years broke out in tie engine room OF inc

and were soon at work playing water on
the flames which lit up the heavens with
lurid glare that could be seen from New

more than in hour before they had tho
grim des roger under their control.
In the round house were four engines
| two of which were gotten out whiie INC
others were destroyed. Several bo1 ana

first discovered in small oil closet until
the whole building was in blaze. ne IRE
burned 1iercely, and for While inc heaV

that RAILWAY
FRANCHISE.
j. B. McCOmbs Puts Him
self on Record Against
MOnOp0lies.

There has developed u decided opposi-
ton to the construction Of the New Castle
and Delaware City Itcilway along the
public roads connecting the cities, and un.
less the company determines to use pri-
vate property the probability Is that
the road will not be built.
William s. Hilles appeared before the
court this morning and entered formal
protest against the construction of the
road on the plan as laid down by the COM
pany.
He held that the railway would DO to
the detrlinent OF not only the property
owners along the road but 10. this people
who will have occasion to Uss the thorough
fare because Of the width of the road
In many places not exceeding twenty
four feet. 10 lay railway truck along
such road and benefit this travelling pub
lie would be o physical impOslbllty.
Mr. 1lilles presented petitions signed by
the road commissioners and many proper.
ty owners OF New Castle and Rod Lion
Hundreds protesting against tho use ofsthc
road. Mr. Hilles said tho people signed
the petition because they were opposed to
the corporation enjoying privileges which
the road but when 1t came to:excludiug the
public from the use of the highway 60
that the company ould cons ruc5 its line
at L. small cost they were opposed to the
project
Mr.. Hilles said the granting OF the de-
sired privilege to tie company would be
an outrage to the people who bay for the
road. Not one foot Of the road should DO
taken from them, and II the court allowed
the Company to usurp the rights OF the
property holders lie would take loyal steps
to prevent the Company from laying the
track.
lie closed his remarks by declaring that
tho court had no right to grant an exclu-
slve. privileged much loss allow n corpor-
alton TO profit by a franchise bought by
the people and made possible by them.
Of Delaware City, opposed Mr.. Hilles Pc
titioD, saying that the petition represented
as coming from property owners in that
section was signed by but one property
owner along the proposed route Of
the railway. He said the people wantad
the road, and were satisfied to sacrifice
some little inconvenience for 1t.
Ex- Speaker Of the House Theodore Il.
Clark and d. B. Rogers spoke in IA
while Alber6 Davidson, d road commits
sioner of Mill Creek hundred aud JameA
McComb, large property owner alonf
the road protested against tho use Of tho
road by tho company.
Mr.. McComb's protestation was rather
severe, he contending that the railway
companies were big set of thieves
They enjoy franchises at the cost OF the
people. Thoy never pay for what they got,
and would bottle the air ana make lis pay
for it. am opposed to this road usurping
the rights of the people. Let 1t bo under
stood, gen;l,men, that am not opposed
to corporations.
am opposed to monopoly" His re-
marks were cheered.
Mr.. White was tho only member OF the
court who spoke, and be expressed him
sci! as satisfied that tho court could not
grant the railway company the desired
privilege; finally thu court vii! act y the
matter next week.
