PHONES FOR RAILRoAD USE.
An Elaborate Long-distance System for
the Exclusive Use of Pennsylvania Rail-
road Officials.

An Elaborate Long-distance System for
the Exclusive Use of Pennsylvania Rail-
road othcials.
Philadelphia Times
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has JUST made an addition TO its facilities
which marks an important advance in
railroad history, A system of long-dis-
lance telephone connections has been
established between the most important
points along the system, including New
York, Jersey City, Philadelphis, Whining
Altoona, Pittsburg and Chicago. The
wires in each city run into the private
offices of the executive officers of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, SO that the
responsible heads OF the system have
within touch the means of instant COM
munication with one another.
The system is for the exclusive use
among themselves of the higher officials
of the company in the transaction of the
company's business, and under no circunl-
stances will the privilege be extended, No
outsider will be allowed the use of the
convenience even though he may desire to
communicate with am official of the
company. The wires are for the sole use
of .the leading executive officers in the
TRANSACTION of company business.
The telephone lines are more direct be-
tween points than the telegraph lines, and
having the advantage of comparatively
little exposure, are less likely TO be inter
| fered with in stormy weather,
The introduction of the new system il
| largely due to Third Vice-President Charles
l.. Pugh, who has given personal attention
| to the matter, working up the plans, map
| ping out the points to be reached ano
finally making the contracts with the tele-
| phone companies.

COT MosE THAN HE WANTED.

A Philadelphia Negro who Wanted to
Show Captain Chambers How he Could
"Do'' the Police.
Police Captain Robert Chambers was
making his usual visit TO the patrol
stables, near the p, w. s. B. station,
Wednesday at midnight, when he saw
negro acting in a very disorderly man
ner on "the coast" The negro staggered
up TO pedestrian and after shaking his
fist under his nose, allowed him TO pass
on. The disorderly Ethiopian's name
is Henry Kelly. As soon as Kelly
caught sight of Captain Chambers he
put off to the railroad station and when
the officer approached, wearing uniform
with captain" printed in large letters
on his cap, the negro insultingly in
CURED;
"What lie you; boss of the polices"
The officers only remark was for Kelly
"to pass on" or he would "run him in. d"
The negro withdrew to the Merritt
House corner, and began cursing Cap.
tain Chambers and the bluecoats in
general. He told the officer to come
across the street and he would show
him how the Philadelphia tough "did'
the police. Kelly added, II amt nc
wilmington niger; I'm Philadelphia
niger" s....--
Captain Chambers accepted Kelly'i
invitation to cross the street, and tn,
officer no sooner did so when the negro
made pass at him with his right. Th'
captain had no difficulty in lodging thu
blow, and almost at the same time on'
of his fists shot out in the direction o
Kelly's face. A few minutes later tn
negro was lying at full length on tn
sidewalk. The patrol wagon vas sum
moned and Kelly was bundled off to tn
police station.
Thursday morning, in the municipa
court, he was fined SO and costs.

Inouiries About Excursions.

Many communications asking why
excursions are not TO be given TO
Rehoboth and Ocean City this summer
have been received by The GAZETTE.
A well-informed railroad man states that
the railroad officials have not received
any notification that excursions are not
to be given to those resorts. Excursions
to those places, he says, do not pay; The
excursion trains are made up in Phila.
delphia and have to be run as 'empties"
from that city to Wilmington, they take
on very few passengers between here
and Middletown and the number OF
excursionists gotten south of the latter
place is not sufficient to pay expenses.
For these reasons the running of excur-
sion trains to the places mentioned is
extremely doubtful.

