BANKRUPT oYsrBnMEN.
And Restaurant Stews that Lack Even
the Lonely Bivalve.

New YORK, Sept. 10.
A trip among the Wholesale oystermen on
West street discloses the startling fact that
the yste- planters have sustained . loss of
nearly o.. 900. 600, owing to the storm this
week. Many of the planters have suddenly
and most une expectedly been forced out Of
business and into bankruptcy. James W.
Boyle said that all the splendid oyster beds
on the Great Hills. the called middle
grounds at Oyster bay, and the beds on the
sandbars in Jamaica bay and kockaway are
almost all ruined and the stock total loss.
On many of the beds which are located in
the creeks and inlets the so called sea lettuce,
or salad. is from two to three feet dee p, and
the cost Of removing it will equal the value
Of the oysters. Over 1000 oyster openers
have been idle for three days, waiting for
the arrival of the oyster boats. but they wall
probably wait in vain. There are now hun
dreds of restaurants which cannot obtain an
oyster.

and one battery Of light artillery In the
city procession was formed ut the same
hour, made up of five divisions. The line Of

Shawnee streets to the railway station, where
ranks were broken and the special train en-
tered which was to carry the people to the
fort, where the government troops were
drawn up to receive them, headed by the 9Th
regiment band, led by the United States SOL
diers. The procession reformed and marched
to the grounds at the fort, where the monu-
me mt stands.
There the troops were massed around the
veied figure. Behind them were stationed
the G. A. X. post and uniformed societies,
while the remainder of the multitude took up
positions where point of vantage could be
found. Rev T.. F. Holland, chaplain of the
department of Kansas, G. A. r. opened the
ceremonies with prayer. Brig. Gen. Wesley
Merritt, U. S. A., commanding the depart

multitude. As the veil fell to the ground
there was revealed to the spectators statue

ished granite pedestal of equal height. The
left foot is slightly advanced. and the left

ADJUSTMENTS.



This popular home play comes to Granite
Hall tomorrow night under the mana agement
of J. NJ. Wall. The members Of the com.
pany presenting it are all artists in their pro-
fession and will no, fail to make most fav-
orable impression upon the audience. The
plot Of the play though not deep is sincere
and true to life. The advance sale Of tickets
at iunt's music store has been good and
promises a large audience to witness the per-
formance. The following criticism is from
the Portland Press.
"Denman Thompson's and George Ryer's
play Of The Two Sisters" which gave so
much pleasure when seen here last season,
was given last night at Portland Theatre to
an audience that thoroughly enjoyed every
mon ent. THE Two Sisters IL a play
which conveys a moral, and 10 a success. for
il is one of the kind that appeals strongly to
the noble nature of man, and teaches him q
lesson Of good. It is novel play. reversing
the order of things. There has been nothing
pirated into the four acts from sensational
ism. 1t is a story Of home, Is interesting,
instructive and satisfactory. THE Two
Sisters" play and company, may be classed
as the acme Daturalism. The ente rtsining
things outside the drama, the singing by an
excellent quartette, the whistling bootblsck
chorus by the company, and the colored min
strel and the funny episodes follow each
other with astonishing rapidity.
Last night Mr.. Frazer Coulter. as Pepper.
from Montana, gave strong represen ntation
of the big-hearted Westerner; Mr.. DE Getz,
a. Handsome Harry. was good william
Misses Merrick and White were pretty and
forcible as the 1.-TWO Sisters Mrs Stove,

Weber, as the barber, Mr.. } T.. Brown a-

"a hours overdue. Beside a big cargo and
her regular crew. she had on board the cap
tain and sesmen of the sbipwrecked schooner
William o. Snow Of Taunton, reported to

she put into Delaware Breakwater,
with hundreds Of other vessels, and
came to anchor about one and half miles
southeast of Brown shoals, where it was ex.

coal barges in tow, put into the breakwater
and anchored short distance above the
Snow. On Monday night one Of the tugs
barges broke away. and early Tuesday
morning struck the schooner full on. The
latter vessel filed, went over on her beam
ends and disappeared. Her captain and
crew took to the rigging. The barge went
