NEW PARK DRIVE
bling IMPROVED
Road Will Present a Pretty
Appearance When II Is
Finished

Work has been pushed on the
north park drive, and from the
end of Washington street bridge to the
creek road the speedway has been
graded. This improvement is highly
gratifying to persons owning teams,
for they are enabled to drive on the
north side Of the Brandywine without
going over a portion of road which was
so rough as to make it almost i'm
passable.
When the work of macadamizine
and sodding the road at the north end
Of the bridge space has been com
pleted, the park will present a very
pretty appearance in that vicinity
Persons are hoping for the erection
Of a Summer house before the end OF
the present season Park Commission
ers have planned one for the spot neal
tho bridge, but It is not known just
when the construction will begin.
The park drive south Of the Brandy
wine from Van Buren, to Tanall
street is roped of just now, owing to
improvements being made.
Park commissioners are to make the
park drive an enjoyable spot, and arc
untiring in their efforts in this direc-
tiOn.

COLLISION ON
PENNSYLVANIA
Freight and Work Trains
Crashed Together
ENGINEER REPORTED KILLED
Wreck Train With Fifty Men Vas
Sent to The Scene From This
Civ

Two trains. a south-bound fast
freight and a wreck train, were in col
lision on the p. w. & b. railroad at
Darby. this morning. According to in
formation on the subject received by
Frank Carlisle. trainmaster at the P,
w. & B. station, it appears that the
work train was on track No. 2, about
fifty yards this side of Darby station,
the engine being in the rear of the
cars, pushing them ahead. About this
time a north abound freight came rush
ing along and dashed into the rear of
the engine attached to the work train.
The latter locomotive was thrown COM
piete.y from the tracks and damaged
beyond repair, and one of the crew
badly injured The work cars escaped
injury. The engine of the freight
train was but slightly damaged
As soon as word of the accident was
received here Mr. Carlisle ordered the
wrecking train to the scene Of The acci-
dent. A crew Of fifty men and the der
rick car were at once dispatched, leav-
ing Wilmington about 1890 O'Clock.
Mr. Carlisle has but a meagre ac-
count of the wreck. and the direct
cause of the accident is yet unknown,
and will be until an investigation is
made. 1t may have been that either no
signals or improper signals were dis
played by the work train crew, or that
if the proper signals were shown the
engineer of the freight failed to see
them.
Although the wreck occurred on the
main time. there was no material delay
in the traffic of either north or south
bound passenger or freight trains. AT
the point where the smash-up occurred
there are four tracks. one of which is
used by the work train, the second for
freight traffic, and Nos. and 4 for pas
senger trains.
Early reports of the accident received
in this city said that the engineer OF
the work train had been killed. and
though the fireman was severely in
iured he had saved his life by jump
ing. Mr.. Carlisle could not confirm
the report, as he had no official knowl-
edge of the accident.

TO PROHIBIT CARD PLAYING
Passengers on Local Roads Interested
in Recent Order Issued

Considerable stir has been created
among patrons Of the various railroads
by the report that the Central Railroad
Of New Jersey had issued an order pro-
hibiting the playing Of cards on all
local passenger trains Of that road.
The general belief seemed TO be that
other lines would follow the example
of the Central and issue similar or
deTs.
Inquiries at the passenger depart
ments Of both the Pennsylvania and
Reading railroads however, ELECTED
the information that these companies
have never had any serious trouble
with the question of card playing cn
any Of their trains, and that instead OF
throwing obstacles in the way of those
desiring to play cards while travelling
the roads have no objections to the
passengers thus enjoying themselves.
Gambling is prohibited by the rules
and regulations of both roads. Officials
at both stations said that playing cards
on local passenger trains was not oil
frequent occurrence. except on some oil
the trains to the seashore resorts.

about l o'clock this afternoon, and
the young man, in halting voice, ask

That the couple wanted to be made

contention was that a license was not
a necessary prerequisite TO marriage in
Delaware.
On receiving the information that
one was necessary, the young man con-
fessted that the loss was on the other
fellow and the happy man presented ci.
gars to the office force. The cou-
