Eminent prison authorities say that the average cost Of eonvicting and sending man to the peniten- tiary is 5000. They estimate the cost of maintaining the prisons at $l5,OO0,O00 year, and say this is but small proportion of the cost defending property and life. To this must be added another Sl5.OOO,- 0OO yearly for keeping up the po- lice department. Then We have to maintain the ponderous and expen- sive system of courts. What pro portion of this expense is for crini naIs It is difficult to say, aad IL Is impossible to tell the worth of goods and money stolen and destroyed by criminals each year.

The snnctiGed Colonists Mt North
Carolina.

Norfolk, Va, May 20.-The sancti-
fed colonists, who were driven from
Chincoteague Island some time ago
by the outraged natives, many of
whose families were broken up by
the peculiar faith of the band, are
now living in their arks on the Chow
an river, near the North Carolina
line. The people in the vicinity OF
the sanctifcationist headquarters,
however, have become tired of their
proximity, and the leader Lynch has
received moving orders from the in
dignant farmers Whereabouts. The
sanctifed say they will move rather
than risk another battle Of the kind
they had at Chincoteague and later
in North Carolina, when volleys were
fired by both sides. The residents OF
the surrounding country declare that
unless the band vacates, and quickly,
they will use force to compel them.

To Mark the Boundary.

The boundary line between Vir
ginia and Maryland waters, which
has been for some time imperfectly
marked, will, in the near future, be
resurveyed with a view to ending
the controversy as to the respective
rights OF crabbers and oystermen of
the two States.
At least this has been agreed upon
by the Governors OF the States, and
Governor Lowndes having already
appointed commissioner to look
after Maryland's interests in the re-
marking of the line, Governor OFFER
rail- will, in the next day or so, do
likewise, appointing, it is thought,
some one Of the public men in Ac-
comac or Northampton counties to
represent Virgi3!a.
The Maryland commissioner is Col.
Thomas 7. Hodson. and he, together
with Secretary of.Stata Dallam, came
to Richmond yesterday to submit
proposition from Governor Lowndes
to Virginia's Executive. The two
gentlemen were accompanied to the
gubernatorial mansion yesterday
morning by Mr.. A. j. Ewell, of the
Baltimore Suns local staff, and the
three were cordially received by
Governor O'Ferrall, who expressed a
desire to lave the boundary line
properly marked, and signified his
purpose of CO operating with the
Maryland authorities in every way
possible with view to effecting that
result.
Colonel Hodson told the Governor
that his idea was to have new buoys
placed along the boundary between
the States, and he suggested that in
view of the fact that the line had
been almost completely lost, the two
Governors unite, as was done when
it was last marked off, in q request
to the General Government to fur
nish one of its engineers to make the
survey.
Gov. O'Ferrall readily acquiesced
in the suggestions of Colonel Hold
son, and said that he would appoint
Virginia's commissioner at once, and
would advise Governor Lowndes OF
the appointment as soon as made
The Marylanders expressed them
selves as being greatly pleased with
their conference with Gov. O'Ferrall,
and they will return to Baltimore
this morning.
The boundary line will not have to
be laid off again. That has long
since been established, but the crab
bersin Pocomoke and Tangier sounds,
having practically destroyed all the
buoys which were located to mark
of the boundary, the line will have
to be resurveyed and new buoys
located. The government will not
of course, make any charge for the
services of the engineer to be loaned
the State, but Virginia and Maryland
will have to furnish the buoys, Their
cost being divided between the two
States. 1t is estimated that the tota
cost will be about $5OO.-RichmonC
