Fleeing from the Old World

According to the present outlook the
immigration to this country this season
will be larger than it has been in many
years. On Sunday and Monday of this
week, fof instance, seven steamers
brought nearly three thousand steerage
passengers to this port, which is more
than twice as many as ever arrived in a
like period so early iE the season. If
this ratio Of increase keeps up we shall
probably have as many arrivals as we
had during the years immediately fol-
lowing the last Irish famine, when the
immigration statistics reached such
enormous proportions. The Commis-
sioners of Emigration are confidently
expecting a large increase and have
made preparations to extend their ac-
commodations. A noteworthy and i'm
portant fact 10 connection with the new
immigrants is that nearly all of them
are seeking homes in the West. Instead
of remaining in the city they start i'm
mediately for their destinations, their
transfer to the railroad cars being almost
simultaneous with their arrival in port.
This large increase in our population
means, of course, proportionate ad-
iition to our national wealth and de-
velopment. The majority of the new
corners, it is to be presumed, have more
or less money, but their chief value con-
sists in their industry, strength and
skill, by means of which they will in a
few years conquer the wilderness and
make it attractive and productive. No
matter how many may come we have
room and welcome for all, provided they
are honest and want to work. No other
class need apply.

The Visit to the 4ims House.

The Levy Court, yesterday, paid the
annual visit of inspection to the Aims
House, and, as usual, found every
thing in excellent condition. During
the morning joint business meeting
was held by the Court and the Trus-
tees of the Poor, at which the latter
body asked that an assessment of s
cents on the 500 be laid this year for
poor purposes the same as last year.
This would raise about $32, 900. The
Trustees expect an increase of about
fifteen per cent. in their expenses next
year, on account of the general rise in
provisions, clothing and other neces-
saries, but as they have a surplus on
hand from last year they expect to get
along without any increase of taxa
ton.
The petitions for the removal of the
Aims House will be presented at the
regular meeting of the Trustees on
Wednesday next.

The Coal OIL Horror.
ONE OF THE VICTIMS DEAD-AN IN
QUEST TO BE HELD.

ONE OF THE VICTIMS DEAD-AN IN
QUEST TO BE HELD.
John Sauerlander, Of No. 513 French
street, who was SO frightfully burned
by coal oil explosion on Tuesday
night, died between twelve and one
O'Clock, this morning. He seemed
somewhat better yesterday, but last
night a reaction set in, and he sank
lower and lower until death ended his
sufferings.
Mr.. Sauerlander was a native of
Prussia, where he was born on May
4th, 1889. He came to this country in
1845, and lived in New York and Phil
adelphia, coming to Wilmington in
1866. He had large acquaintance
and was well-liked by his friends.
Mrs. Sauerlander is still improving,
and hopes are now ent> rtained Of her
ultimate recovery.
The Coroner has decided to hold an
inquest over the body of Mr.. Sauer-
lander, and will fully investigate all
the circumstances of the accident.
THE INQUEST STARTED.
The Coroner's jury assembled at the
house at II o'clock, this morning, and
after being in session over the body, adj
journed to meet at Undertaken Palmer's
office, on Shpley street, above Front,
tomorrow evening, at 7.30 o'clock. The
postponement was for the purpose of
giving the Coroner and opportunity to
look up all the testimony in the case
and summon the necessary witnesses.

