LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Must Purge Themselves.
10 The Editor Of the Evening Journal.


To the Editor of the Evening Journal.
SIR-The recent publication in the
of the announcement from
Dover, that the General Assembly does
not propose to grant any more electric
railway charters at this session, calls to
the attention of the public a most sur
prising condition OF affairs After
granting a charter TO the Wilmington
and New Castle Company, which one of
the Senators charac erized on the floor of
the Senate as not ft to offer to a dog,
that honorable body now proposes to re
spond to the demands of a corporation
and wholly refuse to reasonably con
slider any other railway bill how
ever. meritorious. OF course the tacit
exception from that harsh rule will
be the proposed amendment TO the
Wilmington City Railway Company's
charter, by which that company hopes to
have confirmed its authority to use cleo
tricity as motive power What
misfortune it is that the
people did not before the election
more fully investigate the dictatorship
roll Of the Delaware and P, w. & b.
railroads. A little care in that line
might have prevented the election to the
General Assembly OF any such director,
or any brother OF any such director
But it is a greater pity that any
of the members Of the General Assembly
will allow their ears to be closed and their
minds paralyzed to the reception and
consideration Of the arguments based
upon public good and advantage, and
will permit only the rails of the Delaware
railroad to speak and only political bosses
and officers Of existing companies to do
their thinking The mistake made in
tho selection of members of the Legsla-
ture for the session of 1893,
should be enough to put the
people on their guard in future
the servants of the people and not the
servants of the railroads constitute pro
per candidates for that honorable body
candidates for all offices within the gift
Of the people from the lowest municipal
office TO the governorship Of the state
must purge themselves from the suspi
cion of railroad domination.

story of the Wreck of tho Equator.
The well.known river tug Ivanhoe
passed up the river to Philadelphia yes
terday. The Ivanhoe was towing the
barge Equator, which, as has been
announced, was lost with all hands on
Thursday evening. A portion Of Cap.
tain Frambers statement is as follows
"The waves continually washed over
the tug and at times the barge disap
peared from view in the tremendous seas.
Suddenly she signalled for the tug to
wear around and that she was very
nearly full of water and sinking
replied Get into your lif0boat and / will
pick you up. The answer was, Our
boat is gone some time. / Immediately
cut the hawser and steamed alongside of
the Equator. The crew bad meanwhile
taken to the rigging and | got out lines
and tried to induce them TO jump. All
this time the barge was breaking up,
railroad ties and wrecksge were strewinp

several times rendered the lvanhoe
unmanageable, so that she collided Will
the barge four times.
1--WE began to fear for our own safety
as the tug began leaking badly. Sud
denly the barge keeled over and disap
peared. We launched our life boat al
great risk and sent her TO the rescue
but not a vestige of the crew was seen
We remained about the spot until p
m. Friday, and then in consequence o
the injuries to our boat and the threaten
ing aspect of the weather reluctant!
gave up the search. The barge foun
dered in twenty fathoms OF water whicl
would place her about eighteen Il

aroused considerable interes, in Fort
Worth railroad circles yesterday. The
Texas lines are accused OF issuing Chi
