A NEW AIR LINE RAILROAD PRO-
JECT.

The Philadelphia Ledger says that the
difficulties that have arisen between the
Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania
Railroad companies, through the at
tempt Of the form or company to estab-
lish new through line between New
York and Baltimore, has revived the
project Of a. airline route between New
York and Philadelphia, and the New
York papers express hope that the
present conflict will end in such result.
As it now is the Pennsylvania Company
hold the rific between New York and
Baltimore by the throat, and can TO a
very considerable extent exact its own
terms for traffic rates, In which it has
shown no discrimination, except in It's
own favor. Fair competition would be
q wholesome - corrective for present
complaints. The Pennsylvania now
holds the only direct railway line be-
tween New York aud Philadelphia; and
through It's agre mAnts with the Pbila-
delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
road holds strong control over ths
traffic arrangements OF that company.
The Pennsylvania Company also con-
trolls by lease the Philadelphia aud West
NtCulCl AbhllI O0u buob 1OhiONto WIN WIG
Philadelphia and Baltimore Central
Railroad, the two roads forming a con-
tinuous line from Philadelphia to the
3 squshanna River, near Port Deposit.
About twenty five miles Of additional
road would complete the line to Towsan-
towr. and from thence over the road to
Baltimore. This line would be parallel
to the Philadelphia Wilmington and
Baltimore aud about Of the same length.
The Baltimore and Ohio road, In order
to secure permanent and satisfactory
connections with New York, will be
compelled to secure the control OF the
Philadelphia Wilmington and Baltimore
to a junction Of the North Pennsylvania
a d frcm thence use the Bound BroOh
route. Should the projected airline
road from Philadelphia to Jersey CITY
be constructed, 1t would be done In the
interest of the Baltimore and Ohio. j
IS believed, however, that the mos
practical way out of the difficulty wonlt
be the construction of new line from
Baltimore to Philadelphia, in connection
with the Bound Brook route.

TIE BERNHARpr FAILURE.

The failure Of Wilmington people to
properly appreciate the opportunity offer
ed them OF enjoying the genius OF the
great French actress Sara Bernhardt, is
mortifying to those who hoped the lheatri
cal taste of this city was on q level
with that OF other cities Of like size. The
management were more surprised than
diseusted at the result as kI owing the
snterprising character OF Wilmington In
other respects they never once imagined
a failure In the Bernhard venture. In
Springfield, Mass, a city not quite rs
large as Wilmington, where the divine
Sara, appears next Monday night, the
sale OF seals in one day amounted to
Sl965, and only the fact that this sum
embraced every seat in the house pre-
vented the sale from being larger. From
email cities In the South come offers Of
$4,000 and 5000 70. one night OF Bern
hardt, which the management have To re-
fuse. The only night OF Ssra's engage
msnt undlsposed Of was awarded to
Wilmington, and the offer was declined.
Sara will enjoy rest next Tuesday
night.

FOUND IN THE SNOW.

About $40 O'Clock last evening while
officer Thomas was patroling his "beat,"
no came upon a man lying In the snow,
ut the corner of Front and French
streets. The individual was intoxicated
and half frozen, and In order that he
should not become entirely frozen the
kind hearted Off Ger provided him with
a nights lodging in one of the city cells.
This morning he was arraigned before
the Mayor aud gave his name as Edward
Collins. The officer said iu his testi-
mony that he thought the man had no
home. This the prisoner denied and
said he boarded at Fishers saloon on
Shipley street, and he was going to
leave town.
The Mayor informed him that he was
satisfied on tina. poiD, just as uch rs If
he saw him going, and to insure the
prisoners departure from the city he was

SCENES ON FRENCH STREET.
FAST DRIVING YASTERDAY AFTERNOON
A NUMBER OF HANDSOME CUTTERS


AND HORSES. ~ nc 20
It has been seven years since the
sleighing in and about this city has
beeu as good as at the present time.
Before the snow had ceased falling on
Tuesday number Of citizens fearing
It would disappear almost as rapidly
as 1t appeared, hastily got out their
sleighs and put them in use.
The snow is the very best kind for
sleighing, as when ID fell it packed,
thereby making solid surface. Who
ever has horse and sleigh is taking
advantage Of the present snow and
yesterday the sleighs were almost
coun le : aud all kind Of styles, from
the handsome cutter to the old FASH
ioned basket on runner. Before French
street was macadamized King street
was the fashionable boulevard for
slelghing by our citizens, but now it
is French. HFa ...s
The number of slsighs on French
street yes erday afternoon did not
come up in numbers to what they did
eight and nine years ago, nor were
there SO many OF business men out
yesterday. Notwithstanding this fact
there was considerable fast driving,
and many narrow escapes from acci-
dents. Hundreds Of spectators lined
the sidewalks and watched the sleighs
with breatbless interest as they dashed
by. At times it was dangerous for
pedestrians, especially ladies and chill.
dren, to cross the street. The horses
as we'll as the occupants Of the sleighs
seemed to ENJOY the spot. During The
afternoon but two accidents Of any &C
count occurred. A double team at
tached 10 sleigh belonging to Mrs.
Rogers by some means broke loose and
with the pole between them dashed
down the street on dead run, and did
not stop until reaching the foot of the
street, where their further progress
was stopped by Bush's freight house.
Had it not have been for the building
in question the. frightened animals
would have leaped into the Christiana.
| Another team, the osner's name of
which could not be ascertained, was
completely demolished, but fortunate
ly the occupants escaped unhurt.
Among those who exhibited fast
steppers were City Auditor Under
wood John w. Reeve, Thomas l. Rus
sell, James McComb, A. 5. Elliott, w.
s. Qui:lsy, NJ. RishOnberger and
others.
Young America is also bound to en-
/ Joy the sport, and all the hills are be-
ing used for the purpose. Thus far no
shedding accidents have been reported
although there has been a number ei
narrow escapes.
