The Conference Herald publishes
the following: "a Baltimore man, a
Mr.. Creighton, has bought Sharp's
Island, at the mouth of the Choptank
river. for 1000. The island now COM
prises only $50 acres, although the
deed calls for 100. The missing $50
acres have been washed away by the
bay. Mr.. Creighton's purpose in buy
ing the island is to lay claim to the
missing land. and thus own the oyster
beds around the island. The law makes
the claim to oyster beds depend on the
ownership OF adjacent land. In this
case, Mr.. Creighton's title to tine
oyster beds will expire with the dis
appearance of the land, which some
say will take place within 10 years. F"

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 24.-The
new clubhouse of the Merton Cricket
Club. a. Haverford. suburb of this
city, was destroyed by fire this morn
ing. The loss is estimated at $40, 600.
The building was not competed and
had not been turned over to the club.

rapidly as possible. as the Australian
criketers are scheduled to play their
third match on the Haverford grounds
beginning October I'd and the club
hoped to have the building completed
by that date.
The fire originated in the basement,
supposedly from an electric wire.
Nearly all the furniture, which was
put in the building yesterday, was
gotten out ''
This is the second clubhouse to be
destroyed on the Haverford grounds
within a year, handsome structure
having been burned January 4th last.
