Chairs and SIX Shooters.

Last Thursday night a fight occurred in
Casper between Bill Clark and Ed Telly,
two gamblers. and two cowboys belonging
to the Bay State outfit, named Frank
Webb and Mike Lynch. The fight arose
over a poker game. Clark Is reported to
have hit Lynch over the head with a
chair, when the latter tried to get a gun
and was knocked down by a SIX shoot ter
in the hands of Telly. Frank Webb also
got a crack on the head with a gun, but
the gamblers were not hurt until next
day, when they were fined SIS and costs
each. The Natrona Tribune say the
cowboys were anxious to renew the fight,
next day, but the gamblers declined to do

In lss4.we caught, by more than
half a million bushels, less than we
did in 1885. In 1887 We caught,
by nearly one million bushels, less
than We did in 1888.
Taking the past six years togeth-
er they average G,25O,OOO bushels
as the pack of Baltimore city per
season. 1t will be observed that
fluctuations ;-e-4---&~~,eo0
to 10000 bushels, are not un-
sual-a flush year generally follow
ing poor year.
Climatic conditions are the prin-
cipal cause of these fluctuations,
and freshets from the great rivers
destroy the young oyster. 1t is a
fact that oysters known as "lump"
oysters-that is, oysters caught,
say from Sandy Point to POOLS
Island, and which formerly came
to the Baltimore market-have
not been seen during the last two
seasons. Those grounds were wash
ed by the great freshets of 1889,
and the oysters were for time
destroyed; yet to-day practical
dredgers say that the bars are COW
cred with a young and promising
crop: so that, under favorable CON
ditiOns, it is anticipated that next
season may see the catch 90 up
1000, 900 bushels, as it did in 1888
after the poor year of 1887.
The falling off of the catch this
season is due also to the operation
of the "cull" law of 1890. The
boats have come up laden with
oysters which have brought good
prices, and the small growth left
on the grounds, as the result of
this sise and proper legislation,
promises, with still more stringent
enforcement of the law, an abun-
dent supply for future seasons.
Without disparaging scientific
attainment or undertaking profess
ional learning, say that were | to
seek authority on the prospects of
the oyster supply, / would look
among this audience rather than
into the law Offices of the city. /
would question the men who, from
youth to age, have gone up and
down the creeks and bays and in
lets of our coasts in the practical
pursuit of their calling. ] would
strive to follow the natural law in
legislation, rather than the theories
of artificial production.
What, my fellow-citizens, is the
moving impulse which leads these
promoters of corporations to take
so lively an interest in the welfare
of the public fisheries? Shall we
say that they are prompted thereto
by spirit of disinterested patriot
ism: Who, let us ask, would
profit by the adoption of their sys-
TEN! Would it not be these very
gentlemen who are now SO eloquent
in their lamentations: If these So
called depleted bars can be made
profitable to them, can they not be
made equally profitable for the peo-
pie: Does not their declared in

GENTLEMEN
am glad thai falls to my lot
to participate n demonstration.
As 4 rule. the ffsa5 shen not bias
ed by personal convictions or indi-
vidual interests, is reliable conser-
vator of the public liberties but
there are times and this is one, when
in view of the important interests
involved, it is right that We should
directly appeal to the people, that
We should seek to know their opin-
ion, and abide by their judgment.
Their judgment has ever been right.
That irresistible force which we call
public opinion" has ever guard
ed the immunities of the many
from the encroachments of the few.
1t is as potent to-day as it ever was
III the past +; and this great con-
course, coming up from the ham,
lets and villages and towns of our
State ; this gathering of the peo-
pie that dwell along the shores of
the Chesapeake Bay, and by the
pleasant margins of the rivers and
streams this great multitude from
the highways and by-ways of this
city, pressing into this forum to-
night, moved by common impulse,
armed against a common foe, will
awaken anew in the hearts of free
people the abiding principles of
liberty, right and justice.

