Sale OF A Railroad
The Delaware Coast Railway Com
pany with lines extending from
Lewes to Denton, Md, was sold at
public auction at Denton, Md, on

There was only one bid received
this was by Winthrop Sargent, Jr.,

that it is improved and put in first
class condition.

hended and are now in the Jail at
Georgetown.
