SUDDEN DEATH AT OCEAN CITY

Ocean City, Md, Sept All Ocean
City was startled about o'clock yes
terday afternoon by the announcement
of the sudden death of William War
ringtOn, Sr., manager of the Atlantic
Hotel who had been sick for nearly
two weeks from the effects of a slight
sunstroke while out with an engineer
locating some street and lot lines. Mr..
Warrington seemingly enjoyed dinner
with his family about O'Clock. Then
he went to his room, saying that he
would lie down for a while About 4
O'Clock his son, William, had occasion
to go to the room, and found it locked.
Receiving no reply from his father he
became alarmed. The room was OPEN
ed, however, by the son, who was start
led by seeing his father stretched upon
the bed lifeless. DR.. Paul Jones, who
had been attending Mr.. Warrington,
was hastily summoned and examined
/ the remains, pronOuncing death from
paralysis of the heart. The doctor said
chat Mr.. Warrington probably had eX-
plred about an hour before the discOv-
cry was made by the son. Every one
| here seemed to sadly feel the shock
for Mr.. Warrington was man beloved
by all who knew him. He had beer
! identified with Ocean City for many
years in various ways, and will bt
greatly missed. He was in his Seth year
and leaves a widow, two daughters anC
| two sons, all of whom are here except
the eldest son, a resident of Norfolk
Va.

GOOD SCHEME FOR The TROLLEY.

THE ADlOMAllC I'm lElNltOONllNb
SWITCH SIGNALS PUT IN SER
VICE LAST NIGHT.
On the New Castle electric railway
yesterday system of automatic inter
locking switch signals was put into SER
vice, and the first trials showed that it
will greatly facilitate rapid transit.
The signals look very much like
large mail boxes, and are attached TO
the nearest trolley pole at the opening
of track turnout" If the signal
does not show red on" the motorman
jumps off the car and burns red on
for the signal at the other end of the
single track, probably a mile further
up the read. This prevents any other
car from coming in on the single track
from an opposite direction.
The first signal was tried at tho
pOwer-house switch, and the second al

IMPORTANCE OF BROKEN DISHES.
WITHOUT THEM A WHOLE DE
PARTMENT OF THE DELAWARE
IRON WORKS WAS STOPPED.

The flue mill at the Delaware Iron
Works has been shut down for two
days because of the scarcity OF a very
odd, but essential, material used in the
operation of the furnaces.
The material, the absence of which
caused the shutdown, is nothing more
nor less than broken dishes. the very
same cast-off crockery that can be
found on almost every vacant lot.
The scrap china and porcelain is alb
sOlutely necessary to go in the bottom
of furnaces, and by its use a white heat
can be maintained, and this Facilitates
the rapid turning and welding of the
large pipes and flues.

An Intelligent Pigeon.

A correspondent. whose reputation
for veracity is only exceeded by re.
markable vivid imagination, contrib
utes the following remarkable pigeon
story, which, however, is not accom-
panied by sworn affidavit: "A most
remarkable pigeon is owned by Miss
Belle Quinn, of Aston Mills, Delaware
county, Pa. Besides being n very
pretty bird it is also u very useful one,
and every morning after its breakfast
the obliging pet flies to the post office
and gets the mail for the Quinn house,
hold and, returning, delivers II as safe
ly rs any experienced letter-carrier.
Yesterday morning, however, the ac-
commodating bird found the task i'm
possible, as there was n large package
for it's mistress. which was much
heavier than the bird itself. A small
boy saw the bird struggling to lift the
parcel with its bill, and, ON seeing the
address, volunteered to take 1t to Miss
Quinn himself. II was with much re-
luctance that the persevering pigeon
abandoned the task, and in order to
see that the youngster would take the
package to the right place the sus-
picious bird lowered over him until he
reached the house. Miss Quinn prizes
her pet very highly, and has refused
many offers from fanciers, who are
anxious to obtain the useful and orna-
mental pigeon. "-Philadelphia Record.
