BULL WRECKED AN ENGINE.
BUT IN DOING so SACRIFICED
HIS OWN LIFE.

DEFIANT BOVINE HURLED FROM
THE TRACK AND WILL NO LON
GER ANNOY THE RAILROAD
MEN.
West Chester, Aug. 4.-For some
time a large and vicious bull has been
annoying the railroad men at Whit
ford station, on the main line OF the
Pennsylvania railroad, and on We'd
nesday evening he became particularly
troublesome, driving all the track men
before him. He would station himself
in the middle of the track and charge
every man who appeared in sight.
Apparently elated with his success
in conquering the men, the bull took
it into his head on Wednesday even
ing to take a shy at a locomotive. Sta
tioning himself in the middle Of the
track, despite the efforts OF a number
OF railroad employees to drive him on
he defantly awaited the approach OF O
train. Finally a freight, running al
the rate of twenty-five miles an hour
hove in sight.
AS it drew near the engineer espieC
the obstruction and blew a long, loud
blast as a warning for his bullship tC
clear the track. The bull, however. ac
cepted the locomotives whistle as Z
challenge to mortal combat, and sen
back terrific bawl in answer. TheI
he squared himself for a tremendoul
leap and as the iron monster cami
rushing down on him he made the las
dash OF his life, and Il was a grand one
There was "a loud crash and the mex
instant the lifeless body Of the bul
was flying through the air, while tn
forepart OF the locomotive left tn
track. so badly crippled that anothe
had to replace it and requiring tn
wrecking crew TO set things straight.
When the fireman saw the crash wa
inevitable he leaped from the engine
while the engineer stuck to his post.

F1REMEN DISSATISFIED.
ACTION OF PHOENIX COMPANY
IN REGARD TO PARADING WITH
EQUIPMENTS CRITICISED.

AC1lON Of PhOENlA COMPAN1
IN REGARD TO PARADING WITH
EQUIPMENTS CRITICISED.
There appears to be a feeling of dis
satisfaction among local firemen over
the determination OF the Phoenix com
pany to turn out equipped at the time
of the fire and police parade during the
electrical convention in September.
In conversation on the subject a
prominent fireman said There is a
good deal of dissatisfaction among the
firemen in general over the stand the
Phoenix has taken in this matter, and
the universal opinion seems to be that
the company should not hold out
against the remaining eight fire COM
panies regarding thematterof parading
Equipped men,
"Of course, the Phoenix has a per-
feet right to do as it sees proper, and
no other company has the power to
dictate what it shall do, but as the re-
naming companies have concluded to
turn out their apparatus alone, it does
seem fair that this company should
be guided to some extent by the will
of the others.
1T costs a good deal of money tc
turn out men properly equipped for the
occasion, and many of the companies
cannot afford the expense. To have
eight organizations in line with appa-
ratus alone, and the ninth parade uni
formed men would not present har-
monious appearance. 1t is to be hoped
that the Phoenix will reconsider its de-
cision before the day of the parade ar
rives." r T yssg g

DELAWARE CITY SAFE
Fort Monroe Garrison to Be
Sent to Plum Island
INSTEAD OF TO BATTERY POINT
MILITARY AUTHORITIES AT
WASHINGTON HAVE YIELDED
TO THE PROTEST OF SURGEON
GENERAL WYMAN. AND THE

~ lAlE MI 10 4 VI oOAN0LO4N-
GENERAL WYMAN. AND THE
MEN WILL. SAIL TONIGHT.
Delaware City people are breathing
easier now, that the encouraging news
comes from Washington that the mill
tary authorities have yielded TO the
protest of Surgeon-General Wyman, Of
the Marine Hospital service, and have
decided to send the Fort Monroe gar
rison to Plum Island, on Long Island
Sound, instead of Battery Point, as was
Originally intended.
Plum Island is between New. Lon
don and Montauk Point, and was re-
Gently established as a military post.
Several modern guns with disappear
ing carriages have been set up there,
and barracks have been constructed
for the accommodation of the garrison.
The men from Fort Monroe can be
easily taken care OF at Plum Island,
and, should it develop that any OF
them have been infected, which is not
Unprecedented by the medical experts,
they could be more easily quarantined
at Plum Island than at Battery Point
The government has not yet been
bic to arrange for the transportation
of the men although the order fol
Their removal was issued last Monday