A Fire in the Uupoia on Top of the
Telephone Building Causes Consider

A Fire in the Uupoia on Top OF the
Telephone Building Causes Consider
able Damage.
A peculiar accident occurred in the
building OF the Delaware & Atlantic
Telephone Company at Fourth and Market
streets, about 10 p. m. Thursday, which
damaged 300 telephone wires and greatly
impaired the telephone service in the city.
As result of the accident over 100 tele-
phones we're out of service Friday,
while number OF men were diligently at
work in repairing the damage to the wires.
The night operator felt shock in the
receiver about 10 o'clock, which led him
to believe that something was wrong in
the cupola on top of the building. He
soon scaled the rounds of the ladder lead
ing to the cnpola and found tho latter on
extihgnishers,
It was discovered that the fire had
burned out 800 wires and set fire to the
cupola containing fully 1000 wires. The
cable entered the cupola from Fourth
street was damaged and will be renewed
at once,
Manager Mehaify of the Delaware &
Atlantic Telephone Company was seen
Friday and stated that the accident
to the telephone service was probably
caused by an alternating current wire
coming in contact with a telephone wire.
| He said the accident was undoubtedly the
most disastrous the company had ever
| experienced. Over one hundred telephones
are knocked out of service, but will be
placed in operation again as soon as pos
sible. MIR. Mehaffy said that in his opinion
| the storm had nothing to do with the acct
| dent, as the fire in the cupola was not dis
covered until 10 o'clock. The storm was
over at s o'clock or Whereabouts. Mr.. Me
haffy thought the trouble due to the
electric light wire containing an alter
mating current crossing the telephone wire
A look at the cnpola on top OF the telephone
building, Friday morning, led some to be
lieve that II had been on fire for con
siderable time without being noticed. Mr.
Mehaffy's solution of the accident l
deemed the most plausible one, however
CAUSED BY CONTACT WITH THE WIRE.
After thorough Investigation, Manage
Mehaffy finally learned that the troubl
was on the trolley wires of tine Wilmington
City Railway Company's West Fourtl
street line, between Van Buren, and Jack
son streets. The telephone wire runnin
into BeadenkopPs morocco factor
dropped, by pin breaking, and crosse
the two trolleys, and the current came int
the central station on a cable, forming a
arc at the end. The work OF repairing
going on as rapidly as possible, and all th
disconnected phones will be in operatio
in a few days.

Moriarity gave his opponent some telling
blows, while the latter acted mainly on
the defensive. The fight was given 10
Moriarity on points. Neither man re-
ceived much punishment, and at times the
conduct of the two men was SO tame ana
indifferent and so completely devoid OF a
spirit of real interest that many OF the
spectators vigorously Kissed them.
There were other interesting events. the

wrestling match between Jones and
Haughey, which was decided draw. In
the next event, a wrestling bout between
Wolff and Callahan; Wolff gained q fall
in minutes and 80 seconds. The victor
proved himself TO be remarkably active
man.
The most amusing feature of the even
ing's entertainment was three-ronnd
go" between Whalen and McGranery,
two "air" weights, who proved themselves
| to be remarkably clever with the gloves.
They received much applause.
Brewer and Lowe, TWO Warren Clun

round exhibition of the manly art.
| Owing to the sudden illness of Mcguire
he was compelled to forfeit the match
scheduled between himself and Spade, ant

the latter by default. An impromptu con
test was arranged by Instructor Mcdaniel
between Spade and Davis, which PROVED
TO be lively and interesting.
Wolff and Watson gave an exhibition o
sparring, In which the former had thing
pretty much his own way and showed hi
superiority over Watson.
These athletic entertainments are giveI
frequently by the Warren Club. and ar
growing in popularity with the lovers o
scientific sparring and wrestling. The,
are free from the obnoxious feature
which attend many such exhibitions Il

in the attendance and the consequen
financial benefit TO the club.

Mishaps OF the Taurus Fishing Party on
Fort Delaware Thursday Night--rhey
Were Caught In the cyclone.
A party of gentlemen. from this city
went down the bay Thursday morning for
a fishing excursion. They are every Que,
without exception, thanking their stars this
morning that they are safe and sound on
them to Fortesque Beach where some very
good fishing was had. A total capture of
not more than us sea bass weak fish, &C.,
was recorded everyone OF the party
catching something with the exception
of the two champion fishermen, William
I. Lyman and Frank Sharpley. The
large catch was slowed away safely in the
stern of the Taurus. The party was re-
turning merrily up the bay, singing and
otherwise enjoying themselves, when
| about o'clock they were struck by cy-
| clone. The waves rose to a tremendous
height. The singing was all stopped and
| suddenly it was a Quaker meeting. Cap
tain Smith rushed to the stern TO secure
the precious boat load of fish, but got
tangled somehow in the ropes and fell
| overheard. By almost superhuman efforts
he was rescued by William Lawton and
one or two others.
The party prevailed on the tugs captain
to run for shelter to Fort Delaware,
| Meantime, in the. furry, the boat had
broken loose. The fact OF the loss Of the
big catch still further dampened the party,
which already, everyone of them, was wei
to the skin by the high waves dashing ovel
the gunwale of the tug. Samuel II. Bay
nard, who was slightly affected by the
pitching and rolling of the vessel, signal
lied himself by shouting urgent and bust
nesslike orders from the basement of thu
tug, in secure position, where he was moi
