It IS ONLY A DREAM CITY.
WHERE BOATS WERE TO
BE BUILT
Which Would Gross The Ocean In
Three Days-The Pipe
Went Out.

Discoveries which bring to mind
happenings of many years ago were
made during the past week by Mr.. Ed
ward Hall, who, about a year ago,
purchased from his father, Henry L.
Hall, the farm which is known as
Arrow City. Seventeen years ago Mr.
Hall purchased the farm, which lies
ON the Severn river, opposite Round
Bay. He came here from Youngs-
town, o., and intended to establish on
the farm, which is of over 500 acres,
a city to be known as Arrow City. -
A brick yard and brick making
plant were established, but did not
prove successful. What Mr.. Edward
Hall found last week were the ways
ON which il had been intended to
build ocean liners nearly twenty
years ago Robert +. Fryer had Sc
cured considerable financial backing
from eastern parties and claimed that
he could build ships which would
cross the ocean in three days So
plausible was his story and so we'll
worked out his plans that it looked as
though the feat would be an easy one
The boats were to be extremely mar
row and quite long and fitted with
special machinery, which, is the in
vertion of Mr.. Fryer. The driving
shaft was to be placed directly on the
keel and the latter was to be still fur
ther weighted with lead to overcome
the narrowness of the boats.
Before actual work was commenced
his hackers renigged and he was forced
to give up the project for the time be.
ing Later he built the Howard Cas-
saId at the Locust Point yards. She
got down the bay considerable dis
tance, but had to be towed back.
Efforts were made to have her placed
in commission as a cruiser during
the Spanish American war, but with
out success. While the talk of estab-
fishing large ship yard was at its
height, excursions were run to the
Severn river city that was not to be
and many lots were sold, all sales,
however, being contingent upon the
ship-yard becoming an assured thing.
Several houses were built ON the place,
but they have long disappeared before
the march of time. Mr.. Hall will en-
gage in raising poultry of all sorts on
the land that was thought destined at
some day to support multitude.

NAVAL NEWS ITEMS.
Items of Interest In This Branch
of The Government
Service.

One of the principal recommended
tions of Rear Admiral Henry N. Man
new, chief of the Bureau of Equip
ment, in his annual report approved
by Secretary Morton yesterday is that
Congress be asked for an appropriation
of $3.50, 600 for the further equipment
of the navy with wireless teleeraphy.
Secretary Morton has issued a cir
cular designed to secure a stricter OBJ
servance of the regulations regarding
the hire of carriages by officers of the
Navy Department than has heretofore
obtained. He says that the depart
ment is disinclined to approve public
bills covering expenditures for carriage
hire "for official purposes" or "for
official visits unless the specific ma
ture of the business requiring the hire
of carriage and the necessity there.
for is shown ON the face of the public
bill for the same
Brig. Gen. Elliott, commandant of
the Marine Corps, in his annual re-
port recommends an increase of 2, 4S0
enlisted men in the corps, to meet the
demands of the service ahoat and
ashore. The present force of 278 Off
GERS and 1859 enlisted men is entirely
inadequate, he says, to protect Govern
ment property at navy yards and sta
tions and to serve on board ship. In
view of the approaching completion
of several large vessels, the size of the
corps must be increased, he contends,
if the service is not to be seriously
crippled. General Elliott pays a high
compliment to the efficiency of the
Marine Band.

THE STATE OYSTER NAVY.
LARGE FLEET OF VESSELS
NOW IN PORT.
The MuSSels Do Not Affect The
Bivalves - Large Quanti
ties Shipped.

