JURORS WHO ARE TARDY

ment for Offenders

Owing to the absence of a number Of
jurors in United States Court this
morning, Judge Bradford adjourned
Court until 100 o'clock this afternoon,
when the case Of Joseph A. DeLucca,
charged with being concerned in fraud
ulent naturalization. was called for
trial. The defendant was represented
by Attorneys ]. Harvey Whiteman and
j. Frank Bah. There are two indict-
ments remaining against DeLucca, and
both will be tried at this term of court.
Judge Bradford, in speaking of the
.failure ofth jurors TO be present at tho
time set fer the opening of court, said:
.When the court says 10 o'clock it
means 10 O'Clock, and jurors should be
present at that time, even if it is nee
essary to come here the night before.
Extra compensation and mileage is al
lowd fer this purpose, and hereafter
all jurors who failed to present them
selves at the appointed time will be
fined. The court will not take as an ex-
cuse that a juror could not get here
on account of the train service.
Some of the jurors seemed to think
that the time fer opening court today
was set for II o'clock. but upon refer
ring to the records Clerk Of Court Me
hairy found the hour 10 O'Clock.

WORKMEN FIND OLD
SWEDES WATER WAY
While Excavating, Relic OF
Hardy, Settlers Was Dis
covered

While making excavations at Eighth
street for the piers Of the Pennsylvania
elevated railroad this morning the work
men struck indications Of a waterway
which Is supposed to be that built by the
swedes as early as about 1899.
Fort Christana was built as soon as the
settlers arrived here in 1898 and the water
way which connected the fort with the
Brandywine was built soon after. Whether
this waterway was constructed to run
grist mills or for domestic purposes is not
known, but impression is that the water
in the Braneywine being purer than that
of the Chrstiana, was brought into the
fort for the use of the housewives.
Many things go to prove that this was
the stream which furnished the water to
those in the fort. The wooden piles. the
clear, fine sand clesnly washed and
smooth pebbles are orner indications. As
this is on direct line between the site on
which the fort stood and the Brandywine
there seems TO be no doubt but that it IS
part Of the relics of the hardy SETTLERS of
Wilmington, that are so fast disappear
ing.

TO OCCUPY TEMPORARY
PASSENGER STATION
Pennsylvania Railroad Will
Build Depot Across Tracks
From Present Station

Work on the temporary passenger
station of the Pennsylvania railroad
will begin on the first of July. and a.
soon as it Is completed the offices, wait
ing rooms andticket offices will he
abandoned at the French street station.
The latter two will be removed across
the tracks from the present structure
on The site now occupied by the oil
house and accommodation fer the engi-
neers offices, telegraph offices. and
Superintendent Barnard and his stan
will be found in some building neaI
Front and French streets. Just whore
they win locate during the tearing
down of the old and the building OF
the new station has not been deter
mined, but agents are making arrange
ments for their removal.
Work on the new oil house at Todd's
Cut is being rushed so that the present
structure MAY be torn down and the
temporary station built.
This, of course, settles all argument
regarding the location of the passenger
depot that has been a source Of much
cnjecture here for several months. AS
soon as the offices are moved from the
old station the work of demolishing il
will begin, and the new depot will be
built upon the same site.

DARBY TROLLEY AND
REPAIR WAGON COLLIDE
Car Burned to Trucks, One
Man Injured and Horse
Badly Scorched

Darby ear No. 81. Of the Whining
ton and Philadelphia traction line on
its way to Chester last night collided
with the repair wagon of the Whining
ton City Railway Company at Shellpot
bridge shortly after O'clock and as a
result the vehicle was demolished. the
car burned TO the trucks, one man in
jured and horse badly bruised. The
accident created a panic among the
forty passengers in the car. but with
the exception OF a severe shaking up
none were injured.
The repair wagon had been dis
patched TO the Shellpot bridge to re-
pair a feed wire and while the repair
crew was engaged in this work the car
crashed into the vehicle, throwing II
from the tracks. An oil headlight on
the front of the trolley was broken by
the force OF collision and i'm a short
time the car became a mass of flames,
which spread to the repair wagon. Be
fore the horses could be unhitched one
OF them was badly burned and later
removed to the animal hospital OF Vet
erinary Surgeon Mehany
Conductor J. o. Mccullough did good
work in preventing the passengers
from becoming panic stricken, and in
this way the many women passengers
on the car were saved from being in
jured. Motorman Raymond Trump was
severely burned about the hands and
face.
The smoldering car was brought to
this city and placed in the car barn at
Front and Union streets. The Union
Fire Company played a stream on the
burned frame before it was placed in
the shed.
| Both Mccullough and Trump are
residents of Chester. The latter is un-

A number OF prominent people.among

ed TO City Council tonight. It urges the
immediate amendment or repeal of the
ordinance requiring dogs to be muz-

The grounds are: First-Because il

safety or protection of the citizens OF

tablished that, as canine malady. hy-
drophobia, is not confined to any par
ticular season of the year.
Because it inhicts needless suffer-
ing upon faithful and intelligent MEM
bers Of the brute creation, and visits
them with a form of punishment which
cannot be understood or appreciated.
Because, in effect. it imposes an ad-
ditional tax or burden upon those per-
sons who own, harbor or possess a
dog, without yielding them any benefit
in return.

Society for the Prevention of Cruelty Z,
