TWO HURT BY
FALLING IRON
William Collision Perhaps
Fatally Injured in Ship
Yard Accident
CRANE DROPS IRON
PINNING MEN DOWN

One man was perhaps fatally hurt
and another seriously injured in an
accident at the shipyards of the Har-
Ian and Hollingsworth Corporation
shortly before noon to-day. The
victims are William Collision, aged So
years, of No. 2O7 North Jackson street,
and Samuel Wardell, aged 20 years,
Of No. 80 Seventh avenue.
Both men were taken to the Della
ware Hospital in the Phoenix ambul-
anee where it was said that both
were seriously injured about the head
but the exact extent of their injuries
was not obtainable, as the physicians
were still working over them.
The men were employed in the ship
yard of the company and from what
can be learned a heavy sheet of ship
iron fell upon them and pinned them
to the ground. The men had gone
to the iron rack for the iron and 1t
was being hoisted by crane when
it fell.
Fellow employees ran to the assist
ance Of the men and it was found
that both had been badly hurt. The
Phoenix ambulance was huriedly sum-
moned and rushed the patients TO the
hospital.
Collision appears to be the more SER
iously injured. At o'clock this after
noon the hospital authorities reported
that he was unconscious and may be
suffering from a fracture at the base
Of the skull. Wardell. It was said,
also was seriously hurt, but that he
was conscious.

Insurgency secured its most noted
victim in the person of Congressman

Facilities for Only

Where Will the witnesses at the
September term of the Court OF Gen.

opening days Of court, is a question
that is concerning court officials these
days. In the present bobtailed court
room there are only 16S seats. Sheriff

day. As the jury trials begin on
Tuesday all witnesses will be in at

will be 200 persons at least who will
be unable to get seats in the court
room.
The court room has been inadequate
in its seating capacity for years.
Chairman Dennison, of the Public
Building Committee of the Levy
Court, suggested plans for the en-
largement OF the Court House but
they were not approved. County
Comptroller Chandler favors extend

better conditions.
There are 1O7 cases for trial by the

TO OPEN LARGE CAFE
AT CLAYTON HOUSE

An innovation that undoubtedly
will be appreciated by many VIII
mingtonians Will be made az the Clay
ton House tomorrow night, when the
large dining hall will be opened as a
cafe. For several weeks the patron
age of the cafe on the main floor Of
the Clayton House has grown and
the proprietors have decided to open
the large dining room as a cafe. 1t
will be decorated with palms and
ferns, Japanese tables will be INSTALL
ed with candelabra for each and an
orchestra will furnish popular music.
II will be run along the lines OF cafes
in New York, and OF course It will
depend entirely upon the patronage
whether OF not the large dining hall
will be continued as a cafe. Many
requests TO open the large room were
received by Kline, Harkins and Kline,
the proprietors, and now they are
going 70 see whether the experiment
is justified.

SETTLEMENT
FETE A SUCCESS
BIiliing Fund Materially In
creased by KifkWOOd
Park Festival

The Peoples Settlement have
reaped more financial success from
the Kirkwood Park fete, given the
last two nights, than from any one
entertainment they have ever given.
The amount OF money is not yet added
up, but the Settlement is much
pleased. The fete was given by the
Penn-a-day Society, of the Settlement,
William H. Snyder, president, assist
ed by the Women's Improvement
League, of which Mrs. Alfred Lynch
is president. The work was done
entirely by the Settlement members,
and they are to be congratulated upon
one Of the most successful carnivals
given this summer. William H.
Snyder, who has always been a hard
worker for Settlement success, was
especially thanked by the Settlement
for his untiring efforts for the carni-
val; he largely was responsible for
its prosperous outcome. Other work
ers in the Penny-a-day Society are
Miss Title Binder, Miss Anna Daw-
son, Miss Agnes Forkum, Misses Mary
and Lizzie Binder, Adolph Book,
George keenan,, Dennis Deneen, Mrs.
William II. Snyder and her two chill
dren were also valued helpers.
The grounds were crowded last
night, and looked even prettier than
the night before as many more il
Nominations had been added.
Two sections of the Boys Brigade
drilled last night under the direction
of Major j. Warner Reed, and their
martial bearing called forth many
admiring comments from the crowd OF
spectators.
The profits are to be devoted to the
building fund.
The Settlement officials wish to
thank the park guards and police who
patrolled the ground efficiently during
the fete.

New Naval Watchdog.

About a yea ago the British Adj
miralty began experimenting with
specially bred type of dog for watch
man use at it's land stations. The
tests have proved satisfactory and
supply of the dogs has now been or
dered from a we'll known English
breeder of bloodhounds. The new
animal is, apparently, a cross between
the retriever, Airedale and collie. It
has a wonderful scent and hearing the
slightest sound at ranges far beyond
that of the human ear, and it's nose
is almost as good as that of the blood
