RAILROAD YARDS
FREE OF CARS
Have Been Congested Sew
eral Months, But They
Were Cleaned Out

The congestion in the freight yards
OF this city was greatly relieved yes
terday afternoon and last night, and
today the yards are clearer than they
have been for some time.
Local railroad men have been a hard
worked lot for the past three months,
and yet the cars continued to pour in
with a regularity that was appalling
until the yards were simply blocked,
and as a consequence local merchants
and manufacturers suffered to a certain
extent, the company not being able to
get their cars at places where they
could be unlOaded Z verything pos
sible was done, but the tracks vera SO
blocked that they could do nothing.
The cause of the local congestion
was not the fault of railroad men in
this city. The extensive improvements
all along the line, and particularly at
Philadelphia, was responsible for the
ltie-up. OF course, the work on the new
elevated road here has been a serious
detriment to the handling of freight
several tracks having been cOnfscated
The additional tracks at GTay's
Ferry were completed yesterday, anC
the work of removal began. and b,
daylight today the yards were practi
| cally deserted by freight cars.
/ The railroad men have been prepar
ing for this exodus for several days
and the removal. when it was started
was done quickly.

GOVERNOR FOR ELECTION
Cannot be Held Earlier Than Tues
day, December t6

Dover Del. Nov. Ex-Governor HUM
has. a. is understood, decided to call a
special election for representative In the
General Assembly from legislative district
No ., of Kent county, embracing Har-
rington and Pennington.
Upon the result OF this election of one
Assemblyman much IS centered concern
ing the struggle for two United States
Senators Without the Harrington rep
resentative there are but fifty-one MEM
bers of the Legislature and but twenty
six, therefore, are required to elect sena-
tors when all are present and voting. The
Addicks Republican candidate from
this district James Wilbur Powell. is tied
with the Democrat, Solomon L. Sapp.
Naturally every iota OF Democratic
strength from every point in Delaware
will be centered at Harrington and Farm
ington for the next fortnight or until the
election is over and the result known. The
Addicks men. too. will spare no effort to
carry this district, as they now claim that
they are within one vote Of clecting the
rasman and another Republican upon the
first joint ballot
Under the peculiar law governing spe'
cial elections the governor must order q
special registration to be held for two
successive Saturdays in the various regis
tration places in this district. The quail
fed voters viii not be compelled TO agar
register the new registration being TO al
low all those who have become eligible e
register either by age or length OF resi-
dence I'm the district, to qualify.
The election cannot, therefore, be Sc
for an earlier date than Tuesday, Decem

about ten days to prepare Tor ther Woih
