Phoebe possesses very large amount
of inventive talent in proportion to the
size of population, and for some little
time past, inventors, inventions and the
general patent laws have been freely dis
cursed. The object which has brought
about this sudden interest is window.
shade invented some time ago by G. E.
Goodrich here. and on which patent is
about to issue. A. sample curtain has
been hung in the house Of John Shier, on
Meadow Valley street, for week or
more, and all who have seen it operated
predict large sale for it,.
The object aimed at in the invention is
to secure perfect ventilation of apart.
ments from the upper half Of windows,
etc., without having window shades de.
stroyed by wind, etc., and at the same
time govern the volume Of light in the
room. This is accomplished by means
Of springs aud steel tapes, by which the
curtain roller can be lowered or raised at
will from the upper part of the window,
while the shade can be adjusted in any
position below. The principle is similar
to that employed in the Hartshorn
window shade, and the working models
act perfectly. The model on exhibition
during the past week has attracted such
attention that Mr.. Goodrich has received
offers to patent the shade in several
foreign countries, and application for All
English patent has already gone forward.
This invention is one only Of number
which have originated here Of late. Ted
Gentry Of Panaca last fall invented q

with wagon makers and which promises
to make money for its holders.

enough to give this letter your attention, and
oDlige: etc.
The position taken by the Water De-
partmcnt is that the vibration from the
passing of street cars over the bridge may
injnre the water mains.
In regard t. the Levy Court, the COM
misionels hayc received no intmation nor
application from the Wilmington CITY
Railway Company as to the desire Cf that
company to run car track over the bridge
Ofcour.e the commissioners IRE acquainted
with the common rumors that such is the
intention.
At the time Of the final discussion of the
bridge question last autumn the last COM
muiication from the Water Department
was 10 the effect that they could not
promise OF engage to make any payment
until the pipes are laid. The counsel of
the department advised the commissioners
that they could not pay money over or
promise to do 81 only for value received.
From the above it may no deduced that
the county may have to pay an additional

Repairs OIL Two city Bridges--Th Mat
ter of Funding Part of the County Debt.


Repairs OH Two city Bridges The Mat
ter of Funding Part of the County Debt.
The Levy Court Commissioners met in
regular session Tuesday morning.
Engineer Comfy who has charge of the
repairs of the Market and Third streets
bridges was present and made report. 1t
is understood that Third street bridge Is
now in good condition. The proposition
in regard to Market street bridge is to sur
round the gearing with iron bands which
would keep it free from damage by drift.
There was question as to whether new
boiler is needed. but il is thought that
the present one when fixed IN is quite
good for a few years.
There was proposition made to raise
the bridge, so Us g place the machinery
above the possibility Of damage from
freshets or floating ice 1t seems, however,
that that would require the approaches
also to be raised, thus calling for an ex-
penditnre of $4,000 or Sl2,OJD. The idea
Of such q large outlay Of money Is not
looked upon with any degree of favor.
The matter of issuing bonds for the sum
of Sl6o,UD as allowed by the Legislature,
was occupying the attention OF the COM
mission.
The sum of 100000 has to be raised by
bonds to secure that amount for paying
for the Washington street bridge. In re.
gard to the balance of So, 900 this sum is
to meet the yearly interest item of 80 900
that the Levy Court has failed to pay for
the past five years. The interest was due
on the slsO,OO0 county debt. The intention
is to bond this debt at lower rate of in
terest than that of 4 per cent, whichis now
being paid.
Contractor Robert r. Morrison appeared
before the court and offered to rip.rap the
river road marsh bank on the Chrlstiana,
for the sum of 81 900. The legislature has
authorized an expenditure of not more
than s., 900 OH this work.
On the motion of Commissioner Gala
CHER, Engineer tieorge N. Comfy was
authorized to ask for estimates for gates
for the three city draw bridges at Third,
Eleventh and Market street.
On the motion of Commissioner Mealey
the necessary repairs for bridgetender's
house at Third street were authorized to
be made.
Engineer Comfy reported repairs being
made at Eleventh street bridge. The Off
cial complained of as u serious matter the
quick rate at which electric cars cross the
bridge. A car causes a detection of of
an inch as compared with one of OF an
inch as an average wagon passes.
Inc faster car goes the greater the
tendency to jar the bridge.
Commissioner Gallagher reported he had
seen Superintendent Heger of the City
Railway Company, who has promised to
see that the cars cross the bridge ut slow
rate.
Court adjourned to 2 p. III.

The fast express of the Royal Blue

The accident occurred at Concord

the Baltimore IL Ohio railroad, when
the carriage containing the couple was
struck by the train Sunday night, April
10Th, and one Of them dashed to almost
