CORONER'S PROBE
ON TWO DEATHS
Groves Killed Accidentally;
DerriCO'S Case StumpS
Jurors

Despite evidence given by DR.. n. w
Briggs, coroners physician, in the
case of Frank Derrico. who died sud-
denly in the fire box of locomotive
at Todd's Cut last Saturday, that tbs
man was electrocuted, a coroner't
jury last night returned a verdict 10
the effect that death resulted from
causes unknown TO the jurors.
Derrico was working in the fire box
when he was heard to groan and then
fall dead. An autopsy showed that all
the organs of his body we're in
normal condition, and the physicians
judged death had been due to an
electrical shock.
AT the inquest 1t was testified that
there was an electric light on the fire
Dox and that Derrico was working
with an ar hammer when he dropped
the hammer and, after groaning, fell
dead. The man working with him
knew OF nothing that could cause
death unless the FIRE box was charged
N@N ~ was uUnOubtIdltQ l0dl lno
electric light wire carried but ia
volts and 1t was not crossed with any
high-tension wire, and later wah
found TO be in good condition.
Dr. Briggs testified that he held the
autopsy and he judged the youth had
been electrocuted. There was a long
discussion among those present as 10
whether a physician can determine bN
any internal conditions of a body that
electricity actually did cause death.
After listening to this argument and
the evidence, the jury returned a YER
dict of death due to unknown causes.
In the case Of John T. Groves, Of
Washington, d. c., a freight conduct
or on the Pennsylvania Railroad who
was killed at Edge Moor last Satur-
day, the jury returned a verdict %
accidental death. This was the second
inquest held in this case and this Jury
questioned the witnesses closely as
to the responsibility for the railroad
mans death. A verdict was then
returned to the effect that Groves
death was accidental.
The members of both turies were:
Samuel A. Allen, foreman; j. Daw-
son Artis, secretary; James Spring,
James Smith, John +. Spring, Jr.,

SET TRAPS FOR
AUTO SPEEDERS

Speeding on the part Of automo-
bles must cease, at least in the Fifth
Levy Court district. Levy Court Com
missioner Martin b. Smith has been
watching the automobiles and finds
that they run at fifty miles an hour
clip. No attention is paid to the
automobile law and as a result the
automobiles are damaging the stone
roads.
To break up the speeding Mr.. Smith
has established twelve traps in differ
ent parts OF New Castle. Red Lion
and White Clay Creek hundreds to
be kept in operation every evening
and all day Sunday.
The law permits a speed OF twelve
miles an hour by autoists. Violation
is punishable by fines Of from $40
to $50.

EASILY KING OF ALL GAMES
American National Sport of Baseball
an Important Factor in the
Country's Progress.

Baseball is a wholesome, democra-
tizing influence; like death, it is a
mighty leveler, destroying artificial
distinction between man and man. 1t
has the advantage of being a sport
whose essential theory, like that of
football, it is easy to grasp, whether
YOU do or do not understand the fit
ness of squeeze plays and double
steals, Texas leaguers and pinch hit
ting, balks and sacrifices, inshoots and
foul strikes. The heroes of the dia-
mond have dimmed the luster of the
dime-novel villains and led many a
boy, in the zest of adventure and
OVERLOOKING animal spirits, to whole
some emulation. When baseball is
compared with the cruel and sangui-
nary pastimes which masquerade un-
der the name Of sport" in uncivi-
lied lands, the devotee of clean,
honorable and manly athletic compe-
tition is inclined to give thanks that
baseball is our national sport and
that the popularity of the game in
the United States is firmly and final
ly established.-Exchange.

STAIN ON NATIONAL HONOR
Business Dishonesty of a Few Men Has
Given Rise to Most Widespread
and Harmful Belief.

The American public buys annu-
ally, under the name of leather,
100000 pounds of glucose and ep-
som salts, All American leather, the
bureau of agriculture declares, is
weighted with eight per cent. on the
average of these adulterants.
Senator Hoke Smith, discussing
these figures in the light of the
Fourth, said:
"Adulteration is dishonesty. No
honorable man would adulterate.
What would George Washington
have thought Of adulteration?
'SThey who adulterate are respon-
sible for the low opinion of Ameri-

prevails-that low opinion which
finds vent in the story of Blank.

CHASE DEVIL FROM VESSEL
Peculiar Ceremonies Had to BE Pen
formed sefore chlnese Flron,en :
Would Resume Works.

The devil was chased from the
steamers bunkers while the vessel,
Knight Of the Garter, was on the
high seas recently The steamer ar
rived at Newcastle, N. S. Wales,
Australia, few days ago. During
the passage from Valparaiso, Chile,
South America, one of the Chinese
fremen was suffocated in the bunker
coal. As soon as the man was
missed all available hands we're set
to work. After clearing about 40
tons of coal away, they came across
the body of the unfortunate man.
The body was buried at sea with a
combination of Chinese rites. The
other Chinese, acting on their relig-
ious scruples, refused to go into the
bunkers, as they said there was
devil there. The captain, in order to
pacify the men, agreed to their re-
quest to chase the devil out." A
Chinese joss lamp was put down to
where the body had been found. A
salvo was fired, numerous fireworks
being thrown into the bunkers. A
chicken was killed, and its blood
spilled about the bunkers and sides.
After that fireworks were discharged
on deck to chase the devil as he came
out of the bunkers, and a detonator
exploded on the bridge, which signi-
fed that the devil had disappeared
overheard. Thus appeased, the Chi
nese turned to, quite satisfied there
were no more devils on board.
