Don't Be Gloomy.

Those who are the victims Of mercurial
poisoning, or who are suffering from mercu-
rial rheumatism, are inclined to take a
gloomy view Of life when, as the poet says,
winter is folding its white tents aud spring
getting its thunderstorms together" Yet
these victims have no reason to despair.
s S. s. is a sure remedy for all forms oi
mercurial poisoning. Though tits purely
vegetable medicine, it is powerful, indeed
when called on to chase mercury, and the
last lingering effects Of mercury, out Of the
system. It performs the work with neatnes'
and dispatch, as thousands Of testimonial
show.

WHILE Milford capitalists permit
ted the movement to secure an Ice
nlant to fizzle out, our smaller neigh
bor-Smyrna-has moved promptly to
the front in the business. Without
any bluster or squealing that town has
ordered the machinery, and the plant
is an assured fact. When dollar gets
into the possession OF Milford capt
talisl's hands, the greedy clutch is so
tight that the metal representation Of
an eagle could not scream-even If 1t
were gifted with making sound The
reason why Milford never has any
failures for a large amount is, because
her men of money never risk dollar
in business, or lend it without thous-
and-fold security. The men who would
move forward in the effort to make
Milford a live town, and give her q
prosperous future, are unfortunately
not endowed with much Ofthis worlds
wealth. and so she stands at the foot o:
the ladder lacking assistance to climb
Milford needs an ice plant; water
works; manufactures, aud another
national bank.

D. M. & v. R. R. Deal.

An important railroad deal, one of the
greatest in the recent history of the state
has been contaminated By it the Philadel-
nbia wilmington and Baltimore Railroad
Company becomes the virtual owners OF the
Delaware. Maryland and Virginia railroad,
which was formed in 1888 by the consoida-
tiou of the Junction ard Breakwater and the
Breakwater and Fraukford railroads and
leased to the Pennsylvania company. The
D.. N. and V. railroad is one of the most
IMPORTANT feeders of the Delaware railroad.
On Nav 8, 1867, the Junction and Break
water Railroad Company, in accordance
with acts of the General Assembly, bor-
rov,ed SAoo 600 from the state, for which
thew gave a mortgage which covered all the
property of the company from Harrington
TO Iewes a distance @! thirty-eight miles.
The mortgage was recorded IN both Kent
and Sussex counties. It was not to draw
interest for two years, but after that 1t was
to pay per cent per annum. The mort
gaee was to become due January 1, 1891
later the state took a mortgage from the
Breakwater and Frankford Railroad Com
nanv for $500 600. That mortgage is not
yet due and it is the one that is missing
from the state treasurer's tin box.
The directors of the Junction aud Break
water road also gave a second mortgage to
The Farmers Loan and Trust Company of
mortgage Indebtedness of $65o.ooo. Three
weeks ago The New York Trust Company
gave notice that their mortgage was due and
fhat they would proceed against the COM
pauy.
Sheriff Cole of Kent county and Sheriff
Robinson of Sussex county therefore served
the necessary notice upon the directors.
The second mortgage embraced the fran
chise Of the railroad company and it began
to look as if the state would have to go into
fhe railroad business by taking up the New
York mortgage and foreclosing its own.
A committee of the railroad company and
a committee Of the General Assembly had a
meeting to consider the subject. The prop
osition submitted was this:
A mortgage for $500, 900 held by the state
and the mortgage for $3.50, 600 held by the
Farmers Loan and Trust Company of New
York became due on January I, 1891. In
order to meet that the Delaware, Maryland
and Virginia Railroad Company offers to pay
the state S62 900 on July I, 1891 $I72, 1888
on November I, 1891, and to issue three Fer
cent bonds to the amount of S3S5 900 which
will he held bv the state. The Philadelphia
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad COM
many guarantees the payment on this basis
and the y. NJ. and V. directors ask that the
state reserve for the P. W. and B. Company
the option of buying at par any ofthe three
ner cent. bonds that the state may wish to
sell. The P w. and B. Railroad Company
will also assume the $3.50, 900 mortgage held
nv The Farmers Loan and Trust Company
Of New York. They thus assume total
Indebtedness 1850, 900 and become virtually
owners of the D., M. and " railroad when
the General Assembly accepts the terms 0l
settlement which it is expected the y will.
