Il is estimated that there was 800 bushels of
wheat and the loss is estimated nj 1900, the ma
chine being destroyed but the horsc and horse
power escaping injury. The fire was cal'sed by
friction resulting from Il crooked cog.

crease, and to-day Wilmington is inundated with

spending several hours in wandering along the
banks OF the beautiful stream, returning in time
for the half past boat. This trip pays, and il
our Philadelphia exchanges consult the interests
of their readers they will advise them to make il
instead OF wandering disconsolately and aimlessly
up and down our streets. Our visitors are well

advice and go to the handsome parts of il they
will have nothing but praises for 1t on their return
home. But the boats also bring us some visitors

with men who can sec leading them, hearty and
strong enough to support both, and daily fresh
instalment of organ grinders with their whcczen-

THE BALTIMORE CENTRAL ROAD u>phn

THE BALTIMORE CENTRAL ROAD uNDEK
EXECUTION.
The West Chester Republican says that the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Rail-
road Company recently brought suit against the
Baltimore Central Company on claim of sl22,-
1892 H. On Saturday week at - O'Clock judgment
was secured, and Sheriff Lewis Of Chester county
levied upon all the rolling stock of the company
then in Chester county. BY an agreement
between the counsel an inventory of said stock
was to be made out and Bond executed for its
safety. The claims against the company are very
heavy-thcy having failed to pay tho interest," on
their bonds.
The Republican goes on to express the opinion
that this is not simply movement on the
part Of the Philadelphia and Wilmington coinpa-
ny to get entire possession of the Baltimore
Central, but u step toward cutting from il, in
order that tho parties running the new route
from Baltimore to Philadelphia may use it.

The nnltimore Central Railroad Seizure.

The West Chester Republican of the 9th
rays: " We noticed last week that the rolling
stock Of the Baltimore Central Railroad had been
seized by the Sheriff Of this county, upon II judy
nlcnt secured by tho Wilmington and Baltimore
liaroad We have made some further inquiry
into the matter since oui last issue and learn
from sources which we regard us reliable, that
the Wilmington road holds something over SIX
hundred thousand dollars worth OF bonds issued
by the Baltimore Central Company. They like
wise hold about ve-sixths Of all the stock of said
company. The Wilmington Railroad Company,
il is said, have been endeayorng for some time
back to secure the bonds of the Central Company
held by individuals, but the prices asked were
higher than the receipts Of the road would war;
rant them in giving, and hence their determine
ton to force sale and allow each party to take
care of their own interest. This would be another
Illustration, we suppose OF the "big fish eating
up the little ones. The Baltimore Central, we
are informed, will contest the sale, and should
the lower courts decide against them, will carry
The same to the Supreme Court. We can sec no
other practical result In this, except delay and
additional costs. A SALE In our Judgment, is
inevitable, unless the Wilmington road succeeds
in securing oil the bonds OF the company, which
Is not likely"
