OYSTER SHIPPING WAR,
A Boycott of the Central Railroad by BIZ
valve Shippers.

| A Boycott of the Central Railroad by BIZ
valve Shippers.
The oyster shipping war at Bivalve has
| resulted in virtual boycott of the Cen
| tral Railroad. The oyster shippers
| chartered tug last Saturday to haul
their oyster floats across the river, and
they ship from that side now over the
West Jersey Railroad. Last week they
had been using the tug Maurice" for
this purpose.
There are twenty-one oyster shippers
at Bivalve, and all but three of them
have deserted the Central road and ship
by the West Jersey So the committee
of the shippers report.
The trouble grows out of two causes;
the Central took to weighing the sacks of
oysters, and carried them for 12c hun
dred pounds, actual weight, and because
the shippers would not load the oysters
on board the cars, the railroad company
refused to give them passes.
The company however, reduced the
rate to 10c per 100 lbs, on conditions that
the shippers load the oysters.
This they still refuse to do, and have
hired the tug to transport their oysters to
the other side. The freight ON the West
Jersey is at the same rate 10c per 100 lbs.
The shipping of oysters is quite remun-
erative; and it is estimated that the Cen
tral road will lose $4,000 to $4,000 this
fall, by this action of the shippers.
Several meetings have been held by the
oyster shippers committee and the rail
road officials, but they could not effect an
agreement.
The freight on oysters shipped from
Bivalve some times amounts to as high
| as $500 per day

After Many Years.

Nine years ago George Jones, colored,
of Quinton, Salem county, left home with
several horses to sell in Philadelphia.
He told his wife that he would return in
a day or two, but she never saw him until
Monday morning. Mrs. Jones, believing
her husband dead, three years ago mar
ried Enrich Pierce, and they have had
two children. Jones gives no explana-
ton of his conduct, but says he has been
working in Connecticut.

Deserved More Than he Got.

ELMER, Sept. 13.-Wm. Brooks, aged
about 25 years, was arrested last night
and taken before Mayor Packard, on a
charge of being disorderly. He pleaded
guilty and was fined $40 and costs. The
arrest was the result of dastardly affair
occurring on Main street the previous
evening, when Brooks, who is married
man, followed Miss Lizzie Kelley, an in
offensive young lady, and accosted her.
She told him that she did not want to
talk to him and asked him to go away,
whereupon he slapped her in the face.
Albert Wilsee saw the occurance and
fastened to the spot, when Brooks, with
out provocation, struck Wilsee singing
blow in the mouth, and then, following
Miss Kelley, struck her blow with his
first on the neck and jaw.
The injured girl ran home, crying, and
told her brother, who went out on the
street and met Brooks, who pulled off his
coat and sailed into Kelley, who is much
smaller than Brooks. Kelley, however,
defended himself, and punished Brooks
severely besides. Both Wilsee and Miss
Kelley went before the Mayor to get out
warrants for assalt and battery, but learn
ing that under that charge they would
have to attend the county courts, the
charge was modified to one coming with
in the Mayors power to hear and decide.
Brooks is supposed to have been in
liquor when he assaulted Miss Kelley.

The Mount Lebanon Shakers recently
performed great deed of charity, al
though it was not designed as charity,
being nothing more or less than an ad
vertising scheme. They gave away 1000
bottles of their Digestive Cordial to those
suffering from stomach arrangements.
1t was so effective in curing those who
used their remedy that they were loud in
their praises of it and in consequence a
large demand for the cordial was at once
created.
The druggists of this town have little
books that tell all about it. Digestive
Cordial creates an appetite, aids digestion
and brings about a rapid increase i'll flesh
and strength.

The Lutheran Harvest Home.

