tive. The description Of the Holy Family
and the explanation of the Fatherhood Of

New Castle is willing to assist the cleo.
tric railway in every possible manner but
the people will not stand to SOC the coun.
Gil and people of the city ruthlessly ig-
nored by the electric railway people about
the new charter. Is it the railway or the
city that is after the charter? If it is the
city then what right had the attorney of
the railway to ignore the action OF council
by placing in the charter the things which
the council cut out?
Such actions are suspicious and the rail-
way people deserve to be watched. The
railway company should also be compell-
cd to pay for the resettlng of the crossing
at Seventh street, for which the city has
been furnished with bill. There has
been considerable talk in New Castle late
ly about trusts and monopolies but il
things continue the city council will have
to consult the electric railway before any
WORK can D5 done i'll the city.
