VESSELS CRASHED TOGETHER.
The Gunboat Dolphin and the Ferryboa
New York In Collision.


New York, Aug. IA collision be-
tween the ferryboat New York of the
Williamsburg Line and the United
States gunboat Dolphin occurred this
morning.
The bow of the gunboat cut through
the mems cabin Of the ferryboat TO
the beamway, and into the engine
room. The New York's main shaft
was broken, and considerable ma
chinery was damaged. All the wood
work ON the forward port side was
carried away. The gunboat's bow was
bent, and several feet of the rail was
torn away.
The accident occurred when the New
York was on the trip to this city. She
had reached tho centre of the river,
when the Dolphin, which was coming
up stream, signalled that she would
cross her bows. The New York's
engines were stopped, but the strong
current carried her directly in the path
of the Dolphin, and the gunhoat's bow
struck the ferryboat Just ahead of the
paddle-box.
There were not many passengers on
board the New York when the accident
occurred. The ferryboat. with the aid
of tugs, managed to reach the slip at
Broadway, Williamsburg. The gunboat
stood by for time. but finally pro-
ceeded up the river. Secretary of the
Navy Long was aboard the Dolphin.
That the injuries to the Dolphin were
trifiing is evidenced by the fact that
she continued on her way up the river.

Wheatley's campmeetings were largely
attended Sunday. People who went by
IA certain road to Sand Hill witnessed
i'm unusual sight. Potato bugs COM
pletely covered the road to a depth of
from one to two inches for nearly a
quarter of mile. A 20-acre potato
patch near the road had been covered
with bugs, and. when the farmer
sprinkled the vines with poison, Satur
day evening, the bugs began to move to
more congenial chimes. The majority
of the bugs were crossing the road
Sunday morning as people went to

were walking to camp went by another

Unable to Get Possession of n Number OF
CANNES Winch he Knows We're Bitten by

Unable to Get Possession OF a Number OF
CANNES Winch he Knows Were Bitten by
Dog supposed to be Mad.
Dog Catcher Kopp is exceedingly I'M
easy about five or six dogs which he
thinks should be killed, but is unable
to get possession of them because their
owners refuse to surrender them. Last
Friday and Saturday dog which was
supposed to be suffering with rabies
ran about wild in the eastern part of
the city, and besides biting two boys
planted its teeth in about dozen
dogs The mad dog WAS captured on
Saturday by the dog catcher, who had
it put to death. Mr.. kopp also took
several of the dogs which had been
bitten to the pound and had them
killed, but he knows Of at least half a
dozen others which we're bitten by the
supposed mad dog and is anxious to
get hold of them and kill them also,
as he feels that as long as they are
alive they are a menace to the conf
munity, but they are considered valu-
able by the owners, who refuse to sur
render them, and there the matter
stands.
One of tho dogs bitten by the sup
posed mad dog bit a child some time
ago and the child's mother is in a
frame of mind that is anything but
comfortable, fearing the dog thar was
bitten will go mad and not knowing
what the result will be SO far as her
son is concerned. The dog catcher is
acquainted with this condition of
affairs and has presented the matter 10
the owner of the dog, but all to no pur-
pose.
The dog catcher has captured q large
number of unregistered dogs around
the city and as n result people who
value their CANNES are more careful
about having them registered. The
receipts from this source during last
month amounted to 5000. 70, while for
the same period last year the amount
was $50. 10.

for killing rats. In trying to capture
the two rats, the dog did not succeed

from the dog and ran across the street
toward the Wilmington Institute Build
ing. People in the building fright
ened it back. however, and notwith-
standing the dog was after it it began
to retrace its steps, 1t dashed across
the street with tho dog after it, and the
motorman Of southbouud Darby car
seeing that he would kill the dog if he
did not stop the car, put on the brakes
and brought the car TO % standstill.
This was the rats golden oppor-
tunity. 1t ran quickly up into the
machinery Of the car and escaped from
the dog. 1t found a safe place among
the small wheels and remained there
until the car reached point near Sew
enth street, where it ran out and into
a cellar on the east side of the street.
Many people saw the antics of the
dog and rats and for time there was
much excitement.

New Castle, July 81. Another move
ment is under way to have market
house established in this city. A
charter incorporating the New Castle
Market House Co. was secured from
the General Assembly in 1893, but
nothing has been done toward it in
the way of active work. That "a market
house in this city would be a paying
investment IL not disputed.

said: 1.-THE article in the New Castle
News in relation to new market house
for this city IL admirable. am heartily
in favor Of such movement and am
ready to take good amount of stock.
1t would be paying investment The
merchants of the city are anxious to
see building erected and market
established equal to those of olden
days, when from 20 to 30 persons stood
in the shadow of the old Town Hall
on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The
members of City Council are willing
to aid the matter by enacting the re-
quired ordinances. Huckstering on the

the water temperature has been re-

bathing there, as Objectionable

HON. ]. E. WOOD.
He Changed His Tactics-Instead of
Talking About Himself
Goes Fer Davis.

Hon. ], E. Wood spoke at the
state house in Little Rock Satur-
day night.
From the report of the speech as
published in the Gazette, we can
say that he made it hot for Davis.
We append some of the telling
points in the speech that the vo-
ters may know how the campaign
is beng carried on by Wood and
Davis. 81
Mr.. Wood led off in his speech by
remarking that it was warm
night, but not near so hot as he
had made it for Davis at Morrill,
ton.
In speaking of his war record he
said: 81 was in the confederate
army, Davis was not. JEFF q avis of
Arkansas compared to JEFF 1avis of
the southern confederacy Twas as
dunghill to a diamond, bud to
marble, savage cat to 4 royal
Bengal tiger, whining cum to the
big mastiff. AS we'll make these
comparisons as to compare the shy
ter attorney general of Arkansas
to the father of the Confederacy.
Davis struted around in his suit of
gray, reminding the speaker of the
jackass parading in the lions skin.
Taking up Davis again, Wood
said: DAVIS said that the supreme
court was the da-st aggregation
that ever got together. The state
met that the court allowed any ap,
plause by insurance agents when
the trust decision was rendered is
lie. Put that down gentleman of
the press.
Davis had made a great hurrah
over the new state house bill, saying
it was a $3,OOO,OOO steal Who's
going to steal this money! He tells
the one suspender men that it will
bankrupt the state.
The speaker excoriated Davis at
every point, and says he is in the
race to stay and will meet all can
didates and discuss the questions
of the day.
General (O Davis was not present
and has served notice on Mr.. Wood
that he would not traipse the state
with him in a debate. !.

Bad Bridges.

Two as broken down affairs called
bridges, we have never inspected
are those we looked at on 18th
street yesterday. Both the wagon
bridges and that one on which the
street cars cross, are badly out of
repair. The street car bridge was
so badly crippled on the night of
the show by the heavy loaded cars,
that it was made impossible, and
yesterday the cars went no further
than 18th sreet.
The props under the Bobo bridge
have fallen from under the end sup
port of the bridge and the weight
of the structure is resting on the
crumbling earth. How it is that no
one has been hurt crossing these
rickety bridges is mystery to us.
There should be committee to
inspect bridges of the city, and
when one becomes dangerously bad,
as those on 18th street, they should
be tagged dangerous. We ask May
or Hardin to take his chairman on
streets and alleys, also his city en-
gineer and any other member of
his board of aldermen, and go and
take a peep under those two
bridges on 18th street and see what
rotten timber is in their make up.
We are told that there are other
bridges fully as rotten as these
where street cars and wag-
ons go over daily. We should not
allow the lives of our people endan-
gered in this way,
