STEAMSHIP PLANEFIELD
ENCOUNTERED BIG STORM

According to the ships log Of the
British steamer Planefield, which has
just finished discharging a cargo OF
nitrate at Pigeon Point. the vessel re
ceived a terrible bufieting on the high
seas by the hurricane which destroy
ed Galveston. II was one Of the most
thrilling trips ever made by Captain
Wilson Curtis. the commander of the
P.hnefeld, and his entries in the log
during the terrible storm are made in
red ink
The captain and crew are somewhat
surprised that they are now alive, and
that their ship is afloat, so fierce was
the storm. The Planefield had a fair
voyage to St. Lucia in the West Indies,
where she put in for coal. She left
there on September u. and the storm
which wrecked Galveston a few days
before broke upon the ship with all
fury.

About the Farmers

A .representative for the Evening

his office this morning and called his
attention to the attack made upon him
by Walter Norris OF Dover, in relation
to the taxation of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company in pamphlet
printed in Dover, extracts from which
were published in the Evening Journal
of yesterday. Mr.. Bird was asked
about the matter. to which he replied;
Il rarely reply to any attack made
upon me in the newspapers. The
pamphlet seems to have been princi-
pally for my benefit. Lest there should
be any misunderstanding with the peO-
pie not familiar with the d. & .. tax,
you may say the different Legislatures
have uniformly reduced the Baltimore
land Ohio tax. No just person can ar

was no express provision in the gen
eral incorporation act authorizing |
street railways incorporated thrcur- /
dor to ay their tracks in the streets |
or highways of a city, although 1t did
provide that they might be laid along |
or across.
The Peoples Company contended !
that the act expressly authorized the
construction and operation Of rail-
way from one point to another peint
and IL was further cOntended that this
necessarily granted the power to oper-
ate the road between those points. Mr..
Salisbury held that while it author
lied the construction Of a railway be-
tween points. those points were cities
and railways might be built only to the
boundaries. and did not authorize tho
construction Of a line within the boun
daries. On May 10, the Peoples Rail
way had obtained permission from the
Street and Sewer Department to lay It's
tracks on various streets, including
Sixth street.
COURT us CONGRATULATED.
Many members OF the bar heard the
reading OF the opinion OF the court
Willard Salisbury, solicitor for tba
complainant. and BENZ jamin Nields ana
/ William S. Hilles, solicitors for the rc-
spOndent, occupied chairs near the
bench and listened attentively 10
every word of the opinion Richard W.
Crook genral manager Peoples rail-
way was also present. When the
chancellor decided the case Mr. Nields
congratulated him. Subsequently CON
gratulations were poured upon the law
yers for the Peoples Company Every
where Il was agreed that the opinion
was a proper one on the law invoked
in the case.
i Willard Salisbury, counsel for thu
complainant. is not satisfied with thu
opinion OF the court. He win in All
probability make an appeal to the SIP
preme Court OF the state. but this was
not done. 1t is his only move az this
time in defense of the Wilmington
City Railway Company
TO BUILD THE ROAD.
Messrs. Hilles and Nields told re-
porter for the Evening Journal that the
Peoples Railway Company would inn
mediately begin the construction OF
the road. Although Mr.. Salisbury
may appeal from the opinion OF the
chancellor, there now is no barrier to
prevent the construction and operation
OF the new line" they said.
Mr. Crook also said the work on the
railway would be begun Immediately.
WHAT THE DECISION MEANS.
II The opinion Of the chancellor means
that the streets OF the city can be used
by other railway companies than the
II Wilmington City Railway Company,
u providing the Board Of Directors of
N the Street and Sewer Department
grants the use of the streets to such
u companies.
II Therefore. the Peoples Railway Com
} pany will build a line from The city
] limits along Sixth street to Walnut.
VI thence to the r.. w. & b. depot. and
J and Will carry passengers from The do-
} pot to Brandywine Springs for Cne
