JULIA A. DEWITT.
Julia A. Dewitt, wife Of the late
Rev. Joseph Dewitt, died January
2S, 1892, at the residence of her
son-in- law, John II. Chase, near
Johnstown, aged about II years.
Her maiden name was Robinson
of noble family. Her death did
not come unexpected to her friends
as she was an invalid for a great
many years. She was y member of
the NJ. +. church from the time of
her youth until her departure. She
was faithful companion and while
her husband attended the duties of
Judge of the orphans court, preach
ing the gospel and visiting the sick,
she remain at home directing affairs
and giving instructions to her chill
dren; such cares falling heavily up
on her in her feeble health. When
the messenger of death came she was
prepared to go. Her children arc all
married, except one invalid daugh-
ter, and have homes of their own
and have children and other cares
to draw their attention, but they
miss mother. One of her sons is
superintendent of the Sunday
school. We find him to be a noble
man and much is expected of him
by being endowned with such a
noble talent, reared in a grand
christian family and the influence
of the church thrown around him
from his childhood. The stricken
family have the sympathy of their
many friends.

J1NGLIAG RAILROAD MEN.
The Fight at Chester Between the Read
ing and the PENNSYLVANIA Men.


The greatest railroad war in the
connty's history, between the Reading
and the Pennsylvania, is now on.
George B. Lindsay, solicitor for South
Chester borough, came into chambers in
Philadelphia and asked Judge Clayton
to grant an injunction restraining the
Delaware River railroad and the South
Chester railroad from using Delaware
avenue on which to construct railroad,
and asking the judge to grant rule
compelling the Reading to take mp the
tracks that they have already put down.
William ! Schatfer, the attorney for the
Reading, unGarthed threenld ordinances
granting the Delaware River Company
the use of the streets which Judge Clay
ton had signed as burgess OF South
Chester in 1870, 1871 and 1879.
At that time the grant was made to
the Philadelphia, Wilmington ~ Balti-
more railroad, which was leased to the
Reading, and the title to the use of the
streets was transferred TO the Reading
by ordinance and by act Of the Legisla-
turr, Judge Clayton was Of the opinion
that the railroad company was making
an unreasonable use Of the streets, in
that they maintained cars MS boarding
houses ON the track This the Reading
has done to have a large force of men
ON hand, They had picked up the
Peuny's tracks and put them on the lots
nearby, and these men were needed for
protection. The judge has issued de-
cree stopping both companies from
doing any more work on the street until
after September 18TH, and will allow
neither side TO operate the road that they
have built until the South Chester
borough council has had time to act in
the nlnItcr. ----- ----- ------
