The City Council held an interesting
and important meeting near the foot Of
Christiana street yesterday afternoon.
The meeting was held in response I'd an
application to the City Council by
The W. s. n. Railroad Company to
construct siding from Its south
side extension, TO a point where Chris
tiana avenue intersects the city line, do
respectfully petition Council to grant per
mission to lay tracks across ChFistiana
avenue, to connect with the Lobdell
Car Wheel Company new We! ks, aud
to extend said siding along the north-
east side Of Christiana Avenue to the
Christiana Iron Complny'S rolling
mills, TO the Diamond State Iron Com.
pany's Old Ferry mill and toJohnsou' =
forge, and to connect this siding with
these establishments. They will trans
fer cars for any other railroad company
TO and from any point along this siding
at the same rates that such companies
may charge the petitioners for like ser
vice.
The B. A. q. AMI the p. W. b Is.
companies also beng desirious Of lay.
ing tracks along the avenue and 10 the
manufactures named, were represented
AT the meeting, the first by Captain W.
IL. Smith, and Superintendent Council
ana the latter by President Hiuck,ey,
and Charles Warner. The W. Il \.
Company was represented Sy Col. ii.
DuPont, and th9property owners by
Mr.. Purdy Of the National Dredging
company and George &. Lubdell OF the
| nhI..Il ,p,rl.
representatives of the railroad com.
pAuies contended that it would be in.
justice 10 grant any one company All
exc!l i've right 10 lay tracks As desired
bv the W. ~. \. The avcnue is ouly
30 feet high and proposiJion was made
that each COmlauy he permitted TO lay
a track. THIS however II was found
wouId only leave 20 leet for a Rad way
which was dremrh 700 narrow.
Another prop '-ition WIS to widen the
avenue by taking 40 feet from the east
side, TO Ilch Mr. Lopirii objected, As
il would cut into his extensive wor&s
which his company WAS now building
on the avenue. Another proposition
was made 10 take 40 feet more from the
west side. which Mr.. Lobdell agreed 10
ii he WAS paid for his land what he re.
Gently paid for it-Sj50 por acrd.
The latter proposition struck the City
Council as the most favorable aTd the
members proposed to thcrerresentativeS
of the kaitro ID Companies that if they
jointly secured this land and filed it
properly To g'ade, that they would re-
linquish 40 tect of the avenue for thei.
tracks.
This proposition was left for the con.
sideration of the Railroad Companies,
and Council adjourned without taking
further action on the subject until the
companies named come to soue AMIGA.

W. Il w. PHOSPHATE.
Evidently an Error In the Kent
CODnty Analysis.

r Unfortunately tor the Walton q
Whann Company, manufacturers OF
phosphate, and one of the largest man
ufactories in the United States, the re
seems to have been some error made by
the Levy Court of Kent County in the
analyzation of their phosphate by the
State chemist. As stated yesterday
some members of the Levy Court of
Kent County recently took a sample OF
phosphate from bag at the Dover de
pot marked $40 in value. This sample
was sent to the Sta,e chemist at New
ark aud when analyzed it is said was
worth but S2S.
Mr.. Grubb. counsel for the Walton
q Whann Company, AS well as the gem
tlemen comprising the firm are posi-
tiveiy confident that there Is very
serious error that is injuring them in
their business as rival manufacturers,
are publishing the analysis. Fortu-
natelv for the Walton & Whann Com
pauy theiI phosphate has been sam
pled and analyzed III Pennsylvania,
Georgia, the Cdrolinas, Virginia and
other State where it is largely used
and in every case it comes fully up to
the required standard, Kent County
alone excepted. Farmers and dealers
both in the phosphate in Kent County
believe there is mistake. They arr
perfectly satisfied with the phosphate
and say it is the best manufactured.
This wear is the first that the I"'y
Court of Kent County has r'isrd
the prerogative of sampling anu anaIy.
zing phosphate.
The law under which 1t was done
was only passed IT lhe last session Of
the Legislature aud its passage "as
strongly urged 10y the Walton \ Whana
Company whllo other companies "p.
posed it, As this compauy Is compos'
ed of men Of voracity and high char C.
ter it docs not lJok plausible that they
would violate law which they favol-
ed and whIch WAS PASSED tor III" puf'
pose of detecting bad phospha'"H.
The law RELAXING to phosphate re-
0uires manufacturers to have it ana.
lived before throwrliuto the market
and the value Is required tG w marked
nron the bag. 1t then provides further
that the Levy Court of any CoHntv or
any farmer may sample any Dag Of
pLo phate lying in war RouSes or taken
to farm and this Samlle phosphate is
sent to the State Chemist al Newark
where it il analyzed again, numbers
and not names, being used to designate
the manufacturer OF the phosphate.
Tbs result, ifit does not agree with
.he original an&lysis condemns the
phosphate and subjects. the :nanutac.
tsr,r to a punishment. is believed
that in the case referred TO, the phos-
phate was damaged by b ing brought
in contact with line OF other in
CRED EMS. which exp,l ed the ammonia,
or t. Sc the tags designating the phos-
phate have acridently been put on Tie
wrong samples. The Levy Court has
the question Of another chemica! test
under consideration.

