ferring Of the three degrees Of initia-
tion in one night. This occupied so
much time and was so interesting that

been prepared. was not attempted ow-
ing to the lateness of the hour After

rLoATEp. THEN cAPsIzEp.

The three-masted schooner William
T. Parker, of this city, which went
aground on Round Shoals at point Of
Cape Henlopen, was foated yesterday
She afterward capsized but was sub
sequently towed to a point outside the
Breakwater. The Parker, under
command of Captain Parker, bound
from Bogg's Inlet, n. c., with a cargo
of lumber for New York, went ashore
last Sunday night, and after vain
attempt had been made to float her, it
was thought she would prove a total
loss. Yesterday the North America
Wrecking Company's tug North Amer
ica, Captain Gibbons, began working
on the stranded vessel, and shortly
after 4 o'clock in the afternoon the
Parker was floated. The tug then took
her in tow for a safe anchorage place,
but half an hour later the schooner
capsized when between the Break
water and the east end Of the harbor
of refuge. In another half hour the
Parker still bottom up, was taken into
the Breakwater harbor by the Nortf
America.

TROUBLE AT THIRD STREET

ONE HOUR LOST ON ACCOUNT OF
THE EXPANSION OF THE RAILS
ON THE DRAW.
The heat expanding the railway
track on Third street bridge yesterday
afternoon caused a great deal Of Eou-
BILE and inconvenience. The draw was
just half on and half OF, which allowed
teams to cross, but prevented street
car travel
Traffic over the bridge was delayed
for about an hour, and this also caused
some trouble with the various boats
which wanted to pass either up or
down the river.
After several methods had been tried
a bucket Of water was secured, and put
upon the heated rails, which partly
contracted them, and allowed the draw
to turn and traffic to resume. The
matter will be rectIfed by sutting the
rails at both ends Of the bridge,

VERDICT FOR PLAINTIFFS.
MAGISTRATE KELLEY DECIDES
AGAINST RAILROAD COMPANY.

IN THE CASES OF SHERIDAN MA
SON AND GEORGE SHARP VS..
THE p. w. & B. RAILROAD COM
PANY. A VERDICT FOR FULL
AMOUNT WAS GIVEN THIS
MORNING ~ INTERESTING SUIT.
In Magistrate Kelley's court YER
diets for the plaintiff were given in
the case of Sheridan Mason and
George Sharp, vs. the p, w. & b. Rail-
road company.
The case is an interesting one, and
grew out of an action brought against
the plaintiffs in Magistrate Pritchett' s
court. Mason and Sharp are both em-
ployes of the railroad company, and
both OF them were sued before Magis-
trate Pritchett for the amounts of un-
paid grocery inc. odfwk dol orgforg
paid grocery bills. The claim against
Sheridan was $3I61; against sharp,
s201S Magistrate Pritchett laid at
tachments against the mems wages a,
the railroad company's works. and the
respective amounts were collected.
As the laws Of the state prohibit the
attachment OF wages excepting foI
board and lodging, Sheridan and Ma
son engaged counsel and took the case
before Magistrate Kelley, making the
p, w. & b. Railroad Company the de-
lfendant in the action.
The case was called. but was contin-
ned until to-day, VIXEN Magistrate Kel-
ley promptly gave judgment for the
full amount to the plaintiffs.
The defendant company was not
represented. Phillip L. Garrett repre-
lsented the plaintiffs.
