WILMINGTON COMPANY
WILL HAVE A RIVAL

The Delaware River Navigation
Company, which operates boats be-
tween Philadelphia, Burlington and
Bristol, does nOt take kt1niy 10 the
prospective opposition that tie VIII
mineton Steamboat Company is pre-
pairing to iaaugurate this Summer. The
Delaware River Company therefore
proposes to retahate for the invasion
of its preserves, by putting q boat on
the route from Philadelphia TO Chester
and Wilmington, TO compete with the
City of Chester and Brandyw.ne, that
belong to the Wilmington company.
According to reports, the Delaware
River Navigation Company has pur-
chased a large lake steamer the Dia-
mond State, which as soon as naviga-
tion opens, will be brougt from Ogdens-
burg, N. Y, to Philadelphia, and placed
on the Chester and Wilmington route
The rivalry doubtless will be produc-
tive Of low fares.

mission bill at the hands of its father, but
Senator Blakely's resentment at having
been made a fool of did not die with it,
1t was intensified by seeing Senator Alb
bott walk over to Mr.. Biggs and shake
hands with him and receive an approving
smile.
He went to Senator Alice and told his
tale of Indignation in homely prose which
nothing but a series Of dashes could cx
press to the reader.
'And just to think, he got us to go into
committee and fight his bill out for him
and then makes a monkey Of us on the
floor by killing it himself" he exclaimed.
And then he drew on his vocabulary,
and said things about Senator Abbott
which made Senator Alice shudder.
Next came the B. Il 0. Communication
bill But few days ago you could hear
an Addicks man say IN be id il Levi
can get his bill through this timer But
he did it, and every member Of the Senate
with the exception of Senator Brasure,
voted for it, There hasn't been such a
funk for years as that Of the Addicks
people.
Senator Brasure was the only AddiclSs
man who stood by his gun. He opposed
it on the ground that he was opposed to
any reduction. lie thought the impress
sion had gone out that the Legislature
intended to increase the taxes of all the
railroads and he did not believe the State
could spare the money.
Senator Slaughter explained that the
Communication bill really increased the b.
& 0. tax about $500 a year and ne IA
vored its passage.
Now the Delaware railroad tax bill in
the House will be disposed Of If the Ad-
dicks men do not drop the Aron amend
ment increasing the tax to $4,000, the en-
tire bill will be killed.
"Some of these Addicks men say that if
/ don't vote for Addicks it will cost the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company $780,
OOO" said Representative Hodgson,
Regular Republican, to your correspond
ent yesterday. "All have to say in re-
ply to that is that / am sorry my refusal
to vote for Addicks is going TO cost the
railroad company so much, but-well, 1t
can't be helped, it seems"
And he laughed heartily at the thought
OF the Union Republicans endeavoring to
use railroad legislation to club him into
line for the gasman.
