The police have been much annoyed
of late by negroes who assembled about
the vicinity Of the "Hoodle" and shoot
crap all day long. The locality is selected
for the simple reason that it is impossible
for the police to approach the gamblers
without being noticed. TIE crap shooters
are frequently noticed by passengers on
the trains passing that point, and usually
a circle is formed and the dice are thrown
on the bare ground. When the negro
cries Come up T. and if "7'' comes up
he secures his winnings and waits for
another throw, 20 or II" he cries the
next time, "Save my house and home"
Thus the crap shooting goes on and in
this manner the negro carries on his
gambling as long as there is enough to
keep the game in progress.

Trout in Delaware County.


There are very few trout streams in
Delaware county. 1t is said to be one
OF the worst in eastern Pennsylvania.
Within the last few years efforts have
been made to stock some streams form
erly good trout streams, but with only
moderate success. Among the streams
which are said to have trout in them are
the headwaters Of Cobb creek, stocked
in 1886; hcadwaters of Darby creek,
stocked IN 1856; headwalers of Chester
creek, heavily planted in the same year
and since; headwaters of Ridley creek,
in which many thousand trout were
deposited in 1885, and a number Of
small streams in the neighborhooG of
Media. One of these latter streams,
which is said to have many good trout
in it, is a short distance only out of
Media, and runs into large pond
stocked with black bass. Of ali the
streams artificially planted in Delaware
county the upper waters Of Ridley crecl,
are reported to yield the hest results, as
the water ia remarkably clear and favor.

For nearly an houron Saturday night,
says the Philadelphia RtcDrd, Frank
Stevenson Of Clifton Heights. Delaware
county, was In danger OF an a"ful death
In qu!cksands. His rescue was ACCOM-
plished with great difficulty, and b. is
still suffering from the effects III his im.
mersion in the fnenaCIng element. ste
yenson, who is { carpenter, was al work
near Ardmore on Saturday, and 45gu:
1890 O'clock in the night started 10 wa.k
10 Manayunk. lie was pi3dd.ug along
merrily in the dark, with no thought OF
danger, when he suddenly fell into the
Schuylkill, near BCyle's Ferry, . short
distance below MIL Greek.
Stevenson dropped into spot where
the water was shallow, and lie at once
began TO scramble for safety. The more
he struggled, however, the greater grew
his peril. Below the surface Of the
water was soft ooze, and below that q
treacherous quicksand. He began to
sink slowly, but even then could not
realize his danger, and made heroic
efforts % free himself. The quicksand
seemed to grasp him with ientacles Of
steel, and the more fiercely he fought
10 free himself the deeper lie sank.
Down, down he went, the sands closing
about him aud finally preventing even
the faintest effort TO move his limbs.
Then, feeling his deadly peril, Stevenson
shouted wildly for help.
The cries fioated out on tho night air.
The employees at the SnaWmoHt water
works. on the other side Of tue river,
heard them and ~ once set ont 10 ind
the hapless one. Robert Mcknight,
Ernest Schwartz and Harry Long, three
Of the wOrkmen, put ont Ia boat, sad
pulling with Will, began the search.
The walls Of the unfortunate stevenson
nearly froze the blood In their veins,
but they were thus guided u Eim and
At last were able 10 fash q lantern upon
him. He had sunk 70 bis a-mpits in the
deadly sands and . little later would
have disappeared beneath the surface,
leaving no trace behind Of his awful
fate.
The boat could not be pulled close
1 enough for the men to haul Steycnson
ont, and Mcknight unhcsitatingly
leaped into the water 10 assist him. The
brave fellow also sank Ia the OOze, but
his companions managed to get him out.
Then using the oars for pushing poles
the three men managed TO get their boat
near enough for them to pull Stevenson
out They carried him across the river
and placed him in charge Of Policeman
Fullerton, who had him removed to the
Mauayunk police station, and DR.. McGeC
looked after him. His limbs were
swollen terribly from the pressure Of
the sand ooZe, and he was half dead
from exhaustion aud fright.

Remarkable Operation of Extraction Las
Saturday.

DR.. James H. Morgan performed an
operation which is literally unique in
the records Of local surgery in extracting
last Saturday from the esophagus OF a
child an open safety pin.
The child is the daughter of Mrs. bravo
No. 1912 Walnut street. and had by acci-
dent swallowed the pin. DR.. Morgan was
Immediately called in. He found It neces-
sary to use Finch foTceps in the opera
ton, which, however. resulted perfectly
successfully. The pin had entered the
throat head first, but in the extraction had
spread open in the narrow passage Of the
esophagus. The.e was some unavoidable
laceration Of that organ, but the physician
reports his patient getting along well.
