4 CASE GROWING OUT or ALLEGED DEF>M\ToRY
REPORTS REGARDING DArPnIN ISLAND
IMPROVEMENTS.
Renorts from London say that "The Pail Mall
Gazette" edited and owned by William Waldorf
Aston has been sued for 100000 for the publica-
ton Of articles alleged to be defamatory of
plan for the Improvement Of Dauphn Island In
Mobile Bav. on the coast Of Alabama. The plan
Of the Improvement has been looked upon by
business men here for some time as perfectly
legitimate enterprise and prospectively of much
benefit when carried into effect to the
Southern coasting trade Dauphn Island
is about three miles from the main shore
at the southern point OF Mobile Bay and lies
about thirty miles directly south Of the city OF
Mobile 1t is a fact that between New-Orleans
and Fortress Monroe there are no harbors
whose waters will float the largest ships. A
few years ago, 1t is said, this Dauphn lsland
became an interesting study among engineers
Business men in Alabama and elsewhere nave
been in these later days looking for avenues
for trade with South America, where they might
introduce their coal and other products A plan
was conceived Of building great docks on Dau-
phin Island, which would float any steamship
Of the world. 1t was proposed to build rail-
way line from Mobile to the coast, bridge
channel three miles VIDE, ana coHHccl TIC i'iic
with Dauphin Island and thus secure whari
for the greatest steamships.
Money was not forthcoming in this country
for the advancement of the plan. and the IN
yestment OF English capital was sought En-
cheering experts were employed in England
and their reports wore favorable to the invest
ment About five millions of dollars were re-
quired to perfect all details and insure the
probable success Of the undertaking.
The titular president Of the company IS the
well-known lawyer, Robert Sewell. in this city
lie said yesterday that he knew nothing what
ever of the proceedings against The Pail Mall
Gazette" and declined TO speak further on the
subject The hint was given. however. from
other sources that when the plan OF railroad
along the western coast of Mobile Bay to con-
meet with Dauphin Island by tres
tework and drawbridge was mooted,
certain parties sought an interest In
the scheme and. failing TO secure an
investment. proposed another line extending
from the point Of the island on the east side OF
the entrance TO the bay. a far less practicabie
plan as a study of the maps will show IL Is
believed here In certain quarters that the at
tacks have been inspired by representatives
Of this aforementioned interest
Parties from this city are now in London, con-
ferring with capitalists there who, accepting
the recommendations OF the famous engineers
Hawkshaw and Hayter. are considering the ex-
pediency of venturing their money in the ad-
vancement of the enterprise.
