Indignant Bees, Loose on Philadelphia
Streets, Made Citizens Forget
Their Dignity.

A winged peril descended on shore.
ward bound crowds at the Market
street ferries, Philadelphia, recently
sending men, women and children
scurrying for safety. Some Of them
weren't quick enough, and as a con.
sequence, spent day nursing, on
various parts of the anatomy, stings
of peeved and indignant bees.
1t happened when box containing
hive of forty thousand bees fell
from an express wagon at the ferry.
The box, which was consigned to a
man in Swedesboro, N. j., broke as 1t
fell, and the hive rolled out. Peeved
at the indignities heaped upon them,
two thousand OF the bees swarmed
out.
The advance guard of the little
army of singers attacked a street
cleaner. With howl he dropped his
broom and took refuge In a saloon.
About the same time the other bees
got busy. The crowds scattered and
in short time the ferries were de-
serted, save for the buzzing swarm.
Frantic messages we're sent to the
company which shipped the bees and
a representative of the firm hurried
to the place. He nailed up the box
and sent it on its way, minus several
hundred honey gatherers.
