LEWEs RAILROAD EXTENSION.
Advantages Of the Queenstown g. Dem
ton Railroad to Baltimore.
Baltimore Sun special.


DENTON, Mp, Jan. 2l.-Tnterest in the
proposed Queenstown & Denton railroad
is intensified since bill has been intro
duced i'll the Delaware Legislature asking
for charter so that the road NAV extend
to Lewes Del, via Bridgeville and George
town. This would reopen Rehoboth Beach
as a summer resort to Washington and
Baltimore, and would put them within
reach of an excellent iresort two hours
earlier than any other could be reached.
Aside from the benefits afforded the
towns along the proposed route, it would
seem that the business interests of Balti-
more would be greatly encouraged and
widened by the construction of this road
1t would bring to the Monumental city the
trade Of a section of the Eastern Shore
and Delaware that Is thrifty, populous
and productive.
There are hundreds of farmers here who
could probably engage in the dairy bust
ness If only city could be easily reached
for the products. Many others would
make specially of early vegetables if
quick railroad facilities were guaranteed,
while the fruit and berry growers would
certainly ship their crops to the Maryland
metropolis, other things being equal.
These three things are rendered next to
impossible under the present conditions,
and Philadelphia and New York get these
shipments which might otherwise go 10
Baltimore The line, if laid down, could
not in any sense be called competing line
for it does not parallel any other railroad.
1t merely goes through territory where
railroads do not traverse, and would ex.
tend such facilities as heretofore have
never been enjoyed.
Those who do their shopping in the city
naturally go TO Philadelphia now, because
the distance is shorter and the fare less.
All of this would be diverted to Baltimore
should the proposed railroad be con.
| structed, as it would bring us practically
near and with much cheaper rates.
Some anxiety 10 felt by those who have
the enterprise at heart lest the influence OF
the Pennsylvania railroad in the Della.
ware Legislature may be disposed to an.
tagonize the bill granting n charter through
Delaware. II the bill should fail, it might
defeat the construction OF the road even as
far as Denton.

THE TWELPE-MILE CIRCLE,


Some Comments Upon Its Original
Course aud the Recent Surveys.
Editor Gasettc: There was recently read
before the Historical Society paper on the
northern circular boundary of Delaware
The term "l2.mile circle" is a misnomer.
The line is segment of a 2i-mile circle,
with a l2.mile radius. The line never ex-
tended across the river into Jersey, but
commenced at the Delaware river and
went westward. This line has never be.
fore been in dispute, being originally the
boundary between adjacent counties of the
same proprietary, but now it has become
the boundary between States, and so is of
national Importance.
] was interested to learn the method
pursued by the original surveyors. They
ran line from New Castle due north, the
required distance; and from that point
they found the circular line east and west.
u is stated that the recent survey was made
from the Jriangles of the United States
Coast Survey. But for the verification and
rectiticat!on of All interstate line. this sur
yey should be made de novo, and without
reference to any but the original survey.
noticed that there were two points of
departure mentioned in the articles; one
the old horse dyke: the other the Court
House at New Castle.
I've understood that the original survey
proceeded from the horse dyke and that
the recent survey made use of the Court
House; This would make difference of
several hundred yards in the northing.
But il is evident that for any survey to
correspond with the original, the horse
dyke IS the proper point OF departure. No
action to change an interstate line can be
valid without the consent OF Congress.

Mr. Washington Hastings Orders the
Dover Lawyer Out of the Senatorial
Contest.
Morning Nows, Friday.
] observe in the evening papers that
Speaker Henry II. McMullen voted to-day
in the joint assembly for Mr.. George V.
Massey for Senator. No one, take it, will
for a moment question Mr.. McMullen's
individual right to take this course it, in
his Judgment. it is proper for him to re-
pudiate the action OF regularly consti.
tuted Republican caucus-of which he
himself was member-and bolt its
nominee.
But, in view of the situation, as changed
by Speaker McMullons vote of to-day,
there are some things which ought to be
said, and propose new to say them.
Prior to the general election of 1892 an
informal and friendly conference was held
between Mt. George v. Massey, the Hon.
Watson r. Sperry. General James H. Will
son and Washington Hastings at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Sperry in this city, At this
conference the last three gentlemen urged
upon Mr.. Massey, by every honorable
argument and consideration at their COM
mand and in their power, to enter actively
into the then impending campaign and
allow his name to BIO presented to the Re-
publican party as a candidate for United
9thteS senator IN opposition 10 senator
George Gray, whose successor was to be
chosen by the Legislature then to be
elected. Mr.. Massey absolutely and posi-
lively declined to comply with this request
Of his friends, and gave what were con-
sidered by all present good and sufficient
reasons for his determination. At the
same time MIR. Massey said, in reply to an
interrogatory by General Wilson, that,
having declined to be a candidate against
Mr.. Gray, he would, under no circum-
stances" allow his name to be used two
years later wiz; at this time) in connec.
ton with the Senatorship against Re-
publican.
MIR. Sperry is in Europe, in impaired
health; General Wilson is absent from
home for an indefinite period; and it
therefore devolves upon ME, as look at
the situation, to thus publicly call upon
Mr.. Massey to say to the Hon. II. II. Nc.
Mullen, the Hon. Ezekiel Fleming, the
Hon. George +, Pierce and the Hon. John
| NJ. c. Moore, and also to the Republican
| party of Delaware that he is not caudi.
date for United States Senator, and that
his name cannot he used in that connec
ton with his consent under any circum
stances" w. HASTINGS.

The Delaware Union for the Public

regulation as will be Of reformatory
character to the unfortunate classes COM
mitted there.
You are no doubt familiar with the fact
that our county prisons are blot upon
the escutcheon OF a civilized State. and
this, together with the testimony from the
United States authorities. who have pro-
nounced them unfit habitations of coniine-
ment for Federal prisoners, is convincing
proof of their unworthiness to exist longer.
EX-Governcr Reynolds who cannot at
this time possibly We suspected of any par
tisan consideration has, in his message to
the Legislature recommended reform of
this nature.
We must work heroically for reform
among mankind if our hopes and prayers
for Il higher kingdom on earth are to be
me- must have that larger significance
which the blessed Jesus undoubtedly in
tended.
Therefore in the face of such evidence,
we earnestly applead to the Christian min
listers of our state to support and cooper
ate i'll this laudable reform wherever il is
possible for them so to do.
The undersigned representative commit
tees further recommend thst you present
| this subject to your parishiOners during
| the last week; or on the last sunday of the
| current month, at such church assemblies
or from your pulpit as suits your con.
| venience.
Let all voices rise in chorus. Let our
! people know ana feel more deeply their
| Responsibility. Let them be aroused to
their highest duty to their wayward
brothers in this, our loved and Christian
land.

An interesting lecture on "Physiog-
nomy' was given at Goldey Business COZ
lege Thursday afternoon. Professor Willis
of New York was the lecturer. He said
that to be true physiognomist one has to
know nature. The scientific meaning of
physiugnomy. however, he said was to
read faces. The different features of the
face were discussed by him. In speaking
of the nose, he said that it was good
thing to have a good handle on the face,
According to his argument, thick lips
showed that the heart qualities we're
dormant, and that there was lack Of re-.
straint. Men whose lips are thin, he sai6
are close-mouthed and can manage larrs
bodies of men. He described the different
kinds of ears. The ears, he said, Indicated
musical ability. The eyes were a reyeIa.
ton of the soul and showed intelligence
and secretiveness. He also spoke briefly
on "Palmistry."
