Eastern men representing the American
Distributing Company, which owns the anti
trust distfllery here, met to-day and prac-
tically decided to build another distillery.
There is said to be some trouble about
getting the desired land at figure they are
willing to pay, and some Terre Haute peo-
pie are going to raise the difference as
bonus to get the distillery. Broaden, the
ST. Louis architect. who made the plans
for the one which the distributing company
now owns here, has been in conference with
the men. There is little doubt that
the new one will be located here, as the
difference in the price of land cuts no fig
amount The chief purpose of the company
is to have it's output from one place SO far
as possible.

Mr.. j. r.. Sullivan, in going from Mar

early this morning, picked up a sh0t-bag
near the market containing S34.02. lie
walked into the market house and there
heard that Mr.. w. +. Basil, butcher,
was the unfortunate loser, and thereup-
on handed it to him. Mr.. Basil WAS
just in the act Of leaving the market in
search of his lost treasure, when Mr..
Sullivan approached him and handed
him the shot-bag and its contents in
tact. Mr.. Basil offered to pay Mr.. Sui
livan for it's return, but he declined TO
receive anything, saying that it afforded
him more pleasure to return it to the
unfortunate loser than anything he could
give him. Mr. Basil was very grateful
for its return, and was glad to know
that it had fallen into such good hands
Mr.. Sullivan says he saw the ehot-bag
lying in the street and passed by it,
thinking it was an old rag, and upon
second consideration went back u d
kicked it with his foot and finding 1t
contained money picked it up and put
it in Ills pocket and walked over to the
market house to find its owner. Mr..
Sullivan says it was at an hour Of the
morning when shuckers were going to
the oyster houses and several had passed
it by unnoticed.

A number of informal meetings of
men interested in oyster dredging were
held along Fell's Point, Baltimore, yes
terday TO discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of
petitioning Governor Brown and the
board of public works TO extend the oys-
ter season until March 81. Captains of
dredging vessels complain that while
the oyster catching season has been
shortened the license fee of SS ton
upon their vessels has not been reduced
This, 1t is said, causes them an average
loss on each vessel of 500 each season.
The cutting off of sixteen days from the
latter part of the season, they say, is
especially hard on them. In the fail
oysters will not keep more than two
weeks, it is claimed, and the catches
have To be sold ut low prices. In the
spring they will keep for several weeks.
The dredgers say that if they could catch
oysters during the whole of March they
would be able to make one more trip
down the bay.
