phone Trouble.
The wintriest of winter weather showed
itself to the community Friday morning.
1t means good-by to skating and the
advent of sleighing.
WESTERN UNION.
Manager Hall at the Western Union
office Friday morning said I'VE are all
right-not q break-none even in the city.

trict. 1t is good snow for u.s.
POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
Manager Brown said ave are all in

ing, with all the messages we can take.
We are in good shape all around"
TELEPHONE EXCHANGE.
General Superintendent Mehaffy of the
Telephone Exchange says: mo bad news
to give. We are working nicely. All the
trouble there is is q slight local one. II is
the sleet that knocks us out, you know.
Dry snow such as this don't amount to
anything. Telephone wires are working
all right throughout town to-day. I'm
very glad to have this good news to give
you"
THE STREET RAILWAY.
The City Railway Co. STARTED electric
sweepers out at l,30 O'Clock Friday morn
ing, and by o'clock all the lines were
clear and open for travel.
The big machine slashes the waves of
snow aside like an ocean tug in a head
wind down Delaware bay. The street rail
way tracks were open all the morn
ing. Not single delay has been reported.
Along the streets all good citizens are en-
ployed sweeping away store and office
fronts. Yet some serious accidents are re-
ported from slippery payements.
WRECK AT LANDLIrH.
The locomotive and two mail cars of the
second section of the southern fast mail
train which leaves this city at sol Il. m, but
which, on account OF the storm, was an
hour and half late, were derailed Friday
At l.andith. The wreck completely block
AIDED the South-buund track and until il
was cleared, which work was not com
pleted until noon, south-Sonnd trains had
to be run on the north-bound track from
u point above the scene of the accident to
near Old Swedcs Church. The wreck re.
suited in considerable damage but nobody
was hurt. The snow is supposed to have
been the cause of the locomotive and cars
leaving the track.
TRAINS DELAYED.
North of this city the storm was much
heavier and in consequence south-bound
trains on the r., W. Is u. railroad were
| from an hour and half to three hours
| late, The train which leaves here for the
Delaware railroad at S,l5a. IN. was delay ed

Kert His Wife In a Trunk.

The offense known in this country as
sequestration, or private imprisonment,
is far from uncommon. Only the other
day whole family was brought up for
trial on charge of keeping an idiot
youth in an iron cage until he had lost
all his physical as well as his mental
faculties, and similar case is now
reported from Evreux, in Normandy.
The authorities of the village of Neu-
bourg were advised recently by anony-
nous letter that peasant named Le-
huby was "sequestrating" his wife.
The gendarmes presented themselves
at Lehuby's house and asked to see his
wife. This request being refused, they
proceeded to search the place from the
cellar to the granary, and having found
no trace of the woman were about to
withdraw when one of them discovered
large trunk and asked for the key. On
the case being opened the figure of Nine.
Lehuby suddenly jumped up like jack
in the box, and she explained to the
gendarmes that her husband would not
allow her to go out and that whenever
he left The house he left her locked up in
the box, whereshe could scarcely breathe.
Lehuby was at once arrested and will be
tried for 'amateur mprisonment."- p

A welcome Ready For Bermuda.

We confess that the proposal of The
Sun that Bermuda join us is fascinat-
ing one. Why, indeed, should we not
annex Bermuda? 1t is scarcely farther
from New York than is Detroit or Hall
fax. The people are desirable. Less than
half of them are white, to be sure, but
three-fourths of the whole population
are worthy Episcopalians. An annual
budget of $4,000 provides government
for these people now, and their debt is
mere bagatelle. Already most of Ber-
muda's business is with the United States,
and our people make up the bulk of the
winter pleasure travel. We are frank to
concede that if Bermuda suggests annex
alton a great many of us will take off
our hats and cheer.-New York Com

Objects of the Peary Expedition.

The chief objects of the Peary expedi-
tion include careful examination of the
detached land masses which are known
to lie to the north of Greenland, and
which have been seen on previous expe-
ditions, not only by Lieutenant Peary,
but also by Lockwood and Brainard,
little or nothing being at present known
of their extent and general character, and
the delimitation of a considerable por-
ton of the east coast of Greenland, ex-
tending from Independence bay about
300 miles south to Cape Bismarck. This
portion Of the coast has never been ex-
plored, although it was seen Grom ves-
sells coasting in that vicinity Shout 200
years ago. He also intends to ascertain
the transverse profile of Greenland along
or near the seyenty-seventh parallel from
Cape Bismarck to Ingle6eld gulf. Along
this line Greenland is about $50 miles
wide. Incidentally he will also con.
