Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
DANvIIIE, Va, August 24.-Last Satur-
day night. or more properly speaking at
en- early hour Sunday morning, a citizen
of this city went home and told his wife
that he had misplaced an important tele-
gram. She asked him what the nature of
the telegram was and he said that it was
a message from Blacksburs stating that
their little boy. who was at that place on
a visit had fallen over the banisters and
broken his neck. The news soon spread
through the skneighborhood. Sunday
morning and number of people called TO
offer their coincidence. But the telegram
was not found, and upon inquiry at the
Western Union Office 1t was ascertained
that no such message had been received.
IL is now believed that the man dropped
to sleep before going home and dreamed
that such message had been received.
EFFECT OF DISPATCH ADVERTISING.
The acme gas which was recently adver-
tised i'll the DIsPATCH is attracting much
attention here. Works will soon be erect
ed in North Danville, and the citizens of
that place will be supplied with it at cost
not exceeding 81 per 1000 feet. 1t is also
proposed to put in a small plant on this side
of the river and supply number of resi-
dences on Nam street, which will use the
gas not only for lighting but for heating
and cooking purposes. /. is said that the
gas can be made for Csc. per 1000 feet.
PROGRESSING.
Work on the North Danville street-car
track is progressing and it will not be long,
before the cars vii be running IN that
town.
1t is said that one of the wealthiest and
most prominent citizens Of this city will
ION the Methodist Conference at its next
meeting and devote the rest of his life TO
the work of the ministry. He Is a
thoroughly practical, sensible man, has
been very successful in business and will
be great acquisition to the Conference.

A MEETING OF OYSTERMeN.
Speeches Made and Important Resolution
Passed-The Present Law Defective.
Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l

Especial telegram 10 the Dispatch.l
GLOUCESTER COURTHOUSE, Va, August
A.-There was meeting of oystermen at
Hogs store Saturday night. MIR. L. A.
j. Oliver in behalf of the planters made an
interesting and instructive speech, show
ing that the interests of the planters and
tongers are identical. Mr.. Carmine CON-
planned that the rights of tongers are taken
from them, and that the inspector has been
partial in assigning planting ground. He
offered the following resolution, which
was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the present law should be
amended so as to secure an accurate and
permanent survey of all the natural rocks
and all of the planting ground in the
waters of the Commonwealth, and that the
boundary between the natural rocks and
the battle-ground be marked by proper
metes and bounds.
A NEW INSPECTOR.
Mr.. Booker offered resolutions asking for
the appointment of new inspector, and
advocated culling law which should pro-
hiblt the taking Of oysters less than two
and half inches long from the natural
rocks.
MIR. Cartel opposed the resolutions, and
they were laid on the table. He tried to
show that all of the evils complained Of
were due TO the present law.
The oystermen seem to be agreed in the
main, and yet the different classes antago-
nize each other.
