Several trolley lines are projected IN
Chester county, Pa, which, when com
pleted, viii place Wilmington WITHIN
easy reach of every section OF the county
The West Chester kennett y Whining
ton line now furnishes direct communl-
cation with West Chester and hennett
Square and also several nearby points,
and the new roads will take IN much
more territory.
The West Chester Street Railway Co.
has placed several orders for material lot
its proposed extension from Gallagher
vile to Coatesville, and it is stated that
lust as soon rs the material IS delivered
the work of construction, which has been
delayed, will begin, and 1t Is expected
that the extension can be completed IN
six weeks or two months. There Is very
little grading 70 be done as the route Is
along the level Lancaster pike and the
ties and tracks can be laid rapidly. The
contract for the work, il is stated. has
been given to Farrell Bros, OF West
Chester.
The Philadelphia & West Chester
Traction Co. has been granted the right
to operate its line through the borough
of Aldan. Delaware county, and 1t thus
secures another stretch of territory IN It's
reported effort to reach Chester. The
exact route to be taken has not been
made public, but it will start at the ter
minus of the Clifton Heights extension
and continue toward Chester and it Is
expected that an ordinance will be
passed giving the company the right to
enter that city. A contest was expected
over that matter, but it is said that all
differences have been hamonized, and
the ordinance will be passed. This will
give Chester a new line to Philadelphia
and also connect Chester with West
Chester, and all towns on the traction
company's lines.
The Kennett road is well patroniyed,
especially by people living along the route,
most of whom do their dealing in Will
mington. The company has been inn
proving its service, and connections are
made with other lines which are con-
sidered advantageous for patrons.
From present indications Wilmington
trolley cars will soon be running into
MARYLAND. 1t is expected that the line
to Elkton will be built during the cur
rent year. and the probabilities are that
it will benefit the business interests of
Wilmington.
Unless there is a hitch in the present
plans. the proposed line between Della
ware City and Odessa will also be built
this year. which will afford trolley COM
munication between Wilmington and
Niddletown.

REBUILDING PUBLIC ROADS.
Interesting Work in Progress Along the
Kennett Trolley Line.


Passengers on the trolley road between
this city and West Chester. Pa, have an
opportunity to see roadmaking in Penn
sylvania. Thomas E. OConnell, the con-
tractor has a large force of men engaged
along the Unionville and Kennett road,
rebuilding the road. The contractor has
nearly completed the grading OF most Of
the steep hills, and has started to lay the
teliord basis for a good, wide macsdam
roadway, which will be in keeping with
the many other modern improved roads
Of that section.
The stone is hauled on trolley cars from
Mr.. O'Connell's Avondale quarries and
dumped conveniently at places needed,
and the work is being expedited quite
rapidly. This stone is of a fine quality
for telford and will make a splendid
roadbed The work started at Willow
dale and yesterday had progressed a con-
siderable distance toward Cedarcroft. and
will be continued to the kennett borough
line. When it is completed there will be
a continuous pike, from Willowdale to
West Grove, and as the contract has been
let for other branches, Kennett Square
will be the centre of a series Of fine stoned
roads, second to no other section Of
chester county.
The next piece of road to be piked by
the same contractor lies between Willow
dale and Red Lion The citizens Of East
Marlborough may extend the stoned
road to Unionville, and also to the State
road. The taxpayers of Newlin, Pocop-
son and East Bradford hope to have il
continued via Seeds and Jefferis' bridges,
to West Chester, whereby the county seat
will be connected with all sections Of
Southern Chester county by fine modern
roadways, which are Of as much I'M
portance to farmers as good trolley lines.
Contractor OConnell is pushing his con-
tracts as fast as possible.

LENAPE PARK.

It Will Probably be LEASED by the West
Chester Street Railway Co.
It is said that Lenape Park, on the
Philadelphia g. Reading railway. a short
distance above Wilmington, will prob
ably be leased shortly by the West Ches-
ter Street Railway Co. from the Phila-
delpha q Reading Co., the owner.
The trolley company is rebuilding the
trestle and bridge at lenape and will
have the work completed before the
summer picnic season opens. Super
intendent 4. w. Goss Of the street rail-
way says that no lease has yet been made,
but it is believes an arrangement viii
be made before many days and the park
put in condition for the summer amuse-
ment season.
The park looks pretty and it will not
take much work to have il as fine as 10
was last year. The seats are all still
stored in the pavilion, but are in good
shape and ready for use when needed
The trouble about a renewal Of the lease
is said to be over the repairing of Lenape
dam, which is in bad condition. and needs
much attention. Last year the park was
opened on May 30th.

Of the structure will hold only a single

are now being exhibited about the

venirs is held by an official Of safe

cigar, hut the owner would not part
with it for its weight in gold. The
cigar was in ono Of the company's
safes on the fifth floor of steel frame
building on Market street which col
lapsed with the earthquake. After
wards fire swept the district. A few
days later, when the safe was pried
out of the ruins, its contents, includ-

perfect condition. The weed is prob
ably the only Havana in the city that

Bluejackets Of the United States

in the city streets this week. And
very we'll behaved sailormen they have
been. Though half the men of the
fleet crews have been constantly on
shore leave during the week, thus let
ting loose some 4, 600 iackies upon the
city at once, the metropolitan police
have not been worried by the invasion
in the least. In the one case of vio-
lence that came to the attention of the
police, the sympathy was all with the
sailors. While three iackies were
drinking in a Bowery resort of thievish
reputation, some crooks picked the
pocket Of one of them and then drove
the trio into the streets. The three
told their story to some of their com
rades, with the result that soon a band
of 300 sailors marched on the place,
burst in, and proceeded to make the
band of crooks candidates for a hospi-
tai Some one sent for the police, but
by the time the reserves of the nearest
station arrived. the trouble was almost
over. Every glass and every stick Of

The Test of Hardness.

A good many people appear TO think
that resistance to a blow is a test of
hardness in minerals, whereas ii is re-
sistance to erosion. Ignorance of this
fact led man not long ago to expert
ment on what appeared TO be a large
and unusually clear garnet Of rather
light red color. He took hammer to
ii and smashed it to atoms. A diamond
Is the hardest substance in the world,
yet 1t may be broken by tap from
hammer or even a fall on the sidewalk.
as Ii Is apt to split along any of the
cleavage lines, which are parallel to
its faces. Experts test an undeter-
mined gem first with file and after
with fragment of stone of differing
hardness. If it yields to the file, it is
a glass or something no more durable
than that
