THE DELAWARE SITUATION.
J. Park Postles Of Delaware arrived
today. He says that the situation in
Delaware depends upon the success Of
a contemplated arrangement between
the Higgins and Addicks factions as to
the electoral ticket. With unity Of the
Republicans, he says, the ticket to be
nominated at Indianapolis would poll
enough votes to give the state to Nc
Kinley. Unless the Republican diff
Guilty is adjusted, the Republicans will
be more hopelessly divided than are
the Democrats. He says that an ad-
justment is possible on the electoral
ticket but not On other features of the

Electric Consolidation.

The Caledonia Electric Light & Power
Co., has purchased the entire plant of the
Owosso Electric Co., and will move the
whole outfit to the plant now owned and
operated by it. Work was commenced
Monday on new building 45x50 feet in
size, just north Of the present building, in
which the two engines and the dynamos of
the old Owosso Electric Co. will be set up.
BY this arrangement the lighting plant and
the power plant will be entirely separate,
the engines of the old company being used
for furnishing light and the two engines
now in use at the power house, still furnish
ing the current for power purposes. This
will guard against the irregularity in the
lights, which would result If the lighting
were done by the same dynamo or engine
which ran the street car motors and at the
same time both the lighting and power
plants will be in duplicate. A large arch
way will be cut out from the north wall of
the present building, and will connect it
with the new one. When the machinery is
set up in the new position 1t will be In diff
ferent shape from what 1t is In its present
location, as the engines and dynamos will
be on the same level, while the main shaft
and condensers will be considerably lower.
The additional boilers will be set up in the
part of the building now used as car barn,
which will bring them conveniently near
the ones now in use there, while new car
barn will be erected. The consolidation,
when completed will make one of the best
equipped and largest electric light plants in
central Michigan.
President l. ID. FL. Ralph has shown
great energy and enterprise in building up
first class plant with every convenience
and ample power, and is to be congratulate
ed on his present move which will mean
continued good service. On the other hand
the Travis brothers have given good service
and have made many friends in Owosso who
will be very sorry to see them leave the
city after doing business here so long and so
successfully.

Gentlemen; | thank you for copy of
your report which have had the honor
to receive. | feel great interest in the ad
vance OF the railroad system in my native
State, and especially as it so happened
that | aided in obtaining from the Legis
laturc the charter Of the first railroad of
Importance that has been constructed
within its limits. This was in 1887. In
1886 the petitioners for two contestins
fore the Legislature; the "shore line, to
pass through Saco, Biddeford, kcnne-
bunk, and York 20 Portsmouth and the
interior line, " through Gorham, Alfred,
North Berwick, and Berwick to Dover.
In the struggle between them, the latter
prevailed and obtained its charter, under
another name than the Boston 81 Maine.
which it subsequently received But it
did not proceed to build during the year.
When the Legislature assembled the
next year. the petitioners for the shore
line applied to me to assist them, and we
were able to satisfy that honorable body
that. as their contestants had neglected to
do anything under their charter, we were
entitled to have one for the shore line.
We were successful, and the act for the
incorporation of the Portland, Saco, and
Portsmouth Railroad was passed.
A year or two afterwards the company
got an amendment to avoid n mountain
in York in terms so general as to enable
them to avoid Kennebunk and YORK
village aud go SO far west as North Der
wick which was In the line of the other
road. With this l had nothing to do.
Under this charter the p. S. & =. was
constructed prior to any other railroad in
Maine, except the few miles of imperfect
road from Bangor to Old Town.
While battling for this first constructed
important railroad In the State, little
thought that within my life time more
than one thousand six hundred miles of
good. substantial railroad would be in
successful operation within its limits.
The world moves and Maine moves with
it,
Excuse this digression.
Yours very respectfully.
