NEW o. & ". INJUNCTION.
The Odessa and Middletown RaiIroa
Will Get n Surprise


The managers of the Odessa and
Middletown railway played sharp
coup on their opponents last week in
buying over the opposition of Miss Mary
NJ. Merritt of Middletown, the person in
whose name the opposition to the prose
cution was brought in the injunction.
Counsel for the landowners, Willard
Salisbury, Jr., however, was just as
sharp, and has secured another iniunc-
ton in the name of Jonathan X. Will
liams of Odessa. 1t is believed Will
liams will Stick and will not be found
amenable TO the gilded Establishments
of the railroad lawyers.
All Middletown was struck with sur
prise at the readiness with which Miss
Merritt struck her colors. tits said that
President Polk visited her and carried in
his pocket five bright new gold $50
pieces. For this the lady gave the rail-
road about one quarter of an acre of
land at the entrance to the town, which
just gave the railroad the needed terri
tory to make the track turn off the State
road TO the p, w. & B. station.
This of course has practically ended
the suit before the chancellor.
Lands were being condemned Thurs
day and everything was going on
swlmmingly for the railroad men.
But counsel meanwhile saw other op-
ponents of the railroad who practically
were with Miss Merritt in the original
injunction action. Another writ of in
junction was got out in the name of
Jonathan X. Williams, which, upon the
application of Willard Salisbury, Jr.,
was granted by the chancellor Tues
day, thus leaving the o. & M. railway
under the same restraints as under the
Merritt injunction. The argument on
the new injunction will be heard to-
morrow.

LIBELED FOR $4,000.

United States Marshal Mahaffy Seizes an
English Tramp Steamer at tho Break
water.
United States Marshal Henry G. Mahaffy
served a libel on Saturday ON the English
steamer Berwick, now lying at the Break
water, for $40, 500.
The marshal went down to Lewes Friday
night, but the water was so rough the
steamship could not be boarded. This.
however, was successfully accomplished
Saturday morning.
The libels are on account of two pro-
tested notes for which the captain of the
vessel, representing its owners, is liable.
The debt was incurred at Charleston, S. G.,
when loading cargo of cotton for Liver
pool, and the money was advanced in
order to enable the captain to prosecute
his voyage. The notes were protested in
England.s Hence the libel
The steimship will be detained at Lewes
with a watchnlan aboard until due Sc
curity be furnished for the outcome of the
suit in the courts or otherproper settlement
of the case.
The steamer Berwick is well known in
this port.

DEAD IN AN rcE GORGE.
A st. Louis Salesman Who Lost Ills L
by TRYING to Crnss tho River an The L,

st. Louis Salesman WHO Lost His Life
by Trying TO Cross tho River on the Ice.
ST. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 1s.-A human
body formed part Of the ice gorge in the
river in front of the city aud was only
found yesterday. 1t was identified as
that Of w. G. Sproule, salesman in
the employ of Samuel G. Davis g. Com.
pany. He had evidently attempted to
cross the river on the ice before it be-
came heavy, broke through and unable
to regain the surface, by reason of the
swift current, braced himself in the hole
he had made and thus met death from
exposure.
This is gathered from the position of
the body, which was braced with tho
feet on the edge of an old hole, since
frozen over, and the back of the neck at
the opposite edge. Axes had to be used
and il was some time before the body
was extricated. The coroner's verdict
was death from exposure.

The directors of the Wilmington Dental
Manufacturing Company on Saturday last
declared per cent semi-annual dividend
payable on February LIST. The annual re-
port of the managers showed the concern
to be in ilourishing condition.
II is probable that the Wilmington CITY
Passenger Railway Company will decide to
tracks in case of fire. The jumpers will
be placed on the tracks and will be so ar
ranged as to allow the rubber hose of the
fire companies to pass through them with
out any delay to travel. The plan has been
suggested by Chief Engineer Robinson. ia

The Quarantine Officers patience has
been pretty severely taxed of late, seeing
that this is the third China steamer in sue
cession which has come in flying the yellow
flag. 1t may be that DR.. Mcintosh, the
Federal officer in charge of the quarantine
station on Angel island, is of the same
mind as DIR. LawlOI about this matter, but
yesterday morning they had a difference
which came near being serious. The story
Is best told in DR.. Lawlor's own words to
CALL reporter:
''The steamer came in and l ordered her
into quarantine. At daylight the captain
proceeded to take the ship over there. /
told them TO take the sick man. put him in
boat by himself and have him towed to
the island by another boat manned by
crew from the steamer. The captain did
so. At o'clock | arrived at the steamer on
board OF the Milen Griffith in company
with Mr. Center, the Mail Company's agent.
When we got to the steamer we found the
sick man in the boat drifting as tern of the
steamer, and the captain informed us that
he had sent the man ashore according 10 my
directions, but that DIR. Mcintosh had absO-
lutely refused to receive him.
The second mate. who had charge
OF the boat. had nothing else to do
but to bring the man back TO the steamer.
