On Tuesday the bill reported by Sena-
tor Kellogg appropriating s50o, 900 for
the improvement of the Mississippi river
passed the Senate without objection and
was sent to the House for concurrence.
There will be some opposition to the
measure in the House, but the passage of
the bill is confidently anticipated. The
appropriation is intended for expenditure
under the direction of the Mississippi
River Commission. There is proyiso
which prohibits the construction of
levees for tue sole purpose of protecting
lands from overflow, but they can be
built if in the opinion of the Commits
sion the work is necessary to deepen the
channel or otherwise improve the nayi-
CATION of the river.

THE ARIZONA OREVAssE.

At a meeting of the Police Jury Of this
parish held yesterday resolution was
adopted appropriating the sum Of $500
to be used in attempting to close the
Arizona crevassc, provided the parish
authorities of Iberyille will make sim
liar appropriation ard assist in the pro-
posed work. The people living in the
neighborhood of the break and in those
portions Of Ascension parish affected by
tho waters Of the crevasse have offered
to furnish the necessary labor tn pros
ecute the work, provided that the ma
terial is supplied them and the laborers
are fed. MI. C.Z. Blouin, member Of
our Police Jury, was authorized to pro-
coed to Iberville and seek the co-opera-
ton of the authorities of that parish, and
also to interview Gov. McEnery with a
view to obtaining some cid from the
State. The depth Of water flowing
through the Arizona break is said by
persons familiar with the locality and
the facts of the case to average not more
than two feet, aud it is believed that
with a full supply Of material this de-
vastating break can be readily closed.
The relief which success would afford to
= large section of thickly populated and
fertile country makes it we'll worth while
on the Police jury has
truly remarked, if this crevasse is closed,
the people whose lands are submerged by
it will be able to make crop this year,
and it is better to expend $500 to render
them self-supporting than it will be to
incur rs great OF q greater expense in
rations to one or two hundred
INDECENT families. We hope to report
next week that work has been started on
the Arizona break.

Opponents of the Israel ticket having
circulated a report that Judge Cheevers
had expressed a determination to revoke
the appointment of Mr. Israel as Deputy
Sheriff should he be elected and qualify
as Mayor, we are glad to be able to deny
the absurd rnmor OH the best authority,
the Judge having assured Mr.. Israel that
the statement is unauthorized and incor-
rect. The pretext for tile report was the
assumption that the positions of Mayor
and Deputy Sheriff are Incompatible un-
der the constitution of 1879 and can not
be held by one man at the same time.
Of course Judge Cheevers does not en-
terrain such an opinion, and we doubt if
any reputable lawyer in the State would
seriously contend for moment that the
constitutional prohibition extends to the
position Of Deputy Sherilf-the agent
only Of a constitutional officer; and the
parties who have circulated this rumor
must have very poor opinion of Judge
Cheevers' sense of justice or propriety if
they believe him capable of arbitrarily
attacking all efficient court officer on
such flimsy pretense, aud especially in
the face of the fact that this gentleman
has held for several years without obiec-
ton the very positions which a few in
terested parties now affect to believe in
compatible. Such action would be SO
palpably inspired by personal pique and
i'll will that it is an insult to the iutelli-
gence Of Judge Cheevers to assume that
he would be guilty of it.

Masonic lodge. Suffice it to say that truth
fully can it be said of perfect lodge OF
Masons, that it is a place representing more
the works Of Cod than of man.
sEcoSD-THE woRsH1rFUL MASTER,

My brother, You have accepted the office
of Worshiptul Master of this lodge, rendered

Your lodge has just attained its majority

trusted to you by your confding brethren.
1onr responsibilities are great. BY sccia-
You are to be at AL times OH the most social
terms with Your brethren. This is easily
accomplished through 1raternal visitation
among your members. You, sir, are a
minister of the gospel and the head of
church: your experience must have taught
you that that church is the most successful
and prosperous whose members are regular
ly visited by its pastor; so can assure you
that that lodge is the most successful and
prosperous whose Master regularly and
fraternany visits his members. Free
masonry is, in a very large degree. an insti-

