Tho Oyster Season.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 15.-To-day the
oyster season for dredging and scraping
opened in the waters of Maryland and
Virginia. Commander Howard, of the
Maryland oyster police navy, who has
made an inspection of the oyster beds
of the State, reports that while the BIZ
valves condition is not what would be
called prime, yet the outlook is good
for better size aud flavor during the
season. The culling law which has
been in force two seasons, has proved
the wisdom of returning small oysters
to the bed. If the culling law, is prop
erly enforced there need be no dread
of an oyster famine In the opinion of
Commander Howard the oyster season
will be good one and there will be
more vessels licensed in Chesapeake
Bay than last year. Hundreds of
sloops, pungies and other boats are re-
ported in Tangier Sound loading oys-
tiers this morning.

MONDAY EVENING, OCT. IS, 1894.

In THE last Congress Northern
member who had become quite familiar
with one of his leading Southern
colleagues, on one occasion, in the res
taurant of the House, as apparent evil
dence of familiarity, put his arm around
the latter's waist, but subsequently
told him he had done so in order to as
certainwhether or not he carried a pistol
in his hip pocket. 1t is needless to say
that the familiarity between them
ceased from that moment, as the South
erner did not like to be on intimate
terms with man who had supposed
that he would attend the meetings OF
the House armed with a deadly
weapon. But the superstition OF
the Northern congressman refer
red to is generally entertained by the
people of his section in respect of all
their fellow citizens of the South. And
vet, among all the passengers on the
through train from the South that was
robbed last Friday night, nearly all OF
whom were natives of the South, there
was but one pistol, and that of an ante
war date. Now, as from the first. the
great trouble with Northern people is
that, with all their free schools and
cheap newspapers, they know little or
nothing of their fellow citizens whose
lot has been cast in the South.

Burned Herself and Children.

ELIZABETH, n. j., Oct. ia horri-
BILE triple.murder and suicide occurred
near here this morning. Mrs. Thomas
Harrigan, aged 80 years, living on
Grier avenue, in the suburbs, took her
three children, aged 5 and 5 years and
six months, and budding them close
to her in the hay-mow, set fire to the
hay. The mother and three children
were burned to death, and this morn
ing the charred bodies of all four we're
found in the ruins. The little ones had
persisted in their mothers arms. Mrs.
Harrigan is believed to have been in
sane. At 6 o'clock this morning her
husband, who is q vegetable peddler,
left home to go to Newark. Later
Mrs. Harrigan called at neighbours
house for some milk, but nothing
strange was noticed then in her con-
duct. At 10 o'clock this morning the
Harrigan house was discovered to be
on fire. Some neighbors rushed to the
scene and put out the blaze. Shortly
afterward the barn was found to be in
flames. The fire department was then
called out and soon had the fire out. 1t
was not until after the fire i'll the barn
was subdued that Mrs. Harrigan and
her children were missed. A search
was at once made for them and to the
horror of the neighbors on the scene.
the bodies were found in the barn burn
ed in horrible manner. A kerosene
can and some matches were discovered
by the 6remen in the barn.

ACCORDING to the report of the COM
missioner of pensions, on the first OF
last July there were one million pen
sioners, lacking four thousand. That
is, four hundred thousand more pen
sioners than there were soldiers IN the
Confederate army during the four years
of the war between the States, and that
too, twenty-nine years after the close
of that war. But worse still at the date
referred to, there were undlsposed OF
and in different stages of preparation
and advancement, claims tor pensions
to the number of 2S7, 900 more. Why,
the mere statement of these facts alon

cidental. Well, that is the sort of tariff
that the late Samuel ]. Randall favor
ed. But it is not the sort that Govern

dali opposed; and yet Mr.. Sherman sup
ports the Mckinley bill and wants it
reenacted. But it will never be forgot
ten that Mr.. Sherman is on record as
saying, that any thing is justiiable in
law and morals that can break down
the democratic party. Probably Mr.
Sherman was under that impression
when he swore that, he did not recol-
lect writing the famous Weber letter,
the most important one he ever wrote
in sill his life, as by it the vote OF Louis

and Mr.. Sherman became Secretary OF

Saturday Fred. G. Thomas, reporter
of the NeWs and Courier, was met and
severely cowhided by John P. Greg
ory, son OF the clerk of the board of po-
