IT CAME TOOLATE.
A Life That Might Have Been Saved
and Made Happy.

ana MdOo happy.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
"The Letter that Came Too Late" finds
an illustration in the case of Belle Johnson's
suicide on Tuesday at Howard court. In
Mrs Johnson's case, however, it was tele-
gram instead of letter, but the fact that
the message which would have stayed her
suicidal hand was transmitted by electricity
did not save her. 1t is an affecting story,
and was told to reporter by a Union Pa
cifio railway official at the ticket Office on
Montgomery street yesterday.
ga dispatch addressed to General Agent
Hitchcock came in yesterday from Butte
City, Mont, said the gentleman. ut was
an order on the Office of the railroad com
pany here from the station agent at Butte
City for railroad ticket from San Fran
cisco to that town and $50 in cash to be
given to Mrs. Belle johnson. If the opera
tors had known that human life depended
on the quick delivery of This message, they
would, perhaps. have fastened it through,
but do not believe it could have been
transmitted in time to have prevented the
fatality unless it had been filed at o'clock in
the receiving office at Butte, or sooner"
'But how did Mrs. Johnsons life depend
upon the receipt of this messagep asked the
reporter.
why, it seems from what we have learned
since getting the telegram that had she
known its contents she would not have
taken the deadly dose of morphine. Imme-
diately upon the receipt of the message
young man was sent with it to the address
given, with instructions to see Mrs. John
son, hand it to her and tell her that she
could have the ticket to Butte City and the
$50, which was to defray her expenses while
en- route"
T'ha ra ;iroad man want IN m CO " that tba
messenger proceeded to Howard Court,
and, knocking at the door, was admitted
by Mrs Johnsons mother, who was in a
distracted state and showed signs of great
grief
"Does Mrs. Belle johnson live hereT he
asked.
"She did, said the grief-stricken woman,
but she is dead. She was my daughter,
sir. That will explain my condition-my
daughter, and she has just killed herself"
When the nature of the message was ex-
planned to the poor mother, she renewed her
lame tations, crying aloud:
"lf it had only come sooner, just a little
sooner, it would have saved her life"
1t was gathered from the broken state
nents made to the messenger that the mes
sage had been sent at the request of Henry
johnson, the husband Of the dead woman.
The couple had been estranged for years,
the husband having deserted the wife, who
had not known of his whereabouts. 1t APP
pears that on Tuesdav-by strange coinci-
dence, che very day she had chosen to end
her life-he repented of his desertion and
had concluded to send for her to come to
him and again unite her fortune and her
life with his.
Instead, however, of realizing this hope,
the hus and will learn with poignant regret
OF her sudden demise, and viii have thrust
upon him the stern and saddening conviction
that had he dispatched his message few
hours sooner the happy reunion Of which
he had SO fondly dreamed might have taken
place

AMERICAN OYSTERS ABROAD.
HOW Maurice River Bivalves Have
Won Popularity in England.
From The Phi!udelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
we are taking oysters right out of Della
ware Bay and shipping them to Liverpool
regularly" said James f. Powell. the well
known oyster dealer, at Spruce street wharf
yesterday afternoon. This remark devel-
oped the fact that American oysters have
been shipped to England for many years
past. There is scarcely a steamer that
leaves this port that does not contain a
large consignment of the bivalves, which
seem to have won their way COM
pletely into the hearts as well as the stom-
achs of our British cousins Blue Points al g
the especial favorite, and recent steamer
carried over sc, 900 of these tempting shell
fish. Another brand that has proved pop
ular on the other side of the ocean are the
oysters raised at Port Norris, N. j.
The oyster trade is booming at the pres
emit time, and large quantities are being
shipped to a considerable distance. Two
recent orders in this city came all the way
from Omaha, Neb., and Denver, Col. This
cold weather is particularly favorable to
such shipments. Indeed, it is said that if
the temperature stays where it is now for
three days more, the wholesale dealers will
be unable to supply the demand. Orders
have been received already from points as
far south as Savannah, GA. Shrewsbury,
oysters are about equally divided in public
favor. About one-third of the oysters are
brought to this city in small sloops espec-
tally constructed for the purpose. At the
present time they carry from so, 900 to
10000 prime oysters, with about as many
'culls." The balance are shipped on by
rail, arriving on the wharves, as general
thing, the day after they are caught.
The business of planting oysters and hav
ing them to grow properly after they are
planted, is not very well understood by the
general public. There is a great deal of
money invested in the industry along the
Delaware Bay, and occasionally some of
those heavily interested, in financial man
ner, como out of the little end of the horn.
The process of catching the oysters and fat
tening them for market is, to say the least,
very interesting one. After the oysters are
caught they are placed on an immense float,
which is air tight OH all four sides. There
are number of corks in the bottom of this
boat, and after the oysters have been care
fully laid out on the bottom the corks are
Withdrawn, allowing the float to fill with
water and go to the bottom of the bay.
The oysters will then open their mouths
like any other fish and drink to their hearts
content. After two or three tides have
swept over them they are brought to the
surface once more. BY this time they have
become plump oysters ready for market.
The supply at the present time is about
equal to the demand. Choice prime oysters
sell at from 81 to 50 per 1000. while "cul-
lens" rate at from So SO to SO SO per l, 1000
