NEW CASTLE. March IA.
Yesterday afternoon passengers on
the New Castle accom- NJ odatlon train
at Wilmington were surprised when
ordered to get upon the express.
Then all hands were more than sur
prised when the train began to 60
back wards and kept on going until
1t reached EdHnoor Then IL became
known that one OF Warmers sand
boats had collided with one of the
piers of the railroad bridge over the
Chrlstiana and the draw could not he
turned on and oil railroad traffic over
that road was consequently stopped.
| Whom the express arrived here the
northbound express was waiting to go
the cut Off route. Freight trains were
lined away down along the truck at
the sight presented to the eye would
make one believe that New Castle was
n regular business centre. The New
Castle accomin odation train was o
thing unknown to the people here yes.
lterday afternoon. and the only alter
nation loft for you was to walk to
Wilmington II you wanted to go away
unless you waited for the regular
trains. New Castle people are being
treated In a shameful manner by the
railroad company.
True 1t may he that some Of our men
are getting work while the bridge Is
being fixed but IL Is not through love
but simply because the company
wants the work done. III the cut off
was accessible to the express trains
why then did the company not send
the accommodation train over that
route? What cares the railroad COM
pany for New Castle people. 1t has
got them under its thumb and it In
tends to treat them Just as 1t ple Asses.
Good luck seemed to cling to Chas.
Lancaster and William Duncan again
yesterday when they went fishing
While rowing down the river they
counted two flocks of wild ducks, In
each OF which there were thirteen.
When they pulled IN their net they
found that they had caught thirteen
day OF March. So 1t would seem that
thirteen Ia not altogether such an un-
lucky number after all.
Gap" Hunter and his mate caught
three shad yesterday. Everything IL
huetle-bustle among tho fishermen
now, SO that they may get share OF
the early harvest. The local traders
do not like the early shad, because
they havs to pay too high prices
themselves for the fish and can make
but a very small profit.

that game OF base ball has been play.
