SOMETHING ABOUT OYSTERS.
Suggestion That the Fish Commission
Would DO Well to Follow

Corr,srondence 81 The Evening Star
CHERRYsroSE. Va, January 9, 1893
Nearly all the writer's and experimenters on
oysters devote their theories and practices to
methods of catching and conserving the Young
fry but no difficulty Of this sort presents
Itself 10 the practical oyster culturist The
method in vogue in this country OF arranging
winrows Of oyster shells at right angles to
tie flow o. the tides furnishes all the means
necessary TO obtain a full supply Of cultch and
Is as well the cheapest and best method vet dis
covered. The difficulty that presents itself to
the oyster planter Is OF an entirely different
nature and tina; is the supply Of the necessary
food. and this marks the limit Of production of
the oyster and the whole animal and vegetable
kingdom - well. Throughout the entire Chesa-
peake bay region oysters this season have been
generally poor. and the of this is bee ause
Of the comparative absence Of rain. Oysters
feed upon minute PARTICLES of organic matter
lriuclI al!v vegetable. as well as upon animal
cules developed therefrom. Hence We can see
that II the rains are insufficient to wash down
from the land the necessary food the oysters
must pine and Will neither grow nor get fat.
The tat oyster Is what the market requires
rather than size. Not only the oyster. but all
the tribes that inhabit the waters derive all
food from tho land. either directly or indirectly
I he small directly. the larger, a rule. from
the small.
Again. il NAV be observed that even under
favorable conditions a given area NAV be over
stocked by the FISHERMAN. and therefore the
oysters vii not thrive, because there is not
food enough to supply all. The practical
remedy tor this Is to thin the stock Just as the
Practical grszler sells off his surplus cattle and
sheep to enable his pastures to furnish food to
those remaining.
But the point wish to emphasize is this.

A Big Failure In Toledo.

The firm OF Dewey, Rohers 4 Co. Of Toledo,
the largest Wholesale shoe house in Ohio,
has failed. Liabilities said to be in the neigh
borhood of 100000. The assets are about
s35o,oo0. 1t is said by those in position to
know that several Of the city banks are heavily
involved. The First National Bank is rumored
to be interested in the failure to the extent of
$50. 900: the Holcomb National CSC. 900 and the
Northern National 412, 600. This is not. how
ever, definitely known. Samuel G. Foster was
appointed receiver. The failure, it is said, was
occasioned by disagreement Of the partners.
About one year ago W. A. Insworth, q member
OF the firm, withdrew with large amount Of
money. and the trouble had dated from this
time. The house was one Of the Oldest in the
city. For over 20 years the business has been
carried on under various names. No one even
suspected the dissolution Of the partnership,
though 1t was said that large amount of the
firms paper had been floating around In eastern
cities.

The Murder nj Dukes Wharf,
Of The Evening Star.


UPPER MARLBORO. Nh, Jan. o. 1893
Sheriff Bowen OF Calvert county arrived here
last night from Washington, where he expected
to get Wiliett who murdered John T. Reed at
Dukes wharf in Bowers neck. Calvert county,
on the night Of Xmas eve, but found that the
man arrested was not the one he wanted. In
conversation with Sheriff Bowen The STARS
reporter learned that the fight az Dukes wharf
came near ending in a double tragedy instead
OF single one. After deliberately shooting
Reed in cold blood. and while he was still
standing IN the crowd. man named Smith
caught biz, and had quite wrange with him.
him. Smith. however. succeeded in wrenching
the pistol from his grasp, and it was then that
Wlllett made his escape. He got some one to
row him across the river to Benedict and
has not been seen since by any one or any
officers in Charles or ST. Mary's county.
Sheriff Bowen thinks he crossed the Poto-
mac river and is In hiding somewhere in
Virginia. but ii is the prevailing idea OF many
that he is somewhere in Charles or St. Mary 8
counties Reed was good sort of a man,
harmless and peaceable, and was respected by
all who knew him. The murder was committed
in such a bold manner that but few of the crowd
knew II had happened. Had il been generally
known at the time Willett would have doubtless
met tragic death On the spot. 1t was rot
thought at first that Reed was SO severely shot,
until Xmas morning, when a sudden change
took place, and he only lasted few minutes
Had Willett killed him dead on the spot he
would have been shot TO death by the angry
crowd with his own weapon. 1t is to be hoped
that he will be run down

WITHOUT OVERHEAD WIRES.
An Electrical Invention That Promises
Supers-de the Trolley.

