THE OYSTER LAW.

A Memorial Asking the Governor to
Veto 1t,
The oyster law passed by the legislature.
and now awaiting the governors signature,
has caused something of a stir since its pro-
visions have become known.
A memorial urging the governor to veto
tho bill has besa widely circulated aud ex
tensively signed, and will reach Atlanta to-
day.
The government survey by Ensign
Drake. which was a hurried survey, does
not locate the entire oyster territory. The
bill md amendment by Representative
Ryals define as public beds those so marked
in the Drake survey. AS q large territory
is not included in this survey the oystermen
would be shut out by the oyster companies
taking up the beds not described by Ensign
Drake.
The interests Of large number Of people
are involved ia the bill, ard the synopsis
published in the MORNING News on tho eve
Of its passage aroused the oystermen. AS
soon as the bill passed the House Senator
Williams was written TO with request for
information as to what committee in the
Senate it had been referred. A reply was
received AnZ. IA as follows:
"Ehe oyster bill passed the Senate yester-
day by substitute submitted to Mai. Ryals
and accepted by him. The bill is nov be-
fore tho House for its concurrence, and
presume it will be acted on to-day"
Mr.. M. J. Desvergers, who has taken an
active interest in the matter, and who
went to Atlanta to oppose the bill, was
asked yesterday about it.
The bill, as originally adopted said
Mr.. Desvergers, "was hurried through the
House before the people interested in 1t had
been given time to inauGurate opposition,
and a substitute, of which they had not
seen word, had Como through the Senate
aud was back in the House for concur
rencen
Mr. Desvergers was in Atlanta Monday
and notified the governor that Z memorial
setting forth tho objections to the bill was
being circulated for signatures, and that it
would be forwarded TO him in few days
A copy of the bill as passed has been
circulated throughout the county, and the
dissatisfaction in reference to it is wide
spread. The people. Mr.. DesverGers SAYS,
do not understand why q bill
in which the seabcard isso deeply in
terested was not published Immediately
after It's introduction, and the fact that a
Senate substitute (which is regarded as
more pernicious in several respects than the
original bilD should have been hurried
through the Senate and Immediately con
Cured in by the House, has stirred UP the
people.

James Brady. an Irishman aged
about 80 years, residing at Elkton, at
tempted to kill his wife last evening.
Brady who has wife and four chii-
dren was getting ready to shave him
self. when he had quarrel with his
vile, and rushing at her with q
razor In his hand caught her with his
left hand, and attempted to cut her
throat He succeeded in intlicting a
cash which extended from the right to
the left jaw across her chin. He also
slashed her throat and cut her hands
In several places. The woman succeed.
ell In making her escape, and although
she is badly injured it is thought she
will recover. Brady finding that she
had escaped, made an effort to cut his
own throat, and succeeded in inflicting
a gash three Inches long, which came
near aevering the iuglilar vein.
Deputy Harvey Mackey was sum
mOned and arrested Brady. He was
taken TO jail, where his wounds were
DRESSED by Doctors Mitchell and ia
mar. The wounded man became very
weak from loss of blood and In anticl-
patton of his death. the Rev. Father
Murphy was sent for. Bradly par
TALLY recovered from his faintinK spell,
but his case was serious one and will
probably prove fatal.
1t Is said that Brady and his wife
had frequent quarrels he charging her
with being too Intimate with his broth
or Michael. who boarded with them,
but was obliged to leave on account
OF their quarrels. The would-be-mur-
derer is employed IN the Singerly
pulp mills, and has the reputation OF
being an industrious man, but of u
very Quarrelsome disposition
He denies cutting his wife, and
claims that when the quarrel com
menced she obtained the razor from q
closet, cut him, and that she was cut
while he was trying to get the razor
from her, but this story Is not believed.
Brady is thought to be of unsound
mind and that the muder was premedl
tnted on his part. He mailed letter
here to-day to Father Murphy, stating
that he desired him to call at his, Brad
y's, home to-day as this was the last
day he had to live
This 7-year son admitted the at
tempted murder, and told the story
to the officer and nelghbors. The razol

being memorial OF George Ban

of James b. Beck, senator from
Kentucky, by Senator Gray; pro-
ceedings OF the Historical Society
of Massachusetts; six papers of the

presented by Bishop Coleman: History
OF the American Episcopate, by DIR.
Patterson; History OF the Church In
Burlington, by DIR. Hills, and a very
valuablepamphlet entitled Reflections
Upon the Perils and Difficulties of
Navigation in the Delaware" This
book was issued by the Philadelphia
Chamber OF Commerce and bears date
of 1899. Bishop Coleman also pre-
scented a memoriam OF DIR. O. Elton
Buck issued by st. Andrews Church
and the Church Club.
The following persons were elected
members OF the society: Horace w.
Cause, Daniel W. Taylor, Lawrence B.
Jones and Frank Il. Carswell.
Mr.. John Elliott OF Newark, through
Lewis Q. Vandegrift Esq, presented
the society with one of the most valu-
able books received for some time. 10
is journal that was kept on board
the United States frigate Constellation
from March 10, 1902, until March Of tho
following year.
II contains daily record OF all hap
penings on board during that time.
The Constellation was frigate carry
ing forty-four guns, and was com.
manded by Alexander Murray, Esq.
Commander" as the book states. The
book shows that the Constellation was
at this time on her way to Trlpoli and
that as she passed through the straits
Of Gibraltar, she sighted the United
States ships Philadelphia and Essex.
The donor, Mrs. Elliott, is daugh-
ter OF the late Benjamin Caulk, who was
nephew Of the latelCommodore Mac
Donough. As Commodore Murray and
Commander Marlborough were warm
personal friends 1t Is supposed their
books became mixed up In some way,
and that this record has come down
through the different generations until
the present time.
