CHIEF ENGINEER JEFFERSON
HERE OVERSEEING LIGHT
HOUSE BOATS, DISPATCHED TO
MAINE.
Chief Engineer John II. jefferson
who is experimenting the United States
service in this district, and
who has been in Wilmington looking
after the work at the Pusey and Jones
Company's shipyard, on the steamer
Wisteria, has been ordered from Will
mingtOn to the coast of Maine, and is
now well on his way.
The lighthouse steamer America has
stranded on Bradbury Island. Me-, and
still remains in a dangerous position
It is thought that, with favorable
weather, she will be floated with the
aid Of pontoOns, and it is for this work
that Mr. Jefferson was ordered to Will
mington.
The America was loaded with oil and
supplies for lighthouses along the
coast and has now been lightened OF
most of her cargo, which has been
stored in the steamer John Wise, and
lighter Margery, and was taken TO Port
land yesterday.

BY TROLLEY TO ELSMERE.

A BIG GANG OF MEN Is ENGAGED
IN THE WORK OF CONSTRUC-
TION
The Wilmington and Elsmere cleo
trio railway will be constructed and IN
operation in a few weeks. The work
was begun at the Elsmere enG of The
line yesterday, and $50 men are prose-
cutin6 it with vigor. the intention he
ing to get it done by October 1.
The line will start from Baltimore
and Western avenues. in Elsmere, AMI
come to Northern avenue. and then fol-
low it along the west side of the II. &
o. railroad to the new road, or the con-
tinuatlOn of Front street. At Silver
brook the line will connect with the
Wilmington City Railway for all points
in the city.
Traffic arrangements have been male
between the two companies and IL is
probable that system of exchange or
transfer tickets will be so fixed that
persons can come to any part of the
city. This will prove a severe blow to
the Wilmington and Brandywine
Springs Railway Company.

THROUGH TO new CASTLE.
ELECTRIC CARS RUNNING OVER
RAILROAD AND BRIDGE.
FIRST CAR TAKEN OVER THE
NEW FROGS AT THIRD AND
RAILROAD AT NOON TO-DAY-A
WILMINGTON CITY CAR.

The adjoining city Of New Castle and
the suburban district of South Will
mington are now connected with the
heart of this city by Through tracks of
electric railway.
All the work on Third street cross
ing, where the trolley lines cross the
''Pennsy" railroad tracks at grade, was
completed at noon to-day and a test car
was run over the crossing at 1905,
noon. 1t was the Wilmington City
Railway Companys East Fourth street
car, running usually from Fourth and
Market streets to the railroad.
So smoothly did the car run across
the network of tracks that Superin-
tendent Miller decided to start the New
CASTLE cars over, too, and several ran
direct firm Fourth and Market this af-
ternoOn.
I'VE expect to be going over the cross
ing with our New Castle cars tO-mOr-
row morning" said Mr.. Mifier. Eve
have at last overcome the obstacle 10
trolley traffic to and from New Cas-
tle."
Third street bridge is getting in
much better shape and electric cars
were running over the structure fol
have all the new machinery in ruuine
order by Thursday, as machinists are
actually at work to-day finishing M
the new gearing. Repairs have not vel
been completed to the west side of tht
bridge which was smashed in by the
packet Alice last week.
A machinist of the Pusey and Jones
Company, which is supplying the new
gearing, states that the new machinery
is strong enough ITO run the draw
smolJthly for a longtime, although there
is entirely too much traffic on the rivei
at that point to successfully maintain
a drawbridge without accident Som'
| days 100 turns have been made.