This annual occasion was celebrated
IN the Lutheran church last Sunday
with beautifully decorated church,
an interesting program in the Sunday
School largely rendered by the little
folks and the Holy Communion. 1t
was fair day and the congregations
were large, filling church and lecture
room. In the Sunday School pillar
had been assigned to different indi-
viduals to decorate and each used
his or her own judgment. All we're
very handsome. The altar was ar
ranged by two others and the chande-
liers by others still, so that the S. S.
room looked like a well kept garden.
The flower committee of the c. f.
had charge of the decorations up
stairs and constructed large pyramid
OF fruits and grains out of which
cross arose covered with grapes. The
whole formed very pretty back
ground for the communion table covered
with its snow white linen. Seven
persons united with the church in the
morning. In the evening the Pastor
preached a Harvest Home Sermon
on the text "Thou crownest the year
with thy goodness" The choir render
ed some choice music.

482, is to the same point. Walker ].
there held, in relation to the removal
Of a county seat, as follows 1t is
urged that the Court below had no
jurisdiction to entertain the bill. 1t
is no doubt true that Court Of
Equity will never interfere to deter
mine which of two persons has been
elected to an Office or to try the rights
of parties to hold an office.
In such cases the law has afforded
adequate and appropriate remedies.
Still this is not contested election.
1t is to determine whether citizens of
county have legal right to transact
public business. 1t is true it may IN.
cidentally involve the question whether
the vote has been fairly taken and if
fraud has been committed, to purge
the polls. AS the Constitution and
the law have failed to afford specific
remedy to prevent this provision from
being defeated it is eminently proper
that equity should afford the requisite
relief in such cases.

to the interest. She is a student at
the Boston Conservatory and gives
promise of being an accomplished
singer.

THE TOWN
ELECTION
Injunction Case.
OPINION OF THE COURT.
DEMURRER TO PLAINTIFFS BILL.

DEMURRER TO PLAINTIFFS BILL.
The bill of complaint in this case,
filed by citizen and taxpayer of the
Town Of Bloomsburg on behalf of
himself and others, taxpayers and citi-
zens of said town assails an ordinance
of the Town Council passed May the
2Ist. 1895 as unlawful and invalid,
and demands that the Council be en-
joined from carrying it into execution,
and that the election officers of the
Town be also enjoined from holding
the election provided by said Or
dinance.
That ordinance provides for in
creasing the bonded debt of the Town
by the amount of $40, 500. 90 in addi-
ton to the existing bonded debt of
the Town, the principal of which is
$3194o.oo and for obtaining the as
sent of the electors of the town there
to at public election.
This increase of bonded debt Is to
be used as follows:
Ist. To fund floating debt of the
town in the form of town orders to
the amount of SI2,5oo.oo.
end. To pay an existing judgment
for tort against the town, with costs
and expenses already incurred.
amounting to about 100000.
3rd. To establish plant for the
lighting by electricity of the streets of
said town, and
4th. To pay the damages, costs
and expenses for opening Jefferson
and North Streets in said town, in
part already incurred and in part to
be incurred hereafter.
The 3rd and 4th items are unde.
fined IL their respective amounts, but
are assumed to cover the remaining
amount of the proposed $40, 10000 Of
increased bonded debt.
The last assessed valuation of tax
able property in the town of Blooms.
burg was $s,a3Y,6a4.oo, upon which
the permissible amount of town in
debtedness at per cent. would
amount to $4A79a.oo, being in excess
OF the principal of the present bonded
debt $6,S5a.oo.
1t will be seen that of the total in.
crease of bonded debt of $40, 800. 90,
$I9,5oo.oo, are to be appropriated to
the funding of existing debt for town
orders, and the Ringrose judgment
and expenses. In other words to
change an existing debt, to that
amount, from a floating to funded
form, leaving only $aI,3oo.oo, as pro-
perly belonging to the proposed in.
crease of town debt for the underlined
electric light outlay, and for past and
future expenses in the opening OF
Jefferson and North Streets.
And it is provided in the ordinance
and notice to the electors of the town,
published in pursuance of the ordi-
nance, that single vote of assent, or
dissent, shall be given by the electors
to this entire project of bond issue by
the town.
The action of the Council is pro.
fessedly taken under authority of the
9th Sec. of the 9th Article of the
State Constitution and the provisions
of the Act of Assembly of the 2oth of
April 1874. P. l.. 65, and the supple
ment thereto passed the 9th day of
