NAME FOR THE NEW TORPEDO
BOAT

Already there is much speculation
as to what the name of the torpedo
boat which is to be built by the Harlan
and HOllingswOrth Company will be.
The War Department rules require that
all torpedo boats shall be named after
naval heroes. Since the boat is to be
built in Delaware the suggestion has
been advanced that it bear the name of
one of the heroes of the Diamond State.
Those from which IT might be selected,
and which are uppermost in the minds
of Delawareans. are Commodore Mac
Donough, Commodore Jacob Jones and
Commodore Thomas Read.

4 DEMEHTED HORSE.
FUNNY FRANKS OF A DRAUGHT
HORSE OF G. w. BUSH AND SONS
COMPANY.

HORSE OF G. w. BUSH AND SONS
COMPANY.
A big bay draught horse belonging to
George w. Bush and Sons Company,
has been going through some funny
pranks for the past two days
The animal is evidently demented.
and seems to take great delight in
jumping forward and seems blind to all
motions made by anyone in front OF
him. On Sunday night the horse jumped
over his stall and was found yesterday
morning struggling on the other side
with the halter still intact. He was
worked yesterday, but performed the
same pranks as on the previous night
The stall was built two feet higher yes
terday and last night the seemingly de-
mented beast jumped over it again.
He was not at work to-day, but was
tied in the stable yard on French
street near Second. He broke the rope
with which he was tied on two different
occasions this morning and ran out
into the street across the railroad
tracks into the company's yards. Some
were afraid he would go overheard in
the Christiana, but'he turned at The
usual turning point.
The animal was attacked with g
similar malady four or five years ago
and recovered after a months rest Or
ders were given this morning to shOo
the horse, and this will probably b,
done this afternoon.
