A Seaford gentle man related the other
night now newly-appointed minister of

effected certain reforms in his church a
short time ago. Said the new preacher
on his first appearance before his cOngre-
gation I'm gwine to reform matters
here somewhat. You people are in de
habit Of shoutin' and keepin' great deal
of fuss. Now l want all dat stopped and
it shall be stopped, no more shoutin' and

to quit holdin' your meetins 30 late you

| 1t is needless to say that tho new
preacher did effect tho reforms spoken of,
but quite IA commotion ensued among the
older officials, and several left the church.
Finally, one Sunday, just ~ the service
was about to be commenced, one of the
elders arose, and i'll very dignitied man

EASTERN SHORE R.4ILROID.
Nothing Definite Done as Yet by the
Directors of the e.. W. Il IL.


The railroad officials, who went down
to examine the Eastern Shore road,
returned yesterday week. The visit was one
of inspection and nothing definite has yet
been done with regard to the transfer of
the latter road to the p w. IL B. Co.
I he DIR ctors of the latter express will

road If it can Gc made to pay To ascer-
tair this it will be necessary that the latter
shall first oe thoroughly examined by
experts. fne directors did not take time
for critical inspection aud are only
qualified to estimate approximate ly its
probable running anI repair tXpenscs ard

The Eastern Shore road Is 3S miles long
instead of 33 ns stated yesterday, and a

extra efforts will be mede 10 divert somr
of the traffic to the Delaware road that
now finds its way from Salisbury and
Orisfield by water to B tltimore. Iuduce-
ments will also be off red to residents along
the line TO more thoroughly develop the
resources of their farms. Many men
in Wicomieo and Somerset counties
own farms of several hundred
acres, one man alone owning
10, 900 acres, which would be more thor
oughly cultivated if divided into smaller
farms of about 100 acres each. There is
room for considerable improvement in the
cultivation OF these lands, and it would be
the policy OF the p w. q b 90. TO encour-
age and foster such improvement
Al Salisbury, on the way down, the
party was joined by MIR. Huntington, the
controller of the Chesapeake " Ohio rail
road, which hes its termini at Richmond,
Virginia, and Huntingdon on the Ohio, "a
costly road which begins and ends
nowhere" said one of the party. 1t is
iHtimated that sometime in the future the
Chesapeake Il Ohio may find an outlet to

then the cowcatcber struck him and threw

AZ soon as the train had passed the men

that the decrease in and per cent
