WAYS AND MEANS,

The committee reported adversely on in
dexing the present Charter. The reason:
given were that the Charter contained SC
much repealed matter that it was mislead
ing, and that some important amendments
to the Charter had been omitted In their
report was included an offer from A.. r.
Mcdonald who offered to furnish copy for
a new compilation and index the same, for
SS5. He stated also that he was not at all
anxious for the job, and suggested if there
was any prospect of getting a new charter,
that present compilation need not be un.
dertaken.
Alderman Owens moved to postpone the
indexing and compilation indefinitely. lie
did not think new compilation would
strengthen the present laws, and appeared
to think that the present Charter would do
ford the expense of new compilation this
year.
The City Attorney then stated that the
Aldermen should have a Charter whereby
they could tell what laws and ordinances
he'd been repealed To lay the matter over
indefinitely, and leave the Charter as mis-
leading as it was now, in order to save cost
Of new compilation, would be penny wise
and pound foolish. At present the citizens
could not ascertain from the printed Char
ter, what the city laws were.
A debate ensued between Alderman
Owens and City Attorney on the subject.
Aldermen Campbell and Warner agreed
with the City Attorney as to the misleading
character of the Charter The Mayor also
favored new compilation, as Council was
likely to be mislead by repealed laws in the
book, and do something that would prove
injurious to the city.
Finally the Ways and Means committee
were instructed to enter into contract with
A. II. Mcdonald for furnishing copy for a
new compilation, if they deem II necessary.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The committee of the whole on new
bridge, reported that the bridge petitioned
for across the river, at or near Eighth
street, could not be built this year, as the
money to build such could not be spared
this year.
The liquor bond of Geo. W. Smith, with
A. w. Comstock and p. Phillips as sure
ties, was presented.
Alderman Owens claimed that Smith in
tended to take out beer license, and be-
lieved that other liquors would be sold, not
provided for in the license, and that the
city would be 800 out Considerable dis
cussion ensucd. Several motions were
made and withdrawn, and at last the bond
was approved, on condition that Smith take
out full license.
Alderman Owens offered the following
resolution, which was passed unanimously
That the City Marshal be instructed to
notify A. G.. Tefft to cause solid fence TO
I've built in front Of his printing office, so
fas to prevent himself and others, who may
be near sighted or intoxicated, from falling
in and becoming a burden on the county.

STREETS AND sEwERs.

Alderman Owens reported in favor OF
the city paying James Hunt for driving
spiles at the bridge The report was re-
ceived in silence for some time, and Alder
man Owens waited anxiously for the Coun-
Gil to take action and thus relieve him of
paying $500 for driving said spiles, as
the bridge tender would not shoulder it,
At last Alderman Warner arose and stated
that there was 10 question but that the city
was responsible for what the chairman of
the Street Committee had done, and the
question might as well be settled Council
thought so too and the bill was paid.
The matter of opening up Beebe street,
asked for by Stevenson and others, was re-
ferred to City Attorney.
The sidewalk asked for by st. Charles
and others, ON southwest side Of Lake
streets, between Dock and Commercial
streets, was ordered laid.
The petition of Burdick and Others for
opening up River street from its pre-
sent terminus, was laid on the table.
A sidewalk, petitioned for by S. Oliver
and others, on southeast side of Fourth
street, from Lewis street to Washington
avenue, was ordered laid.
The petition of Lintz and others, for ex-
tending sewer from corner of Baldwin and
Clinton streets was laid over

city to formally accept them, SO that there
would be no dispute as to the ownership OF

4 Letter from the County.

A gentleman who has been ia the
lower part of Anne Arundel county
sends us the following items Of inter-
est:
Corn in this county will not be
more than half a crop this year owing
to the dry season. The tobacco crop
will also be a very short one, for the
same reason This crop has been
the main stay of many ofour farmers,
and when it fails, there is poor en-
couragement for the farmer. The
low prices Of grain have also been
very discouraging to the farmer
scarcely yielding enough to pay the
expense of the farm labor. In the
vicinity of West River, the crops
have Jared better. Mr.. Wesley Cole.
near Galesville, has fine crop Of to.
bacco, and has secured large por-
ton oft The weather has been fine
for curing the corn fodder and to-
bacco, and farmers have taken advan-
tage of it. The supervisors are now
at work on the roads, and it is to be
hoped they will put them in good re-
pair before the fall rains set in. The
extremely dry weather has rendered
travelling on the roads very disagree
able.
Political gatherings will soon be
the order Of the day, and night, too,
and both parties will put on their po-
litical war-paint and enter upon the
campaign with an earnest viii.

