Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1894-11-03

A FEW months ago an industry
among US, upon which thousands Of
our people upon the bayside were
dependant, not only for the actual
necessaries of life, but almost for ex-
istency, was jeopardized by the in
stitution of proceedings in the Su-
preme Court of the United States at
the city of Washington for the pur-
pose of opening to the hordes of Mary
land oystermen the oyster grounds
of Tangier and Pocomoke Sounds.
Happily for the families and the
homes of our needy but hardy and
honest workers upon our waters, the
court of last resort sat down SO
heavily upon this claim of the oyster
men of Maryland that we will prob
ably never hear of it again, and no
man contributed more to this glori
Gus result than Hon. VIM. A. Jones.
With all the numerous burdens upon
him incident to the life of con-
scientious and hard working member
of Congress during one of its most
important sessions, he found time to
study our case thoroughly and volun
tarily coming to our defense, without
hire and without price, earnestly
pleading our cause before that august
tribunal, succeeded, with the help of
others. in winning verdict in our
favor-thereby placing every man
and woman, too, in our county under
obligations to him, for we cannot
overestimate the value of this deci-
sion to our people. 1t saved to us
wealth untold for us and to our chill
dren; it saved to many of our citi-
zens means Of livelihood for years
to come; it averted desolation in
places now busy with the hum of
trade; it averted misery and starva-
ton almost from hundreds of humble
homes on the shores of our bays and
creeks; it turned away despair and
renewed hope in the bosom of our
toilers of the deep-and the people
of this Shore would be ungrateful ii
they fail to thank and honor the
man who so generously and so ably
championed their cause in the most
critical time of their existence. VIM |
A. Jones worked for us. Why should
we not work for and vote for him?

An order has been issued directing that
the iron flag stats on the front OF all en-
gines of the Lehigh Valley Road must be
removed. A socket is substituted in
which a small wooden flag staff is placed
when required. The iron flag stats were
safeguard to the engineer or fireman.
The issuance of the order is not under
stood, but it has already been obeyed on
the local divisions. Why the iron staffs
on the engines for years and years, and
the men about the engine have become so
accustomed to depend on them that they
instinctively reach for them to support
just as they do for the hand rail along the
boiler. Those staffs are protection and
a safeguard. There will be more than
one accident due to the removal of these
extraordinary care.

ONE CENT
NOW FOR THE TROUT.
The Season for the specified Beauties is a
Hand.

Hand,
On Monday, or more truthfully speak
ing, on Sunday, the trout season will be
open, and IL you know where they can be
found the law will not interfere with your
angling so long as you use only rod, hook
and line and keep no fish under 8 inches
in length. or course, you must be positive
about the inches II you have bad
eye for distance a good plan would be to
make two parallel marks on the top of
your basket just five inches apart and
allow no fish to 90 into 1t which will not
cover one mark with his head and the
other with his tail and both at the same
time. On Sunday certainly no true angler
will cast his line, but on Monday quite a
rush to the streams will be made and he
who reaches the chosen spot at the earliest
hour will no doubt show the best results
upon returning home in the evening. But,
when we think of it, there will be very
little fish killed on Monday for the melt
ing of the snow will cause q little torrent
in the trout creeks and no person will be
able to wade them or in any manner
satisfactorily fish in them. There will be
very little fish caught on opening day. As
bait for trout the red striped earth
worms are the most alluring. They form
a more attractive object in the water
than the black ones when placed loosely
upon the hook, but some anglers prefer
the tough black ones for the reason that
they are not 50 easily pulled from the
hook by the fish.

for Jury Commissioner Do not beittle
the Importance of the position because /
do not name Mr.. Lamb in connection with
better paying office. want to empha-
size, right here, the fact that there Is no
county Office in the gift of the people so
important to the people and which makes
a better stepping stone to future prefer
ment than this very Office of Jury Com
missioner. Amy lawyer or other court
officer or habitue of the Temple of Justice
at the county seat, can tell you Of the
great need of good men in the office of
Jury Commissioner to keep bad men out
of the jury wheel. Both parties ought to
''sit on" any candidate for Jury Commis-
siOner who seeks the Office. Such a per
son only wants il for the salary that is in

names OF his friends, no matter how in
competent they may be.
l regard Mr.. q. q. Schrink, or this
borough, who has made his mark as a
School Director and who is an all-around
public spirited citizen, as the most popular
candidate for the Legislature in the
Fourth district. If the Republican dis
trict convention fails TO nominate Mr.
Schrink il will make great mistake and
sent to Harrisburg next winter, His Re
publicanism borders on idolatry for party
men and measures and yet he is never
offensive TO the opposition and will receive
the votes of many hundreds of liberal
minded Democrats. Mr.. Schrink's oppor-
tunity is this year and his friends should
not permit any other candidates aspira-
tion to be doomed ahead of that of the
enterprising merchant of the South East

be, Republican candidate for Sheriff.

Judge MeClean, of Gettysburg, has
handed down an opinion in the matter Of
a coroner's inquest, that will be of more
or less interest to county officials all over
the state. Il has always been the custom
in Adams county for the Commissioners
to pay the cost in inquests over the bodies
of suicides; but recently, when justice
of the peace, in Gettysburg, presented his
bill to the court for approval for an in
quest on William Witmore, who had
hung himself the attorney for the County
Commissioners objected and filed excep-
tions. The court sustained the objections
and It's ruling says:
As our Supreme Court has declared that
an object Of an inquest is to seek iniorma-
tion and obtain and secure evidence in
case of death by violence or other undue
means which must be understood to refer
to unlawful acts done by another person
and not to include the cause of suicide
the justice acted in entire good faith in
doing what from his knowledge of the
law he believed TO be right, but he suffered
the risk OF exceptions such as have been
filed in this case and IL the careful inves-
LEGATIONS of the legal question which had
not before been presented to the court,

is called upon to view dead body he
should make some reasonable inquiry into
the circumstances OF the death before
proceeding to summon jury and hold
the inquest. When the surrounding facts
do not show the death to be the result of
unlawful acts done by another or of
criminal negligence of another, there is no
necessity for an inquest. For the prelim-
mary inquiries, the law has provided no
compensation and they must be taken
without any.
