help him he received as rent from his

IMPEDES NAVIGATION.
Hull of Coal Barge That Sank in the
River Ten YearSAgo.

In a heavy southeast gale about ten
years ago a large coal barge, which was
lying at the Alexandria wharves, was blown
upon the piles at the outlet lock of the old
canal, just north of that city. A hole was
knocked in her hull and she sank. The
wreck, which extended 100 feet out into the
channel, was allowed to remain and this
formed an eddy, which has gradually filled
up the river until, when eighteen or twenty
feet of water could then be found, hardly
half that depth now exists, and steamboats,
and moderate draft sailing vessels have to
keep well on the Maryland side of the river,
near Shepherds Landing, to avoid the bar.
Rivermen say that within the past year
the numerous currents from the upper Iiver
have deposited nearly two feet of mud on
the wreck and all that part of the river is
becoming more and more shoal each year,
until it is only a question of time before 1t
will be filled SO that nothing can pass over
it. Shepherds Landing, on the Maryland
side, and the wreck on the Virginia side are
directly opposite each other. and as each ex-
tend into the water for many feet, this
point has become the narrowest part of the
channel and a place where all the ice
gorges occur.
The matter is to be brought by the river
men to the attention of Col. Charles ]. Al
len, chief of engineers in charge of the
river, and an effort will be made to have
the wreck blown up and the obstruction to
navigation. removed.

PURPOSE WHOLLY CHANGED.
Rural Free Delivery Bill Passed by
the House.

The bill to classify the rural free delivery
service and place the carriers under the
contract system. which has been debated in
the House for over a week. was passed
late yesterday, but in a form that COM
netely changed the purpose for which 1t
was framed. Before 1t was passed the bill
was altered radically by its opponents. All
the provisions relating to the placing of
carriers under the contract system were
stricken out, and the salary system was
not only continued. but the maximum sal
ary of carriers was increased from $500 to
5000 per annum. A motion offered by Mr..
Williams of Illinois to recommit the
BILL with instructions to report back an
amendment providing for the dismissal

lar party or for any particular candidate

they were placed by executive order.
Mr.. Fleming (Ga.) praised the President
for his courageous position upon the sub
ject Of the civil service law. and intimated
that the purpose of Mr.. Bromwelfs amend

Chemical Company. Mr.. Knox, as receiver,

sci and institute all the necessary suits in
