Patrick Conroy Thrown Prom Ills
Wagon Yesterday.
Patrick Conroy, a driver for the River
side Lumber Company was badly injured
yesterday afternoon by the wheels of his
wagon passing over him. He was driving
a gray horse to the wagon on W est street
when the animal became frightened and
started on a run down the street. The bill
between 12th and 13ih is very steep
and after the horse had started to go down
it was almost impossible to stop him.'"'Con
roy stuck to his post until they arrived near
14th street when by a sudden jar of the
wagon he fell off. The wheels of the wagon,
which was loaded, passed over bis left leg,
breaking both bones,
bruised and bis bend badly lacerated. Dr.
J. Paul L ikens was called and attended
to his injuries Ho was so badly stunned
at first by tbe shook, that be could not give
his name or residence. He soon revived
however, and was taken to the Homeo
pathic Hospital for treatment. He lives at
105 Maryland avenue. Dr. Lukens appre
hends no fatal results from bis wounds.
The horse continued its flight turning at
14tb street and ran towards Market. At
Tatnall street it st.tried across the pave
ment and nearly ran into an open door.
Here it turned and started across the street
It was then caught. Neither the wagon
nor the horse were injured.
His elbow was
A BCLLET IN HIN BRAIN
A Further luvcatlgatlon Veeterdav
Discovers It.
The doctors continued their examination
of Riedel's bead yesterday afternoon, and
on tfao right aide ot the bead they dis
covered the bullet reposing in the base of
the brain, Thera wars no indications of
aoy bad effects from the bullet. Where it
bad entered there were several broken
pieces of bone. These in themselves wonld
have caused death In a few months. How
tbe bullet got to the r:gbt side of tbe bead
Is a mystery to the physicians.
There is nothing to mark tbe
course of tbs ball, all tbe inter
vening ligaments, joining tbe parts ot the
brain, are intact. This fact at first led the
pbyscians to believe that tbe bnllet waa one
that be said be had received in the Franco
Prussian war; but a eubstquent examina
tion of tbe revolver proved conclusively
that tbe bullet wee the one fired by himself
on tbe fatal morning, ot September 17,
1887.
Tbe bullet weighed 194 grains and Is of
44 calibre. Tbe brain was taken out and
shipped to Dr. Bu-b of the Klrkbrlde In
Bane Asylum, by whom it will be submitted
to a microscipe examination. After the
autopsy the the body was taken to the alms
house and was buried in t be Potter's field
yesterday afternoon.

Anderson belongs to the Chester.
Hinkle umpired very Impartially.
Tbe Longs belong to tbe Athletic Re
serves.
Amerlons play as steady ball as any in
the league.
The Americns will probably arrange a
return game with Chester.
I ITborp'e hit when Day was on third kept
the Americns f-om being shut out.
Green well, the Chester shortstop, is a
beautiful thrower. His coaching Is also
good.
A screen In front of the scorer's stand
now will do mors good than it will next
season.
Thomson's hit in tbe sixth inning was
tbe first that has been made by him in
this city this season.
In tbe sixth inning Collins, left fielder,
changed positions with catcher Betz. Both
men play good ball.
Tbe Americas and Wilmington will
again cross bats to-day. Another good
game will be put np.
Colline and O'Kouike were members ot
the disbanded Blngbamptoo, N. Y. club
and will now play at Hazleton, Pa.
In the eighth inning Thursday Collins
(Americas) was declared out for getting off
bis base after a font tip. before the ball
was to play. The question was then raised
whether tbe decision was according to
rales. Rale 55 of the American Associa,
tion is as follows: "In case of a foal strike,
foul bit not legally caught flying, dead
ball, or base runner pat oat for being
struck by a fair bit bail the ball shall not
be considered in play until it Is held by
the pitcher standing in bis position.
By an error yesterday the announcement
of the Americas-Wilmington game to-day
was omitted. The game will be a close one
and a largo attendance is expected.
Americns always puts up steady ball snd
tbe Wilmlngtons are going to work bard to
win. The teams wili be made op as fol
lows: Americns—McCoffarty, o. ; Thomp
son. lb ; Day, p. ; Campbsll, 3b. ; Thorp,
r. f. ; Collins,3b. ; Jones, i. f. : Foster, c. f. ; C.
