Never be.

1t is beginning to look as il there
would not be any trolley from this city
10 West Chester, although the prelimi.
nary survey is now being made.
A prominent promoter oi the new line
said TO representative Of The SCS last
night III the farmers ainng the pro.
posed route should decide that they want
fabulous prices for the right of way,
there will not be any trolley line from
Wilmington to West Chester. We do
not intend TO pay fabulous prices for the
right of way. II they show any DISPOSE
tion to help us and are willing
70 take a reasonable sum for the
email amount oi land we require,
then there is no doubt but that
the road vii soon be in course OF con-
struction. In PennaylYaEia you cannot
force farmer, or anyqHe else for that
matter. to sell the sight OF way. You
cannot takehis langfand pay bim what
the couF5\4lows Vile mugt sell Of his
own fee wa or 4 Corporation cannot Sc.
cure the risbt dh way. Tney can even
stop line H railroad or railway
from running On the public road pact
their property
This lookslnot only as il doubt existed
as to whether the road would ever be in
operation ndt very much as ii the much
desired 'Wolley line from this city to
West Chester would never be built.
The farmers along the route are anx-
ious for the line as they realize the good
they will derive from it, not only that
their property vii 90 up in value, but
the convenience and saving in the ex-
pense OF transportation, yet, notTith-
standing this, many Of them have ex-
pressed themselves as not willing to sell
the right Of way for paltry sum. II is
probable that o clasn viii come between
the farmers and the new company and
the road be tied up for an indefnate
time.
The preliminary survey is now being
made to ascertain the possibility OF
building the road. Ii, after the surveyors
have made their report, the company
deem it advisable to drop the matter,
they will not hesitate 10 do so. Ii they
decide to build the road the work OF Sc
curing the right Of way will begin at
once, ano ii no trouble is experienced
in this, actual construction will begin
shortly afterwards and the work pushed
with rapidity to conclusion.

GOVERNMENT LAUNCH
CAPER0N EXPLODED
Captain ClcaYer, his Assistants and
I.assengers scaIded.

While being locked out OF the Della
ware and Chesapeake canal into the
Delaware river about S o'clock Yesterday
morning, the government steam launch
met with disaster. When the Yacht was
il the locks her boiler tube blew out,
probably fatally sealding Captain George
A. Cleaver and engineer John Swan.
Samuel Weaver, assistant engineer, Ser
geant George Weinboldt, L. S. A., and
Mrs. Weinholdt were badly scalded
John Coy, a soldier, was badly scaided,
as was James o. Reilly, Harry Glad
fellow, as we'll as several other persons.
The boat, which is q man-of-war's
launch, belongs to the quartermaster's
department, and is under the care OF
Major Andruss, Z. S. A., commander at
Fort Delaware. 1t is used in transport
ing men betwean Forts Delaware, du
Pont and Mott and Delaware City, and
makes regular trips between Delaware
City and Fo't Delaware, carrying the
workmen and soldiers. IL has been q
great convenience to the workmen at the
fort, some of whom live in Delaware
City.
The portion Of the boat set part for
passengers, in which is also located the
boiler and engine, is covered with heavy
canvas, the only opening being at the
rear.
Ten people we're inside the enclosure,
thus filling up most OF the space, and
when the explosion occurred eli were
enveloped in steam, and as the break in
the tube was issHnediately over the fire
box, hot Goals and ashes were blown out
into the faces OF Capt. Cleaver, Engineer
Swan and Mr.. Weaver. Others were
also burned in the same manner, but
none seriously. Mr.. Downey, the only
person who escaped injury, was sitting
at the opening III the rear and sprang
| outside. Those who could not find their
way to the opening cut their way out
| through the canvas and nearly all either
| fell or jumped overheard. Mrs. Vein
| holdt was one OF those who sprang into
the water. A soldier, who was standing
on the locks, saw her and caught her in
time to save her from drowning. Others
we're rescued in similar manner.
Drs. Bellville, Dunlap and Edmund
son we're summoned and were soon on
the scene. All OF the injured are resi-
dents of Delaware City, except the
soldiers. The Delaware City people were
taken to their homes as quickly as possi.
Bile and the soldiers to the hospital al
Fort Delayare.
Captain Cleaver and Engineer Swan
are the most seriously burned. The ex,
posed flesh oil the two men was literally
covered with ashes and fragments of Goa
and it is not likely that an effort will be
made to clean the ashes and coal off un
\ til the patients are stronger. The in
iuries to the others are not considered
serious, although seyeral are suffering
much pain.
Just what caused the accident Is &
mystery, but it was probably due to 3
defect in the tube which burst, as there
was no more fire than usual under it and
no effort was being made to test the
I boiler.

The crematory committee had found
that five or six bonds of bidders had
been written in the came handwriting,
and there has been considerable specula-
tion as TO who had written them, espec-
tally as some OF the bonds SO written
we're passed by the committee as being
regular and others rejected as being ir-
regular. "Were some OF the bonds made
defective on purpose" was question
frequently asked.

Morrison had written them but he de-
MED it.

Of collecting garbage there is one con-
tlnual light. One has to fight to get
large enough force Of men to collect the
garbage, and after it il collected then one
has to fight to get it burned. On Satur-
days, il one Is not inside the building by
