Shooting Oil Wells.

A torpedo man is supposed to be
an oil or gas well shooter-the man
who fills and lowers the shells and
drops the go-devil and then scoots

danger that obtains from descending

that rain down for q considerable
space after being shot high into the
air by the force of the explosion.

A GALA OCCASION.

Reliance Members Celebrate the One Hum
dredth Anniversary of the Organization
OF the Company.
The Tooth anniversary of the Reliance
Fire Co. was celebrated Wednesday at
the engine house, Fourth and Lombard
streets. Besides members OF the COM
pany there wore representatives present
from the other fire companies OF the
city, as we'll as officers of the Fire De-
partment, and members of the bar.
President Murphy gave history of
the company. 1t WAS organized on
March 4th, 1896, by Caesar Rodney,
James Leo and other citizens. AT a
second meeting on the 18th of that
month, committee was appointed to
buy an engine, and the next move was
to secure a house. When the war broke
out the members went into the army
and while they were at the front the
boys were left to run the company.
After peace had been declared the men
returned and went to work to rebuild
the company and their labor has been
rewarded by the substantial organiza-
tlnn and line equipment the Reliance
Co now possesses
Attorney General John Biggs was
then introduced, and, on behalf of tho
Friendship Fire CO., presented a horn
to the celebrating company. In pre-
senting the horn Mr.. Biggs said (:
Members of the Reliance Co., recog
ni2ing the important part you have
played in the building up OF this de-
partment, we of the Friendship come
tonight to present you with this horn,
this token of regard, good feeling and
heartfelt fellowship we have for you. :"
The horn, which was handsome
parade trumpet, was accepted for the
company by T. Bayard Heisel, who
said that the gift was worth double. as
it came from the oldest company in the
city.
The Reliance Co. accepted the token
and congratulated the Friendship Co.
for the work it had done for over a
| hundred years.
Col. William B. Norton on behalf of
women friends Of the company pro-
sented two service horns and fine
silver parade horn of satin finished
silver, suitably engraved.
In accepting the horns for the com
pany, I. Baydrd Heisel said that he
felt sure that the ladies' would never
have any cause to regret their kind
gift.
The entertainment was contributed
to by John MeIlvaney, Harry Wesley,
William Connolly and James Gillespie,
who sang: Rocco Nalinto of Philadel-
phia, who played on the harp and
Albert's Orchestra.
After the exercises supper was served
on the top floor of the engine house,

RAILROAD JURY'S VERDICT.
The Jurymen Decide That Engineer
Murtha was scalded to Death.

Aho JurYmen Dccluo Ihht tNusinecr
Murtha was suaided to Death.
The Delaware railroad inquest was
resumed at Deputy Coroner Chandler's
Office Thursday afternoon. S. l.. Rich
ards, operator at Woodside, testified
that he received from Clayton an order
to let train SO run to Mt. Pleasant, and
that he transmitted it in that way.
w. A. Fleming, train dispatcher at
Clayton, said he gave the following
order, in addition to the Woodeide
order: run tram 50 from Townsend
to Clayton, and meet 80 at Townsend, :"
which meant that the Queen Anne
train should not leave Townsend until
the northbound train had reached that
place.
Richard Hodgson, operator at Town
send, said the message he received
read; Let engine No, SO run extra
from Townsend to Clayton and meet
No. 52 at Clayton"
This is evidence that there was a
mistake made in the order after it had
left Train Dispatcher Fleming, and
that whoever made the mistake ia ac-
countable for the Misunderstanding
and the accident. The order as issued
instructed the trains to pass at Town
send, and evidently when received at
Townsend it was read to allow them TO
pass at Clayton.
After debating for short time tho
Jury adopted the following verdict:
Resolved, That James p. Murtha
1.-THE engineer who was killed. came to
his death on February Goth, 1896, by
being scalded in railroad accident
near Blackbird. "
