TIE oYsrER SEASON.
asess BIvaIves OF the Year Coming
N0Nv.

While in some Of the siatos adjoining
the oyster is prescribed by law during the
months that lack an ''r'' in their orthogra-
ply as an article of merchandise and
consumption, Delaware il more fortunate
and traffic in the delicious bivhlyes is
continued the year around. A popular
impression to the effect that the oyster il
unfit for food during May, June, July
and August has been entirely disproyed,
and in this State the trade is quite con
siderable one during the summer months.
A heavy dealer Monday morning said, the
law in neighboring states prohibiting the
sale of oysters is becoming dead letter,
and the disregard of its provisions is
more general every year. During the
summer season certain brands of oys-
tiers, especially the salts, are just MS
good as ut any other time and the demand
is of such Importance that dealers are
catering TO it. Just at this season and in
the fall oysters are better than during the
cold winter months. When the freeze up
comes the oysters are affected by the cold
and greatly weakened. After the thaw
out they recover their strength, fatten
up, and the consumer really gets more
toothsome delicacies during April and
May and part of June than during the
mid-winter when they are enormously
supposed to be at their best. The guam
titles taken at this time are much less
thnn during the winter as only fishing
with tongs is permitted in many of the
beds after April 18th. This kind of fish
ing is held to be beneficial TO the oyster
beds inasmuch MS it breaks asunder the
hard surface, scatters the oysters and |
giving them better opportunity for
proper development. The planting |
season is now under way and inn |
mense quantities of the young bivalves
are being taken from the Chesapeake and |
laid out in the Delaware bay. The pro-
duct Of the latter are much the finer of |
the two and the trapsplanting imparts to
the sin"ll fry the desirable qualities of
native spawn. The opening of the new
railroad to Cape Charles City has
developed a number of new oyster beds
and increased the supply very materially.
1t has established the industry that sec
ton and it has grown into such import.
ance that it is receiving careful attention,
and grows rapidly.
In this city during the hight of the sea-
son about 10000 bushels of oS sters are
used every week, and the consumption in
creases largely yearly.

Senator Thomas Il. Carey died suddenly
of apoplexy about o'clock this morning.
He spent yesterday afternoon i'll Denton,
and retired last night feeling well. He
was sleeping soundly when his wife arose
this morning. When she came into his
room to call him to breakfast, an hour
later, he was gnsping. He lived o ly n
few seconds. Senator GMey's death re-
moves one of the wealthiest and best
known men in Caroline county. He was
65 years old, having been born in Caro-
line county in 1921. He had lived all his
life in Caroline county, and was once q
bound boy. by economy and careful
attention To business he had become the
heaviest land holder iii the county. He
had been active in politics. In 1851 he
was elected clerk of the circuit court, the
first one elected under the constitution of
that year. He was strong Union man
during the wal, and in 1S62-G3 was deputy
provost marshal for Caroline county.
He was Democrat after the war
until 1877, when he was elected
on the fusion ticket to the state senate,
defeating the late Hon. Daniel Fields.
He had since been allied with the Repub.
licans. Senator Carey was twice mar
ried, and leaves three children by his first
wife and four by the widow. His eldest
son, Col. r. j. W. Carey, is a prominent
Republican lender, and was last yeal

Mems Democratic Club, last night week,
the following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted:
ResolUed, That in the death of the Honor
able William q. Whiteley, an upright and
honest Judge, this State is called upon to
mourn for one whose every act while in her
service rendered only to add lustre to her
name. A man Of sterling worth, who filled
all Of the many public positions to which he
was called with honesty and ability; who
performed his duties as an officer of our
courts, as mayor of our city, as our repre-
sentative in Congress, and finally as judge,
in manner that increased In all the love
and respect they had for him and set worthy
examples for his successors In office.
Resolued, That in his death the State has
lost u faithful servant and citizen OF
whom she may well be proud, and the
Democratic party is deprived OF one Of the
ablest advocates and defenders Of its prin-
ciples and one who assisted to gain for 1t
that hign reputation for honesty and earn
estness Of purpose and the confidence OF the
people of this State, which 1t now enjoys.
ResolUed That the secretary be instructed
TO hand a copy of these resolutions to the
public press, and that as n further mark OF
respect to the distinguished dead this meet
Ing do now adjourn.

