The bodies of the other two. Richard and Levl Allmond, were found yesterday morning. The bodies were In a ?:.tie of decom? position, and had been partially eaten by crabs.

The too low rrite offered by the Seaboard Air Line is said to bo one consideration, but the seaside resorts hereabouts have been the gainers by these low- rates, which have brought the people in crowds from the hot interior points. If the Raleigh excursions be taken off. those from Charlotte to Wilmington, also, will t>, discontinued.

Kif*iiiclli mid Uncd For IC.tllway KWltCltCS?Snnllnrjr nml Oilier Advantage* to Ho Gained. The suggest Inn made a few days ago i by a leading Water street merchant, in an interview with a reporter of the Virginian-Pilot, relative to the tilling up of Koanoke Dock tso called), has at tracted much favorable comment. Speaking on this subject yesterday, a prominent merchant, who Is located mar the dock, suggested a plan that may be feasible, popular and conducive to a greatly improved sanitary condi? tion, as well as affording ample railway trackage there to relieve the conges? tion so frequently a cause of annoyance on Water street. The plan would be to till Up the northerly half of the slip, as this half is exposed at loa water and the fetid mud throws off foul gases, that create an intol. cable stench. In the other half the water Is of sufficient depth t" nccommndatc what few boats or pack? ets use the dock. This slip is now about :'.00 feet long from its head to the river fruit, and about 00 feet wide. The tilling up of half the slip would extend the present full width of the street about 150 feet, ami the new head of dm slip Would le? in front of the premises occupied by Tbl' gentleman who proposed Alling up on.-hair of the slip staled that the Norfolk ami Western railroad is will? ing to lay two or three side-tracks along Koanoke street from Water street to the head of the slip, If it is tilled up to hall" Us length or its en? tire length. The company now insists that ears loft on Water Street to bi? unloaded by local merchants must be unloaded with? in a few hours, or damage charges will accrue, but, if foe Improvement pro? posed Is made, it will run cars down these new proposed side-tracks and leave them In the hands of the local in. ri hunts for three to live days, it so desired, without any ihargo for de? murrage. This is an advantage that all shippers will appreciate, for it will give them plenty of time to load or unload cats ami do away, practically, with all | expense for demurrage. It* iin- slip is HU.d up to one-half Its) length and three side-tracks are laid down to its new head, this will give about 450 feet of trackage, or enough to accommodate nine to twelve cars. This will materially relieve the conges lion on Water street, which is often crowded with cars, to the great incon? venience of all other than railway traf? fic. The sanitary condition at the head of the slip was in its usual deplorable con? dition yesterday. At its head was a three-days' accumulation of debris, composed of rotten eggs, dead poultry, watermelon rinds, stale truck and other components of a sanitarily undesirable nature. The tide was out and the reck? ing mud was throwing off its usual foul odors. People who have only casually con? sidered the condition of things there have probably not thought about the large sewer that is exposed at low tide ami that discharges into the slip there a mass of matter that adds to the Ul? sa nltnry condition, j It is stated that this sewer can read : lly bo extended to the water front, so that the offal it discharges can be car? ried directly Into the river, instead of falling at the head of the slip and rot-! ting and festering there. The .tit ire drainage of Koanoke ave? nue and Koanoke Square, from Main street to within twenty feet of the wa? ter is brought down in open gutters. Within twenty feet of the dock this is ? lumped into an underground sewer. ; which runs int.. the head of the slip. Through this the debris of tin- street, old truck and other stuft' is carried into the slip, where it decays. As to tin- c..s: of the Improvement, this has not been estimated. The Blip is owned largely by a non-resldcnt. who owns one piece of property at the southerly end of the slip, it is said that one of the property owners there will donate his right In the slip to the city if it is till, .] up. ami probably oth? ers would do likewise on account of the enhancement to their properties that would result. It is estimated that the property .along the slip would be In? creased in value li. to 20 per cent, by the improvement suggested. Denlli of Mrs. Knnlmnit.

It- Hicks, counsel for Maria Allmond, widow of Carey All mond and mother of Levi Allmond, two of the three colored men run down in the Elizabeth river, capsized and drowned last Tuesday. Tile suit is for $10,01)0 against iltahlijiungy schooner Levin A. Insley, Captain Davis, of Bal? timore, said to be valued at only $1,600, or thereabouts. The third one of the party drowned was Richard, a brother of Carey Allmond. Deputy U. S. Mar? shal James West started at onceJ 'to serve the libel, when ward was brought that the Insley was getting under way. and a lively chase ensued. Sprinting to Capt. A. N. Marshall's tugboat office, the Deputy Marshal called fof n fas I ?tug. Luckily the Marietta was at the wharf with Steam up. ami Mr. West at once went aboard. Lines were cast oft and the chnso began. Tlie Insley is a good sailer ami the wind yesterday af? ternoon was moderate southwest, which was a good Balling wind. At II o'clock !kst night nothing hail been heard of tug or schooner's return, and the chase may reach to Baltimore. An out A cf| unlit In tier. The numerous acquaintances of Cnp tnin L. B.
