If the new railroad to Baltimore enters
Delaware by the route surveyed it will
have to cross the little triangular strip of
ground which separates the circular
northern part Of Delaware from the State
of Marylsud. This triangular tract, which
is almost wedge-sbaped, ia probably not
much over quarter of mile wide at the
upper end and it runs down nearly four
miles between Delaware aud Maryland till
it comes tc point at the intersection OF
State line by the dividing line between
White Clay Greek and Pencader hundreds.
OF course, down in that neighborhood it
becomes so narrow that it would be easy
to step from this State into Maryland right
over portion of PaunsyIv mia.
One Of the most singular things about
ii is that though this laundering division
of the three States appears on all the maps,
and everybody recognizes the legal right
ofPennsylvania to this triangle, that State
does not, and never has. exercised any
Jurisdiction over it. 1t ia practically q
part OF Delaware, ard the people re.
siding on the territory vote and
pay taxes in Delaware, and it has not
sen many years since William Smith
whose residence wss clearly within this
triangular piece of Pennsylvania, was
elected State Senator Tor this county
and held his seat without OBJ sction, though
there was some little talk OF contest. Still
the singular fact that Delaware Possesses
and governs portion OF the clearly
recognized territory of Pennsylvania might
at any time produce very grave legal diff
culties, and the mistake of the old sur.
vey ought to be remedied.
Pennsylvania is, we presume, entirely
ready, STILL Gs it was some years ago. to
cede to this State the land we practically
hold already, and all that is requisite tc
make the legal boundary accord with tina,
which usage has made the boundary TO,
considerably more than century, is tc
extend Mason and Dixon's line eastward
from quarter to half mile till it strike.
the circular northern boundary OF Della
ware. For some reason negotiations be
gun some years ago TO accomplish this fel
through because Of some neglect by th:,
State to go ahead with the matter. Til,
present Legislature should pass an act, Il
one is needed to authorize the reopeniDs
of the negotiations.
