on the tug for s95 a month. He was
discharged without cause, and Doug

A warrant was sworn out for the
arrest Of Engineer Douglas and Mar

hearing the testimony Commissioner
Smith ordered Douglas to pay Hearn
five days pay. Douglas demurred at

10 CONDEMN RIGHTS OF Way
MOVEMENT TO FORM CONTTNU-

MOVEMENT TO FORM CONTTNU-
Gus TROLLEY LIME FROM HERE
TO PHILADELPHIA.
In Superior Court Saturday afternoon
Willard Salisbury, representing the
Wilmington City Railway Company
filed six applications for the appoint
ment Of commissioners to condemn
rights Of way from this city to the
Pennsylvania State line, at which point
the tracks Of the local company, and
those of the Chester railway will con-
meet. This will form, when completed
a continuous trolley line to Darby at
which place cars will be taken for
Philadelphia. It is proposed to run
cars from Wilmington to Darby with
out change
The Wilmington City Company de-
sires to cross properties of the estate
Of NJ b. Mahoney, Theodore B. StubD,
C. II. Mason, e. p. Williamson, William
V. Bond and Josiah Bacon, in extend-
ing the Gordon Heights railway. The
applications were made under the
charter of the Front and Union Streets
Railway Co, which was granted in
1877, and which authorizes the exten-
sion Of that road to a point six miles
beyond what was then the city limits.
The court deferred action on the mat
ter, but a favorable decision is looked
for and it is believed work on the road
will soon begin.
The advantages Of trolley line be-
tween Wilmington and Philadelphia
are manifest. Cars will be run at fro
quent intervals and the trip will Oe
made quickly and at moderate cost
Passengers will be landed in the busi-
ness portion of Philadelphia without
the payment OF extra car fare which
would be the case were the trip made
otherwise. The scenery en- route il
beautiful, comfortable cars will be run
and everything will tend to make tn'
system thoroughly popular. The CON
struVtlon OF the connecting link-be-
tween Wilmington and the Pennsylva
MIA line-is being universally discussed
and when the line shall be establish
cd, and this win probably be the cas-
at an early day, its successful opera
ton will be assured.

LOOKOUT non srowlAwAYs.

Since the breaking out OF hostilities
between This country and Spain there
has been an unprecedented rush Of
stowaways to this country. Most Of
them tell the same story. There is no
work for them in Europe, and, being
without money to pay their way over
here, they hide away On vessel bound
for this country. They seem TO think
that the fact OF a war between this
country and Spain ought TO give a
great deal Of work to laboring people.
Nearly all when caught want to en-
list, but this is only ruse to remain
in the country. Some Of them. how
ever, are citizens Of America. and ans
allIwed to remain, but all foreigners
ale sent back on the vessels which
b1 ought them over.
AT last forty or fifty stowaways have
been sent back. The authorities a

INSANITY IN ROYAL BLOOD

To the large contingent of lunatics furnished by the reigning families of Europe must now be added the name of the duke of Teck, father of England's future queen. the duchess of York, writes Marquise De Fontenoy in the Washington Post. The duke was sent < a few months ago to Germany in the hope that a change of scene might in some way revive his then waning men, tai faculties. and his relative. the king of Wurtemberg, placeU one of his royal residences at his disposal. But it has been in vain. The duke has returned to England very much worse than he went away. He is reduced to a con- plete state of idiocy. There is hardly the faintest glimmer of intelligence left. and he requires the constant at tendance of three male nurses and of d doctor.
 For the present he is residing at White Lodge. But there is much diff culty about his future. The death of his wife and his consequent termina- tion of the annuity of $25,00O a year from the crown, which she enjoyed as princess of Great Britain, has left her husband absolutely penniless. In 1act every vestlge of property, even her very trinkets and favorite pieces of bric-a-brac have had to be sold in or der to pay her debts, which amounted to a quarter of million of dollars. and now there is nobody who seems to be able or willing to provide for the dukes future.
 His eldest son, Prince Adolphus, is dependent upon the allowance which he receives from his father-in-law, the duke of Westminster, while the duchess of York and her husband experience utmost difficulty in making both ends
