Outside Capitalists Attracted by
Wilmington Prospects.

The many improvements going on in
this city, and those in contemplation,
are likely to make our progress rapid
one in the new future. Hardly a day
passes but that we have fresh indica'
tions of the rapid growing interest taken
in our city by outsiders. Yesterday a
party of Philadelphia business men and
capitalists, Messrs. VIM. H. jackson,
Paul kavanagh and Harry l.. lorke,
paid us visit, inspecting the large
manufacturing establishments, the pub
lie buildings, and other objects of in
terest. They were fully satisfied that
there was an abundant field here for the
successful investment of capital, hut
spoke of the different opportunities
they noticed in general way, and we
believe their plans are not definitely
made. Their visit combined both
business and pleasure, and they wished
simply at the present time to note the
resources of the city, from personal
observation. The attention of these
gentlemen was first attracted by the
operations OF the Natioqal Dredging
campany, which they observed from
Pennsgrove, where they have been
spending the heated term.
