A COLT WITH 4 BEER THIRST
The Animal Causes a Sensation by Enter.
ing Dar-rooms and Drinking the Great
Teutonic Beverage.

The Animal Causes Sensation by Enter.
ing Dar-rooms and Drinking the Great
Teutonic Beverage.
David johnson, proprietor Of the
Centreville Hotel, is the owner of a 8.
year-old colt that has contracted the
habit of drinking beer and is now quite
fond of the beverage. On Saturday last
Mr. johnson brought the colt to this
city with the hope of finding pur-
chaser for it. Meeting a number of
friends at Sixth and Shipley streets
they were expressing their admiration
for the colt when a possible purchaser
appeared in the person of a brakeman
on the Wilmington & Northern rail
road.
Mr.. johnson and the brakeman dis
cussed the merits and dement's of the
colt until the latter asked the question
whether or not the animal was quiet.
The question had no sooner been asked
when the owner in order to prove the
gentleness of the brute made motion to
it TO follow him and straightway entered
corner saloon. The brakeman fol-
lowed hard upon. Obeying his masters
bidding the colt walked straight into the
saloon and took his position at the bar,
the owner and purchaser taking a posi-
ton on either side.
Mr.. johnson, then, much to the
amazement of every one in the room,
called for three glasses of beer. As
soon as the beer was placed on the bar
for the animal, it began tapping it with
its tongue until the glass was empty.
The two men aud the colt then re-
treated from the saloon, followed by q
large crowd, which, in the meantime.
had collected.
Not satisfied with what his animal had
done johnson ordered the colt to follow
him to another saloon. Here trio of
beer glasses were set out again and the
colt enptied his glass almost as soon as
his master, tapping up the beverage.
BY this time hundred persons had
gathered about the saloon and were
amazed to see the colt standing at the
bar drinking beer with relish. The
brakeman was satisfied with the gentle
ness of the animal, but he preferred
steed with sober habits he said, and
feared that the colt might get on
SLENDER" while on his hands and for
this reason he declined to purchase him.

Associated Press Dispatch by Spefaat WiraI
SAN Francisco, Sept 2.-The Chron-
icSes Visalia special says: An attempt
at wholesale poisoning was made at q
boarding house here Sunday. Mrs.
McDermott, the landlady, made some
ice cream and before freezing 1t she set
the mixture near pump to cool.
Eleven persons ate of the cream at din
ner and were Immediately seized with
cramps in the stomach and burning
sensation. Medical aid was summoned
and all are row out of danger. Inves-
tigation showed thai large quantity of

EVA HER oHY HEROINE.
The Notorious Adventures Makes He
Debut on tho Sthge.

BooNroN, n. j., Sept, Mrs. Eva
Mann, or Mrs. Robert Ray Hamilton, as
she prefers to call herself, made her debut
on the theatrical stage here tonight. Hef
posters state that Mrs. Robert RAY
Hamilton, the most famous woman in the
world, will appear in the play entitled All
Mistake Edward Warren supports
Mrs. Hamilton, and has been coaching her
for four or five weeks. Other members in
the support are Harry W. Mitchell, G. r.
Patterson, II. f. Sheehan, Walter Willis,
James Austen and Miss Ella Wieman.
The plny is society drama In five acts.
1t is said that Mrs. Hamilton wrote it her
self.
The plot is an adaptation of the story of
Mrs. Hamilton's life, great care being
taken to canonize Mrs. Hamilton
The audience tonight numbered about
three hundred people. Mrs. Hamilton
was not greeted with any applause at her
entrance upon the stage. She was simply
attired in a dark dress and wore large
leg-horn hat. Though her voice trembled
she seemed fairly self-possessed. But she
failed to rise TO the requirements of the
emotional scenes and the play as a whole
fell flat

1t is predicted that ut the next session
OF Wilmington Conference, which will
be held in this city, there will be such a
smashing of pastoral appointment states
that many heads will be made to swim.
The Revs. Charles Hill and j. B. Quigg,
who are completing pastorates at Elkton
and North East respectively, it is said,
are still good, solid ministers although
they are old and should and will be
given good appointments. The action
of churches which objected to the re-
cent extension of the pastoral limit and
whose pastors are completing the third
year OF their pastorate is being awaited
with much curiosity.