1.-The pursuit of happiness and in
the possession and enjoyment of
property by the individual, but they
regard efforts to secure private pos
session of the public domain as
crimes against the State.
This people is long-suffering, and
patient and kind /; slow to anger, it
is true but when, at last, they
awaken to the fact of an invasion
of their sovereign rights, it is gen.
orally wise for would-be intruders
to crawl into convenient holes out
of the impending storm. Standing,
then, in the presence of this people,
tonight, shall submit, with defer
ence, some thoughts relative to the
subject which has brought us to-
gether.
1t is interesting to observe how,
of late years, the minds of some of
our fellOw-citizens have been en-
lightened on the subject of oysters.
A man may have spent his life in
other pursuits all his training and
education may have been in an OPP
posite direction !; yet a trip down
the Bay, the study of a report, the
survey of map, inspired by the
delightful anticipation of a pros
pective grab of fourteen and one
half miles of Kent County shore,
and he is suddenly transformed
into an authority on the propaga-
ton and cultivation of oysters I!
A sort of mental disease is cpl
demic, which acting on corporation
promoters, reacts upon the public
mind. The promoter sees every
thing distorted by his desires. He
assures us that an industry which
gives employment to upwards of
5000 people, and indirectly con-

we have grand possible total Of
275, 900 people interested in this
industry.
During the last season 1893
dredgeboats sailed from Baltimore
and shipped 1857 hands. The
wages advanced were s25,9ls, and
the full wages paid were s1O3,3
OF these hands 1855 were Ameri
cans, l,660 Germans, 1884 Irish,
and the remainder of scattered
nationalities. Now, all these peo-
pie caught, packed and handled
this season 9,115,OO0 bushels of
oysters. The loss sustained by
reason of the operation of the law
of 1890, chapter 6O2, popularity
known as the "cull" law-that is
to say, the oysters rejected in the
measure because they did not come
up to the required size of 2! inches
amounted by actual count, among
all kinds of oysters measured, to
10, $50 bushels in l59, 900 bushels.
or SIX per cent. loss on the entire
catch. These oysters were not
counted in the measure to the
buyer. although they were packed.
the loss falling on the seller-a fact
which discloses weak point in the
statute. Add, then, six per cent.
to the total measurement for the
State, and We have $3.50, 900 BUSH
els as the total pack for 1S9O-91.
The oyster pack for Baltimore

A PATHETIC STORY.
The Life Struggle Of a Poor
Inventor.
AN OLD MANS PATIENCE.
Years Of Wal ting 10 Brighten the
Life OF His Aged Wife.

pathetic story was recited In the dis
tiict court at East Providence today, and
the various phases of it have most of the
material OF q melodrama.
John Bsrden, 10 years old, and his wife,
Of so years, live in poverty in poor tene-
ment at East Providence Centre. The old
man is too far along towards the grave TO
be able to work, and his aged wife is bed
ridden. They were very poor, too poor in
fact TO pay the rent of the rooms they lived
In, but the old man was looking hopefully
ahead for better times.
The silver lining to his cloud was pa
tent for pipe wrench which had recently
been granted him, and which Mr.. jerks. of
the Arm of Fsles & jerks Of this city, was
looking after for him, Day sftsr day the
old man would place medicine and food
within reaching distance Of his bed ridden
wife, and, Notwithstanding his 70 years,
tramp to Pswtucket and back, intent upon
the revenue he fondly expected from hi,
invention.
The attention of the bsneficient Congre-
gstionsl Society was called to the fact ths,
Mrs. Barden was at one time a member OF
the Bene6cient church, and the society
delegated Clerk Webster of the common
pleas court to look after the couple. He
dispensed the funds set aside by the society
for their support and arranged with the
landlord, s. T. Whelden of East Provi-
dence, about paying the rent for the months
of July, August and September. lie also
arranged with Wheljon to notify him
before the 18th of ta- present month II
the society decide to pay the rent for
October.
On the 18th Mr.. Webster notified Mr..
Whelden's son that he would pay the rent
as before, but on returning 70 hi. own home
he found old Mr. Barden there, who in.
formed him that he had already been
served with writ of ejectmcnt, ordering
him to appear in court on the 18th. Mr..
Webster quieted the old mans fears, Sc.
cured postponement of the case until to.
day, and, although he had never appeared
in district court before, notwithstanding
his long years Of membership at the bar, he
acted as the old mans counsel. BY his
move in contesting, he has insured peace
for the couple until the first of November
anyway, and by that time perhaps the old
lady may be we'll enough to be moved.
