Two horses belonging to Harry
McNally were killed by a freight
train here yesterday morning. The
two horses we're at large and we're
grazing along the cut off tracks
when half a dozen freight trains
came up. The horses ran along
the tracks to the bridge that is
across the dyke. The engineer
was running slowly as he saw the
horses and did not want to hurt
them. When the horses reached
the end of the bridge they started
to 20 across and their legs went
down between the planking. The
engine struck the gray horse first
and cut the animal in, two, The
bay horse was struck next and was
dragged for considerable distance
before the train was stopped. The
owner of the horses is man who
makes his living by hauling and
his loss is a heavy one.
The New Castle Athletic Associa-
ton and the Y. NJ. c. A. of Chester
played an interesting game Of base
bali on Saturday afternoon. In the
seventh inning the score was 3 to 3,
with a man on third and another
on second whent the rain came down
so heavily that the umpire called
the game. The Christians are all
right and so are the New Castle
players. The clubs will meetagain.
Joseph Green and wife and an
other man from Pennsville came
across the Delaware in a sail boat
Yesterday morning. They left their

youths had purloined the property
and were sailing on the Delaware.
Green hired another skIff and
sta, ted in pursuit. He captured
them on the New Jersey side of:the
river near Firms Point jetty. He
told the youths that what they de-
served was term in Jail but that

He exchanged boats with them and
thew came back in the skitf he hired
to overtake them with.
The devotion Of the Forty Hours
opened in st. Peters Church yes
terday morning. Rev. Edward L.

the Holy Chest upon the apostles.

public audience. given by Jesus
Christ to this congregation. It is
our place then to pay a visit to
Him and by our humble prayers

GOODNESS and inidellty with which
the world is filled. We should not
allow this time to pass without Of
fering up a prayer OF thanks and
bv a good confession and worthy
holy communion merit for souls
the graces Of the Forty Hours de-
votion. At the vesper service the
sermon was preached by Rev.
Father Hugo. pastor of the Sacred
Heart Church, Wilmington. Dur
ing the offertory yesterday morn
ing Mrs. Robert Rogers sang the

pleasure of hearing her sing ex-
pressed hope that we may be
favored by her upon some other oc-
casion.
