From City to Country.

We noted last summer the destruc-
tiOn by fire of the valuable barn and
contents on the farm of Robert H.
Cummins, in the Alley, occupied by
Samuel p. Truax. These were re-
placed as speedily as could be done for
the ingathering of the Fall crops by
new, substantial, and completely equip
ped buildings at a cost of $4,000.
In the month of Nav Mr. Cummins
decided on another change that calls
for considerable larger outlay, viz ::
put up another dwelling for Mr.. Truax
to remain on in charge of the farm as
tenant, followed by remodeling of
the old dwelling so Mr.. g., can change
his residence from Philadelphia to his
farm permanently. This has been 90.
ing on the past month with consider
able dispatch, the plastering being fin
ished last week, the work of the pain
ter and paperhanger following in due
order, Mr.. Truax expecting to move to
the new dwelling in a week or so. 1t
is seven room house, mansard roof,
directly on the opposite side of the
lane from the old, some 80 feet in an
orchard that has been converted into a
park.
The old building is to be changed
into "A new one havingno resemblance
to its former self Only the frame
work will remain; all the rest will be
new. We do not know just exactly
the changes, but it is to have a swell
front, attractive gables, porches, &c,
with an inside finish with the comforts
as near as possible, to city dwellings.
Several thousand dollars are to be
spent on it as we understand, to make
a complete home. Mr.. Cummins de-
sires to get into the country and will
hurry the work to as early compile
tiOn as possible.

CERTAIN parties in New Castle County
are agitating the question of running Sun
day trains on the Delaware railroad. 1t
was always said in the early days of this
road that the charter forbid Sunday traffic,
and when q locomotive and car were run
over it on Sunday in the early days Of
the late war bearing important news as an
emergency, there was considerable talk
among a certain class of violating the char
ter, &c Now the Every Eoening steps to
the front with information that this idea of
Sunday trains and traffic was all delusiOn
and says an inspection of the charter,
granted June 26th, 1886, and printed in
Volume TX of the Laws of Delaware,
shows that no reference was made therin to
this subject.
The Sunday Star, of Wilmington, which
is in favor of Sunday trains, quotes a news
paper man as accounting for the nOn-run-
ming of trains to the fact that General Su-
perintendent Kenney is a religious man,
and that he is backed by Geo. V. Massey,
who is a strict Sabbatarian. The agitation
was first set in motion by Ex-U. S. Mar
shall McMullen, who wanted to visit Will
mington on Sundays, and the anti-Sabba-
tarians are re-echoing his sentiments with
