BUILDING OPERATIONS BOOMING
Permits for Several New Structures Is
Sued By The Building Inspector

From appearances the building boom
in Wilmington does not seem to be on
the decrease. as this morning Building
Inspector john j. Cassidy issued two
permits for the erection of buildings
of more than ordinary value.
To George S. Mckee, Jr., a permit
was granted for the construction of a
three-etory brick dwelling 30X49 feet
in North Franklin street between
Eleventh street and Pennsylvania
avenue. for May F. Miller. The build
ing will cost $500.
To Stephen c. Blackwell, contractor,
a permit was issued for the erection of
a three-stOry brick building 31XlOO
feet in Orange street above Tenth
street. to be used by the Colored Odd
Fellows as a hall The building Will
cost $4,000. The plans for the struc-
ture were submitted to the Building In
spector in August last, but did not
meet with his approval. and several al
terations were suggested which have
been complied with since.
In connection with the construction
of this building much complaint has
been made by persons living in the vi
cinity. owing to the blocking of the
sidewalks with trestles, iron girders
and timbers to such an extent that it is
almost impossible to walk on the pave
ment. The spot is made more danger.
Gus from the fact that it is not particu-
larly well lighted. Mr.. Cassidy will
notify the contractor to clear the side
walk this afternoon.

BIG FLYERS FOR
DELAWARE ROAD
First, Successfully Makes Its
Maiden Trip
WILL IMPROVE TUE SERVICE
Bv LeSseniDg Considerably the Time
Of Run Between This Civ
and Delmar

On the Delaware division Of the Penn
sylyania railroad the era of the fast flyer
was inaugurated yesterday. The big new
engine, No. 225, was taken on its initial
trip by Eugene Jamison, engineer and
proved a wonder, as locomotives 90. At
some intervals in the run it made a rec
ord of so miles an hour.
No. 225 is known as a Glass + engine,
and is the first of several similar ones
which will be placed in service ON the
Delaware division. 1t is four-wheel CON
nected. and has pressure of 175 pounds
To the square inch. The wheels are so
inches in diameter. The locomotive was
built in the Altoona shops, and the others
are in course of construction there.
The flyers are designed for service on
the main line of the Delaware division, OF
from Wilmington TO Delmar, and will
not be used on the branch roads. How
ever. as the main line extends to Har-
rington, those passengers bound to
Lewes. the terminal ON one branch, and
Franklin City, the terminal on the other
branch of the D., NJ x v, will have the
pleasure of riding more than half the dis
tance of their journey behind the Flyers.
The new locomotives will 90 into regu-
lar service about the first Of next month,
and No. 225 will take down the Norfolk
express This is in keeping with various
other improvements which have been
made to the Delaware railroad, and
which are calling forth expressions of ap-
probation from the patrons of the road.
The installation Of the new type of loco
motives will lessen considerably the
schedule between Delmar and Philadel-
phia and will improve the service in every
way. 1t is probable that the big engines
will necessitate the placing of heavier
rails. which will make travel smoother.
Engineer Jamison, who took No. 225 on
/ her maiden run, is enthusiastic in hii
praise of the big engine. He says tha
! she is beauty and answers as readily e
every touch as one which has been in the
service for years. lie is one Of the oldest
and best trusted engineers in the employ
of the Pennsylvania railroad

CARS In COLLISION
In MARKET STREET

Were It not for the eternal vigilance
OF the motormen of the different rail-
way lines. Wilmington doubtless would
have many a narrowing tale TO chron-
icle. The main portions Of the city are
a veritable network OF car tracks, and
that many losses OF limbs and even
of life are not sustained is due to the
care and caution exercised by the men
in the employ OF the rival companies.
Despite all these precautionary meas
ures, however, there was a cOme-to-
gether at Seventh and Market streets
this morning. Car No. IA, Of the Peo-
ple's line, was vending its way in Sew
enth street. and car No. 2S of the West
Eighth street line of the Wilmington
City Railway Company, was coming
down Market street. just how the two
cars got together appears inexp,icable
but THAT they did no one is prepared
to deny. Car No. IA stood the shocl
and came out of the crash without {

CUNNINGHAM is
NOW In JAIL
Committed By Magistrate
Hollis, Pending Hearing
HARD TO OBTAIN EVIDENCE
TulIV and Welsh Not Disposed to
Talk Concerning The Re-
cent RObberieS

The county authorities are experience
ling much difficulty in obtaining evil
dence against David alias Buck Cum
ningham, who is under arrest on a
charge of being implicated in numerous
robberies in and about Wilmington.
Cunningham was will-o'-the-
wisp" so far as the Wilmington police
We're concerned for several months, as
he appeared to be of the same species
of the "Irishman's flea" when the po-
lice thought they had their hands upon
him he was not there. He was first in
one place and then in another. but last
week fell into the clutches of the
Philadelphia "sleuths," and was
brought to this city by local officers to
answer for alleged crimes in this State.
1t was said that Buck" was con
nected with Tully, Ossler and Dillon in
stealing brass from the b. & o. rail-
road. and with Michael Welsh, in the
robbery of a freight car of the Phila-
delphia and Reading railroad, from
which LOO yards of silk were taken.
Both men were arrested, convicted and
sentenced to three months imprisOn-
ment and to receive ten lashes. Tu,ly
received the full extent of the sentence,
but Welsh escaped without the lashes.
The men declared that Cunningham
was the prime mover in the robberies,
and upon their statement the police be-
came eager to lay hands on Buck"
The situation has altered, however,
since Cunningham aTTest,and it seems
that it will be difficult to obtain evil
dence against the prisoner. Tully is
''sore" in more ways than one that the
lashes were remitted from Welsh s back
while he suffered under the cat-o'-nine-
tails. He is consequently indignant at
the authorities. and refuses to disclose
anything he may know as to Cunning
hams connection with the robberies
. Welsh appears to be satisfied with his
punishment and is equally reticent OF
the subject Upon the evidence OF
these two men the State depends large.
ly on cOnvicting Buck" and unless
they divulge something that is ma
terial. it will be difficult to convict

Castle Jail

Cunningham was arraigned befor,

ing a further hearing. although h,
may be arraigned at any time in the in

thorities of sufficient evidence is OBJ
