RESCUED YOUNG
DROWNING GIRL
Fell Into the BrandyWine. But
Was Saved by Edward
O'COnneIl

The police report a thrilling rescue
from drowning at Kirkwood Park to-
day. though the victim was badly in
jured and had to be removed to the
Delaware Hospital for treatment. The
victim was Annie Dugan, aged II years.
of No. 81 Kennebec street and her
rescuer gave the name of Edward
OConnell, but where he lives could
not be learned.
The girl accidentally fell into the
Brandywine river and in falling struck
her arm against some sharp object cut
ting a deep cash several inches long
which required seven stitches to close
up The water arNind where the girl
fell was dyed crimson by her blood.
Her screams attracted O'Connell and
he plunged into the stream without
removing any of his clothing.
The rescuer quickly grasped the
drowning girl and in a short time had
her in the bank and she was resuscitat-
ed with little difficulty, and aside from
the bad cut on her arm she was none
the worse for her bath.
The Phoenix ambulance removed the
girl to the Delaware Hospital, and
after her injury was dressed she was
taken to her home.

MUD BLOWER
CAUSES ALARM
RiVermen Fear That Bar Will
be Formed by Operation
Of Machine
DEEPENING OF THE CHANNEL

River men plying in the christiana
river are somewhat alarmed at the ap-
pearance at the mouth of the Chrstiana
of a big mud-blowing machine which is
engaged in the work of deepening the Del
aware river from Philadelphia to the
capes.
The machine which is known as Blower
No. 2" was sent here several days ago
by the Maryland Dredging Company,
which has a contract with government for
deepening the stream. Blower No. 2's part
in the work is 20 suck up mud, which is
to be brought up by scows from points in
the river below New Castle where dredges
are now working The mud is to be de-
posted within the mouth of the Christi
ana and then sucked up and squirtcd. by
means of a pipe Line upon the Lobdell
marsh on the south side Of the Christana.
Fear Forming Of Mud Bar.
It is claimed by rivermen that such pro-
ceedings will naturally cause a mud bar
TO form at the point where the mud is
dumped 1t is held that the channel is
none too deep at present at that point and
that It is natural to suppose that All the
mud so deposited cannot be sucked up.
As a consequence Of this It is believed
that the channel will become shoal. and
thus interfere with water traffic. In adj
dition to this sluices are being cut in the
Lobdell marsh banks TO allow the water,
which is squirted on the marsh together
with the mud to drain off. It is claimed
that by means of these drains much mud
will be washed back into the stream.

entirely consumed the large barn on the
farm Of Robert d. Morrow. near the

the opinion that the skull and bones found
in the barn ruins were those Of a calf
