The notice of public meeting Of citi-
zens to be held on Friday night was
thought to have been sent out by the
New Castle Wilmington incorpora tors,
but it has since been learned that posters
have been tackled in conspicuous places
signed by the Board of Trade, announc-
ing that Willard Salisbury, ESQ, would
address a meeting Of the Board Of Trade
and citizens of New Castle. This aroused
suspicion, as there is no such body as
Board Of Trade in existence here, and
gossip was unusually warm last even
ing.
The EVENING JOURNAL correspondent
interviewed several prominent citizens
on the subject to-day, one of whom is in
terested in the New Castle Wilmington
road He said
lisa bold scheme on the part of the Will
mington City Railway Company and the
Delaware Railroad Company to have this
so'called Board of Trade" draft set of
resolutions praising the mea ure that is
backed by Messers Lea. Bringhurst,
Salisbury and others of the Wilmington
City Railway Company who want
special charter to run TO
New Castle. There is no doubt
ia my mind that this is what they will
do, even If only six persons are present
at the meeting. This is manifest from
the fact that Mr. Salisbury, vice presi
dent and official attorney for the Will
mington City Railway Company, and
Hon. A. b Cooper of this city, (who is
assistant attorney for the Delaware rail-
road will be the speakers They have
not invited the attorney for the New
Castle road nor any of the incorporato1s
to attend.
Now these people have an indisput-
able right to apply for a charter and
build a road but the trouble is they
want the charter and then do not want
the road They are all interested in
either the Wilmington City Railway
Company or the Delaware Railroad.
More than this, two months before we
made application for a charter these
people were asked if there were any
prospects for an electric railway con

WONDERFUL RESULTS
A $4,000 Policy Issued at Age 4S
Becomes a Claim for $l3,25O.

The claim arising under Policy No. 18,752 is
q striking illustration Of what the Mutual
Life Insurance Company accompishes for its
policy-hOlders even in cases where the insur-
ance has been effected at a mature age. The
insured under the above mentioned policy
was IS years old when the contract was writ
ten, on October s5th. 1854 The premium
necessary to secure an insurance of S5,' 90 at
that age was S2l3.90 annually. OF course this
amount was susceptible of redu' tion through
the dividends declared by he company, but
the insured considered it wiser to leave his
share of the cash profits with the Mutual Life
Insurance Company for conversion into paid
up insurance to be added TO his policy. An
examination Of the following statement
shows that the original claim of 5000
was increased at maturity 70 Sl3,25s, and that
