SEVENTH STREET BRIDGE

Contractor Patrick Fahey has begun
the construction of approaches for Seventh
street bridge across the Brandywine and
expects that the structure will be open
for public travel in month. At present
it is impossible to use the draw, because
there are no approaches to it, and it
stands practically inaccessible in mid
stream.
While no action has been taken in the
Levy Court authorizing Mr. Fahey to go
ahead with the approaches, which are
provided for in the contract for bridge
forty feet wide, and originally signed by
Mr.. Faley, he says he was instructed last
week to build the approaches by the
bridge committee of the present Levy
Court.
Mr.. Falley says that no approaches are
provided for in the plans under which he
built the twenty four foot bridge, by au-
thority of the bridge committee of the old
Levy Court, but Commissioners Chandler,
Willitts and Elliott in the court expressed
themselves of the opinion that the ap-
proaches should be built However, Mr..
Fahe, says he was instructed by the
present bridge committee-composed of
Messrs. Lynn, Mealey and Megginson-
to go ahead with the approaches. The
contractor says lie expects the court to
pay him for the additional work ON the
but does not know just what
action will he taken in compensating
him.

SOLDIER PUNISHED

DELAWARE CRY, Oct. 22.-The corpora
who jumped the small pox quarantine al
Fort DUPONT, is wiser and sadder young
man. Major Hubbel informed Mayor
Collins to arrest all soldiers found in
Delaware City and on the night in ques'
tion a corporal succeeded in getting be.
yond the lines. He was promptly re-
ported and upon his return to the Fort
was put in the guard house.
He was courtmartialed on Friday, fined
a years pay and stripped of his corporals
stripes. This disgrace for disobeying or
ders came heavy on the young corporal,
but the commanding officer stated his
determination to punish all violators of
the quarantine orders.
The other men belonging to the regi-
ment, seeing that Major Hubbel meant
business, did not attempt to leave the
station.
So far as Delaware City is concerned, it
is fortunate thing to have the soldiers
off the streets for couple of weeks. Their
conduct in general, while in town, is not
of the gentlemanly order expected from
men in the service of Uncle Sam.-Ddily

A SCREW LOOSE IN DELAWARE

ii TIE whipping-post had not done
some good in Delaware, the inference is
the people would have demanded that il
be abolished. Cases of larceny and wife
beating-between which, however, there
is no special --have been treated
by the lash oftener than others; but these
crimes have not been entirely suppressed.
The sheriffs may be too soft-hearted or
too weak physically to apply the lash in
the measure to properly make the pun
ishment fit the crime, or the offenders
may be unusually touch the delaware.
At any rate, there are people up there
willing to take risks. The other night
the henroost of the warden at the Jail at
Dover was robbed, and the warden was
compelled to turn out of bed to save his
property 1t takes nerve to commit rob-
berry i'll jailyard. The jails in Delaware
may be as unterrifying as some in Mary
land, where occasionally a delivery is
effected without much trouble.
The next legislature in Delaware should
add few sections to the whipping-post
law or get firmer sheriffs 1t is possible,
however, that the chickens in the state
may be of quality that makes the temp
tation to run foul of the law particularly
strong. At any rate, there is something
wrong in Delaware. Baltimore Americdn.

GEORGE M. RUssUM DEAD

Ex-Judge George NJ. Russum, the
Republican nominee for the State Senate
in Caroline county, Nd, died very sud-
denly Monday night of heart trouble,
aged 81 years. He was attacked about
Z o'clock and expired in chair in the
drug store of Messrs. George 4 Redden
in Denton. For nearly all his life he en-
ioyed unusual good health. He was first
seized with heart trouble on Saturday,
October 9Th, and for an hour or SO was in
a very critical condition. Symptoms of
the same trouble reappeared several times
since, but he was confined to the house
very little and transacted considerable
business, taking very active part in
court cases and in the political campaign.

