they are on the opening of the pre-

and spring the road.bed of both the
West Jersey and Camden and
Atlantic has been greatly improved.
The West reballasted; the track of
the Camden and Atlantic has been
renewed on many portions of the
line and track tanks have been ad-
ded for the use of fast trains. The
equipment, both in locomotives and
cars, is superior in every respect, and
will be ample for the comfortable
conveyance of the largest midsum.

The terminal facilities at both ends
of the line possess the advantage of
sur erior location, The Market st
station in Philadelphia, from which
the fast trains of both the West Jer-
sey and Camden and Atlatic Rail-
roads start, is the central sea shore
station of the city, accessible from
all sections by direct lines of street
cars. and within fifteen minutes of
Broad Street station by the Market
Street cable cars. In addition to
the central station at Market Street,
there is also a ferry from Vine Street
and a boat running from Vine and
Shackamaxon Streets direct to the
Camden side of the Market Street

At Atlantic City passengers are
landed in the heart of the city, at a
point from which every part of the
city and suburbs are easily reached
by the new electric railway.
The special excursion travel is
delivered at the large and handsome
new excursion house, the Sea View

DEPT. OF THE INTERIOR,

To The Medical Profession:
The various medical associations and
the medical profession will be glad to
learn that DIR. John S. Billings, Sur
geon U, S. Army has consented to
take charge of the Report on the Nor
tality and Vital Statistics of the United
States as returned by the Eleventh
Census.
AS the United States has no system
of registration of vital statistics, such
as is relied upon by other civilized
nations for the purpose of ascertaining
the actual movement of population,
our census affords the only opportunity
of obtaining near an approximate es-
innate of the birth and death rates of
much the larger part of the country
which is entirely unprovided with any
salts factory system of State and mum
icipal registration.
In view of this, the Census Office,
during the month of May this year,
will issue to the medical profession
throughout the country physician s
Registers" for the purpose of obtain
ing more accurate returns of deaths
than it is possible for the enumerators
to make. 1t is earnestly hoped that
physicians in every part of the country
will cooperate with the Census Office
in this important work. The record
should be kept from June 1, 1889, to
May 81, 1890. Nearly $4,000 of these
registration books were filled up and
returned to the office in 1880, and near
ly all of them used for statistical pur-
poses. 1t is hoped that double this
number will be obtained for the Ele-
yenth Census.
Physicians not receiving Registers
can obtain them by sending their
names and addresses to the Census
Office, and, with the Register, an Off
cial envelope which requires no stamp
will be provided for their return to
Washington.
If all medical and surgical prac-
titioners throughout the country will
lend their aid, the mortality and vital
statistics of the Eleventh Census will
be more comprehensive and complete
than they have ever been. Every ply
sician should take personal pride in
having this report as full and accurate
as it is possible to make it.
1t IS hereby promised that all infor-
nation obtained through this source
shall be held strictly confidential.

Loss by the Flood at Port Deposit
ana on the Underwater Canal.

The high water at Port covered the
railroad track four feet deep and stopped
all travel until Tuesday morning. The
track was quickly cleared when the
water subsidized. The damage to citi-
zens proved much greater than to the
railroad. ard much greater than at
first predicted. There is not fence or
clubhouse from the depot to Rock Run
that has not been washed out and car
ried away by the flood, which was not
the case with previous floods. The
lumber yards of Tunis & Co., Rowland
& Buck and J. A. Davis have suffered
heavily. The fishermen are heavy
losers. All their buildings and con-
tents have been washed away. In fact
there is no estimating the loss to Port
Peposit at this time.
The ConOwingo bridge stood the
flood and is safe. The Susquehauna
Water Power and Paper Company's
works are not damaged as bad y as they
thought they were, but the loss will DE
several thousand dollars. The Snsque-
hanna and Tidewater canal, extending
from Columbia. Pa, to Havre de Grace,
Md, is completely ruined. There are
millions of feet of valuable lumber
drifted on islands and the shore. Mr.
Samuel Moore had about seven hun
dred dollars worth Of wood and bark
washed away off Bears Island, about
ten miles north of Conowingo. There
were thirty RATS washed away from
Wrightsville and came down the river.
They were very valuable.
The loss at Port Deposit later ad-
vices say, is much less than at first
reported. Mr.. j. Harvey Rowland's
loss was reported to be $75, 900.
$3.50 will cover his loss he reports.
Immense quantities of logs are
stranded about Havre dc Grace and
Williamsport owners are reported to
be gathering up their property, and
will set up saw mills 10 cut up the
logs.

