new COMPANY
CHANGES PLANS
West Chester Railway Not to
Use Tracks of Old Com
pany in This City

Directors Of the West Chester and
Wilmington Electric Railway Company. in
session here this morning. discussed
means OF getting their cars into the city.
Although representatives OF the COM
pany refused to announce what action had
been taken in the matter It was under
stood that the company viii not use the
tracks of the Wilmington City Railway
Company in this city as was expected 1t
was also understood that the company
would hold to its original plan to operate
its road between the cities over private
right Of way already obtained. instead OF
using the Concord turnpike In this event
the company win either have to obtain
right OF way on the streets Of Whining
ton or to enter into a traffic agreement
with the Peoples Railway Company by
which the cars Of the new company could
enter the city at East Lake and reach the
p, B. and W. depot over the Peoples
line. This latter arrangement seems pos
sible.
The new company has received its mer-
ger charter from the secretary Of state OF
Pennsylvania and viii now proceed to pre-.
pare a bond issue. aggregating $500, 900 and
to place its mortgage on record Sufficient
money to build the road has been secured
and the work Of construction viii be
started in a short time. 1t is hoped to
have the road built as far as Lombardy
Cemetery by May 80. Mr.. O'Connell, presi-
dent OF the road, is moving his teams.

mence construction OF the new line.

FRUIT GROWERS REQUEST
BETTER Freight RATES
An AII-Day Conference Held at DOvcr-Wll
SheIvc No More Cars for
Peaches

admitted the rate and replied that no
reduction in the freights had been
made.
Won't SheIve Cars
The order to shelve no more fruit
cars was explained as irrevocable and
the growers will have to select some
other package. The railroad commit
tee will report back to the company
and inform the committee of its hnd-
ings.
Mr.. Barker asked what may be ex-
pected in the reduction Of freight rates
on peaches to compensate the grower
fin a measure for the expense of the
covered ackage. which muse be used in
unshelved cars.
Mr.. Kingston replied that substan-
/ tial reduction was made last year
when the order was given that cars
must not be shelved for carrying
peaches. For example, the rate from
Dover to New York was reduced from
A cents per 100 pounds to S5 cents
per 100 pounds, and this rate applies
to all points between Dover and Por-
ter The rate from Wyoming was re-
duced from 45 cents to 40 cents per
100 pounds; from Bridgeville it>Yas re-
duced from 4S IL cents to 40 cents,
and from Delmar It was reduced from
81 IL cents to 40 cents per 100 pounds.
From Milford It was reduced from
48 1-2 cents to As cents, this slightly
higher rate applying to the branch
road points. To more distant points
the reduction in rates is more marked.
For example, to Albany n. Y, the rate
has been reduced from SO cents to As
cents from main line points, and to 55
cents from the branch roads. The re-
duction to Rochester is the same as
46 cents per 100 pounds. The reduc-
ton to Pittsburg is from 20 cents TO
As cents from main line points, and
54 IL cents from the branch roads.
lOnly Pay for Extra Weight
The committee expressed the belief
that for the bulk of the fruit, which
will go to Philadelphia and New York
the reduction in rate is but little more
than enough to pay for the extra
weight OF package, but for the more
distant points Is a fairly liberal reduc-
tion.
Mr. Kingston stated that he would
} send to the secretary OF the COMMITTEES
Ia copy Of the old rates in comparison
with the new to all the principal ship
ping points.
Mr.. Kingston stated that all COM
lplaints, of whatever nature. whether
Applying to freight rates. an incon-
jvenTent time of train or any lack OF
facilities will be given careful consid-
leration.

PEOPLE PANIC STRICKEN
BY United Press Leased Special wire


CITY OF MEXICO. March U.s.
Deaths in the earthquake Thursday
night in the republic are expected to
reach 500. Two cities and three vii
lagos were completely destroyed, and
many villages damaged. The cities OF
Chilpancino and Chilapa. The villages
are Conception, Tetillila and Coatpre.
Government troops and provisions
are being rushed TO the scenes Of ter
ror to-day. The greater part of Chill
apa burned and the panic-stricken
people made no effort to extinguish the
flames or care for the dead. who are
thought to number 80. At Chilpanoingo
reports say a few were killed. The
other dead are reported from the VIII
lagos. Many Of the dead were inciner-
ated and the exact number viii never
be known.
200 Houses Destroyed
In this city 200 houses were destroy
ed but no one killed.
In Chilpancingo not a house was left
standing and the shocks continued for
some time. Because of the interrupt
tion of the telegraph. little information
has reached here from many towns be-
lieved to have been razed. The greater
portion Of the damage reported is in
that district lying to the south OF the
City Of Mexico from 80 to lis miles
The towns and cities to the north do not
appear to have suffered so heavily. Start
ing from Mier. near the Rio de Grande on
the north the earthquake followed the e9th
mreidan southwark 500 miles from which
point the damage appears TO be slight to
the south. Reports say that the towns OF
San Jose. San Lorenzo de AIorena. Quere-
no and Oxatcal. In the state Of Querro
have suffered serious damage and some
OF them may be ruined
Dozen Killed at Worship.
In the town OF San Jose an adobe church
was destroyed while services were in
progress. OF the fifty who were inside. a
dozen or more were killed and nearly all
OF them were injured.
It is probable worshippers in other VII
lagos were caught in a like manner and
# is this situation that the government
fears.
Telegraph communications have been
severed from the stricken district. but
messengers have been sent to the scene.
The government has decided to do every
thing possible TO relieve suffering. Six
severe shocks were felt during Friday.
