PLEAsANTvILLE, May 20, 1S91.-The oys-
ter trade in this county the past few
years is of vast proportions, SO that many
ovstermen throught the State will be in
terested in the new method of destroying
the enemy of the hivalye-the star fish.
The new method or invention of getting
rid of the vexatious star fish is very sim
pie and mas been successfully worked by
Orris Doughty. an extensive oyster
planter of GitsoD's creek. The apparatus
consists of a slight frame dredge, TO
which are attached long strand of cot
ton rope, fastened at the end. As the
dredge is drawn over the submerged oys-
ters, the strings or ropes drag across the
star fish as they lie feeding on the juicy
oysters. The pests relax their hold on the
oyster and partly turning over grasp the
cords and are hauled TO the surface
and destroyed. The oyster planters who
nave tried the new experiment are very
iubilant over the successful working of
the dredge.

Tie second wonder is two springs situ-

other; in fact. they have the breadth of
the entire peninsula between them. They
have two peculiarities. When one is full
the other Railways empty; and, notwith-
standing the obvious fact that they are
connected bY a subterranean passage, one
is of the birterest bitter and the other
pure and sweet.
The third wonder Is Cold Wave cave, a
cavern from which a wintry wind per-
petually blows. The force of the wind
from the cave is such that strong man
cannot stand before it.
A forest that can not be eradicated 1 8

The Undertakers' war seems to have
degenerated into an affair Of wind.
Nothing is done except TO make recrimi-
nations. The smaller body Of undertak-
ers say that they find no difficulty in
securing all the supplies they want. and
the larger band say that as they have
assistance of Hoboken and North Hud-
son undertakers, the others will finally
be broken up.
The business of the undertakers is
happily very slow at presenr, and this the

son that there is no trouble. If business
was large the trouble would be great.

track carefully laid with rigid and heavy
rails, there is not the slightest reason to

INDIANAPOLIS. June 22.-Ex-Senator
Mcdonald died at 1875 p. m. During
early morning the unfavorable symp-
toms of several days ago reappeared,
and the patients condition continued
to grow more serious. He could re-
tain no nourishment whatever, and the
little remaining of the former strength
slowly eEbed away. But consciousness
never departed. In the afternoon the
Rev. Mr.. Milburn was sent for and ad-
ministered the sacrament. Then Mr..
Mcdonald called his family and init
mate friends about him, and calmly, as
if the occasion was one of the most ordi-
nary kind, gave directions for his funer-
al arrangements and the disposition of
some of his personal affairs. In the
presence of all he said he wished to give
testimony to his faith in God-saving
grace. Then he grasped each by the
hand and babe them goodby, saying
that he could see no more callers. His
auditors thus dismissed, the dying man
surrendered himself to the care of his
physician to await the coming of the in
evitable. He passed away very peace
fully, without struggle, surrounded by
his family. who were all in attendance
at the bedside.

The Fugitive President of the keystone
Bank Charged With Another Crime.
SPRING LAKE, N. j., June 70 Detect
i've Max Freeman, of Philadelphia, had
an exciting adventure Friday night, and
he is now in bed suffering severely from
the effects of the injuries he received
while trying to capture a man supposed
to be Gideon Marsh, the fugitive presi-
dent of the Keystone bank. Freeman
came here some days ago and stopped at
the Carlton house. He had received
word that Marsh had been seen in the
vicinity, and was in hiding at Como,
owned chiefly by his friend Harry Yard.
Freeman consulted with Constable Sex
ton, and the pair, in company with
Timothy Hurley, drove to the place
where it was believed the missing bank
president was in hiding.
They tied their horses short distance
from the house and then surrounded the
cottage. Sexton took place on the
side of the house nearest the road, while
his companions stealthily approached
the main entrance. They were about
to step on the porch when two men who
were in hiding on the step jumped and
fired at the officers. Freeman drew his
revolver and returned the fire. After
emptying their revolvers one of the
unknown men approached the detective
from behind and gave him terrible
blow with blunt weapon. Freeman
fell to the ground unconscious. The
assailants then took to their heels and
escaped to the woods. 1t was found
that Freeman was badly injured about
the hip, and there were several bad
gashes on his head.

GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.

A Receiver to Be Appointed for the FL
deity Fire Insurance Company.
ABERDEEN, S. D., June 22-Judge
Haney, sitting in chambers, has granted
an application for the appointment of a
receiver for the Fidelity Fire Insurance
company, of Huron, of which Alonzo
Wardall, the Alliance leader, is presi-
dent. The action was brought at the
instigation of State Auditor Taylor,
who found that the liabilities exceeded
the assets by nearly 1000, and that
instead of having $4,000 on hand in
cash, as provided for by the bylaws,
the company had but $3.50. The corpo-
ration will be dissolved and the effects
distributed. Six million dollars of in
surance were carried, and all policies
will be turned over to the Hecla, of st.
Paul, which will assume the risks for a
collateral consideration. The company
advertised an authorized capital of
$780, and paid in capital of $780,
QUO, with over $3.50, 900 assets at the close
of last year. 1t had been doing bust
ness mostly in the Dakotas for four
years.
