NEW PASSENGER HALLWAY ooMPANY-DE-
FEAT OF THE BILL REPEALING THE AT
TACRMEST LAW

TACHMEST Law.
DOVER, Feb. II. -Ex-Alderman Vincent
Is here and has just completed the draft of
charter for a new Passenger Rail"ay
Company for Wilmington, with VIM. ST.
yer, Jacob Derrickson, John O'Byrne,
Francis Vincent, Alexander Mcdonnell,
VIM. Whitley, Isaac Naylor and Thomas
Robinson as coTpOrators. The bill allows
the new company to run Its cars over
either of the railway tracks now laid on
Market street, provided due compensation
for that privilege is allowed the present
railway company, or the new company
may at It's option occupy the bed of either
King or French streets with its tracks and
and extend the same over Brandywint
bridge. After crossing this bridge 1t pro
ceeds up the Philadelphia Turnpike 10 a
point beyond the Rivervlew Cemetery
then By line to Edge Moor on the Della
ware.
The bill will soon be presented in the
= House and it is thought should 1t becomt
, law and the company, the name o
which is to be the Wilmington, Shelpo
e and Edge Moor Passenger Railway Com
pany, when its tracks are laid and tn
! road in running order, will develop beau
) tiful avenue along the Philadelphia Pike
In the House TO day bill was put upol
its final passage, allowing tue State Treas
urer and Trustee of the School Fluid SS5
additional compensation per annum. No
did 1t stop here; 1t was made retroactive
4 and the increase was allowed to date frou
!. January, 1871. This was a bold stroke
but despite the protestations of the gentle
4 men from New Castle county, the hi
= passed the House. This increase make
It the salary of that officer Sl450-qute
V snug sum. Hereafter the fight for Ii
v Office will doubtless be more bitter.

" fee bill, drawn by Wilmington Ju
IF tees Of the Peace. The fees fixed upo
,r in this bill are simply infamous. IIesve
knows thCy are now eXorDitant enougl
1t but if this stupendoue piece OF fraud an
Vt imposition should be enacted into la
in they will be doubled In many instanc,
and trebled time and again In numeroi

f. its defeat, for it bears upon its face frat
ID and declaration to further impose upC
