MARKET STREETS AND FRAC-
TURED HIS SKULL.

TURED HIS SKULL.
Little did the big audience at the
Opera House Saturday night as they
laughed at the merry antics of the
comedians in My Friend from India"
think when the theatre was Thrown in
darkness by the breaking OF a fuse on
q feed wire at Eighth and Market
streets, that it would probably cost a
life.
AS the play was progressing tho
lights in one part Of the house went out
c. r. Van Trump, secretary Of the Will
nlingtOn Electric Light Co, was an at
tandant at the play, and he sent to the
power house of the company for q man
to repair the damage. Two apprentices
IIoffecler and Truax, went to the thea
tre, and, after an examination, they
discovered that the break was caused
| by the burning out of the fuse on the
telegraph pole at Eighth and Market
streets. Mr. Van Trumpupon learning
| this, sent for lineman VIM. Redmond,
to replace the fuse. Redmond Is an ex-
pert lineman and has been in the en-
| ploy of the company for about five
years. He ascended the pole, when he
was seen to slip. He reached out his
hands to save himself, but his body
shot through the air and landed heavily
on the cObble stones below.
The streets We're lined with people
and the sight of the mans body dash
ing through the air, was not an inspir-
ing one, and women screamed and scat
| tered in all directions. The tumult
| soon caused a large crowd to gather
and Redmond was carried into the drug
store Of II. X. Watson near by.
DR.. James II. Morgan was summoned
and upon his arrival he made an exam
| intion of Redmond's injuries. He was
hurt internally and his skull was frac.
| Wred. The ambulance was summoned
and the man taken to the Delaware
Hospital.
| The crowd surrounding the drul
store was all that the police could han
die. When the stretcher bearing th,
unfortunate man was being carried on
to the ambulance, the crowd pushel
and surged in its eagerness to see tn
victim.

FORD'S BIG PLANT SOLD
w. A. Stetson and Others
Buy the Monster Works.
NAMED A PRICE AND GOT IT

MR.. FORD AND OTHER LOCAL.
BUSINESS MEN PURCHASE THE
RIGHTS OF THE ECONOMIC IN
SURANCE COMPANY AND WILL.
ESTABLISH IT ON A FIRM BASIS.
Peter J. Ford, president of the Fort !.
Morocco Company at Silverbrook, Sat
urday sold his entire interest in the
immense plant to William A. Sterson,
q minority stakeholder, and others, OF
Boston. The sale and retirement of
Mr.. Ford occasioned no end of surprise,
as it was kept a secret until the doal
was c0nsummated.
About year ago when the Leather
Trust was buying in all of the pur-
chasable morocco factories, the mama
gers OF the trust determined to secure
the plant at Silverbrook, but the price
asked by Mr.. Ford, who held a large
majority of the stock, together with
Mrs. Mary Ford, widow of ex-Sherifi
Thomas Ford, exceeded what the trust
deemed the property to be worth, and
no agre 3ment was reached.
Mr. Stetson and several other capita
lists, upon learning that the head ol
the local concern had been dickerlng
with the trust, submitted a proposition
to purchase the factory but the price
offered was far below that which Mr.
Ford wanted, and no agreement was
reached until Saturday. President
Ford was notified on Wednesday thai
the syndicate, headed by Mr.. Ste'tson
had decided to accede to his terms
The deal was then closed, but tht
money was not paid over until Satur
! day morning, when Mr.. Stetson came
here from Boston. The latter returned
to Boston after the matter had beeI
Erranged, and it is not known unde
what name the plant will hereafter b.
| operated. Mr. Ford declined to Civ
any figures, but it is known that he re
ceived a liberal price tor his holding
and for the holdings OF Mrs. Mar.
