The people in the western end of the
Seventh Ward seem to be unanimously
opposed to the adoption of the ordinance
which proposes change in the grade
Of Scott and Fourteenth streets for the
benefit Of the Baltimore g. Philadelphia
Railroad Company. 1t may safely be
inferred that the citizens deem them
selves the injured parties by the pas
sage of the ordinance, or there would
not be such general uprising against
it, The proposition Of the railroad
company is to fill up Scott street and
Fourteenth street to the grade of the
railroad instead of crossing these streets
by bridges as the company first pro-
posed to do Scott street is the only
street in all that section Of the city call
ed Forty Acres that is curbed and
paved from Delaware avenue to Penn
sylvania avenue. Along this street are
built several handsome residences, and
quite number Of laboring men have
purchased lots upon it and built them
selves handsome, comfortable cottages
1t Is the thoroughfare for nearly all the
travel from one avenue to the other, and
it is the thoroughfare along which q
hundred or more children have to
travel to reach the only school in that
section of the city. The parents of
these children and pedestrians of all
classes and those who are compelled to
traverse the street with wagons or other
wheeled vehicles naturally object to
raising this street to grade with the
railroad on account of the danger of
crossing where the engines, cars and
shutters occupy so much Of the time in
passing back and forth. Besides these
objections the property holders com
lplain that the change will depreciate the
price OF their property to such an extent
that they will be compelled to sell it at
a sacrifice.
| The feeling is that the railroad COM
lpany should stand by their original
proposition embodied in the ordinance
passed, permitting the passage of the
road through the city under stipula.
lions agreed upon by all parties inter
!ested. The citizens say that they want
the railroad to come through the city
that they have even made sacrifices tc
enable it to come through the city, but
at the same time they say that while
the railroad company have rights to be
respected, 50 have the citizens. Under
these circumstances they are sending
l - h. ,,t1
against the passage of an ordinance
which the people look upon and de.
nounce as an outrage upon their rights

PAPERS PUBLISHED OUTSIDE OF
Delaware are assuring the people of a
very large peach crop The present year.
Such news is gratifying, no doubt, to
the peach growers, and to those who
love the delicious fruit, but down here
in Delaware, where people know some
thing about peaches, they would rather
make no predictions until the trees are
in blossom and the young germs are
safely over the Spring frosts. 1t car
only be said that the peach crop appar
emily is not yet killed, hut it has many
dangers to run before it natures, anc
the money for it is safe in the grower
pocket.

what senatos sapin says.

Senator Sabin ON returning to Saltwater on
Friday, was besieged by business associ.
ates and journalistic interyiewers. He had little
to say regarding the financial troubles of the
several enterprises with which he is connected,
preferring to wait until he has an opportunity
to get at the facts in the case. He is confident,
however, that Seymour, Sabin d Co, have
enough assets to take care OF everything, and
denies that there has been any improper an-
plication of the proceeds Of tho sales of stock.
As to matters political, the senator is posi-
tive in saying that he has never expected or IN
tended to retain the Craftsmanship Of the
national committee longer than until the meet
ing of the Chicago convention. And eFcn X ne
might desire to do so, he intinates that he has
no oyerweening desire to run his chances OF
the penitentiary under the newly-discoyered
civil service law. He also denies explicitly tina
he has stated that New York's financial trou'
bles would hurt the Republican party, and also
the rumors that he is financially interested IL

Pacific Love Charmss.

q woman who had learned how tomake
charms from her father, who had been a
famous a~strologer in his day, and got q
receipt that was warranted tosLrinE the
hard hearted millionaire to her fest. Il
was to mix nine drops of molasses, nine
pinches Of sugar and half q cupfni Of
cold, black tea, to be given in iteaspoon-
full doses three times q day, orOEtener-
the more she could get down him the
more he would love her. III didn't
work. The next one was for her TO
steal one of his socks, dipthe toe Of 1t
In whisky and wear it pinned around
her left knee, which she did for nine
days. Still he didn't love her. She
then resorted to the master charm,
which consisted in placinga suitiof unr
der garments in the bottom of q newly
made grave. BY the aidsof the sexton
Of the Masonic cemetery she worked 1t
through, but with no better results.
Then she sned him and got left.

acres-anu camages were asked TOR ting rigil
OF way. Sture appealed to the Polk count,
court, and q decision was rendered In his favoi
awarding him the damages claimed The rail-.
road company appealed to the supreme court,
and set up the plea that Sture had no right te
object to q railroad through his land, as he had
become poSSessed of it through the United
States homestead law. The company claimed
that under the United States laws of 1866.
highways could be constructed or opened
through such lands; it was also asserted that
the Polk county jury had rendered q verdict in
favor OF Adam Sure, instead of Andrew Sture,
and that papers in the case, lost from the files,
were replaced by the court with copies. All
these objections were oyerruled, and the de-
sAslon Of the Polk county court was affirmed.
Ihls decision IS in direct opposition to de.
clslons OF other supreme courts. 1t has been
held that, until the possessor of the land re.
celyed q patent, he has no right to prevent the
construction of railroads through his land:
that the mere entering Of the land under the
homestead act did not complete his title tc
ownership. Judge Mitchell holds that 8 home.
steader has rights, and that railroads cannot
trespass upon his property without paying
fun damages and being amenable TO the courts.

The New York panio Era.a

Bradstreet's Journal of Saturday the 18th,
says OF the financial outlook ssThe violence of
the storm seems spent Whatever happens
now will be accepected as its after effects, and
with more or less feeling of resignation. Wheth-
er the worst has been seen is a matter which
no one can tell, though there is a superauity of
assurance that it has. Those who have the best
reasons of knowing the situation are by no
means confident. Some of these may publicly
express such confidence. But the scare has
gone. The wildness of fright cannot be re-
newed. ALI the large operators have contributed
and are still contributing to strengthen the
market We shall know by about the end of
next week where we stand. AT present Wall
street is hopeful"

would be laughed at as an Innocent joke
and the next time he will sell something
worse than apple sauce for raspberry

an American grocer, who every day
