CARS ON NEXT SUNDAY? Company May Pat Llae Into Operstioa as Far as Delfado Somethior. of the Equipment for Both the Local and Beach Traffic. Progress on the work of the exten sion of the trolley system to the beach by the Consolidated Railways, Light and Power Company is being anx iously watched with much gratifica tion by the public. A big week's work was accomplished, ending last night. and next week will see still greater things if the weather remains favora ble. The re-ballasting, re-tieing and re- grading of the track has been com pleted to a point beyond Delgado and with a few small gaps the poles for the trolley wire are all up to Bradley's Creex and some nearly to Wrightsville. The trestle force has completed a single line of poles on the Bradley Creek trestle and is now at work on the long trestle. To give the public a foretaste of the delightful travel that is to follow a few weeks hence, it is highly probable that trolley cars will be run next Sunday to Delgado. If this is the case, the com pany may look for a tremendous traffic, even for that short distance. The line to the cemetery will not be completed until the beach line is in order. The Stab learns unofficially that the new cars for the beach line will be here July 20th but those who have watched the progress of the work say that the smaller cars will be hustling pleasure seekers to the ocean's side be fore that time. The beach cars will be the very best money can buy and will be admirably adapted to the traffic for which .they are designed. They are now being built by the John Stevenson Com pany, or JSUzabetn, JN. J. They will be 43 feet over all with long vestlbul ed platforms. They will have center aisles with 25 cross seats on each side providing for 50 persona. The cars will have no running boards but steps at the ends. Running boards on fast cars are dangerous and passengers will not be allowed on the platforms. The trucks will be M. C. B. standard. equipped with extra powerful brakes. Two No.. 56 Westinghouse motors to each car will give over 100 horse power, which will enable them to at tain a speed of 40 miles an hour if necessary. Besides the rour passenger cars the company is to have a baggage and freight car which will be finished handsomely. The headlights, regis ters, chandeliers and all other appur tenance will be the very best.. All the cars will be new throughout. A combination baggage and passen ger car with electric heaters will be put on for the Winter service. Yesterday the Stab made brief ref erence to the improvement of the local equipment. Each car will have brand new U. S. electric headlights; New Haven registers; Peck ham trucks; Westinghouse 12 A. motors, 25 horse power each, or 50 horse-power to the car. The car bodies are built by Jack son & Sharp and are as good as new and so painted and finished as to give the impression of being just from the shops. The solid orange and tusean red trimmings will be the standard of the Consolidated Company. Cornier. Ii Their Caioe. Messrs. Reston Stevenson and H. B. Short, Jr., the two University students, who are "paddling their little canoe" all the way from Chapel Hill to Wil mington, wrote yesterday that they had reached Elizabeth town and would be in Wilmington this afternoon. They paddle along in the cool of the mornings and evenings and tie up un der some sheltering tree along the bank during the noon hours. Aa Excursion Prom Durham. There were about 600 passengers on the excursion from East Durham, which arrived yesterday morning. The visitors had six hours in the city and at the beaches and returned last e veil ing. Many of them expressed delight at the trip and hoped that other ex cursions from the same section may be run later in the season. St. Paul's Services. In the absence of the pastor, Dr. A. G. Voigt, Mr. Henry W. A. Hanson will conduct the services at St. Paul's Lutheran church to-day as follows: Morning service, 11 A. M. in English; evening service, 6 P. M. in English.

It was in regard to that great meeting of the States' firemen that Capt McNeill came down to talk with Mr. VonGlahn. "On account of favorable legislation regulating the fire departments of the State, secured at the last session," said Capt. McNeill, "the meeting wiH.be the most largely attended and valuable in the history of the Association. Mr. VonGlahn tells me that the financial condition of affairs was never better and the exhibition of apparatus and demonstrations by expert firemen from a distance will all go to make up a big tournament. The premium list will be out in a few days and while the prizes will not be as large or as numer ous as those offered at Wilmington two years ago when there were Inter State features, the meeting will draw large crowds and will be a big success." Capt. McNeill was cordially receiv ed by hia hosts of friends here. He returns to-morrow to Fayetteville. BIQ FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION. Dr. Calvla S. BlickweU Will Deliver the Oratloa Elaborate Preparations. The people of Southport are again hard at work arranging for a big Fourth of July celebration and the attraction will doubtless interest many Wilmington people on that day. Last year the celebration was a most en joyable affair and was largely at tended. The Southport people pro pose to repeat the success and invite the public to co-operate with them to that end. A citizen's meeting was held in the Court House Thursday night and the proper committees appointed. M. O. Guthrie, Esq., chairman of that on arrangement, yesterday telegraphed a very cordial invitation to Dr. Calvin 8. Blackwell to deliver the oration for the occasion. Before leaving in the afternoon Dr. Blackwell telegraphed his acceptance, with acknowledgement of the compliment. DEVELOPING TRDCKINQ INDUSTRY. The Carolina NortheroRaiIroad Employs aa ladastrisl Agent for the Purpose Florence Times, Hth. The Carolina Northern Railroad Company, extending from Lumber ton, N. 0., to Marion, S. C, is under taking to develop the territory through which it runs, for its own benefit as well as that of the country. Not long ago the company distributed a lot of strawberry plants among the farmers on and near the line, to encourage the industry, and there were good results. Now, in order to promote the trucking industry further, the company has employed Mr. K. F. Long as industrial agent to' look after the interests of the farmers. Mr. Long will meet the truckers at different points on the line at stated times and will hold a sort of trucking school, which will be of un told benefit to all the farmers. HURT IN DASH ON RACE TRACK. Mr. A. B. Owathmey Upset la Sprint With Jack Flyon's Trotter. The New York World says of an accident which befel Mr. A. B. Gwathmey, who is well known here: "In a lively sprint on the Empire track yesterday A. B. Gwathmey, a member of the Cotton Exchange, had a narrow escape from serious injury In a collision. He was driving his fast horse Tiverton in a dash with a horse driven by Jack Flynn. After passing the wire Mr. Gwathmey pulled to the outside fence to make the turn. As he did so Flynn's horse bore down upon him at a thundering pace and up set his cart, Mr. Gwathmey -was caught under we cart, but by pluckily holding to the lines he was dragged only a ahort distance before the animal came to a stop. "When picked up the driver was dazed and a long cut had been made In his scalp. After being attended by a doctor at the club-house he drove home behind another horse." Steamer Franklin Pearce. The new freight steamer Franklin Pearce, recently built at-Shallotte, N. 0., and named for its owner, Mr. Franklin Pearce White, is expected in port next week for official entry at the Custom House.

