liEATU OF COt. V. M. Wll.COX.
A Native of Madison and Highly 'Respect
etl There A Self-made Man of Great
Business Ability Had Intended to Pre
' sent a Soldiers' Monument to the Town
of Madison.
The death of Colonel Vincent M
Wilcox, a native of Madison, where he
was born and raised, occurred at his
home in New York yesterday. The
news was received in Madison yester
day afternoon. Colonel Wilcox while a
young man taught school for a time in
JMadison and afterwards kept a country
grocery store there. He later moved
to Pennsylvania, where he lived at the
time of the war. He enlisted in a Penn
sylvania regiment and rose to the rank
of colonel before the close of the war.
He afterwards moved to New York
city and became the head of the firm of
E. & H. T. Anthony, dealers in photo
graphic supplies. He had accumulated
quite a fortune. He was thrice mar
ried, his first wife being Miss Webb of
Madison and his second wife Miss Dowd
of the same town. He leaves two sons,
one by his first wife.Dr. Eeynolds Webb
Wilcos, who is a very successful physi
cian in New York, and the other a
young lad by his third wife. Some
months ago Colonel Wilcox became in
terested in the discussion then going on
in Madison regarding the erection of a
soldiers' memorial of some sort in the
town. Two sorts of memorials were
proposed, one a memorial hall and the
other a monument. Colonel Wilcox ex
pressed a decided preference for a mon
ument to the town. It is understood
that work in preparing the monument
is now under way and it is thought
that the widow, who survives him, will
see that his wishes in this respect are
carried out. The monument will be
placed in Madison cemetery. Colonel
Wilcox was abDUt seventy years of ago
and was a self-made man of much en
ergy and business activity. He mani
fested much sagacity in all his business
enterprises. The interment will prob
ably be in the Madison cemetery, ,

Discovered by a Vhysiolnn Very Sus-
lilvlous Circumstances The "Woman's
Son Placed Under Arrest.
Durham, May 10. Mrs. Ellen Mur-
phy was found dead in 'her home, sit
uated two doors from the Episcopal
church, at 3 o'clock this morning un
der circumstances that point strongly
towards murder. The discovery was
made by Dr. Mathewson, who was sum
moned, as he thought, to attend a sick
person. Mrs. Murphy owned the house
in which she lived and occupied one-
half of it. The other half was occupied
by her son Cornelius together with his
wife. He has been placed under sur
veillance by the authorities. The son
says that at 2 o'clock this morning
he was aroused and told that his
mother was ill and that she needed a
doctor. He says that she was alive at
that time. Dr. Mathewson, who was
the physician called, says that it was
3 o'clock when Cornelius Murphy came
to his house and that he answered the
call immediately. She was lying on a
lounge in a squalid room and about
five feet from her on the floor was a
pool of blood. There were three con
tusions on the head and one on the
right leg, which had apparently been
caused by some blunt instrument.
There were marks on the throat that
indicated that an attempt had been
made to choke the woman. The inside
door leading to the entry had been
broken in either before or after the
suspected murder, but the outside door
remained intact. A hasty autopsy
showed that there was a clot of blood
at the base of the brain. That organ
vas also somewhat congested, owing
probably to alcoholism, to which the
woman was known to have been ad
dicted. She and her son "had been
carousing for ten days. An empty
flask was found in the room where the
