THE SHOPS NOT 10 BE lMOVED.

Clayton Cali.
The Pennsylvania railroad wanted a
central point to locate shops and offices for
their lines below Wilmington and selected
Clayton because four roads centre here,
and therefore, for engineering oversight,
for repairs, or for convenience of wreck
ing crews, in case of accidents no other
place presented so many advantages as
Clayton Again if such change removal
to Doverl was anticipated they would be
retrenching and cutting off expenses here,
but the reverse is the case, they are enlarg.
ing their borders and adding new and
more improved machinery from year to
year, have lately ordered the plumber and
painter here and their payroll is annually
enlarged. The repair shops were once at
Dover and removed here. Railroad COM
panies do not change their plans causing
outlay of money as often us certain news
papers would make the public believe.
The company have entered upon the
plan of owning houses for the superinten-
dentto occupy. but that has no significance
in this case, because tho same thing of
distance Of residence few miles occurs
on other divisions in adjoining states,
We may rest assured that the railroad
company will consult their own interests
in this matter regardless Of reports in
Wilmington or Dover papers and we think
it will be well for outsiders to wait until
they see the railroad company begin to
tear down their buildings before they
report removals. Possession is nine points
of the law

Anniversary Exercises.
The 4sth anniversary of the Pennsylvania
Seamen's Friend Society was held Sunday
evening in the Spring Garden Street
Church, Philadelphia. The annual report
was read by the corresponding secretary,
the Rev. George w. mclaughlin, ID. d.
II stated that the sailors are largely our
own countrymen. There is no class of
men that has such influence on the moral
prosperity of the world. The society has a
home where the seamen may have rest.
The Thursday evening religious service at
the home is feature of great Importance.
During tho year there were shipped 5S loan
Libraries, making a total of $3.50 since
1862.
The speakers were DIR. William Pepper,
Hon. Thomas Il. Bayard and President
George H.. Reed of Dickinson College.
Mr.. Bayard said:
II am here tonight because I have
known and loved many men who were
sailors on the mighty ocean. Upon the sea
we have not had our rights or our share.
This is not the time or place to discuss the
cause of the almost entire Punishment of
our flag from the sea. Each vocation has
its own virtue, the sailor has his, and the
nation or individual that does not know it
is certainly imperfect.
Sailors as a rule, are generous, open
hearted, rough, strong, brave and honest,
and they pass their lives in the face of
great things in that grand element-the
sea in its magnitude its wrath or its calm
ness. 1t is not place for small preiudices
The men who follow the sea are large
minded and generous, and when they come
to shore become more easily victimized and
deceived than others. With conquest or
withou. 1t we will have our fair share of
that great institution in the great waterway
of the world, and we must educate and
sustain the men who are to give back to
The subject is so grand, 50 full SO large,
each thought begets another the naviga-
ton of the globe. 1t is indeed fitting to
encourage a society which takes good care
of the seamen who are the guardians of
the lives of so many OF the people of
