THE RIVER AND HARBOR.

In referring to the river and harbOr i'm
provements the report SAYS: The lncreas-
ing demands Of the commerce Of his port
require the channel Of our river t. be deep
ened more than % feet, as contemplated by
the plan adopted by congress in 1882, and 1t
is to be hoped that congress having under
taken to improve the harbors Of the coun-
try, will appreciate The Importance Of Civ
ing more attention TO this river and harbor.
While the work under the plan Of 1882 has
been Of vast benefit, the appropriations for
carving on the work have been so desul
tory and inadequate that work has not pro
gressed TO its completion in a satisfactory
manner as might otherwise have been.
There is still an unappropriated balance IN
der the plan Of 1882 Ga Jan. 4, 1888, Gen.
Duane, the chief Of engineers. submitted to
the Secretary of War plan for obtaining
Is feet Of water in our river channel,
which has been urged upon congress, but
without avail 50 IA. The ,stimated COS
of this was $500, $50 s.. The larger por
ton Of this sum va for work to be done
between Iybte Reads and the sea, for the
purpose of deepen ng tho bar. But mas
much as the depth of the ater on the bar
would not be Increased bg this plan more
than feet, 1t has been suggest ted, and il is
urged upon congr IS, to adopt a plan giving
% feet of water, which could be done with
cut the large ex pendlJure estimated for the

TO FINISH THE TYBaE RAILROAD.

OAAO" RAOi NON'OI

THE BOWLING CASE.
The Defendant Is Fined $3.50 and
the Costs


John E. Bowling was sentenced to pay
a fine of $3.50 and costs in the superior
court Yesterday. In pronouncing the sem
tence Judge Adams took occasion to notice
the excellent reputation and record of tho
defendant in the community, and said, in
effect, thas but for this and the recon-
mendation Of the jury the sentence would
be more severe.
There is nothing in the verdict that indi-
Gated that the jury accepted the statement
Of the prosecutor in preference to that Of
the defe daat. On tie contrary the judge
aid jury thought that, under Mr.. Dow
lings own statement (which vas character
istlcally frank and manly, as TO the second
battery, he had violated the law, and the
jury were compelled to convict him. Under
his statement, the aggravat on was
very great, but il did not amount under the
law as given by the court in its charge, to a
legal justification. Beside, the battery
adminisf cred by him was severe. In justice
to Mr.. Downing, it ought to he said that all
the testl nOnY showed that his record and
character were most excellent, and tat
there was no stain on either

the tone of his remarks. Perhaps the word
'caustcn would have better served to char

misleading one OF "invective." ANY allu-
sion 10 the evidence offered by the defense
Concerning the prosecutors would naturally
suggest the idea, no matter how

is always earnest in the advocacy
of his cause, it is exceedingly rare taat ne IS
