The Search for the Body of Miss AnnIs
Davis Unsuccessful - An Untounded
RumOr.
The work Of dragging the river for the
body of Annie Davis, the young lady who
was drowned In the Christiana ON SUNDAY
night, was continued all day, tut had proved
fruitle.s up to 3 O'Clock this afternoon A
rumor was started this morning
TO the effect that the yOupe
lady had not been drowned but was secretd
on board the San Jacinto by the crew To
prove the correctness OF the rumor several
policemen, at the request OF the brothers Of
the deceased, made careful search Of the
boat at noon to day, but were unable
to find any trace of the young
lady. The suppositiOn that the body
is buried IN the mud under the steamer
is advanced by many WHO cite sev raj cases
where bodies were not found for days after
they had been crowned by being forced 10
the mud at low tide by boats They think
that when the vessel leaves her
wharf on Thursday the body will rise and
be recovered. Some seem TO think
that the body is now floating somewhere In
in the Delaware, aud mention case
where a woman fell overheard at the foot
of Fourth street and the body was recovered
several day later on the Jersey shore near
Pennsgrove.

Laid over Until Next Week.
To keep track of the Bridge Committee of |
the Levy Court in the various matters Iela- |
tive to the new Market street bridge Is a |
very tedious matter, as all who have been |
watching its deliberations Will attest. The
committee met IN the Levy Court room and
opened the revised bids lor tile new bridge
as submitted by the Edgemoor Iron Com
pany aud the Delaware Bridge Company OF
New York, this morning.
These last bids were ordered at the last

for $4S, ,953.35,
The Edgemoor Iron Company offered to
do tie same work for S49,676.

The first bid offered by the Delaware
Bridge ompany named S43, 100 as the price
of the bridge, with wooden strlngers, and a
carrying power of 1000 pounds to the
square foot. In this the bid did not agree
with the specifications. The Edge Mool

100, or $1,000 mole. 1t was then decided b.
the com nittee to have iron stringers, ant
new bids were asked for, with the result a

the Edge Moor Company bid tor the sam'
work, with wooden striDgers, $4,000 NOR
than the Delaware Bridge Company, ant
only increased their figures 81, 100 for iroI
striugers.

A KUM-CRAZED VICTIM.
He Throws Himself In Front of q Freight
Train Hecanse He WOuIdn't be Dared.


Train Because He Wouldn't be Dared.
About 10 o'clock last night a man very
much under the influence OF liquor was seen

ceeded in dragging the man from the track
Just in time to save him. Officer Vickers

name as Thomas Atkins and his resi-
dence as New YORK, and said in answer to
"a question OF the Judge, that he was on his
Y to Washington, where he proposed en-
tering the oldiers' Home. He said that he
was an old soldier and was suffering from
erysipelas, the result of an old w@und and
that when he laid down in front of the
freight train it was not with the Intention of
doing himself bodily harm but to satisfy a
companion who had cared him to do it.
Ills clothing were in a very diapidated COZ
dilion. Officer NickeTs testified that the
man said while on his way to the hall last
night that "he was tired Of living
and wanted to die" Alter hearing

relating some OF the troubles she had had in
the night. The ghost which had walked
into her room looked something like a lob
ster and something like a scare crow. She
remembered that she had enjoyed a very
good supper OF lobster salad. When asked
how it was that she was able TO be out OF
bed in the morning, She remarked that sht
always kept a bottle OF PERRY DAVIS S PAIN
KILLER in her room, aud thar two moderate

driven the ghost away.
