LEFT VESSEL JUST IN TIME.

New York, March 15.-The steamer
Antilia which arrived today from
Nassau, New Providence, bahama
Islands, brought six shipwreclled sea
:nan who composed the crew of the
American schooner John X. Souther
of Thomaston, Me-, which sailed from
New York, February 18th for Gal
weston with cargo of cotton ties and
foundered near Gingerbread Shoal,
Bahamas, March 18th.
Tine story of the men was that from
the day the vessel left port she en-
countered heavy gales from the south
east and southwest, with heavy seas,
which caused her to labor and strain,
Tho schooner began to leak and the
steam donkey pump was put to work
to keep her free. When the fuel was
consumed spare spars we're cut up to
keep the pump going. All efforts, how
ever failed to keep the leak under
control and the vessel became water
logged.
Capt. Poole then decided it was time
to abandon the schooner and II boat
was made ready. The crew We're no
sooner aboard the hoRt than the
schooner went down, leaving them
adrift ON the ocean so miles from the
nearest land. They succeeded in reach
ing one Of the bahama Islands with
the boat 'and after remaining there
some time were conveyed to Nassau on
q sponge fishing vessel
The John Il. Souther was built ut
Thomaston, Me, in 1883, and regis
tered ST. tons.

Another fight between City Council
and the Water Department appears to
In brewing, the initiative having been
taken by Council Tuesday. The
money consideration in the present case
is S5 Il year, the amount of the annual
rental which the Street and Sewer
Department pays the Water Depart
ment for the privilege of occupying the
rooms on the south side OF the first
floor Of the building at the southwest
corner of sixth and King streets Tho
real object, 1t is understood, is to get
possession of the rooms with view to
giving the city tux collectors quarters
there.
At the meeting of the Strickland
Sewer Department Tuesday morning a
letter was received from the finance
committee of Council asking for in
formation AS to the arrangements
whereby the Street and Sewer Depart
lnent occupies tho rooms. The letter
contained the following: ''it has come
to the knowledge of the COMMITTEES that
another branch of the municipality has
assumed the right and authority to
grant your department the use and
privilege of the above named quarters,
placing rental value thereon, and
collecting same from property over
which they have no jurisdiction. "
Acting Secretary Christy was in
structed to give the required Informs
ton as to the arrangements between
the Water and Street and Sewer De-
partment, which is to the effect that
the Street aud Sewer Department rents

SUIT AGAINST ADDIUKS.

John a. Lingo sues Gasman for abuut
$500 for Alleged Hreach OF Contract.
j. Edward Addicks was Monday
sued in tho Superior Court by John
A, Lingo, proprietor of the Atlantic
Hotel, ut Rehoboth Beach, to recover
about $500 for alleged breach Of con
tract. Last September there was
planned u conference of Union Repub-
Leans ut Rehoboth, and tho late
Charles III. kittinger, who was em-
ployed ON u newspaper hero, went to
Rehoboth, it is said, and engaged from
Mr.. Lingo the use of the hotel order
ing that provision he made for the ex-
pected visitors.
The proposed conference was adver-
tised, but lust before it was to take
place President Mckinley was shot,
and it was never held. The result was
that MIR. Lingo was left without guests
and with u quantity of rerishable pro
visions. He wrote to Mr.. Addicks,
asking for settlement, but received
no reply, and then placed the bill in
tho hands of Attorney John NJ. Richard
son of Georgetown, who wrotesto Ad.
dicks, who replied that kittinger had
mover had any authority to lease the
hotel for Addick5 and was never EN-
ployed by Addicks rs agent in such a
matter.
Mr.. Lingo claims that because of the
agreement with Mr.. kittinger he re-
fused the offers of u number of guests
who desired to remain during Septem
hcr. iIc also had several who were
stopping at the hotel leave then.
The suit was entered Monday by l..
Irving Handy who has become asso.
ciated with Mr.. Richardson in the
case, Mr.. Lingo is Union Republi
can and a son of the late State Auditor

COUNCIL SHORT ON MONEY
Present Indications Point TO a
Deficit Of $50, 600 or a
Shutdown.
MAY BORROW FROM THE BANKS
There Arc Eaok Taxes Due Said
to Amount to $ $4,000, and
Extra Efforts Will be
Made to Collect Them.

1t looks very much as il City Council will
lie compelled to stop business or eisp borrow
money to tide over it's expenses for the re-
mainlur of the fiscal year, which cnus june
auh next, and the finance committee will
hold a meeting this evening to consider the

with Tax Collectors Suyera und Lewis 10 as
certain what their receipts may ernount to
before the end OF the year, after which
Other revenues during that period will be
estimated, and as the regular expenses are
known, i'll day or two the committee will
he able 10 decide what amount of money
will be needed.
II has been intimatcd by members of City
Council that something like Sl5O,tOJ is due
in the matter Of back taxes, while tha col
lecturs say the back taxes do not reach that
figure. The books are now being added UP
hy City Auditor Boughman, and after he
has co,nplated his work 1t will be definitely
known what amount is due Collector Sayers
has not settled since 1Ss5 and Mr.. Lewis
who went into Office in 1878, has made no
BRttlcmunt at all. II is expected TINT after
the auditor completes his work 4 settlement
will be effected with the collectors. The
books of Mir. SayeIs have been counted W
for lSl6-1-S, and those OF Mr.. Lewis for
1873, and the auditor is now working on
Rlr. Lewis books for ISM. Should the col
lectors settle in the next few weeks, upon
the result of their efforts will depend largely
what action Council will take in the matter
oil borrowing money.
With ordinary collections, Judging from
the past, it Is estimated that il will lie