An Electrical Invention That Promises to
Supers.de the Trolley.
From the Engineering Record.
The English electrical engineer Mr.. F. Wynne
OF London. formerly manager OF the Brush
Electrical Engineering Company, claims to have
perfected a system of electrical locomotion
without the use of overhead wires. 1t is on
the closed conduit plan. He lays an insulated
ca lie in groove the under side Of con-
tact rail resting on bituminous concrete foun-
dation. This contact rail is laid in sections in
sulated from each other and between the main
rail OF the line. Contact boxes. in which cleo
tro-magnetic contacts are provided. are so con-
structcd at proper intervals that each Of them
puts two consecutive sections of the contact
rail in connection with the main conductor.
The car is provided with three contact pieces,
although two only are absolutely needed. The
forward pair OF these covers a little greater
length than one rail section. These various
parts OF the conduit system and car SO operate
IN connection with each other that two consecu-
tive rail- sections are first put in contact with
the main conductor as the car reaches them and
thus enabled to supply the motor with its
power. They are then relieved from the con-
tact as the car passes. THIS cycle of operations
Is continually repeated as the car travels from
one end of the line to the other
A closed conduit for the transmission and ap-
pilcatior OF electric power is in this manner
completely secured. The contact makers are
so closed with cast-iron covers that all water is
excluded. small central battery on each car
is used to operate the electro magnetic contact
makers for the purpose of starts from sta
tions.
Mr.. Wynne's claims are supported by Mr.. T..
Parker, chief engineer Of the Electrical Con-
struction Corporation of London and his sys-
tenn may furnish q possible escape from the
trolley.

REMAINS OF THE STONE AGE,
Interesting Discovery in Mounds in Western
Mountains.

strange and apparently very important
discovery of old graves, copper and stone
weapons ard implements and monoliths has
just been made in Santa Maria and Guyana
valleys, in the Coast mountains in California
Thus fan the discovery has attracted the keenest
interest though as yet it is known only locally.
The graves are in mounds which rise FIVE or six
feet above the surface, and the mounds them
selves often seventy-ive or one hundred
feet in length Of en- almost round or oblong
shape. 1t is believed there are thirty or forty
graves in each mound.
A. ID. Bowen of the state senate told the de-
tails far rs is known.
The discovery was made about four weeks
ago by Juan Olives of Santa Maria who dug
into the mounds, which have been known to
exist for a long time. At a depth of ten feet
he dug into a grave. The first thing his pick
struck was polished slab. 1t is of slightly
greater length than an ordinary coffin Of an
adult of the present age. When he gazed I'M
derneath he looked into long box of stone
that had nothing in it bat dust. The body had
laid so long that even the bones had disap-
peared. and there was nothing else but ashes
The grave was older than any he had heard of
In the past.
The slab was of peculiarly hard and polished
stone. the like of which there was none it, all
the country. Ii was very thin, however, hay
ing been worked down until it was not more
than half an inch thick. Olives worked awnv
and got ont other stones. The top bottom
sides and ends were all of the same curious thin
stone, and had been set in the earth and held
by the soil without fastenings.
He explored further and found numerous
battle axes and other weapons of copper; YES
sells peculiarly made of stone curious copper
disks, resembling coins, were also found. There
were many In the graves. ard the Investigator
pushed his way still further into the mound.
He found many other copper implements, axes
and rude knives, some quite long. and looking
as though they had been used as spears.
Mounds are scattered along for a couple Of
miles.
There are probably couple hundred of them.
Knowing there were similar mounds in Guyana
valley adjoining he pushed on to them and,
digging III. found collins. dust and implements
OF stone and copper similar to those Of Santa
Maria. Everywhere were the marks OF an an
Gent race. il is believed antedating any here
tofore known on the continent
lie gathered up some Of the dust and kent il
with the copper and stone weapons he had Sc
cured. Some of the weapons are now ut Santa
Maria, where they are attracting great atten-
ton. An expedition is being talked of to ex-
plore the ancient mounds thoroughly Mr.,
Bowen also tells that high above the stage road
between Los Olives and Santa Barbara, near
the graves, are some natural monoliths and
rocks with smooth surfaces. on which are carved
many strange characters, looking much like the
characters used by the Egyptians in designing
their tombs.