McCall, s. s. Wilmington—Neister, p. ;
Hinkle, o. ; L. Hohen. 3b. ; O. Beben, lb. ; A.
Beben, c. f. ; K-nney, r. f. ; Knight, s. s. ;
Gormley, 3b.; McDaniel, L f.
From the above it will ba seen tbat the
same batteries will work against each
other. Thompson will guard first well for
tbe Americas, while O. Scheu bolds that
position for tbe Wilmington. E. McCall
will not play. Several of the Wilmington
men down for last Saturday did not show
np. It is to be hoped tbat they will be on
band to-day, so that the merits of tbe re
spective teams may be clearly shown.
Who will win?

Blatue was tendered a hearty welcome
home by tbe workingmen of America last
night Representatives of over 500 labor
unions ond organizations assembled in
Madison Square to bid the champion of
protection welcome to his native home.
Htandlog room only was lbs word from
the grand stand long before the proceed
ings begun. In front ot tbe stand tbe
crowd surged from 23d Ht to Delmonioo'e
and filled Madison Hqaare Dark away back
under tbe trees. Nearly 15,000 men were
assembled.
As Mr. Blaine on leaving Fifth Avenne
hotel, appeared in the street, there were
cries of "Blaine! Blaine! he is here!" He
moved toward tbe grand stand escorted by
Patrick Ford, I^vi P. Horton, Ex-Gover
nor Alger and Thomas C. Platt.
A hush came over the throng as, with
bared head, tbe statesman movtd toward
tbe centre ot tbe stand, "isn't he a grand
man," came In whispered words from a
thousand throats, and then the cheers broka
forth again, and there was no quieting
them till Hr. Blaine himself waved his
band for silence. A. E. Ford then called
tbe meeting to order, and David Healey de
livered the address of welcome. When be
had finished Ur. Blaine arose and stood
silsntly waiting until tha applause bed
ceased. Then ha began;
"Ur. Chairman; It would be censur
able egotism In me to taketbiemagnlfliceot
demonstration as personal altogether to
myself. It rather signifies the great popu
1er inerest in the question upon which I am
supposed, at least, to have a consistent
record and an earnest zeal. (Cheers). Yon
have before yon a contest In which that
great issue is to bejsettled by tbe American
people for perhaps an indefinite period tbe
one way or the other. The year 1887 was
prosperous, and the President at its close
proposed a radical change In the Industrial
system which bad produced that prosperity ;
and since that day there has been reverse)
and confusion in the commerce and menu
factures ot the United Htates. (Applause
and cries of 'That's true.') And the ques
tion before the American people is whether
be and bts administration shall be sustained
in that movement. (Cries ot 'No! No!')
"Against him tha Republicans, having
the best cause, have nominated their bast
ticket [Applause.] They have given ; to
you forlPreiident a man of civil experience,
[applause] a man of great purity ot char
actor, [applause] a man of great firmness,
who can give the country an administra
tlon worthy of Its best days [great ap
plause] and you have associated with him
a man whom to New Yorkers I need not
further describe than to say that bis name
is L. P. Morton, [great sheering] a man of
tbe most generous character, a man of in
tslligent compréhension of affairs, of tbe
wldest and most statesmanlike view for all
ths questions pending before tha American
people. Against these yon have two gen
tlemen of whom I would not speak in terme
other than those of entire personal respect.
"I wonld say nothing of the 1'resideut
other than that; and for tbs candidate for
Vice-President I would say that In him 1
have a friend ot many years' standing. I
am a personal admirer of Judge Thurman.
But I beg you to observe that at a critical
period in this country the Vice President,
George M. Dalles, on a casting vote in a
tied Benate, destroyed the protective tariff
of '43, and gained the free trade of 1848.
To day the Senate of the United Htates, or
on the fourth of March, when it convenes,
will have thirty-two Senators from the
solid Hoath and six Democratic Senators
from the North nnlsrs we change some of
them In the meentivie. A voice, ["We
will.'] Bix Democratic Senators from the
North! That gives them precisely the half,
and Mr. Thurman will be in the position to
re-enact the role of George M Dallas
forty-two years ag >. [Cries of "No, no."]
