UNNECESSARY SHIFTING AT
THIRD AND FOURTH STREETS.
Willard Salisbury, attorney for the
Wilmington City Railway Company,
filed the answer to-day in chancery be-
fore Chancellor Nicholson in adjourned
term at the Wilmington Court House,
Of the railway company in the matter
of the suit by the Philadelphia, Will
mington and Baltimore Railroad Com
pany for a permanent injunction
against the trolley company crossing
its tracks.
The answer denies in toto the bill
filed by the complainants.
II denies that the proper operation
OF the railroad "necessitates" the use
of seven lines OF railroad track and
the occupation Of 100 feet of space on
bird street or necessitates the use Of
eight lines of railroad tracks at its
crossing on Fourth street and the oc-
cupation thereof a space of 235 feet on
Fourth street.
II denies that the business and traffic
Of the railroad "necessitates" the pass
age of such a great number of trains
and AYERS that the railroad could read
commodate its business and properly
perform its duties, hy greatly less
ening the number OF trains crossing
these streets and the number of tracks
thereon, If it so desired, and thereby
cause much less inconvenience and de-
lays 20 public and private vehicles and

EPWORTH CHURCH CROWDED.
THE NEW PASTOR THERE IS
PROVING TO BE VERY POPULAR.

Interesting services were held at Ep-
worth Church yesterday by the new
pastor, Rev. +. b. Short. In the even
ing the large audience room was crowd
ed and the gallery Of the church had to
be opened to accommodate the people.
A brief spirited song service, in which
the whole audience joined, preceded the
sermon. Mr.. Short preached from the
text Whatsoever thy hand findeth to
do. do it with thy might"
The sermon was listened to through
out with rapt interest. The speaker ad-
dressed his remarks mainly to the
young and urged the Importance of inn
proving ones opportunities as they
came in life. mo one can offer the ex-
cuse Of having nothing to do in Gods
vineyard Some think that because
they cannot enter the ministry or be-
come a missionary to heather lands,
there is nothing left to be done. The
most effectual work to be done is that
within your own personal sphere,
among those with whom you associate.
Win them for Christ, and you thus be-
come a part and parcel of the great ma
chinery God has set in motion to save
this world Gcd gives every young man
every young woman something TO do;
all you have to do is to follow His lead
ing. and opportunities for doing good
will present themselves On every hand.
Mr.. Short is proving to be exceeding
ly popular at EpwOrth, and from pres
ent indications the large auditorium OF
the church, which seats nearly a thou
sand people, will net be sufficient to ac-
cOmmOdate the crowds that attend The
Snndav evening services.

New Castle, April 12.-After nearly
a month of practical experience with a
street railway and a rapid transit half
hour service to Wilmington, the peo-
pie Of New Castle and neighborhood
now realize, to man, that the advent
of he Wilmington and New Castle
Electric Railway has been the greatest
Doom that ever struck New Castle.
The new electric railway, as re-
ality, is everything that was promised
the people by its advocates when first
projected. II has brought every ad-
vantage to New Castle and no disad-
vantages. although its opponents pre-.
dicted all sorts of ruinous things if
New Castle were tied to Wilmington
BY electricity. When the people began
60 crowd the cars and demonstrate that
constant and quick access to Whining
Ton and the outer world was just what
hey wanted opponents of the electric
railway declared that 1t was nothing
out a great big craze that would prove
a costly experiment.
But now a month has nearly passed
and the same preponderance of travel
s convincing that the people know
what they want and intend TO push
along an enterprise which so greatly
aids in the pursuit of happiness.
