THE NEWS OF NEW CASTLE.
NEWS OF THE TROLLEY ROAD.
TROUBLE WITH CHURCH TRUS-

LAY CONSTRUCTION.

I
LAY CONSTRUCTION.
Tt is understood to-day that the dis
agreement between the New Castle
Wilmington Electric Railway Company
and the trustees Of Emmanuel Church
over the half-acre OF ground on the
Glebe farm, TO be occupied by the new
overhead bridge over New Castle cutoff
railroad. viii In no wise interfere with
the husting now being done to COM
plete the new trolley road and have it
In working order by December 1.
The railway company 1t is claimed
recognizing the necessity of every pre-
caution, has already leased for five
years the tract OF land In question, and
work will commence this week on the
new high bridge which has already been
shipped by the Groton Bridge Com
pany, of Groton, N. Y.
The plea that this high bridge will
shut off all the building lots on the
Glebe farm is not entertained with any
weight. as II there are any such things
as building lots there. the electric rail-
way has created them and their value.
Magistrate Janvier has already been
approached by spectators and home
seekers for lots on his farm, but has
had to dismiss them because the city
has not given him their street lines.
One man thus turned away. went up to
the Buttonwoods. and there purchased
enough ground for a cosy home, and
will begin building in March.
Contractor Hugh r. Crilley, who has
all his equipments and materials on
the ground OF the new railway, has
submitted an estimate to the Whining
ton City Railway Company TO build ita
extension from Fourth and Spruce
streets. Wilmington, over Third street
bridge TO Eden Park and there join
the New Castle-Wimington line. Mr
Cnlley will probably be awarded the
contract this week. That extension
and the new bridge is all that now re-
mains OF the railway that connects
New Castle with Wilmington, q tie thai
Will surely be congenial to both cities.
Work has been delayed on the new
| power-houso by the inability Of The
marble works In Wilmington to get cut
/ the stone stills and plates in time. Ow.
| ing to the strain OF large dynamos
within, this will be one Of the most
I substantially-built structures in Della
ware. The walls will be nearly twenty
| inches thick in some places. Had moi
/ the delay of last week occurred. The
\ buildings would have been completed

LOOK TO THE SHADE TREES
Last Summers scourge May Be
Repeated This Spring.
Unless Remedies Are Applied the
Pests May This Year Finish the
Destruction Already Begun.

One of the suggestions of The Times last
summer, which met a very large and sympa-
thetic response from the people of Wash
ington was the league for the protection
or shade trees OF the city.
This suggestion grew out of the cOndi-
ton that, while thousands of the most
valuable trees along the streets and avenues
were dying, and many of which died. there
was at that time no money in the Treasury
that could be applied to their care.
AS result OF this inadequate protection
some of the most beautiful and historic of
the English elms on the White House
grounds died, were cut down and re-
moved. To this succeeded the partial de-
struction of the English elms on the south
side OF Lafayette Square.
The loss or these trees was due to the
elm beetle, which. after ravaging the foreign
trees. attacked the native trees ana stripped
them of their foliage TO such an extent
that long before the fall the trees exhibited
The appearance OF having been frost bitten.
The destruction OF the leaves was so com
plete that it was subject OF regretful
observation among the townSfOlk and Wis
itors TO Washington.
1t was said last year that proper care
ia ken of the trees early in the spring would
have made this visitation impossible.
and that the amount OF money necessary,
for this would be very little. The park
commission gave the matter some attention
last season but the harm was done before
the question was taken up generally; aud
ii was also found that there were no funds
available for immediate use.
There is nothing to show that the same
condition will not exist this year, il the
remedies are not applied in time, whetherby
spraying or other means of preventing the
beetle from getting Judgment in the
trees. The elm trees are already putting
out, and with the approach or the warmer
weather the pest may also be expected

MANDOLIN FOR DECORATION.

points OF good mandolin depend on its

understood that the numerous inlays are
not for decoration merely. These sections

for over tweuty-three years, is the bene-

that doctors had given up in despair.
Mrs. Haslam is the daughter of Sergt.
Egbert T. Read. of the Invent y-second dis

the formation OF her backbone had been an
unnatural curve. When child the best
appliances known to medical science were
used to effect Ii cure, and a small fortune
was spent in braces, steel bands. plaster of
paris casts and jackets, without avail. The
father. Scrgt- Read, took her to the jefferson
Hospital some years ago. and consulted
eminent specialists, but all of the doctors
agreed that the disease, or deformity, was
OF permanent nature. and the malforma-

rather prolonged trip. They are
people who do not spend their money
lavishly, except in charity, yet they have
plenty to spend, and they do not stint them
selves.
They sailed the last of April and were
gone until about the middle OF September,
during that time travelling through sev-
eral countries aud seeing whatever APP
pealed to their very cultivated and refined
curiosity. And the whole expedition, aside
from what they brought home with them,
cost exactly S43o apiece. That, certainly,
was reducing travelling to a science, ard
yet neither one had Travelled great deal
before.
