PROPOSED REFORMATION OF THE NEW JERSEY
SOUTHERN AND rrs ooNNEoTIoNs-wHAT IL TO BE
DONE WITH THE TWO DELAWARE ROADS.
New YORK, Nov. Ga meeting will be hold on
Tuesday to consider plan for the reorgsnizs-
tion OF the New Jersey Southern Railroad and its
connections, including the two roads on the
Delaware Pennsula--the Smyrna and Delaware
Bay, and the Kont County railroads. II is propos-
ed to fund all the bonded debt.with its accrued
interest one-half in new bonds, and one-half in
registered stock. The debt Of the two Penin-
sula roads is Smyrna and Delaware Bay, $780,
500; Kent county, $500 900. Adding in the ac-
crued interest there will be $15G,5O0 in new
bonds issued to the Smyrna 4 Delaware Bay
road and $l60,5 to the Kent County. The
total bonded debt of the whole line to New
York will be 81, ,0l5500.
Mr.. John q. Stevens, engineer, has made AN
examination Of these roads and has prepared a
report. From the Maryland and Delaware con-
nections Mr.. Stevens has great hopes. These
roads are in fair condition, and arc doing good
local business, which the proposed Increased fa-
cilities would greatly enlarge. great deal of
baltimore freight would be diverted to
New York, and the present time to
Baltimore would be shortened one
half. which would increase travel greatly. At
least 150 carloads of peaches per Annum could
be- relied on. The new combination cannot
hope to take any heavy freight business be-
tween New York and Baltimore from the pres
ent routes, on account OF the necessity OF
frequent handling, but large light trade in
fruit, vegetables, fish, oysters and express mat
ter can be diverted by running express trains,
with refrigerator cars, at high rate of speed.
The new line would also probably get the pas
senger travel between Baltimore and Cape
May-G,000 persons last year.
Mr.. Stevens states that work to the amount OF
$38, $40 must be done on the Smyrna X Delaware
Bay road, and advises the extension Of Kent
County road to Herring Pond at an expense Of
1928 025, and to Rock Hall at an expense Of
$25, 800. telegraph line across Delaware Bay,
at Bombay Hook, will cost $4,000

have been named in connection with the clerk
shin of the next Congress of the United States,
ia Col. J. B. Peyton, formerly OF this city, but
now clerk of the House OF Delegates OF West
VIRGINIA. We know of no one whose quallfica
tions arc superior to Mr.. Peyton's for the posi-
tion in question. Although differing with him
politically, we have high appreciation OF his
character as gentleman. and his peculiar fit
ness for the trust suggested. As an evidence
of the standing of Mr.. Peyton in his adopted
State of West Virginia, aud with the body OF
which he is now clerk, we understand that he
has been endorsed by every member, OF both
narties. of the Legislature OF West Virginia
for the Office IN question. He will receive the
unanimous support OF the Congressional dele
gation from West Virginia, and we can see no
reason why he should not be taken up and
supported by the delegation from his native
state. Virginia, as there has been no one men
toned for the position who compares with him
in all the essential qualifications Tor the DIS
charge of the duties of the clerkship OF the ".

PARTIAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE VALLEY

PARTIAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE VALLEY
RAILROAD CAsE.-On Saturday last an agree
ment was entered into between tie author-
ties of the Valley Railroad and Messrs. G. r.
Mason, A. w. Hartman and Dennis Shana-
han, members of the syndicate, by which the
amounts due these contractors were amicably
adjusted. and final settlement made. The
basis of settlement was upon the estimate of
the chief Engineer, between which and the
estimate of the resident Engineer, there was
a difference of about s3,5OO-$2, 900 on Mr..
Mason's work. and 81, 500 on Col Hartman IS
no reduction of the resident Engineers es-
innate having been made upon the work of
Maj. Shanahau.
By this arrangement the Company pays to
these gentlemen about $4,000, equivalent to
cash. which is about rs per cent. of the amount
Cue, the residue being paid in bonds.
We are glad to know that at least some of
the money tied up in this affair, and Of which
the contractors have been so long deprived,
will at length be available, and wish that we
could record the settlement of the whole diff
ticulty.

A CHARITABLE 0BJECT.-Mrs. Pinckard,
lady OF some sixty or seventy years, is now
in this city soliciting subscriptions to a book
written by herself, entitled ''Bread of Heaven,
and Husks of Swine; or, the Curse OF Jeal-
ousy." The object to which the money thus
obtained is to be applied, is the education and
support Of five Of her little grandchildren, who
were left orphans by the war, their father hav-
ing been gallant officer in the Confederate
army. Several OF these little children are
helpless by reason of physical affection, and
this good woman is endeavoring to supply the
place of their natural protector. Apart from
the worthy object the book is said to possess
intrinsic merit and well worth the price asked.
We hope our citizens will extend to the author
a generous patronage. She comes recommend

worthy of sympathy and encouragement in the
