contract for s5oO,OoO to begin work on the
thirty foot channel. The bill appropriates
100000 for the continuation of work on
the twenty-slx foot channel project. Of
which the secretary Of war may use as
much as, in his opinion, may be required
between Trenton and Christian street
Philadelphia. The balance is available
for work on the thirty foot channel un-
der the continuing contract authorized
for S5OO,OOO. My own idea is to take about
100000 and remove the rock IN the har-
hor of Petty Island TO a depth Of twenty.
six feet. Its location Is above Christian
street. There is now about twenty-five
feet over the rock at low water There
would. perhaps be a few thousand dol
lars required for improvements between
here and Trenton. and the remainder o.
the appropriation. a little less than $500.
600, would be available for work next
season under the thirty foot channel con
tract There would then be a balance OF
more than 100000 to be appropriated In
the next Sundry Civil bill 70 make az
the total Of $4,000 covered by the con.
tinulng contract, practically giving us the

MODEL. PENAL INSTITUTION OF
THE EAST VISITED BY WORK
HOUSE TRUSTEES.
The trustees Of the New Castle county
workhouse are taking all steps necessary
to fully acquaint themselves with the
penal systems in vogue in the prisons Of
the East. Yesterday they visited the
Maryland Penitentiary and the city
prison at Baltimore. In the former they
found $50 prisoners, and in the latter Ml
prisoners. They are employed at making
shoes. polishing marble, and there is a
complete iron foundry attached, where
fancy work is made.
They have an incentive for being in
dustrious. for when a convict completes
lis daily task within the eight hours al
loted ne can secure payment for ths
work he does in the remaining time. Fol
this overwork some Of the convicts re-
ceive as high as SS5 a month, which is
more than some of them earned before
being incarcerated.
The surplus last year, over and above
the cost Of maintenance OF The peniten
tiary. was $4,000. OF the $50 convicts 8
per cent are employed in the work
houses, the remaining S per cent com
prising the lnfrm and assistants in tn
various departments Of the prison. Th'
cost Of the meals is cents per capit'
daily. . cents less than at the Trenton
penitentiary. and 10 cents less than a
New Castle jail. The prisoners are wei
fed and permitted to read the news
papers.
