Eight Feet.

He Was Leaning Against the Railing
and II Gave Way Against His
Strength-.-Cut Slight
Wound in His Head.
A terrible plunge.

A terrible plunge
Henry Carer, fiddler, who said his
home is in Philadelphia, was taken tc
the police station shortly after midnight
ffering from wound on his head from
which blood ooZed freely. He was en-.
tirely sober
I Officer Gllen found him face to the
ground at the bottom OF the high steps
leading into Films barber shop in the
basement of the Robinson Building at
the Northeast corner of Fourth and
Market streets.
A railing runs across the front Of the
airy in which the steps leading to the
arb,r sh p are located. This railing
was erected as Il protection a,ainst ac-
cidents.
About l.45 last night Henry Carer
meandeed up Fourth street and sought
rest hanging over the railing. He rested
about ten minutes when forsooth the
railing gave way against his weight.
Carer plunged and landed on his head
at the foot Of the steps, seven or eight

the landing his head struck the interven-
ing steps. causing wound on his head.

officer thought Carer was dead.
When interrogated at the police sta
tion, Carer said he was hurt nowhere
but on the head. The officers in the

man had not broken his neck. Their
first impression was that he was a fit
subject for the hospital, but hi ha er
condition precluded lls transfer to an y

At THE ARENA
DAILY Gets Himself Disliked in Phils--
de lphia.--Midget Glynn Shows
up Well.

Special to THE Sun
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. At was
the universal opinion among the sports
ut the Arena tonight that if Jack DAILY
ever meets Kid Lavigne he is sure
loser unless he puts up a better bout
than he did with Jack O'Brien. ..
The latter is mere novice, lust grs-
duating from the amatuer ranks and vet
Daily could do nothing with him. For
three rounds the men did little or moth
ing spending the time in posing and
tiddling about the stage. In the fourth
DAILY began to lead at UBrien but find
ing he could not land on OBrien he
began roughing it and tripping the local
boxer threw him to the floor.
For this exhibition DAILY was roundly
hissed. In the fifth round DAILY spent
most Of his time choking and cIinching
OBrien: He again tripped O'Brien and
threw him down. In the sixth o. Brien,
finding that Daly was not SO dangerous,
went at the Wilmington boy and pun
ished him SO hard that DAILY did nothing
but clinch and hug the other Jack. For
a man of Daly's experience and reputa-
ton it was very poor exhibition, and
one that almost any farmers boy could
excel.
jerome Quigley, an od-time favorite,
gave his friends great run for their
money by stopping Tom Williams in two
rounds. He knocked Williams down
six or seven times in the second round,
putting him to sleep with a light handler
on the jaw. Williams is dangerous
man, his last bout here being with
Charley McKeever, whom he kept guess
ing.
Wilmington's other representative,
Midget Glynn, was on with Paddy Dona-
Won. The Midget put up good contest
but Donovan was too much for him and
1t the end of the contest Glynn was very
ipd and hugged and clinched to save
himself.

Seemingly Authentic Reports Of
Its Consummatien.
LEA AND SALISBURY VISIT.
Were There Yesterday and Ramor
Has II That They Went to
Transact Business in Con-
nectiOn With the Deal.
The railway deal again.

The railway deal again.
President Preston Lea and Vice Prcsi.
dent Willard Salisbury went to Phia-
delphia yesterday afternoon and rumor
has it tn It they were there to transact
business in connection with the reported
consolidation which will scoop mp the
Chester railway lines of Chester and the
Wilmington City lines and thus make a
trunk Fine between Philadelphia and
Wilmington under one management.
Neither Mr.. Salisbury nor Mr.. Lea
when seen last night would talk for
publication.
1t was learned however from pretty
reliable source that their mission in
Philadelphia was relative to the railway
deal and that what they did there will
be officially declared in a few days, in
the shape of an announcement of the
sale of the Wilmington City Railway
and the Gordon Heights road
The parties through whom the cOnsoli-
datons are S. W. Clark & Company,
bankers of Philadelphia, those named in
the first story in this paper about the
pending deal.
Financial men in Chester have for
sometime been aware of the negotiations
for the purchase of the Chester and Will
mington line by Il. W. Clarke Il Com
pany, but not unril yesterday were tfay
able to get any tangible information
about them. Chester papers yesterday
confirmed the report of deal in this paper
and said:
That papers were signed there yesterday
which forged the Chester link in the
consolidation of the road
While now in actual possession Of all
the lines named the purchasing syndi-
cate will not take control Of the manage
ment of the various lines right away.
The full and complete details OF the deal
will probably be officially announced
next week.
The latest phase OF the negotiations
makes the railroad deal a gigantic affair,
inasmuch as it is said it involves not
only the Chester and the Chester and
Philadelphia systems, and the Whining
ton City and Gordon Heights line, but
all the trolley lines in Delaware and
Chester counties, Pennsylvania, even
the Media line.

COLLECTING DOG TAX
They Say It's Nc Easy Task in

ARE DOGS GALORE
Conservative Estimates Place the Mum

The city officials Of VAUDEVILLE are
now giving their undivided attention TO
collecting the dog tax and they have,
in so doing. stirred up more trouble and
made more enemies h a a man who
practices on a coruet At midnight in a
lodging house. But It's the law and
the city council says the tax must be
collected. At the last meeting of the
| city council IL was discovered that the
municipality was very short Of funds
that there were a large number Of out-
standing debts Ions since due; that the
city hall needed painting badly and
that a number Of the officials held war
rants which the treasurer was unable
TO meet. 1t was therefore unanimously
decided that the dog tax must be col
lected and the city officials were so no
titled.
There are no less than 1000 dogs with
i'm the city limits and at 81 per head
this will greatly relieve the condition
Of the treasury. But the greatest hard
shin falls upon the city marshal ana
the city Judge. upon whom fails the
duty of collecting the tax. There are
$50 warrants out now for owners OF
