Castle. Del, to reconsider the case Of
the Rev. Robert. A. Elwood, Of VIII

BOARD OF TRADE HAS
BEEN AFTER WABASH
So Far Members Have Re.
ceived No Encouragement.
Talk About Channel

Although the Board Of Trade has
been making strenuous efforts to get
the Wabash road to enter this city. no
word as TO its intention has been re-
ceived. The members are hoping,
however, that the road will go through
Wilmington instead of stopping at
Baltimore.
Captain Sanford will be in this city
I'm a few days to go over the plans Of
dredging the Christiana river. He will
go down the river accompanied by
several members of the Board Of Trade
In speaking of the harbor improve
ments this morning a member Of the
board said that a mistake was being
made by those who were insisting upon
a twenty-five channel He said
that if this was insisted upon a new
survey would have to be made and it
would be two years before the appro-
priation could be secured. AS it is
now there is a survey for twenty one
foot channel. A vessel which came
here for repairs is light If they come
loaded they have twenty-seven feet at
high water.
The same member said that there is
an annual deposit of 100000 yards q
year in the river. 1t costs at least S20,-
600 a year to dig it out. It was a fact,
he said, that if the channel was not
} kept clear the Harlan & Hollingsworth
Company plant If not other shipyards
would have to close. Since the ship
yard went into the trust $4,000 week
has been paid out in wages.
The statement made that the Penn
sylNania railroad owns all the land
along the Delaware from Edge Moor
to the mouth OF the Christiana was
denied.
