road Passes Into Other Hands.
Shares Purchased.

The rumors of the past two weeks rela-
tive to the purchase of the controlling in
tcrest in the stock of the Wilmington &
Northern Railroad, held by Colonel II.
A. du Pont, of Wilmington, and his
friends, and which was generally ascrib-
ed to the new interests in the Baltimore
4 Ohio, were finally set at rest Wednes-
day by the announcement from the
Reading offices, late in the afternoon,
that the Reading Company had become
the owner and possessor of Colonel du
Points stock and that of his friends.
The Wilmington & Northern was
originally the Wilmington 4 Reading
Railroad. After the foreclosure of the
latter company's first mortgage, together
with that Of the Berks County Railroad,
which had been organized in the interest
of the Wilmington & Reading, a reorgani-
zation was effected on January IS, 1877,
under the name and title OF the present
corporation.
At the same time traffic arrangement
was entered into with the old Phiadel-
phia Il Reading Railroad, by which the
two roads practically became parts Of
the same system. The Wilmington &
Northern, whose nothern terminus is at
Highs Cut, few miles below Reading,
secured an entrance into that city over
the tracks of the Philadelphia K Read
ing .. .. of
The purchase by the Reading Com.
pany OF a controlling interest in the
stock OF the company will not, there
fore, effect any material change in the
railroad situation, but by the acquisition
Of this property, the Reading Company
obtains fuller and freer control of TIE
line and will be enabled to operate it to
greater advantage in connection with its
own system and give greater facilities to
the business interests along the line. The
Wilmington q Northern has valuable
terminals in Wilmington. including a
large water front and wharves on the
Delaware river, few miles below that
city. The Reading Company will not
take physical possesson Of the property
for some weeks yet, and it is stated that
for the present no changes would be
made in tile officers or employees.
Just how many Of the 25 sci shares Of
the capital stock of the Wilmington &
Northern Railroad the Reading Com
pany was obliged to purchase, could not
be ascertained, but it is, generally sup
posed that fully $4,000, and possibly
more, shares we're secured, as 1t is known
that beside looking after his own inter
rsts, Colonel du Pont was loyal to those
# his friends who have supported him
IN thu management Of the road. The
price paid is suppOsed to have been in
he nelghborhood OF $40 per share.

later opened five rooms for the benefit
Of the pupils and then quietly rested on
their newly won laurels (?) by doing
nothing.
Since then parents have applied to the
Board OF Education, time and again, for
the admittance Of their offspring to the
schools but they were invariably in
formed that there was no room.
If this is the case, and there is no
doubt that it is, the members composing
the educational body which represents
Wilmington should make room.
They are not supposed to stand around
quietly and do nothing while the chill
dren roam the streets and eventually get
in company that will lead them to the
path of vice. But their duty, plainly
speaking, is to secure rooms anywhere,
under the existing circumstances, and moi
let it be said that they, the members
of the board, would rather stand by and
see children reared in ignorance, lnsteac
of being given an education that viii
make them good and honest citizens.
The duty of the Board OF Education IL
too clear, perhaps, for the members tt
see at present, but their work is marked
out and they should give it their immedl
ate attention.
Don't leave children live to curse tb'
day they were born, which they will
should you fail to provide the prope
educational facilities, gentlemen OF the
Board of Education, but bestlr your

WILMINGTON harbor will soon be i'm.

awarded by the Chief of Engineers at
Washington.
The work will be pushed to an early
completion, and within few months
the Christana river will be so improved
that the city will have one OF the finest
river fronts, for its size, in the United
States.
This can only have one result, and that
is that more trade will flock to our har-
Dor and additional facilities be given the
various industries along the river front,
thus allowing them to compete with
foreign firms having a similar business.

THE Erery Euening has yet to learn
many lessons.
Among the first is, that journalism and
the publication of newspaper carry
with them grave responsibilities.
So far Samuel Bancroft, as identified
with the paper he publishes, has given
strict attention to the "plain issue" OF
welching on the responsibility end of the
proposition.
With the utmost disregard of personal
rights of anybody and everybody, this
man makes the gravest and most serious
criminal charges against the Levy Court
When called upon to produce the proof
upon which he bases his charges he
welches.
He claims that he knows all about the
crime for which two men are serving
sentences in Trenton penitentiary, and
for which Senator Richard Rollins Ken
ney is undergoing Indictment before the
Federal Court. He lacked the moral
courage and the honesty to print the
news.
He insults the people Of the State by
saying that the people of Kent county
knew all about the steal which resulted
in the seating of Legislature which had
no legal right to make laws. Not salts
fed with this, he further insults them
by saying they endorsed it.
Such men as this are responsible ior a
great portion of the political rottenness
which makes Delaware byword and a
reproach.
Crimes are not only hidden, they are
encouraged and winked at, by this publ
cation called newspaper.
And yet, the man who dictates the
policy of the Erery Erening claims to be
an honest man.

Good Morning.

