"Bang!" went thunder clap.
Having reached her peroration,
Miss Kneen had warmed so impress
sively to her subject that she stood
with uplifted hand and the words
nothing to blast" upon her lips,
when the crucial test of her nerve
occurred.
Like comet in clear sky, ball
of fire shot through an open window
and for second seemed to poise
upon MISS Kneen's finger tips, while
the audience sat spellbound with hor-
ror. Several pupils on the tier of
seats directly behind Miss Kneen
tainted,
Peope could not grasp the situa-
ton. All they thought was that a
young girl had been struck by light
ning and might die before their eyes.
Women gazed on the sight, terror
stricken beyond the power of action.
The coolest, calmest person in the
house vas Miss Kneen. Still stand
ing with uplifted arm, she watched
tine bail of fire roll away from her,
ard '4fte7 pursuing a serpentine
course, disappear at the other end of
the stage.
LAS l was saying" continued Miss
Kneen-but no one heard her. Physi-
clans and others were hurrying to
the assistance of those who had
tainted. No one was seriously hurt,
and the displacement of few bricks
of the building was the only damage
wrought by the electrical fluid.
When, a moment later, Miss Kneen
concluded her address and took her
seat, the audience had recovered it's
composure sufficiently to vent it's adj
miration for the brave young girl in
an outburst of applause which was
continued for several minutes.
Miss Kneen is a pretty brunette of
medium height, II years old Many
believe that but for her GOODNESS in
the trying situation there would have
been panic in the hall.

Seventh street bridge is to be sold
by the sheriff to satisfy judgment
Of the Edge Moor Bridge Company
for s9,70O. This Judgment is not
against New Castle county but
against Patrick Fahey, who built
NE bridge. Owing to disputes be-
tween Mr. Fahey and the Levy
Court the county has never accep-
ted the structure. The history of
Seventh street bridge is somewhat
aengthy, but it may be summarized.
Although the Delaware Construc-
tion Company claimed to be the low
er bidder for a structure across the
Brandywine, the then bridge COM
mittee of the Levy Court awarded
the contract to Patrick Fahey for
e25, 900. The specifications called
Tor 42-foot bridge, but Mr.. Fahey
has said that it was never intended
to Greet structure 50 wide; and as
a matter of fact, ~ feet is much
wider than any of the drawbridges
hereabout.
Such alterations We're made that
the bridge was cut down to 50 feet
and then to "a feet, when, actorl-
ing to Mr.. Fahey, the Edge Moor
people said that it would be better
TO put the weight proposed for a
30-foot bridge into 2l-foot bridge.
And 24-foot bridge is what Mr..
Fahey built In the varied career
through which the plans went, their
final execution showed no APP
proaches, whereas such had been
originally provided for, according
to the claim of the court. But Mr.,
Fahey asked extra money for the
approaches, which did not come in
the best Of taste after the reduction
in the width of the structure. Per
haps if Mr. Fahey had contented
himself with the contract price, he
might have got his money from the
Levy Court As it was, he had re-
ceived 81, 900 before the present
Levy Court began It's investigation
of the subject. That investigation
disclosed evidences Of careless
methods on the part of the Levy
Courtmen when the contract WAS
being awarded and when change,
were made. From a legal point Of
view there was a question whether
a contract really existed.
Should the Levy Court buy the
bridge at the sherff's sale for the
$1,000, which represents the Edge
Moor Compauy'o claim. it will Sc
cure possession at 81, zoe more than
the original price, aud about S., e00
less than Fahey's total claim.
Let us hope New Castle county
will never have parallel case.
