THE D, W. TO BE SOLD TO THE B. o.
SURVEYORS AT WORE ON TIE NEW
LINE.
1t seems now that the railroad prob
lem that has been puzzling the minds
of the people of Wilmington for the
past sixsweeks is nearing the solution
that was so confidently expected q
month ago, viz: the sale Of the Della
Ware Western Railroad, with all its
franchises to the Baltimore & Ohio Il.
r. Company. The little furry in Del
aware Western stock in this city,yes-
terday, was but the result Of one Of
the conditions precedent to this sale.
Col. McComb, the practical owner Of
Delaware Western, had contracted, it
is SAID, to deliver 4500 shares of its
stock 10 the b. 81 o. Company, where
upon the latter company agreed to
build the competing line between
Baltimore and Philadelphia. A week
ago the Colonel purchased of Mr.. VIM.
I. Carter d Philadelphia, about 1900
of the more than 1900 shares held by
that gentleman-Mr. Carter prefer
ring to hold the balance-but even
this purchase left him about 200
shares short of the required number.
Thus he was inpelled to go into the
market, yesterday, for the balance, his
negotiations for their purchase being
conducted by R. r. Robinson & Co.,
bankers, at Fourth and Market street.
At the same time Levi G. Bird, Esq,
cou nsel for the B. s. o., also went in
In the Tna q RI or NTH xryl.o nhiaAf ia Rn
known and, under the circumstances,
cannot be OWNED though Elliot, john
sou & Co., bankers, of Sixth and Mar
ket streets, for the purchase of D. w.
stock. Of course a 'boom" in the
price was the result, and from $25 per
share, the first offer, the stock went
up to $50, its par value. Col. Nc
Comb obtained over 300 shares, which
was more than he wanted, and made
his position safe. To day the stock
has dropped again to $25, at which
price Col. McComb, though not par
ticularly anxious for it's possession,
will take what is offered.
THE ROAD TO BE soLD.
Only one thing remains now for the
formal entrance of the Baltimore & Ohio
Company in;o this city, and that is the
transfer OF the road. 1t Is believed by
those in q position to know, that this
will be effected either to-day or to-
morrow, in Philadelphia.
SURVEYS BEING MADE.
Major San'l Cauby, of this city,is now
out at Kiamensi, with strong force,
ST arting the surveys for the new line be-
tween Baltimore and Philadelphia. The
surveyors will divide and work in boih
directions, and the operations will, In =
few days, be under the direction of the
B. S o. engineers.

The Reign of Rum.

The article in last weeks Journal on
the increase of rumseling and drunken
ness in Maine has been widely quoted and
much commented upon. If it arouses the
friends of temperance TO the necessity for
immediate, vigorous and persistent action,
it will have fulfilled its purpose. In some
quarters the Journals statements have
been used as arguments in favor of the
license system-as showing that prohibit
ton does not prohibit. But that is false
deduction. Prohibition does prohibit
when the laws are enforced and the fact
that they are enforced in some places fur
nishes good ground for the belief that
they may-ts they should-be enforced
everywhere.
SO far as other cities and towns are
concerned we have relied upon the state

been thought advisable to multiply quota
