Willard Say lsbury when seen by
a reporter for the DAILY REPUBLICAN
this morning and asked concerning
his opinion Of the appointment of
voters assistants by governor Hum
said: The conditions are SO mani
fest that it is useless for me to say
anything. The governor evidently
made up his mind to appoint the as
sistants replying on the inability of
the Democratic party at this time to
prevent the executive from acting.
He evidently became convinced of
the usclcssness to appeal to the
judges and i'll his anxiety to serve
the corrupt purpose Of the Union
Republican Party he entirely disrez
garael the law of the State which
authorized him to offer questions of
this kind to the pledges. T don't

it impossible to operate their works

running their works at a loss.
Among the coal dealers there is
ten ndency TO moderate the prevailing

TROLLEY ROAD
TIED Up BY LAW
Injunction Against Construc-
ton Of Line in Kennett
Square.
LOCAL LINES AFFECTED.
Proceedings Will Delay Open
ing Of Line Between This
City And Pennsyl-
Vania Towns.

! The Indications are that the trolley
war in Kennel Square may cause IL
cessation of work and that the pno-
pie of the Pennsylvania towns will
not be able to come to Wilmington
by trolley by Christmas as was eX
/ pectel.
( For some weeks the trolley war
in Kennel Square was as warm as
the coal situation. and much vigor-
Gus language has been indulged in
by the citizens on the opposing
sides of the Tennis Construction
Company and the Vandegrift Com
pany. When the right Of way was
granted by the Borough Council to
the Vandeglift Company, many
citizens protested, and when the
Tennis Company legally known as
the West Chester Street Railway
Company was turned down about
two weeks ago, by a vote Of 1 to 3,
a great wave Of indignation at once
passed over the borough, and the
friends Of the Tennis people have
awaited an opportunity to get
square with their opponents.
At that meeting petition signed
by 2l5 bona tide tax payers were
presented 20 Council, asking that
the West Chester Street Railway he
given the franchise asked for, but
the vote decided that the Nande- |
glift Company, known as the Ken
nett Square and Oxford Railway
Company, should be given until
January 1st to construct their road.
The latter company thereupon made
show of constructing their
road, and railroad iron was unload
I'd at different points and some
begun near Toughkenamon
md west of Kennett Square.
Burgess Yeatman has applied to
he West Chester court for tenn
rary injunction and the Vande-
;rift Company is at present enjoln-
ID from continuing the work. The
inc connects with Wilmington by
way of Brandywine Springs and
iockessin and the injunction pro-
eedings may play the completion
+ the connecting link before De-
ember 1 as was expected.

GIGANTIC DEAL
IS UNDER WAY.
To Unite Lighting, Heating
and Power Projects Of
Many Cities.
TELEPHONE MERGE ALSO.
Undertaking Contenlplates the
Consolidation of Delaware
And Susquehanna En-
terprises.

| In connection with the activity
now displayed relative to the affairs
of the Maryland Telephone Com.
| pany statements have been made in
local financial circles from which il
appears that a deal Of gigantic pro-
portions is pending and which prom.
ises soon to be of great Importance.
The plans being developed have in
contemplation the consolidation of
electric railways and electric lighting
and power interest Of Washington,
Baltimore. Wilmington, Chester,
Philadelphia, as well as many other
cities and towns located in the
tbickly populated districts of North
crn New Jersey.
The purpose of those actively in
terested is said to be to unite the
stock ownership and control of many
OF the cLmpauies located in the
several cities, towns AMI districts
along the route Of II proposed trunk
over which route will be transmit
ted for utilization electric current
aud power, which is to be generated
by Use Of the water power of the
Potomac, Susquehanna and Della
ware rivels.
The reports and engineering data
already worked outfoi the promoters
and capitalists who are Interested
in the project are said to demonstrat
the fact the sufficient electric current
and power can be produced from the
waterfalls of the three rivers men.
tloned to supply the needs of the
cities and towps thus proposed to be
errVed with light, heat and power
for many years to come, and that the
financial Interests behind the pro-
ject are satisfied that the Subsll tn.
tion of electricity generated by
water power for general use for light
ing, heating and power purposes in.
stead OF gas, coal and steam will
greatly increase the faculties for
manufacturing purposes in all thu
cities and towns 10 be thus Connect.
ed, and generally along the railway
lines, where the electric current
from water power can be transmitted
and used TO advantage.
1t IS further said that one OF the
primary objects in contemplation by
the promoters Of this enterprise is /
to establish trunk line system of
long distance telephones over and
along this electric railway right of
way, thus connecting up the iude.
pendent telephone systems now be.
pg operated in the several cities
md suburban country from Wash.
ngton to New York. Among the larg.
st of these telephone lines alrea adv
established are kncwn to be the lines
controlled by the Maryland Tele.
'hone system, OF Maryland and
Delaware. and the Keystone Tele.
'hone system in Philadelphia aud
he outlying districts of Penusyl.
ania and New Jersey.
