BOY TIED HANDKERCHIEF
AROUND MANGLED LEGS
John Schuyler Probably Saved
His Lie After Being Run
Over by Train

While returning from viewing the
wreck at West Yard this morning John
Schuyler an engine wiper at the Penn
sylvania Railroad round house, had
both feet cut off. He had started home
and boarded a p. & r. freight coming
towards the city. Finding the train
was going another route he jumped Off
at Lattimer crossing in West Yard, but
stumbled and fell beneath the wheels,
which passed over his legs just above
the ankles. manging them horribly. He
was removed to the Delaware Hospital
in the Phoenix ambulance. The lad
was eighteen years old and lived with
his parents at No. 215 East Second
street.
After being run over Schuyler
dragged himself to a bank beside the
track and after tearing his handker-
chief I'm half bound it around his legs
to prevent the loss of blood and un-
laced his shoes and took them off. This
act probably saved his life as the am
.bulance did not arrive for some time.

BISHOP MONAGHAN
STILL OUT OF CITY
Until He Returns Program
for Exercises in Churches
Will Not Be Known

The Rt. Rev. Bishop John J. Mona
CHAN is still out of the city but is ex-
pected TO return tonight. Until he ar
rives nothing definite can be said rela-
tive to the program that will be fol-
lowed out by the various Catholic
Churches in this State on the day of
the Pope's funeral.
Ii is said that the funeral of the dead
Pontiff viii take place tomorrow week.
No official notice TO this effect how
ever has been received from Rome.
On the day of the funeral solemn
requiem high mass will be said at the
Cathedral in Baltimore and ali the
bishops Of the province which includes
Wilmington, win attend. Cardinal
Gibbons is the head of the province
but as he is now in Italy to attend the
conclave Of the princes of the church,

The Rt. Rev. Bishop Curtis, formerly
of the Diocese of Wilmington. will
oiticiate at the mass and win be assist
ed by the various dignitaries present
Bishop Donahue of Wheeling, West
Virginia, will preach the sermon. He

incidents connected with Pope Leo's
life and the great good for mankind he
accomplished during his long and
eventful career.

Vile De Douai Reaches Port
Before the Storm After
Eventful Trip

With one blade of his propeller gone.
the French steamer Vile De Douai ar
rived IN this port on Thursday last, ar
ter crossing the Atlantic without any
serious trouble occurring as a result OF
the mishap. What might have been the
result, however. had the tanker's arri-
val been delayed several days. is am
other story. Had she put her nose into
the Delaware Bay during the storm OF
Saturday trouble would have probably
occurred. but she arrived safely at
her desi nation, Marcus Hook. without
accident
During the storm ON Saturday the
big boat dragged her anchor. and when
the tide went out was left on the mud
near the shore. She was foated after
considerable trouble and is now I'm deep
water.
In order to fix the vessels wheel it
will be necessary TO tip her.
This method of getting at the stern
of a boat is not unusual. but no doubt

The forward tanks of the steamer will
be filled with water until her nose
gradually sinks down and her stern
rises high enough TO get at the broken
propeller, when il win be removed and
the missing blade replaced.
The Vile De Douai is a large tanker
engaged in the oil carrying trade be-
tween Marcus Hook and European
ports. This is the first serious mishap
that has occurred to her.

WILL THEY ACCEPT A
PIANO FROM ADDICKS?
Woman's Club of St. Georges
Divided Regarding Gift
Bearing Glsman's Name

The managers Of the Woman's Club and
Excnange Of St. Georges, which viii open
its doors for the first time on Saturday
are in quandry.
The cause of the question Is a piano
bearing the name of J. Edward Addicks,
which mas been offered to the club. One
faction thinks It should be taken regard
less Of the name. but there Is another
made up of old Delaware families who
think the instrument bearing the name
of the man who has done so much to cor
rupt politics in the State should be re-
jected What the outcome win be is a
matter of conjecture.
Both factions are doing all On their
power to carry their point. The one IN
favor of the project wants music to add
to The attractions of the clubhouse situ-
ated on the canal. but the other claims
that music at such a cost can be dis
pensed with and that the club shall start
with a clean record.
The women of st. Georges have been
untiring I'm their efforts to make the club
a success and everything now points in
that direction, except the trouble over
the piano. Reading rooms have been
furnished and the club VIII be conducted
on the same lines as the Young Woman's $
Christian Association in this city.

pretty and touching story of the
Pope 1t was during his visit 20 Rome
several years ago and through, the
British embassy his party was invited
to one of the Popes receptions. 1t in
cluded an American woman, who was
not of the Catholic Church, but who
was most anxious to have the Pope
bless a rosary that she might send it
to a dear Catholic friend in the United
States.
When the Pope passed down the line
of people waiting to be blessed he laid
his hands upon the head of this wo-
man.
She drew back and said: Pardon
me- your Holiness, but I am not of
your church"
The Pope replied: "Then accept the
blessing Of an old man." and blessed
/ her.
Then - why the rosary?" he
asked her.
She explained why she had It and
he Pope instantly granted her wish
land now that rosary is one of the
dearest possessions Of its owner

HEAVY RAID ON STEEL
CAUSES A SLUMP

Although there was n heavy raid on
steel this morning the stock market is
much more quiet than 1t has been for
several days.
The local brokers attribute the uneasy
condition Of the market for the past sew
eral days 20 forced liquidation. One Of
the most prominent brokers in the city
in speaking Of the matter this morning
said that he thought the liquidation was
about run out and that the market would
now settle down.
The heavy selling Of steel was the fea-
ture Of the market today. The operators
turned their attention TO steel. which
sold much below the prices that have yet
been made. The steel common sold at 2Sll
and the preferred at Il SIS eX-dividend

been slaughtered during the past few