Therefore, however amiable a man be.and,
however able he may be, the more ami
ble and tbe more able be is the more will
bo his influence before the American peo
ple. [ Applause ]
"Now, gentlemen, 1 know that It is often
said that in discussing tbe question of pro
tsetive tariff we are always pointing out
what England is doing. Well, I have
lately been in England for some months,
sud I found in English public opinion a
very great difference upon almost all ques
tlous under tbe son. They are about
divided in two on what you call the Irish
question. [Laughter] They are about di
vided as to the foreign policy of Gladstone
and Salisbury; they are divided even upon
tbe continuance of the House of Lords
[iaoghtei], and they are not absolutely
unanimous in support of tbe monarchy
[laughter]; but there is one question from
Land's Ead to John O'Urosts, from the
Irish channel to the English ; in every
paper from one end of the kingdom to tbe
other there is one unanimous accord on the
part of Tories and Whigs, of Liberals, Con
servatives and of Radicals and that is thattbe
Honorable Grover Cleveland, President of
the United States, embodies in his person
the exact form of revenue and free trade
for the United States which they like.
[Cries ot 'Good! Good!" Applause and
laughter.] Now. 1 have no objection to
their right ot opinion, and if 1 had, it
wonld amount to nothing—[laughter)—nor
do I intend to speak in disrespect of tbe
English, for I nave received at their hands
very graceful »nd very grateful hospital i
ties which I would be a churl not to
acknowledge before an American audience.
[Cries of "Good!"] But that does not
change the e aential condition that tha
American people find their interest in one
policy, and that he English people want to
change that policy so as better to conform
to their interests. And tbat, gentlemen, is
the prime question before yon in tbe
United States.
"I am glad that this meeting is called in
the name of the laboring people—(ap
planee)— becau-e this question is from first
to last, from beginning to end, from ekln
to core from core back to ekln again, a
question ot labor. [Cries of Amen!] It
yon will agree to live In as poor houses,
and eat as poor food, and receive as poor ,
wagen ae tbe operativen in England receive
we can jnet produce ae cheap goods ne a
Democratic administration wants to see.
1 Daughter and applause ] But if you pre"
ter, with the pride and freedom and tbe
great aspirations of American citizens, to
better your condition, to better the condi
tion of your children,and of your children's
children after you, you want the industrial
system of protective interest that prevails
In this country now to bs maintained.
[Applause.] Why. gentlemen, the wage
workers of Great Brltlan and Ireland, of
England, Scotland and Ireland, as 1 stated
to day to some Massachusetts gentleman
who did me tbe honor to call, the entire
savings to day that they can draw upon in
tbs hour of need to that great kingdom is
not as great as lie to-night in the savings
bank of Massachusetts to the credit of the
wage workers in that small state [Ap
plause]
"Now, I will not In this campaign stop
to argue this question on any other basis.
1 have no personalities to Indulge io, 1 have
no sores to heal,[Renewedcheering and ap
plsuse, and yells of Blaine! Blaine! James
G Blaine!] 1 would rather have your cor
dial and heartfelt and magnificent welcome
than any office you could bestow upon me.
[Prolonged cheers and applause. 1 But in
this canvass, in which I shall take greater
or less part, 1 shall hold this question from
the beginning to the end as a question that
interests every man, woman and child in
this country that depends upon daily labor
for bread. There is no need of making any
law to protect capital. Capital always takes
care of itself and gels a full share.
"But there are laws that can elevate tbe
condition of the laboring men, and there
are laws that can degrade them, and the
Republican part; has stood for 25 years,
and it will stand, I believe, by the blessing
of God and tbe will of tbe American
people, 3% years more—[applause]—uphold
ing and maintaining that the government
which takes cars of the bone and sinew
and working muscle of the land is taking
care of tbe men that create the wealth of
.
the country and are entitled to tbe patron
age and protection of the government,
[Obeers and applause ]
"Now, gentlemen, yon represent a criti
cal state. You represent the State of New
York. Your votes are to tell on that one
Issue. Your votes can be decisive of that
issue. Do not be diverted from that one
question by side issues. Do not be misled
by petty squabbles on this or tbat small
issue. Do not be deceived by personal
questions of abuse on the one band or on
the other, but give your votes, ns Inde
pendent laboring men should give them, for
She intsrests of your own home and your
own fireside and thereby for the great in
terests of the great republic. [Applause \
"And, Mr. Chairman, I never thought of
that republic as I do to-nigbt. (Renewed
applause.) I have seen tha other side; I
have devoted something of the last 14
months to Bering tbe condition of labor and
laboring men in the other hemisphere, and
j I say without fear of contradiction that in
I no country of Europe,In no part of Europe,
or a part of any country, is tha condition
of labor comparable to that which Is in tbe
United Htates. (Cries of 'Yon are right,'
and applause.) Are yon willing to give up
your position? (A voice—'No! No!) Or,
will you maintain it? (A voice—Yes, we
will!) You caa maintain it by a strong
pull, and a long pull, and a pull all to
gather for Harrison and Morton. (Fro
longed cheering and applause.)
