results based upon the methods employed
in England for proving" commercial
reason for the granting of charter by
Parliament for works of this kind. This
method, which is self evidently sound,
is described on pages and of the Z.
S. government report on the Manchester
Ship Canal, a copy of which | submit
marked Exhibit No 8. 1t is assumed that
the population which is nearer to gwen
port than to any other port, is Douna
sooner or later to become traffically trl-
butary to it,
The existing traffic on the Cape Fear
river between Wilmington and Fayette-
vile amounts to $4,000 tons, valued at
81 $50 000 The existing railway traf1lc
in and out of Fayetteville is 1925, val
ued at $5,S12,614 The population in the
territory shown on the map between the
lines AA B. and &C, and which is nearer
to Fayetteville and the part of the river
involved than to any other port is some
100000. The population concerned in
the production of the existing river and
railway traffic in and out of Fayetteville
is 81 900. The territory, then, which is
nearer to Fayetteville than to any other
port, contains a population thirty times
as great as the population at present tri-
butary to Fayetteville.
We therefore have this proposition:
Existing river traffic, 10000 tons,
value $l,510, 900. Three-fourths (the d.
vertible portion) of existing railway traf-
fic, in and out of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 95
tons and %xS5, S12, GA S4,221 tons. value
81, 1855, 400; in round numbers 100000 tons,
value $500, 600. Thirty times these fig
ures would give the tonnage and value of
traffic which. other things being equal.
would find cheaper route to and from
the great markets by way of the Cape
Fear river if improved as suggested, that
is, 30x2OO 900 tols, and 30x$5, 100000, g.
600, 000 tons value $165, 0000 900.
If the proposed improvements were a
private undertaking requiring tonnage
charges for the payment of interest on its
cost, 1t will be seen that tax Of / cent
a ton on the estimated traffic would pay
per cent interest on million and a
quarter of dollars. An elaboration of this
calculation and other details will be

Some other considerations in favor of
this project may be briefly noted:
The proposed appropriation would
merely replace the present scheme which
calls for an expenditure of $275, 900, about
half of which has been expended, and
which is worthless, as declared by the
government engineer,
The two millions of people affected by
the proposed improvement. and whose
traffic has been diverted from the river
by railroads and deforestation, develop
ments of civilization, are as much en-
titled to consideration as if they were
herded IN seaport whose harbor had
been made relatively shallower by the
use of deeper drafted ships, another de-
velopment of civilization.
Formerly, vessels were adapted to riv-
ers and harbors. Now, harbors are be-
ing adapted to vessels, and rivers should
be also.
The Manchester ship canal cost $751;
600, 900, or 900 per mile. The canal
for s feet of water from Wilmington to
Fayetteville. 120 miles, is already dug
and an expenditure of $1,000 mile Cor
81, 1850 000) will complete it. Seven mil
lion five hundred thousand people are af-
fected by the English work; 100000 by
the proposed American work-or $40 per
capita for the Englishman, and IS cents
for the American. Our commercial
status in the world should justify at
least this small per capita contribution to
such large body of our people, for we
are not less wealthy than England.

OBITUARY..

GRIFFITH MORGAN, one of the
city's oldest and best known residents,
died Friday night at 1890 at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Thomas The
ophilus, on Seventh avenue, after long
illness. Mr.. Morgan suffered from
miners asthma and heart trouble. Mr..
Morgan's home was on South Terrace
street, but four weeks ago his wife suf-
fered a fracture of her arm and she
and her husband took up their resi-
dence temporarily at Mr.. Theophilus'
home.
The deceased was born in Llansta-
phan, Carmarthanshire, South Wales,
on November T. 1886. In 1853, at Nam
tygo, he was united in marriage to
Miss Mary Jenkins on Easter Sun
day, April /, thirty-siN years ago, Mr.
and Mrs. Morgan landed in New York
city and at once came to Carbondale
where they have resided continuously
since. Mr.. Morgan made one trip back
to his native land That was in 1890,
and the journey did him much good.
Mr.. Morgan was, during his years of
activity, prominent worker in the
Welsh Presbyterian church. He was
also member of Carbondale lodge, No.
230, Knights of Pythias, and of Court
Lily, No. 80, Foresters of America. Not
only among the Welsh people, but
throughout the entire community his
friends were legion.
Mr.. Morgan is survived by five sons,
viz: David, Thomas and John E., OF
this city: Conner, of Ohio, and The
ophilus. of Philadelphia. One daughter,
Mrs. Thomas Theophilus, also mourns
his loss.
The funeral will be held from the
Theophilus home, No. 100 Seventh ave-
nue.. this afternoon. The procession will
leave the house at 2 o'clock. The ser
vices will be held at the Welsh Pres
byterian church, on South Church
street, and burial will be in Maplewood
cemetery

cell in the Carbondale Jail, he told The
Tribune representative that he had a
lamp with him In the Northwest break
er on the night of the fire, and threw
1t away. He also said he was In No. |
breaker the day that it was burned.
He was where the fire started, and
had a hard time In escaping.
This Is the story of the testimony
that was given during the examination
on Saturday.
DR.. l.. Wehlau, who made observa-
tions of Dressed while in the county
Jail, gave as his opinion that the man
was suffering from dementia.
DIR. S. p. Longstreet Jail physician,
who had better opportunities for OBJ
serving Dressed, said that he was GER
tainly demented, and in the physicians
opinion he was not responsible for such
acts that were the consequence of his
hallucnations. The burning of build
ings appeared to be his mania.
Miles McAndrew, n keeper at the JAIL
told of Dressed holding his coat in n
certain position in order to draw the
heat of fire to him.
During the examination Dressed went
on with his rambling talk, threatening
the witnesses and insisting on an ex-
animation of his mind by the physi-
clans present. The members of the
commission were impressed by Dres-
sells own talk that he was demented.
and, together with the testimony and
the opinions of the physicians they
had no difficulty in reaching the ver-
dict that Dressed should be committed
to an asylum.
Dressel's acts We're q heavy loss to
the community. Beside the loss on
No. ! breaker which was estimated at
$4,000, it's destruction threw their
several hundred men and boys out of
employment for three months. The
loss of their wages was severely felt
and was the chief element in the de-
preston that has worried merchants
in this city this winter
The burning of the Northwest was
a total loss. and as yet has not been
replaced, most of the men in that vic
Unity still being out of employment.
