fion, because they do not sell counter
felt money, and that while it seemed
the law should be powerful enough to
punish them for swindling, it was i'm
possible 10 do 50.
| Mr.. Walling told Mr.. Smith that if
Stone had succeeded in meeting him at
the hotel, he would have conducted
him TO u back room in n saloon or
gambling den, and counted out TO him
in genuine greenbacks, while they
represented to be counterfeit whatever
amount he wished to purchase. This
would then, right before his eyes, be
wrapped up neatly, but just as they
were about to hand the package to him,
his attention would be called TO another
part of the room, and the instant his
head was turned, n package exactly
like the one containing the money
would be substituted for the one he had
seen tied up. They would then collect
the amount he had agreed to pay, and
caution the victim TO secrete the package
about his person, and not open 1t under
any circumstances until he was outside
of New York.
When the package was opened, 1t
was found TO contain nothing but old
sli ps Of paper. The greater number of
their victims said nothing about being
swindled, from the very fact that to do
no would be to expose the fact that they
themselves were trying to purchase
counterfeit money with the intention Of
passing It.
The day after Mr.. Smith returned
home he received the following letter
from the clerk Of The hotel
OCCIDENTAL HOTEL.
BRoOME ST, CORNER BOwERY,
NEW YORK, Jan. B, 1884.
Dear Sir--Y0u had been away from
the hotel about ten minutes when a
short, spare built man, with smooth
face, beard about two days old, seedy in
looks, appearance and dress, and with
a hahg-dog east of cOuntenance-a very

1t isstated that at present there are
800 entries and clearanccs per annum.
II is claimed, and undoubtedly correct,
ly too, that an improvement of the
stream would greatly enlarge its com
merce. The survey was made during
the month of October, 1888, under my
direction by Assistant John II. Dagger.
A copy OF his report to me is attached
hereto as a part of this report. A trac'
ing of the map of the survey has been
transmitted by mail to-day.
The document, which is very vol
luminous, is printed In pamphlet form
and contains Mr.. Dager's report in full
and letters from f. Y. Warner, John
Hamilton & Co., Lea Pusey, Preston
Lea and Seidel, Hastings & Co., relat.
ing to the need of improving the
Brandywine channel. In Mr.. Dager's
report he says There are 500 vessels
yearly in and out of the river. The Lea
and Sons Company received and ship
ped last year 100, 900 tons of grain and
flour, one third of it by water. They
state that if draught Of water permitted
they would load vessels direct for their
West India trade, instead Of, as now,
sending by railroad and barges to New
York and Philadelphia for re-shipment.
Much more freight would be carried
by water if larger vessels could navi.
gate the stream. The city of Whining
ton being lntersected by the Brandy
wine and Christiana rivers, and being
connected thereby with the great Della
ware water highway, affords an Oppor.

report of Lieutenant Colonel G. Welt
eel of the Eng,neering>Corps which has
ferred to tho Committee on Commerce,
will be read with interest:
GENERAL: In accordance with the di-
rection contained in the circular letter
from the office of the Chief Of Engineers,
United States Army, dated Washing
ton, ID, c., April "a, 1883, have the
honor TO submit the following report on
the "survey Of the river Brandywine
from its mouth to the Market street
bridge, in the city of Wilmington, Del.
The tidal portion of the Brandywine
river bears a similar relation to the har-
Dor of Wilmington, Del, that the lower
portion of the SchnylEll river does to
the harbor Of Philadelphia. Whining
ton, Del, is a very enterprisiDg manu-
featuring city, and the products Of its
manufactures 70 to many places in
this country as we'll as abroad. 1t is a
growing city and its inhabitants feel
that they need more harbor accommoda-
tions than are at presenl projected by
the Improvements Of their harbor along
/, the Chrstiana river.
To obtain these increased water ia.
ciities by the improvement of the
Brandywine according to project
which would give channel 8 feet deep
at mean low water, and 100 feet wide
up to the Eleventh street bridge; for a
channel feet deep and IS feet wide
from this bridge to Lea's mills, and a
similar channel, so feet wide, thence to
Market street bridge, it is estimated
that the sum of 500, 525 would be re.
quired. If the channel depths just
given are maintained and the widths
reduced to about one half, tits estimated
that the sum of $4,000 will make the
improvement. In its present condition
the bar at the mouth of the Brandy
wine has less than two feet of water
over it at low stage. The commerce
of this stream during the year ending
November l., 1888, is stated to be as
follows.
