bers. The weather was all that could
be desired.
There was fine list of events on the
programme. Participation in the con-
tests was restricted to members Of the
school, with the exception of event No.
IA, (the open 4-mile run), in which some
high school (public schooD boys took

The closing event was an extremely
interesting baseball match between a
Friends nine and the Elkton Juniors,
which was won by the latter by score
of 26 to II.
Among the features of the game was
Terrill (EllItons) effective work at first
base and that of Haines at same place.
Also llaines' battery and Connell's
catching.
The open half-miie run excited con-
siderable interest. The race after the
first lap had narrowed down to three
contestants. 1t looked as if Constable
would win with Clinton Williams OF
high school (public) good third. But
the latter kept his position with No. Z
until the closing 100 yards, when he
made a plucky spurt, passing both rival;
and winning we'll. Principal johnson
Of Friends school came over to Princi
pal Berlin of the high school and con
graduated him on his wards success.

ne anu
for supplying That Region with
Abundance of water.
Chief Engineer Of the Water Department
Joseph A, Bond invites bids for II Church
arr lift pump Of the capacity of 100000
gallons in u hours. A stand-pipe, tower
and tank is to be placed at the intersection
of Elliott avenue and Jefferson street, in
the Ninth ward. The purpose of the struc-
ture is to meet the needs of the citizens
there and in the Crcston neighborhood for
better water supply.
The insufficient elevation of the Cool
Spring reservoir for this high region pre-
vents the water in the supply pipes rising
higher than the first story of the houses.
The Church air lift will afford the neces-
sary pressure. The pipes from the reser-
yoir will convey the water to Il 20-feet deep
well beneath the stand-pipe, which will he
octagonal in shape and II feet high. Into
the bottom Of the stand,pipe will run
tho 4 or 5-inch air pipe from the
Church air lift at the pumping
station which will force the water to the
iron tank ut the top of the tower, thus
aliording the necessary additional eleva
ton for distributing the water in the
neghborhood. The tank has Il capacity
for 5000 gallons. The air lift and stand
pipe have the additional advantage of
;ereating the water during the forcing
operation which fact the chief engineer
considers of special Importance in sani-
tary sense.

In Philadelphia, on Friday, Albert Hoff-
man, an employee of Lippincott & Co., soda
apparatus manufacturers, No. 1923 Filbert
street, was arrested, charged with threaten
ing to blow up his employers factory.
Hoffman has been out of work several
days, as he has broken arm, and told his
landlady Mrs. Schwenk, it was charged,
that he would make Lippincott give him
500 or blow up the place. The woman
declares she detected him making bomb,
but a search of lIoffman's room disclosed
nothing more dangerous than a quantity
of socialistic literature and pictures of the
executed Chicago anarchists.

Ex-mARsHlL MIN ULAiN IN LUCK.
with n Certain New Sprinkler He Thinks
His Orchards Safe from Insect Depre-

htts 7hio btpEt-
datfOns.
Ex-United States Marshal Henry II.
McNlullin was in town yesterday FOR
short time, but for those few minutes he
had no time TO speak about anything but
{; certain new sprinkler he has Just got
from California. He is enthusiastic over
his new acquisition. He explained how it
took him only six hours to sprinkle every
tree in his orchard and it was done
thoroughly too.
The motive power is hydraulic. The ma
chine is loaded on an ordinary farm wagon
and taken around to any needed point. On
getting through with his orchard he used
the sprinkler FOR whitewashing and in two
hours had given every one of the numer-
Gus outbuidings thorough whitewashing.
Mr.. McMullin became possessed of the
machine through the accident of certain
inquiries he had been carrying on with
parties in California as to how 1t was they
managed to harvest every year such q fine
fruit crop. The explanation was that they
all, without exception, used some descrip-
ton of sprinkler throughout the session.
Mr.. McMullin then sent for one, and yes
terday's operations are the result. lie is
delighted with the machine, the ease with
which 1t can be worked and its labor-sav-
ing advantages. The ex-marshal looks on
the invention as one of the greatest boons
10 farmers. He believes he can do here as
well as the Californians, that is to say, lie
can secure his fruit crop from the depreda-
tionS of insects by the use of the sprinkler.
The ex-Inarshal says any one can get the
machine at price ranging from $40 to

One of the incidents of Thursday s
violent rain storm was the continued
whistling screams of large fiocks of wild
geese heard overhead all over the western
part of the city between 0 and 10 o'clock.
The birds seem to have been hcwildered
by the fierce buiTeting rain and continued
for full hour. circling around the city.
They flew very low overhead As has
been the experience frequently before in
such storms the suppostion is that the
birds were attracted by the brilliancy of
the electric lights.

This Thursday morning Or. d. 0.
Pickard took a dose Of aconite in mis-
take for laudaaum, and in about one
hour he was a dead man. After tax
ing the dose he at once surmised his
mistake and returned to the store and
examined the bottle from which he
had helped himself, as he was in the
habit Of doing. He then fully realized
what he had done and at once went to
DR.. McDermott's office and informed
him. Mac at once took him home
just across the street-and did all
that medical science could suggest,
but the deadly poison had done its
work effectually, and soon DR.. Pickard
had paid the debt we all owe.
