DOVER, Jan. 20 -Ex Mayor Austin
Harrington was in Dover again yester
day. He wants to be counsel for the
House and thought he had everything
fixed, but Joseph L Cahall. of George
town, Representative Moore's law partner,
is also in the field, and 1t looks very
much like another deadlock.
Railway War in Sight.
Richard W. Crook, the indefatiRable
and ubiquitous promoter OF the Will
mington and Brandywine Springs Rail
way Company. was In Dover yesterday In
behalf OF that enterprise. He secured a
charter two years ago, but 1t was not to
his liking, although the best he could get
He brought with him a supplement and
put 1t In the hands of Senator Pyle for
introduction
This supplement gives the company
power to extend its line beyond Brandy
wine Springs TO any point within Mil
Creek, ChristisnR or White Clay Creek
hundred. and to build branches to any
other points not on the main line.
The second section gives 1t the right to
extend it's lines into and through the
city Of Wilmington, on any street or
streets upon which it may be authorized
TO build and operate its railway by the
authorities having control Of the streets
Of the city. The time for the compile
tlon and operation Of the road Is ex-
tended for the period of two years. The
overhead bridge feature of the old
charter is stricken out, and the com.
pany is allowed to merge or consolidate
with any other company, and the con-
solidsted company is given power tc
build all necessary connections.
This will lead to big hght. Certain
senators " III insist on overhead bridges
and the WILMINGTON City Railway
Company, which claims the exclusive
privilege of operating In Wilmington
will do everything In its power to keel
1t beyond the corporate limits Of th'
municipality.
