ]. Wiley, forty, Wilmington
Park guard, shot in the groin and
hand
Mathew Haley, citizen, shot in
the leg.
Others were grazed by flying bull
let's.
The tragedy was an outcome of a
quarrel between Bethea, who was a
passenger, and Williams, the porter
in the Pullman parlor car Mercury,
bound from Washington, D. c., to
Jersey City.
Bethea, who had been drinking,
shot the porter through the heart,
killing him instantly. Wellman, the
conductor of the train, heard the
first shot and, running back, remon-
strated with Bethea, who still held
the smoking weapon in his hand
Although the negro was dead, the
slayer fired a second shot, the bullet
entering the victims stomach. Then,
without word, Bethea turned and
shot Wellman, who fell dead.
The double murderer, before the
passengers could interfere, barricaded
himself in the lavatory of the Pull
man car and threatened to kill the
first person who attempted to open
the door,
Meantime the train reached Will
mington. AS it pulled into the station
a hurry call was sent to the police
station. Police Captains Kane and
Evans, Sergeant Kelleher and squad
of patrolmen, reinforced by park
guards and posse of trainmen and
citizens, rushed to the scene.
Bethea was called upon to surren-
der, but he only opened the door far

volver at the police and the crowd
and fired at them.
After an hours fierce battling the
police saw they would be unable to
drive the man from cover and call
was sent to the Waterwitch Fire Com
pany for it's engine. The apparatus
responded on run. In a few min
utes Bethea, drenched with water,
staggered to the platform, and again
the police shouted to him to hold up
his hands. Without a word and with
an air of bravado, he levelled his au-
tomato revolver at the police and
fired several shots in quick success
sion.
Just as he fred his last shot Police
Captain Evans, who, with others of
the police force, had procured shot
gun, fired. A load of shot struck the
murderer in the face, but still he con-
tinued to blaze away. Patrolman
Baughman then fired with a pistol,
the bullet striking the desperate in
the right arm. He tried to fire again.
but Sergeant Kelleher fired and at
the same time sprang upon the man.
Bethea fell dead at his feet.
Bethea had gone to a Baltimore
hospital for treatment and had be-
come demented.

The use of colored shoes has grown
universal, especially for house and
evening wear, and there are all the
new, soft suedes in grays, fawns,
browns and white. When shades of
red, blue, violet, green and so on are
worn, the selection Of darker tone
for shoes Is worth consideration, for
a costume suffers for want Of a bold
contrast to strengthen its effects or
pull It together. as the artists say.

this law, and in all but
three the Government has been the
victor. In the matter of foods one of
the most frequent violations was
found to consist of underweight pack
ages. This practice is believed now
to have been practically stopped, al
though there will be no cessation of
the vigilance which has produced
such satisfactory results. In the case
of drugs there has been a determine
ton to prevent the advertising of pat
ent medicines as cures for diseases
for which they were no remedy.
Much still remains to be done in this
direction, but great deal has been
accomplished, and it is confidently ex-
pected that much more will be. The
use of preservatives without frank