Injured while stealing a Ride.

William Devall, about 23 years of age
residing in Baltimore, fell from moving
freight train near west yard Thursday
and sustained severe injuries. He had
been visiting friends in this city Thurs
day and nthe evening boarded the freight
for ride back home. In going round
slight curve near west yard Devall lost
his hold and fell from the bumper of
a freight car to the side of the track.
He was picked up and brought
to the police station, suffering great pain
from his injuries, and DR.. Hughes was
called in to administer relief. An ex-
animation disclosed that his jaw bone
had been broken, his thumb fractured
and painful cuts were found on his fore
head and jaw. There were also numerous
scratches and scars covering his face and
hands. After the wounds were dressed
the patient was much more comfortable
and this morning after receiving addi-
tional medical attention, was taken to the
hospital department of the almshouse.

ARRESTED AND BATLED.
The Ex-POstmaster of Milford
Taken Into Custody.

The Ex-POstmaster of Milford
Taken Into Custody.
Reuben Stewart, ex-postmaster of Mil
ford, was arrested yesterday week by
United States Marshal Newlin on war
rant sworn out by Post Office In
spector LaRue Harrison. charging him
with a defalcation to the amount of
$500. The ex postmaster was brought to
this city in the evening by the marshal. He
was taken before United States Commis-
sioner Smith during the evening, waived
a hearing and was held to bail in the sum
of 1000 to appear for trial at the June
term of the United States district court
The arrest was shock to the family of
the accused and il is said the deficit
would have been made good by his
friends had they known of IL in time. On
the other hand it is stated that his friends
at Milford knew of it three weeks ago
and had the opportunity to help him if
they wished to.
The accused is the official who was
charged by the Smyrna Record in its
columns some time since with swindling
a number of people in Milford who had
given him money to be sent away by
money order by keeping the money and
putting it into his own pocket. The
Record also charged him with keeping
money sent to the Milford post-otlice
from points abroad, instead of delivering
it to the parties entitled to it. The paper
declared that several people who discov-
cred his crookedness received Sums of
their money back only by the hardest
dunning and threatening. From the
charge under which he has been arrested
it appears that he has been suspected of
taking and retaining the governments
money also.

TRADES uNIoNs oovFEREyog
No Thought of An'agOnizing the
knights OF Labor.


CLEVELAND, May 3.-P. B. Mcclure,
general secretary of the Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners, whose name
headed the list of signatures to the secret
circular made public yesterday in Pitts.
burg, was interviewed yesterday regarding
the object of the conference of trades
unions.
Being asked who was the author Of the
circular, Mr.. Mcclure said "Now that
the matter has been brought into print,
/ will not hesitate to admit that l am the
author of the call for the proposed con-
ference of the chief officers of all the
national and international trades unions
1.-The conference will be held at Phila.
delphia on the 18th of this month, and
since its issue many hearty responses
favorable to the call have been received
at my Office. l prepared the circular
after due consultation in various cities
with many prominent labor men, alike
trades unionists and Knights of
Labor. Had il been n matter
of public concern ! would most
gladly have given the circularto thenews-
papers at the start. From all indications
some indiscreet or misguided person in
Pittsburg furnished the circular to n GER
tain daily in that city and since then
have been besieged with letters and tele-
grams concerning il. There is no cause
for any undue alarm, and far less need
for sensational announcements of labor
war or of bitter struggle between the
trades unions and the Knights of
Labor. No such thought ever entered my
mini--not for moment; nor is it the in
tent of the signers of the call. Nothing
would afford the enemies of organized
labor more pleasure than to see the
trades unions and Knights of Labor pre-
cipitated into open hostilities or engaged
in an internecine quarrel-which it is
needless to say would be mutually hurt
full if not largely suicidal" .-...
''What is the object of the conferencef"
'tAs | understand it the object of the
proposed trades unions conference, and
II is distinctly stated in the call, is to
devise plan for u closer alliance and
submit the same to the general officers Of
the Knights of Labor for their adoption. !"
1t is hoped that in this way both orders
can enter into reciprocal agreement or
understanding to work together in
parallel lines without any collision or
antagonism and without encroaching
on each others legitimate work.
For want of this, difficulties have
cropped up in a number of in
stances and unless something is done
there is every likelihood of their re-
currence in the future. There is a
certain raw, impatient and inexperienced
element that has recently floated into this
labor movement. This element is hostile
TO the patient, constructive conserva-
tive methods of trades unions, and as
is said in the call for the trades union
conference, under cover of the Knights Of
Labor, and as far as We can learn,
without authority from that body, this
element pursues its work. Now il
is with view to checking this
strife breeding, anarchical element
and to arrive at q harmonious understand
ing with the Knights of Labor that the
call is issued.n

