Tux OYSTER LAw.-Judge Irving
Of the Dorchester county court, has
promulgated his opinion in the case
of the State vs.. Capt. Meredith, and
discharged the prisoner from the Gus
tody of the Sheriff. The Judge says /:
Il should dismiss the petition and re-
mand the petitioner to the sheriff if
had the slightest doubt on the sub
ject, but after the most careful refiec-
ton and examination am entirely
convinced that in so far as the act of
1884, chapter SIS, does require of a
person already having a coasting
trade license an additional license from
the State of Maryland for carrying
oysters before be will be permitted to
carry them as this petitioner did, the
same is void, because the act in that
regard is in conflict with the United
States laws, and repugnant to the
constitution of the United States.

The evidences of improvement in
the general business situation are not
by any means so strong as they are
represented to be by many sanguine
observers, but the prices Of articles of
necessary consumption are low, and
stocks remaining in the hands ofcoun-
try merchants were extraordinarily
small at the opening of the antrmn
trade. As consequence, there has
been comparatively active move
ment, especially in dry goods. The
circumstance that the grocery trade
has as yet received little impulse is not
an encouraging indication for those
who make the wish father to the
thought. and say that The evil day is
over, and the happy time Of prosper
ity has already come. Such general
Improvement as there is, and undoubt-
eddy there is Improvement to q mod

committee invited him. He told the
President of bis invitation, aud asked
him some points on the policy of the
administration so that be could make
bit in his speeches. To bis surprise
the President gave him a pointer
which completely dazed the old man
and left him sad and sorrowful. The
pointer was that he (the President)
did not wish any official under the ad-
mnistraiion to leave his desk to take
part in any political campaign. Gen.
Rosecrans spoke fervently in regard
to the necessity of his stumping Ohio
and the good be could do, but the
President was obdurate and only said
If you go it will be considered vio-

any thing but the mention of this re-

A Railroad Sold.

The river division of the Ohio Central
Railroad, extending from Corning, o.,
to Charleston, w. Va, was sold last
Thursday to Erwin Davis, Albert Gal
lup and Ed. G. Hohmans, trustees for
bondholders, for 100000. Ten thou
sand and six hundred acres of land be-
longing to the company were purchased
for $4,000. The bridge across the Ohio
river was sold at Parkersburg on the
18th inst, under decree OF the United
States Circuit Court, to pay liens for
construction. The price of the bridge
was 100000. One million dollars in
stock and one million in bonds on the
bridge were sold at Charleston for
$1,000, but this stock and bonds merely
represent the balance remaining after
paying liens i'm the Parkersburg suit.
That surplus being $1,000, the latter
purchase was made by Edwin Davis and
John w. Simpson, who are committee
for the bondho.ders. The completion of
the bridge will be rapidly pushed for
ward. Work on the Ohio Central road
above Charleston will be continued after
April LIST next.

She Got No Pensi on.

Last week letter was received at the
Pension Office in Washington from a
Connecticut. woman, enclosing an APP
plcaton for Il widows pension, and in
the regular order of business it went to
the files. The recording clerk glanced
over the list, noticed that man of the
same name given by the widow vas
drawing a pension which had been
granted him in 1873, and was being paid
through the California agency. 1t re-
quired only few moments search TO
discover that the record in the two cases
was identical. The widow offered no
proof of death, but her affidavit stated
that she had not seen her husband or
heard Of him since the war, and sup
posed that he had been killed In battle.
A letter was written to her stating that
her husband was already drawing a
pension for wounds received during the
war, and by return mail came an in
0uiry for his whereabouts. She said
she haG been mourning his death for
twenty years, but was very glad to hear
that he was still living, and if the pen
sion people would only assist her in To-
eating him she would make it very lively
for her truant spouse,

1t isn't any relation to the crazy-quilt
craze, which belongs solely to the ladies.
All we have to do with that, you know,
is to supply pieces CT our cravats to our

men. You'll appreciate it. know
you will. Well, I'll tell you all about
it. You see, in the first place buy a
number of plain white silk handker-
chiefs. Then ! distribute them among

is expected to embroider her initials or
monogram in her own hair in fhe cor

full? The idea came from abroad, but
it has taken Immensely here. You see,
the lady who has long, luxuriant hair
has change to deity show the fact,
while the girl who hasn't-well, | sup.

