The Action BrOnsht at Dover Against the
Delaware Electric hallway CO.
Dover, Nov. l5. Tho quo warranto
proceedings against tho Delaware
Electric Railway Co. were renewed in
the Kent county court yesterday.
Messrs. Higgins and Hilles, counsel
for tho defence, withdrew fouf of tho
pleas, and amended the remaining plea,
after which Henry Ridgely, Jr,, repro
senting the State, filed demurror.
The plea alleged that the Delaware
Electric Railway Co sprang from d
merger Of two companies, the Dover a.
Milford and the Dover & Bayshore,
which owed their existence to special
Legislative charters, and by virtue Of
tho powers OF their charters they con-
solidated November 9th, 1897, forming
the Delaware Electric Railway Go.
The demurrer said the plea did not set
forth all that was necessary, and that
the two old companies had no right to
merge and, therefore, the Delaware
Electric Railway Go. was illegal.
Argument followed, the defence teing
heard until 6 p. NJ. An evening session
was held, when Mr.. Ridgely, who was
assisted by W. Watson Harrington, was
