BY S. S. Hoff, Gen Z Supt.
PRESIDENT EVANS CLAIM.

When seen this morning, President
Evans of the New Castle line, stated
that his company received a copy OF
the foregoing communication post
marked at the Wilmington postoffice
at 100 this morning. The tracks We're
torn up within thirty minutes thereaf-
ter. Mr.. Evans continued:
THE claim that this was due to fall
ure to make payments to the Whining
ton City Railway Company is mislead-
ing in that the conflicting claims Of the
two companies are I'm litigation and
must be settled by the courts unless
the New Castle company is willing to
simply draw checks as fast as the
Wilmington company can make out the
bills. Their ability I'm making out bills
is rather phenomenal"
President Evans further stated that
every possible effort is being made to
avoid annoyance TO passengers during
the copclnuance Of present conditions,
which see Unlikely to continue until his
company has in operation an inde-
pendent entrance into the city.
A peculiar feature OF the communi-
cation received by President Evans
was the fact that the date i'm April
upon which the exclusion was to take
place was left blank and he was AT
a loss to know when the exclusion
was to take place. Willard Salisbury

At two o'clock this morning a force
of worlSmen in the employ of the Will

UP and carried AWAY several sections
OF its rails south of and adjoining the
tracks of the Wilmington & Northern
Abroad, below Eden Park i'm South

around the obstruction and board a

It IS stated, however. that the VIII
