SAD TRAGEDY AT DICKSON.

within a hall hour after the accident.
The nestle at this point Is about 100

that tho woman was gioanlng tetrl

BOYS DISCOVER A
DECOMPOSED BODY
IT IS THAT OF A DELAWARE
COUNTY OFFICIAL.
While .Berry-picking Near the Notch,
Yesterday Morning, n Quartetto of
Providence Boys Stumble Across a
Human Form So Dlsrigured That
It Was Scarcely Recognizable Pa
pers in the Clothing Indlcato That
It Was William Luken, of Ridley
Township.
The decomposed remains of
William P. Luken, supervisor
of Ridley township, Delaware
county, Pa., and a tcsldcnt of Cheater,
Pa, were found jesterdny morning by
four small boys who were picking ber
ries in a clump of woods nt the Notch,
near what Is known as Vinegar Hill,
near by tho bridge crossing Leggett'i
cieek. A postal card was found on
the man's body with the address, "Wil
liam Luken, diestet, Pa," upon it,
and Cot oner J J. Robcit.s notified thf
Chester authoiltles. Prom the desctlp
tlon sent tlunio to Scranton it is the
same man, the description of his
height, build, clothing, nil tallying.
Hy teleiihone communication with
the Chester Republican, The Tribune
last night verified tho identification.
The man found nt the Notch appears
tj bo about sK feet tall, weighing
about 1G0 rounds In his pockets was
over $100 in cash, a handsoms sliver
wntch, two lead pencils, tha postal
mentioned above and several othr pa
peis. The cause of his death Is an absolute
mysteiy. Robbeiy, of course, aa not
the cause, as the money found on his
person proves, It consisted of a big
roll of bills and a lnrgo amount of coin
nnd was loose In his pockets, no at
tempt having been made to conceal it,
Coioner J J Roberts, who examined
the bod), Is In pos&esslon of every
thing found on it. William P. Luken
was one of the most prominent men In
Delaware county, being a leader in Re
publican politics He was elected su
pervisor two )ears ago nnd has filled
tho position In a most able manner.
Three weeks ago last Saturday he dis
appeared fiom home suddenly, neither
his wife nor any one of his four grown
up chlldi on having the least idea
where he went. In vain, Inquitv and
f-e.nch were made, but no clue was
found as to where ho was.
REASON PROISARLY ArTECTED.
Tor seveial weeks previous to his
strange dlsappeaiance he had been
suffering with a very severe attack of
tho gtlppe and it Is thought that this
affected his reason When he left
home he Is known to tinve taken with
him a veiy huge sum of money. He
wore a buslmss suit, a wide-brimmed
straw hat and heav boots.
The man found at the Notch has
gray hair, In height and weight tal
lies with the description of Luken,
wore heavy boots and a suit of good
material, and there was found by his
side n wide-brimmed white straw hat.
Theie Is no doubt but that tho
missing supervisor of Ridley township
and the unknown found nt the Notch
are one and tho same man.
The remains were taken oblige of
by Vndui taker Cuslck, and remov ed
to his e-tablshment on Washington
avenu". They were In a frightful state
of decomposition, the flesh being sep
al ated fiom tho bones, and swarms of
insects cov cilng it. The head is sep
al ated from the body and none of tho
ftatuies ire distinguishable, a ghastly
looking skull, with a few gray bans
on It being nil that remains of the
human head. From the condition of
the body it looks as though it had been
l)Ing In the vtoods for it least a month
or M weeks Tho recent heat Is re
sponsible for tho decomposition.
The body was discovered about 9
o'clock jesterday morning. Tour little
Noith Scianton boys, of whom John
Saltry, the young son of Patrolman
John Saltry, was one weie beiryplck
Ing in the vicinity. One of the lads
ventured into the thicket, and rushed
out almost immediately with a cry of
alatm. He had stumbled against
something and on bending over had
discovered It to be a formless body.
His oung coinpanlois loked at the
remains and then the four started off
for their homes, returning soon with
several men.
CORONER INVESTIGATING.
Coioner Roberts wns Immediately
notified of the dlscoveiy and during
the nfternoon arrived and examined
the body. He took possession of ev
ei)tling found on the body nnd then
Impaneled a Jury. An Inquest will be
held some day this week and the cause
of the man's death investigated.
So far, however, it Is n total mys
tery. Th theory of lobbery Is entirely
done away with, inasmuch as the large
amount of money found on the body
offsets any supposition that the man
coul 1 have been vvnvlld and killed by
hlghn)men. Suicide 1h the next so
lution to th" mysteiy which present3
itself. This, however, seems imprac
ticable. No weapon of any sort was found
near the body and it the unfortunate
did nwa with himself in any manner
it must have been with poison. No
vial which could have contained a
deadly liquid was discovered In his vl-
einlt) and It would appear rather pe
cullai at that, a stranger In the city,
picking a place so much on the out
skirts ns a desirable place for putting
an end to himself. The theory has

