FLOATED WHEN TIDE
BEGAN TO RISE

Seven hundred persons homeward
bound from Philadelphia, spent an
hour and a half I'm the Christiana

Company's plant during the height Of
the storm last night, due to the high
wind blowing; the steamer Brandy

time, leaving a narrow channel there.
The passengers were in no danger,
and good order prevailed. In fact,
II was not known that the vessel had
struck until the crew went among the
passengers, assuring them that there
was no danger. The vessel left
Philadelphia at o'clock in command
Of Captain Blockson, one Of the most
capable river captains. Shortly after
leaving Philadelphia the beat went
into the storm, which continued all
the way TO Wilmington. After enter
ing the Christiana river the wind be-
came terrific. While making the
turn in the stream the gale caused the
boat to veer toward the mud fats at
the edge Of the channel.
IN the meantime the officials of the
company here, who expected the ves-
sci, communicated with Chester and
instructions were given to the other
vessels on the river to watch for the
Brandywine. About 1890 o'clock the
steamer City of Wilmington from
Philadelphia entered the river and
noticed the Brandywine on the mud
fats. She went alongside, and It
was decided to transfer the pas
sengers in order to tighten the vessel
so that it could float off easier.
The passengers were taken to Fourth
street wharf after a delay of two
hours. An investigation was made of
the vessels position and It was found
that It had sustained no damage. The
tide started to turn shortly before
midnight and at that hour the Brandy
wine was hoated and proceeded to
the wharf, where It was found that
the steering gear was disarranged.
This was repaired and the vessel re-
sumed its regular trips this morn
ing.
The Wilmington stuck in the mud

alongside the Brandywine, and the

ASSIGN THE
DREDGING BID
New York Concern Erred in
Proposal for Channel
Work

The American Construction Com
pany Of New York, after fruitless at
tempts to have the War Department
abrogate the bid for part of the
dredging in the Delaware river for
the S5-foot channel, on the grounds
that it contained clerical errors. has
assigned its part of the undertaking
to the American Dredging Company.
The American Construction Com
pany, which was the lowest bidder for
the dredging on the New Castle
ranges, asked to be permitted TO
withdraw its bid on the ground that
by mistake its figures in some cases
had been placed opposite the wrong
items, thereby reversing the bids as
originally intended.
All the bids were sent to the Board
or Engineers of the War Department,
and the awards were made to the
lowest bidders, the American Drodg-
ing having received the contract on
tne Tinicum ranges while that on the
New Castle ranges was given to the
construction Company. The hardest
work is that on the New Castle
ranges. As result, the American
Dredging Company will have practic-
ally the entire work TO complete. The
Construction Company bill 4-1O cents
per cubic yard lower than the Ameri-
can Dredging Company.

NO FAST ON
THE FEAST DAYS
POpe'S Order in "MOtu
PrOprlO" Is Explained.
HOly Days Same Here

The Rome correspondent of Amer
lea. the Catholic weekly conducted by
the priests of the Jesuit Order. has
written to that paper explaining the
exact meaning in the change of the
holy days of obligation announced by
Pope Plus in che announcement
known as "AIotu Proprio" under date
of july 2.
The Catholics have been uncertain
as to the real nature of the changes.
The correspondent states that the
Pope has reduced the general holy
days of obligation to eight-the feasts
of Christmas, December 25; the Cir
cumcision, January L; the Epiphany
January 6; the Ascension; the I'm
maculate Conception, December s.;
the Assumption. August Is; SITS.
Peter and Paul, June 80, and All
Saints, November 1.
The Pope has also removed these
days from the law of fast and abstin-
ence, IN case by coincidence in the
ordo they should fall under the
same. This decree does not provide
two new holy days for the United
States, as the order provides that
where any of the above days have al
ready been legitimately suppressed
as days of precept they are to remain
so.
For Rome" says this correspon-
dent, "and the greater part of the
world it removes the obligation from
the feasts of the Annunciation, Cor.
pus Christi St. John the Baptist and
the respective patrons of different
countries, dioceses and parishes
where such patrOnal feasts have been
holy days of obligation.
The celebration of the feast of St.
Joseph is set for the Sunday after
March 10. that of St. John the Baptist
for the Sunday before the feasts OF
SITS. Peter and Paul, and Corpus
Christi for the Sunday after Trim
ity Sunday, the feast of the Sacred
Heart, however, remaining as before
on the Friday within the octave of
Corpus Christi
"In the United States there is to
be no fasting or abstinence on any
of these holy days of obligation Thus
when the fast of the Immaculate Con-
ception falls on a Friday the obliga-
tiOn of fasting or abstinence does not
hold for that day"
