NEW CASTLE. Aug. 1s.-There
we're fifty angry people here yester-
day morning when the Ericsson Line
steamer failed to stop on her trip.
Operator Duffy had called the boat,
but the captain paid no attention.
Among those who desired TO go to
Baltimore for the day we're two
travelling statesmen. AS soon as the
boat failed 10 stop the men took the
names OF witnesses and then engaged
3. T. Lank to take them in his auto
mobile 10 81. Georges Before leaving
here they said they will collect their
expenses from the company.
"The company advertises by news
papers and cards that the boat stops
here every day" they said.
I'VE were here, there was a high
tide and now we must make an ef-
sort to meet the boat at St. Georges. -
City Councilman Gallagher said last
evening that he has notified the super
intendent OF the Ericsson Line that
the steamers must stop every day or
they must discontinue advertising
that they do so.
1T is entirely wrong" said Coun-
Gilman Gallagher. when we have
plenty OF water and a new wharf for
this boat TO come in whenever II
pleases the captain. They will either
stop every day or not al all.
