WISE PREDICTION.

Perry Belmont must be gifted with
occult powers. Four days before
Bryan declared for Mark Hanna he
said that the expulsion of Richard
Croker and William J. Bryan from
control of the democratic party is
necessary if the democracy is to sue
coed. Mr. Belmont was asked for
news of the movement to reform New
York, and said:
There is a radical difference be-
tween the vast majority of those vot.
ing the democratic ticket and those
who have captured the democratic or.
ganization and perverted it to their
improper and selfish uses in the ma
ton. state and city. If Mr.. Bryan
and Croker are not expelled from con
troll they will destroy all advantage
to the democrats arising out of the
new insular question, precipitated by
the recent conflicting opinions of the
supreme court justices.

Judge Chester of New York, who has

and Move Its Electric Plant to Tidewater
The announcement was made recently
that the Wilmington City Railway Go. pro-
posed to double the capacity of it's power
plant. The machinery has been ordered
and it is to be installed during the spring.
This company has now decided to move its
plant to tidewater and will select location
which will also afford railroad facilities, so
that coal and other freight can be run into
its yards. This will necessitate the erection
of ain entirely new powerhouse, which will
be about twice as large as the one now in
use at Delaware avenue and du Pont street.
The plant will be erected on the Brandy
wine. between Market and Eleventh street
bridges, most likely on the north side. The
details will be arranged in few days and
as soon as arrangements can be made plans
will be gotten out for the building.
The plans have been completed for the
special work. on Washington street bridge
for the Boulevard route and In a short
tina bids will be asked for doing the work.
The railway on the Boulevard will be built
by the company.
When the present powerhouse is vacated
the buildings will in all probability be con-
verified into car barns. which will afford
