In reply to a question as to whether
he knew Judge Parker personally
Judge Gray replied: Il had the pleasure
of returning from Europe on the same
steamer with him in 1895 and the i'm
preston he left upon me was that OF
one who was a quiet. dignihed, brainS
man. one who would be self contained

Road to the River Front-s,ooo Yards
to be Graded.
Persistent rumors have been ahoat
both in this city and New Castle for
some time to the effect that a new ship
building plant will be erected shortly
along the Delaware river some distance
this side of New Castle.
Although it has been impossible to
iobtain definite information upon the
Subject it is believed that the new yard
iii such it proves to be- viii be built by
either members Of the Harlan & Hol-
lingsworth Company or some parties
who were at one time connected with
it.
This belief is strengthened by the fact
4hat the farm occupied by Levy Court
commissioner Charles Megginson,
which faces the New Castle road. is a
part Of the Hollingsworth estate and
that the farm adjoining it in the rear
and facing the river. now occupied by
James Hirsch. was purchased some
years ago by persons said to be interest
ed in the estate.
Inquiries have been made also re-
gently Of Mr.. Poole. who owns.a farm
near the Hollingsworth estate, as to
the price he would desire for his prop
erty in the event of his disposing Of it.
It is an open secret that at least one
contractor living in New Jersey has
been figuring on the cost Of grading
sooe yards Of ground on the Hirsch
farm. but for whom or for what pur-
pose he refuses to disclose.
Another significant fact is that for
y years the Harlan & Hollingsworth
4 Company realized it would be neces-
sary to obtain new frontage if in
the future it was desired to enlarge the
plant
In conversation upon the subject Of
a new ship yard one member Of the
old Harlan & Honingsworth Company
stated that he had heard Of no such
movement and that the only person
who would or could throw any light
on the subject was out Of the city.
The recent purchase Of the Hirsch
property gives the Hollingsworth es-
tate right of way from New Castle
n road to the Delaware river.
