MORE OYSTER TRoUBLEs.-A dele
cation from Somerset county waited on
Governor Brown at Annapolis, Nd,
yesterday to seek redress through the
executive of Maryland for recent cap
lures of Maryland oyster vessels in Tan

Hardly had these proceedings taken
place before Commander Howard, of
the oyster navy, received a telegram
from Marion, Somerset county, Md,
asking him to come down at once, as
they were having another oyster war,
this time in the Annamessex. The
telegram was signed by Jno. S. Thomas,
deputy commander in charge of the
Helen BaughmaD, located in Eastern
bay. Gov. Brown Immediately ordered
Commander Howard to proceed to the
scene of trouble in the steamer Gov
ernor Thomas, which is armed with
breech-loading cannon and b%reech-load-
ing rifles. The ship has on board a
good stock of ammunition. 1t was not
known to what extent the new warfare
had developed, but it is known that

The following opinion of the Corporation
Attorney upon the memorial of st. Mary's
Church was read and received:
ALEXANDRIA, Va, Feb. 21. 1884.
To the Honorable City Council Of Alerdndria:
Whereas, By resolution dated November
%, 1898, the memorial of st. Mary's Church
congregation in reference to the opening OF
south Pitt street was referred to me to asccr-
tain and report.
First. When and how the streets passing
through Yeatcss Garden were dedicated or
condemned TO public use.
Second. When and how such dedication.
if made, was accepted by the corporation Of
Alexandria.
I have given this matter a great deal Of
| consideration, and find that Pitt street has
been been dedicated to the public use rs far
south as Jefferson street. The dedication was
made by the owners of the property selling of
lots and describing them rs binding on Pitt
street. This of itself is sufficient dedication
and no acceptance by the City Council was
| necessary. l find that Pitt street south Of
Jefferson street has never been dedicated for
public use. Every conveyance of this prop
crty from its original owners down TO the
present time includes the street. 1t is true
that from the expressions and rccitals in the
deeds there was an evident intention to dcdi-
cate this portion Of Pitt street to the public
use. but the records do not disclose that this
intention was ever carried out.
Very truly yours,
SAMUEL &. BRENT.
Corporation Attorney.
