SsIDE PASSAGE BETWEEN FERSANDISA AND ST.
JOHNS RIVER, FLORIDA

This work consists entirely OF dredging the
channel, and during the past fiscal year it was
confined to Gunnieon's cut. where a low water
channel Of feet deep had been cut the pre-
cecing year, but where, on an examination
made in october, 1880, less than feet WAS
found. This shoaling commenced at the north
ern end of Gunnison's cut and extended uni
formly through it for a length Of about
1880 feet When work stopped, single cut
Of the dredge TO low water depth Of feet
hal been carried & distance Of 2,O57 feet along
the east side OF Gunnison S cut. Work hiss not
been resumed because there was no prospect
OF securing any permanent improvement from
the expenditure OF small appropriations. The
importance OF the inside passage between Sa-
vannah and Jacksonville, which actually con-
lnuss far into the interior Of Florida by means
OF the st. Johns river. in case OF the United
States becoming involved in war with a mari
time power, is very great, and its improvement
when undertaken should be on q liberal scale.

A Chester County Mans Pr. dica-
neDt.

About d week since, Eusebius h
Barnard, of POcopson, Chester county,
made an effort to gape, when he opened
his mouth so wide that he displaced the
jaw-bone. Being unable to close his
mouth, he could not communicate to
any one the extreme pain that he Sut-
fered. Some thought he had gone
crazy. He was placed in a wagon, and
his hired man drove him to Il physician.
During the drive the hired man was eX-
treInely frightened, believing he had an
insane passenger, us Mr., Barnard made
violent attempts to get possession of the
rcins, on account OF the cOlored man
driving too fast. Upon reaching the
doctors, his jaw bone was put in its
proper position, so that Mr.. Barnard
could explain matters.

SITUATION AT ALBANY.
THE WEAKNESS OF EX-SENATOR
CONKLING DISCLOSED.
He ts Conceded Out Of the Race.
Cornell and Depew Said to
be the Coming Men.

In the assembly at Albany, New
York, yesterday Mr.. Draper offered q
resolution that at twelve o'clock the
House proceeded to name two candidate,
for the vacancies in the United States
Senate, first naming the Senator to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation
Of Roscm Conkling. In case no one is
named by Il majority, the fact to be en-
tered on the journal, and the House to
proceed in like manner to name candi-
date to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Thomas C. Platt. This
was adopted.
In the Senate at noon the vote was
taken for United States Senator in place
Of Thomas G. Platt, resigned, and then
voted for successor to fill the short
term of Roscoe COnkling. No one reCeiv-
ing majority, the Senate adjourned.
In the Assembly at the same hour the
vote was first taken up for u successor
to Roscoe Conkling, and then for n Sen
atOr to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Mr.. PIatt.
The Chair announced that the House
haT ing failed to give a majority for any
can didate, the tact would be entered on
the journal of the House and the legis-
lative business would be proceeded
with.
1t was universally conceded tonight
that Conkling is entirely out of the race.
A gentleman who had been closeted
with the leaders for an hour had no
hesitaucy IN admitting that it was but
q question what candidates the party
should select to meet with unanimity
among Republicans. Cornell and
Depew" was heard on every side.
The few votes for the Governor to-day
are now said to have been cast by in
struction, and rs feelcrs for future ac-
ton. Should Governor Cornell, either
by letter or the authority of proxy |
statement, deny aspirations to the hon
Jr, the question, so far rs he is con-
,crned, will be definitely decided; but,
N the contrary, should no oral or writ
EN- notice be given, it will be under
stood that he is u candidate, and no one
loubts but that he could be elected.

RUN DOWN THE RIVER
BY n Steamer That Does Not Re-
gard Signals and Leaves Three
Struggling Men TO Their Fate
One Man Drowned.

While James FOrwood, who resides
near Edgemoor, was fishing with Irwin
W. Pierce and Robert Wilson in the
Delaware, about..3 o'clock this morning,
they we're run down by the large ocean
steamer City of Richmond. The boat
was cut in two and Mr.. ForwoOd was
drowned. The steamer was passing up
the river at the time
The men in the skitf had their signals
all right with colored lights swinging
fore md att to show where they were.
They saw the steamer coming and
thought she would pass outside of where
they lay. Instead Of doing this she
came directly at them.
1t was now too late to get out OF the
steamers path, and tie men frantically
shouted to those on the huge craft OF
their danger. Whether their cries were
heard or not is unknown They were not
needed, anyhow, and the boat rs stated,
was swamped.
1t was miracle that all the men
were not drowned. The steamer was
running at q good rate of speed and the
water was much roughened by her pas
sage. Mr.. Forwood went down when
the boat capsized, and was not seen
again.
Pierce managed to catch hold Of the
rudder chains of the steamer and Wilson
made lucky grab and seized Pierce's
legs. They managed to crawl on
board No effort had been made on
part of the City of Richmond to check
the speed or give the men any assistance.
Henry Guest, of Edgemoor, who was
fishing near and saw the accident, took
the men off the steamer and landed them
Immediately. Friends Of Mr.. Forewood
went to Philadelphia to-day for the pur-
pose of having the Captain of the City
of Richmond arrested.
Men are engaged in dragging for
Mr.. Forwood's body to-day.
Mr.. Forwood was born in Hartford
County, Md, and was a cousin to the
people of that name living in Brandy
wine Hundred. He was between 40
and 30 years of age, and was unmar-
ried.

FOR pLATr's SUCCESSOR (LoEG TgRN.)
1t requires 81 votes to elect.

| ~ IG'llllSS Oh NplCS W tlcCt.
The Administration supporters voted
at random, their object being to show
the weakness of the Conkling men.
1t is likely that the Administration
man who received the largest vote in
the Assembly to-day will become the
candidate for Platt's place, while the
second man in strength will be united
upon as the candidate to succeed Mr.
Conklng. The Democrats of the State
Legislature generally voted for ex-
United States Senator Francis Herman
and state Senator John c. Jacobs, in
accordance with the action of the Demo
cratic cancus Of last night.
There are others who are urging for
ward the names of Governor Cornell
and Mr.. Crowley, but with inditfer-
ent success. Governor Cornell and Mr..
Dcpew are too well received to have
any splits, and their supporters
consider MIR. Crowley with very little
fear.
At midnight there was no change in
the situation, and it is confidently ex-
pected that two more ballots will see
the figures running MP opposite the
names of Governor Cornell and Mr..

Governor Cornell's letter of declina-
ton it is said is in the hands Of Senator
