OBJECTING TO THE IxTKas.

Mr. Boyer Promptly Meets the. Exs,n,uer.-
Examiner.
The reason why the solicitor of the
board Of prison inspectors is so industr-
ously - getting even with Calvin Carter
for not voting To continue him as attorney
of the board, is plainly to be seen when
the prison accounts are scanned. We
take from the prison report the following

MIR. Beyer's Reply.
In answer to the above, Mr.. Boyer has
furnished US with q copy Of the following
sent to the Eramiaer:
THE 500 item is only general retain
ing fec paid for services in meeting with
the Inspectors at all their regular and spe
cial meetings, usually abou: fifteen days
in the year. The item, taking inventory
and filing report" should have been item
lied, as it includes the two days spent by
mo in taking inventory, with third day
in classifying and copying it, for which
was paid $40, tho same as three OF tho In
spectors each received for two days labor
For the annual report l received Is, and
for preparing the Treasurer's 8 account, Gov
ering nineteen pages Of legal cap, filing and
advertising the same, s15.
'' AS you well know, these are the regu-
lar prices, paid every year since the laws
requiring them We're enacted, Overtwenty
years ago. Instead Of realizing $50 from
insolvent cases, the books Of PrOthOnotary
McMellcn show that | last year paid him
SEQ Of this amount for insOlvent costs,
leaving only ten dollars for myself. Ii
any previous prison solicitor ever did the
same amount of work for less than double
this amount Of money should be glad to
hear from him.
"'Thc Sides case was i contested law
suit which ended in the collection by the
prison debt interest and costs. My fec OF
twenty dollars was fixed by ono of the
Examiners most intimate legal friends.
thought it reasonable and am not afraid
Of the judgment Of the public thereon
All these items, amounting to S17OGS,
were paid to me in strict accordance
with the usagcs Of the Jail, which, so
far as can learn, have been in practice
since it's foundation, over thirty years age,
and which are exactly similar to those
which at present exis: in the Office of
solicitor OF the poor directors, Of the
children's home of the county Of I.ancas
ter, and until very recently OF city solicitor
also. The allegation that did not attend
to my duties unless was paid extra is
unjust and untrue

THE E,umi,,cr thinks it discovers
some motive for Prison Solicitor Boyer
to " get even with Prison Inspector
Carter. What it has to say, and also
Mr.. Boyer, may be of interest to our
readers whose purpose, like our own, is
to have the county keep even with ALI
officials. This seems especially hard to
do with men who pay - per cen. above
the market price for prison supplies anI
who use the convict labor free for them
selves and their friends.

ANOTHER FIGHT TALKED Of.
Sam COllyer Anxious to Meet Arthur Cham
bers In the Ring.

1t is said that the recent encounter be-
tween Sullivan and Ryan has fired the
heart OF the veteran pugilist Gam Collyer
with desire to once more try his prowess
in the prize ring. He has selected for his
opponent the champion light weight
fighter, Arthur Chambers. Collyer is
claimed to have found backer who is
willing to pit him against any light
weight in the United States, and he has
put up 500 to back challenge to light
any light weight for 81, 900 side, parti-
cularly specifying Chambers. The latter
when spoken to relative to the matter, dis
credited the story, but added, "Why, l
could lick that man SO quick he
would mt know it. When Sam was in his
best days l whipped him until he was
sick, and that too with the gloves on. He
is all broken up with liquor. don't want
to 60 into the ring again, but if I do I'd
want bigger game than Collyer.'' Coll
yer's friends say that he means fight, and
that he will give Chambers one of the
hardest tussles the champion ever had.

:. CURIOUS MAKRIAGE.
Fourteen Years Of Age and for the SecOl
Time u Bride.

fourteen Years Of Age and for the Second
Time u Bride.
Wtstorer, Md., Dispatch to the Times.
The many remarkable crimes and 10
mances which during the past three years
have rendered the Eastern shore of Mary
land aud Virginia SO notorious have just
been supplemented By an incident which
fully sustains the reputation of the shore
for strange occurrences. Last week Ella
Shores, age ii, was married to Howard
f. White, aged 1G, of Dame Quarter Dis
trict. The interest attached to this
ceremony will be apparent when it is
stated that the girl was the divorced wife
of her stepfatlier, Sydney Shores, aged 45.
On February ), 1880, the Rev. Mr.. Bowen
married Shores and the girl, then 12 years
old. On the 9th Of the same month Shores
was arrested at his home, in Danes Quar-
ter, and the Rev. Mr.. Bowen was arrested
in Mt. Vernon and taken before Justice
Robinson, of Princess Anne, and commit
ted to Jail in default of bail. Shores had
married his uncle's widow and she had
not been dead more than two months
when he induced Ella, his wife's daughter
by her first husband, to marry him,
as stated. The child was too young to
know any better and no blame was at

is imposed upon man for marrying his
step-daughter, aud the minister is fined
1900 for performing the ceremony. Both
Shores and Bowen were indicted at the
April term Of court, 1880. Both trials
took place during the same term. Sheres
Was convicted and fine of $500 was i'm
posed upon him-he to stand committed
until fine and costs were paid. The
convict was Il poor man aud it
looked as though the groom would
pass the remainder of his days in
Jail. Fortune favored him, however, and
lie escaped from Jail on May &C, 1880. Mr.
Bowen was tried and acquitted On the
ground that he did not know the girl or
the affinity existing between her and
Shores. The marriage of Shores and
Ella was annulled by the court. 1t will
be seen that on the same day of the same
month two years after her first marriage
Ella Shores was for the second time mar
ried, although only IA years old.

The Cotton CrOO

The following statement in regard to the
condition of the cotton crop was issued by
the department of agriculture
"a supplementary cotton return, made
after the close of tie harvest with an
effort for usual completeness, has re-
suited in obtaining county estimates, COW
ering seven tenths Of the entire field of
production, or SOC counties. The Decem-
ber return represented but fOrty-three
per cent. of the cotton area. The inquiry
calling Tor a comparison with last years
product was divided-first, to show the
result on the basis Of equal areas second,
the modification by increase or decrease
of acreage. The result makes the state
percentage of last years product as fol-
lows:
"North Carolina. 80; South Carolina,
50; Georgia, sc Florida, 90; Alabama,
Sc; Mississippi, 50; Louisiana, sc ;
Texas, 70; Arkansas, 50; Tennessee,
Co.. This increases somewhat the indicated
yield of December returns, but still falls
short of the indications of condition in
October of 1880. That average condition
pointed to about ,310, 900 bales. In OctO-
Der, 1870, the average was 80. On this
basis, q comparison by October condition
would point to result fully as large.
1t is probable that the panic and de-
preston naturally caused by reduced pro-
duction has had slight conservative ten
dency upon these final returns. Yet the
discrepancy between these and the previ-
GUS returns of condition are not wide,
showing an inevitable large reduction in
yield. The returns of area make the in
crease of acreage in 1881 about five per
cent, and the total acreage about sixteen
and One-half million acres. A table by
states will soon be published.
Returns of losses by the cotton caterpil.
lar indicate an aggregate loss of about
$500, 900 bales. The heaviest losses are in
Florida, IA per cent. Louisiana, II Ala
bama. 10; Mississippi, 6 $40; Arkansas,
$40; Georgia, 8 G1O; Texas, 4; South
Carolina, 2 $40. Very small losses
occurred in North Carolina and Tennessee,
and none in Missouri and Virginia,
