FISHING WITH A GUN.

Cunning for fish is a comparatively
nare pastime in this section OF country,
but out in the neighborhood OF Cooch's
Bridge il has been a diversion for
years. In the recorders office at the
Court House yesterday several of the
officials were talking over the manner
in which they had spent the holiday.
When it came the turn OF Deputy Re-
corder Harry W. Davis OF Pencader
hundred, to give in his experience, he
said:
Il went cunning for pike"
To hear a man speak OF going out
fishing with gun aroused the Way
farer's curiosity and he made minute
inquiry Of this combined disciple OF
Nimrod and Walton regarding the mat
ter.

him one OF the most striking features
Of the Fourth OF July at Brandywine
Springs Park was the small number of

others about him make the same obser-

There were probably $4,000 or 10000

He leaves the store and feels that he

scarcely recognizes It, There has been
a radical change in all Of its various

And SO the Summer passes. When

AND OTHER PRELIMINARIES
BEING LOOKED AFTER.
The proposition of constructing a
trolley line from Wilmington, Del. to
Kennett Square, and thence on to
Unionville, is assuming a business like
appearance, says the West Chester
Local News Representatives of the
company have been over a large por-
tion of the route in quest of rights of
way, and have met with very general
encouragement. No one seems disposed
to stand in the way of this public inn
provement, and the company makes
every assurance that the line will be
built
The people Of Unionville are ,gar-
ticularly enthusiastic over the pros
pect of being given railway facilities
and it is stated that all rights Of way
have been obtained from property
owners between that village and the
borough of Kennett Square. 1t seems
to be the general impression that the
line will not stop at Unionville. but
will move on towards West Chester
possibly making connection with the
proposed trolley line to Downingtowr
at point near COpe's bridge.

THROWN FROM A CAR.

On Saturday evening Mrs. Richard
Grier, OF No. 7O5 West Tenth street
was thrown violently from a Delaware
avenue car at Delaware avenue and
Madison street, receiving a shock from
which she has not yet recovered. AT
the time of the accident she was
alighting from the car, which the mo-
torman started before she got clear of
the step. Her old age made the fall
especially severe.
