"GRAHAM'S THUGS" OUTWITTED.
IT'S vain-my tongue can not impart

Surveyed earth, ocean, sun, and sky,

When Mason reached home that

to see Major Delorme, and the two men
were closeted together for an hour.
Then, in answer to call by telephone,
the chief Of the railroad company's de-
| tectives came. Soon afterwards, on
pretence of wishing to see Mr.. Graham,
this bird Of human prey called at
Delorme's, and had an opportunity of
seeing Lena, so that he might know
her; and he remained within seeing
distance Of the house from that time
until she had started for Ruble's. Leav-
ing the car, she was proceeding on her
way, with her head down in deep medi-
tatiOn, when suddenly she was lifted
into closed carriage, and bound and
gagged. For long time she was
driven at rapid rate, when, at last,
the carriage stopped, she was unbound,
and the chief detective and another
man who then came up took each an
arm, lifted her out, and hurried her
into an unOccupied car Of a train stand
ing at water tank in a deserted
spot. When they had entered the car,
the train moved on. Outcry would
have been vain; for the two detectives
would only have needed to explain that
she was an insane patient, and not one
person in a million would have doubted
for an officer can do no wrong. Make
an officer of the vilest wretch that
breathes, and the average "law-abiding
and law-lOving" American citizen will
believe him as incapable of wrong as
an angel-unleSs he be an incumbent
of one Of the higher offices of govern
ment, into which sometimes really
good man may stumble. Even had
any passenger doubted Lens's insanity,
he would not have interfered; so great
in our American eyes is the awful
divinity that doth hedge our kings
detectives and the police. So Lena
was in her fathers power. The reader
already knows the rest.

y c MORE OYSTERS.
Reduction la the Rental OF oyster "ro"""'
Asked For

Tho House Committee on the Chesa-
pcakc and its Tributaries met In the ha'i
OF the House yesterday afternoon WIN
Mr.. Cooke In the chair.
rho first bill taken up was the one
,,,roduced by DR.. Smith. of Northum-
hori,nd which provides for the reduction
a. rho rental OF oyster grounds from ~
CENTS TO 3 cents on the eastern or sea
shore ~ Accomac and Northumberland
srd from one dollar TO fifty cents for the
vos,ern or bay shore. DIR. Smith exhiD-
tied ga tnples of oysters from the east
ern shore. and explained that the oysters
on that shore are much harder to raise
than in the bay. and that they suffered
a great many de~predatons by crabs. etc.
lie added hat the people were not Will
inc 10 paw fifty cents per acre. and the
state would find IL 10 its advantage to
mako the reduction. While he admitted
that n reduction OF the price was also
very desirable for the western shore.
he was willing 10 let the consideration
of that question 20 by for the present.
Colonel Boykin, of Isle Of Wight.
thought IL might be better to leave the
whole matter for consideration in a joint
session. and this was finally agreed TO.
The same course was taken in regard
20 several other bills on the oyster ques-
ton.
The committe then took up a bill In
troduced by Mir. Diggs 20 protect FISH
in the Mattaponi. Pamunkey, and York
rivers by preventing fishing with certain
Fixed devices ia water over ten feet
deep.
Captain Tabb opposed the bill, and
thought the people living there should
not be deprived Of the privilege OF fish
ing.
Mr.. Diggs explained how Objectionable
It was TO allow fishing with pond nets
at the mouth of the rivers. and DR..
Smith thought these restrictions should
not be confined to any particular sec
ton, but should be enforced all over the
State.
After some further discussion the COM
mittee decided TO report the bill adverse

tee on Fish and Game and OF the House
