De canned oc he untouched for another
season. Hardly a dead oyster was found
aud their promise of growth seemed SO
extremely satisfactory that the board
unanimously agreed 70 leave them for
unother season, although the superin-
tenuent desired 10 use q portion. While
Win only moderate rate Of growth the
company expected 10 have had here at
least $4,000 worth Of oysters. such a large
portion had died during the ensuing year
that TO dredge and handle them be-
came more expensive than TO buy oysters
gathered in South Carolina for canning
at the factory.
The result seemed so extraordinary and
unprecedented that the United States
lsh commissioner was notified. and an
inquiry was made Of him whether he had
previously known any similar case which
might have served as a guide or warning
Ills reply, received May s is as follows:
COMMISSIONER M'DoNALD PERPLExED.
THE statement in regard to the losses
OF planted oysters is as Interesting as 1t is
pefpleXlng. We have no similar case on
record, and so no past experience or
observations to build upon. l cannot sup
pose that the greater density and depth
OF the water was directly the
cause of mortality since we
md oysters off the coast of
North Carolina and Virginia living and
thriving IN water Of density fully as great
as that in which your oysters were
placed. Indirectly the density NAV have
affected the conditions of living by eX-
GLIDING forms of life upon which the oys-
ters ordinarily feed. This, however,
would manifest itself in the leanness of
the oyster and serious losses, but not in
total destruction. In water of the density
and depth in which the planting was
made you may expect to have invasions
both OF the starfishes and the wrinkles
Are you entirely satisfied that
the destruction in this case has not
resulted from the incision of your beds by
stariishesl / would be glad to have the
result OF any observations you may make,
or conclusions you may arrive at, in ref
erence to the cause of the mortality"
No wrinkles or drills were found on any
part of the grounds. Starfish made
their appearance, on the beds below
Skidaway in considerable numbers, but
they strictly confined themselves TO this
lower locality, where, alone, the density
was great enough to support them, and
the greatest losses were incurred opposite
Wilmington Island.
The failure of deep water oyster cult
ure greatly reduces the available oyster
territory in Chatham county. DIR. Oemler
does not think there are more than 200 or
300 acres at the outside of available terri
tory in the entire county. The Vernon
Oyster Company's lands are all in shallow
water, in which the oysters propagate
and grow rapidly, and are of a
fine quality. The shallow water lands of
the Oemler company on Oyster creek are
an evidence of the value of this territory
The Vernon company's property becomes
more valuable through the failure of
deep water oystering

Not a Family Affair.

Savannah, Ca, June 14.-Editor Morn.
ing News; In yesterdays issue of the
News it was stated that the neglect of
duty case against City Detective BosseIl
was dismissed by Recorder H. E. Wilson,
as the matter was family affair and the
party wanted Bossell to make an arrest
which he, at the ADVICE of the mayor, re-
fused to do. This publication was mis-
take. In the first place Mr.. Wilson did
not try the matter, as justice could be ex-
pected if he did; at least he would have
allowed all evidence against Bossell to be
given. Secondly, it was no family affair
as the Jacksonville party having the
watch belonging to the complainant's
daughter is in no way connected with her
family; and, thirdly, he was not advised
by the mayor to drop the matter, as part
of the testimony given proves, unless Mr..
M. Hanley now holds that position.

IN THE JURY's HANDS.
Albert Hodges Tried for Assaulting
Rudolph Meyer.

