PASSING OF THE KENT.
Oldest Steamboat on Potomac 70 Be
Broken Up for Junk.

The old steamer Kent, belonging TO the
Ran dali line. which has been lying at Alex
andria out of service for several months
past. was yesterda " sold to an Alexandria
junk dealer and is to be- broken up for the
metal that Is in her hull. This is the end of

steamer in existence today. For forty
years she ran on routes on the Chesapeake
nay out of Baltimore. and had the reputa-
tion of being one of the best sea boats in
service on the bay. When larger and finer
steamers would seek harbor from the
heavy storms that sweep over the bay, the
sturdy Kent with her nose to the gale
would piow her way along. and when she
was forced TO seek shelter IL was certain
that no other steamer was moving on the
bay
About eight years ago she was brought
here TO run excursions, but not making 4
success OF that business she passed into
other hands. and was finally bought by the
managers of the Randall line. She was
given a thorough overhaulng and was used
on freight routes. on the river. her last serv-
ice being the route between this city
and Glymont. She finally became unit
for service in consequence of a weak boiler,
and her owners, not wishing to eXpend the
large sum that would be required to put
her in order for service. have sold her to
be broken up. and the last act IN her his
tory Is now about to commence. In a few
days the old Kent will be a thing of the
past She will leave behind many pleasant
memories of happy days spent aboard her

may be numbered among the victims of

Mate Charley Marmaduke OF the army

sci, lying berthed at the Washington bar
racks wharf, and was turned over to Lieu
tenant Sutton of the harbor precinct. 1t

mer. avis. umbrella parts and tools used
in repairing umbrellas. Attached to the
Kit was an umbrella with a metal trimmed
handle, but there was nothing about the
boz to give any clew as to its owners
identity. The outfit has been turned over
to the police property clerk and awaits a
claimant, if he ever comes.
