The Baltiomore and Ohio Railroad.

The running of the first regular train
over the Delaware Division of the Bal
timore and Ohio's extension to Phila-
delphia last Wednesday attracted a
good deal of attention. The train
started from Wilmington and was run
to the State line of Maryland, thence
back to the State line of Pennsylvania,
a distance of thirty-two miles.
The Maryland line is about two miles
south of Newark, and the tracks run
across the sharp angle of Pennsylvania
which extends down between Della
ware and Maryland at point where it
is five feet wide. After the train stop
ped over the Maryland line most of the
persons on board alighted and picked
their way $50 feet through the mud
and water to the point in the woods
where the three States meet. The
spot is indicated first by long stone
just above the surface, which marks
Mason and Dixon's line. Beside it is
planted a triangular stone with the
initials of Delaware, Maryland and
Pennsylvania cut on the various sides.
On the west side is the following in
scriptiOn: Erected by H. G. S. Kew.
Md; }. Z. Eyre, Pa; G. r. Riddle.
Del, Commissioners, 1919" Some of
the visitors mounted the stone, in order
to say that they sat in three States at
one time others placed their thumbs
on the apex of the stOue in order to saw
that they had. their thumbs in the
three States at one time, while others
still stood in the narrow strip of Penn
sylvania and extended one hand into
Maryland and the other into Delaware
The stone is about three feet high, and
the three side each about fourteen in
ches wide. 1t is called prismatic
stone.
The charter from the State of Della
ware granting the company right of
way provided that the road should be
in running order by January l, 1885.

plished much in overcoming MANY OBJ

in time. The bridge over the Brandy
wine is 108 feet high and 900 feet long.

spec,al correspoudence of The Leader.
At the preliminary examination of
Frank Howard for the killing of Charles
Williams, Howard was admitted to 81 900
bail in one of the degrees of manslaughter.
The defense proved a great many extenu-
ating facts, and though the killing was
deliberate, popular feeling agrees with the
justice. Several witnesses established the
tact of the existence of a conspiracy to
take Howard 3 life. On the day of the
killing, Williams and a particular friend,
came to Lander, and it was proven that
they had said we came for blood and are
going TO have 1t. Williams persistently
tried to force a quarrel on Howard all day.
He followed him about c%ursing him, as
only the low frontier desperate can curse,
slapped him repeatedly in the face, and
finally told him that he would kill him if
he did not leave town before morning,
that he would swear it. A few moments
later Williams told a friend publicly that
he would kill Howard as threatened, and
his friend said that if he did not do it. he
would. Howard o heard Williams and
his friend using the language " are af-

shooting took place He took a turn or

NEW YORK, Aug. 2t.-Wong Chin
Foo, who was employed as interpreter
and secret agent in working up the case
against Fong All Ycc, arrested in Mon
treal for the murder Of Sing Lee, and de-
livered Friday to the American authori-
ties, tells an interesting story Of the case.
He says for some years the Chinese laun-
dry business of Montreal was monopo-
lized by three brothers named Fong.
They had accumulated a fortune and
were owners OF five large establishments
in Montreal. In 1884 Chuen Yin arrived.
opened a rival place in the neighborhood,
gained the good will of the Canadians,
and built up a lucrative business. The
Fongs commenced prosecuting him. This
brought law suits; there was a bitter liti-
cation, Chuen Yin winning the suit.
Sing Lee was an educated laundryman in
Rome, n. Y.,.a friend of Chuen Yin,
BY his efforts the Fongs were defeated,
aud Imprisonment stared them in the
face. Then followed Sing Lees sudden
disappearance and the subsequent revela-
tons. Wong Chin Foo said be worked
up the clues which led to the arrest of
Fong All Yee. He says the latter led a
double life in Montreal. By day he wore
Chinese clothes, managed the laundry,
and was known as Fong All zee, At
night he assumed American raiment, be-
clme a man about town, and was known
as Mr.. John Fower. In this latter char
acter he was an active member of the
Young Mems Christian Association, car
ried visiting cards on which his American
name was engraved, and kept up a limited
correspondence in English under that alias
Fower had secured entree into some
Montreal homes, and had become the ac-
k%nowledged lover of a pretty Canadian
girl. daughter Of a prosperous tailor. In
the %tailor's house was found his American
clothes, by which he was identified. He
is now in the county jail of Oneida
