MILFORD COUPLE In AN
AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
MIR. and Mrs. Charles d. Abbott
Bruised When Car OVerturns

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles D. Abbott. of
Milford, narrowly escaped serious
injuries when their car overturned
Monday morning when the Abbott's
were returning from a visit with j.
Cow Evans, brother of Mrs. Abbott.
The accident occurred near Preston,
Md. The car in which they were rid
ing was Hudson coach. The rim
which holds the tire on the front
wheel is thought to have become
loosened and caught in the steering
gear on the car. The result was loss
of control of the car. It turned tur-
tie, but neither Mr.. Abbot nor his
wife were pinned under the car.
They were badly bruised but no SER
ious injuries we're sustained. Charles
H. Abbott went to Preston and
brought Mr.. and Mrs. Abbott home.
The car was so badly damaged that
it was not brought to Milford. The
body was bent and twisted and prac-
tically all the glass in the rear was
smashed. A new body will have to
be put on the chassis.
Mr.. and Mrs. Abbott figured in an
accident several months ago at
which time they narrowly escaped
serious injuries or death. At that
time Mr.. Abbott's car collided with
a passenger train at the Harrington
of the state highway. The
car was wrecked.

ALEXANDER MINNER DIES
N@ ATIHIS HOME AT BOWERS
Served as Correspondent For Milford
Chronicle For Several Years

Alexander Minner, aged 81 years
died at his home in Bowers Beach
on Wednesday afternoon, February
18th, 1925, after several months ill
ness resulting from general debility
and old age.
With the passing Of Alex. Minner,
Bowers Beach, Delaware, lost the
man who has made that bayshore
resort through a persistent publicity,
obtained by his writing of the news
of the fisheries the activities of the
oyster industry and the advantages
of Bowers Beach as a summer re-
sort.
His letter were printed in the Mil
ford Chronicle for the past thirty
years and in other weekly papers of
recent years. They were always live
articles of news told in an interest
ing way by a man who believe in his
subject and gave it form in a read
able and entertaining form.
1t was Mr.. MINERS efforts and
weekly writings that brought about
the building of a community hall
few years ago, which has been a fine
gathering point for the people in
social affairs of Bowers. The owners
of cottages to almost a unanimous
total, had placed their property in
his care for renting and welfare.
He was native of Kent County
and a member of one of the well
known families of the middle part
of Delaware.
The funeral will be held Sunday
at 1 p. m. at his late residence and

LYNCH GUILTY OF
End DEGREE MURDER
SAYS SUSSEX JURY
ROxana Man Convicted OF Killing
His Brother Several Weeks
Ago In Fight.
ASKS FOR A new TRIAL
James H. Tunnel, His Attorney,
Will Argue For New Trial
On February 18th.

Theodore Lynch, farmer residing
near Roxana, was found guilty of
murder in the second degree by the
having killed his brother, Clarence
Lynch, in a fight on the night of
December 18th. The verdict was an
nounced at 8 o'clock Wednesday
morning after the jury had been
locked up all night. The case was
given to the jury at 5 o'clock Tues
day afternoon and several ballots
were taken before an agreement was
reached. When the verdict was
made known, James M. Tunnel,
counsel for the prisoner, asked that
a new trial be granted the convicted
man. This acts as a stay to imposing
sentence. The judges set Thursday
February Goth as the date for hear
ing argument why new trial
should be granted.
The Lynch trial has created con-
siderable interest in the lower part
of Sussex County, where the muir
dered man and his brother were
well-known. The story of tn fight
and murder on an evening in De-
licity at the time and Sussex Coun-
tians very generally are familiar
with the details of the crime. Sew
eral interesting features developed
in the case as it was tried before
the court. One of these was when
the wife of the man on trial took
the stand against her husband. Her
testimony was very damaging to
him. On the other hand, Mrs. Clar-
ence Lynch, widow of the murdered |
man, took the stand and testified in
favor of the prisoner.
Mrs. Theodore Lynch, wife of the |
prisoner, testified that on the night |
of December 10 Clarence Lynch |
came in his brothers home and was
met outside by Theodore. They ap-
peared friendly she said, an walked |
into the house together. A short |
time later, she declared, Theodore .
became angry and drew his pocket
knife. He was persuaded to replace
it and he then rolled up his sleeves
and challenged his brother to COM

MANY MINISTERS WILL BE
SENT TO NEW CHARGES
Expect At Least Seventeen Changes
In Wilmington District.

Bishop Wilbur F. Thirkield, who
is to preside over the next session
of the Wilmington Annual Confer
ence of the M. q. Church in McCabe
Memorial Church, Wilmington be-
ginning on March 25 held his first
cabinet meeting at the home of the
Rev. J. w. Colona, D. D., superin-
tendent of the Wilmington district,
2310 Market street, on Wednesday.
While no information has been
given out as to the plans of either
Bishop Thirkield, or members of his
cabinet, it is understood that there
will be no change among the district
superintendent at the coming ses-
sion, although number of changes
of pastorates are certain. On the
Wilmington District alone there are
almost certain to be at least sewn
teen changes, number of them city
churches.
One plan which is to be tried out
at this conference, which is expect
ed to meet with the approval of the
entire conference membership, is the
making known to each minister not
later than Friday in Conference
week, just what he may expect as
to a charge. Heretofore there has
been considerable uncertainty, and
so that the minds of the ministers
may be relieved the Bishop is said to
have expressed a desire that the dis
trlct superintendent have all con-
templated changes in his hands not
later than Friday, and that where
changes are to be made the minis
ter shall know it in ample time.
Arrangements for the entertain
nent of the visitors, consisting of
approximately 25O ministers and 200
ay delegates, are well under way. |
So far as McCabe Church is con
,erned he church is ready for con-
erence. When the Rev. A. f.. Poore,
)astor of the church, was compelled
o relinquish his work and was
AIKEN to sanitarium in PhiIadeI-
'h1a, the officials of the church got
ogether, named T. Blar Ely chair
nan of the official board, and finish
ID the plans. Pastors of other CITY
hurches are also lending a hand
nd by the time conference opens
yerything will be in readiness for
he meetings.
