CHARLESTON. 8. c., Oct. 2.--Quite
futter was caused In the phosphate market

early in the morning and went up ta
Charleston Mining Company's works. in

m., leaving instructions for their mail to be

A NAVAL ENGAGEMENT.
An Oyster Dredger Surrenders TO a
Police Schooner.

Captain Harvey, of the oyster police
schooner Helen Baughman, towed into Ches-
tertown, Nd, all that was left of the dredg
ing schooner Lightning. The latter pre-
scented sorry sight. Her sails were in rib
bons, every rope was cut and her hull was
tplintered in many places. The Baughman,
too, looked as if she had seen service.
The police vessel was cruising off Wickes
Beach, in the Chester River, when she came
upon the Lighting dredging on forbidden
beds. The police boat bore down on the Of
fender and called upon her captain TO sur
render. The only reply was n volley, which
caused the Baughman's crew to hunt shelter
Captain Harvey returned the fire, and began
closing in on the lightning, with the view Of
boarding her. Skipper Smith, OF the dredger,
attempted to escape. The Baughman, how
ever, hung to him, and finally succeeded IN
getting alongside.
This was Harney's opportunity. The can
non was trained on the schooner and solid
shot sent through her sails Then followed "A
regular fusilade with small arms. At length
it got too hot for the dredger, and ner captain
signaled that he had enough.
No one was hurt, though there were some
narrow escapes. Captain Smith was az
raigned and will have to stand trial
