ATTACKED BY
ANGRY BEES.

Laurel, Del, Aug. 4.-Edward HoI
kins, the bellringer Of Colfax Chapel
| Is lying unconscious from internal in
juries and his head swelled beyond all
semblance OF recognition from the
stings Of myriads of honey bees. Be.
ing past 90 years old, his recovery is
considered impossible.
Hopkins is one of the best known
citizens Of the lower part Of the PEN
insula and has for many years served
Colfax Chapel in the capacity Of bell
ringer. For several weeks past the
chapel bell has responded to his pull
upon the rope by only mutfled note,
and this morning the sound OF the
bell was so subdued that Hopkins
climbed the ladder to see the cause.
When he climbed through the beliry
trap at the top Of thirty.foot ladder
he found himself in the midst of an
angry swarm of bees that had taken
up their abode in the lofty tower
Blinded by their furious attack,
Hopkins attempted a hasty retreat
and in doing so lost his hold on the
tlimsy ladder and fell to the floor be-
low, where he was found in an uncon-
scious condition.
The village was soon in an uproar
OF excitement, the bees were driven
out by sulphur fumes and it was-found
that the whole ceiling of the belfry
was lined with honeycombs and a
large quantity of honey was secured.

tion!" is voluntary expression often
heard among the we'll satisfied excur-
sionists who happily step from the big
steamer Republic every evening at Pier
3, foot OF Chestnut street, Philadel-
phia.
The great variety OF pleasant, health
full entertainment aboard the Republic,
the extraordinary stretch of picturesque
scenery viewed along the shores Of river
and bay, the delightful experience Of a
short run to sea, the few hours Of merry
seashore freedom at Cape May, and then
the restful, breezy, refreshing run of
over one hundred miles back to "Home,
Sweet Home' all of these varied fea-
lures Of summer day excursion on the
steamer Republic combine to create the
very agreeable impression that you have
been away enjoying yourself for week
at least, and that you feel strong, yigor-
GUS, and cheerful in consequence.
There Is no river trip or one day rail-
road excursion that can round out day
so happy as this matchless run of the
well governed steamer Republic, and
there is unquestionably none Of the I'm
that can offer the variety of entertain
ment, amusement and. physical benefits
which are always accompaniments OF q
day on the Republic. The Republic
leaves Pier 8, foot of Chestnut street,
every morning at 7.30, the fare for the
round trip being 81.

BUSINESS BETWEEN
BIG AND LITTLE PORT
Large Trade Already Built up by
the Boats.

Since the inauguration of the new
steamship line between this city and
Lewcs, Del, by the Philadelphia X
Lcwcs Transportation Company about
two months ago the business between
the big port and the little one has grown
to such an extent that the company is
about to increase its facilities. The
steamer Gen. J. A. Dumont, which now
makes four-rOund trips Il week. has not
only been carrying good cargocs of
freight both ways. nut the passenger
business has been far beyond the ex-
peCtations of the management. General
Manager II. Il. Nandon stated Saturday
that the line was preparing for Il
specially large business within the COM
ing few weeks In fruit, green vegetables
and garden truck.
In order to care for this business
auxiliary lines will be established to
connect with the steamers at Icwes.
giving the company additional business
from the extreme southern and south.
eastern section Of Delaware. A new
line running as far south as Ocean View
Del, will be installed on Monday. The
connection between Ocean View and
Levcs will be made by an AUTOMOBILES
omnibus running from LcwrS to the
Douglass House Pier, below Rclloboth,
and from that point by boat, oh the
Indian River Inlet to Ocean View.
As Il feeder to the Philadelphia 4
LcwcS line the steamer MusSaprQun
will begin making daily trips on Broad
kill creek on Monday from Milton to
Lnwrs, stopping at Drawhrilgc. III,
MaSsapeuun is Il vessel specially adapted
for traffic on Rroalkill creek. She Is
65 feet long, has 20 foot beam, and

Workmen Nav Go Out.

pittSburg. Aug. Aust what scope
the expected general strike of employees
of the United States Steel Corporation
may assume is difficult to estimate, but
as closely as the matter can be figured
tonight in- the absence OF anything like
official statements from the Amalganut-
cd people, the probability is that the
number of men likely to he involved will
be ut least 100000, md the number may
exceed this figure should there be SYN
pathetic strikes.
The Steel Corporation in its mills
ore, mines, transportation lines and blast
furnaces employs Il total of 100000 men,
or this number 100000 are employed at
the mills and blast furnaces. or the
men employed in the mills over 1000
it is estimated. are members of the Anal
gamatcd Association, although, this fig
urc may be too high. On the other hand,
about $4,000 noll-union men are employed
in trust mills. The situation may be
tabulutct as follows
Men now on strike in seventeen Amc.i.
can Sheet Steel Company mills, $1,000.
In non-union sheet works, 5000 men are

American Tin Plate company's mills,