The youngster Erause, whom Manager Mace secured from the Pennsylvania League, was on the slab for the reju venated Giants and' pitched magnifi cent ball, allowing but five well-scat tered hits, one of them being a scratch, and remaining steady throughout the nine quick spasms that required less than ninety minutes in the playing. There was lots of ginger in the game, too, and with the increased attendance,' it reminded one of former days when Stewart, Stafford and the powerful "Oy" Voorhees used to. do stunts for the locals on the diamond. The new men showed up well and demonstrated that they have fast ball playing in their make-up. Hines gathered a couple of well placed hits, one of them being for two bases and each of the other new men except Lawson, who made up lost time by great work at short, each got a safe one. The one by Deiters was double and with two men on bases. Up until Wilmington's half of the fourth, the teams were up and dow n almost in their order, and Erause put only four over the plate in the second to retire the side. In the fourth King Kelly's funeral march began with Hines' drive to left, a pass to Dommel and a sacrifice by McGinnis, Lawson flew to short, but Dieters, next up, hit squarely to centre for two cushions, sending Hines and Dommel across the pfate and back to the bench. Holland went out, second to first. Greensboro came up in the fifth and but three men faced the east. Pool beat the air and Cook and Walters were out from the infield. The third run came in Wilmington's half when O'Neill singled to centre and was sac rificed by Fisher. Erause hit to short and forced O'Neill at third. Then Hines came up with an Indian whoop and sent one for two cushions down in the centre gully, scoring Erause. Dommel was out, third to first. It looked dismal for Wilmington in the eighth when the visitors filled ap the bases on a single by Cook, an error by Erause and a pass to McTeer, but young Erause steadied down, the team braced itself behind him and but one lonesome Kritter survives the fight and can claim the honor of crossing the pan. With the three men on their toes around the diamond, Kelly hit to Dommel, who retired Cook at the plate. Fox flew out to left and by chance Walters managed to score. The third man, Sullivan, was fanned. Mr. R. H. Gwaltney again officiated as umpire and gave universal satifac- tion. There were no kicks and the umpire and the teams should be given credit for clean, wholesome sport.

Pitcher Dunn was released by Manager Mace last night. Some of the two and three State leagues are looking this way for one or two of Wilmington's new men. The High School Champions will go to Bennettaville, 3. 0., for a series of three games, beginning- to-morrow. Hines made two hits out of four times at the bat, one of them a two bagger. He played left field, too, like a veteran. r Krause pitched a good game. He gave only two bases on balls, struck out five men and held down the Krit ters to five hits. A Greensboro player offered to bet yesterday that with our reorgan ized team, Wilmington would take two from Charlotte. There ought to be a big crowd to witness the first game of the week with the beautifully colored but irri table insects from Charlotte. Krause is improving both in his box work and his batting. What he needs is to "overcome his nervousness when the tide of. play turas against him. The team will be out in bright new uniforms Monday. One of them was on display at Gerken's last night. The players say they are the "finest in the league." Dietera, the new third baseman, was one of the star players yesterday. He fielded his position faultlessly and made a two-base hit that gave Wil mington two of those runs. The Tall Fox of Randleman was again unable to hit the mustard seed thrown at him from the box; and he had no opportunity for enacting his sky-scraping propensities on fly balls. The horse editor bet twenty cents with Kurious King Kelly on the re sult of the game. He won the bet, but the King decamped with the two dimes. Please remit in New York ex change. Kairns, the new Washington American League pitcher, will be here to-day and go in the game to-morrow.

It is pretty-well un derstood that the officials of the con solidated systems have been agreed upon and that there will be practically little change in the operation of the Plant System, except that the head quarters of the merger will be for the present at Wilmington. There has been little doubt for some time that the headquarters would remain there for awhile at least The accounting de partment of the Plant System will be moved there in all probability, but the other departments and a number of the officials of the Plant System will remain in charge as at present, except their titles will be changed. Mr. Emerson is looked upon as the comingeneral traffic manager. Gen eral Agent Menzies of the Plant Sys tem, who has been North with Mr. Emerson for several days, it is under stood, will remain as freight traffic manager or assistant general freight agent. It is pretty generally believed, too, that Col. Wrenn will remain in charge of the passenger business of the two systems. - No official announcements of ap pointments will be made, of course, until the consolidation is in effect, but there is every reason to believe that nearly, if not all, of the new officials have been settled upon, and will be in charge when the consolidation takes place July 1. There will, it is understood, be a considerable change in the methods of operation of the traffic departments of the two systems to meet the require ments of the consolidation. Where General Superintendent Denham of the Plant system will land- in the deal la unknown, but it is said that he will be in charge of the operating depart-l ment as at present. .
