After having lain on the bottom of the
river since the night of March >, when
the steamers Newport News and North
cumberland were in collision in the lower
end of the harbor, a yswlboat and dav-
its. which were torn from the hurricane
deck of the Northumberland when the
boats came together, have been recov-
cred and are lying on the wharf of the

To recover the boat and equipment the
schooner Ada Ballenger was used. 1t re-

boat. lying in about twentyfour feet of
water, but some little trouble was had
in hooking the tackle to it, but when
this was done it was soon raised to the
surface. Beyond being somewhat denied
it is stated that the boat is not badly
damaged. Work on the Northumberland,
which is in progress at a Baltimore ship
yard, is being pushed. but it is stated
that it will be a week or two before she
will be ready to resume service. as al
most one entire side is being made new.
The steamer Newport News has com
pleted repairs and is now in service on
the Norfolk route.

One Now; Billions Later.

The letter sent out by the committee is
as follows:
THE Housekeepers' Alliance respect
fully calls the attention of the managers
of the Washington markets and grocery
stores to the large number of flies that
every summer swarm over our food in
these places.
lnasmuch as flies carry much filth and
many disease germs and leave these on
the food where they light. we ask your
cooperation in trying to keep all places
where food is sold as free from flies as
is possible.
We would ask you to take special no.
uce of the electric drop light cords, gas
fixtures and scale rods, to see that they
are free from flies.
If a large canvas or paper were
placed under these early in the mornin e
before the food was put in place, and
while the flies are stiff these cold morn
ings. and all these fixtures were brushed
down and the flies burned up it would
help very much. as one fly may produce

70 Keep Flies Out.

Fly netting tackled over the store and
market windows, and screen doors, that
automatically close tight, would keep out
nultitudes of flies, and prevent their
breeding inside. If these doors were
swabbed over with a mixture of coal
Oil and carbolic acid it would prevent
many flies from lighting on them and
coming In when the door was opened.
Use sticky fly paper. and traps, even
dishes of soapsuds will help drown them.
A fly poison not dangerous to human
beings may be easily prepared by buying,
at any drug store, one dram Of bichro-
mate of potash and dissolving it in two
ounces of water. add a little sugar and
place in shallow dishes.
"A small room can be cleared of flies
by pouring twenty drops of carbolic acid
on a hot shovel. The vapor will kill
them.
The Housekeepers' Alliance will later
prepare a white list of those stores and
markets that are kept free from flies. or
III the streets and alleys near markets
and groceries were kept scrupulously
clean. IL the litter from horses were re-
moved several times day. the cutters
where the delivery horses stand were
flushed occasionally and the ground
sprinkled with coal oil, II would do much
to reduce the number Of flies inside the
buildings.
