There is q wealthy man OF this
city who, ever since he became we'll
to-do, has been pestered by the q
treaties Of local insurance agents to
take out q policy in favor OF his wife
and little ones. Not long ago he
determined to be revenged on them.
He called on a certain agent and
told him that at last he was thinking
seriously of taking out q policy. say
for $40, 900, but that before deciding
the matter he wished to examine the
inducements of two or three other
companies. Certainly" said the
agent, I" but do come aud dine With
me at the City Club to-morrow."
With pleasure" The rich man
walked away, and visiting three or
four more agents, told them the
same story that be was thinking OF
taking out a policy of 10000 or so.

what company he should insure.

winked to himself as he left these
agents, and accepted all their
ciyilities, and for two weeks his
family hardly saw him. for he con-
tinued to hesitate and procrastinate
and the agents continued to dine
him and wine him until at length,
having enjoyed immensely at the ex-
pense of the insurance companies,
he one day sat down in his Office and
wrote each of the agents a little note
in which he stated that he had
been convinced of the better adj

another company" and regretted

TWO BRIDGES CONDEMNED.
Third street and Railroad Bridges by the
Board of Port wardens.


The Board of Port Wardens met in
special session in the City Surveying De-
partment at noon to-day. Captain Alex
ander Kelley, master warden, presided
and there were present of the board, Job
II. jackson and Joshua L. Pussy, Chief
Engineer Robinson, the secretary, and
Seth II. Feaster, harbor master
The distractions at Third street
bridge were first considered. The fend-
ers of the bridge have almost entirely
rotted away and their dilapidated con
dition is endangering navigation. Re
Gently three boats have been seriously
damaged by having their course turned
as they entered the draw. AT any time a
serious accident is probable. The Levy
Court commissioners have purposely al
lowed the tenders TO 90 to ruin for the
reason thata new bridge is contemplated.
At the July meeting II the
board the Levy Court was notified
of the danger Of the bridge but no notice
was taken Of the communication. on
motion of Mr.. Pussy the secretary was
instructed to notify the Levy Court
again OF the condition of affairs and uroe
upon them the necessity Of immediate
action.
Master Warden Kelley called up the
matter Of the new p, w. & B. r. n. cut
off bridge over the Christiana. below the
mouth of the Brandywine This work
was put up by the railroad company con
trary to law Before the erection Of q
bridge over the Chrstiana it is required
first to obtain from the Board Of Port
Wardens a license to build, and to the
board there must also be submitted plan
of the work proposed The railroad
company ignored these requirements and
paid no attention to the board but pro
ceeded to erect the bridge with a draw
only "a feet, six feet less than the legal
width. The two approaches and piling
of the bridge have been extended beyond
the wharf lines. The result is to make the
bridge a dangerous obstruction to navi-
CATION. The two approaches will act as
a gatherer of refuse and will eventually
narrow the river. There are number
of vessels that come to the shipyards
that are within few feet Of the present
width of the bridges, notably the City of
Worcester.
At the last meeting of the board the
bridge was condemned and letter con
tanning the list of complaints was sent to
the railroad company. To this no atten-
ton whatever was paid. The board then
sought legal advice Of F. G. Bradford.
Esq, as to its powers. That gentleman
in reply presented form of notice, set
ting forth the objections to the
bridge and stating that unless
the objections should be removed
by certain dates left blank, the board
would proceed to remove the bridge. At
the meeting to-day it was decided not to
send the notice suggested by counsel
until another had been sent by the secre-
tary simply calling attention to the first.
Until an answer is received to the second
notice the board will allow the matter to
remain in statu quo. Should the answer
not be favorable decided action will be
taken