More Railroad Talk.
BALTIMoRE's LONG DESIRED NEW OUT
LET,

LET.
The Baltimore american of this
morning says that it learned YESTERDAY
from entirely reliable sources that
project which has been on foot some
time for building q new railroad be.
tween Baltimore and Philadelphia has
finally assumed such shape as to lead
to the belief that at no very distant
day the construction of the road will
be commenced. State Senator Herman
Stump, of Hartford county. will in a
day or two present an application to
the Legislature for charter for that
part Of the new railroad which will be
in Maryland and steps for procuring
the charter in Delaware have already
been taken. There is great reticence
among railroad men in regard to the
matter, and although some gentlemen
connected with both the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad and the Northern Cen
trail Railway admitted that they had
heard r'lmors of such a scheme being
on foot, they claimed that they were
not acquainted with any of the par
ticulars. From all indications it would
seem that the plan is in the hands of
people who are not attached to any
road, and it was stated positively by a
large capitalist who will be Interested
that the new road will be an entirely
independent corporation. The same
party stated that it would be direct
line between the two cities, and of
about the same length as the Philadel-
phia, Wilmington and Baltimore Rail-
road, which has so long enjoyed the
monopoly of the traffic between the
two cities. Arrangements have al
ready been perfected for securing ex-
cellent terminal facilities both in Bal
timore and Philadelphia, and as the
enterprise is backed up by any amount
of money which may be needed, and
as there is not likely to be any opposi-
ton to granting the charters by the
Legislatures of either this State or
Delaware, the prospect of a competing
line to Philadelphia may be considered
as one of the improvements in the near

SPLENDID IRON BUSINESS PREDICT

SPLENDID IRON BUSINESS PREDICTED.
PITTsBURe, March 24.-The Tele-
graph yesterday afternoon had care
fully prepared article on the status of
the iron trade, written by gentleman
thoroughly posted. 1t says it is use
less to deny what is an evident fact,
that there has been lull in the iron
trade for the past three or four weeks;
that the heavy orders and sales of the
last half of December and the first
three weeks of January have fallen off.
This can be ascribed to two causes,
both of which are temporary. The
first was overtrading on the last OF
December and the 1st of January
The second was the state of the coun.
try roads, which was bad. The indi-
cations for the spring business are
that it will be larger in volume thar
has ever been known, and that the
price will be at least what it is a
present, SIS 25 for nails and cents fol
bar iron.

Proposed improvements.

1t is now proposed to make some al
terations in the Delaware Railroad of

streets.
The contemplated improvements con
sists in the removal of the telegraph OF
flee from the corner of Water aud
French to the building at the southeast
corner of Front and French stree's,
which will be fitted up for that pur-
pose.
The partition which separates the
main Office in the building at w Water and
French streets from the telegraph office,
will be torn down and the room made
into one, and fitted up as an Office for
Mr.. /. N. Mills, General Manager of the
Delaware Railroad. This change will

POJice Court.

At the hearing before the Mayor
last evening, the first to occupy the
dock, was young man who gave his
name as Charles Bracken.
Charles was arrested on the COM
plant OF Mr.. Downing, who keeps a
restaurant at Third aud Market streets.
Mr.. Downing testified that he came in
his place yesterday afternoon, and af-
ter devouring with an evident relish
five fish cakes, refused to pay for them
AS Mr.. Downing thought he could not
furnish fish cakes, especially such a
large number to one person free of
cost, he politely requested Charles to
settle. TO this request Charles enter
ed demurrer, and to make it more
| forcibly he flourished revolver and
demanded to know who would make
him pay for them. Without making any
reply, Mr.. Downing quietly walked
out of his place and telephoned an Of
ficer. Instead of paying twenty-five
cents for the fish cakes that he ate
Charles was requested by the Mayor
to pay 81 and costs,
John Collins was next arraigned on
the charge of selling liquor on Sunday.
| This is the same man who was before
the Mayor on Tuesday night for the
offence, but as the evidence was insult
ficient he was discharged. 1t appears
that John has been in the habit of sell
ing liquor to a man named Matthew
Kyle. This action ON his part did not
suit Kyle's wife, SO she entered suit
against him. At the hearing on We'd
nesday evening, her testimony was
very meagre as was also the testimony
of Hugh Flanagan. At the hearing
last evening, Hugh Flanagan, Mat
thew Kyle and Hugh Shannon all tes-
titled that they had drank liquor there
on Sunday.
Mrs. Kyle, not altogether licking the
testimony OF the last witness, kept con
stantly interrupting b IN. She was warn
ed by the Mayor TO desist, but as sh'
would not, he imposed penalty of $l(
for contempt. Collins was required to
give 500 bail for his appearance a
Court.
There were no cases this morning
