The Ne,o Rassroad scheme.
WHAT THE DELAWARE RAILROAD
PROPOSE DOING.

WHAT THE DELAWARE RAlLROAD
PROPOSE DOING.
In 1875 q survey was made from
Dover 10 Lewes under instructions OF
the Delaware Railroad Company for q
new line proposed to be run between
the two places, by way of Frederick,
Milford aud Milton. A person looking
on the map at the railroad system In the
State will notice that from Dover the
main line veers somewhat TO the west
and passes directly down the State. At
Harrington the junction & Breakwater
Railroad branches off at right angles
and extends TO Milford, and then away
10 the southeastern corner of the State.
II will also be noticed that by the course
Of these roads large section Of country
has no handy outlet, and that quite a
tortuous and roundabout way has TO be
taken to reach Milford. 1t was this,
combined, possibly, with desire TO get
possession Of the Junction 4 Break
water Railroad, that led TO the ordering
Of the survey. More recently, aud, In
deed, within the past two months the
project has been revived again, and
there is now much talk favorable to the
enterprise In the section throut b which
the proposed line runs.
AS already announced In the GAZETTE
committees have gone to Milford and
Frederick to confer with the people
there, and land owners have been SC
liberal as TO offer the new line free
right Of way. Among these are Vim.
Townsend, j. NJ. Reed and j. s. Willis.
Frederick correspondent writing In
favor Of the road to the State Sentinel
says
"Waving all considerations OF the fer
tile and profitable area Of country from
Dover to Milford, and Its capability tt
Afford patronage to railroad equal IN
all respects TO any number of miles now
traversed by the Delaware railroad, and
leaving this entirely out Of the PROPOSE
ton, we make this truthful aud uuques
tionable assertion, viz: That If Reho
both, with its excellent natural attract
iveness, shall ever be lifted fIom III
present vague existence to the zenith U
undisputed success, aud made the peel
Of Cape May and other summer resorts
1t must be by shortening the distance
from Dover there, by the twenty or more
miles that this new line would eff"ct.
On the other hand the Milford Chron
icle remarks editorially:
swell, aside from having railroad
handy at their doors, whereby TO shiI
whatever farm produce they may have
TO transport TO or from the city, whal
good will the new enterprise confer OF
them in the way Of transportation? vii
the new line take their peaches to Phil
adelphia at more reasonable figure, o.
are they only aiming to compete will
the Old Dominion Company, who have
recently done so much for the lowe
part of th State? Will the p, W. q
b. X. r. lower its present exorbitanl
passenger fare to and from Philadelphia
or Its way stations? We venture to pre-
dict, no! Onll
we would have liked to have seen th'
enterprise In some hands that woul'
have benefited the people more than W,
believe it will If built by the p, w. 1
Railroad.

in this city, the success Of the day, the
"Octoroon." The piece Is presented by
the Gotthold Combination, Who have

and have presented the play in all the
principal cities OF the country. In order
that 1t shall be presented in true man
ner, the combination carry with them a

The "Octoroon" Is one Of the most in-
teresting dramas on the stage. The Got

superb style, interpreting the dramatic
features strongly and artistically. The
Old Dominion vocalists received half
dozen encores. The scenic effects are
