RAILROAD COMBINE.
May Consolidate Several Lines With the
Delaware COMPANY.

At the annual meeting of the stockhold-
er4 of the Delaware Railroad Company, a
proposition to consolidate the Delaware
and Chesapeake railway, the Cambridge
and Seaford railroad and the Queen Anne's
and Kent railroad with the Delaware rail
road, will be submitted for consideration
and action. All the railroads virtually
are controlled by the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, and it is thought the plan
is to consolidate the smaller lines with the
Delaware railroad and provide one manage
ment for the combined system.
The forty seventh annual meeting of the
Delaware railroad stockholders has been
called by Manlove Hayes, secretary, to be
held in Dover, on January L. next when
directors and a treasurer to serve the en-
suing year, will be elected, and the con-
solidaton proposition will be submitted.
The directors of the various railroads
named have formulated an agreement for
the consolidation of the Queen Anne and
Kent railroad, the Cambridge and Seatord
railroad and the Delaware and Chesapeake
railway with the Delaware railroad but
the conditions OF the agreement are not
known.
The Pennsylvania company operates the
various railroads enumerated, but each has
its distinct board of directors, and promi-
nent railroad man said that he thought if
the roads are consolidated there will be
but one governing body for the united
system.
The Queen Anne and Kent railroad ex-
tends from Townsend to Centrevile, dis
tauce of thirty-fve miles, while the Cam
bridge and Seaford railroad connects the
towns bearing it's name. This division is
thirty-three miles long. The Delaware
and Chesapeake railway branches from
Clayton and extends distance of tifty-
four miles to Oxford, Md, while the Della
ware railroad extends from Wilmington to
Delmar.

1t has been held that consumption is
hereditary, and the fact that one person of
a family had died with consumption was
considered sure sign that others of that
family could not escape it. This is partly
true and partly untrue. A man with weak

to his children. But there is no reason in
the world why the weakness should be al

An official order was issue to-day
detaching Captain Chester, commander
OF the Cincinnati, from the South At
antic squadron. The effect of this is
to remove the Cincinnati from the
South Atlantic service n make her
available for the NORTH Atlantic sta

a valuable adjunct to quick maneuvers

Schley's orders make him commander
of a distinct squadron so that the ships

dent. as the North Atlantic vessels
have been intact heretofore.
