Impossible by Surface Water.

The promise of the officials Of the Sc
attic Electric Company to have electric
cars running on First avenue by Decem-
Der Is was not fulfilled yesterday, the
completion of the roadbed having been
delayed by the present rainstorm- Only
the block between Union and Pike street
remains to be finished after which the
trolley wire will be strung and the oper~
alton of the road begun.
only one short gap remains to be
filed" said General Manager Dickinson
OF the electric company yesterday. with
In four hours after the roadbed between
Union and Pike streets is completed
we shall be ready to run cars on First
avenue. The present storm has greatly
delayed work, the rain water washing the
concrete away as fast as IT can be laid.
Under these conditions 1t is impossible
for the contractors to do anything.
''As soon as the weather permits the
compilation of the roadbed we shall string
our wires and begin running cars. The
fact that the trolley wire Is not already
strung need not cause people any I'M
easiness. Within four hours after the
track is ready for cars we shall have the
wires in place.
1T Is impossible to make any prediction
as to when the road will be opened hut
II will certainly not be many days. Good
weather Is the only thing necessary"

SHIPPING MEN ARE ANXIOUS
They Fear That Big Bark Nav Have
Eoundered
Special to The Evening Journal

Special to the Evening Journal.
New Castle, Oct. 26.-SOme anxiety
is felt in shipping circles over the fail
ure of the British bark Dunstaffnage
Captain Forbes. TO be reported ag hay-
ing reached HiOgo, Japan.
Il was on June IS, at 11.20 a. m.
that the bark left the Delaware Break
water astern and began her long voy-
age with a valuable cargo of case oil
aboard. She was preceded about two
hours by the German schoolship Her.
zogin Sophie Charlotte, bound for tn.
same port, and which reached HiogC
some days ago. There is not a sea
faring man but who believes that the
Dunstaffnage should have won the
race, for she is much the speedier YES
sci.
The hope is expressed that the bark
has been delayed by head winds and
not by disaster. On her last voyage
to Hiogo she collided with and sunk
steamer on the equator With =
huge hole in her bow Captain Forbes
turned the bark's prov towards the
Delaware Breakwater, which he final
ly reached.
The Dunstaffnage Is now 135 days
out.