A Coachman's Conquest.

A dispatch from Philadelphia dated
October 2lst, says: ''Thc Rev. Mr.. and
Mrs. Swan C.. Franzene left Ardmore
to-day for Minnesota, where Mr.. Fran
zene will labor as a missionary among
the Swedish settlers. Their recent
wedding has made public the history
of a romantic courtship. The bride is
daughter of the late Charles Kugler, of
Ardmore, for many years State Senator
from Montgomery county and long
identified with the Lutheran Church and
Publication Society. Her sister is Dr.
Annie Kugler, now missionary in In
dia and recently assistant resident ply
stefan in the female department of the
Norristown Insane Asylum. While
Miss Florence was still pupil of the
Friends school at Fifteenth and Race
streets, she formed the acquaintance of
the coachman of DR.. d. Hayes Agnew,
who spends his summers at his country
place near Ardmore. This coachman
was Swede of ordinary education, not
at all, in the eyes OF the world, the
proper mate for young lady Of Miss
Kugler's position, educrtion, and pros
pective fortune.
Nevertheless, she declared the deter
mination either to marry the coachman
or 20 with her sister rs a missionary to
India. The young lady's relatives and
friends opposed the match. The coach
man resolved that he would fit himself
to be the young lady's husband. Ac-
cordingly, he left DR.. Agnev's employ,
and entered upon the studies required
for the Lutheran ministry. During his
school and theological course Miss Flor
ence patiently waited. At last the young
Swede's efforts were crowned with sue
cess. He was ordained, all opposition
gave way, and last week Ardmore was
entertained with pretty wedding in
the Lutheran Church."

his arm. Brakebill died in a few hours.
He was sixty-fve years old. The SON.
in-law lived on part of Brakebill's

lily matters. Robert Beal, the Sunday
previous, had married granddaughter
of Peter Brakebill, the girl clipping with
him. Peter Brakebill accused William
Beal of bringing about the match. They
have quurreled over the matter many
times since Sunday. After shooting

A dispatch to the New York Sun of
Monday last gives an interesting ac-
count of West Virginia fathers troub-
les with couple of clipping daughters.
Joe Isenberg, a young man living in
Moorefield, was sutton for the hand of
Miss Alice Wolf, aged about 20, daugh-
ter of James Wolf, Esq, of that town.
Miss Alice returned his affection, but
her father objected to their marriage.
On Friday night Joe went to the place
where Alice was working and persuaded
her to elope with him to Maryland.
They got to MOorefeld about II O'Clock
on Friday night, hired horse and
buggy, and started for Keyser. some
body informed Mr.. Wolf Of the elope-
ment, and he Immediately set out in
pursuit, armed with pistol, and reach
ed Keyser, where Joe left Alice while
he went to Cumberland to get license.
While he was gone Mr.. Wolf rode into
Keyser, found out where his daughter
was, took her in charge, and got out
warrant for Isenberg. When Joe re-
turned to Kcyser with his licence he
fell into the clutches of policeman.
On condition that he would let the girl
alone he was released. He went back
to Moorefield. got another horse and
some ammunition, and struck out to
meet the stage on which Mr.. Wolf and
the girl were returning. Somehow Mr..
Wolf got an inkling that Joe was COM
ing, and got out of the stage, took the
girl behind him on his horse, and went
by another road to friends house,
where he stayed all night. Next day
at about noon they reached Moorefield,
and went home. 1t is reported that
while Wolf was away another daughter
eloped with young man named Reb
Funkhouser, and the last heard of them
was that they were in Broadway, Va.
Mr.. Wolf is now after this couple with
shotgun.
