IMPROVEMENT OF THE sUsouFuANNA Col

IMPROVEMENT OF THE SUsQUEHANNA Col.
Craighil has submitted to Congress a special
report on the improvement of the susquehanna
river He says the work above Havre de Grace
recommended in his report of March, 1881, has
not been done, on account of the insufiiciency
of the appropriation. The citizens of Port De-
posit and Lapidum desire the Improvement ex.
tended that far and the citizens of Havrc de
Grace desire continuous improvement below
that point which would increase the depth OF
the channel, ut mean low water, from twelve
to fifteen feet. The effect of dredging alone is
insufficient to maintain a tenfoot channel be.
tween Point Concord light and the deep water
near Spesutia Island The upper portion of the
channel, through what is known as the DEVILS
Island shoal, has not been drcdged since 1859,
and in 1857 the effect of that work was practi-
cally obliterated.
After giving an account of the work done from
1865 to 1878 and the influences exerted on the
channel through natural causes, the report pro-
ceeds:
"Some persons have had hopes of the forma-
ton by natural causes of a channel to the east
ward of Donehue's battery. Examinations re-
| Gently made do not show any increase of depth
| the line for the main channel would involve very
| radical changes in the direction of greatest flow
| of current and involve large expenditure of
money, it has been considered advisable to ad.
| here to the present line of channel giving it n
| greater detection to eastward at lower end to
| diminish the injurious effects ofSpesuta Island.
| 1t is believed that channel can be established
| and maintained by system of detached ettics
| or defectors rising to half-tide level covering
the entire direction between Stumps Point
and the deep water above Spesutia Island, dis
| lance of about four miles.
| "The work could be done for $40, 900 if the
money were all available at one time; $1,000
would also be required for dredging at the lower
| end $40 900 to S12, 900 would be required TO
maintain the jetties and keep beacons and lights
upon them. The residents of Port Deposit are
| DESTROYS of having q channel cut through the
| shoal above the railroad bridge and along tho
west bank of the river, with view to relieving
| the ice gorge which usually forms across the
| head of Watson's Island. A channel so feet wide
and II feet deep would cost about $4,000.
Statistics of the water-borne trade are append
ed, showing the total value of exports of grain,
lumber &c. of Port Deposit, $i53 600 and OF

at Havre de Grace, Sl,sO00oO The report
closes:
alt is to be hoped that in any future appro,
prations for the Susquehanna river near Havre
de Grace it may be explicitly stated for what
object the money is to be applied, whetherabove
or below the BRIDGE the fishery station, &c"
The exports of grain, lumber, hay, &c, from
Lapidum are also very large, and the contem
plated improvement would be of great import

ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL.-On Monday an
attempt of three prisoners to escape from the
Bel Air Jail was discovered and frustrated On
the day named Deputy Sheriff Carman had oc-
cason to use the poker belonging to the stove,
which is situated in the hall on the first floor
Not finding it in its accustomed place lie search
ed the cells. In the one occupied by
Stackhouse, John IL. Ferguson and George W.
Stillwell he found under one of the beds at least
a cart lead of stones and plaster. At first he
could not see whence this accumulation of rub
bish had come, but upon examining the outer
wall he came upon large hole, which had been
artful!y concealed by piece of white muslin
the surface of which was covered with flour
paste, and made to resemble the adjoining
whitewashed surface. The holehad probably been
made W iih the poker and with portion of one
ofthc iron bedsteads which the cell contains.
The poker could not be found, nor is ii known
who gave it to the prisoners They were re-
moved into other cells, where strict watch
will be kept upon them. Stillwell is in Jail on
the charge of shooting a colored man, named
George Washington, at lavre de Grace, last
December Ferguson is awaiting trial for steal
ing Rev. A. j. Barrow horse, and Stackhouse
was sent to Jail on the charge of threatening TO
kill Mr.. Thomas Mousdale, of Abingdon.

announcement of Manufactures.

Every effort towards the establishment of
manufactures of various kinds in Maryland
is step in the right direction, The re-
sources of our State, and especially of Har-
ford county, for such purposes, are unrivalled,
and all that is needed are capital and enterprise
To put machinery in motion and give employ.
ment to thousands of persons. According
ly we are gratified to see that Mr. Greenfield
has introduced in the House of Delegates sew
eral bills, prepared Mt the instance OF the
Baltimore Board of Trade which, if they be-
come laws, will encourage capitalists to in
vest their money in manufacturing enter
prises in this State These bills all relate to
tine exemption from taxation of machinery
and other manufacturing appliances in Mary
land They are not in the interest of Balti-
more city alone, but apply to the counties as
well, the county commissioners being au-
thorized, whenever they shall deem it eXpe-
dent for the encouragement of the growth
and development of manufactures in their
counties to abate nil taxes levied upon any
mechanical tools, implements or machinery,
whether they be worked by hand or steam
provided such abatement be extended to all
persons engaged in the same branch of bust
ness
Here in Hartford we have everything need
ti tor the manufacture of agricultural nipple
ments and machinery, yet our farmers are
compelled to send to Michigan for their
plows; to Illinois and Ohio for reapers and
mowers; to New York and other States for
horse rakes and to Wisconsin for straw cut
tiers. Even the smaller agricultural nipple
ments such as shovels, forks hoes and rakes,
are not made in our county, but thousands OF
these indispensable tools are sent here from
the North and West and sold at n profit to
the manufacturer and his agent.
Now why should not all these articles be
manufactured in Hartford county? We have
abundant supplies of the most valuable iron
ore, and our timber is so excellent that agents
are constantly securing the county and buy
ing timber to send TO distant States, which
afterwards comes back To Ms IN the shape OF
agricultural implements
We hope Mr. Greenticli's bills will become
laws, and then our County Commissioners
should Immediately offer inducements for the
establishment of agricultural implement man.

