NEW PASSENGER SERVICE.
A Great Improvement on the Newark
Pomeroy Railroad.

Pomeroy Railroad.
Patrons of the Newark & Pomeroy
railroad are rejoicing Ia the possession
OF a new passenger train which is all
their own. For years they had only a
mixed train. which carried freight and
passengers, and ran when the crew
could make 1t go. after the business at
the station was finished Sometimes il
was as much as two hours late, fact,
however, which made little difference
because travel was light and freights
heavy.
At present there is new passenger
train which runs OF schedule time,
and makes connections nicely. Con-
ductor Amos Osborne, who has been
in the service 81 years, takes up the
tickets, one son is baggagemaster and
another son is fireman.

1t is alleged that flocks of wild
ducks in the Choptank are being shot
into at night and with very large guns.
The attention OF the game wardens has
been called to the matter and an IN
vestigation is being made. In the
lower part of the river, down near its
mouth, there is excellent feeding this
winter and open water, so that there
are more and larger fiocks than usual.
So IL is in lower Miles River and the
Eastern Bay. 1t is reported that more
than one bugeye load of wild ducks
killed at night by lights and big guns
have been taken to Baltimore and
Annapolis within the last 10 days.

A BOOM FOR THE EAST SIDE.

Contemplated Removal of the Railroad
Shops to Todd's Cut-Troiley Line on
yandever Avenue.
Owners of real estate in that part of
Wilmington over Eleventh street bridge
will be glad to hear that the future Of
that locality is assured. For number
Of years past that section has been
considered not only lad nsighhor-
hood but also unhealthy. The Building
of industrial establishments will do
away with the first Of these objections
and the filling in of the swamp land
will mitigate the second.

ing on the Brandywine Creek aud
bounded by Eleventh street on the
south, Thatcher street on the east and
the railroad running from the Thatcher
quarries on the north. This tract com
prises 10 acres of the only unoocupied
water front in Wilmington. Since the
purchase part OF the swamp has been
Tiled In level with the street, and the
entire tract will be filled up az fast as
the dirt can be secured. The land will
then be most desirable for manu-
featuring purposes. eA Y
1t is also stated on good authority
that the p, W. & b.. railroad will
move their shops and roundhouse from
their present location to Todd's Cut,
just south of the bridge on the main
line across Shellpot Greek. When this
work is accomplished and the shops
and roundhouse in working order, the
demand for houses near the shops will
be great, as the majority of employees
desire to live near their work. Another
feature which will greatly advance the
value of property there is the con-
struction and operating of the proposed
trolley line down Vandever avenue.
The future of this section of Whining
ton takes on roseate hue, and the
effect will doubtless extend to Eastlake.