tUuOIpn meyer.
Albert Hodges, who nearly killed Ru-
dolph Meyer with brick Saturday
night, May q, was tried yesterday in the
superior court for assault with intent to
murder. The case was given to the tury
at o'clock, and Judge Falligant, after
waiting for verdict until nearly mid
night, ordered the jury locked up until
this morning. Hodges was defended by
7. d. Rockwell, Esq.
Meyer looked back. His face is consid-
erably disfgured His story was that
Hodges had deliberately waylaid him as
he stepped off the stoop on account of an
old animosity. Meyer admitted having
taking several drinks on the night of the
assault, but said he was not drunk and
did not attack Hodges. Several wit
nesses supported his story as to the man
ner of the attack.
The defense offered no testimony except
Hodges statement, which was identical
with that given by him to the MORNING
News the morning after the occurrence.
He claimed Meyer was raising a disturb
ance and he went on the street to remon-
strate with him. Hodges said Meyer re-
piled by calling him - - -,
and started at him threatening and
swearing. He jumped behind a tree to
shield himself and when Never struck ut
MIN ne DlCkeu up Ju6 UT1Ck ana Threw IL.
Hodges added that while he had no in
tentiOn to kill Meyer he used the brick
because he believed Meyer meant to do
him bodily harm.
Mr.. Rockwell argued the acceptance of
his clients statement in preference to
the testimony, because it would not be
reasonable to suppose man would de-
liberately attack another with a brick
unless given cause.
l,r &c
is hung on the questions of assault and
battery and acquittal.
The jury in the Mcintosh case, an ac-
count of which appeared in the MORNING
NEWS, finally agreed on a verdict of
guilty of assault with intent to murder
with an extreme mercy recommendation.
Judge Falligaut sentenced Mcintosh to
two years in the penitentiary. Mr.. Nor
gan gave notice of motion for new
trial.
Dick Kollock and Moses George, COW
thieves, pleaded guilty in the superior
court yesterday to simple larceny and
were each given a year on the chain
gang.
Prince Cole pleaded guilty yesterday
to assault with intent to murder and was
sentenced to two years in the peniten-
tiary.
Guy VIM, the negro burglar who
pleaded guilty several days ago, was
sentenced yesterday by Judge Falligant
to two years in the penitentiary.
Charlton, Mackall & Anderson were
notified yesterday that the court of .ap-
peals at New Orleans had affirmed the
decision of the circuit court at Montgom-
cry in the case of John Cuyas of Savan-
nah VS.. Hudman Bros. of Opelika. Mr.
of through cotton. Upon examination
it was found inferior to the quality paid
for. Mr. Cuyas entered suit, and the
circuit court gave Judgment in his favor

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-07-09

Perhaps the very best thing this season
for lamp service is the Tokenabi pottery
The vases OF this ware are tall, slender
japanese affairs, and put to this use, they
look exactly like what they area vase
with lamp stuck in it; and, too, this is
what they amount to--for many people at
times take out the burner and oil recepta-
Gle and use the stand or vase for long
stemmed roses.
The name comes from the clay which is
found only in Japan, and in certain spots
there; it is very fine grained, the color
exquisite and rich terra Gotta.
The vases vary in height, and are not
expensive; the most popular have the
characteristic sky dogs of Japan done on
them in gold, or else have golden drag
ons. Some fastidious buyers search out
those where the decoration is in semi-re-
lief and all the picking out done in black;
generally the dragon winds its length
down about the vase, and then in a swirl
of sand, through which he ploWs, which
lends itself delightfully."- to the black
treatment.
COOL BLUE AND WHITE.
Other lamps of good simple kinds are
of japanese porcelain in blue and white.
These are only s. or 81, and are truly
summer looking" An artist fixing
one for her bed room made the fluffy
shade of white China silk, while she
painted the fac smile of the designs on

will be paid to skill than in the game of
years gone by.
According 10 the latest rules the balls
must be of solid rubber instead of wood,
as of old. and must have a diameter of
three and q quarter inches. The mallets
must be of hard wood, the heads must be
amaranth or box, and have rubber ends
sewed on and secured by nickel bands.
There are some changes in the game,
and while they are few, they are import
ant as they tend to greater precision.
There is no "rover' nor any *split
shot, and the method of "making q
START is entirely changed.
Where once balls were placed between
the stake and the first wicket, they are
ground, partners occupying diagonal
points.
The first player whose ball stands at the
left of the upper stake takes his first shot
across the ground and aims to strike his
partners ball. If he succeeds two shots
are his in which to make the first wicket,
and he gains all the advantages; for the
remaining three players are entitled to
only one shot each in which to reach, or
attempt to reach, the wicket.
If he falls, however-which by the way
he often does-his opponent on the same
side of the ground follows and aims for
either the ball already played or its part
ner, which by this method is IN close
proximity. If he hits one or the other he
takes his two strokes and aims to make
the wicket.
If he fails, player number three has
two balls at a snort distance, either of
which he may attack, and in the event of
success he has two shots.
If he IN turn fails-which is hardly pos
sible-the fourth player has all three balls
ceeds the last man takes only his one
shot. A process of play which certainly
increases the difficulty OF the game, but
at the same time throws all the advantage
vito the early players should they sue
coed fairly well.
1t is game of skill, and the absence of
the necessity for great physical exertion
