let Us Get to the Riyer.

Let Us Get to the River.
The Levy Court should not hesitate
to accept the new bridge across tho
Brandywine near Its mouth from the
owners of the Cherry Island Marsh.
There are one thousand acres of this
marsh, which is better adapted to sites
for manufactures than for any other
purpose. For over one hundred year 8
the Cherry Island Marsh Company,
has been taxed at the rate OF fifty cents
an acre per annum and they have
never received any aid from the ooun-
ty In the building OF bridges, the con-
ftruction of dykes, entertainments or
any other improvement. In one hum
dred years the county has received
In taxes from these marshes $50, 900.
The rapid march of improvements
has already covered the marshes with
O net work of constructed and pro-
posed railroads. There was no room
for them in the city and they were
pushed out over the marshes.
For the last forty years the city of
Wilmington has been looking for a
thoroughfare to the Delaware and a
wharf upon the same at which vessels
could stop. A route south of the
Chlistiana for long time was favored
and then the Vandever avenue route
was favored. The first was abandoned
because the river front at that point
<x,ae NOT thouuht an{tohIa Fr,. a landip ~
and the latter because it was too much
OF a round about way to get into the
city. The Seventh aud Fourth street.
route was always favored ms the short
; est and most direct but Objectionable
because of the expense requisite In
bridging the Brandywine. This is no
longer an objection, as the marsh
owners themselves have bridged the
Brandywine at an expense Of 5000 and
they offer the bridge as free gift to
the county, the latter only required to
be at the expense Of bridge tender,
and keep the bridge in repair. BY the
acceptance of this bridge direct and
feasible route to the Delaware is as.
sured, just what the people have long
wanted.
The opening Of this thoroughfare will
no doubt be the commencement era Of
long line of public and private i'm
provemcnts. Manufactures no doubi
will spring up all along the liue and II
plain view comes a wharf upon the
Delaware and electric cars to the same
The opening Of this thoroughfare TO
the river will be some advantage tt

but why are they not entitled to ad
vantages as much as owners OF Other
property on other avenues OF improve
mont They have been tax payers fol-
over century, they certainly are EN-
Titled to consideration But the
owners of the marsh will not be the
only parties benefited. The enhance,
value of property and improvements
on the same will benefit both county
and city in increased taxes flowing in,
TO their treasures.

Germsnia and Columbia to music. When
the curtain rose 10 presented Miss Minnie

and her attitude gracefully staturesque.
About her in semi-circle, so as to form

PREPARING FOR AN OUTING.
The Lee-Camp Veterans Arranging for a
Summer Trip.

A large and very interesting meeting OF
Lee Camp was held last night. The first
general orders of Colonel Thomas A. Bran
der upon assuming the position of grand
commander were published to the camp.
They announced the appointment OF james
n. Stubbs, of John K. Cooke Camp, Glou-
cester. and J. +. Rockwell. of A. 7. Hill
Camp, Petersburg.
The report of the action of the Grand
Camp allowing the subordinate camps 20
take such steps As they may deem best IN
reference to uniting with the United Con-
tederate Veterans was announced, and by
a recorded vot0 the camp decided to join
the association.
The camp is still actively engaged
in making arrangements for their
summer encampment. A proposition
was received from the managers of
the Ocean View Hotel. and the committee
will consider the matter and report TO the
camp ON Friday night. IL Is probable that
quite a number of the members will 60
and many of the lady friends will accom-
pany them. and pleasant time ~ antici-
pated. This will be the first time ia about
n years that old Confederate soldiers have
gone into camp. and it bids fair 10 be "a
memorable event in the history of-the or
ganiZation.
Very gratifying reports Of the progress
of the work on southern school history
were received. Much of the work has
been done, and 1t is hoped that very soon
the volume will be offered to the school
authorities for adoption.

THE GEsANevERElN VIRGINIA.
Celebration of the Fortieth Anniversary
of the Society Last Night.

The celebration of the tortieth anniver-
sarv of the Gesangverein Virginia at
Sanger Hall last night was grand sue
cess, Notwithstanding that the heavy rain
OF Thursday necessitated a decided change
in the programme. The festival instead
of being held in the garden came on in
doors, but the committee, consisting OF
Messrs. w. II. Zimmerman, j. L. Kohler,
George Kline. II. G.. Miller. and Hermann
Schmidt, were equal to the occasion.
In the porch on the lower floor of the
building. opening out upon the garden,
were stationed the orchestra, and placed
tables for the active or singing members
of the organization, while two long tables
for the other members and the ladies
stretched the full length OF the dining
room. These latter tables were presided
over by Messrs. Oscar Cranz. Sr.. and A.
Glpperich, respectively; were handsomely
decorated with ferns and flowers and laden
with viands. After an overture by the
orchestra AIR. w. Ii. Zimmerman. chairman
ofthe Festival Committee, opened the CON-
mers with q brief speech.
This was followed by chorus by the
Gesangyerein. and then MIR. j. j. SpllliDg,
president of tho society. presented Mr..
Oscar Cranz, Sr., who has been chosen as
tue festival president. MIR. Cranz pre-
sented Mr.. Gepperich, the first regular
president or the society. anu tuls gentle
man introduced Mr.. II. q. Miller. the
festival orator. Between the speeches
music was rendered by both the orchestra
and the chorus.
Mr.. MIILER's SPEECH.
Mr. Miller spoke about twenty minutes
and commanded the earnest attention of
his hearers. His address was mainly O
history of the society. whose existence he
divided into three periods, IS follows:
From organization to 1850, during the
war aud from the close of the war to date.
beginning with the organization of the
Gesangverein as little singing society in
ls52. he traced its ups and downs and its
development TO its present proportions.
sketched its musical triumphs. gave
"reminiscences Of many ofits members. and
told anecdotes in which some OF them
figured that were exceedingly anus
ING. At the beginning of his re-
marks he exhibited the minutes Of
tho first meeiiag Of the society,
which were in the handwriting Of Mr..
Cranz. and signed by him and soms ten
others. OF those who appended their sig
natures 10 this document Mx. Crank y the
