WHO DIED ElRsTf

A Question of Importance to the heirs Of
Two victims Of Battle Creeks Disaster.
Among the persons killed in the fright
full disaster ut Battle Creek, Mich, q
few weeks ago were Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Z. SAKE. So far as the evidence showed
both died instantly and simultaneously.
Nevertheless tho question az to whether
the man or the woman died first is one OF
considerable Importance TO the heirs Of
botl7. and an inquiry is already afoot to
discover if possible whether there was
any calculable difference of time be-
tween their deaths.
Ii it could be demonstrated, for in
stance, that the man was the first to die,
his property would pass to the heirs OF
his wife, whereas if it were shown on
the other hand that the wife died first
her estate would fall to the heirs of her
husband. Considerable property is in
volved in this question. and the case is
one of peculiar interest.
In cases involving somewhat the same
question Of fact the law has held that the
woman, being supposedly the weaker
person, would naturally be the first to
expire. In the present instance, how.
ever, where the :eara Vi the persons an.
peared to have been ssmn.tanec-a. sas
courts. if it is brought before them, via
encounter a problem OF a peculiarly vex.
atious character.-New York Herald.

THE ENEMY.
the Bcrer Pest Has Played Havoc VITA
the Bivalves This seasoa.

T-he Borer Pest Has Played Havoc with
the Bivaives This Season.
The .'borer." q pest about the sixe of a
small strawberry. Is working great havoc
among the oyster beds in Delaware bay
and tributary streams. Captain Moses
veale of the oyster schooner White Lily
says that the destructive powers OF the
borer have been known to .oystermen
snly q few years. He had followed oys-
ter digging nearly 30 years, and the FIRST
borer he saw Was about 10 years ago, but
their ravages in the oyster beds were
comparatively unnoticed until last year.
Captain veale said that last year the
number of dead oysters with holes made
by borers in the shell became 10 great
that oystermen were alarmed. This
year the work of the borers has become
q grave matter, and IL 1t continues many
bays will become depopnlated OF oysters.
From one bed we dredged on this trip we
got 200 baskets of oysters, but out of
these only 200 were good, the dead oys-
tiers having been killed by borers. A
peculiar thing about the ravages OF the
borers is their apparent selection of the
best oyster beds. We have found this
to be true several timec this season. We
have found a bed of small oysters almost
entirely free from borers. This bed will
be separated from another bed Of larger
oysters by zoo feet, but this latter will
be SO badly affected by the creatures that
it will hardly pay to work it.
From what | can learn from oyster.
men the destruction wrought by borers
is more severe in Delaware bay than In
other places.
The work of the borer this year
makes a double misfortune. for the .oys.
ter beds were badly damaged by the big
storm in August and September. Very
few people who are not in the oyster
dredging business know anything of tbs
methods of the borer. When | first took
notice Of its work. | secured several oys
tiers just after the borer had fastened It
self to the shell. When the borer fas
tens itself. it holds on like a leech. and il
is with difficulty that it can be removed
with the fingers.
Sometimes the borer fastens itself II
the oyster shell near the edge, and thel
the oyster is not killed. When the hal,
of the borer is made near the center 81
the shell, the oyster is attacked in its vita
parts and dies in three or foar days afte'
the hole is first made"
Some of the bed owners near Mauric'
river have lost large sums of money thi
year on account of the 'borer. Thoma
Munsey. who has a number of large beds
it is sail. will lose $4,000. Several othe
men have lost nearly as much through
this unlocked for calamity, and a mum
Der of men have lost in the neighborhoc'
of $1,000 or 5000; All oystermen So
there can be no way of taking away tn
borer without destroying the oyster beds

BANK TAX REPEAL.

Tt Will Probably Re Reported to the
House without Recommendation.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Representa-
tive Culberson of Texas, a member of
the house committee on banking and
currency, is in favor of a bill to repeal
Internationally the 10 per cent tax on
state banks. 1t has been intimated that
such a bill would be reported without
any recommendation by the committee,
and without any report al to the advis-
ability of the house passing upon ii. In
this case there would probably be sew.
eral minority reports. one against the
bill, another for it's repeal with restric.
lions by governmental control, and an
other for repeal Internationally. Mr.
Culberson favors the latter plan.

1t will create a much worse condition