FLATTERING.-" Whoever" says the dis
tinguished German authority, Virchow,
"will take up and read the publications of
the American military medical staff will be
continually astonished anew at the richness
OF the experiences therein noted. The
utmost closeness and exactness of detail,
statistics carried down to the most minute
point, presentation Of facts gathered from
all sides of medical experience, have been
here brought together, in order that the
knowledge bought at SO dear price might
be transmitted in its most complete form to
the world of the present and of the future"
Europeans, he says in his lecture, have gone
through many wars to learn little, while
Americans have made the most for humanity
of their first war.

HIsToRY REPEATED.-Now that cotton
manufacturing is assuming some Importance
in South Carolina the papers there are dis
cussing the tariff question from a home
standpoint. The Anderson Intelligence r.
(dem) says: "All over the south factori es
are springing up, which, if successful, will
dispense the benefits Of large incomes in our
midst. The profits from this source have
built up and made the north powerful in
wealth. Their factories have been protected
until they are now safe for the future. With
us these institutions are in their infancy.
They need tender care, and it is the dictate
OF craftsmanship for the south to insist that
the same advantages be given to our mills
that have been extended to erect the colos-
sal establishments of the north. If en-
couraged and fostered here, they will do
more for us than they have for the north"

lucky with commendable spirit of fair
ness comedies the natural right of the re.
publicans to this Office, while others in a
more partisan spirit advocate the taking by
the democracy of any advantage they may
derive from this state of things. After the
painful experiences of the past season it is
the fervent prayer of the people that spirit
OF fairness and concession will animate both
parties, and that another unseemly dead
lock over the election of officers will not
signalize the meeting of congress. "Let us
have peace"

Loss AND GAIN-The Albany Journal
well says: "There will not be as much
wheat and corn exported from this country
this year as last, but the lesser quantity will
bring more money because of the increased
price the purchasers will have to pay for it.
If, however, there should be small per-
centage of decrease in the income derived
from this source, it will be more than made
up by the increased immigration antici-
pated. Although the average per month
for six months of the past year was over
forty thousand, that average will, it is
thought, be exceeded this year and as each
immigrant is supposed to bring with him at
least $1,000, the aggregate will be many
millions. The country was never more pros.
porous nor was the outlook ever more
encouraging than it is to-day. The only
cloud in our national horizon hangs over the
stricken home of our beloved president.
When that shadow shall be dispersed no
people on the face of the earth will have
more reason to be grateful for the present or
hopeful for the future"

Is He RIGHT 2-H. II. Faxon, the great
temperance apostle of Massachusetts, places
fearful responsibility upon certain officials
when he says 81 am now more than ever
convinced that with honest officials, who
are bound to do their duty, sixty per cent of
the woe and misery which are now the
result of the traffic can be stopped; and
whenever hear the authorities of any city
or town in the commonwealth saying that
the liquor law cannot be enforced, know
that they are towards, and unfit to fill the
positions into which, in most instances, they
have forced themselves. In Quincy, during
the short term of my service as special
officer, out of thirty writs issued, nineteen
different rum-sellers were complained of a
pretty good showing, especially as before
moving against any of them took pains to
send every licensed dealer in the town a
copy OF the screen law, that none of them
might plead Ignorance for not living up TO
its requirements"

ENTERPRISE DAMpENED.-A good story
is told of a brief interview early Sunday
morning between the artist of New York
illustrated paper and the policeman on duty
at the principal gate of the White House
The artist marched up to the gate and de.
manded admission. "Got card" said the
officer "No, but here are my credentials, "
said the artist, handing the officer a letter
from the manager of the publication in
question, which directed him to proceed
forthwith to Washington and make sketches
of the events incident to the death of the
president "You can't come in on any such
paper as that" said the policeman, returning
the document. "There is nobody dying,
and what's more, there amt going to be any
death here. The president is all right"
ave all thought in New York that he was
going to die when left there last night"
put in the artist. "That don't make any
difference; the president won't die this
time, and you had better go home. I won't
let you in" The artist made some inquir-
les concerning the presidents condition, and
the result was that he took the next train
for New York.