Claude Matthews was inaugurated governor
OF Indiana yesterday afternoon. Retiring Gov.
Chase led Mr.. Matthews to a stand erected
in the corridor Of the capitol. where the ne W
governor delivered his inaugural speech in the
presence Of the members of the house and

Gov. Matthews in his address commended the
new tax law favoring restrictions for the gov
eminent of the foreign building and loan asso-

cials and lower their salaries than increase
both. He opposed the increase of the tax rate;
advocated the creation OF a sinking fund for the
payment OF the state debts favored the cleo
ton Of United States Senators by popular vote
and deplored a constitutional convention as toe
radical. Tonight. at the state capitol. q grand
inaugural ball will be held. to which the eeneral

At the meeting Of the New York presbytery
yesterday afternoon Rev. Dr.. Edward L. Clark,
pastor of the Church of the Puritans, handed
in a communication stating that he wished to
resign as a member of the Presbyterian as
sembly and asking the advice Of the presbytery
as to the proper course for him to pursue. A
committee of three was appointed by the
presbytery to confer with DR.. Clark.
DR.. Clark, in his letter. says:
Il desire to know whether it is your wish
that my name be dropped from the roll or tina.
the usual letter Of dismission be given me.
cannot consent to certain doctrines considered
essential by the great majority Of the Presby-
terrain Church, viz:
"First-That the inspired word as it came
from God is without error.
''Second-That the Scriptures are false and
Christ is untruthful unless Moses wrote ali of
the Pentateuch, and Isaiah the entire book OF
which bears his name.
"Third-That the omniscience and unchange-
ableness Of God depend upon the fulfllment
of every detail and figure Of predicted
prophecy.
"a knowledge of the historic Christ and
Of written Scripture is necessary in the
church and that all other light which God
Is pleased to give is insufficient for salvation.

sured by what though: unquestionable au-
thority that the interpretatlons of the standard
we're not required of its ministers
1T is possible that in the reunion they were
lost sight of.
AFTER thirty years Of conservative. and, as
thought. consistent teaching, the deliverances
OF the general assembly, the religious press, the
prosecuting committee of the late heresy trial,
have convinced me that l am mistaken. 1t

LEO XIII'S SUCCESSOR.
Cardinal Vannutelli Regarded as the Pop
Own Choice

Cardinal Vannutelli Regarded as the Pope IS
Own Choice.
sensation has been caused in Rome by the
letter of Pope Leo to the people of Bologna, in
which the pontif states that in nominating Car
dinal Serafino Vannutelli to be archbishop of
Bologna he had obeyed the divine inspiration.
This unusual declaration on the part of the
pope Is regarded as tantamount to designating
Cardinal Vannutelli as his successor in the pom
hficate. The pope is also reported to have re-
marked: "Vannutelli goes to Bologna a cardi-
nal and will return pope" The letter of the
pon'iff also removes perplexity which the NOM
nation OF Nannutelli to be archbishop of
Bologna had caused, some regarding it as an
exile from Rome.
Cardinal Seraino Vannutelli was born at Gem
aZZano In the Compagna di Roma November
26, 1884. and was created cardinal March IA,
1887. He has been appointed nunclo at Brus-
sels and at Vienna. and is brother of the cele-
brated Cardinal Vincenze Vannuteli, ex-nuncio
at Lisbon, who has n high reputation as diplo-
matist. Cardinal Serafiuo Vannutelli has lately
held the post OF secretary OF memorials and Of
the grand chancellery of orders. Ii ia under
stood that the pope desired him some time ago
to accept the post OF secretary of state, which
Nannuteli did not care to take Cardinal Sera-
fno Vannuteli has for some time been promi-
nentiy mentioned III connection with the papai
succession and il supported by an influential
ecclesiastical party, with whom, it ia believed,
Pope Leo is in sympathy. BY sending vannu-
tell to Bologna he is removed from the in
trigues CT Rome and his friends will have free
field to labor in behalf OF his candidature.
