ABOUT THE
TROLLEY ROADS.

The construction of a trolley road from
Wilmington to West Chester, has been
checked for some time to come, mostly

who purchased the farm Of the late Vim.

holders have given he right OF way, it is

A Plea for SALISBURY,

A Wilmington Democrat sends a
communication to the Dover Della
warcan, advocating the election of
Willard Salisbury to be one OF the
two United States Senators from
Delaware. providing the next Leg
islature is Democratic. The writer
says:
"Mr. Willard Salisbury is re-
gardcd here as natural born
leader. lie is known as an able
manager, and also bitter uncom-
promising Joe Of the Republican
party. lie has on several occa-
sions devised the plans which led
us to victory here. When he goes
into fight he is there 10 stay and
to win. 1t was through his efforts
that bribery was in great meas
ure checked at the elections here
In several campaigns. 1t was his
plan that placarded the city and
county with notices that heavy re-
wards would be paid for all evil
dcnce relating to attempts at brib-
cry or Illegal voting. And also
with printed warnings to illegal
voters whether bribed or otherwise,
that they would be prosecuted TO
the, full extent OF the law. This
had telling effect on the Rcpubli-
can machine plans and we won be-
cause much of the dishonesty
planned was prevented.

MANIAC ON
THE TRAIN.
Causes Panic Among
Passengers and a Wild
Rush to Escape. :

Jersey City, May %. Such avid
run as is read about in story books
was that of a Baltimore and Ohio
express train to-day between West
field and Jersey City. There was
maniac aboard spreading terror
among the trainmen and passen-
gers. AS the train neared West
field at speed of nearly sixty
miles and hour peaceful-looking
man in car well filled with pass
engers suddenly lcaped from his
seat with blood-curding yell and
began dealing blows right and left.
The women screamed and sever
al male passengers tried to over
power him. but he seemed possess
ed of the strength of a wild animal
and his terrific blow convinced
them they had better look to their
own safety.
Both doors 'of the car were i'm
mediately jammed with panic-strick
ed passengers seeking escape to
other parts of the train. That none
was crowded from the platform
seems miracle. All escaped safe
ly though several were bruised in
the crash and two women swooned
from excitement and fright. When
the car was cleared the conductor
and brakeman attempted to quiet
the ravlng passenger. but he made
it so warm for them that they were
glad to retreat. Locking him in
the car they watched him hurl
himself about, smashing windows
and car lamps. People waiting at
stations saw him at work as the
train passed and the excitement
spread along the line. When the
express reached Jersey City at l. 80
this afternoon he was still raging.
The police were summoned and
with the assistance OF railroad en-
ployes overpowered him and lash
ed him to a handcar.

Atlantic City. N. j., May "a. The vot-
ing on the revision Of Church discipline.
now being considered by the Methodist
Protestant Conference, WAS limited to cor.
reoting and editing its phraseology by a
decision of President Stephens, who ruled
that the General Conference could not
alter or amend the code Of laws ard regu-
lations unless the changes were placed in
the form of ovsrtures and sent to the dis
trlct conferences for rejection or approval.
The historical preface was adopted, aud
then followed an avalanche Of amend

The representation in regard TO the in
crease OF the Republican voters in Kent
County cannot lead to tho hope that the
Democrats will be defeated at tho com ing
election in that County. For instance the
Republicans pol!ed 2y0.vOtss In 1898 and
It Is said that they will probably poll 400
next November, We should like anyone
to explain of what practical benefit it will
be to any party, but to the Democrats, to
cast such largo vote as is claimed. The
Republican party IN Kent is too small to
b seriously considered and it Is surprising
that such noise should bo made over its
prospective gains, Surely some men iml.
