Political Workers In Baltimore Get

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE. Md, October S.-The SUI
perfof court and the city court are today
naturalizing foreigners in large numbers.
The committees of both parties are busy
looking. out for the naturalization and reg
istration. as the registration offices will be
closed after Thursday. and those who are
rot on the lists by that time cannot vote.
The workers Of both sides are doing all in
their power to get every voter on the rolls.
and the probabilities are that the list will
be larger this year than ever before.
Accusations of fraud are made by both
parties. the republicans claiming that the
democrats are padding the lists for Illegal
purposes and the democrats retorting with
the charge that the republicans are having
hundreds of negroes registered who are not
residents of the city.
Gov. Browns decision in the case Of the
supervisors Of election Blans and Cairnes,
Is awaited with great interest He has
promised to render 1t some time today.
The democratic leaders are much pleased
today over the meeting in ratification Of
the regular ticket at Music Hall last night,
and cheerful atmosphere prevailed at the
headquarters, which has heretofore been
conspicuous by its absence. The regulars
now claim that the tide Of public sentiment
which since Mr.. Lowndes' nomination has
been favorable to republican success has
turned, and that both the democratic state
and city tickets will be elected by comfort
able majorities.
Chairman Wellington of the republican
state committee ridicules the claims of the
democrats, and declares that instead of
popular sentiment turning toward MIR.
Hurst, 1T is more than ever settled in ia
vor of Mr.. Lowndes, and that the only
cause for watchfulness and anxiety on his
part Is that Mr.. Lowndes may be defeated
by enormous frauds on the part of the
democratic officials
Senator Washington Wilkinson were at the
republican headquarters today, and told
The Star correspondent that they were con-
rdent the republican ticket would carry the
counties of the fifth district by large ma
jorities. Mr.. Coffin is usually conservative
In his estimates. but his expectations as to
the vote his ticket will receive this year
are high. He claims that they are below
the mark rather than above, and Senator
Wilkinson confirmed what he said.

MARYLAND,s OYSTER BEDS.
| The Question of the Maintenance of
| the State Navy n Serious One.

The Question of the maintenance OF
the State Navy Serious One.
Hundreds of oyster schooners and pun
gies are taking out licenses in Baltimore
for the dredging season on the Chesapeake
bay and it's tributaries, which promises to
be bigger this year than last The number
of dredgers increases each year. while the
means of police protection of private beds
ard the prevention of piracy decreases,
owing to scarcity of funds for the purpose.
Many of the oyster beds that had almost
young oysters.
The supply of all the choice sizes and
grades promises to be plentiful. Oyster
planting assures large supplies in the fu-
II re- The oyster men of the Eastern shore
of Maryland are opposed to the next legis-
lature altering the laws, and declare that
the law enacted Icy the last legislature is
good enough. Regarding the planting law,
it may be stated that the act of 1886 al
loved the riparian owner to plant oysters,
and any person could take up five acres of
oyster bottom. provided he was citizen OF
the state and gave the riparian owner
thirty days notice. Under this law many
acres of oyster bottom were taken up III the
AEpamessex river. but the money invested
proved a total loss, as the oysters were
stolen and no penalty was provided.
In 1880 nine amendments were made 10
this act Three oyster commissioners We're
TO be appointed by the governor 10 examine
the bottom. A penalty of not less than
500 oT more than $500, or from one to three
years in the house OF correction, was i'm
posed for the stealing of oysters. 1t also
provided a penalty fer the removal of
bet ndaries.
In 1892 these amendments were repealed,
and the original law of 1858 came into force
again. In 1894 the act of 1865 was re-en-
acted, and imposed fine of not less than
$50 or more than s1GO, and Imprisonment in
the house of correction for period of
three to six months for the violation of
this law. Under this law over 1900 acres
of oyster bottom have been taken up this
summer in East Creek, Pocomoke sound
AnnamesseX river and Manokin river. Over
s!tO,O00 has been invested in oyster plant
Jig. While the next state legislature may
modify this law, nothing will be done to
jecpard:Ze the large interests involved
The question of the maintenance of the
state navy has become a serious one. The
present vessels and their equipment are not
sufficient, and there not funds enough
to support them. So long as the oyster
beds are not leased, and Virginia MAIN
tains rolice navy. Maryland will have to
do the same.

A KNIGHTLY THR0NG
Members Of the Order of the Golden
Eagle Assemble.
SUPREME CASTLE IN SESSION TODAY
A Parade on Pennsylvania Avenue
This Afternoon.
SINESS TO BE DONE

Jupiter Pluvius, in a spirit of excessive
inhospitality. has cast damper over the
annual session Of the Supreme Castle,
knights of the Golden Eagle. The rain
which fell last night and this morning.
while it could not be characterized as a
storm. was amply sufficient to mar the sue
cess of the meeting by keeping away many
sir knights from Pennsylvania, Delaware
and Maryland who had signified their in
tention of coming to Washington.
However, members of the order, with
their families and friends, arrived in goodly
numbers late yesterday afternoon and last
evening, that men in uniform and per-
sons wearing the handsome badge of the
organization were very much in evidence on
the streets. During the night but few
scattering members reached the city, but
early this morning the incoming was re-
newed in an encouraging manner. Chair

Advertising that does not be-

Advertising space in one pa

two members Of the engineering party
brought out OF the mine last night. are
still in precarious condition at the hos
pital The physicians fear their burns
and other injuries VIII prove fatal. The
other injured men brought out at the same
time. George Laphy and Joseph Murphy,
are on fair way to recovery.
Two Hungarian women reported to the
superintendent Of the mine this morning
that their husbands, who went to work In
the mines yesterday, had not returned to
their homes last night. 1t is possible that
both men were es.ught in fall of roof coal
near the scene Of the explosion and killed.
The resources are now clearing up the
debris and vii, reach the chamber where
the HungariarS were at work In a few
hours. A Hungarian boarding house keeper
says the missing me get out of the mine
alive, as he saw them in a saloon at mid
night.
Cause of the Explosion.
The question as to which one of the I'M
fortunate party of engineers set the gas
afire will never be known, as of the four
men who entered the abandoned workings
where the gas was encountered not one
lives to tell the tale. The general suppo-
stion is that one of the engineers became
careless in the presence of a newly discov-
cred body of gas and instead of adopting
the precaution of lowering his light by
STOPPING, he walked into the gas in an.
erect position, thereby setting it on fire and
causing the awful explosion.
The heroic work of the rescuers Is highly
commended on all sides. They had great
difficulties to contend with, but they ex-
crted every effort to reach the imprisoned
men. The air was heavy and foul with af-
ter damp. and brattices had to be erected
to maintain the current of air. Even with
this help, the rescuers could work only a
few minutes at a time. There were plenty
of willing hands and hearts. however, and
as fast as one shift became exhausted an
other was ready to take it's place. The
work of rescue was under the direction of
Superintendent George Jones and Foreman
Thomas Samuels
Superintendent Chase says the explosion
did not cause much damage to the mine, as
was at first thought.

Judgment against the road was obtained
here, the court instructing the jury that If
they found that the proceedings in North

that the administrator, there acted in the
interest of the railroad company and not
