STATE HOSPITAL CHANGE.

DR.. Florence II. Watson Elected Assistant
Superintendent to Succeed DR.. John II.
Hammond. Resigned.
A special meeting OF THE trustees OF
the State Hospital for the Insane was
held at the institution at Farnhurst
yesterday, at which DIR. Florence
Hall Watson was elected assistant super
intendent for year, to suct eed DIR.
John H. Hammond resigned. Or.
Watson was formerly connected with
the insane hospital at Norristown, Pa,
but resigned some time ago on account
OF failing health, and went to Europe,
but has recovered her health and re-
turned to this country. President Black,
Trustee Capelle and Superintendent

there are no applications for the posi-
tion. Great care will be taken in max.
ing the selection. DR.. Watson will

Pekin, China. March 81. The Chinese

ment last night when the tine expired.
The ministers of the Powers do not
consider that the murder Of the Rev. j.
Stcnehouse of the London MIssion
Society, who was killed by Chinese
brigands IA miles east of Tieutsin, re-
Gently, affects the Chinese situation
politically. They are perfectly awaie
that the country around Shinan is i'm
tested with robbers who are, naturally,
hostile to foreigners aud would taks
such an Opportunity as in the present
case to kill one.
Mr.. Rockhill, the special commits
sioner of the United States, says he
does not consider 1t safe for people to
travel alone In the country districts,
and guards cannot be supplied to the
missionaries Consequently, those going
into the country take considerable risk.
The missionaries attribute the murder
to the leniency OF the Powers towards
China, which ma9es them seem to be
afraid.
The ministers have many different
views on the indemnity question, which
may result in considerable; delay IN the
negotiations on that subject.

Poultney, VT, March 81 Workmen
removing a cellar wall under a dilapi-
dated building, Just north Of the
bridge that crosses Fair Haven river,
quarter of mile above Carver's
Falls, have apparently unearthed evil
dence which solved the mystery of
murder which occurred 20 years ago.
The discovery was mace by accident,
the laborers having fallen into pit
while trying to lift some heavy stones.
The pit was about eight feet deep,
with solid stone wall about 20 incL es
thick surrounding 1t. In the center
Of the pit was set an iron post attached
to which was heavy iron chain aud
an old fashioned. pair OF handcuiis.
Nearby was heap of human bones.
Inquiry disclosed the fact that in 1881
Perry Borden, a young Freedman,
brought his wife to poultney to live in
the houss which the worKmen are tear
ing down. She WAS witty and yivRcious,
ard attracted considerable attention.
in short time Borden became jealous
of her and forbade her visiting a GER
tain tavern nearby. This wife would
not submit to be dictated 70. One
night in November, 1881, she was at
the place when, at about 10 O'Clock,
Borden called for her, She left the
place with him. She was never seen
a ter That.
Mr.. Borden said his wife had de-
serted him, and be fled to Canada
I fter year Borden went away, and
was mot heard Of again until 1882,
" ian he suddenly reappeared in town.
ii said he had heen at sea for the 80
yJ RI he had been Amy. His mind
eemed shattered. lie went to the old
mouse and remained two years, neigh
bors supplying him with provisions
lie finally became sick and the town
took charge OF him. He died in 1887
and was buried in Potter's fed.
The discoveries made by the work
men have led every Que in this vicinity
to believe that Borden chained bis wife
in the Underground cellar and left her
to die horrible death.

HERVEY WALKER COMPLAINS.
Thinks His Farm in Mill Creek Hundred
Has Been Assessed Too High. a.

