Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1890-10-03

The recent storm which has hung over
this section for the past week, has cleared
up. and our village again puts on an air
of activity.
The carpenters and masons haye again
resumed work upon the unfinished build
ings mentioned in our last) and they are
fast nearing completion, several lots have
been purchased aud 8 number OF new
houses have been contracted for, and If
the fall remain open we shall have con-
siderable increase in our building over
last year. Our village is gro wing steadily
and surlly.
The ship yard and marine railway of
Messrs. Heller 81 Son are kept busy In
repairing, sc. The police schooners.
Mamie Merriman aud "Frolic' came of
the ways last evening and the schooner
Kate Waters," Capt Stiles, OF Baltimore,
goes on to-day.
The sloop Jennie" Capt. Kelly. is on
the ways for a general overhaulIng The
schooner Rose Bud" Capt. George
Tyler, which recently lost her masts In a
squall, has had them replaced and has
resumed her oyster trade between here
and Baltimore. A number of vessels are
at anchor off the village awaiting favor
able wind TO their port OF destination.
The Boat building shop of the Winds or
boys is doing a good business, as they
have commenced TO build their boats on
the iDstalment plan. which Is great con-
venience to some of our poorer oystermen
and also increases their already thriving
business.
Our electric light poles are all In place.
except those to be placed upon the bridge,
and the wires are all stretched, and we
are only waiting for the light to come, we
are ia hopes that we will have them by
the latter part OF next week.
The back creek bridge, which has been
impossible for some time is now In the
hands of Mr.. Glow, our enterprise ng
bridge builder, aud John Weaver, car
peDter, will soon be ready for travel
again. Our bridges are great expense
to the tax payer, owing to the constant
travel to and from Bay Ridge, and the
surrounding country, and 1t would be
good idea to Spite these bridges closely,
and make a good shell road on each side
of the draws, which would do away with
the constant repairing, as there would be
nothing but the draw to keep In repair.
Captain Charles Barnes and family who
recently bought the Southgate property,
near the bridge, have returned from their
visit to New York state, and have
brought with them their beautiful little
steamer. Capt. Barnes Intends placing
her upon route between Eastport, An
napolis and intermediate landings on the
Severn river, which will be a great con-
yenience to the farmers and others during
the fall and winter months.
Mr. Phillip Stevens, one OF our most
worthy villagers, who recently lost q
bright little boy from diphthera few days
ago has the sympathy of the parents as
he was bright little fellow and the joy
of their household.
Our Public school Is well attended and
progressing under the admirable manage
ment Of the teachers, Miss Nellie Woods
and Miss Naomi Hawkins. There Is no
care of sickness In our village and there
been but one death in the past year, which
speaks we'll for the health of COM
munity of about seven hundred and fifty
inhabitants.
The tent meetings are still going on
under the management of Rev. s. Shan
non of Wesley Chapel, Annapolis, and
are well attended, considering the In
clement weather which we have had for
the past week.
