NEARLY IMPALED ON POLE
Joseph Cross Had Narrow Escape
While Cunning.

Nearly being impaled upon the sharp
end of a pole stuck IN the mud was
the experience of Joseph Cross. the
we'll known gunner yesterday after
noon.
Together with some other men Mr..
Cross was pushing a boat with the aid
of a long pole over the Pigeon Point
marshes. Coming to a particularly
hard spot he bent his weight upon the
pole, which broke suddenly near the
water line. The power which he was
putting on the pole threw Cross over
board and i'm his fall he narrowly es-
capped landing upon the sharp end Of
the projecting poll, 1t passing between
his arm and body. AS it was he had
a ducking and scrambled around in the
soft mud and water for some time be-
fore getting into the boat again.

ATTACKED BY BEES
w. ]. Hogan Had no Chance to Fiaht
and Was Painfully stuns.

William ]. Hogan, a rigger, yesterday
afternoon was pulled to the top of a
derrick pole, ninety feet high. at the
Brandywine quarries. TO fix a cap on
the pole. When he got to the top a
swarm of bees that had made their
home beneath the cap flew at Hogan
and began to sting him.
He could make but little resistance
to their onslaught, as he feared he
might fall from his dangerous seat to
the ground and be killed. Before he
could be lowered by his assistants he
was stung in forty places and suffered
great pain.
