Melvin's Truck Farms on the Severn
are an enterprise which offers great
inducements to all desiring small farms
of good soil and very desirable loea-
ton. They adjoin West Annapolis,
with which beautiful suburb they will
soon be connected, by a substantial
bridge oyer Weem's Creek. Nr. Melvin
has shown great push and good man
agement in securing this bridge. Hav.
ing obtained from the Legislature this
session an act authorizing him TO con
struct the bridge, he has placed it un
der contract, with Mr.. Nathaniel
Glow, who expects to complete it early
in May. Work is being vigorously
pushed, and whether the weather is
good or bad we look forward to the
prompt finish of this very desirable
and important improvement. AS the
spring opens many visitors aud pros
pectors will be down and real estate
business promises to be lively. The
sales of these truck farms will not only
add TO the population and wealth of
the suburbs of Annapolis, but will
contribute an important source of
supply to our markets. These lands
are particularly adapted to the growth
of vegetables and fruits. And located
as they are so near the city aud with
good road approaches there can be lit
tie doubt but that they will under
proper management be successful.
We understand that quite number
of Germans, who ale we'll sversed in
the culture of fruits aud vegetables
and who are an industrious aud thrift
ty people, have applied for these
farms. They will come with more or
less capital, SO that Helvin's truck
farms will soon be an important feed
err to our markets, and auxiliaryto the
progress and prosperity of this COM
munity. Mr.. Melvin has the pluck,
trifes do not scare him. and we may
expect success as the result. The
EVENING CAPITAL for bis own sake
and for the sake of this city and coun-
ty predicts for him prosperous sea-
son and extends its best wishes and
encouragement. We should all be
glad to see Mr.. Melyin's enterprises
prosper because as a community we
shall all share substantially in the
prosperity.

The spring sales at this delightful
suburb West Annapolis are starting
up With fine prospects ahead for a busy
season. The sales of nearly two hun
dred lots mp 10 date, have paved the
way for substantial progress this year.
As the spring opens Mr.. Melvin will
push the sales and improvements, and
great results may confidently be pre-
dicted for the season Of %. All look
ahead TO the development of West
Annapolis with hope and pride that
is phenomenal and very assuring. AT
an early date quite number of pur.
chasers are expected to build. So, be-
fore long, we may look for the signs
of busy workmen over there, while the
sound of the saw and hammer with
the merry rattle of bricks will indicate
that the work has begun in earnest.
Would il not be we'll for persons who
want lots TO be locating them, and by
small payment to secure the seleo-
ton that best suits themq Before they
know 1t the very lots they want win
be sold. You can't place q limit on
these enterprises. They break out like
prairie fire where you least expect
and spread out into unexpected di.

Disgusting Scenes.

The scenes at the close of the proceed
ings of the Legislature last night were
not only out of place but disgusting, and
many ladies, who had visited the halls

hilarious crowd Governor Brown
promptly came on the scene when he
found the State House in danger of be-
ing set on fire, and number OF firemen,
including Fire Marshal Brewer. appre.
hending danger, were on hand to ex-
tinguish the threatened conflagration.-
Altogether, the closing exercises did not
reflect credit on an Assembly of Mary

Legislative Deficiency.

The extravaganza of the Legislature
is evidenced by the fact that so late as
yesterday Mr.. McSherry introduced a
bill, under suspension of the rules, to
provide for the deficiency for the legis.
tive session. The limit named in the
bill is $4,000 though IL is said that the
deficiency will amount TO but little more
than $4,000. This is ahead of the re-
cord. The session of 1890 spent $110,-
600 of the $4,000 appropriated for the
purpose, The appropriation bill passed
at that session named $4,000 as the
amount to meet the expenses Of the SEES
sion just closed. The orders, resolu.
tions, &c, that have been promiscuously,
adopted during the session TO pay mon.
ey for sundry purposes exhausted this
amount and made the introduction Of
this deficiency bill necessary

Annapolis Extension,

The Murray Hill opening this sea-
son promises gratifying results. Mr..
hewitt Steele's handsome cottage is
ready for occupancy and plans for
Rev. DR.. Southgate's cottage are in
the contractors hands. From this
time on, Murray Hill may be counted
a success. The city council will com
plete the grading of Franklin street,
which will then be direct and con-
venient approach to the centre of the
city. The conspicuous placing of the
street names is among the latest inn
provements. Parties can now locate
their lots by the streets and corners,
and by reference to the complete and
accurate map at Mr.. Gelvin's Office
can readily get number of lot and
block for accurate description. We
cannot too favorably notice the desir-
able location of these lots. They are
contiguous to the heart of the city,
only two or three blocks from Church
Circle, within view and in sound of the
tawp clock; some of them only one
block from A. w. q Il. railway station
and the city stores. They occupy an
elevated plateau, with perfect drain
age by reason of the fine fall, both in
the front and rear of the hill, to Spa
Greek. Pay Director Murray's hand
some lawn adds the charm of park
TO the situation. The higher lots
command fine glimpses Of the river
and bay, while the air is pure and the
home lots roomy. BY settling drive
wells pure water can be obtained, or
connections can be readily made with
the city water mains.