First-That wages remain ut the present
rites for the ensuing year.
Second-That all competent journoymen
house painters shall receive 80 25 per day.
Those not worth this amount are to he re-.
jected, but this does not apply TO old house
painters who may have lost In "a measure
the vim and elasticity Of youth. They are
entitled to their rightfnl recognition.
Third-1hat every journeyman employed
In shops securing work must turn the same
into the shop where he works, or may have
worked, he, to have charge of tho same at
shop rates.
Fourth-That each shop shall he re-
stricted to ono apprentice for every four
Iourneymen.
Fifth--That for the mutual protection and
benefit of both parties, It is recommended
that the iourneymen honse painters in their
organized capacity, instruct all painters In
car shops and boat-yaFds, when ordered
outside to work on house work, or other
buildings public or private, shall demand
the amount If wages pur d'ly, that house
painters receive. Tho justice and pro-
priety of this measure may readily be seen
and apprehended by all employers in every
department Of trade. On motion the meet
ing adjourned.

ware avenue and dupont street are about
completed and the work Of constructing the
building will be started at an early date. 1t

handsomely. The Queen Anne style OF
architecture will be employed, and all the
details will be elaborately brought out,
giving the building striliingly handsome
appearance. There will be n covered drive
way on the dupont street front and the ap-
proach will be made by an easy stairway.
At Newark there will also be u very attract

ORD Err IN CHICAGO.
How the FraterniSics May supplies
nlenI the Work of the Police.


CHICAGO, April 3O.-The Daily Meas
this morning says: "The supreme officers
of the police department have ceased in
their attempt to smooth over the fears of
the last few weeks regarding the labor
movement. Their sole idea now is that
with the approaching strikes of Saturday
there will be great deal of trouble, Con
sultations have been beld by them of late.
II was decided last night to place the
entire force on reserve early Saturday
morning. The order will probably be
issued by Superintendent Edersold to-
day. The entire force will be kept at the
stations ready for immediate duty at
moments notice. 1t is said that the mat
ter of procuring special policemen has
also been canvassed, and that many hun
dred additional men can be pressed into
service as special policemen as soon as
amy serious outbreak should occur"
I'm estimating the force the state can
oppose to the strikers should there be
trouble" observed a member of the Grand
Lodge of A. o. U. W., yesterday. "There
is an element which | don't think has
been taken into account. That is the or
ganized and drilled branches of orders
like ours, the knights of Pytbias, the
Masons and others. Here in Cook county
there are 10000 members of our order
and close on to 1000 of them are
well drilled in Upton's tactics
with the exception of the manual
of arms, The drilled men, or select
knights, are thoroughly organized, and
can be called together within an hour.
They are all Taxpayers and good citizens,
and will respond at once if summoned
by the authorities. The armed battalions
of the Knights of Pythias would do the
same, and SO, no doubt, would the
knights Templar. Our order could itself
place from 600 to 800 drilled men at the
request of the authorities in Chicago to-
night if necessary"
