COURT OF CHANCERY.
Today VIII See the Finish Of tie
Railway Injunction
(aaa

In opposition to the injunction pro.
teedlnga against the Brandywne Springs
Railway Company, Attorney William
). Ililles, as counsel for the defendant
company, began his argument in reply
70 Mr.. Salisbury, for tue Wilmington
City Railway, yesterday morning Mr..
Hilles made good argument in his en-
deavor to convince Chancellor Nicholson
that it was not only for the public good
Of Wilmington To have the Brandywine
road lay its tracks and run its cars on
Sixth street, but that the defendant
company had the legal and legislative
right to the use Of the thoroughiare.
Mr.. Iiiles contended that the I.egis-
lature OF 1864 did not grantthe Whining
ton City Railway exclusive rights to use
the city streets for trolley traffic, but
the line from the r., w. 4 b. station BY
Front, Market, Tenth and Delaware
avenue TO Clayton street. That even II
the Legislature had contemplated such
exclusive right, that such right only re.
lated to horse or steam power, as elec-
trio power was not known in railway
motive power in 1864.
Ii was about ij o'clock yesterday
afternoon when Mr.. Hilles concluded
his argument and the Court was ad.
iourned until this morning at 10 o'clock,
when Mr.. Salisbury will reply to Mr.,
Hilles. Benjamin F. Neilds, in behalf
OF the Brandywine Springs Company
will follow Mr. Salisbury, after which i
Is in the hands OF the Chancellor, and
Ills decision will be awaited with con
siderable interest. As lie has promised
10 make speedy disposition Of the case
his decision will probably be rendered
within two weeks from today.

POPULTSTS WILL
 GO TO SIOUX FALLS
National Convention to be Held
 on May 9.
WANT BRYAN AND CAL DWELL
Senator Allen Said That Caldwell Would be Acceptable to the Democrats-Chairm But
 Ter Has No Regrets

Lincoln Neb., February 9O.-The national convention of the populist party will be held in Sioux Falls, s. D., on May 3. Rep resentation is based on the vote of General J. B. Weaver for president in 1892 or if any candidate for state office has since polled larger vote, that vote shall be the basis. Two delegates at large are given each state. This was the decision reached in a somewhat extended, but harmonious, meeting of the fusion wing of the national committee, which concluded shortly after 1 o'clock this afternoon.
 The feature of the meeting was the una nmity with which the members accepted and endorsed the declaration of Senator Allen, of Nebraska, that William J. Bryan would be the candidate of both the popu- list and democratic parties, and coupling with his name that of Judge Henry Cald- well, of Arkansas. as the logical and most promising vice president possible.
 Senator Allen went so far as to say that he had positive knowledge that if Judge Caldwell was nominated by the populists, as Bryan's running mate, he would be ac ceptable to the democrats, and the fusion national ticket would be Bryan and Cald- we'll.
 A proposition from the Texas delegation that May be fixed upon as the date was amended to permit a committee to decide as to both time and place.
 Vigorous Opposition
 The amendment was opposed vigorously

 Senator Allen, of Nebraska, spoke at length in favor of harmony, and for the naming of date by the whole committee.
 Bryan will be the nominee of both dem- oerats and populists," said Senator Allen. land the question of date makes little diff ference anyhow"
 The amendment to refer to a committee was voted down and Wednesday, May 9, the same date as that of the middle-of-the- road convention at Cincinnati was decided upon
 Kansas City, Sioux Falls and Indianapo- lis presented claims for the convention and each was granted time to set forth Its re- spective advantages.
 When the committee reconvened Sioux Falls, s. D., was selected for the meeting place for the next populist national con vention.
 Chairman Butler, in statement to the Associated Press at the conclusion of the meeting, said he had no regrets for his de- cisions of yesterday which led to the bolt of the middle-of-the-road men.
 "It was a bolt here or at the convention" said Senator Butler, land we prefer the disturbers should show their hands earlier in the fight than at later date"
