To be Controlled by tho PennsyI-
yut,tu HafIrOud (omDauY.


The efforts of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company to secure control OF the
Delaware, Maryland Il Virginia railroad
were crowned with success Friday.
Control is said to have been secured by
the purchase of N. MacCready's interest.
The inability of the Pennsylvania to Sc
cure possession sooner is said to have
been caused by disagreement about the
price and the refusal of the Pennsylvania
to continue Thomas Groomes as superin-
tendent. MacCready, it is said, wanted
$4,000 more than the Pennsylvania
offered. compromise is said to hive
been effected. II is stated that the b. d.
o. Railroad Company made an effort to
obtain possession of the road. by this
purchase the Pennsy wanna gains control
OF the entire Peninsular railroad system.
Superintendent Mills of the Delaware
division, while on the way TO Philadelphia
Saturday morning, was seen bya GAzETTE
representative. lie said the sale WINS
consummnted Friday, and he took posses
sion of the road Friday night,nt o'clock.
Regarding the details of the sale he had
nothing TO say, declaring that he knew
none of the particulars.
The Delaware, Maryland d Virginia
railroad, which by this purchase passes
under the control of the Pennsylvania
system, comprises three lower Peninsula
ronds-the junction 81 Breakwater,
Breakwater q Frankford and the Worces-
ter. The first extends from Harrington
TO Lewes, passing through Milford and
Georgetown; the second from George
town to Frankfort and the third from
Frnnkford TO Snow Hill, with recent
extension to Frankfort City, on Chinco-
league Island. The entire length of
these roads is about ITO miles. The
State of Delaware is interested in the j.
& b. and b. q +. roads, having loaned
them $40O, 900 and 5000, 600, respectively
which is secured by first mortgage bonds

DISEASED MUTTON.
A Chicago journal Makes War
Upon the RepuIsivc Traffic.

Chicago journal Makes war
Upon the Repulsivc Traffic.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
CHICAGO, July Hundreds of diseased
sheep, the Neaos to-day asserts, are over
looked daily at the stock yards here and
slaughtered as mutton for the city. Says
the article:
"The health inspectors are apparently
in ignorance of the fact that diseased
sheep are almost daily sold at the
stock yards. Sales are made openly
despite the presence of the inspectors
and no bar has thus far been inter
posed to stop the repulsive tratfic.
The animals are shocking spectacles,
and the idea that such stuff is sold daily
as food for thousands is horrifying. A
thousand diseased sheep are bought at the
stock yards daily by mercenary 'scalpers'
and sold to the unsuspecting public as
good mutton. A syndicate is instructed
in the traffic.
"a reporter paid visit to the pen at
the stock yards yesterday for the purpose
of investigating. No inspectors were
about. Out of about 40 pens % con-
tanned diseased sheep, and on an average
there were 20 diseased sheep in one pen.
Scabs, foot rot and CHAMBERS or snuffies
were the ailments of the entire lot. The
sheep, ii was definitely ascertained, were,
slaughtered and are now in the local
butcher shops, or at the Jackson street
market
