lpany has leased for term ~ ninety
nine years the lines ofthe Mutual UninI
lCompany, guaranteeing the interest on
the bonds and annual dividends Of IL
per cent. on the stock. This agreement
was approved by the Directors OF botl
companies at full meetings fthc boards
Saturday. The Western Union direct.
orS met shortly after noon, and the Mu.
tnal Union directors an hour or two
aiterward. No opposition to the plan
was offered at either meeting, and the
approval of the Stockholders of both
! companies il expected To he given with
the same unanlnity.
by the terms Of the lease It IL pro
vided that the Western Union shall ns-
sumo all the obligations and contracts
OF tho Mutual Union, that it shall pay
the interest on the 81, 100, 600 bonds and
~ per cent. dividends on the SO, 900.
U~ share capital OF the company, and
that it shall establish sinking fund of
not less than $5o,OW IA year towards
the payment Of the principal Of the
bonds.
These charges amount IN 300, 900 n
year, the interest to $500, 900, the guar
anteed dividend to slI,Oo0, and the
payment +" the sinking fund TO 50, 900.
lle earnings Of the company have been
recently ut the rate of about 81 600, 900
q year, and the cost Of operating its
lines ha, been about two-thir,ls of the
gross earnings. A large reduction in
expenses is expected to be made by the
practical consolidation of the company
with the Western Union. Offices will |
be united rs rapidly aS possible and the

IN INTERESTING OPINION,
tHE DECISION OF TINE CHEZ
JUSTICE ON THE MDCHAN.
lCN LIEN Law. .

On Thursday last the Chief Justic
)civered an interesting opinion on tn
Mechanics Lien Law. The case wa
rgued on u bill of exceptions, whic1
Sad been filed by Benjamin Nields
Csq against the liens which had beel
led against James Aaron, former own
Of certain property, which he hat
bid to Samuel McClary.
The liens were filed by the Messrs
fnrlett, and Mr.. Nields' exceptions st;.
NJ that rs the Curletts were genera
I,utractOrs their liens were filed to,
Un; that they were filed in II days
|hen they should, by law, have beer
led after 80 days, and before 12O days
bon the completion Of the work.
The counsel on the other side conten-
! h that the Curletts were sub-contrac
r., that Aaron was the general CON
|lrtor and owner, that Curletts as sub
lnfractors were compelled to Ale their
|,in before 30 days, or be forever de-
|rred from lien. After the case had
zen fully argued, the Chief Justice de-
fded as follows:

BASE BALL.
A Quickstep VictOry--Full Record Of Sat-
urday's Games.

N NucAsU0P NlctoFy-null At0COru OF SAt-
urday's Games.
One of the best exhibitions of ball play
ing ever given in Chester, took place Satpr-
day. Fully 1900 persons witnessed the
exhibition game between the Quickstep of
this city and the Ross of Chester. Among
the audience were about 200 Wilmington
ians. The playing of both clubs was good,
the main strength of the Ross lies In their
pitcher and catcher, these two pla yers being
really irst-class. Murphy the pitcher has a
puzzling delivery, no less than four of the
Quickstep players striking out seven times
and they were unable to hit him but for six
safe hits. The pitching of Dorr was superb
and won frequent applause from the specta-
tors. He also played an excellent fielding
game, while Cusick, behind the bat held him
excellently. In the ninth inning
foul tip struck his mask, /,
breaking one of the wires and
cutting his head pretty badly; he took off
the mask and bandaged the wound, and
continued TO play the game out mid the ap-
plause of the audience. The pitchers did
such good work that the fielders on both
sides had comparatively an easy time of it..
The field of the Ross club is Q miserable
affair, being both hilly and rough, and is
hard for strange club to play upon.