One of the largest fleets of oyster
boats in the history of Rthe Annapolis
oyster trade came into port this morn
ing. Each and every one of the
bugeyes and small schooners were
we'll filled and brought good prices.
The late catches are of particularly
large and fat oysters and are adding
to the standard of the Annapolis oys
ters.
The packers are shipping large quan.
titles TO Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York, and each shipment brings
a still larger order than the preceding
one. It is not often that large ship
ments are made TO Baltimore, but
that is what is being done at tile pres
ent time. In many cases direct ship
ments are made to customers of BAlti-
more packers on orders from the latter.
While the glut of mussels on the oys-
ters still hangs ON. no appreciable
difference has been found in the cundi-
tion or quantity of the succulent oys-
ter. The present glut of musSels is
simply what had been expected. as il
occurs at stated periods.
1t was feared that the waterboys, OF
water blisters which affect the oys-
berS at STauudllN ISbSbhSulDS pehluus,
would attack them this year. Thus
far, however, there has been no evil
dence of such an attack and there is
every reason to believe that the period
of its visitation has safely passed.
Down the bay oystermen report that
the young culls are larger and more
thrifty than for some time and that
the catch next season will be some
thing unprecedented if no unexpected
attack takes place.

it was in all exhausted state. His hiI
was cruelty lacerated by the whiI

TO TEST PANAMA CANAL LAW.


Washington, d. c., Oct. 25.-The
case of Warren b. Wilson. of Hinsdale,
Ill, against Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw, which was called for hearing
today in the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia, has attracted
keen attention from the fact that 1t
involves the constitutionality of the
Spooner act for the construction of
the Panama canal, and, in fact, the
entire proceedings of the United
States in the purchase of the canal
and the work upon its construction.
The suit is for the purpose OF prevent
ing Secretary Shaw from paying out
any money for the construction OF the
canal or of issuing bonds for money
to continue the construction. 1t is
asserted in the petition that the Spoon
er act is unconstitutional and invalid,
both in Panama and the United
States; that even if it were valid
and legal enactment, its terms and
conditions have not been complied
with and do not purport to authorize
the payments that are now being
made; that the payments being made
are unauthorized and unwarranted,
violating the provisions of the consti-
tuition, which state that no money
shall be drawn from the treasury ex-
cept upon appropriations made by law.
Style of 1890.
Sin close touch with the return to
the STYLES of the period of 1880 now
being affected by ladies of society the
Farmers National Bank has entered
the field. When the additions to the
bank were made several years ago a
stone slab. which marked the thresh-
old of an old vault was removed from
its masonry and placed in the rear OF
the bank. Investigation revealed the
fact that the slab had been placed IN
position in 1880 and had done service
for wears. There it lay for years IN
til its removal to the rear of the bank
bv Mr.. William 4. Feldmeyer, the
contractor.
Tuesday it was decided to make use
of the slab in aiding very pleasing
display. An old iron safe. which was
nlaced in use when the bank was es-
tablished in 1906, has been lying in
the basement of the building for years.
This will be used as part of the eXhi-
hilton which carries the mind back t.
the beginning of the nineteenth CEN
turv. The slab is being placed in po-
sition in front of the office of Mr.. j.
Writ Randall, president of the bank.
On this will be placed the old and
time-marked safe. The work is being
done by Mr.. Feldmeyer.

SAW SEWERS HAND.
John Miller of Greenbush Loses His
Left Forearm While Working
in Portable Saw rlilI.
Platform Gives Way, Throwing Him
Against the Saw and rliller's
Hand Was Taken Off.

Thursday afternoon just before sup
per time joni Miller who was at work
in John Scott's portable saw mill in
Greenbush, met with an accident that
cost him his left forearm. While
working in the mill the platform gave
way precipitating Miller against the
saw. The man took in his perilous
situation at once and threw out his
left arm to save himself, and by so
doing he probably saved his life as
had he not thrown out his arm his body
would probably have fallen against
the saw and he would have been killed.
The saw severed his hand and badly
larcerated the arm so that it had to
be amputated three inches below the
elbow joint. Miller was brought to
the Northwestern. hospital at once and
DR.. Cooney attended to the mans in
juries. Miller is getting along all
right though will be laid up for some
little time. He is a single man about
fifty years of age and has no home or
relatives in this part of the country.
For some time he worked for Henry
Moore in Greenbush.
