PARKERsBURG, w. Va, April. 26
Blair, OF the Little Kama
wha Railroad Company, stated to-day
that within the next few weeks he
would have several hundred men at
work on the extension of that road to
a connection with the West Virginia
Central Railroad and that no matter
whether the West Virginia Central
secured the Western Maryland or not
the road would be built through at
once to the seaboard. The grade
through Ohio is very light and over
the mountains of West Virginia it is
not much higher. 1t will make fine
roadbed, one over which trains can be
run at the highest rate of speed.

CIRCUS MONKEY
CUT A GlPBR
Left the Parade TO Tour The
Roofs and Alleys on
Seventh Street

While the Norris & Rowe circus pa
rade was going up Market street this
morning TO the accompaniment Of
numberless small boys and a brass
band. one Of the monkeys escaped from
the cage and ran up Seventh street,
where he climbed up onto root and
defed all attempts TO dislodge him.
The attenadnts tried to lure him
down from his lofty position with
daindes pleasing to the simian palate,
but his monl1eyship was not to be fool
ed. he had been a collector for an or
gan concern before seeking fame and
peanuts with the greatest show on
earth. and long association with shell
game men had taught him that you
can't trust a man who wants to give
you something for nothing.
But at length, seeing an opening, the
protege of Darwin. with true Napole-
onic strategy, left his place OF refuge
and began a tour of an alley, but in
seeking new worlds to conquer, he suf-
fered the fate of all great generals, and
was ANONYMOUSLY captured and sent
back to the cage where he rode dur
ing the rest OF the parade. the envy OF
his less crafty fellow monks.
There Will be performances today at

Mater Commission viii Not Purchase Lea
and Sons C0mpanI's HOLDINGS

AT the meeting of the Water Cmmis-
sion yesterday. the matter OF the city
acquiring interest in the Brandywine
stream. held by the William Lea and
Sons Company. was again discussed
The opinion reached Is that the city
will in time have to acquire the inter
est. but only after it's population shall
have been increased. At present about
one-half OF the city's interest in the
stream is being consumed, or about
one-fourth of the entire flow. As this
is quite sufficient for the present popu-
laton of Wilmington, the board will
make no endeayor at present to pur-
chase the Lea holdings.
J. L. Carpenter, Jr. made applica-
tion for q water pipe TO be laid in Nor

approved and allowed. The balance in

cations for water pipe for new houses