DEATH or fERD FUllmER.
He Expires Suddenly Yesterday Afterno,
--His Death Due to Paralysis of Il

He Expires Suddenly Yesterday Afternoon
--His Death Due to Paralysis of the
Heart.
Ferdinand Fullmer died at / o'clock
| Yesterday afternoon, at his home, No
80 West Ninth street.
The immediate cause of his death was
| paralysis of the heart. The sndden de-
mise was a terrible blow to his relatives
and friends, who had received assur-
ance only in the morning of decided
Improvement in his condition.
MIR Fullmer has been i'll for the past
five weeks. In June last he was taken
with pneumonia. He recovered and the
physicians ordered him to Europe, or at
least to Saratoga. He went 20 the latter
| place and was greatly helped by the
| change. He came back 10 Wilmington,
when almost Immediately he took ill
again.
The deceased was born May Both,
1888, in this city. For all his life he has
been music teacher No higher eulo-
GUM upon his fine qualifications for his
profession could be cited than the
kindly one of Prof. Rhoads yesterday
afternoon on hearing of his friends
death, "he was the finest teacher in vii.
mington."
Ever since the organization of Central
Presbyterian Church the deceased has
been its organist. Among that church
community he was very highly esteemed.
Mr.. Fullmer was a member of Eureka
Lodge, A. F. A. NJ, and of St. Johns
Chapter, r. A. M. Mr.. Fullmer was
unmarried
While Mr. Fullmer's demise had been
anticipated for many many days the
news of his death will nevertheless be
great shock to his multitude of friends,
and Will bring much sorrow to very
many Wilmington households. Mr..
Fullmer was perhaps the best-known
man in Wilmington and had
hosts of friends everywhere His
long devotion to his profession-music-
brought him in contact with nearly
every orc. As an instructor in the art
he had taught hundreds of pupils and
had performed the musical prelude to
scores OF weddings. Every one CON
coded him to be the finest artist in his
particular branch of this exalted art in
Wilmington, and his services were
always in demand. There was a de-
lightful charm about his musical rendi-
tions that instantly bespoke the man an
artist.
Mr.. Fullmer socially was much liked,
He was genial, cordial and warm in his
friendships, and usually with good story
or recital of some humorous incident
would keep company in the best of
moods. He went everywhere almost that
his fancy suggested, and had
heard everything of interest in a musical
line that had been presented for
score or more of years. He
was something of Bohemian in his
tastes, although he had a pronounced
fondness for Wilmington and passed ali
his his days here. Mr.. Fullmer will be
very greatly missed in this city and Lis
death will bring much gloom to the
community, and especially to the musi-
cal portion. A life which shed much
brightness about it is ended.

proposed bridge, II is always considered
mat It's road site would take an axial
line, cutting right through along the
direction OF the street to meet Eighteenth
and such street lines, and under no con
sideration simply bridging the Brandy
WINE at Broome, Washington or Van
Buren, and then allowing the course of
the road to diverge north or south along
such route as Jessup's road to find Its
outlet to Brandywine Village. 1t is
mentioned here, not for any virtue in
the proposition, but to meet what might
be the resort OF certain sticklers for
bridge anyhow as long as II suits their
Individual plans from the city side.
geographically speaking and consid-
ering also the way the more important
business avenues of the city south of
the Brandywine are thrown in an angu-
Jar direction against the trend of the
Brandywine, it will be apprehended in
the most casual glance at the latest chart
OF the city that Van Buren, street be-
comes the central point, and plainly the
most advantageous distributing line for
all the main streets west of Market
street 1t comes out at the intersection
OF pennsylvania avenue and Delaware
avenue. This bridge site would emerge
north of the Brandywine in u valley
which makes an easy approach. The
grade is not 30 feet at most above the
Brandywine. The lowest level on both
sides of the creek is found here. A
bridge could be built at this point with
out the expense Of filling in for the APP
proach. Coming to jackson and Adams,
on this side, the grades of the street are
level with the race, and only few feet
above the river. A filling in would be
required in order to bring the bridge up
TO the proper level above high water,
that is to protect IL from freshets. At
Jefferson and Washington streets there
are the high ascents already described,
although the street grades on this side
do not present the extreme difficulties
on those streets upon the north side.
Washington street bridge would be
within three squares of Market street
bridge on the north side the Brandy
wine, whereas Van Buren, street bridge
would find itself at an equidistant point
between place where another bridge
might subsequently be required (for in
stance at Rockford) and Market street
bridge.
Van Buren, street is the entrance to
the park or south side of the Brandy
wine and would be about the centre Of
the park on the north side. 1t would
be easily approached by the park drive
way or Eighteenth street. Its extension
intersects Elliott avenue and Twenty
fourth street, which meets all distribut-
ing points from Brandywine hundred.

wholesaling from 30 to 40 cents. There
is moderate supply of grapes. Con-
cords are selling from so to rs cents.

better filed.
Ounces are coming. They were
sampled at 81 per basket