ANNIVERSARY SERMON

LOCAL NEWS OF THE DAY
AnnIYeI sary Sermon.

Rev. Robert II. Williams, Pastor
of the Presbyterian Church, of this
city, preached his second anniversary
sermon yesterday morning. After
speaking Of the dignity and influence
and joy of the work of the ministry,
the progress and prospects of the
church were presented in few words.
The attendance, both morning and
evening, had been good, and at times
so large that it was thought that an
enlargement of the church edi6ce
might be needed at no distant day.
The large and increasing number of
students of the Naval Academy and
st. Johns College, who attend the
church, make the work exceedingly
interesting. The Sabbath School has
increased in numbers and efficiency.
The M nber admitted in the last two
years, to membership, was q little
above the average. The collections
for the Boards, and the finances gen.
orally, have improved, and every in
terest of tie church has had the earn
est attention of the congregation The
cornet introduced during the year, and
the new organ put in during the past
week, will be very helpful in the de.
votional parts of the service. The
out look for the coming year is bright,
and with united, earnest, prayerful
people the result will be greater than
heretofore. The location of this
church, and its relation to the Presby-
terian youth of the Naval Academy,
give it a place in the interest and
prayers Of the people all over our land,
and it will be a cause of rejoicing to
parents, whose sons attend, to know
that the church is prospering.

Garden Festival and Oyster supper.

A the oyster season has now CON-
menced, and many people have a
fondness for these delicious bivalves,
we would suggest that some of our
enterprising churches get up Lawn
Festival and Oyster Supper There
is nothing that would pay so well, just
at this time. We are sure the beauti-
full grounds of our public school
would be most appropriate place for
the festival, which might be secured
by application to the trustees. The
beautiful moonlight nights we are now
enjoying would add greatly to the
of such q festivity, to say
nothing of the inviting repast that
would await the throng that would
gather there nightly. Let there be
music and various kind of games for
the enjoyment of the young, and we
are sure it could be made grand sue
cess. The occasion could be enliven-
ed by our City Cornet Band, who,
we are sure would lend their aid. We
hope to see some of our churches in
augurating such 9 move.

Inspecting the Oyster Tongers.

Deputy Commander CLARK, Of the
oyster police force. has just returned
from an inspection Of boats engaged
in longing in Anne Arundel waters.
He reports that all the crafts exam
ined had the proper license. Capt
Clark says oysters are scarce ia the
rivers, and that at Holland Point bar
recently it required some 81 small
boats to load vessel with about 200
bushels. The largest number Of An
napolis tongmen seek supply from
the oyster grounds at Talley's Point.
where oysters are said to he more
numerous than at any other place ii
the river. Even here the average
catch per day does not exceed ten
hpshels for each boat, OF $2. so piece

cred poor days work at The begin
ming Of the season.

The Oyster Catch.

The oyster catch in this vicinity
has not been very remunerative thus
far. 1t was expected that after so
long a rest the oyster beds would
have developed a new growth, which
would have increased the supply very
perceptibly, but careful examination
of the beds fails to disclose any ap-
pearance Of the new growth so tar.
The stock, therefore, on which tong
men daily pursue their calling has
been only such as is left from year to
year. The extreme hot weather of
the past week has not been favorable
to the oyster trade, though the de-
mand is greater than the supply. The
average price for such oysters as are
caught now, which are of medium
quality, is fifty cents a bushel. The
oyster. packers are taking few orders,
as the expense of transportation dur
ing warm weather does not justify
heavy shipments.
