Work on the Eastern shore Railroad.

EAsToN. Md, July 24.-Work on the
Baltimore and Eastern Shore railroad is
making headway. The roadbed is built
from the Trappe road, near the fair
grounds, westward across the Point road
TO the Third Haven. which is crossed at
the foot of New Bridge road, and about
100 rods on the west side OF the river.
There are gangs on both ends Of this sec
tiOn, one working towards the bay
and the other towards the Choptank
river. Owing TO the fact that the
right of way has not been secured from
some landowners the contractors have
been hampered. and have been using only
a small but sufficient number Of men
and teams. II is now stated that the
right of way is secured from the Chop
tank to the Chesapeake, except in one
case at st. Michael 5, and Mr.. How, one of
the contractors, says he will have several
hundred men and teams at work in few
days. The contractors have tried hard to
get labor from the locality, but they are
finding ii impossible to obtain sufficient,
and are obliged TO look elsewhere for it.

couNclLmANlc BACK PAY.
The Surplus Few Members vim Have
to Pay Back.

The opinion Of City Solicitor Turner,
regarding the part of the Bi ennial Elec-
tion bill affecting the salaries of members
of Council, will cause members whose
salaries during May and June exceeds
$50, to put their hands in their pockets
and pay over the surplus TO the city
treasurer.
The matter first came up at the regu
lar meeting of Council on July g. when
Mr.. Roberts objected to the payroll for
June, and asked that its payment be post
poned for one week, until an opinion was
rendered by the city solicitor, as to
whether the bill went into effect on
its passage April %, or on July l. Mr.
McGonigal, chairman of the Finance
COMMITTEES, stated that he had been in
formed that the bin went into effect on
July l. The city solicitor was asked for
an opinion in the matter. He promised
TO give on the following meeting night,
and the pay yroll was passed.
Not giving an opinion at the next
meeting, on motion of Mr.. Roberts the
city solicitor wasl INSTRUCTED" to give an
opinion at the following meeting. which
would be July 1S At the meeting at
which Mr. Turner had been instructed,
Mr.. Chambers returned BIB to the city
treasurer, saying that he had examined
the bill, and according to his judgment
1t went into effect on its passage. He
therefor returned the excess over $40 a
month for May and June. On July lS Mr..
Turner failed to render an opinion. but
sent communication asking for another
weeks grace.
Last evening he sent the opinion as
stated, which will be found in full in the
report of last nights meeting of Council.
The names of councilmen whose com
mittee meetings during May and June
caused their salaries to exceed $50 a
month, with the amount Of excess, fol
lows:

OF these Mr. Chambers has returned his
$13; Mr McGonigal's excess is for May
only; Mr.. Quinn's will be reduced by

man of the Finance Committee to $50 so,
and Mr. Dillon's will be reduced by 81. .1S,
his extra compensation as chairman Of
the Committee on Public Buildings to
$3.50.
Most Of the members smilingly accept
the situation One said that the city
auditor should be instructed to collect
the amounts due from each member.
Another expressed the opinion that If the
salary part Of the bill went into effect on
its passage, then the clause regarding
the organization OF Council went into
effect, as stated, and it should have or
ganized on the first Tuesday in June.

Many Of our citizens will regret to
learn of the death of Miss Mamie Payne
who spent some time here last Summer
visiting her uncle, Mr.. John Payne.
The Port Townsend. wv. To- Weekly
Call OF March End. says:
''Tho sad intelligence of the death of
Miss Manic Payne, which occurred
this morning at four o'clock, was re-
ceived with expressions mingled with
sorrow and regret by the many friends
OF this estimable Christian young
woman. About three or four weeks
ago, the deceased was taken ill with q
severe cold, At tho time it was not
anticipated that anything serious would
result from her 'ndisposition. Later on
her illness took turn for tho worse,
and dangerous complications developed
into drUpsy of tho heart, which was the
Immediate cnuse OF her death.
1.-THE deceased is a native of Bath
urst, New Brunswick, and was in tho
26th year of her age. She came to
Port Townsend about five years ago,
since which she has resided here with
the exception of few months spent in
Nevada with an uncle. The relatives
iii this city who are left to mourn her
untimely demise are sister, Mrs. b.
d. Hill, an aunt, Mrs. David Spoor,
and two uncles, Messrs. John and
William Payne"

Samoa,

Rumors are prevalent of a conflict
between German war vessel and the
United States S. s. Nipsic in Somoan
waters. A. for ~ We can learn the re-
port is that the German vessel began
bombarding Apia, for some unknown
cause, whom Commander D. w. Mullan,
OF the Nipsio, sent word to the German
commander that if he did not desist tho
Nipsic would fire into him. No attsn-
ton being paid to the request the
American vessel threw shelf into the
German vessel which did considerable
damage in tearing up a portion of her
deck. The German commander then
retnliated by throwing torpedo into
tho Nipsic with such terrible effoct az
to blow her up, sinking her almost inn
mediately.
It does not seem very probable that
" torpedo could bs projected in broad
daylight with such fatal effect, unless
by accident, but such might possibly
be the case. II tho report be true it
will doubtless have the eff,ct of bring
ing on crisis in Samoan affairs.

"Tho Bill to refund tho license paid

Frightened.

A Carlin correspondent sends US tho
following:
Supt. Myrick and G. G. Walker
started ont on Thursday morning snipe
shooting. When about four miles from
Carlin they came across lynx. one Of
the largest that has ever been seen in
this section of country. Mr.. Myrick
was standing about four feet from it
when he called to Mr.. Walker. Had it
not been for the rare presence of mind
of that gentleman there is no telling
what might have been the consequences.
Mr.. Wslker had seven or eight cartrid-
ges that would not 60 off, and it must
have been q terrible suspense to Mr..
Myrick. It has been rumored since
that some Of the r. r. boys had run
over a very large lynx some days ago
about three or four niles from here.
Mr.. Ayr;ck evidently is mistaken about
it being California Lion.