do not believe in giving license to any saloon.
We have no right to license the sale of liquor.
Prohibition cannot be enforced in Baltimore city
at the present time. Any measure looking to the
defeat of intemperance that be enforced
should be tried. High license will not do all.
Make the laws stringent. The Pennsylvania law
seems to be a good one. In its provisions some
notable clauses, The law says that license
shall be granted man who has ever been convict
ed of crime. This would shut up and keep closed
many saloons in Baltimore. The man must live
in the same ward in which the saloon is t. be To-
Gated. No man can go bond for more than one
man who wants to open saloon. Place a 81 900
license to this and fair start will have been
made. 1t is disgrace to look at Marsh Market
space and around Lexington market. In this
movement we are not lighting the small saloon
keepers. We can beat them easily. 1t is the
wealthy and strong brewery manufacturer who
are in the fight. They will send beer and all the
utensils to man, let him open pay his license
and hold mortgage him."

and thinks the movement recently inaugurated
in its behalf will be successful. In speaking of
the matter he said that if successful it will be of
untold benefit to the working people. 1t will
close up the rum shops in the alleys and lessen
the temptation the poorer classes now have to
spend their wag es in drink. He thiL ks it great
step towards prohibition. which he regards as
impracticable at present. In his opinion the law
should be framed so to prevent the location of
saloon in any block without the consent of al the
ople living or doing business on it. and that
none shall be situated within a block of any
church or school.

MnrraY's Mistak e.

James Murray, an English sailor, sailed
into town yesterday. He said he hadn't
had bite 10 eat for two days and he
wanted sixty days rest ut the city's or
states expense. About Q o'clock last night
he walked into the Famous store, corner Of
Main and Ohio street, and deliberately
took coat and walked out with it. He
was collared at the door by Officers Jim
Gossage and Kelly, and landed in the
cooler. The sirangest part is, that he was
offered nights lodging by Officer Gossags
few minutes before he stole the coat. He
is apparently tough citizen.

L RumOr That the Sedalia
Shops are 20 be Removed
to Kansas City.

The Kansas City Star of last evening
contained the following choice specimen
of railroad information which we publish
for what it is worth:
The officials of the Missouri Pacific rail-
road are inquiring into the feasibility of
establishing switching station at some
point near the city, out of the city limits.
For this purpose Superintendent Clark of
Sedalia, accompanied by several other
leading officials of the road, visited the
city few DAYS ago.
The tracks of this road In the city are
easy of access and are ample for Kansas
City business, but for the freight business
in general big blockades are constant. Two
months ago several side tracks were laid,
yet they relieve the rush tu. little. The
Santa Fe was in the same Procurement and
they established a switching station at
Argentine, bringing only local business
into the city. The plan has proved suc-
cessful.
1t is also reported that the Missouri Pa
cifc officials have reconsidered their de-
cision about removing the company's shops
from Sedalia to Atchison, and that Kan
sas City will be selected as the location.
The road employs in these shops between
400 and 500 men. The main difficulty Ia
placing them here is the finding of a suit
able location. While in the city last we,
Superintendent Clark investigated this
matter and it is reported, some arrange

In MEMORY OFF. C.

He 10 not dead, our absent friend,
Who lies so cold and still.
He sleeps, and dreams of peace descend,
The earth-tired brain to fill.
Some other hand must bear his task,
The burthened, weary day,
Some other heart for friendship ask,
And for compassion pray.
His was a gen'rous heart and kind,
A refuge to the poor
None hungry sought bis help to find
A closed forbiuding door.
Nor did he shrink at duty's call,
Face front, he guarded well,
With simple loyalty, the wall
That held q trust IN cell.
A Christian Yes, in all that goes
To make Christian true,
Forgiving even those-his foes,
As grand souls only do.
A tender son, rememb'ring e'er
His mother in her age.
The percepts, shining bright and clear,
Upon Gods own white page.
He is not dead, he merely waits
Beyond our mortal ken,
And sleeping dreams OF pearl set gates
Between the Now aud Then.
