American Bark Homer Reaches
Brunswick From Australia.
Brunswick, Ca, June 26.-The American
bark George S. Homer, Hemeon, master.
arrived yesterday from Adelaide, South
Australia, via Barbados. Besides being
the finest fitted up vessel that ever en-
tered this port, of the sailing class, the
bark has recorded one of the longest and
quickest passages ever made by a sailing
vessel. Adelaide is nearly over to the
Chinese empire. and about 1850 miles
from Brunswick. Her papers show that
she made the voyage in eighty-four days
including a stop at Barbados. Her aver
age speed was 175 miles daily. Some days
good winds carried her along at the rate
of 900 miles. The voyage is regarded as
one of the most remarkable in shipping
circles. The Homer is magnificently fitted
up Her cabin is built on the order of
passenger steamship saloons and every
piece of visible woodwork polished and
vanished like glass. Capt. Hemeon is
clever to all visitors, and his vessel is
much visited by sightseers. She will car
ry about 10000 crossties for the George s.
Baxter Company to New York, and from
there take out another cargo to Australia
Efforts are being made to induce council
to break the contract now existing be-
tween the city and the light and water
company The company, ii is said, vio-
ates its contract daily and the best of
proof can be obtained against it. The
water supply is inadequate to supply the
demand, and in case of fire the pressure
is VIGOROUSLY insufficient. Every night
recently the electric lights have gone out
and left the city IN darkness for hours.

THE TROLLEY IN CHARLESTON.
City on Tenter-HOOks, and Editors
Writing Warnings.

From the News and Courier, June g.
Charleston waited anxiously for a stray
trolley car to run downtown yesterday
but it did not come. In fact it will be
several days before this can be done, as
the delay is being caused in getting the
overhead wires in shape. The company
will not turn on the main current from
the power house until every wire has been
fixed straight. All this work, however, can
soon be finished and the new schedule will
be inaugurated.
There was one important fact that was
noticeable at the trial trip Thursday af-
ternoon, and that was the manner in
which carriage horses watched the car.
With but few exceptions, every single
horse reared and pitched and tried to
break loose from the harness. It will be
the same way in the city at first, and If
drivers are not careful the animals will do
more harm than the electric cars. When
the horses become accustomed to the new
order of things, however, they will quit
getting frightened, and will not bother
about the cars any more than they do
about the old dummies.

(Editorial.)

The warning given a few days ago by
a thoughtful citizen to owners and driv-
ers of vehicles 10 look sharply after their
horses when the trolley cars begin to run
was well timed and is well worth needing.
1t is a fact, as he says, that, for reasons
best known to themselves, even well-brok-
en- and safe family horses are very shy of
the trolley on first acquaintance and run
away incontinently on its approach. The
explanation of their conduct Is probably
that they regard the rushing mass as
something in the nature Of
an elephant, and they merely
consult their ideas of safety in
fleeing it's presence. And they are not
to be condemned for their behavior. That
discretion is the better part of valor is an
axiom of the superior beings, their mas
ters, and they simply exercise proper
discretion in getting out of the way Of
what they do not clearly understand when
IL is of so much larger bulk than their
own and comes rushing and roaring at
them without Introduction or previous no.

dersatnd the gibberish of their tyrants.

and their proposed use in this place.
They know absolutely nothing of electric

All horseless cars, within our

they see a large Something looming and
| booming up the street, headed their way,
| and no bay or grey friend in advance and

| faith and harmless intentions, they natur-
ally prefer to be in another part of the
city-and bolt for it, and they cannot be
blamed, really. Most of us would do the

| beloved ancestors with like sentiments

| state to-day where the unaccustomed spec

| something of that kind galloping along
the road would send the whole community
to the swamp till the visitation had pass

At any rate the advent of the trolley on
the streets is nigh at hand. 1t will be here

when it arrives some horses-hitched TO

on-are certainly going to make excursions

and so spare themselves perhaps matter
