ABSENT EOR ToRlY-sEvEN YEARS
HIS LEFT WILMINGTON WHEN
TWELVE YEARS OLD AND HAS
NOT BEEN SEEN NOR HEARD
OF sINca UNTIL YESTERDAY

I
After being away from this city for
forty-seven years, John Yearsley. now
living in Ohio, returns and finds rela-
tives whom he has not seen or heard
OF during that time. He was born in
this city, in which he lived until he
was II years Of age, when he went
West. He roamed about the country
for number OF years, until he be-
came engaged in mercantile business,
and finally settled in Cleveland, Ohio
When the call for troops came at the
outbreak Of the war Of the rebellion he
enlisted in the army and served
Throughout the war. When it was over
he returned to Cleveland and resumed
his business there.
When the OHIO posts came East to
the National Encampment OF the Grand
Army in Philadelphia he was with
them. Yesterday he concluded to visit
the place of his birth, thinking to look
up his relatives here. whom he had
not seen for so many years. On his
arrival he registered at the Clayton
House. where he procured a city di-
lrectory. He found the name OF Law
renee. which was his mothers, several
times. and decided to make round of
the houses until he came to the right
family. The first place he went was to
the home OF Josiah V. Lawrence. No.
lGiO West Fourth street, which proved,
by rare good fortune. to be the right
place, as upon investigation Mr..
Yearsley learned that Mr.. Lawrence
was his nephew.
Not knowing hs sisters married
name. he made inquiry for Lydia Law
renee, who is now Mrs Lydia Thomas,
r OF No. III Madison street, widow OF
!. Isaiah Thomas, who was assistant
postmaster here for twenty-nine years.
/, Upon finding her address he went to
p call on her.
When he rang the bell she answered
II in person. but failed to recognize her
, brother, and when he stated who he
o was she became indignant, thinking
+ him an impostor impersonating her
brother, whom she thought dead. Tie
, finally convinced her, however, that he
4 was the man he claimed to be- and she
! was overioyed. Mr.. Yearsley will re-
: main East only a short time.

SALE OF A RAILROAD.
MUCH INTEREST AROUSED BY THE
PURCHASE OF THE 3. c. & A.

PEOPLE ANXIOUsLY ASKING
WHAT THE PENNSYLVANIA
RAILWAY COMPANY WILL DO
WITH THE 130 MILES OF RAIL
ROAD.
Easton, Nd, Sept. S.-The sale Of
the property Of the Baltimore, Chesa-
peake and Atlantic Transportation
Company to the Pennsylvania railroad
causes a great deal Of interest here,
where the plans for building the Balti-
more and Eastern Shore railroad, the
projenitor OF the whole system as since
developed, was formed. The road was
originally officered byhome people who
secured capital enough to build a rail-
road from Claiborne to Salisbury and
buy the Pocomoke and Wicomico
tracks and rolling stock from Sails
bury TO Ocean City and improve the
acquisition.
The plan was to run this cross-cut
road through a fertile and populous
part of the Eastern Shore in connec-
tion with the Annapolis Short Line by a
ferry across the bay from Claiborne to
Bay Ridge. This gave Talbot, Caro-
AAnNf 0OAknEaNIAf OOAllA8IA anu "
comico the shortest route they ever
had to Baltimore, and also to parts oi
Queen Anne and Worcester. Later the
Queen Anne railroad did the same FOL
the upper tier of the Eastern Shore
counties and Delaware.
Business people are anxiously asking
about what the Pennsylvania will dc
with the 13O miles of railroad
whether they will run it, as now, tC
make Eastern Shore markets in Balti.
more, or make a schedule and tariff
that will take it away from Baltimore
for the sake of Philadelphia. The
general effect is regret that this line
has gone to the Pennsylvania.
Those who are so situated that theil
/ freights are water-borne care little
about the deal. There can be no mo
nopOly, they say, of water courses
The Pennsylvania people are negotiat
ing for the Wheeler Line, a Choptanl
and Tuckahoe line.
On the Choptank there comes a new
transportationist. Captain d. S
Brockway, of Greensboro, who Il
equipped with steam transportation ia
| cilities and plenty of nerve.
The report comes from Ocean Cit!
that John Floyd Waggaman is in nego
tiation with the Pennsylvania Railroa,
Company for the sale Of valuable hote
and other properties owned by him a
Ocean City. Mr.. Waggaman was ap
preached to purchase the Baltimore
| chesapeake and Atlantic Railroal
Company before its sale to the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company. He thei
contemplated building an annex to tn
Atlantic Hotel, which he owns, an
which is one of the leading hotels il
Ocean City. This addition would Civ
about $50 extra rooms to the hotel. Tn
annex will not be built il the Pennsyl
vania railroad contemplates divertin
to Philadelphia the travel from Balti
more and Washington to Ocean Cit
which now patronizes this resort. Thi
is said to be likely, as shipments q
freight and passengers to Baltimor
necessitates double handling, as part G
the route is by water-from Claiborn
to Baltimore. Shipments to Philadel
phia may be made direct.
