IN MURDER MYSTERY
Lead to Discovery Of Skeleton
Of Missing Woman.

Harrington, Del. = Following their
dog into the cellar of an abandoned
and partly ruined house on the Delmar
road, two sons of U. Grant Nicholson
made discovery that led to partial
solution of the mystery surrounding
the disappearance ten years ago of
Mrs. Ann Maloney, who at that time
lived alone in the house.
The boys were attracted by their dog
whining as If he had discovered an an

Ing some matches, the boys found what
looked to them like human hair pro.
truding through the earth.
The boys ran home to their father.

OF which the hair was still fast. On
examining it DR.. J. s. Strickland, who
lived here at the time of Mrs. Malo-
ney's disappearance. decided it was
hers and showed the farmers a mark
on one OF the bones which. he said,
might have been made by an ak.
At the time Mrs. Maloney disap-
peared it was thought that she had
been murdered for her money, and a
negro was arrested on suspicion, but
was discharged when no trace of the
woman could be found. and the belief
grew that the woman had moved from
the vicinity, as she had talked Of doing.

In the house a resolution proposing an

In explanation Of his resolution Mr..

Once. about four years ago. he mar

Croker Land Expedition viii
Start North IN July.

New York.-Plans for the invasion
Of Croker Land, which. was sighted
by Peary from Cape Thomas Hubbard
In 1905, are rapidly progressing. When
the exploration party sails from Sgd
ney, N. S.. on the whaler Diana in
July, under the leadership of Donald
B. Macmillan, the explorers will in
clude seismograph and complete
wireless outfit in their equipment,
which will be thoroughly up to date.
Electricity will also be utilized for
lighting, cooking the meals and heat
ing in the remote regions of the far
north.
1t is proposed by members Of the
expedition to establish seismograph
station at the home headquarters on
the shore of Flagler bay, which will
be in charge of Ensign Fitzhugh
Green, q. s. N.
The object of the expedition is to
discover and explore the unknown
area north of the present map of the
arctic regions and if conditions are
favorable to penetrate the Greenland
Ice cap.
When the expedition was first plan
ned Macmillan was a co-leader with
the late George Borup, whose death
by drowning about a year ago of
Crescent Beach, Conn.,. caused tenn
porary delay Of the starting of the
party.
According to Peary, who was accom-
panied by Messrs. Macmillan and 3D.
rup on his dash to the north pole: "Of
unexplored regions in the north there
are remaining but two of first impor-
lance, the inland ice cap of Greenland
and the area represented by the large
blank space on the map bounded by
Boring strait, the pole, the western
border Of the arctic archipelago and
the known open sea north Of Siberia.
The theories Of the coastal experts
have It that within this region lies an
undiscovered arctic continent or Sc
ries of large islands, the whole not
greatly distant from Banks island.
Prince Patrick island and Grant Land
(the western limit of the arctic archi-
pelago), while tradition among the Es-
kimos strengthens the, theories in fix
ing the southern edge of the unknown
land not far north from Point Barrow

Several thousand dollars have recent
~ been contributed to the expedition
fund. The American Geographical So
ciety has added $1,000 to its previous
subscription Of $4,000 and Zenas Crane
has increased his subscription by
$500. Other subscriptions include
