DENSE FOG ON THE RIVER.
MANY VESSELS STORMBOUND AT
THE DELAWARE BREAKWATER.
THOUGH THE RAIN AND FOO
CEASED LAST NIGHT, THE WIND
BLEW AT A RATE OF FIFTEEN
MILES AN HOUR.

A fog denser than that of several
weeks ago, hung over tho Delaware
river from early morning yesterday un-
til late in the afternoon. Navigation
was at a standstill as far as the lower
Delaware was concerned, and even the
ferry boats, which manage to go
through the thickest OF fogs at all
times, had to be carefully managed 80
that collisions would be averted.
All the way to Reedy Island, as well
as in the bay, not vessel stirred until
late in the afternoon. The fog was
particularly thick at Marcus Hook and
Reedy Island. The Allen Liner Assyr-
ian, from Glasgow, and few coasting
steam vessels, were able to reach har-
Dor late last night, after being In the
bay and river many hours. To make
things worse for navigation, heavy
rain fell during the time the fog was
thickest.
Life savers all along the coast were
on the alert for vessels that might
have been caught in the storm. Dan
ger signals had been hoisted at various
points on the coast from the Delaware
Breakwater to Boston, and vessels in
port warned not to venture to sea.
Many vessels are riding at anchor
at the Breakwater and in the bay 1t
was a most disagreeable day between
the rain, wind and fog, and vessels
that passed in and out could hardly be
distinguished. Last night the rain
ceased and the fog raised somewhat
but the wind was blowing at the rate
Of fifteen miles an hour. Only one
vessel was sighted passing up yester
J day, and that was at O'Clock in th'
morning She was a steamer In bal
last, flying the Norwegian flag, anC
| she may be the Ulkriken, which lei
New York yesterday for Philadelphi;
to load case oil for Greece.
| After a most tempestuous voyage
the Danish steamer Danmark, in bal
last, reached Breakwater yesterday
for orders, after being out twenty-on'
days from West HartlepOOl, England
She was tossed about the ocean in I
] terrific manner and was badly batterei
1 by huge seas, being strained consider
ably The fore peak bulkhead Is leak
ing below the forehold, as is the bot
ltom of the tank about an inch per hour
Besides this, many Tivets have prob
ably been started, and it is though
probable that the steamer will have t.
go into drydock for a thorough exami
nation and repairs.

rARTLING RUMoR NOT TRUE.

Wide circulation was given to a ru-
NOR to-day which was TO the effect that
Rev. w. Frederick Lewis. of Rodney
Street Presbyterian Church, was
stricken in his pulpit last night. It is
learned that the only foundation for
the story is that Mr.. Lewis and a num-
Der of friends were in the church and,
while they were conversing he became

It's not often that pedestrians are
treated to a man, single-handed, carry
ing of a gas plant, but such was the

lene plant, at No. 909h Market street.
The company is indebted to Haw-

KELLEY AND HIS COMMISSION.
ALLEGED THAT PRIVILEGES IN
APPOINTING CUSTOM HOUSE AT
TACHES NOT ALLOWED MAR
Shall SHORT.

OIlAlx Of1O1l.
The customary law OF allowing Gus
tOdians of government custom houses
to recommend appointment from the
lists to positions in the custom houses
has been violated, it seems. James J.
Kelley, formerly Of Wilmington, but
now Of Philadelphia, holds, he says, a
commission, direct from Washington,
appointing him elevator conductor at
the Federal building. He claims to
have entered a civil service examina-
tion, held here in March 1897, and the
commission reads that his average
qualities him for the position. Kelley
has been at the Federal building for
the past three days, desiring to be
sworn in, but Marshal Short AYERS that,
as it has always been the custom for
the custodian to name the attaches Of
the custom house, he cannot see his
way clear to swear Kelley in. Mar
shal Short further says that unless he
gets orders from Washington verifying
the appointment and to accept the
commission, he will make no move in
the matter.
All of the present attaches OF the
custom house, excepting Frank Mcn-
heny, were appointed by Collector of
Port Cooper and approved at Wash
ington, and Marshal Short thinks that
he should be SO treated Kelley is
married, and has family living at
Twenty-second and Lamotte SITS. There
had been no one recommended for the
place.

Sleep ensues when the brain is
largely denuded of blood, when GER
ebral anemia is established. To
partly empty the brain of its blood
supply, to keep the head cool, the
body sufficiently warm and to send
the blood rather to the lower ex-
tremities-this is the physical prob
lem of the sleepless. 1t is interest
ing to note that during sleep great
number of the bodily functions oon-
tinue quite normally without inter-
fering with sleep itself, and there
fore sleep is not SO like death as
some of the poets have imagined.
Man asleep is not so profoundly diff
ferent from man awake, the two
chief points of difference, however,
being these-a greater indrawing
of oxygen and exhalation of car
bopic acid and complete vasomo.

T,hero AR. Nips and Nips.

A gentleman who lived about 80
miles from London had been up to
town to theater and was going
home by the midnight train.
1t was bitterly cold night, and
the ticket inspector who stood by
the train kept on stamping his feet
to keep them warm.
"You look cold," said the gentle
man as he came up. Wont you
take nip of something9"
THANK you, sir" said the man
gratefully.
''Then take a nip Of this" hold
ing out the ticket, and the gentle
man got into the carriage chuckling
over his little joke.
But be wasn't so amused later on
when he found himself being swift
ly carried past his destination, the
inspector having put him into an
ordinary carriage instead of the slip
coach which stopped at his place.
He was landed 40 miles farther
ON, on raw morning, with no pos
sibility of catching train home for
many hours, and his language was
most uncomplimentary.
But that was some one else's joke.
