high standing went to Lewes and came home
the next morning; his horse was in his corn

other men came home from the same parade
and they left their horse standing in the

by one OF the parties themselves.

Peninsular Waterways.

The last Congress made appropriations for
the improvements of water courses on this
Peninsula, and last Friday the engineer in
charge opened bids for doing the work. The
first work bid for was dredging channel
connecting the waters of the Assowoman
bay with Indian River bay, Del This is
part of the inland water way between Chin
colleague bay, Va, and Delaware bay, near
Lewes, Del.
The following bids were opened for dredg-
ing Mispillion creek: American Dredging
Company, 734 Walnut street, Philadelphia
3S cents per cubic foot, in place, aud 80 cents
in bucket. Work to begin December 10,
1888, and be completed March TO- 1850. Atlas
Dredging Company, 6Io Market street, Will
iniugtou Del, 3s5k cents in place work to
commence March 1, 1889, and be completed
June 80, 1889; Frank {. Somers, 2IIH Mar
ket street, Camden, N. J., IS cents a cubic
yard, work to begin March l., 1889, and be
completed June 80, 1850
An abstract Of these bids will be sent to
Washington by General Smith, who will
recommend one Of them. Il is approved by
the government engineers there, and the con-
tract awarded generally to the lowest bidder.
The proposals of the lowest bidder for the
inland waterway channel, Lemuel L. Miller,
of Cape May, n. j., were not in triplicate,
there being but one specification. The work
to be done on the inland waterway is to
dredge channel about four miles long, thirty |
feet wide and six feet deep at low water, con- |
Meeting Assawoman bay and Indian River |
bay. The appropriation available is $4,000 |
less engineering and contingent expenses. |
From one to twenty feet Of soil will have to
be dredged out; it is estimated that 45o, 900
cubic yards Of soil will have to be removed.
The cost at the price of the lowest bidder is
so6,75o, more than the available appropri-
ation so that work will not be finished until
another appropriation is made.
This channel when completed will give an
inland waterway for light draft vessels from
Indian River Inlet to Chiucoteage bay, dis
tance of forty-six miles. From Chincoteague
bay there is a communication with Chesa-
peake bay. There are, however, two or three
shallow places in the connecting inlets that

depth at low water Of two to three feet It
is part of the general plan to connect this
waterway with Delaware bay above Lewes,
but channel OF about Eve or six miles has
yet to be cut connecting Rehoboth and Del
aware bays. The route foEthis channel has
cot been surveyed or located, aud no appro-
priation has yet been made for the work.
This work is done by the government Oh
the fulfilled condition that the land through t
which the channel runs be given by the I
State. Most of the property, which is about I
all marsh, has been donated by individual !
owners, but s.. 600 was appropriated by the
state for property which was not given.
The proposal for dredging Mispillion creek
are for work from Milford to the mouth Of
he creek, leaving depth of six feet at low
water. The available appropriation is 6
&, 500. t

~ d4hAda hAAea RACE -
PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Nov. S, 1888.
We were never so well fixed
to show Black Dress Goods.
Never SO many to show-sorts
and quantities.
Take Black Silk-Warp Hen
riettas, the best (Priestley's of
course). Ask for any number
in the long line. Where else
can all of them be had? If
you have a silk-and-wool in
mind,ge the best. It's cheap
est in the long run. Any best,
SO long as you pay for quality,
is cheapest; doubtIy true OF
a silk-and-will. These choic-
est Henriettas are made of
strictly pure silk and the very
finest quality Australian wool.
They go in the natural gray to
the dye-vats and come out
black of a uniform shade.
A new feature in these Hen
riettas are 50 and 70 inch
widths for Cloaks, wraps, and
Shawls. They match the
dress goods exactly in shade.
We have had a line of All
Wool Black Henriettas with
extra heavywarP made for our
special trade. This adds
body, weight and frmness to
the goods. 40 inces wide.
81 to $3.50; lighter warp, 75c.
All-Wool Black Cashmeres,
Old-fashioned stufs that are
always good, desirable, and
quick. For less than ever.
Camel Hair has come back
to be one of the most fashion
able of Blacks for ladies' wear.
The sharp turn to 1t has been
within a month or so. Too
good a stuff to be given the
go by. Take a frst-class
Camel Hair(say Priestley's or
Lupin's) and it softens and
betters with wear almost to the
end. Four makes on our
counters, CSC to $3.50.
Black All-Wool Serges come
to us under a dozen or twenty
names, French, German, Am
erican. Various twills and
many widths, SOC to $I,25.
AS many more widths and
qualities come in the soft twills
known as Chuddas. soc to
$3.50.
Black Novelty Goods from
Paris in blocks, stripes, plaids,
and figures. Beyond your pa
tience to count.
The new and popular Black
Side-Band stufs for robes.
Soutache Braided Robes. 81
to $I6.5O.
Second Mourning Stufs for
Dresses - mixtures, plaids,
stripes. soc to $I.5o.

There isn't such another
gathering of Dress Stufs under
any roof in America. There
are stufs as fine, plenty of
lower grade; but there isn't
another store that keeps the
variety in every grade from
barely useful to rich, and
were prices are SO sure to be
in the lowest nick.
Here's a line of Ladies'
Suitings that will do to meas
ure the whole stock by. Stand
ard goods. Checks, small
plaids mostly invisible -
dainty hair-line stripes. 81
inches wide, and Al for style,
wear and weight, and the col
ors include.
brownish BLUSH
greenish garnetish

each in a great variety of
modest combinations. This is
the price scale:
Ten 81 styles at rs cents
Twenty-six 81. so styles at 81
Twenty SI.75 styles at $3.50
The new lots have just been
opened; the new prices began
