THE DEPOT SITUATION.
l.. II. AUi.I., EnIToR.

The railroad commission, or rather
MIR. Wharton and MIR. Caughman of the
commission, came to Newhc:ry on We'd
nesday to talk over the depot situation.
After looking over the ground and con-
sultation with the president Of The
Board Of Trade and the mayor and
aldermen it was agreed to recommend
that the c., N. & l.. huilI 4 depot on
the lot just opposite the Soutl' n depot
and that covered driveway be LEFT
between the two. The plan Of using
the Southern's track was di$ cussed
but it was thought it would not Ee en-
tirely satisfactory as it would necessi-
tate the c., N. & l.. using switch
coming in and going out and there
would be trackage and all that and the
two roads would scarcely desirea union
ticket agent. The plan agreed upon
will permit each road to have its own
track and depot and for all practical
purposes and convcnicnces give us a
union depot and adds very much to the
appearance of things around the depots.
1t may be that the c., N. Il l.. will
have to raise its track just Il little. That
should be done any way. The commits
sion was impressed with the fact that
we needed some improvement in our
depot facilities.

ABOUT HALF A MILLION
Will be the Increase III Valuation Of Taxa
ble Property for This County The
Figures.

Auditor Cromer has finished making
his abstract of assessment of the per-
sonal property in Newberry County re-
tlrnable for the purposes of taxatioA.
The total valuation, as will be seen from
the addition below, is 81, ,988, 500, an i'll
crease over the year previous, 1902, of
$443, 976. The increase in the valuation
of personal property the year previous,
or 1902 over 1901, was $24,6l5. The
abstract of the assessment of real es-
tate has not yet been completed by
Auditor Cromer. 1t is probable that
the increase in the valuation of real cs-
tate from railroad property and inn
provements, will run the total increase
in valuation of both real and personal
over last year to the half million mark.
The following itemized statement of
the assessment Of the various kind; Of
personal property will no doubt be of

BOSTON SINKING.
Expert Engineer Says it is Going Down
a Foot a Century.

Boston, June 24.-That Boston is
sinking to the level of the ocean is the
assertion of James r. Freeman, q civil
metropolitan water board. In Il special
report regarding the proposed dam
ming of the Charles River at Boston,
Mr.. Freeman says:
"All of the territory in and about
Boston is probably slowly sinking rela :
lively to the level of the sea. Appar-
emily this subsistence is at the rate of
about one-eighth of an inch year, one
inch in eight years. or little more than
foot in each 100 years. This is OBJ
viously question of great importance
in comparing ancient soundings with
modern and in considering the possible
future shoalings of the harbor.
THE datum plane of 1908, compared
with that of 1880, the earliest with an
has sunk 70 of q foot, which is at the
rate of about one foot in 100 years. At
this rate the present grade of Atlantic
avenue near the foot of State street,
will be awash by the spring tides of
each month, about $50 years hence.
Many rocks about the edges of Massa-
chusetts bay are found to be from one
to two feet deeper below extreme low
water now than they were about ninety
years. At many points, about Boston,
tree trunks are found standing in salt
marsh under conditions that prove q
recent subsidence."

Four indictments We're found. all

ment on his Indictment He has previous
ly admitted however, receiving salary

claring that he had done nothing to which
the government could object.

tons III and 172 of the revised statutes
of the United States, which provide for
the punishment of any person receiving

THE TEXTILE WORKERS
Are Carefully Considering What Their
Unions Shall Next Do.

New Bedford, Mass, June pa meet
ing of the executive council of the United
Textile Workers of America was held in
this city. today.
o. communication was received from the
blanket workers of Philadelphia. asking
that their assessment to the Lowell strike
be waived from June l, and the request
was granted.
President Tansey, who was present at a
special convention of silk workers in Pat
erson, N j., June q, reported that re-
consideration was taken on the former ac-
ton declining to affiliate with the United
Textile Workers. President Tansey was
of the opinion that statement of Presi-
dent jefferson ID. Pierce had cleared away
much of the misunderstanding prevailing
among the silk workers in general and
Mr.. Tansey thought there was a fair
chance of the silk workers becoming af-
fliated later. The matter was referred to
the local unions to report next month.
Secretary HILBERT was authorized to no
tify all unions which have not paid II
weeks assessments on account of the
Lowell strike, that If such assessments
are not paid by Sept. / the charter of
such unions will be revoked and in event
of any grievance arising among the
unions while the debt is outstanding, no
support will be given while the obliga-
tons are unpaid.
The sum of 5000 was donated to the
Philadelphia strikers.

AN ARREST MADE
But Nothing Shown as to the Death o.
the Negro waite.

Wilmington. Del, June 24.-Arthur
croweu. who claims his home Is In
Hartford City, Ind, and who was ar
vested last night, on the charge or
complicity in the burning to death OF
George White, the negro assaiiant anu
murderer Of Helen Bishop, was released
on $4,000 bail, tonight. He will be given
a further hearing, tomorrow.
Tonight, about 1000 persons gathered
in front of City hall, where Corweli
WAS confined and made q demonstra-
ton. The police authorities took every
precaution to prevent an attempt at
rescuing the prisoner.
The coroner's inquest, tonight, did
not implicate Corwell, so the authori-
ties released him on $4,000 bail. This
was furnished by Thomas McHugh Of
this city, a wholesale liquor dealer.
When the inquest began, the remains
of white could not be found, and after a
long search they were found wrapped IN
paper on an ice chest. White weighed
about 200 pounds but only fve POUNDS on
flesh and bone were left of him after the
lynchers had concluded their work.
What the next step of the authorities
will be Is not known. The coroners IN
quest having failed to reveal the identity
of the leaders in the lynching, it is
thought that the authorities were unable
to proceed.
Corwell declares he is innocent and says
he can prove that he was not at the
lynching.
The belief is growing here that no one
will ever be punished for the work OF the
mob Certain prominent citizens although
they deplore the occurrence, stand ready
to raise a fund for the defence of anyone
who should be prosecuted for the offence:
Peter Smith, the boy. who was shot
while the mob was in the workhouse on
Monday night, died. this afternoon, as a
result of his injuries. The boy was an
Italian.
