foot channel He found reports to the
effect that work at the Dan Baker

22.6 feet of water. dragged the full dis
tance of Cherry Island flats, and it
found that new shoals are forming
there.
This obstruction TO navigation at the

Cosby states, will receive attention next
spring The delay at this point is ow-
ing to the necessity of building a bulk
head to prevent the dredgings from be
ing washed back into the channel This
means that the Department of Engi-

prove of new specifications, and this
can only be taken up after the pres

MORTGAGRR LOSES BY SALE
Question Opened by the Sale d Property
to Sathiy Tax Claim

It has been disclosed that a sale OF
property to satisfy a claim for taxes
cuts off the property mortgages. One
of the city lawyers explains that the
only way the mortgagee can protect
himself is to get the original owner
of the property to redeem 10 within two
years by paying an advance OF twenty
per cent. upon the sale price TO the
person who bought the property at the
sale. Then the mOrtgagee can take
oreclosuure proceedings and buy in
the property
-Four of the Polk properties, in the
Ninth ward, that were sold last Sat-
urday we're mortgaged for more than
81 900 each. Three of the mortgages
were held by David Lindsay, and unless
the properties are redeemed and he en-
ters foreclosure proceedings, he will
lose the amount of the mortgages held
by him.
Many persons have refrained from
buying the properties at the tax sales
because of debt as 10 whether a
clear title can be obtained for them.
To be sure the previous owner has an
opportunity to buy his property back
within two years, but after that time
whether the title would be clear has
been disputed.
The deed must contain n complete
record of the proceedings from the
time the assessment Is laid against the
property until the time OF the sale.
This must be an exacting document,
and Walter II. Hayes and Sylvester d.
have been engaged in draw
ing the form for a deed that they think
will be legal and in proper form in
transferring properties sold to SATISFY

WILMINGTON in GREAT DANGER
FROM CHESTER SMALLPOX CASES
Members Of The Local Board OF Health Visit the Latter
Town Do Not Like System in Vogue There.
Quarantine May Be Established

Despite the fact that the Chester au-
thorities denied that smallpox is
being brought here from that city, the
authorities here have absolute evidence
that such is the case. Last night
Emma Archie. colored. Of Chester, was
found on the coast" suffering with
tfle disease. She was doing all she
could to spread the disease among the
colored people who live in That section
OF the city.
She came to this city during the day,
but did not appear on the coast until
s o'clock in the evening. IL soon be-
came noised about that she had small
poX, and the colored population fed
before her. She was given the free
dom of the street, everyone fearing TO
get near her.
Patrolmen Burchinal and Shields
were notified and rounded up the
Archie woman at Second and King
streets. They marched her to the mid
die of the street, where she was forced
to remain until DR. Thomas ID. Cook
arrived and made an examination. He
found she had the smallpox and sent
her TO the Emergency Hospital in a
cab,

tablishlng a quarantine will be dis
cussed at a meeting OF the Board OF
Health on Tuesday, when a report OF
tine visit will be made. Il will not be
complimentary to Chester.
They found that most of the dis
ease is confined to the Third ward,
which is in the heart of the city.
There are about forty cases among
colored people and two or three cases
among white people
There are whole rows of houses
where the disease exists in every
house. The Wilmington health officers
were surprised at what the Chester
authorities call a quarantine.
When a case of smallpox is discov-
cred a red nag is hung out over the
door and q man employed for the pur-
pose goes the rounds twice a week and
takes orders for provisions. He has
thirty-eight houses to look after, and
as a result the inmates go in and out
at will. Although the Wilmington men
we're on a serious mission they had
to laugh at the watchman He was
armed with a stout stick. black
Jack revolver and n long knife.
Yesterday patients with their faces
covered with scabs were seen in the
yards and sitting In the windows Of
houses Inmates of the houses went in
and out at will, Frequently the ne
groes from the smallpox districts go
out and invade the other part of the
city.
Tne Chester Health Board said they
would do an possible TO keep the
negro excursion from coming here on
Thursday. They do not want a quar-
antine established against Chester,
! however.
