NEVS OF NEW CASTLE
A new PARK.


THE NEW CASTLE TROLLEY LINE
TO BE EXTENDED TO THE
SHORE.
A new excursion park is to be estab-
lished near Cofield's Beach This will
be made possible by the extension Of
the lines of the New Castle Electric
Company. For some time it has been
considered an excellent idea to con-
tinue this line to a point on the Della
ware river, so that not only dancing,
but bathing could be. enjoyed, as well
as the cooling breezes which nightly
cool the heated air of Summer from the
bay. Accordingly, the management Of
the trolley road is making preparations
to begin the continuance Of the line
from Seventh and South streets to the
front range light, a distance Of two and
three-quarter miles.
Suitable buildings will be erected,
and it is proposed to have the line in
operation by August. 1t will only take
forty-dye minutes to make the run
from Fourth and Market streets, Will
mington. to the river front. AT this
end an excellent view can be obtained
of the bay, the point being exactly on
the line coming up. The beach is prin-
cipally fine sand, while it is so gradual
in its slope, that one can wade nearly
half a mile from shore in some places,
without getting any deeper than ones
arm-pits.
If desired permission cannot be OBJ
tained to cross the tracks of the Penn
sylvania railroad at grade, the line will
break at that point and transfers be is
sued The work is to be begun in
March and pushed forward with all
possible speed, in order to get the Sum-
mer travel. The road will be great
convenience to residents in Dobbins-
Vile, and the condition Of the streets
in that section will be greatly i'm
/ proved.

THE GALE ON THE RIVER
TUGBOAT FORCED TO PUT BACK
ON ACCOUNT or HIGH SEAS.

ON ACCOUNT OF HIGH SEAS.
A fierce northwest gale began. on the
Delaware river yesterday afternoon,
and last night was still raging. The
high wind prevented flooding at many
places at high water, near o'clock, as
there was an unusually big tide run
ming during Saturday night and yes
terday morning.
The big tide was due to the easterly
gales that had been raging on the coast
near the Delaware Breakwater for the
past few days, and the strong easterly
winds blowing up the bay and river
Saturday night.
The gale springing up about this
time forced the water eastward and
doubtless prevented heavy damage.
Only a few vessels were anchored in
the harbOr at the time the gale began.
The velocity of the wind at various
times was estimated at from fifty TO
seventy-fve miles an hour.
The tug Mary Louis was on her way
down the Delaware in search of tOws,
but was forced to return because Of the
powerful waves that were running. The
white caps on the river were numerous
and were as big as those frequently
seen at Atlantic City. The coverings
over the bunkers of the Louise were
washed off several times, and the coal
was swept into the engine-rOOm.
Reports from farther down the river
were to the effect that there was a
fearful time all Saturday night and
yesterday, and vessels arriving here
during the day reported that the gale
was as severe as those which rage at
times along the Atlantic coast Dur
ing the night there was a very heavy
rainfall. From the Brealxwater came
word yesterday afternoon that the
wind was blowing at the rate of twen-
ty-seven miles an hour from the south
west and that it was hazy. 1t was
feared that vessels in the bay and
lower Delaware river would have a ter
rible experience last night.
