express train was delayed lhalf an hour
last evening at o'clock at the p, w.

blocked unlvoidsbly, for the reason that
the engine could not get away until re
pairs were made and the train taken to
Wilmington Traffic on the trolley lines
was seriously inconvenieneed and pas
sengefs had to be transferred during the
delay.
There was some talk OF arresting the
conductor and engineer cf the train, but
such a course would not have rsmedied
the difficulty, but on the contrary in
creased the delay, as the trainmen we're
