Changes In the Philadeiphia and Salem
Line AevFals some History.
The Wilmington and Northern Railroad
Company which recently purchased the
Philadelphla ard Salem Steamboat Com
panys line. including the steamboats,
Major Reybaid and Delaware. and the
wharves snd right Of way between those
cities, viii heKiu to operate the new line
about March The boats viii probably
be started with new officers and crews,
and the Reybold is now being handsomely
reftted il this city. The railroad COM
pany has also acquired possession Of the
valuable wharf property and storehouse
at Salem, a controlling interest in the
Pennsylvania bier, and other franchises.
1t is thought that the two old side wheel
steamers will be transformed into freight
boats, ard fast passenger steamboat, of 8
modern pattern, will be built to run
between Salem and Philadelphia, stop
ping at all points on the river, including
the w. & N piers. 1t the mouth of the
Christiana. The old line was established
by Major Philip Reybold about forty
years ago
The Major Rsybeld and Delaware are
very old steamers, and cannot compare In
any form with the steamboats, that are
being built and run at the present day.
They both have very poor accOmmoda-
tions for passengers, although they were
considered floating palaces when they
were new The Reynolds engine was
built in 1647 at the Harlan and Hollings-
worth Company's and since that time it
has been in almost constant use, with but
very few alterations. The steamer was
caught in a cyclone just above New
Castle one evening in the summer of 1885
and stripped almost to the waters edge
She was tnen rebuilt, but not altered
and as her machinery was not greatly
damaged, but few changes were made in
it. The Reybold has been the only
steamer running on the line for several
months, and owing to its poor &C.
acommodation For passengers and
its lack of speed, it had been
poorly patronized for some time. The
steamer, however, as did all the other
boats of the line, carried large quantities
of freight, aud as this was the best faeil-
ity enjoyed by the merchants of the
towns along thu river for quick and safe
transit, they viii miss the old steamer
greatly
The steamboat Delaware has been re-
modelled several times, she is still old in
pattern and both her machinery and her
shape are disadvantageous to good speed
The old steamer was at one time called
the Swan. Shortly after the close of the
war she was rebuilt, enlarged and chris
tened the Perry Her name was changed
to Delaware in 1880, when she was again
placed on the ways for alterations. OF
late years she has been running only
about three months in the year, and has
carried bat few passengers. Richard
Blocksom of No sos Franklin street, this
city, who is pilot on the Delaware, will
command the Reybold.

etiirms the judgment OF the court
below. The point was whether
a general law providing that when cattle
were taken up under the district stock
law written notice should be given to
the owner Of the cattle, would control a
subsequent district sock law which did
not provide for any notice whatever.
The decision was that the later district
stock law embodied the whole law
governing cattle and that written notice
need not be given.