Has Been Assessed Too High.
Hervey Walker, member of the Board
of Trustees of the Poor, and prominent
farmer Uf Mill Greek hundred, appeared
before the Levy Court Tuesday afternoon
and resented to tnat body the subject of
understood, he said, that the assessment
had been increased from "a, 800 to $500,
and his application was that it be left
at the old figure of $4,000
In reply to question, Mr.. Walker said
that he paid 5000 for the property, but
that was ID years ago and property had de-
preciated in value In that period.
President John Lynn of the court said the
assessors had been directed to assess prop
erty rs near its actual valuation as possible.
He added that he had reviewed the books of
Assessor Graves and when considering MI.
Walkers property MI. Graves hud ex-
pressed the opinion that it should be. higher
and he tMr Lynn) had told him to raise
it, which he did.
Mr.. Walker told the court that the ASSESS
ment on his farm Is greater than that OF his
adjoining neighbors. One of the farms
near him had been sold and had brought
not quite $50 an acre. The buildings on
the adjoiuing places were In better condi-
ton than on bis place. He thought $50 an
acre for improved and $50 for uniinproyed
land would be fair assessment.
On motion of Commissioner Armstrong,
the matter was referred to a special com
mittee, MIR. Lynn being named as one.
The president named Messrs. Megginson
and Elliott as his associates.
MIR. Walker IS the Democrat who was Mr..
Lynne rival at the last election for Levy
Court Commissioner and cut his majority
down considerably. MIR. Walker also OPP
posed the building of new bridge at Mar
shalton to such 40 extent that he had a pro.
test sent to the Levy Court at the time the
matter was up. Mr., Lynn, who favored
the bridge, had his way and It has been
built.
The Lew Court made few transfers
Tuesday afternoon. Two items assessed 10

O. Railroad Co.. apd the other to the
Brandywine Springs Railwey Co.

the late Constitution for the purpose
OF making confirmation by the Senate
of such future appointments necessary.
We think it altogether improbable, IL
not unreasonable, TO conclude that the
members of the late Constitutional
Convention, having, as they must have
had, the existence, continuance and i'm
portance OF the office Of said municipal
judge in con eInplatinp, would not and
did not throw around the future APP
pointments to said office Of municipal
judge the same check placed upon other
appointments by the governor 10 minor
and less important officers. The lam
guage of said section 0, article 3, is too
broad and comprehensive in its mean
ing and legal import for any such strict
and limited construction which we have
been in very able and Interesting
manner to urge to place upon it. We
think 1t both applicable aud adequate
for the purpose for which 1t has been
envoked by the defendant in this case.
The fact that there is q special pro-
vision In relation to the appointment
of Justices of the peace and the judges
OF such courts as the Gnneial Assembly
may establish pursuant to the pro.
visions OF section or section 30 Of said
article 3, the last section of which in
the Forbes cnse was given a prospective
application and therefore not applicable
to this case, We may reasonably con-
clude, was provided because confirma.
tion by the Senate Of officers appointed
by the governor under said section 0
article 3, shall be required only when
the salary, fees and emoluments OF
office shall exceed the sum Of $500 an
nuaIly, and it is Is well known fact that
the fees, 60, of many of the justices of
the poace, aud it might wall be said,
inferior courts do and would not exceed
tina said sum of $500, and because OF
this fact and the Importance of such
Offices, said special provision was in
corporattd.
The demurrer is therefore overruled

A TROUBLESOME HUMP.

Proposed Grading of the Southern End of
. Maryland Avenue Gives Some of the
Authorities Some Concern.
The Street and Sewer Directors are en-
deayoring to find their way clear to grade
Maryland avenue between Sixth and Ninth
avenues, hut there is a hump between
Seventh and Eighth avenues which Is giving
them much concern, its proportions are SO
great. The established grade at Seventh
avenue is six feet below the bed of Mary
land avenue at that point at present, and II
can be seen that there will be great deal
of cutting. 1t Is likely, however, that some
thing In that direction will be done In the
near future.
The Wilmington Olty Railway Co. pro-
poses to extend its Maryland avenue line
In southerly direction to the city line,
and as the company expects. TO build at
grade, IL will be necessary to do some grad
ing before the track can be laid. The COM
pany has made proposition to the Street
and Sewer Department to pay for its share
of the grading when the work is done, and
this may enable tile department to under
take the work within the next few days. The
directors of the department visited the
scene last Monday and are thoroughly fami-
liar with the conditions.
