MR.. PEARCE A
GAS VICTIM
Afflicted Cigar Salesman Ends
His Life While Wife
Visits
WAS POPULAR In
LARGE BUSINESS CIRCI E

Henry Pearce, Sr.. of No 900 West
Ninth street. one of the best known to-
bacco statesmen in this section of the
country and a representative of A. b.
Cunningham and Company, Philadel-
phia. killed himself at his home yes
terday afternoon by inhaling illuminat-
ing gas. Mr.. Pearce had been acting
strangely for a week. His body was
found in the be room shortly after 4
o'clock by his mother-inlaw Mrs. Wind
sor. who detected the odor of gas. Mr..
Pearce was dressed in his night clothes.
Although DR.. Florence Seward pro-
nounced him dead the Wilmington Gas
Company sent its pulmotor to the house
IN an effort to revive Mr.. Pearce Gen
eral Manager w. j. McCorkindale went
with the machine and although efforts
we're made for an hour to restore life,
they failed.
Mr. Pearce was seen about the house
oy his son at 2 O'Clock, and it is thought
he went 20 his own room about that
time and removed his clothing The gas
burner had been removed and a small
Oose was attached TO it. Pearce inserted
the tube in his mouth and turned on the
deadly flow.
Mrs. Pearce was at Baltimore visiting
sister at tho time of her husbands
death. She was summoned at once. In
addition to the widow, Mr.. Pearce is
survived by one son, Henry Pearce. Jr.
Not only was Mr.. Pearce well-knOwn
and popular with the cigar merchants in
Wilmington, but he was equally we'll
known and liked by the trade in the
lower part of the State. About ten
years he had been in the employ of the
Cunningham company. Prior to thai
he was employed by s H. Durstein here.
Mr.. Pearce at one time lived at St.
Georges and was engaged in the insur-
ance business.
He was AZ years of age, and was one
of the leading spirits IN the CONNER
cial Travellers Association. Funeral Di-
rector W. T. Haines took charge of the
body, but the arrangements have not
been made for the funeral

DISCUSSED

Paper; No Money for New
Street Work
HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT
GOES OVER FUR YEAR

During an intermission at the regu-
lar mesting of Council last night, the
members of Council retired to Mayor
Howells Office and conferred with the
Directors Of the Street and Sewer
Department relative to street paving
and the reduction of the grade at the
Tenth and King streets site for the
new county and city building A con-
ference also was held with officers of
the Wilmington Sanitary Company
relative to improvements in the
garbage collection system. This COM
pany has a contract with the city to
dispose of the garbage and Council
wanted to know if the concern would
object to having the garbage deliver
ed at the plant wrapped in paper. The
representatives of the company said
they could not place such packages in
the digestors of the plant, as the pa
per would interfere with the burning
This system is followed in Trenton,
n. j., which owns its own disposal
plant and garbage carts.
II was pointed out to the officers
of the sanitary company that it
would pay the concern to employ men
TO unwrap the garbage. the saw
ing to them by reason of hav-
ing the garbage delivered in
this manner being much more than
the cost Of employing such help. No
definite conclusion was reached,
however.
Owing to the failure of Council to
authorize a bond issue Of S150,000
for street paving this year, new
list Of streets to be paved next sea-
son was discussed by the Street and
Sewer commissioners, and the mem
bers Of Council. Each Councilman is
allotted a certain amount Of street
improvements in his ward.

Judge Emory Speer-more caustic

tribute pamphlet containing both the
letters sent by him to Judge Speer last
year, as well as new communications
1t is believed that the charge which
Col. Huff will embody in this pamph-

gress.
When Judge Speer read his decree
in the Huff bankruptcy litigation yes
terday morning, Col. Huff was on his

COUNTESS Meets
TRAGIC Death
Killed by The Discharge Of
Gun

Henley, England, May S.-"Deatf
by the accidental discharge of her
own gum" was the tragic fate of thu
Countess of Cottenham, wife of the
Earl of Cottenham. The countess
twin sister, daughter of the Marquis
Of Abergavenny, was found dead In
1910, with a gunshot wound through
the heart, in the grounds of the fam
lily residence in Oxfordshire.
Today's affair was at first mys-
terry. 1t was not known whether the
countess had taken her own life, or
had been accidentally shot, until tn.
Earl of Cottenham himself testified
at the coroner's inquest.
He said that he had been out with
his boys and when he returned and
found his wife missing, ne institute
a search, which resulted in the discov
cry of her body, with the gun beside it
near the stump of tree over which
she had evidently stumbled at the same
time accidentally discharging the gun
The jury thereupon returned verdict
of accidental death.
The countess was an enthusiastic
huntswoman and a fine shot She
frequently roamed through the pre-
serves of her estate at Elvenden
Priory.

SMALL LOT OF COTTON
RECEIVED YESTERDAY
At Any Of the Local Ware
houses

The receipt of twenty bales of cot
ton at one of the local warehouses yes
terday, the first receipts in many
weeks, interested the cotton frater
nifty here, who probably did not know
that such a quantity Of cotton was
still here, outside the warehouse
stocks.
The cotton came from neighboring
county, and will be sold here. The
price at this time is not inviting to
holders, being about II IL cents for
the best grades, or half cent under
market quotations two weeks ago.
There are still about 700 bales in
Americas warehouses, to be sold when
the market advances sufficiently.
