For accidents and other misfortunes.
resulting in injury. Patroiman Charles
Hutton, of the Wilmington Police De-
partment, who was nearly electrocuted
while making a report from police
reporting box during thes torn last
night. holds first place in the ranks
of the police in any city. He has
been the victim of more accidents in
which he was hurt than any man in
the city and despite all his misfortunes,
he is still in good physical condition.
Last nights accident was not the
first one that nearly caused Hutton's
death by electrocution. In the hail
storm OF 1902. when so many wires
fell, he walked into a live wire, which
knocked him out, and it was sometime
before he regained consciousness.
Six or seven years ago. Hutton, while
a mounted officer, was thrown from his
horse and broke his collar bone. He
was confined to his bed for several
weeks on that occasion.
During the troubles following the
burning Of George White, Hutton was
stabbed in the hama by a negro at
Ninth and Walnut streets. This in
jury also compelled him to take a
lay-off.
Last winter Hutton slipped on the
ice and his foot went into hole. re-
sulting in his knee being badly wrench
ed. This injury kept him In the house
for several weeks.
These are only a few of the accidents
he has met with. When a boy Hut
ton was hurt a number of times, in
cluding being shot. His life's history,
so far as accidents are concerned, is an
interesting story.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK, an. 29.--Students of Della
ware College again broke out last night
In merriment. The - ,year exami-
nations being about the students
thought II time that residents Of
Newark should know thai the college
existed in the having Of a rousing good
time.
Two boys playing on valve instru-
ments In the dormitories started the
enthusiasm and youthful spirit Of the
cadets 20 burst into flame; consequently
the whole student body turned out zen
masse" and had an old fashioned
might shirt" parade.
Everybody was dressed in paiamas
or night shirts and headed by a hastily
gathered band in the same costumes.
the cadets ventured forth to the thor
oughfares of the quiet and sober little
town of Newark. Il was about eleven
thirty p. m. and the noise aroused all
the residents on the route of the parade.
The band played all kinds Of ragtime
and college airs while the boys lent
their lusty voices TO add TO the din
OF the occasion.
The line moved down the front path
Of the campus and thence east on Main
street to the railroad station at East
Newark. The cadets had hurriedly
gathered together some red fire and
roman candles and the glare from these
fireworks made the scene all the more
spectacular.
The students had hardly reached
Frazler's Drug store, before they burst
into their we'll known snake dance and
war song "Hail, Hail, the Gangs All
Here" The little mud in the street
did not halt the joyous crowd for an
instant but helped to make the fun
all the greater by giving the dancers
an uncertain footing and consequently
many funny falls. The latter put big
spotches Of black mud on the white
night clothes, while more than one
pretty Christmas bath robe was made
unrecognizable
At the Pennsylvania railroad station
tho cadets formed a circle and with
George p. Millington 10. as a leader
they sang a number of songs and gave
a few of their college yells. Then the
dance started again and the parade
moved west along Main street to the
b. g. O. tracks and back to the campus.
BY that time a throng had gathered
along the sidewalks so that when the
students returned 10 the dormitory
steps there was quite a crowd ready
10 witness any more of their amusing
pranks

Mark cast a nasty glance at the

after his release he may be unable to break the habit of referring to his sleeping room as cell. On Sundays of course comes chapel service, which continues from an hour to 90 minutes After service, attendance at which is entirely optional, every man Is turned out for exercise. With the exception of the walk of a few yards between the cell house and the shops, this Is the only opportunity that the majority of the prisoners get to breathe fresh air. If it rains or snows, even this Is denied them. After drill comes dinner and after dinner the key turns again. From noon on Sunday to 5:45 on Monday every man Is locked in his cell and loft to his own devices. On holidays, instead of chapel service and drill, there are entertainments, followed by few hours of quasi-liberty, during which talking is allowed.
 With regard to the meals, 1t is diff ficult to remain wholly judicial. Memories of many hungry days per- sst-days in which my plate was pushed aside untouched. However. l am willing to admit that the quality of the food was not so much to blame as the method of cooking and serv ing. As the years passed, I grew dCCuSlOittEu lO tlt uiGt, Ol lO sBioSl Ol it. To particularize, there were three modera te1y appetizing breal<fasts Pork, sausage, beans and bacon; and four most unappetizing: hash ttwice), liver and bologna sausage. Similar ly, there were three good dinners: roast pork and roast beef Ctwice), with a good vegetable and four bad ones beef stew, mutton stew, and boiled pork and sauerkraut twice). The suppers consisted of bread, weak tea without sugar or milk and diluted canned fruit of @ poor quality. But the most un- fortunate feature was that the good meals came together, leaving an ach- ing void on the other days. It is only fair to say, however, that men who had been in other prisons spoke very highly of the Saltwater cuisine, and to add that the conditions under which I worked were not conducive to the de- velopment of a healthy appetite.

 The beast ran to an open cave at the edge of the plateau and crouched there facing the dogs. To maneuver the horses was absolutely out of the question, so the loness had to be shifted again. For upwards of two hours then, by means of the dogs, hrecrackers, and lighting the

The dogs were feeling the strain of the constant baying. One by one they would seek spot of shade and lie panting there for while and then return to the fray. Sounder, being weak from dls- temper, was the first to give out, but he had done his share of the work Porters were sent back to camp to bring water. Because the ground was bad and the beast was on the defensive, photography was difficult, but Kearton managed to catch small bits of action here and there, with Ulyate standing by him.
