WILL ADD ANOTHER TRACK,
Railway Improvement Will Incon-
venience Cabin Dwellers.

The Wilmington City Railway
Company has decided to run anoth-
er track into its yard at the new
power house on Vandever avenue.
There are two tracks there now and
the addition of one moro may me-
cessitate the rebuilding of the tres
tie or the erection of an entirely
new structure.
If the trestle is mace wider it will
occupy the gronnd now used by
cabin dwellers. These people will
be obliged to vacate and they are
agitated because they have no place
to locate. The present situation is
advantageous for these families in
many ways.
The water affords them means of
living and they can easily sell the
fish they take from it. They procure
their coal, the most valuable article
in home now, from the ash piles
thrown from the power house.

in the reflection from a light in

to see him. Stepping up to Wood,
he drew his arm to strike, but Wood
dodged the blow, and before the
man could recover himself struck
him in the face with an umbrella
and cried for help, which frightened
the man, who took to his heels.
Wood states that the footpad was
about five feet five inches high and
weighed about $50 pounds. He wore
a dark suit of clothes, and was
masked and without hat and car

Scarcity OF timber for ties is the
cause OF the planting of these trees
by the railroad. During the last two

been experienced Ivy railroad officers
in obtaining the proper timber for
ties and the great amount used for
this purpose has drawn heavily on
the lumber markets of the country
