WOMAN STAYS IN HOLE TO

Workmen Cannot Move Her, So

Will the Pennsylvania Hnllroad Com
pany place nn ugly old, post on her prop
erty? They will hot, It Mrs. B, Pelllcoff
has anything to say about It. That l
Why she Is established in a new post
hole, dug by tho employes of the com
pany, nnd she does not Intend to get out
until they havu depnrted. Wilt tho
policemen kindly make tho lady got out
of the hole, so that the men ' may go
on with their work? Certainly nott The
hole Is on her pioporty, nnd sho has a
right to stay there If she wants to, and
she does wunt to, so that's nit there Is
to It.
This la the situation which Is holding a
ciowd of spectators at Twelfth street nnd
Atlantic avenue, whcie tho Pennsylvania
Railroad Is electing poles necessary to
Lthe completion of n stteteh of electrified
inllro.nl. The company believes that It
owns tho Iniul upon vihleh Hie poles nre
to be elected, and Mrs. Pelllcoff believes
that her luiibnlid owns n particular piece
of land upon which the company has
designs.
Mrs Pelllcoff Is sitting ln the hole:
she hns had her lunch and says that
she Is looking forwaid to enjoying a
nice chicken supper tonight. Of course
It Is lather awkward, In having tho
food brought out to her, but then It
Isn't so bad when you consider what
would happen If she got out.
Hmployes of the lullroad say that
Mrs. Pelllcoff enn sit there, If sho fceln
that wny about It, until tho courts
have decided who owns the Intnl. -They
have tried every possible menns to dis
lodge her nnd ate now resigned to a
judicial settlement of tho affair.
