MccABB su1crDR SHR0UDED IN MYSTERY
iFrom sunday's Daily.l

tFrnm Sundays Daily.)
 Further particulars of the death of D. Townsend were learned yesterday, and show that he committed suicide, after carefully prearranged plan. He was in a business house at McCabe on Thursday night until about lo;3d o'clock, and appeared to be in hap. py mood, eonversing freely with sev. cral companions.
 Leaving the store at that hour he turned around at the door while 20. ing out and said to his friends, "Good bye, boys" Ordinarily on leaving company in the night time, he would depart without any other than the usual manner of leave.taking.
 Going 10 his cabin few hundred yards distant it is the belief that ns soon as, he entered the room he placed the pistol to his head and was in. stantly killed, shot being heard a few minutes later. An examination of the body showed the forehead to be powder burned, while the left hand also had powder marks.
 It is the mpposition that hc guided the barrel by holding it with his left hand and the trigger was pulled with the forefinser of the right hand. The body was not discovered until the next afternoon at , o'clock, when the hand of the deceased still tightly grasped the pistol. The suicide of this well known pioneer, is still cloth. cd in mystery. It is said, however, that he was burdened with trouble "nd about two months before confided to few friends that unless some thing occurred soon "life was not worth the game" His most intimate friends have not the slightest clew Co the canse of his troubles.

HORSE CARS WILL GIVE
 WAY TO MOTOR BUSES

CHICAGO, Feb. 10. -- Motor buses may delegate street ears to the same oblivion 10 which the horse, as n traction power, ignominiously retired some years ago when street cars first loomcd large on Chicago streets. Ger. tainly swift, quiet motor buses, ele. gan'ly unlike the rattling old horse buses have bobbed up in numbers all at once and have begun to run away with the traffic of the surface cars that are compelled to follow rails Some of the radical prophets at the auto show said that after all London was not behind but ahead of American cities with her buses although the auto bus, they added, would super. sede any horse drawn sort. "It is not alone the horse that Is to be relegated," said s. M Berry, secrs. tary of the Thomas II. Jeffery com. psny. "The street cars in their pres. ent form of course will outlive the hersey hut they also will go. The cxperinests now being made along Bssadvay. in New York, demonstrate ttst motor passenger ears travelling under their own power solve the transportation problem in the big business eenters. These automobile ears are able to go their own way and avoid the obstruction of the trolley ear variety. Chicago will en dorse this method of transportation because the loop system here is SC tangled mp. \ motor bus can take its chance with other traffic and crawl through places that are sur prisingly crowded, while the street ear must remain on the track and wait for blockade to be raised.

 PORTRAYED IN WINDOW
(FYom Sundays Dsily.)


 What may be termed a mining camp in miniature is reflected in a unique and realistic manner in the window of the Prescott Gas and Electric com pany, waieh has attracted hundreds of people in the past few days, to witness the operation of the various utilities that go to make up plant under full head of steam.
 The scene portrays mine and mill and to give the undertaking an exact essn.eYpart of what development in disste., the hoist Is running and the ore dump is visible. Four stamps are dropping, and the rock breaker i' crushing the product as it IS being raised from the lower levels. Ever the pump Is bringing water to tho surface and there is every indication that a dividend payer is in existence
 The motive for installing this plant is to illustrate the convenience and economy of electrical power and iti application to any mechanical utilit, in mines and mining that requires propelling force. The little plant i' the ingenious handiwork of A. W Keith. Gary vyne and Robert Con nell, and that it has been skillfull! and practically constructed is showr by the many who have admired it

BOAT OWNERS OF DELAWARE
UNDER BAN OF FEDERAL LAW
TAYLOR'S BRIDGE BOAT AND A
CANAL BOAT VIOLATE RULES

Henry A. Jordan Owner of the "Hor-
ace DaYid" of TaYIor's Bridge Takes
Exception to the Charge of Violation
Collector of Port Raymond, of Will
mington, was notified last week of the
imposition of a fine of $5 upon Joseph
A. Mullen, owner of the launch
" Evening STAR which plies in the
Chesapeake and Delaware canal,
because his vessel was not equipped
as required by the law. Mr. Mullen
appealed from relief of two penalties
not exceeding $100 each and another
not exceeding a fine of $3.50. He set
forth in his defense that he had been
informed that as his vessel piled only
in the canal it did not come under the
motor boat laws. This question also
came up in the Collector of Port s
Office and the department at Washing
ton was aksed for a ruling on it.
Collector of Port Raymond was in
formed that the Government consider
ed the canal a navigable water of
the United States within the meaning
of the Admiral law. A penalty of $5
was imposed in the case which Mr..
Mullen will pay upon being notified
today and he is willing to equip his
boat as the law requires. Another
case of alleged violation of the pilot
rules was that of the schooner "Hor-
ace David, ''owned by Henry A..
Jordan, of Taylor's Bridge, New
Castle county and captained by Will
liam Morris, of Camden, N. ]. The
charge was made by a district in
spectOr that the vessel did not display
any side lights when he boarded her
in the Delaware river one night dur
ing the past summer. In reply to
the charge the owner and captain OF
the vessel submitted statements, the
latter under oath, together with q
blue print of the boat, showing where
the lights were showing the night the
district inspector held up the boat
vessel. The captain of the vessel
contends that he did display side
lights but they were hanging low,
being in that position to insure safe
travel. He set forth that the district
inspector told him the lights should be
in the rigging and he Immediately
placed them in the presence of the
inspector who he said informed him
that there would be no trouble because
Of his visit. The papers in question
were sent to Washington.

flowers over them, the poets thought
of the Grave, came to me:
THE storm that wrecks the winter sky
No more disturbs their deep response,
Than Summer evenings latest sigh
That shuts tie rose
Here, their sleeping dust will re-
main until the morning of the resur-
recton, "when all that are in their
graves will come forth. =" About half
past four we left the old historic spot
and mOtOred to the old Griffith home
