Of the Delaware end Of the road, We
called upon Mr.. s. N. Curtis, on. Of
tn" Directors, vest -rday morning, for
information regarding the matter.
That gentleman imiorrned US that a
meeting Of the Directors was held on
Thursday last, but, owing to the alb.
sehce of quorum, no business was
transacted. The Pennsylvania Com
pany, however, have notified tn. p.
x ID. that they will surrender the lease
OF the road and remove their rolling
stock, etc, by February 10Th. In all
probability II the road stops at all,
which is doubtful az another corpora
ton have signited their Willingness to
repair all damages and operate it, it
will only be that portion between Lam
d-nberg and Delaware City.
Mr.. Curtis stated that he did not fee
at Liberty, ust at present, to give the
names of the parties who contemplate
running it. The road in question has
many advantages, as it connects with

A STAR reporter to-day called Secretary

Salusk1n, one OF the murdererS Of the Perkins
family, in which Chief Moses. nov in this city,
is charged with having deceived the whites In
the recent troubles, and vita having tire tcher-
ously meditated hostilittes while pretending to
be peaceably disposed. The Secretary says
that all the Information received, In great part
from military sources, cOntradictS the story In
every essential part. He adds that the Indian
