NEW CASTLE, Jan. 25.-Residents
~ this CITY and Wilmington who have
occasion to patronize the trolley cars
plvinr between the two places com
nlasn OF the lack OF cars to convey
the workmen employed at the vari-
rra nlanfs In and near this city ana
~ and from work nights and morn
sngs There are so many men 10 carry
and they all want transportation ABOUT
ehe sanna time. that the cars at GER
rain hours OF the day are crowded al
most to suffocation. This Is especlaily
true Of the cars bound for Wlinlnb
ton at 4.30, 8 and O'Clock these
cars are patronized almost eh'iiey
BY vorlzmen who are as eager lui
seats as passengers who nave ho'
been toiling at bench or win heaVg
tools all day, and the rush they MAKE
for seats when there is crowd OF
them TO get on q car az some paruou-
lar place. literally carries everything
before Il. Not only are all the seats
taken in a jiffy, but the men VIII
crowd in until there rs no standing
room in the aisles. and in this posi-
tlon they will ride all the way TO
Wilmington.
As this rush comes al the same
fine each day IL is thought that the
frollev company might make some
provision TO handle II 10 the better
comfort Of the passengers than II IN

Because william Warren, tenant OF
the Shaw-Taylor farm, south OF this
city was tearing up a portion OF an
old wharf and hauling the lumber to
the farm for frewood, two occupants
of a cabin on the Delaware river
shore nearby beat him up. He went
70 Wilmington for warrant for the
aBeailants.
Il is thought in some quarters that
little interest will be taken in the
mass meeting tonight IN City Hall,
called for the purpose OF getting a
public expression from the people
upon the advisability of going before
the Legislature with a request TO
bond the city for street and other
municipal improvements. While many
property owners think that Fourth
street. which Is a more direct route
to the center OF town as one enters
the city from the north. should be
paved. they say the Improvement
should have been made instead Of
Second street. which Is a roundabout
route 10 the business section. Others
who would like 10 see Fourth street
paved say Il should be done at the
expense Of the abutting property
owners and not by general taxation,
IS in the latter case the improvement
would be paid for IN part by people
living far away from The street. and
who would never receive benefit OF
any kind from the improvement. II
is said in many quarters that n
street paving we're done by assessing
property owners bordering on the
street and adjoining IL, there would
be less apathy shown whenever an
Improvement Of that kind Is spoken