WHEN the great Washington monu-
ment was unveiled in Philadelphia, the
New York newspapers mentioned the
fact that it avas unveiled. This is true of
newspapers Of the country. A great
howl went up from Philadelphia and all
Philadelphians were led to believe, by
the local press, that they had been badly
treated. As matter of fact, the historic
event was ignored, for the sole reason
that the visiting newspaper men were
treated in the most shameful fashion by
the managers Of the affair, and very
properly treated the event with con-
tempt.
Philadelphia is on the eve of second
national event-the Peace Jubilee. The
newspaper men of the country are
again to be subjected to this same
disgraceful treatment at the hands
of the managers of the affair." and
again will the world be informed that
philadelphia had Peace Jubilee yes
terday," or words to that effect
This is outrageous.
Mayor Warwick and the Secretary OF
the City Editors Association can issue
proper credentials to all visiting news
paper men without serious cost to any
body. This can be done at once and
should be. The regulation police cards
will answer every legitimate purpose, and
if no other courteses can be extended
visiting newspaper men they can at
least be armed with credentials that will
permit them to do their work under the
same conditions as those engaged by the
representatives of the Philadelphia news.

DrietOr of The Sun.

DOVER, Oct. 19.-Clement H. Congdon,
publisher OF the Wilmington SUN. came
to Dover to-day and gave himself up to
Sheriff Shaw for trial upon five counts
for malicious criminal libel against
United States Senator Richard r. Ken.
ney. The indictments were found
against Congdon at last term OF court,
when he was out of the State. Sheriff
Shaw, meantime, had been telegraphed
for and he left Dover not knowing what
was wanted, but brought back SIC, ,OOO
bond, signed by j. Edward Addicks.
Mr.. Congdon appeared at the county
building today and gave bond, with Mr..
Addicks as surety. At the same time ne
made inquiry whether the cases would
actually be brought up next week at the
opening of the Criminal Court.
Mr.. Congdon, when told that the
case would be taken up next week, in
formed the Sheriff and a reporter that he
was anxious to know, because he in
tended to go to little expense to defend
himself and didn't want to have lawyers
here to send back home. He then en-.
tered these names Of lawyers, who will
defend the cases: DE Lancey Nicoll, OF
New York; District Attorney George >.
Graham, of Philadelphia; Norris 5.
Barratt, Assistant City Solicitor of Phila.

Clement G. Congdon, of the Whining

and the air is full of rumors as to the
cause of his visit to this town. De-
lancev Nichol of New York, ,and District

have been retained to defend COngdon

DOVER, Oct. 2O.-Clement H. Congdon,

charged by Senator Kenney with crimi

bonded in the sum of SIC, 900 for bis ap-
pearance for trial next week. J. Edward

is stated that Messrs. Smither and Bar
RAFT will defend Eli M. Shilling, charged
by John +. SALISBURY with criminal
libel.-Erery Erening.
The trial of the Democratic editor of
THE Sun, charged by Senator Kenney
with libel, will take place in Dover next
week. Mr. Congdon was required to
furnish $4,000 bond for his appearance,
which bond was signed by Mr.. Addicks.
1t was only another case of excessive
bail. The propects are that Congdon
would have just as readily appeared, if
he had been required to give 81 bail. He
has shown his willingness to be on hand
and meet the charges, with one of the
brightest and most brilliant array of
legal talent ever assembled at any trial
in the State. We are willing to wait and
see what the jury thinks Of the charge
preferred and how they will treat men
who are not Delawareans within our
borders. .--RepuJ'ican.

Correspondence of The Call.

few hours after the vote was taken on the resolution in Washington, and be- fore President Mckinley had added his official signature to the document so that the news taken by the vessel was not such that could be taken official cognizance of. The news, however. was such that the people Of Hawaii had been anxiously waiting for-some hoping, even in the face of almost pos- itive assurance, that the American Senate would refuse to extend Ameri- can territory beyond the shores of the continent, and that the Hawaiians would be left to govern themselves. Arrangements had been made with tha cfsIsl1ists1sfs ef- all af tE.e stsaui.s4s re ing between Aslerican ports anG Lono- lulu to signal the news by lights at night or by flags by day, when coming Into the Hawaiian port and carrying the news of annexation.
 To the Coptic fell the lot of taking the news of joy to many and of sorrow to others. About noon on July 13 the verdant shores of the island of Oahu were sighted from the vessel and the order was passed from the bridge to prepare the signal flags and the ships bunting for dressing the vessel accord ing to the arranged signal. Diamond Head was far in the distance when the signals went to the mastheads; then the glasses were turned in the direc- tion of the signal station far up on the steep side of the volcanic mountain. Presently there came the f1utter of an answering signal and few minutes more all Honolulu knew the news that for months had been anxiously waited for, though the steamer that carried it was far out at sea.
 Diamond Head was scarcely abreast when the United States monitor Mo- nadnock and her consort, the collier Nero, came steaming out of the harbor of Honolulu, bound for Manila. They headed for the incoming steamer and signaled for news. A boat was low cred from the monitor and some files of papers were given to the officer who boarded the Coptic. That officer took back to the fighting ship and the col Her the news of Schley's victory, as we'll as the news of the annexation of the islands.
 There were rounds of cheers from each of Uncle Sams vessels when the Monadnock's boat pulled back and carried the tidings to their crews.
 The big steamer had hardly turned into the narrow channel through the coral reef that leads into the harbor of Honolulu when the launch of the gun boat Mohican steamed alongside and asked for the news. It was freely given. and in a twinkling one of the small crafts crew was energeticalN