Hard to Duplicate It in

Scores of representative citizens of

Coioner Roberts, In examining tho
body, found a clipping from a Ches
ter newspaper which removes all doubt
as to the identity of the man. It was
legal ding the election of William P.

name upon it which was known to be
in his possession when ho left homo

BRIEF MENTION OF

Telegraph in Peace and, War" Dr.
J. E. O'Brien Rejected with Scorn
a ?20,000 Bribe Fred W. Zlzel
man, the New Chief of the Fire
Department, Is a Man of Action.
Officer Spellman of the Delawaro
and Hudson Station.
A current magazine article on "The
Telegraph In Peace and War," by Wil
liam H. Wilson, of Philadelphia, nuthor
of "Tho History of the Pennsylvania
Railroad," nnd other Interesting nnd
valuable publications, contains several
references to tho prominent Scrnnton
Inns, Supeilntcndent Richard O'Urlen,
of the Western Union Telegraph corn
pan), nnd his brother, Dr. J. K O'Rrl
cn, both of whom were nmong the first
telegraphers to be drafted Into the mili
tary service In the Civil war.
Richard O'llilen Is mentioned ns be
ing one of tho first four men who were'
called upon to go to the front, nnd
further on In the article In a discussion
of the confidence and responsibility re
posed In the mllltnry telegraphers, ap
pears the following.
"Richard O'Rrlen was offered nt one
time $20,000 In gold to betray his trust.
Doctor Wright, the most prominent
ph)slclan of Norfolk, had been drawn
by lot to kill the commander of the first
detachment of negro troops who might
enter the city. Lieutenant Sanborn, a
brave New England soldier, had th"
misfortune to be thnt commander, and
fell under the bullet of the assassin.
"Wright was captured, tried by court
martini and sentenced to be hung, His
friends brought poweiful lnlluenccs to
bear upon President Lincoln for a rc
ptleve, which up to the last moment of
the execution they hoped might bo
w lred.
"As tho minutes Hew feverishly by
nnd tho reprieve came not, his friends,
as a last resort, offered O'Rrlen $20,
000 to forge a telegram ordering
Wright's release. With tho offer, was
the further one of the freedom of th"
Confederacy and passage on a block
ade runner to Europe. Ho could hnve
) lelded to the temptation as far as hts
personal safety was concerned, but his
stein faithfulness made him refuse tho
offer with Indignation and contempt,
nnd Wright paid the penalty of his
crime."
Mr. Wilson's article makes mention
of Dr. O'Brien as "little John E. O'Bri
en, then only 14 years of age," acting
as military operator at Fortress Mon
roe, when tho Merrlmac was causing
such havoc there and thereabouts and
threatening to run up tho Potomac
and destiny Washington. "Little John
E. O'Brien" had the distinction of
sending to President Lincoln tho tele
gram nppralslng him of the glorious
achievement of the Monitor, and re
lieving the terrible tension and turning
gloom Into joy.
Dr. O'Brien, himself, Is tho author
of an Interesting article on "War Tele
graphers," published In the Century
magazine some ten years ago.
Fred W. Zlzelman, the new chief of
the fire department, comes to that po
sition thoroughly equipped for the per
formance of the arduous duties attach
ed to It. He has been an active fire
man for over a dozen years and knows
all tho Ins nnd outs of the department,
having served as district chief for two
)ears. He has assisted at all of the
fires of any consequence In the city
since he has been a member of the
department and his advice has been
fiequently sought In times of emer
gency. Perhaps the best Illustration of
his quickness to act when a fire is
raging is a little Incident at the blaze
which threatened to destroy Tho Rook
ery, at the corner of Spruce street
and Washington avenue, one night laBt
winter.
There are two mouths to the plug nt
this corner, nnd one of the companies
first on the scene connected one of Uf
lines of hose with one of these, leaving
tho other unused till the members of
the company could get their second
line ready to connect. They stationed
one of their number to guard the hy
diant, Now, Mr. Zlzelman, who Is a
member of the Nay Augs, happened
along about this time looking for a
place to connect his line of hose,
Esp)lng tho second mouth of this
particular h)drant he pulled his line
over and made to connect It.
"Keep nwny from here," )elled tho
man on guard,
"What's that'" said Zlzelman

Ho realizes thnt travellers are often
worried and out of patience nnd ate
not to lie taken as seriously ns per
sons who nre In a normal frame of
mind. So he smiles, quiets down the
excited one. gets him on the light tinhi
or the right trolley car and sends him
on his wny mentally sa)lng to him
self, "that's nn awfully decent, nice
kind of an oflicer that fellow In tho
D. & II." Decent, nice kind of officers
are not the rule In the railway stations
of the country. It may be tint con
trary travellers spoil the tempers of
these officers nnd sour their dlsposl
tlons before thev ate long on duty,
but certain It Is that most of them aro
bad of temper and sour of disposition.
That's one reason why genial Officer
Spellman Is so vastly appreciated.
