PEELED to proceed to Philadelphia to-day.
The cargo viii be nghtered there and
shipped by rail to Wilmington.
The Queen Amelie arrived from 1quique,
Chill. on December "a and anchored OF
the p. and r. pier awaiting an opportu-
nifty TO discharge her cargo. Saturday be-
ing Christmas Day the work was not
started and that night the vessel lay and
tossed in the storm but nothing serious
happened. Yesterday, however, when foes
Of snow covered ice started down the
river the vessel encountered trouble. She
dragged her anchor four hundred yards
and came near going aground, below
Pigeon Point. The captain, pilot, and
crew Of the vessel remained awake last
night on the alert for fear the vessel
would go aground. This morning it was
decided to proceed to Philadelphia to dis
charge the cargo at a wharf there.

phias lines are still prostrated. even
though the storm I'm that city was not
so severe as In Wilmington. In fact,
Wilmington and the greater part of
Delaware seemed 90 be the center of
the big blizzard Of Christmas day.
In another day IL is expected that
all Of the trolley lines in this city
and those entering the city, excepting
the Darby line, will have restored their
regular service. General Superinten-
dent S. s. Hof of the Wilmington City
Railway Company at noon said he ex-
pected all the city lines Of his COM
pany to be opened by this evening.
Il think we can safely predict that
cars will be running over all our city
lines by nightfall," said Mr.. Hon THE
entire lines may not be opened but a
great part Of each will. After the city
lines are opened we viii try 20 open
the Darby line. We are now working
on the Maryland avenue line. 70 give
the people Of that section facilities for
riding TO work. and expect it TO be
opened by evening"
Mr.. Hom explained that the Fourth
street line from. Monroe street west
was left until among the last because
the Front street, Sixth, Seventh and
Eighth street lines OF both railways
were among the first opened and fur
nished an outlet for persons who gem
orally use the Fourth street line. The
Vandever avenue line was opened by
five o'clock last evening. and the River
view line at noon was opened beyond
Riverview cemetery. A large force Of
men is at work on the South Whining

nobody seemed particularly anxious "a

not. Inquirers were referred to Man
