FIRE DESTROYS POWERHoUsE
AT BRANDYWlNE SPRINGS
Skating Rink at Park Also Falls
Victim to Flames

WILMINGTON Del, Sept. 13.-Fire
early this morning destroyed the skating
rink owned by w. W. McCool, at Brandy
wine Springs Park, and the auxiliary
powerhouse of the Peoples Railway Com
pany. a number of houses in the suburb
known as the Cedars, were threatened. A
call was sent to Wilmington. and several
Wilmington fire companies responded, but
the rink and powerhouse were gone when
they arrived.
The skating rink has been out of service
for some time and the powerhouse was
kept as an emergency plant. The cur
rent for the amusement park in the sum-
mer season is furnished by an electric
company in Wilmington, but the other
plant which was formerly used was kept
to be put into service in case of an
emergency. The loss on the skating rink
is estimated at $1,000. The loss on the
power plant will run close to 500, 900.
The skating rink building was a por-
ton of the water exhibit booths which
formerly stood in the court of City Hall,
in Philadelphia.

pier at the Neck which nobody uses
any more except to fish from. He
was a weather-beaten gentleman
with an experienced eye, and he was
shabbily dressed. What called my at
tention to him was the fact that he
was lying on pile of bags of some
thing and looking out to sea. | ask
ed him if he was watching for the
new big liner. The shabby gentle
man said he wasn't interested in lin

poor old rusty, ratty tramps. 1 like
to watch 'em go sneaking out with

handkerchiefs at 'em, and without

where they're going to and whatu
happen to 'em before they come back
again -
''He said:
Think O. the ports they're bound
for! Rio, like as not, or Buenos

Buenos Ayres right, too.) Or maybe
round the Horn, or maybe round the

CLEAN in his young eye.

little .giggle of delight.

to be very much annoyed. he flourish

empty dish; then, carefully lifting the
napkin, much TO the surprise OF all,
tho dish was revealed fun OF nuts and
raisins.
This IL how Tom managed the trick.
He hnd got Bridget to sew two nap

between the napkins made bag, into
