A NEW SYSTEM OF "TRIMMING"
PASSENGER STEAMERS SUCCESS
FULLY TESTED

A NEW SYSTEM OF "TRIMMING"
PASSENGER STEAMERS SUCCESS
FULLY TESTED.
The steamer General Sedgwick
made an excursion on Sunday last to
Columbia Grove, on Long Island
Sound, for the purpose of testing the
new water balance" system. A
large number of steamboat men in
terested in witnessing the trial of
the new mode of ballasting passen-
ger boats were on board. The ap-
paratus consists of two large fiat
tanks, placed directly aft the wheel
houses, and so situated that the
wash of the wheels is thrown into
them through an opening in the
battery" on the tear side of the
wheel-houses. The tanks on the
Sedgwick each hold four tons of wat
er, which is about the weight of the
chain boxes and water casks ordi-
narily used to ballast The boat. The
wash of the wheels fills the tanks in
thirty-eight seconds, and the turn of
wheel in the pilot-house controls a
valve that emptics either or both at
a moments notice. When the boat
runs on an even keel both tanks are
kept empty, relieving the vessel of
the entire weight of the ballast car
ried under the old system. When
the boat needs trimming" the tank
on the upper side is filled in few
seconds, restoring the equilibrium in
much less time than is required to
remove the chain ballast from side
to side. The experiment was COM
plete success in every respect. In
making the curves at He'll Gate the
working of the new ballast was
especially satisfactory. AS severe
test of the new appliance all the
chain ballast was placed on one side
of the boat, throwing her over on
her guards. The tank on the oppo-
site side was filled in fraction less
than one minute, carrying the boat
over to the other side. A public
exhibition is to be given in few
days, to which steamboat men and
others from this city, Philadelphia,
Boston and other cities will be in
vited.

She says: "One is confronted with a

n Change Of Name.
ltRICK MEETING HoUsE PosToFFIoE TO
BE CHANGED TO CALVERT.


Cecil county people, who have been
accustomed to visiting the post-of iii ce
village, known as the "Brick Meeting
House," will not take kindly to the
change OF name made by the Post -offic CO
Department, by which the Office will
hereafter be known az "Calvert." This
change will be a change to letter. writers
but the local residents OF the county al
ways alluded to the place ss"The Brickr
name 80 which they will probably con-
tinue to hang on for years, as being ham
der and even "shorter and sweeter"
than "Calvert." In allnding to the
change the Oxford, Pa, Press says:
The post master at our neighborng
village Of Brick Meeting House, Md,
has received word from the Post Off &c
Department that the nalre of the office
a, Brick Meeting Hou must be chan
ged, The reason assigned for this de-
mand IL that the name is loo long and
iDOonvenient. The postmaster has
been requested to forward the depart
ment any new name the citizens may
suggest and We understand they have
tue name under consideration. 1t will
be sore trial for the older citizens of
the place and locality to give up the
name OF Brick Meeting House, az 1t has
been known by that title time out Of
misd, both as village and post-otli ce.
We were lately told by two lady resi-
dents of that vicinity Zone of whom now
resides in Oxford y how sixty years ago,
when they were girls, Brick Meeting
House and Chestnnt Level were the
only post=ottices b1tween Elkton and
Lancaster and the mail was carried by
Messrs. Perry on little old horse and it
required a week TO make the round trip!
If we were allowed privilege. we wonld
suggest the name ofPenmar orPennsland.
Tue former Is combination OF tht
II st part OF the names OF Pennsylvania
and Maryland, aud the letter would
keep in reuem brauce, the fact thai the
land at Brick Meeting House was given
by Pom for religious and educational
purposes and was considered part Of
Pennsylvania until Mason and Dixon's
line was run In 1867.
Since writing the above we learn the
Department has adopted the name OF
Calvert,

LOOK OUT FOR HIM.

PSEUDO AGENT OF o'BRIEN's CIRCUS
yIcTIMIZEs A FEW BUsINEss MEN IN
THIS CITY.
There arrived in this city on Sunday
morning last young man giving his
name as Harry Roberts, and stating
that he was the clay out p" agent OF
John O'Brien's circus and menagerie
He registered at the Delaware House,
and on Monday morning he called a
the various newspaper offices, and re-
quested that the announcement be
made that o. Brien's circus would show
in this city on Wednesday the Goth
inst. He next proceeded to call upon
some of our business men. for the pur
pose of making contracts for the Cir
Gus. He called on William Miller,
butcher in the Second street market.
and proposed to him, that if he would
pay HIM $2 80 in advance that he
should have the contract for furnish
ing the necessary amount of beef for
the employees and the animals. Mr..
Miller refused to "bite" and the pseu-
do agent left in disgust. His next
move was procure blank sheet of
paper, upon which he marked a num-
Der spaces for advertisements. He
then called upon several business mon
and solicited advertisements for the
sheet, which he insured them would
contain the circus programme, and
would be distributed among the audi
ence attending the circus exhibitions.
He succeeded in obtaining several adj
vertisements and from some OF tfH
merchants lie obtained slight advant
upon the price named in the contrac-
He obtained small favors at numbe
of places and in payment thereof dl
tributed a number of complimentaI
| tickets.
AS his actions around the Delawar
| House, where he had registered dl
altogether suit the ideas of the clerk
he demanded of the man that he pa
his board. At this request he becam
very indignant, and threatened to ad
verlise the hotel TO the disadvantag
of the proprietor. He informed thu
clerk that he intended remaining il
the city until Tuesday, but soon afte.
the demand was made upon him for
his board ne left, since which time h'
has not returned, and it is supposed
that he has left the city.
The man in question is about 5 feet
z or 8 inches in height, has light hair,
and moustache dyed black. lie Las

says tliat tits difficult for hiEln 70 hear
having been struck with q sl9he alonf

trouble with O'BrieDs circus when 1t ex'

The office of County Chairman in
the Democratic party, will have to
be filled in about tw months time.
The last time the office went begging,
nobody wanting it, Nor do we think
the feeling is very different now. The
duties of the Office are .onernus and
hankless,. but while we pity the un-
fortunate one, I'VE hope, for the good
of the party, some good man will be
patriotic enough to take it.
