make an effort TO get the Wabash sys-
tenn to make Wilmington its shipping
point and the matter may be brought
up at the next meeting Of the board.
should the Board OF Trade take uD the
matter and induce the road to run into

one Of the most foremost railroad CEN
tres in the country. as there are already
three large railroads here.

Wabash people to run the line into that
city. There is little doubt but that it
will eventually get there, but it, win
not go by way of Wilmington unless
the effort is made to secure it here.
The great railway system at present
proposes 10 go to the north Of this city.
II Wilmington win make the effort IL
might be induced to come in this di-
rection and what would most attract
those interested in the railroad is the
fine river front which Wilmington can
offer. and it is much nearer the ocean
