He entered West Point as a cadet in

with distinction. He. commanded a
corps during the Spanish war and was
second in command of the United
states troops operating against the
Boxer rebels in China. He was six

a resident and one Of the most dis
unguished citizens of Delaware. He
takes deep interest in all public affairs
and never hesitstes to take an oppo-
site view on a public question, If he
feels he is right-and he generally is.
His counsel is sought often, and al
ways gladly given. He keeps in touch
or only with local affairs, matters
OF our Own immediate concern. but
also with national and international
matters. aud he is always found to be
Wei posted on all subjects of public
concern.
AS soldier he manifested the same
keen interest in the welfare of his
country as has been the case in pri-
vate life. An especially interesting fea-
ture of the prominent part he took in
the Civil War was the capture of
Jefferson Davis at its close, the cap
tnre being made BY his command.

SK[LET ETONS FOUND IN
REHOBOTH SEARCH
FOR INDIAN RELICS
Joseph WiggIesworth Had In
.teresting But Non-Produc-
tive Trip.
WILL COMPILE A REPORT

Joseph WixElesworth has returned
from his archaeological exploring trip
To Rehoboth and was at his desk in
tie County Building this morning.
Although he found fftecn complete
skeletons. which were rcinterred At
spot near where they were found
where they can readily be got at for
future examination the results OF tn.
investigation are negative. and con-
sequently disappointing. because n
relics were found with the skeletons
by means OF which a hint of the iden-
t'ty of TIE human beings To whom
they originally belonged. could be de-
ttrmined.
Fragments OF Indian pottery were
turned UP by the spades of the diggers.
but these pieces showed no indica-
tions of having been buried with the
bodies. but were such as usually coll
lected at the surface on the site of
Indian camps or villages.
The land is known TO have been
the resort II Delaware Indians in
earlier times. in their summer visits
To the shore, and the testimony Of
those who have known the shore for
nation for the past so years IS to the
effect that 1t was then much farther
inland than at present, the water hav-
ing steadily encroached on the land
and washed it into the ocean.
: Rev. J.. Morehart of Cleveland
Ohio, who has been a cottager at Re
hoboth for the past 25 years and who
postponed his return home to await
the result Of Mr.. Wigglesworth's 8
digging, as he had originally noted the
skeleton recently exposed. told him
that skeleton had been found little
further up the. shore a few years
ago and stone axe found with il.
establishing the fact that il was an
Indian burial. Other skeletons had
been found also further down the
shore, group of seven having been
buried in graves radiating from
center like the spokes OF wheel.
Mr.. Wigglesworth was not equipped
with instrumSnts TO measure the facial
angles of the'skulls, but has no doubt
that they were Indians. The absence
OF buttons. rings or other articles of
use or adornment made. it unlikely
that they we're OF white men, some
thing OF that sort being usually found
peculiar fact disclosed was that
the Skulls pf Tour OF the skeletons
wtre separate from the bodies and
buried at the feet.
A detailed report is being prepared
which viii be presented to The Hfstori-
cal Society.
The excavations consisted of a
trench dug down 10 the original soil
line. and two intersecting trenches
covering a space of IL feet back from
the face of the bluff where the first
skeleton was exposed by the action of
the water. and about the same distance
on each side of the main trench. All
Of the earth turned over was puiyer-
ized and sifted. In the hope of finding
some buried object beyond the bones
themselves.
IT transpired that the building of
the Baltimore Y. NJ. c. A. which had
&c be moved further inland last season
owing 10 the caving in of the blun.
had been originally located directly
on top of the burial ground
A number of people who saw the
work in progress promised TO send
specimens of stone implements for Mr..
wigglesworth's collection.