Virginia, as they would be carried
Through Phoebus and Hampton, the
former having developed cases OF the
fever and the latter being suspected
land under strict quarantine by the ad
ljacent towns. There is a railroad con
lnection at Cape Charles City, which
lies opposite Fort Monroe across tn,
the bay. by which the troops could b,
taken direct to New York, but steam
ship owners hesitate to offer a charter
to convey the troops to Cape Charles
for the reason their vessel would b.
subjected to quarantine regulations af
tier having carried them.
Another difficulty has arisen through
the action of the authorities Of Cap
Charles City, who have declares
against Fort Monroe. and insist tina
the troops cannot land at Cape Charlie
to take the train. It is thought, prob
liable, however. that the officials Nigh
be induced to raise the quarantine T.

proposition is to send the men by SCI

will probably sail tonight and reacl

TRUCKERS MAY YET WIN
Building Inspector In a Guam
dairy Over Question of Sheds.
THE DICTIONARY CONSULTED

CONTRACTOR PATRICK FAHEY
SAYS A SHED Is NOT A BUILD
ING, AND VICE vERsA-UNoFFI-
CIAL OPINION OF ASSISTANT
CITY SOLICITOR CAHOoN.
Building Inspector Cassidy is in a
Quandary over the matter OF ordering
the removal OF the frame buildings''
erected by New Jersey truckers to
avoid payment Of wharfage.
The building inspectors attention
wall called TO the fact that Jersey
truckers had erected frame buildings
on private property near Front and
Church streets wharf in violation OF a
city ordinance by Secretary Wiley, OF
the Street and Sewer Department.
Mr.. Cassidy at once looked into the
matter and found that the Jerseymen
had put up a shed on the Stevenson
property. near the wharf mentioned,
The structure was about fifty feet long
by sixteen feet wide, and was con-
structed OF posts supporting a roof
made OF pine boards. No attempt had
been made to close in the building,
and 1t was open on all sides.
Mr. Cassidy thought the matter over,
and had about come to a conclusion
what steps to take in the matter, when
Contractor Fahey dropped into the Of
fce OF the building Inspector this
morning and brought up a question
which has raised doubts in the mind
of Mr.. Cassidy as to his right to take
action in the matter.
Contractor Fahey held that inasmuch
as the shed had not been enclosed, II
could not be properly termed build.
ing. and unless It could be classed as
such weuld not come under Mr. Cas-
sidys jurisdiction, as the ordinance
states that 1T shall not be lawful tc
erect or construct any frame build
ngs." etc Contractor Fahey bases his
assertion that shed is not a build
ng from the definition OF the word as
given in the dictionary.
This assertion caused the building
Inspector TO pause in his contemplated
action Of ordering the truckers to re
move the structure. Assistant City So
licitor Cahoon chanced to be in Mr.
Cassidy's Office at the time Contractor
Fahey was creating dissension in Mr.
Cassidys mind, and was appealed {,
for an opinion.
Mr. Cahoon, however, refused to giv'
an opinion, but said: III had erecte,
such a structure and anyone ordere,
me TO take 1t down on the grounds
that was violating a city ordinance,
would kick them in TO the Christlana.
Just what dictionary Contracto
Fahey refers to to substantiate hl
claim that a shed is not n building Il
not known. Webster, in giving the def
milton Of a shed, says: "A light or TEN
porary structure built to shade or shell
ter something; a structure usual,
open in front; an outbuildlng."
The same authority defines build
ng as that which is built; fabri
OF edifice constructed as house
hurch. etc.
Building Inspector Cassidy will care
ully weigh the subject before proceed
ng. and the truckers may still occup
their present quarters without bein
molested
