WORK ON ELEVATED ROAD
will Not Start Station Until Next Spring.
Other Operations Continue

Work on the new passenger station
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany in this city will not begin until
next spring, according to present
plans. The company will proceed with
other improvements. and leave this
until the last. BY that time the ele-
waited road will be completed, and work
on the depot win begin.
AS the building viii be large ana
costly one. it viii require considerable
time for its construction, and many
think It will not be completed before
two or three years. The present oper-
ations are confined TO the western
side of French street and little will
be done on the east side until the re-
pair shops and roundhouse are built
at Todds Cut At the latter point the
work of grading is still in progress.
The majority of the buildings along
Water street, between King and Tat
nall. have been destroyed and the rub
bish cleared away, to give the exca-
vators full sway. Yesterday the first
stone of the retaining wall was laid il
position. White sand stone is used
and is brought from quarries In New
Jersey. This stone is much easier tC
work than granite. Masons were pu
to work this morning.

These enemies of the Pennsylvania

INTERESTING SUIT IN BOSTON
Former Lieutenant Of J. Edward ldditks
Figures in a Libel Case

What promises to be a notable case
has begun in the Superior Court Of
Boston. 1t is of interest TO Delawar-
cans because the defendant is. or at
one time was a lieutenant of J. Edward
Addicks, and the secretary OF the Bay
State Gas Company. The suit is that
of ex-Representative Frank p. Ben
nett of Saugus against John f. Dono-
hue. of Lynn, and the publishers of the
Lynn Daily Item. for $4,000 damages
on charges of libel. and it grows out
Of the speakership contest in 1S99-l90O,
and indirectly out of the gas cOntro-
versies before the Legislature for the
past few years.
II seems that Mr.. Bennett
was at one time a candidate for the
speakership of the House. and at that
time Mr. DonOhue published an article
rejecting on him that was held TO be
libelOus. The case promises TO be in
volved, and in it the Bay State Gas

HIGH WAGES RETARD BUILDING
Contractors Fear Boom May Be Halted on
This Account

Contractors in Wilmington fear That
the present agitation for higher wages
will prevent the erection of numerous
houses. They think that the expense
of building will be so great that it
will be impossible to sell houses for a
figure high enough to pay the in
creased expenses and leave a profit AT
present the painters are demanding an
increase in pay, which has been grant
ed by some of the employers. Car
penters also have decided to ask for
an eight-hour day, and this would
mean another increase in wages.
1t is estimated that under the new
system, a house which a year age
would cost 81 400 would now cost ST.
700 It is doubtful if those who desire
to purchase would pay the additional
price, and for this reason few houses
will be built. AS there are several
large structures which have to be
erected, because it would moi
pay the owners to waii
for a drop in wages, The men expect
an increase, and expect TO be busy
whether the building boom in dwell
ings strikes this city or not.

MANY SNOWBOUND
FOR -FOUR DAYS
Passenger Train Stalled in
Midst Of Blizzard
ONE Man ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
Passengers We're Hungry and Had TO
Wrap Themselves in Blankets
to Keep From Freezing
ONE Man ATTEMPTED SUICIDE

St. Paul April 3.-Passengers who
arrived yesterday on a Great North
ern train, due last Friday. tell of being
snowbound for four days and five
nights on the prairies of North Da
kota in the midst Of the worst blizzard
the northwest has seen in many years
with only food enough for two scanty
meals a day, and with such an amount
Of fuel that the ladies had 10 wrap
themselves in blankets and the men
to wear their overcoats day and night
to keep from freezing. The train was
completely lost to the world. Late
Thursday afternoon 1t picked its pre-
carious way out of Williston IN the
hope OF being able to reach Minot,
some IA miles TO the east, before
night. Almost midway, at a little stop
ping place called Ray where there are
only sidings, a water tank and coal
shed, the train was stalled. The en-
gineer thought he could run the engine
back to Willistown and get aid. The
lone engine was stuck in a drift I'm a
cut a short distance out of the town
and had to be abandoned. This left
the train of eight coaches and about
25O passengers alone on the siding
with all communication cut of.
Then began the long siege. during
which the cold had to be borne and
hunger stihed. There was much suf
fering There was an incipient riot
on the first day. The second-class
passengers insisted that they must
have as much or more food as the 9th
/ ers, and as they were in large mum
bers and had ravenous appetites. 4
was difficult to confine them to thei
quota. Many were not willing, as th'
first-class passengers insisted, tha
the women and children should be fel
and taken care of first but after som
argument they were prevailed upo
to subside.
Monday evening Professor Cole
grove, of the University of Washing
ton. who had been despondent am
morose, attempted suicide by cuttnl
his throat with a razor. There was
physician on the train, but he had M
facilities for performing the necessar.
operation, and It was absolutely neces
sary to get into communication will
one of the neighboring towns. In thei
desperation the passengers broke opel
everything in the trains chest, and il
the conductors box found a telegraph
instrument A young man, an electri
clan. faced the blizzard and tappe
one of the wires and attached the in
strumont. He notified the operator
at both Minot and Williston OF wha
had occurred. From each place
snow plow was started in front of a
I engine, bearing a surgeon. The on
! from Minot, after a hard nights worl
} reached the siding early the follow
ing morning, and the wounded ma
! was removed on the first train to 81
Paul. where he was cared for at tn
city hospital The almost famishe
= passengers. who had suffered from th
cold and exposure, were given foo
