FERRY BOAT IND FREE WHARF

THAT Is A PROJECT NOW CON
TENiPUATED BY WILLIAM w.
LOBDEH1L.
II a certain project, which is now be-
ing considered seriously by William w.
Lobdell, commends itself to his mind
as practicable. Wilmington will have
a regular ferryboat connecting with
Pennsgrove both Summer and Winter
and also free wharf at which all river
steamers may stop and discharge and
take on both passengers and freight.
1t Is proposed by Mr.. Lobdell ane
those associated with him to put on Z
ferry.boat between LoIbdell, canal neal
the mouth OF the Christiana river, and
Pennsgroye. 1t will be modelled aftei
the ferryboats in use in Philadelphia
and other cities, and capable OF carry
ing persons, teams and freight, the
runs being made at short intervals.
In addition to this, a wharf will be
built on the Christiana river front
free to all steamers which will use It,
and especially to those from down the
bay and plying between Odessa
Smyrna, Dover, Milford, Salem and
Bridgeton. "A good wagon road and,
possibly, a trolley line, will connect the
city with the wharf.
Wholesale merchants are being
sounded on the matter, and It Is be-
lieved that it will he a go before an
other season opens.

THE oEEGoNs GREAT VOYAGE.


Key West. May ed-The battle ship ore

ON leaving the Rarhadocs the oregon
sailed almost directly north, going north
OF Porto Rico about ~ miles \ north
rrly course was continued until the Ber-
mudas were reached on the east coast
ot Florida. Captain Clark explains the
reason Tor going to Jupiter Inlet instead
Of putting In at Key West was TO enable
the Oregon to he ready to 20 either 10
Key West or Hampton Roads In short or
der after getting Information from Wash
ngton.
Captain Clark had no offcial knowl-
edge of the situation after leaving Rio
Janeirp on April 30. During the entire trip
the crew eNpecteu momcntarily to meet
the Spanards only once however, was
there a call to arms. This was shortly
after midnight on leaving Rio Jan!ero. As
the Oregon was ploughing through the
sea dark object was discovered ahead.
\ cali 20 quarters was sounded the men
rolled out Of their berths with the en-
thusiasm of boys on a circus day and al
most Instantly every gun was manned,
The oregon left her course and circled
around her black nursuror, only to fnd
It a harmless bark instead OF a Spanish
warshlp
Al Rio J0nclro Captain Clark was told
that the Spanish torpedo boat Temorario
was following him. This added a new in
tcrest to the trip FOR day and night,
hut at the next port Of cali he was in
formed that tho Tcmerario had gone
into a dry dock at Rio Just after the de-
parturc OF the oregon.
The cruise through the Straits ~ Ma
gclan was the most interesting. 1t was
at tho extreme point of the hemisphere
that the crew expected a visit from the
Spaniards, At many places the cham
mel Is very narrow and there are crooked,
hidden bays and covcs back OF them But
the oregon did not lag. Captain Clark
had no idea OF giving the Spanlards II
they were there, chance to catch him