DISASTROUS FIRE

South Salisbury, Nd, was visited by a
costly fire early Sunday morning, which
caused loss of nearly $50, 900 and endan-
gered. property to the value of nearly a
quarter of million dollars.
The blaze started in W. B. Miller's
klndling wood mill and spread to his
three large storage houses, which were
completely destroyed. Besides these
properties, two dwellings owned by
Joshua Morris and Judge Holland, were
burned.
Mr.. Miller's loss on kindling wood is
S14, 900; loss on mill, So. 900; loss ON ware
houses, $4,000. The insurance amounts
to $14, $50.
The loss on the two houses is about
$1,000; insured for 81, 800.
Seeing that the local fire department
was unable to cope with the flames, a
telegram was sent to Mayor George M,
Fisher, of Wilmington, asking assistance.
That official at once notified John P.
Welsh, chief of the Fire Department,
who detailed the fire engines of the
Washington and Water Witch com panies
and the hose carriage of the Reliance
company and the hose carriage of the
Washington company TO Salisbury.
Chief Welsh accompanied the appa-
ratus. A special train composed of an
engine, two fiat cars and a passenger
coach were at once made ready and the
apparatus loaded upon the cars. Sails
bury was reached in two and one-half
hours, the distance being about 1O4 miles.
When the fireman arrived in Salisbury it
was thought that the flames were under
control, but they broke out afresh in a
short time and the engines were unloaded
and placed in service. At the request of
the residents of Salisbury, the fremen
remained all night in case of another
outbreak
This is the fourth time that Whining
on has sent assistance to Salisbury in
ime of fire. The first blaze occurred on
October 18th, 1886 and the entire town
vas nearly wiped out.

GOLD MINING IN EASTERN MARYLAND

After devoting nearly a life time in Sc.
cretly guarding gold mine, Joseph Mey-
ers, a builder, of Philadelphia, has fin
ally accumulated sufficient capital to start
work on practical basis. 1t was his in.
tentlon to conduct the prospecting Sc.
cfetiy' but prying eyes and wagging tom
CUES lnterterred with his plans, and now
everyone within twenty miles of the
claim have knowledge of his poceedings.
Ihe mining camp is situated in a hollow
at Swan Creek village, about eighteen
miles from Elkton, Cecil county. The
population OF Swan Creek is considerably
less than forty persons, and when thew
are not engaged in the fields they spend
TIER time in the vicinity of the camp.
gazing IN open-mouthed wonder at the
Dusy prospectors. About forty years ago
goid ore was discovered in this vicinity.
out owing to the outbreak of the War of
the Rebellion no one found time to work
the NINE. 1t was decidedly risky piece
OF business at that time, and no one carad
to be found in the neighborhood. Since
that time Meyers has had knowledge of
the existence of the mine, but until
within year ago was not possessed of
suilclent means to start work upon if.
During the time they have been working
the claim the men have made four shafts.
Three have been abandoned, as it was
found that they were yielding compare
tlNely little ore. The fourth, which is
situated outside the living quarters is
more promising in character, and Meyers
and his companions are exceeding hope
tul OF striking a rich vein. The excaya-
ton, which is now forty-feet in depth.
has already yielded considerable
amount of quartz literally besprinkled
with the yellow metal. The last assay of
the quartz, which was made in PhiladeI-
phla, revealed that shaft No. was Weld
ing a percentage of from 50 to Sc to the
ton. This is decidedly encouraging to
the prospectors as they have been work
ing the shaft only short time. 1t is
their intention to dig the excavation to a
distance of at least one hundred feet.
The depth now reached has disclosed
many hard rocks and dynamite is being
used to blast them. Meyers has been
tolllng steadily for more than fortnight
and is confident that he has discovered a
new Ell Dorado.

BALKs THE TROLLEY LINE

The old Cooper homestead at Cooper's
Corner, few feet front of which the
Delaware General Electric Company de-
sires to complete its trolley line down
from Dover to Camden, is still closed to
the railway company. 1t is said that
final work on the electric railway is about
to begin and two prominent citizens OF
Kent county rode out to the Cooper
house with $500 in cash which they Of
fered Mrs. Cooper as she stood in the
doorway OF her home, but she spurned
the offer without wasting any words.
1t is claimed that this amount is far in
excess of the damage the company can
possibly do this property, but Mrs. Cooper
would not make cash settlement. The
railways next step will probably be pro-
ceedings to condemn the land.

not praise too highly such remedy.
