The bake was fine and Garrett Man
ming. the Rhode Island clam baker,
who had charge of the bake was one
OF the most important personages on
the grounds.
Various things happened TO keep the
big takers away and when those in
charge of the bake realized that
clam bake and a political rally do not
mix they telegraphed one or two Of
the speakers engaged for the occasion
not to come AS result there was but
little spechmaking the only speakers
being A. S. GOldborough Of Baltimore,
and former Congressman l.. Irving
Handy. They spoke i'm the afternoon
from the stage in the open air theatre
and had a fair audience Had a stand
been erected near the steaming beds
OF the bake. however. there would have
been more TO listen TO the speakers.
Mr. Handy referred to the Demo-
cratic victory in New Jersey at tha
last cletcion when a big Republican
ma joriiy was swept aside by an
equally big Democratic vote. Mr.
Handy hoped for a like victory i'm

TRAIN GRINDS
MAN TO DEATH
A. J. Johnson, SienaIman Of
This City, Instantly Killed
at Chester
DIDN'T HEAR ENGINE
SWOOPING UPON THEM

A. j Johnson, of No. 1924 West
Second street, a signalman on the
Maryland division of the P, B. and
W. Railroad. was run down and in
stantly killed by train while work
ing at Chester this morning.
With another man from the signal
department Johnson was making some
adjustments to the signal system
along the tracks between Pennell and
Lloyd streets in Chester when a pas
senger train swooped down upon
them about 1890 o'clock
II was a northbound train from
Wilmington, and if any signal was
blown by the engine crew Johnson
nor his companion apparently did not
hear it. Persons who saw the acci-
dent say the train was running at
good speed and was practically on
top of the two signalmen who were
busy adjusting a bolt along the rails
before Johnson's companion saw the
locomotive.
Shouting a warning he jumped back,
but the warning words we're too late,
for Johnson was struck by the engine,
his body was horribly mangled and
he was tossed some distance. He was
killed instantly. Deputy Coroner
White at Chester took charge of the
remains and they will be sent to this
city for interment The train ran
some distance before it was stopped
Persons who saw the accident thought
the engine crew had not seen the sig
nalmen working along the rails.
JOhnsons head and right leg was
cut off by the train and he was other
wise badly mangled.
Johnson was about thirty years old
and is survived by a wife and four
young children. They were not notified
until early this afternoon of his death
and were prostrated by the sad news.

ROTATION PLAN
NOT CONSIDERED

City Council last evening failed to
act on the proposed bank rotation act
because Of the absence of President
Benson. The measure is opposed by
the Democratic members as they are
anxious TO have the Union National
bank retained as the city's deposit
tory. City Treasurer Lednum is op-
posed to some sections of the proposed
ordinance as it entails an almost i'm
possible amount of work on his office.
AS for the rotation system itself, Mr.
Lednum is not concerned.
Mr.. Lednum's report to Council last
evening showed the balance in bank to
be S470,91196. The receipts by the
city from all sources, during the
month of August amounted to $751;
13543, according to the report of the
City Treasurer. The total expendi-
lures for August amounted to $780,
