Alderman Parkinson called attention
to numerous complaints of citizens in
reference to their inability to pro-
cure gas for Illuminating purposes
and criticising the gas company for
its dereliction, whereupon Alderman
Thompson submitted the following
resolution:
Whereas citizens of Annapolis de-
string to have gas installed in their
houses, and having applied to the
City Commissioner for permit to have
the same done, which permit has been
given and on application to the gas
company to do the work, there seems
to be nothing done, reasonable time
having been given to have some salts
factory result from such applications.
Be it resolved by the Mayor, Coun-
sellor and Aldermen of the City of
Annapolis that the attention of the
President and Board of Managers of
the Annapolis Gas and Electric Light
Company is hereby called to the mat
ter that some action be taken by the
company in the direction of more
prompt and satisfactory service"
The following letter was present.
ed to the Board:
Annapolis, Md, June 28, 1910.
The Honorable Mayor, Counselor and
Aldermen of the City of Annapolis.
Gentlemen:
Sometime in the year 1910 permission
was asked by the city to construct a
line of sewer over and through the
property of Dora Baer, situate on
o Brains alley and Calvert street, for
the purpose of sewering the property
of DR.. George T. Feldmeyer on
O'Brian's alley
In consideration of the right of
way being granted the city proposed
to join all the property in Baer's
Court a nd on Calvert street, belong
long to Dora Baer to the new sewer,
as is evidenced by an unexecuted
agreement on the part of the city and
Dora Baer. The new sewer was con-
structed, however,, but the property
remained connected to the original
private sewer under the new one.
By the construction of the sewer
over and through this property the
city undoubtedly has or eated an ease
ment for which it has paid nothing.
On the other hand by the said con-
struction, the lot of ground having
a frontage of 13 feet on Calvert
street, has been rendered valueless
for building purposes. Inasmuch as
the agreement is still open the owner
of the property will consider any
proposition leading to settlement of
this matter.
Awaiting an early reply, / am
Yours respectfully,
LOUIS BAER, Agent.

RAMS A GUNBOAT
The Bonita Under Water AT.
tackS" The "EHemy" Too
Closely,
MISJUDGED THE DISTANCE
CaStne BesChed With Her Boiler
Room AWash

With her other compartments rapid
ly filling with water, the gunboat
Castine, tender to the third subma-
rine division of the United States
Navy, was beached at North Truro
late yesterday. near Provincetown.
Mass. She had been rammed by the
submarine Bonita in the harbor out
side that port.
As the nose of the Castine slid into
the soft sand at Truro every one of her
crew of eighty, officers and men, was
stationed ready to put off in lifeboats.
Nobody on either the Bonita or Cas-
tine was injured.
The third submarine division under
Lieut.. Donald c. Brigham was en-
gagged in under water practice with
the Castine as a ship of the enemy.
The Castine lay just outside the lower
end of the harbor at Provincetown
under command of Lieut.. Ralph A.
Koch and clustered about her were the
submarines Bonita, Grayling. Mar
whal, Snapper, Strangray and Tarpon.
Not far off the scout cruisers Birming-
ham and Chester lay at anchor.
For some time the little ships at
at war engaged in manoeuvres. Sud
denly there was a warning blast from
the whistle of the Castine and with
full steam ahead she made for the
Truro shore.
Instantly the scout cruisers made
ready to go to her aid, but it was
seen that she was rapidly making the
shore they stayed away and she was
successfully beached.
Just before the shore was reached
every man aboard gathered together
his effects. Had the nose of the gun
boat failed to reach the sand before
she settled into the water Lieutenant
Koch would have been forced TO
leave the bridge of his ship as she
sank.
Captain Fletcher, of the Birmingham
sent this message to Boston last
night:
"Castine struck by Bonita during
attack at Frame 26 and is beach
near North Truro
Boiler and dynamo compartments
between Frames g and 81 are flooded

HOT WAVE is 2,IOO FEET DEEP
AerOnaut GIidden Says II Will Last Till
Today

The present hot wave reaches up
2,100 feet. The discovery was made
Saturday by Charles ]. Glidden, who
made an ascension in the balloon
Massachusetts from Lowell.
AS the balloon aseended the ther-
mometer registered 80 degrees and
there was a northwesterly wind blow
ing. The balloon passed over Lowell
at an altitude of 1900 feet, over
Tewksbury at an altitude of 1,500
feet and over Andover at 2,100. feet,
the highest elevation reached. At
this latt sr elevation the thermometer
dropped 20 degrees to 20 and the
wind changed its direction completely,
blowing from the southeast 1t drove
the balloon toward Lowell again and a
landing was made on the south bank
of the Merrimac River.
Basing his opinion upon prior ex-
periences Mr.. Glidden said that it is
hs opinion the present hot wave will
last one more day. Mr.. Glidden said
that year ago he ascended from
Fitehburg and found the top of hot
wave at an altitude of 2,400 feet.
That hot spell lasted for two days
afterward. On one other occasion last
year Mr.. Glidden found the top of a
hot wave at an altitude of 1000 feet
and then the duration of the hot spell
was one day.
Basing his judgment upon the ex-
periences Mr.. Glidden was prepared to
saw that the nresent hot wave. hav-
ing a depth of 2,100 feet, will last
two more days and will probably pass
away TODAY or tomorrow.

TWO CRUISERS TO BE SOLD
Torpedo Boat WinsIow Also Discarded
By The Navy

Secretary of the Navy Meyer has
signed an order auhorizing the sale of
the third-class cruisers Detroit and
Boston, the gunboat Concord and the
torpedo boat Winslow. From a
military standpoint, the usefulness
of these vessels has passed.
The amount Of money required to
place them in condition was so large
and their value, comparatively, so
small when in service that the board
of inspection and survey for ships rec
commended that it would be poor econ
omy to repair them. They will be ad-
vertised for sale and disposed of, in
accordance with law, to the highest
bidder.

And Bulkins snorted a fresh apprecia-

roguishly at an astonished brokers'
clerk who happened to be passing.

Apparently Cherub had no immedi

about it until one Friday afternoon
