Where the Ocean is Four Miles
Dsep.
From the Nautical Magazine.
Proceeding westward from the Irish
coast the ocean bed deepens very grad
ually; for the first $50 miles the gradient
is butte feet to the mile. In the next
90 miles the fall is over 5000 feet, and so
preciptious is the descent that in many
places depths of 1900 to 1000. fathoms
are encountered in very close proximity
to the 100 fathom line. With the depth
of 800 to 1000 fathoms the sea bed be-
comes a slightly undulating plain 200
miles wide. The greatest depth in the
Atlantic is 800 miles or SO northward of
the island of St. Thomas, where sound
ings of 1876 fathoms were obtained, or
nearly four miles in Depth

fused to grant new trial to JAS. 6.
Richardson, convicted of rioting and
sentenced to pay fine of $50 and to be
confined in jail thirty days, but added

Governor elect O'Ferrall will resign
his seat in Congress on the 2Sth inst,
and Governor Mckinney will then issue,
says the Richmond State, his proclama-
ton for an election to be held in the
Seventh District, to fill the vacancy.
The Governor adheres to his former
position that he has no authority, to
order such an election until the vacan-
CIV actually occurs. Colonel O'Ferrall
does not, he says, forfeit his seat in Con
gress by the simple notification that he
will at given time tender his resigna
tion, and many things might occur,
within the range of human possibility,
to cause him at the last moment to re-
consider his determination and to hold
on to his seat in Congress, inste nd of
qualifying as Governor of Virginia.
Therefore, reasons Governor Mckinney,
nothing can be taken for granted, and
he must wait until he is officially noti--
ed of Colonel O'Ferrall's resignation, be-
fore he can legally order an election to
fill the vacancy.

mand more for they assert no other interest,
than that of creditors. We are inclined to
think that, as creditors they have no interest
in this question at all. This seems TO be
warranted from the following quotation
from the opinion in the Blumenthal case
''While it is true, as was said in Rauden-
busch's case, 100 Pa. st., 32s that neither the
petitioner nor any other person in this state
has any property in the right to sell liquors
yet il is also true that when the state grants
a license to a man for that purpose, the latter
acquires privilege to sell liquors for a speci-
fed time, for which he has paid the Com
monwealth valuable consideration. The
privilege, however, is personal ami Is not
oSSignable nor does IL 90 to the personal
representatives IN case of death." Under
these circumstances what interest or right
has creditor in the question whether or
not the court shall transfer the license to
another occupant of the house IT, as has
been decided, we may transfer a license in
proper case without the consent Of the
owner to whom the privilege is personal,
there would seem to be no reason why his
creditors should have to be consulted

THE KIND THAT CURES"
AN APPEAL TAKEN.

The Water Works Case Goes TO the
Supreme Court.
A committee of the Shenandoah Water and
Gas Company went to POttsville to-day and
entered proceedings for an appeal to the
Supreme Court for the eastern district of
Pennsylvania in the case of the bill in equity
of NJ. P. Fowler and Others against the
borough ef Shenandoah, and also certioria
to the judgment on the petition for the set
ting aside of the election held for increasing
the Indebtedness of the borough Both these
writs will be granted by the Supreme Court,
and will be filed in our Court of Common
Pleas and Court of Quarter Sessions. 1t is
proposed that these writs will be supersedas
and will therefore prevent any further action
by the borough towards establishing public
water works until the entire question shall
be disposed of by the Supreme Court.

SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT.



Great Interest Ia Manifested over the
Matter.
The election of Martin P. Whitaker as
superintendent of the public schools of this
boroupb has caused more interest and COM
ment than has been manifested in any5hlnF,
since the interest in public water w6,rbss
waned. Mr.. Whitaker's friends ON yns one
hand stand by the appointment and claim it
is nothing more than a just recognition of
ability. On the other hand the opposition
{ claims that it does not think Mr.. Whitaker
is qualified for the position.
Inquiry last night elected the statement
that the formal protest made before the
School Board on Tuesday night by the six
members voting against Mr.. Whitaker was
determined one and not bluff" 1t is said
{ the protest was made not because there is any
} personal feeling against Mr. Whitaker, but
I because the parties who made it honestly
3 believe that the gentleman is not competeht
to fill the place, and nothing but an exami-
nation by the State Board of Public Instruc-
tion will be satisfactory.
l 1t is understood that all the papers to
bring the matter officially before the atten-
ton Of the State Superintendent are ready
and will reach headquarters before the close
of the present week
The cOntesting parties claim that under
the law when one-ffth of the membership of
a School Board believes that an unqualified
or incompetent person is elected to a super
, intendency of schools that one.f fifth of the
= membership may protest and the State De-
, partment will require the party elected to
stand an examination before the State Board
of Examiners
1t is said that thirty days must elapse
before the commission can be issued to Mr..
Whitaker and that will afford ample time to
arrange the examination.
