- cents per hole, and at the rate of
8 per day they could not make 81
for the days work.
Yesterday afternoon the new pole
at the Delaware street dock was
erected and the electric light wires
run to the poles. The light will
occupy position q feet IRON the
ground and car be seen for many
miles north and south of this city.

while on the river, in handling the
fish at the wharf and in taking nets
to and from the rack. The railroad
pier will also be well lighted by the
rays from the lamp. The fisher
