AN OYsTER.DREDGER CAPsiZED.

Especial telegram 10 the Dlspatch-l

[specisl telegram 10 the Dlspatch.l
ONANCocK, Va, March 5.-Persons
arriving here yesterday brought news
that an oyster-dredgiDg boat containing
Captain William Pruitt and his two young
sons, from Tangier island, WAS capsized
of the mouth of the Potomac river
during a terrible gale several days ago,
and that all on board were lost. The
boat had all her sails up and both dredges
out in tho water when the gale sud-
denly struck and capsized her. Several
boats were close by, but the furious gale
blowing, snow. and high sea prevented
them from rendering assistance. The
report that two others were on the boat
when she capsized lacks confirmation.
Captain Pruitt had the misfortune to
have two young children burned to
death about one year ago, and his two
SONS who were lost with him were aged
fifteen and twelve.
An important meeting Of the Accomack
truckers and fruit-growers was held here
! Saturday afternoon, when committee,
! headed by ex-State-Senator Finey, wes
appointed to ascertain to what extent
the New York, Philadelphia and
Norfolk railroad has been exempted
from the operation of the inter
state commerce law. Complaints are
made that this line continues to dis
criminatc against shippers on the East
ern Shore, charging them nearly twice as
much for carrying produce to northern
markets as the shippers .around Norfolk
have to pay for sending their produce to
these markets over The same line. 1t is
also said the produce is shipped over the
line from Norfolk and other points South
to Philadelphia In less time and better
condition than from the Eastern Shore.
The committee was instructed TO confer
with the Interstate Commerce CoMmis-
sioners and ask for Il redress Of griey-