THE CHILE AND PERU JoBBRRY.-
The President sent to the Senate yes
terday the correspondence in the State
Department relative to Chile and
Peru affairs, and New York Herald
correspondent who has been enabled
TO SEQ the contents sums the matter
up in the following conclusion to his
dispatch:
"That is to say, the Peruvian Com
pany's object was to establish itself at
the cost of the United States 'no
natter what that cost may finally turn
sat TO be." These unscrupulous job
bers eOmprehended that If they could
get o powerful and proud nation COM
mitted to lnterference, even If war
should result, and if the war should
oost the United States $500, 900, 900 or
more their 5000, 100000 job was
thereby set on its legs. Hence Ship
herd wrote Hurlbut, SIT is the first
step only that costs" and urged him
By any means to find some way in
which Peru could SesOtuAlly commit

TIE PEACH PRosPEoT.-There are
two opinions as to the prospect for a
peach crop. A friend and frequent
contributor to the GAZETTE sends us
IN article which was written in part
for this paper, but before it reached
uS appeared in the New York Times,
and we give it place on another page.
he takes the ground that the
prospect for an abundant yield in
Delaware and Maryland is good, but
that further north and on the Hudson
river, the prospect Is not good. While
this gentleman, who has had experi-
ence with peaches, and fine oppor.
tunity TO make observations, promul-
gates this opinion, another gentleman
from the lower part of this county
who has also had some experience
entertains the opinion that the wood
in most of the old trees is 80 much
affected from the extreme weather Of
last winter that they will not bear
although the younger trees have not
suffered 30 much, and hence he holds
that the crop will be very light one
in the region to which his observation

University professors in Milbourne

have recently been punished for dis
orderly conduct in doing SO. There
was an election of President of the
faculty, which caused a good deal of
sharp canvassing. AT the voting one
Of the professors, named Narson, be-
ing accused by Professor ELLINGTON

THE Treasury returns Of our ex-
port trade in breadatuffs for the arst
month Of the new year as compared
with those Of the corresponding period
in 1881 show large falling OF. The
exact figures are for 1882, &11, ,925, ,99A.
as against s14, ,929, 400 in 1881. The
returns for the seven months ending
January 81, 1889, as compared with
those for the corresponding months
closing with January, 1881, show an
equally unsatisfactory condition Of
trade. In 1881 our total exports in
this line, within the designated period,
were $16s, sos, $50, whereas this year
they are only $1S4, ,O73, ,9O7, or mere
than forty million dollars lesa Vari
Gus causes have contributed to this re-
suit. First of all there has been lar
ger European production, and, second,
there has been unwise speculation on
the part OF our own dealers and trans
pofters. II IS the most natural thing in
the world for people who have goods to
sell to try to get the highest prices for
them, but this cannot be done to such
an extent where cash Is demanded, as
to enable us to get of all our grain,
while we might hnd sale for every dol
lars worth of it If the duties ov steel
and railroad iron were made lower.
These articles now yield profit Of forty
per cent. while twenty-five would amply
compensate the manufacturer, and also
increase the demand snd help to increase
the number OF miles Of railroad 10 be
built.

that has ever taken place in that CITY,

aqnshtly subject, and If ever there
was : case In which charity was due
from surrounding neighbors, this at
Chester is one. And tits to the credit
.6k the people Of that city that they
at oncs adopted measures for aiding
and assisting tho familiess OF the
deceased and those who are suffering
from the effects Of wounds received
from the terrible effects of the ex-
plosiOh. As will be seen from our
columns, public meeting was held
lass night and a collection and sub
scription started for this laudable pur-
pose. .
The inquest over the remains was
commenced, but adjourned until to-
day. There really seems culpability,
4fnOt criminality, somewhere about
this affair, for surely the operatives
must have known that there was
powder in the shape of fireworks
stored in the building, and yet it ap-
pOars from rumor that they told the
hrUaAes and those about the building
helping to put out the FIRE that there
was no danger, or no explosive ma
terial In the house.
The case presents warning to fire
men everywhere, and especially il
Wilmington, showing them and thos'
at the head Of the Fire Department
the necessity for care in such matters
Here are nineteen valuable lives, per
haps half as many more, sacrificed t.
saye an old building scarcely wort
moro than the tearing of it ava
would cost, and terrible injury an
suffering entailed upon about twic
a. many more who are wounded, t
say nothing of tbe distress that ha
befallen their relatives and friends
All in consequence of neglect to TAX
the proper precaution to see for then
selves that building that was know
TO be used for manufacturing fire
works, did not contain powder or e1
plossye materials.
