PROPOSED CHANGE. Th- r ' n j Line Between Oap- Miy and Lewes, Del, May Change Hindi. Although tbe new* which baa been bronght to tbe IleitALD haa not bcu confirmed, we are iriforiitied that tbo Capo May and New Jersey Coast Steamship Company, which operatea tbe ferry line by the steamer Virginia across tbe Delaware Bay, bctaeeu Cape May aud Lewes last summer, will become a part and parcel of the Quo n kune'* Railroad before another summer seaSon comes upon ox. There will be a rearrangement of tha time table between Baltimore and Capa May, an that there can be more convenient time* of coming and going. Last year there were thousands of dollars brought to Cape May by reason of tbe route. Thnae who inaugurated the affaire are ■aid to bavu lost some money however, and are sufleriug personally in tbelr financial all:nr*. Tbe Virginia ia said to have Ix-eu leased to the company % i'S owner, Mr. Joseph R. WainwrighL owner * : two valuable piece* of property here. Those wb-i inangursted tbe tbe schema including ex-Senatur Lemuel E. Miller have not received very liberal treatment at tbe band* of some of our resident*. Mr. Miller was elected to council as a partis! reward but be is in s poaltiou where he can do but little for himself, except to advocate measure* for improvement of Whatever hapjieii* to tbe ferrysge line.
