The large steam roller was moved from
Tenth and Tatnall streets this morning
to Maryland avenue where il will be
used to roll the new pavement there.
The sight of this queer machine
running on the streets frightened numer-

narrow escapes from runaways occurred.
It made enough noise for a hundred
wagons and the people came rushing to
their doors as it passed and the street
urchins followed it as they would a
circus
