Long Cherished Dream of Wil mingtonians Realized in the Initial Trip Yesterday. THE SCHEDULE FOR TO-DAY. Pint lastsllmcBt of Electric Eqslpments Pat to Sstlifsctory Test Cosipll mestsry Trip to Motel Qsests sad Prieads by Offlclsls. Suburban Car No. S3, the first In readiness ror operation on the Beacoast tracks by the Consolidated Railways, LUht and Power Oomianv. made ita Initial trip to Wrightaville beach last night, leaving the city at 7:30 o'clock. Aboard the car for the special trip were several of the officials of the company and a-aumber of employes and friends, including several ladies. Tne trip was without a jar or an un favorable incident or any kind and members of the party enjoyed a most delightful ride under perfect weather conditions. General Manager A. B. Skelding, of the company, who un derstands every detail of the electric railway business from bonding aline of track to the financial management af a great system, acted as motorman and drove the car with as much ease and comfort to the travellers as if he were a veteran at the controller. While no effort was made to attain great speed, the trip was made to the beach In about 40 m'nutes and in perhaps less than that time "No. 33 was again at the junction, at Front and Princess, with a merry party of Seashore Hotel guests and residents on the beach, who came up for a complimentary ride about the city and return to Wrights- villr. Mr. Skelding says on one stretch of track by Ddlgado, the car was let out to a velocity or 40 miles an boor and it handled itself as smoothly and gracefully, almost as a Pullman. Those who were gues s of the road for the complimentary trip were highly elated and vied with one another in enthusiastic expression at the realisation of a dream long cher ished by the people of the city. The car left for the final trip to the beach for the night at 11 o'clock and returned shortly after mid night this morning. The beach "trol ley created no end of interest enthusiasm and admiration as the first one came rolling down the Princess street "pike" at 6 o'clock yesterday evening. At the junolion the sharp curve to the Front street line was turned with no great trouble and during a short pause there, a sight of the new ear was enough to draw an immense crowd. It remind ed one of circus parade times and the comment of the crowd was varied, In teresting and sometimes amusing. However, all were pleased and will stake their coin ror a ride upon the least provocation. The cars are paint ed and trimmed very much like the smaller cars of the street railway sys tem; fitted with double trucks and the best dynamos of the Westlnghouse Co. Seats are provided for 43 persons on each side of an aisle extending through the car. These are reversi ble and very comfortable. The fronts of the car are vestibuled and present a handsome appearance; the brakes and controllers of the most approved Invention. Twenty incaadescents light the cars brilliantly and the open cars are provided with rolling shades or curtains. Car No. 31 is now being unloaded at Tenth and Orange and will doubt less be ready for service this after noon. As stated yesterday the other ears will be here next week. For the first time to-day the public ill have an opportunity of patronis log the new line. The Saturday train from the city to the beach at 1 o'clock this afternoon has been cancelled, and In its stead Car No. S3 will leave the Front and Princess junction at .the M. ' fit atme nour. xne same car wu ro- turr, leaving the beaeh at 3 P. M. To-night instead of a train leaving at H p. M., a car will leave Front and Princess streets at the same hour and return, leaving the beaeh at midnight. Early In the evening two cars will leave the junction at 6:30 and 7 P. M., and both will return at 7:45 P. M. General Manager Bkelding aaid last night he was unprepared to announce a schedule for Sunday, but if all went well, the ateam equipment will go off altogether and the electric cars will be used exclusively.

The Armour Fertiliser Works, through its attorneys, Messrs. Bellamy & Peschau, yesterday answered the complaint in the libel proceedings brought by OapL N. A. Davidson against the cargo of the schooner Jos. TP. Brooks In the United Btates Court - The Fertilizer Works admits the contract as alleged in the com plaint with the explanation that the tons of guano to be-freighted wore 1,000 of 3,340 pounds each, known as long tonr, but that the delivery at Wilmington was to beat the rate of 150 tons per day in short tons of 2,000 pounds. Further answering the. complaint the claimant denies that the llbellant commenced to discharge the cargo Thursday morning as alleged," but that the discharge began on the afternoon of that day. although the claimant was ready in the morning to receive the same; that the four days thereafter the claimant requested the libellant to give him the cargo faster than it was being delivered and the said libellant failed to do the same for reasons unknown to the claimant, who was thereby put to a great disadvan tage and delay. The claimant further denies that 84 days was consumed in the discharge, but avers that eight days only was consumed even under the adverse conditions, and the claim ant further says that If the libellant had delivered to it for the first lour days the cargo as rapidly as the claim ant was willing to receive it, the cargo could easily have been discharged In six days and that the same was not discharged in that time was not the fault of the claimant but of the libel Ian'. It is further alleged that at the time the demand was made for freight the agent of the claimant telegraphed to the Armour Fertilizer Works to send the freight money and that a check was mailed for the same to the libellant at Savannah, Ga., whither he sailed. The claimant further al leges that it was not necessary ror the schooner to lie by the cargo to secure payment of the freight money. Mr. J. C. Everett is manager of the Armour Works in Wilmington, and the an swer is signed by him. Low water is again interfering with the traffic in the Cape Fear river.
