Interesting Information in Regard to
Harbor improvements and Trade sta
tistics of Delaware Ports.
The annual report of General w. F.
Smith of this city, upon the improve
ments of rivers and harbors in Della
ware and the Peninsula is just to hand.
1t contains great mass of most in
teresting information
In regard to Wilmington harbor the
report treats upon the contract for deep
ening the harbor made with the Atlas
Dredging Company in February, 1891.
The approved project of improvement
is for a 15-foot low-water channel, $50
feet wide from the mouth of the Chris
tiana river TO the rolling mill wharf
(i,750 feet above the outer end of the
jetty), 100 feet wide from this wharf to
the DelawareS Western railroad bridge,
and 70 feet wide from this bridge to the
pulp works; also for u channel, IL feet
deep and 30 feet wide from the pulp
works to the Delaware railroad bridge,
and for the construction of n ietty lao
feet long on the north side of the mouth
of the river. The board of engineers,
which recommended these improve
ments in 1881 estimated the total cost at
$l75,55l. The construction of the jetty
and dredging operations were begun
the following year. The annual report
of the chief of engineers for 1888 gave a
revised estimate for the completion Of
the above project. This estimate IN
creased the channel width of the whole
section from the rolling mill wharf to
the pulp works to $50 feet, and did not
include the l2-fOOt channel previously
estimated for from the pulp works to
the Delaware railroad bridge, the total
cost being given at $19l,3S4, exclusive
of the expense of building the lefty,
which was then nearly completed. A
modification of the plan of the jetty
was made and approved in 1884, pro-
viding for an additional height Of feet
and antextension Of 329 feet in length.
The former work was done the follow
ing year.
Simple reference is made to the fact
of the congressional commission APP
pointed September, 1890, to make recon-
mendations for the perm9ncnt improve.

NEW CASTLE. Dec. l0.--'rhe appointment
OF deputy collector of this port, which
was bone of contention among the Re
publicans previous to the election, is no
more talked of. and il is evident that all
the applicants for the position have practi
cally gwen up the idea of receiving the
appointment. The salary of the office is
5000 per year, with an extra allowance for
rent, fuel, light, stationery &c, and the
lahors are not ut all arduous, Ex-Mayur
samuel II. Black, a Democrat, is the
present incumbent. He has served one
term Of four years and was reappointcd by
ex Collector Of the Port Of Wilmington
Henry +. Pickles. As soon as the present
collector. Mr.. Townsend, was sworn in
he was ut once ovcrrun with Republican
applications for the position. The aspir.
ants represented all classes of the party
and it seemed imminent that should the
appointment he made then, there would
be some dissatisfaction just about election
time so the matter was postponed until
Harrison and the Republican party should
be reelected To power. "Ihc next day it
showed however, aud knocked the
prospects Of the wouid-be collectors into Il
cooked hat. il is very probable that Mr..
Black will continue in Office, as Collector

should serve as suggestion to physi

mother of the household referred to fell
and sprained her ankle as she was about
to enter her carriage in front of her resi-.
dence. She was Immediately assisted
into the house and tAe coachman dis
patched to the family physician.
He soon returned with the word that
the doctor was out, and round among
the medical Offices followed with the
same result. Every physician in that
neighborhood appeared to have the same
Office hours and not one could be reached.
1t was over an hour before the suffering
woman got medical assistance, and then
it was through her work in certain
hospital that one of the Surgeons was dis
patched to her relief.
1t would seem to be a good plan for
doctors to arrange their Office hours with
some regard to those of other medical
men in the same district, 80 that one or
two should be always on call, good as
well for the profession as for the laity.-
