BARNARD TELLS
HARD LUCK TALE
Rolls Off Fast Moving Train
and Winds Up in City
Court

Bernard MeNamee, for hard luck. has
everything around these parts beaten to
a hnish. He was arraigned in City Court
this morning charged with having been
drunk He pleaded guilty to the charge
and vas hned 81 and costs by Judge
Cochran
But here is the hard luck story.
Bernard was having a ride by fast
freight Saturday night and at Edge Moor
he decided 10 get on The train was
wobhling along az the rate OF twenty
miles an hour or thereabouts Bernard
got on and rolled round on the ground,
rubbing a good deal Of the earth's sur
face IN the immediate vicinity into his
face His right eye was cut, his mouth
was cut. his right arm was twisted and
all his teeth we're Jared loose so that
YESTERDAY he could put his huger on any
one OF them and make It wabble all
around.
But that wasn't the worst of H. He
later drifted into the city and though
somewhat Jared after his hasty alsht
from the freight. he began az once 10
drown his sorrow in the usual way. and
was arrested for being drunk by Patrol
man Dutton.
So that was the reason Bernard was in
City Court this morning. He broke his
collar bone some weeks ago in a fall
and the fracture had Just begun TO knit
when he had 10 tumble OF the freight.
II that isn't hard luck, Bernard would
like TO know what Is.

NEED NOT PAY
THE HOLLY BILL
City Solicitor Townsend Tells
City Auditor Rice He Vas
Justified in Action
CITY MUST PAY
TWO OTHER BILLS

A letter TO City Auditor Rice from
City Solicitor Townsend was read at
the meeting Of the Water Commissions
ers this morning, upholding the city
auditors refusal TO approve a bill OF
the Holly Manufacturing Company.
The amount Of the bill originally was
Sl1,s65.S5. but the Holly Manufactur-
ing Company made an allowance OF
$4,000 for the Snow pump recently sold
by the city When the bill with the
deduction was sent 10 the city auditor
he held that the amount OF the deduc-
ton should be considered as revenue
of the department and under the law
belonged TO City Council. The Water
Department considered the $4,000
merely a deduction from the original
bin and not a part Of its revenue. A
similar letter was addressed to tho
Water Commissioners. but no actioV
was taken this morning owing to th(
absence Of Commissioner Ford.
Another letter 10 the city auditor
declared that the city auditors refusal
20 approve bills for s72o50 owed B. &
T. J. Dalton. and S323.14 10 the Charles
Warner Company for the erection Of
a fence about the Porter reservoi, was
not justified
The bills were charged TO the cur
rent fund and the city auditor thought
that they should have been charged TO
the special fund The city solicitor
holds that the work was not payable
out Of the special fund as il was not
original construction.

BIG BLAZE AT
COUNTY HOSPITAL
Valuable Horse Burned to
Death and Inmates Of Both
Institutions Frightened

Fire visited the New Castle County
HOSPITAL at Farnhurst Yesterday morn
inE and caused considerable excitemenr
for a time The blaze originated in
a shed opposite the gate 10 the grounds
and about 200 feet from the main build.'
ing. In the shed was a stable con-
tanning a horse valued at $500. and "a
carriage which cost $500. both the per-
sonal property Of Superintendent James
W. Foster. Of the hospital. Both horse
and carriage were consumed by the
flames In the other end Of the shed
was a blacksmith shop and this was
also destroyed. Mr.. Foster carried no
insurance and he is the heaviest loser.
The damage to the county property
will not reach more than $500
How the blaze started is a. mystery
and 10 one from the hospital had been
in the building. Mr.. Foster thinks
that outsiders set the place on FIRE. but
how. he could not say. or whether IL
was by accident or design.
The blaze was first seen by Stephen
Jones. colored. an aged inmate of the
hospital. who was on the fourth floor
Of the institution. Seeing smoke COM
ing from the shed roof. about $50
o'clock. he gave the alarm.
Superintendent Foster and the forco
Of employees about the hospital. and
a number Of inmates aided by Super
intendent Hancker. Of the State Hos
pital adjoining. and his force OF men,
went 10 ~eorS with a will. Water was
PLAYED on the fire in large quantities.
and at no time was either Of the hos
pitals in danger.
The blaze spread so RAPIDLY that IL
was impossible TO save Mr. Fosters
valuable horse and il was burned al-
most 70 "A crisp. The inmates Of both
Institutions. particularly the insane
asylum. were greatly excited for a.
time. because Of the blaze. Their fears
were quickly quieted, however.