As Hr. Blaine concluded tbe applause,
with which his remarks bad been inter
spersed swelled out into a perfect roar of
"Hurrah! for Blaine! Blaine, Blaine,
James Q. Blaine!" The great statesman
eat down beside Mr. Morton amid such an
ovation os even be has not often received.
Then arose crlte tor "Morton ! Morton ' We
want Levi P. Morton!" For some time Mr.
Morton remained seated, only smiling.
But as tbe clamor grew louder and louder,
and stronger and stronger, n ntll it finally
sounded from one end of tbe mass ot hum
anity to the other, he arose, and, bowing
gracefully said;
"Fellow Citizens: Yon will not, I am
enre, expect a speech from me to-night. I
have come down here from my country
home to Join with you In extending a warm
welcome and cordial congratulations upon
the return of the Gladstone of America—
(cheering and applause)—who has in tbe
past as he will.ln ths future,as yon have ev
dence to-night,render yeoman service to tbe
Kepnblican cause. (Applause.) 1 thank yon,
gentlemen for yonr kinkly greeting, and I
bidyou good night." (Renewed applause.)
When Mr. Morton finished there were
wild cheers and tigers without number for
"New York's greatest citizen, Levi P. Mor

A M OO I, IS II CHILD.
Dissatisfied With Her Home She
Hangs Ileraelt.
Lizzie Neat, tbe 15-yearold daughter ot
Isaac Nsai, an employe of the HaCuUongli
Iron Company, committed suicide yester
day afternoon, at her home about one and
a quarter miles from this city.
The Neals live on a small farm on the
New road that leads ffom Union street, Ihta
city, to Hraudywinn Springs. About 12.45
p. m. yesterday she left the room where her
stepmother wes, the latter supposing that
she was going to taka a nap as was her
custom. Instead, however, she went to tb»
barn, etood on h chair and lied a worsted
sash In two knots on the front and beck of
bar neck and tied a third knot to a rafter
s bout seven feet from tbe floor. Hhe then
deliberately kicked tbe chair from under
her feet.
Hhe was not missed nntll her father came
home at A p. m. He a poo entering tbs
houes, asked
"Where is Lisztsf"
"She has gone to take a nap," replied the
mother. The mother went up stairs and
could not find her and oame to the con
clusion that she had gone to a neighbor'll
house. Hr Nssl started out to find her at
the neighbor's,)but he bad only proceeded a
short distance when he thought that pos
sibly she might have gone up Into the
bay loft to (deep. He retraced bis steps to
the barn and was horrified upon entering
to discover his daughter hanging to the
rafter. Hr. Neal was distracted, but be
managed to cell to bis assistance bis neigh
bor John Leaoh. Tbe body was cut down
and Coroner Barnhill notified. The
parents were almost wild with grief las«
night, tbe father threatening to
commit suicide, and It
with difficulty that be was restrained.
On the girl's breast was found a note
written in Ink, showing deliberation in bar
rashness. In it she complained of having
been denied some social privileges and bade
good bye to her parents, expressing the
hope that they would meet her in haaveo.
Tbe girl was unusually brigh',never having
given theallgbteat Indication of insanity Bhe
wnnld, however, become somewhat melan
choly when refused anything. A friend
bed been visiting her for the past fsw deys
and her father tbonght.it better that >ba
should not accompany the latter home.
This evidently worked on her mind and
did much to lead her to tbe rash sot. The
family were on tbs best ot terms, and both
of the parents thought a great deal ot the
girl.
The coroner after examining 'the body
sod hearing tbe facts gave a certificate of
death. There was no marke about the
body when cut dowo, except some slight
discoloration about tbs face, and upon her
face was a wild look, which her friend»
s sld was entirely foreign to her when
alive.
