oYsTBRMEE AGAINST RAILROADS
SpeciaI to the Jersey City NeWs

SpeciaJ to the Jersey City NeUS.
BRIDGETON, Aug. 20. 18s5.-There Is
war between the oyster shippers OF BIZ
valve and the West Jersey, the Reading
and the Central Railroad Companies. The
shippers are now talking of putting on a
line of steamboats, between Port Norris
and Philadelphia to carry their freight
daily during the coming season, beginning
September. A conference between a
committee of the shippers and repre-
sentatives of the railroad companies last
week failed to come to an agreement,
and the shippers will hold a mass meet
ing at Bivalve at 11.30 tomorrow morn
ing to consider the project.
The shippers freight during the season
amount to between 1890 and $1,400 per
day. They say not only have the
railroad companies taken their passes
away but forced them to load their sacks
of oysters on the cars themselves, thus
entailing an expense to them of $4,000 for
help during the past season: The com
panies offered to restore their passes as
far as Winslow Junction, but this was
not acceptable. Their strongest objection
was in regard to the loading of the sacks
"A line of steamboats, now looks very
much like a probability.

For the early crop plant the seed in

main crop are grown by sowing seed in
drills six to twelve inches par in the

work. The seed should receive but a
very slight covering of earth, and the
soil must be well firmed by means of the
roller or otherwise.
We set the plants in very rich soil six

v BY THE VIOLIN.
It Was an Obedient IA
the Poor Old Darkeyss Hands

Several nights ago as Patrolman Chas.
Rommel was patrolling his peal ne ols-
covered an old darkey walking down the
street with a violin under his arm. 8hen
he a gotten ever with him he stopped
him and began questioning him. Ihe
policeman was not satisfied with the me-
gro's account of where he had gotten
the instrument and placed him under ar
rest. The negro went on without a word,
ana at the station house gave his name
as James McClosky.
The next day he was presented before
Judge Smith. The policeman told the
Judge how he had seen the negro on the
street with the instrument and he said
that he did not believe it belonged to
him. 1t was a fine violin, he said, and a
negro that had no more money than this
negro could not afford to buy
such a fine instrument. The police
man finally asked the Judge to give him
two days to look for the owner OF the
violin, saying that he believed in that
time he could be able to locate its owner.
The time was granted him and negro
was held over.
Yesterday he was again presented be,
fore the court. Those against him tried
that the violin was worth considerably
over $40. The violin was worth $40 or
perhaps $50. During the course of the
trial the policeman told the Judge that
the negro had admitted to him that he
could not play on the instrument, and
that was one reason Why he MADE the
arrest. as he knew that a man would not
pay a large sum for a thing he could not
use. Up to this time the prisoner had
remained silent. He had sat with down
cast eyes and did not seem to hear what
was going on. When he heard this he
suddenly looked up and said: ,.
Hes mistaken, your Honor; / didn't
say that | couldn't play on the violin"
The Judge remained silent for a mo

the negro's face as he took the nStru-
ment into his hands. He looked it over
carefully and then fondled it under his
arm n began to tune it. He had only
scarcely struck the first note when the
crowd in the court room began to stir
In a few moments the INSTRUMENT was
