BR0DBRICK IS
GOOD ENGINEER;
Ignored Telegrams From Off,
CialS Until He Had Say
ed Railroad Track,

1t is not often that a railroad SUI
pervisor is too busy in the interests
OF his company to read kilograms
sent him from the officials but such
was the case with Mr.. Broderick. q
supervisor on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company during tho
heavy storm that few days ago
caused such serious washout on
the Maryland division of the Penn-
| sylvania railroad.
Mr.. Broderick understands his
business and by his skill saved the
b. and o. company from a washout
similar to that on the P, w. & B.
Railroad and preserved direct rail-
road connections between New
York and Washington.
At Leslie, the North East river
was making inroads on the com.
pany's track and the north bound
track soon was put out Of service.
For the distance of about a square
the track was inundated and travel
on it was discontinued. AEhis left
the south bound track for travel.
The wash out on the "Pennsy" made
it necessary for that company also
to use this line.
Mr. Broderick hurried to Leslie,
and saw that unless heroic meas W
ures were adopted, trains would
have to go around by Harrisburg to
get to Washington. After sizing
up the situation he telegraphed to
headquarters, Il will have track
safe in three hours"
Leading his men, he started in to
fight the water. Three carloads OF
granite blocks We're standing on

Mr. Broderick called for a shifting
engine and pushing the cars on to

CHEESE IN DEMAND.
FOREIGNERS ARE EATING
THEIR SHARE AND OURS.

There is a great demand for cheese
at present and prices have advance d
at least 30 per cent. above what they
were at this time year ago. Then
the Wholesale top of the market was
cents a pound, on tho finest full
cream makes, while now it is ~
cents, with prospects of going sti
higher
In speaking of the situation, one
of the dealers said:
1t is astonishing what an extensive
foreign demand there is for Ameri-
can cream cheese and particularly of
the September makes. There was q
time when English cheese was con-
sidered the only all-round cheese in
the world, but now our English
cousins are more anxious to use the
choicest American productions than
their own, and in consequence the
export trade is increasing rapidly,
and the supply is getting low.

OFFICER EDWARDS.

Olf'cer William ]. Davidson is rec

received in Philadelphia on Monday
night when a number of phladei.
phlans mistook bin for Officer James
Edwards who was in the raid at Au-
gustine Park on last Sunday and bru-
tally assaulted him.
Davidson was standing along the
curb watching the parade when two
men moved toward him and inquired
about the Wilmington club, and if he
was not from Wilmington. Scarcely
had Davidson replied in the at1irma-
tive than he was struck d singing
blow on the nose. Then blows and
Kicks came from all sides and before
the officer could defend himself the
gang made. good their escape.
Attorney General Ward may be
asked to take action looking to the
arrest Of the gamblers who wer. ar
leied and who were rescued from the

Shestnuts In Market.

The chestnuts are already getting
ripe, and there promises to be many
of them this season. They are sell
ing for fifteen cents Il quart at the
fruit stores, aud many of the child
ren are beginning to earn little
pocket money by peddling them
from house to house.
AS there have been no frosts yet,
the burrs have to be broken open,
which is very prickly process. A
frost or two will rattle them down
in great abundance. There are far
more chestnuts, this year, than
Walnuts.
