Tho Manufacture of Pig Iron.

PROGRESS OF THE NEGOTIATIONS FOR THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF BLAST FURNACE
IN WILMINGTON - THE PROSPECT EN-
COURAaING.
We stated in recent number of EVERY
EVENING that some Pennsylvanln iron
manufacturers expected shortly 10 visit
our city with q view to consulting with
some OF our citizens on the subject of
establishing a blast furnace here for the
manufacture Of pig iron. A few days ago
manufacturer who owns several furnaces
in Pennsylvania came here, and In com.
pany with number OF our citizens looked
over the southwestern part of the city,
and expressed himself much pleased with
several OF the sites suggested for furnace
He thought one great advantage of the
location was the easy disposition that
could he made of the Stag or refuse of the
furnace, In filling up the surrounding
marshes. As TO expense Of iron manu-
fatture here, compared with sites nearer
the mlnes, he thought the decision would
depend somewhat on the disposition of the
Wilmington q Reading, and to some ex-
tent of the Wilmington & Western Rail
road TO make specially favorable rates for
Bringing ore to the furnace.
Tie was 30 much pleased with the pros
pect, however, that he verbally offered to
build furnace here, furnishing the plans
aud drawings, doing the work and putil Z
1t In blast, and TO take one fourth of the
payment for the same in stock Of a COM
pany organized to run IL. This offer we
understand he will shortly make In writing
to several of our citizens.
We also learn that inquiries looking in
the same direction but proceeding from an
entirely different and highly responsible
source, have been made within the past
few days.
There is no doubt that If theefiortsrar
celves proper enc6hfag mefit dH4 Atssist-
auce from our business men, a furnace
can be speedily established In oifr city,
and likewise have no doubt that If one is
establisbed.it will prove the foreruhner of
many others

The Narrow Guage Project.
GROUND BROKEN IN MARYLAND.

The Oxford Press In the course of az
article about the proposed Narrow Guage
Railroad project noticed some time ago In

on visit to Maryland, thus writes us an.
nounclng that the work Of grading had

Northeast of Baltimore, at a point called
stanberry's Gap and about one mile from
Towsontown. This Gap occurs in what
Is called tho--Rldge, and affords an open.
ing into Delauey's valley. From this
roint 10 Baltimore, they will have three
routes. 1t has not yet been fully deter
mined which one they will take. The
most Eastern one was surveyed by Col.
Jol nson one year ago for the Baltimore
and Ohio Road, aud commenced at Locust
Point, In the city Of Baltimore. The mid.
die route is what is called the Herring Run
route. On this line the damages would
be very heavy.
The other route is directly through Tow.
sontown, the county seat of Baltimore
county, and follows what Is called Beatty'a
powder mill stream 10 Ponchard, on swan
Lake, and there connects with the North.
erD Central Railroad. This Is on a direct
line from Yardeyvllle, Bucks county, via
Wet Chester, TO the Really House on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and will
shorten the route between Washington
and New York number of miles. The
Company are determined to have an indie
pendent route to Baltimore, and for this
purpose are In negotiation with the Hon.
Judge Gilmore, president ofthe Baltimore
and Swan Lake Railroad Company" for
their franchises. This would give them a
good route TO-, and favorable location In

A RAILROAD TROUBLE ADJUSTED.
The West Chester Daily Neus says
There has existed for some time tronbl,
between the Delaware City q Pomeroy
Railroad Co. and the Baltimore Contra
Railroad Co., as to allowing the first namet
road the right of crossing the latter a
Avondale, Superintendent Wood positively
refusing to accede TO the arrangement
The affair has been instrumental in bring
ing about considerable bad feeling, but WI
learn to-day that Mr.. Sanderberger, super.

adjusted, SO that the road now enjoys On
unimpeded right of passage from one end

Some Smyrna gentlemen have 1t for exam-

of the petitioner. The resolution provided
for the reference of Mr.. Lelain's applica-
ton TO the Judge Of the Superior Court.

Col. Febiger's motion to grant review.

amounting TO 1911 81, was allowed.
