ANOTHER STEP IN TELEGR APH WAR.
Western Union Asks to Have PhiIa. W. & B.
Railroad Company Restrained.

The Western Union Telegraph Co.,
through its counsel, Isador Rayner,
Encouragement of Maryland, filed
suit in the United States Court last
week asking that the Philadelphia,
Baltimore & Washington, practically
owned by the Pennsylvania railroad,
be enjoined from destroying its system
of poles and wires. The bill narrates
that the railroad company has given
the telegraph company notice to re-
move its wires and poles from the line
of the road by May 18th. This the
company has declined to do, and has
asked for an injunction.
The bill relies mainly upon the act
of Congress passed in 1856, giving tele-
graph companies the right of use upon
the lines of all railroads that are post
roads of the United States. 1t charges
that the Pennsylvania railroad is a
post road of the United States, and il
asks for power from the court to con-
denim right of way along the railroad
and for the continuance of its system
until condemnation proceedings are
perfected.
The complaint alleges that if the
Pennsylvania railroad is allowed tc
destroy this system the public bust
ness of the country would be en-
dangered, As we'll as the business o.

AWARDING OF CONTRACT TO TENNIS CON-
STRUCTION COMPANY OF PHILADELPHIA.
Railway Will be -Four Miles Long Right of
Way Secured Expected that Trolley
Matters Will Now Boom at Newark.

Trolley lines which have been rapid
lyincreasing the territory opened to this
convenient form of traffic in seasons
past, will make further extensions this
year. The survey has been com
pleted for the Middletown and Odessa
Electric Railway Company, which is
headed by William r. Polk of Odessa.
The right of way has been secured in
both towns and on private property On
the north side of the public road be-
tween the two towns. The distance is
four miles and work is expected to be
started in a short time. The Tennis
Construction Company of Philadelphia
has the contract for the work.
Now that the town of Newark has
Council favorable to trolleys, some
thing may be done soon towards con-
Meeting that town with other points
by means of the electrical system.
Formerly the Council was opposed to
trolleys and kept offer to make the
terms, but put so many public opinion
in favor of trOlleys grew SO strong,
however, that the Council did offer to
make terms, but put so many stiputa-
tions into the franchises that the COM
panies did not accept. Now the towns
people have put into the Council men
favorable to electric lines and should
any apply for franchise they will be
treated in business-like manner.
One proposition that was made
some time ago was for the construction
of line from Elkton to Newark. Then
there were the Wilmington City Rail-
way Company and the Delaware
Suburban Company, both desirOus Of
building the connecting link between
Wilmington and Newark. The Will
mington City Railway Company pro-
posed building from Stanton by the
southern route passing under the
Pennsylvania railroad near Ogles-
town. The Suburban proposed cross
ing under the Baltimore and Ohio
tracks at Stanton. So both roads
would have avoided grade crossings.
The distance from Stanton and Newark
is six miles and it would not take long
to build the road.

FISHING INDUSTRY AT DELAWARE CITY.
Over a Hundred Thousand of Herring Caught
in the CsnaI ln One Day.

That the fishing industry in Dela-
ware City resembles the fruit crop in
southern Delaware, there is no doubt.
When it is successful the people have
plenty. When it fails they are some
time in recovering from it. There is
no danger of the people suffering this
as the fish are coming in there by the
thousands, and are being caught by
the men engaged in the business in
larger quantities than ever before in
the history of the place.
From early morning until late at
night the men are busy gathering in
the sleek herring and fnny shad, and,
indeed, in some instances, all night.
They believe in making money while
the fish run.

PRETTY WEDDING IN MIDDLRTOwN.
Miss Mary Helen Smith, Daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Smith, Bride Of Mr. Massey.

One of the prettiest weddings of the
season took place Thursday afternoon
at o'clock in Bethesda Nj. E. Church,
Middletown, when Miss Mary Helen
Smith, youngest daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John T. Smith, and Albert Law
renee Massey were joined in matri-
mony by the Rev. Alfred Scott of Will
mington, cousin of the bride, assisted
by the Rev. @. T. Wyatt, pastor of
Bethesda NJ. E. Church. The church
was prettily trimmed with plants, calla
and Easter lilies.
Shortly after the appointed hour the
bridal party entered the church to
Lohengrin's wedding march, rendered
by Miss Lena Pleasanton. First came
the ushers 7. Gilpin and Edward E.
Massey, brothers of the groom; War
rem S. Ellicott and S. Tinley Scott of
Wilmington. Following them were
the bridesmaids, Miss Florence d. Gill
and Miss Martha Scott Cf Lewes, dress
ed in white chiffon and carrying pink
carnations, and after them came the
groom and his best man, S. Emlin
Massey. They marched from the rear
of the church to the front, separating
on either side of the main, aisle thu S
forming an aisle for the bride and maid
of honor. First came the maid of
honor, Miss Maud A. Smith, sister of
the bride, dressed in pink silk muslin
aud carrying pink carnations. Follow
ing came Miss Jessie Caulk Shepperd

Salisbury Is Now a Dry Town.

Salisbury is now dry town. Thurs
day night at II o'clock every saloon
was closed, and will remain so for two
weeks or more, according to the deci-
sion of the Board of County Commls-
sioners, which will consider the liquor
dealers applications about May Goth.
The cause of the closing of the saloons
was the hardness of the Court of Ap-
peals in deciding the appeal carried up
from Wicomico county attacking the
constitutionality of chapter 1856 of the
acts of 1896. under which the elections
were held in Salisbury and Nutters
districts last fall, and which districts
voted dry. The liquor dealers are re-
quired to file their applications each
year 20 days before May 1st, if they
expect a-renewal of license on May 1st.
Applications must lie 20 days before
being considered by the commissioners.
This time the liquor dealers were un-
able to file their applications in the re.
quired time, and as a consequence
every saloon in the city is closed

The X-Ray Egg Tester. Simple, Durable and
Accurate Gives Promise Of Usefulness.
There are certain operations in busi-
concerning which little or moth
.-- IS known but which are, neverthe-
less, of much importance to both mer-
chant and to the general public. One
of these is the testing of eggs. This
has been heretofore a tedious affair,
each egg having to be examined separ-
ately. The X Ray Egg Tester does
away with this Objectionable feature
as by its use three dozen eggs are test
ed at once, and the results are perfect
ly satisfactory. The mechanism is ex-
ceedingly simple, there is nothing to
get out of order and the tester is so
constructed as to be strong and dur
able. It's adoption by produce dealers
will save them much time and trouble,
and its merits are certainly sufficient
to commend it to favor. This inven-
tion is owned by the X-Ray Egg Tes-
ter Company, whose Office is at 140

incorporated under the laws offthe
State of Delaware. 1t is capitali ized al
