IMPROVEMENTS AT LEWES.
A NEW WHARF AND COAIMODIOUs
STATION TO BE BUILT.


President William H. Bosley, of the
Queen Anne railroad, has inspected
the terminal property of the company,
with the view of starting a number of
important improvements 1t is con-
to build a large wharf and
erect commodious station. A large
business is expected by the company
when the road is completed to Lewes.
which will be early in November The
road owns 800 feet of water front op-
posite the Breakwater, which was do
mated by the city There is water from
15 to 80 feet deep on this water front.
and It's location Is considered advan-
tageous for loading vessels OF deep
draught.
Arrangements are now being made
for the establishment of a line of
steamers to run from Lewes to Cape
May and points on the Jersey coast. On
September l the road will be opened to
Milton, Del, which is nine miles from
Lewee. II now runs to Glendale. IL is
planned to put an additional steamer
on between Baltimore and Queenstown
within the next sixty days The rail
road recently secured a new engine and
additional box cars.
President Bosley said that the traffic
has taxed the equipment Of the road
and more box cars, as well as additional
passenger coaches, are necessary. He
added that the road had been in opera,
tion only three months. and although
It was expected to operate the line al
tho start at a loss, there Is already &
comfortable balance on the right sid,

WILL SUE COLUMBIA.
Comptroller Harris Wants $4,000 for
Unpaid Taxes.

Comptroller Harris Wants $500 for
Unpaid Taxes.
Comptroller Harris has "agitated'
nearly all the cities in the State by
declaring his intention to sue them
for unpaid Recorders Court taxes to
the amount of $l38,900. Columbia is
in the list, and the Comptroller esti-
mates the amount due from this
city at $500.
In 1881 the Legislature passed an
act taxing all cases in recorders
police and mayors courts SO for eac h
case. This law ran until 1885, when
it was changed so as to make the tax
81 on each case. The one dollar tax
was on until 1895, when the law was
repealed. This money was to be
paid the State provided the cash was
collected on fine; not if it was
worked out.
Mr.. Harris says that in nearly al
of the cities in the State, people
were indicted, fined and let off of all
except the fine. Then people were
arrested and put up foreitures and
failed to appear for trial. The Su
preme Court at Jackson held the
other day that the State was enti'
tied to the costs in all these cases
The State will file suits against al
of the delinquent cities through
Chancery.
Mr.. Harris estimates the amour
from the population of the cities
and places Columbia at $500, al
though the exact amount is not we
known.

A SAD AFFLICTI0N.
Overwork and Study Unbalanced aYoung

Overwork and Study Unbalanced aYoung
Mans Mind.
Officer James Roberts carried
Henry Sowell to the State Asylum
for the Insane, at Nashville, last
Tuesday morning. Henry Sowell
is young man, about 81 years of
age, and the son of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
X. p. Sowell in South Columbia.
He has been connected with the
Racket store for the past seven years,
and in every way gave satisfaction
to his employers, and was liked and
respected by everyone. The first
evidences of his mind being unbal-
anced were noticed about two weeks
ago, but the fact did not become
generally known until Tuesday of
last week. He gradually grew
worse, and Monday his actions be-
came so violent that the officers
thought best to put him in jail until
he could be carried to the Asylum.
1t is supposed that the strain upon
his mind and body produced by
overwork and study was the cause
of the sad misfortune. His many
friends hope for him a speedy re.
covery from his affection, and
trust that the past promises of a
useful life may yet be realized.
