RIVER WORK COMMENDED.
The Philadelphia Board OF Trade Expresses
Confidence in the Engineers.

Confidence in the Engineers.
At meeting of the executive coun-
Gil OF the Philadelphia Board of Trade
Monday the following preamble and
resolutions, submitted by the joint COM
mittees on the improvement Of the
harbor and foreign and coastwise COM
merce we're unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The SUCCESS Of Philadelphia
as a commercial port ia largely de-
pendent upon the earliest improvement
of the navigation of the Delaware bay
and river; and
Whereas, 1t is believed that the
United States Engineer Department is
fully alive to the great Importance of
completing the work of the said i'm
provement, and has adopted engineer
ing methods calculated to secure the
best and quickest results for the
amelioration of the conditions SO un-
favorabiy affecting Philadelphia as a
seaport; and
Whereas. The highest confidence is
entertained in the ability and integrity
OF purpose Of the United States En-
gineers a confidence warranted by the
experience of the past; therefore,
Resolved, That the Philadelphia
Board of Trade deprecates the un-
warranted criticisms of the plans of
the United States Engineers for carry
ing on the improvement of the channel
way of the Delaware bay and river,
having every confidence in the wisdom
and ultimate success of their methods
and plans.
Resolved. That copy of the fore
going be transmitted to the Secretary
Of War and Major @. ". Raymond,
Corps Of Engineers, United States
Army.
The same committee, in another re-
port, made reference to the contract
for deepening the channel over Cherry
Island flats, and to the probability
that the city of Philadelphia will, at
an early date, ask for proposals for
the removal of the shoals at Greenwich
Point and widening the main ship
channel at Mitilin bar. Note was made
of the hearing in this city on Friday on
the Reedy Island dixie project
The report also stated that during
September, 4S0, 600 cubic yards Of
material were removed under the con-
tract for tho improvement of Philadel-
phia harbor, making an aggregate of
16, 600, 600 cubic yards removed since
june 1st, 1893. By this work channel
nearly 1000 feet wide and 26 feet deep
has been created along the entire
Philadelphia front from opposite
Kaighn's Point to Fishers Point, and
large amount of additional work done
upon the remaining eastern part of tho
channel The entire improvement will
be completed before the close Of next

evidence you are satisfied, that there
have been any material alterations
made after the note was endorsed and
delivered to tho defendant without
their consent, this action cannot be
sustained. Such alterations, however,
must be material, changing the charac-
ter OF the instrument or the relation of
the parties thereto. Mere change in
the color OF the ink; the addition Of a
number by the plaintiff for conven-
ience, or other immateriaI alterations
would not vitiate the note il it re-
mained materially the same. Even if
the changes were material, yet if they
we're made before execution and deliv.
cry, in the presence of and with the
consent Of the defendants, the note is
valid.
Therefore, If you believe from the
evidence, that the lost note was in
writing, under seal, signed by the de-
fendants, executed and delivered to the
plaintiff for the payment of s93 29,
dated and maturing as alleged, and not
materially altered without the consent
of the defendants, your verdict should
bo for the plaintiff. Otherwise, for the
defendants.
The Jury returned verdict for the
plaintiff for Sll0.72.

The plans for the Delaware Glue
Works near Newport, as prepared by
E. l.. Rice. Jr., call for a two-story
frame factory with ground area of
1900 square feet. The works will
have 56 concrete lining watts, 10
boiling tanks, two wash mills and
eight steep Yates. There will be a
heated tunnel with GA little tram cars
that carry nets covered with glue
sheets. As the cars pass through the
tunnel the glue sheets are dried.
Thence they 60 nto the hot room where
the sheets are taken from the nets and
piled up. Thence they go 10 the
breaking room, where they are examined
and distributed for this different grades,
and are broken up and barrelled up for
market. Capt. Rice says that no hoofs,
horns or bones are to be used, but
refuse of morocco factories, raw hide
and substances of that sort will be
used. The works may also manufacture
gelatine from the knuckle-a and foot of
veal

A survey has been held on the ferry

crushed in by colliding with fleet of
Baltimore & Ohio car floats in tow of

A DIFFERENCE IN NAMES.
Opinions That All Votes Cast for James G..
Shaw and James @. Shaw, Sr., Will Count
for One nlan,

Opinions That All Votes Cast for James g.
Shaw and James @. Shaw, sr., will Count
for One alan.
The question has been raised as to
the effect OF the names James G. Shaw
and james q. Shaw, Sr., on tho official
ballot. The Regular Republican ticket
has the name in tho first way on it's
list of Presidential elector candidates,
and the Union Republican ticket has
it in the second form. The question is
whether votes cast on the different
tickets will count for the same man
or for separate persons. When Walter
ii. Hayes, who is Union Republican
was asked about il he said, "We nomi-
mated james q. Shaw, the elder -
And he declared that they" that is,
the Regulars, made the blunder.
William O. Spruance, who had been
nominated as an elector and later
Withdrew, was asked his opinion of the
matter. He declared that there was no
blunder. 1t was not unusual. he said,
for the elder of two persons, as father
to use the name senior - Mr.. James
A. Bayard, never used the name
senior, although he had son of the
same name and Thomas r. Bayard,
who has son of the same name never
used the senior. Mr.. Spruance himself
has son who bears his name but the
father never uses slthes senior. Further
Mr Spruance said z Mr.. Shaw never
signed his name senior in his life.
James G. Shaw means the father
whether it has senior or not. 1t is
usual for the son to use the name
junior There can be in this case no
possible ground for confusion; the
,1 x.Ef 4 1. "a
Mr. Spruance declared that no matter
what the election officers did, those
who made the ultimate count would be
bound to count all the votes for one
man.
City Solicitor Robert g. Harman,
when asked concerning the matter
name having been spelled 'Slughter,
they are practically Of the same sound,
unquestionably applies. Thus when
Mr.. Eckles Of New Castle ran a short
time ago upon the Legislative ticket,
his name having been incorrectly
spelled, the same question arose, but
his real name and the name as spelled
being of the same sound the above
principle was held to apply and no
question was raised about il.
As to the second question Of the
ballots containing James @. Shaw and
James g. Shaw, ST., there can be no
possibility of doubt as senior would
be treated as mere surplusage. Had it
even been James q. Shaw, ST., and
James q. Shaw, Jr., representing
two persons. even in this case the
voters intention would have been
accepted and upon it's being shown
that he intended it to ne for James
@. Shaw, Sr., IT would be so counted.
The law as above explained has been SO
decided in New York and also by the
House of Representatives. There can
therefore be no question that votes cast
either for James g. Shaw or James
q. Shaw, Sr., will be counted for one
man.

r. $. BRADLEY DEPOsED.


Too Much Tinixie of Addiclss' Bell for the
Regular Republican First District Com
nittee.
The Regular Republican First Dis
trict Committee at a meeting Monday
night dropped Francis S. Bradley from
it's membership. For years Bradley has
been an active worker. In the First
District Committee, he was a repre-
sentative from the Ninth ward. The
trouble with Mr.. Bradley is that he
afiiliates with the Addicks people. Such
action is repugnant to the First Dis
trict Committee and last night Mr..
Bradley was dropped. John Emmering
was named to take Mr.. Bradley's place
as Ninth ward representative.
Complaints in matters of registration
were reported to the committee. 1t
was said that some registration officers
had refused to fully qualify colored
men, disputing their residences, whereas
this, it was claimed, should be left to
the challengers on election day.
