to the tragedy of the cicades who es-

= Tho somerse t Tragedy.

In our last issue, mention was
made of horrible crime committed
in Somerset county, miles above
Pocomoke City. Our exchanges con-
firm the statement and give the name
of Edward Carver, constable of that
county, as the victim. He was,while
attempting to prevent a breach OF
peace, attacked, it is stated, by II
negroes from Virginia, engaged
in Somerset at berry picking, and
beaten to death by them with
beer bottles. Soon after the crime
was committed all of them were ar
rested and placed in jail at Princess
Anne, Md. and on the following
night the jail was broken open by a
party of men and one of them, Isaac
Kemp, was lynched. The others,
viz: George Parker, George Brown,
George Holden, Alfred Conquest,
John Hall, John Handy, George
Hammond, Elmer Cooper, Thomas
Smith, Leonard Conquest and Jno.
Williams were sent to Baltimore,
Saturday, and placed in the city Jail.
Kemp was not a native of this
county. The other prisoners say that
he was the only one who either hit
or cut the constable. With one or
two exceptions, perhaps, all OF the
other prisoners are from this county.

The dorsey CITY DaliYery.

The following letter from one of
the leading commission firms of New
York has been handed to us for pub
LEGATION. 1t explains itself:
MR.. H. G. WHITE, SR.,
Accomac G. H., Va.
Dear Sir:-In answer to yours re-
ceived, this day, would say, as long
as the goods. are carted over there
will be charge of 10 cents per barrel.
l have been canvassing the trade the
past two days, to see if it was not
possible to sell the goods in Jersey
City but find that, unless there is
some change that l cannot see in
sight, these goods will have to be
carried over, and this additional ex-
pense put on the already burdened
grower. I visited one of the firms
that the railroad put on their circu
lar as being one that would not
charge carriage, and asked him how
he could cart the goods over the river
for nothing He said he could not
and told the railroad people, at the
time, that he would expect to get his
carriage out of the goods. asked
him if he did not think it bad pre-
cedent. His answer was not salts
factory. You can readily see the OBJ
ject of these people is to get business.
I had the opportunity to do the same
thing, but, on general principles, l
will not allow anyone to use me as q
tool to further their own interests.
That is what these five firms are
doing, and 1t should react against
them. Any man, with half sense,
knows that those goods cannot be
carted over the river for nothing. In
relation to selling in Jersey City, if
they could sell there we could, and
we would much prefer to do SO than
have our store blocked up with these
heavy. goods, to the detriment of our
other business. There would be no
trouble in selling these goods in Jer-
sey City, if we could get the buyers
to go there, and they would be
compelled to go there, If all these
goods came to the one centre, but
they can get them in New York;
hence their refusal to go to Jersey
City. l have noticed the past
month, at times. some of these goods
have been scarce: then some few OF
the buyers would go to Jersey City,
but you can readily see that we can
not depend on that kind of a mar
ket. This is the first time l have
written my views on the matter.
The R. R. people say that the COM
mission men have worked against
this Jersey City delivery and have
antagonized it in every way they
could. l cannot say as to this. l
know A. F. Young & Co. have given
it thorough trial and, as | said
above, l have been canvassing the
past two days to see if [ could not
get some encouragement to try and
sell these goods in Jersey City, but
have concluded to cart them over to
New York, where l know they can
be sold If the buyers won't go over
there, we must take the goods where
they will buy them.
neglected to state that 1 had
salesman in Jersey City for three
weeks after that spacious, pleasant
place was opened (the R. R. Co. have
splendid facilities, and j am truly
sorry it is not a success), but was
compelled to withdraw him for want
of sufficient number of buyers to buy
the goods, at fair market prices.
Yours truly,
A. F. Young & Co.
