Will be Placed in Service
Tonight.
NEW SURFACE LAID,
APPROACHES IMPROVED

Brandywinc will be placed In commission

Announcement TO this effect WAS made
today by Chief Engineer Van Trump Of

dition for general traffic. The roadway
which WAS Of concrete, had become badly
worn. This has been rclaid and surfaced
with asphalt. New concrete sidewalks
have also bccn laid.
The approaches had also become worn,
but, through tho cooperation Of the
Board of Park Commissioners and the
Street and Sewer Department, these have
also been rebuilt and are now in good
shape. On the southern end of the bridge
a new approach has been constructed OF
Belgian block, laid in concrete, extending
up Van Buren, street hill nearly to the
homeopathic Hospital This work was
done by the Street and Sewer Department,
and it corresponds with the approach on

CONGESTION on Market street bridge, which
followed the closing of Washington bridge.
Up TO this time all traffic crossing the
river west of Eleventh street bridge had TO
use Market street. Van Buren, street is
more convenient than Market street for
the regular Washington street traffic. All
sorts of vehicles can Use Van Buren, bridge
except trucks, which il will not stand,
because there are two large water mains
in the bed Of the roadway which might be
damaged by heavy loads.
1t is expected that the old B. & O.
bridge will be ready for use by the middle
of September.
FOOT BRIDGE AT WEST STREET.
The Levy Court today referred to the
committee of the whole and County
Engineer Grubb communication from
the Board of Public Education, request
ing that q temporary foot bridge be erected
across the Brandywine at West street for
the convenience of school children
Commissioner Mccoy announced that
he would oppose the project. He declared
erection of the bridge would entail useless
expenditure of county funds. He thought
school children should not complain of
walking two squares out of their way, and
mentioned that he had to walk two miles
to school when he WAS q child.
The clerk of the board was told the
court would receive bids for the bridge
next Tuesday.
A delegation from the Central Labor
Union asked the court TO put in the bridge
specifications proviso that carpenters
employed on the structure shall be paid
wages equal to the award recently made
in behalf of Wilmington carpenters by
arbitrators. Action on the request YVES
deferred.

GEO. HASSON, NEGRO,
SHOT BY STRANGER
WITHOUT WARNING
Colored Outlaw Invaded the Home
Of His Victim Late at
Night.
THE CAUSE is UNKNOWN

George L. Hasson, colored, aged SO
years, living in a house at the rear of
l725 West Sixth street is in serious
condition at the Delaware Hospital as the
result of mysterious shooting at his home
late last night, by an unknown Negro.
Hasson retired about 1880 o'clock and
had been asleep about half an hour when
he was awakened by knock at his door.
He asked who was knocking and when he
received a response "A friend, he opened
the door and admitted the stranger
According to the story told by Hasson
today to the police, the man was not in
revolver and dlshot him through the neck /,
the bullet entering on the left side and
passing out on tho right side.
In his weakened condition Hasson spent
the night alone and il was not until this
morning that an occupant of the house at
l725 West Sixth, a man named Jones, re-
turning from work, heard someonen
knocking at the door of the small house in
the rear of his home. Investigation dis
closed the wounded man lying on the
floor. Jones summoned aid and the police
were notified. The patient WAS removed to
the Delaware Hospital in a police ambu-
lance.
Considerable mystery surrounds the
smoothing Hasson talked to the police and
said that he does not know why anyone
would want to shoot him, as he thought he
had no enemies and has had no quarrels
with anyone. He told the police that the
Negro who did the shooting was about
five feet, eight inches tall and had a
slender face.
Hasson is paralyzed from the waist
down. The arms and legs are useless.
Hasson told the police that after the
man shot him, he walked around the
room for few minutes and then walked
out. Nothing was stolen, and, as far as is
known, robbery was not the motive.
