Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEW CASTLE, Dec. 29-When one
finds himself in a town with telephone
poles and wires down, "A trolley line
blocked with snowbanks fourteen feet
in height and eight trains scattered
along the railroad with no chance of
getting to Wilmington, one can imag
inc the position of the writer of the
New Castle letter yesterday. But it
was a case of hope agains hope. Hope
thai a train might come along so that
the copy written the previous night
could be printed. But disappointment
predominated not only for the scribes
but the business men.
Alexander Tropenas, president of the
Tropenas Steel Company. and a mil
lionaire, had to take chances with
others. Mr.. Tropenas had an engage
ment in New York, as he wished to
see a very close friend aboard the
steamer sailing from New York for
Europe this morning John Carrick,
who had been spending Christmas with
his parents, was anxious to reach Phil
adelphia in order to catch the Black
Diamond express for Buffalo, n. Y,
where he is an electrical engineer. Mr.
Carrick is a New Castle High School
boy. who later graduated from Della
ware College and is making his mark
in the world.
John r. Lambson was anxious to
reach his place of business, Kennard
and Company. Wilmington.
A. V. Leslie George expressed his
preference to be in the Office Of the
recorder Of deeds than in NV Castle
at $50
Hugh McCaughan was as desirous of
reaching Parkesburg as John NJ. Will
son was of getting to the City of
Brotherly Love.
Thomas Modem and George Wilhelme
were on the anxious bench for train
for Virginia. while Undertaken Clewell
desired going TO Bear Station.
There were fifty others, all anxious
to reach Wilmington.
But there was no hope. for the big
| engines were blocking the tracks at
! Middletown, there We're two other
/ trains between there and Bear sta
| ton. while the Norfolk express that
reached here at a. m. was still at the
/ lower block tower awaiting orders.
Time dragged slowly until the Nor
| folk express was seen to move south
ward and then came a southbound
train. That revived hope and soon it
was learned that an eighteen hours
belated Norfolk express was coming
! Tickets were bought and men and wo-
men crowded TO the platform only to
see the two big engines sending steam
and smoke in all directions and the
express once more ignored business
men and women as well as scribes.
The next train might" be up in al
hour and a half. It was at Middle
town. An hour later the hoped-foi
train was at Townsend and would moi
be here for two hours. Men and wO
men then went to their homes.
The first car on the trolley road since
Saturday night at $40 had started FOL
Wilmington this morning.
Down along the river Hugh r. Duffy
Of the Maritime Exchange, kept hi
eye out for all passing vessels. Blu
not one came in sight.
Oil was in demand because yesterda!
was the day one of the big wagons
should come to New Castle All of tn
storekeepers were out of their usua
supply and empty cans were carrie,
from store to store.

Saracen's Head Tavern.

The Saracen's Head, Snow HiI. now closed reached back to respectable antiquity In Dick Iarltons ,Iests% it is referred to as the Saracens Head without Newgate." and Stow calls it "a fair and large inn for re- ceipt of travellers" which hath to sign tue sarazen's IIead.' It's pre- eminent interest, however, is natural ly Dickensian, and the novelist has given q vivid description of the old inn as it was wlen Nicholas Nickleby and his uncle Interviewed there the master of Dothcboys Hal. There are various accounts Of the origin of the sign of the Saracen's Head. One is that it was set up as a compliment to the mother of Thomas a Beckett, who was the daughter of Saracen. In Seldens Table Talk we read, When our countrymen came home from fighting with the Saracens they pictured them with huge, big, terrible faces, as you still see the sign of the Saracen's Head is.'-London Chronicle.
