PIGEON RACES A TRAIN.
starts Ont Regularly Every Morning
for n Fly Alongside the
Engine.

There Is q pigeon in Belgium which
regularly flies with the morning train
that goes from Licge to Waremme. 1t
began to accompany the train toward
the end of January, and 1t has done
SO every day since then, except on
three occasions, says London paper
The Meuse, one OF the leading news
papers In Belgium, vouches for this
fact, and gives other curious details
about the remarkable bird. The
train starts at three minutes to ten
q. M, and crowd gathers daily to
see the pigeon go with 1t. The bird
wheels around the station while the
passengers are taking their seats, and
as soon as the whistle is blown and
the Journey begins 1t takes up a po-
sition n little behind the engine, ano
there II flies surrounded by the moist,
though warm, steam, which IL evil
IDENTIFY enjoys. 1t retains this posi-
tion even while the train is passing
through tunnels. and apparently Is
not incommoded in the least by the
warm vapor. When the train reaches
its destination the bird flies swiftly
along the railroad track back to Liege,
where it arrives about half-past elev
en- o'clock.
This pigeon was born at the rail-
road station In Liege, ana consequent
~ is familia- with trains, smoke and
steam. Until few months ago 1t
occupied, with eleven others, a com
Portable cote, and when this was re-
moved from the station by order of
the authorities Il refused to abandon
its old home. though Its II com
panions at once sought for shelter
elsewhere. This fidelity was suitably
rewarded. The railroad officials gave
the bird carte blanche to search for
food wherever 1t pleased, and the pull
lie literally supplied it with corn and
other dainties. 4 singular fact Is that
on the three days when it failed TO ac'
company the train Belgian engine
was used instead of an English one,
and the assumption Is that the fuel
consumed by the latter gives forth
steam which the bird prefers to that
from a Belgian engine.

"Mamma, it is too hot to sleep in

Morris, aged 5 years, cried Justify about
3 o'clock yesterday morning at Ninth
and Spruce streets. His father, Milton
Morris, heard the chid's cries and
opened his bedroom door to see what
was wrong. He, was Mortified to find that

called his wife and ran down the front
stairs. Mrs. Morris grabbed the boy and
ran down the back stairs, followed by
James E. Monaghan, boarder. By this
time the police had sent in an alarm.
The screams of Mis-. Morris aroused the
neighbors and drew the district officers
Donahoe and McGillon to the scene. The

notions. The Delaware, Phoenix and
Washington Companies responded to
the alarm aud soon had the blaze under

Ashbridge Determined to Stand
by English and Permit Agi-
tatiOn to Run its Course.
NOT GIVE In TO WANAMAKER
Municipal League Did Not Follow up
the Affair With Any Further
Steps Against English
or Ashbridge Yes
terday.
Special to The Sun.

Philadelphia, May. l5.-Mayor Ash
bridge and Director English today main
tain steady silence in the face of tbs
avalanche of criticism that has beer
launched against them both as result
OF the charges made by John Wana
maker against the director. But there
is one thing that may now be accepted
as fact, and that is that the Mayor
will adhere strictly to his statement oi
Saturday last aid will not either suspend
the director of Public Safety or ask him
to resign. So far as that is concerned
the statements of both officials may be
regarded as hnality.
Friends of the administration, -
Councilmen and others who have been
subscribing to the municipal and politi-
cal policy Of the Mayor have recovered
somewhat from the shock that was given
them by Mr.. Wanamaker's disclosures,
and they are now, as it were, getting
their second wind. The resplt IS that
they are all impressed that they were
unnecessarily panicky, and that mas
much as the big municipal chefs are
immovaole under the camor Of the last
few days it is in order for the rest to put
on bold front.
Mayor Ashbridge had another talk
with Senator Martin today, but the latter
subsequently stated tnat the Wana-
maker English incident was not touched
upon, and that he had no information
whatever to furnish. A member of
Select Council, who also saw the Mayor
this morning and discussed the question
with him to some extent, said:
'You can set it down for fact that
Director English will not resign, and
- b., n,,ll ha -,
have had that assurance in the most
positive terms from the Mayor himself
The administration is determined to nail
it's flag to the mast and keep it flying
there. The enemies of the administra-
ton have apparently done their worst,
and the conditions as they exist do not
warrant the Mayor in surrendering an
inch of his ground. AS / understand it
the sentiment is that If Mr.. Wanamaker
feels that Director English has been
guilty of any criminal conduct he should
prosecute him in the courts and that
Director English is perfectly willing to
meet the issue in that way. But that, /
take it, would not answer the purposes
of the Wanamaker people as well as their
present plans"
Members of the Municipal League Ex-
ecutive Committee did not follow up
their meeting of yesterday by any addi-
tional steps today. William ID, Nelson, a
member OF the committee, stated that it
was not the purpose OF the League to
take the initiative, and that it would
rest content for the present with the
resolutions it had adopted. However, if
any other body of citizens or organiza-
tion contemplated mass meeting or any
other movement, the Leag lie would cor
aially cooperate.
