Special Correspondence Evening Journal.
Milford, April l7.-How the people
of this pretty town would cherish a
trolley systeml 1t would be received
as the great athletic heroes were In an
cient times, when the great gladiator
approached the arena of the coliseum
OF Rome to kill some beast of prey.
The Milford readers will keep their OPP
ties on the Evening Journal and see
this beautiful drama reproduced. The
first plan in the plot is to get a charter
This pretty little state will represent
the arena of the coliseum, where this
wonderful beast Is to be slain. The
Il Delaware railroad is the beast that fOI
so many years has been devouring the
profits Of the farmers and merchants
Then comes this gladiator in the
form of a large and commodicus troll
ley ear. Then the clapping of hands
and playing OF bands will be hearc
and now he has made this monstrous
beast bow its head Now It has to talk,
back seat and partially yield to q
younger but stronger enterprise.
Everyone in this town is in favor oi
the trolley. They think as all othei
Z persons with common sense, that i
would be a grand thing, and the sooner
this great gladiator has the right ts
come into this state to slay the mon
ster monopoly the better it will be To-
the people who now suffer from its eX