The appointment of Col. Webster and the
removal of MIR. Thomas we have regarded as
events in the near future ever since the inuagu-
ration of President Arthur. The legerdemain of
Mr.. Stockbridge ut the Frederick convention
placed Mr.. Creswell in the position of leader of
the Republicans in the State, giving him power
to cast majority of the electoral vote at Chica-
go in antagonlsm to the almost unanimous wish
of the Republican voters. Under the action Of
that convention, the President had perfect
right TO regard all who oppose Mr. CreswelPs
wishes as factonists and has acted accordingly
The new collector, Colonel Webster is, how
ever, Il very estimahle gentleman, and having
had four years experience as collector of the
port under Andrew johnson, will doubtless be
able to administer the duties of the office TO
the satisfaction of our citizens generally
THE american of Tuesday says: 1t appears to
be pretty generally understood that in the mat
tel of patronage the friends of the new collector
Colonel Webster, are apt to be disappointed,
and as 4 consequence there is a general feeling
of uneasiness among those Marylanders in this
city who have been doing the bowling and ex-
pected to reap the reward, over the fact that in
the matter of appointments removals will
only be made for cause, and not simply because
those under one regime are to be put out to give
place TO the friends of the new appointee. The
DAYS when wholesale removals were quadrcn-
NAL occurrence are about past, and subordi.
mates are apt to remain, no matter how many
chiefs are removed or appointed. How the new
regime propose to fix the cards for new deal
is not exactly known, but it can be pretty safe
ly asserted that familiar faces will remain at
their various desks in the Custom-llouse, and
the routine Of that admirably conducted cstab-
lshment is not likely TO be affected by the
displacement of well known and tried subor-
dinates for green and wornout political hacks.
Col. Webster still remains at home in Bel Air,
and is not expected in Washington before his
confirmation. Comment as to the effect of the
determinations upon the future of Republican
politics in Maryland is still rife, and while
nothing is said derogatory to either of the sue
cessful candidates personally, the influences
which are known to have secured their appoint
mcnt bode no good TO the welfare of the organ
ization in the years to come A feeling of disap.
pointment, dissatisfaction aud doubt pervades
all, even those who claim it for n victory.

Mm. EDITOR In the summary of the local OPP
ton bill which you published in IAt -EgiS of Jan
2uth, you say 'one OF the amendments proposed
To the bill Is TO prohibit the sale of cider IN less
quantities than twenty gallons"
IL II Is seriously contemplated by any member
OF the Hartford delegation, to propose and advo-
cate such an amendment the eager inquiry on
every hand is, what is the objectf' is ii to com
mend the law TO public approval by making it a
better temperance law! If so, wherein would
this proposed amendment make the law more ef-
fective, and so be more worthy of ratification by
the peopeI The bill, without amendment, pro-
hbits the sale of all spirtuous fermented or in
toxicating liquors, of whatever origin" Is not
Intoxicating cider as clearly understood in this
provision as Intoxicating whisky? Undoubtedly
1t What, them will the proposed amendment
add to the prohibiting clause of the bill Moth
ing more nor less than sweet or Misunderstanding
cider in less quantities than twenty gallons al
else is prohibited without it, and cider that is not
intoxicating, if there be such, alone remains to be
advocates in Hartford county and everywhere else
have been called extremists and fanatics !" hut
which of them ever advocated the prohibition of
the sale of sweet cider2 No such measure has
ever been mentioned by the friends of temper
ance. We hear of it for the first time. except as
threat OF The LIQUOR interest since the Legisla-
ture assembled.
What would be the effect of So ex IRENE a meas
ure! 1t may be answered: ut would prevent
the opening of cider shops under the pretense of
which the old traffic would he carried on" True
but to limit the sale to five, even to one gallon
would meet this case well. But cider shops
cannot exist under a law that absolutely prohibits
the sale OF all ntoxicants. In what county in this
State under our local option laws can you find
open cider shopsf The effect of such provision
however, would be very manifest at the election
for the ratification of the law. 1858 voters of
Hartford county, a majority of 1908 voted to have
the sale of Intoxicating liquors submitted to the
people in the form of Il local option law but not
one voted to have the question of sweet cider sub
mtted.
The announcement, Mr.. Editor, of this proposed
amendment has created a deep and widespread
agitation among the friends of temperance which
awaits with great anxiety some more definite
statement of the matter, hoping that when it
comes 1t will not disappoint the confidence which
has been reposed in the good faith" of those
whom the people have chosen as their represent
atives. LOCAL OPrJONIsT
