OPENING lip A TOWN.
How Milton Welcomed, the First Train on
tho New Quern Anue's Railroad,

How Milton Welcomed the First Train on
tho New Quern Anne's Railroad.
Until few weeks ago there was
probably no town in Delaware go com.
pietely isolated from the outside world
as the little town of Milton in Sussex
county. Ellendale, seven miles away,
was ths nearest village and also the
closest railroad station. Milton could
not even boast of d telephone. hut it
did pride itself upon having two mails
a day; aud there was much TO be
thankful for in that.
But all this is different now. The
new Queen Anne's railroad opened up
the advantages of the outsids world to
Milton and the advantages OF Milton
TO the outside world, as well, few
weeks ago, The first regular passenger
train to enter tine town pulled in one
Sunday, and without exaegeration il IS
safe to say that four-iifths OF the popu-
lation OF Milton were out to meet il.
There were young and old, black aud
white, but whatever differences there
may have been in the make-up of the
crowd their object 10 coming was the
same. The railroad company had an
nounced special excursion to Queens
town, the terminus of the road, and
the round fare for the trip was but GO
cents. Everybody went that day.
There was no platform or station con-
veniences, and when the train came to
standstill the car steps were con,
siderable distance from the ground ;
but this mattered not to the crowd
They climbed into the cars, young and
old alike, as If their very lives depended
upon them getting the first seats. 10
an incredibly short tins the cars were
slled, the aisles were crowded and pas
sengers hung on the platforms where
yer they could get fuothold. There
we're four cars and it was tho same u
each one.
The passengers paid their fare on tho
train, the excursion was success and
Milton was opened TO the outer world
1t was a big time in the old town that
