Guests Of Allen H. Ainscows $ cafe have
been remarking upon the excellence of his
oysters for the past two weeks.
In view of the fact that the season now
opens and Of the popular interest in the
luscious bivalve,' Mr.. Ainsoow was in.
terviewed by DAILY REPUBLICAN re-
porter this morning. He says it is great
business.
Millions of dollars of capital, and hun
dreds of thousands of men in the United
States, arc employed on account of oysters
New York City alone employs three-mil-
lion dollars, and ffty-thousand men.
Mr. Ainscow has lately been serving
wholesale and retail Cape Shore" oysters.
But September 1st hundreds Of drcdges
are cast in Maurice River Cove, and Will
mington takes vessel cargoes rs her share
of I'll" products, which promise to bo unus-
ually excellent this season. The first ar
rivals will be September 2.
Mr. Ainscow says oysters arc good all
the year ronnd if served in good condition,
and in hot weather also. The "R' rule
is an out of date superstition.
Oysters without spawn can be obtained
at all times of the year, because they
spawn in different localities and condi.
tons at different times. Some people like
them in spawn.
He sells fifteen to twenty different kinds
in a year, taking them from the several
localities when they are not in spawn and
ore in the best condition
Some Of the most popular kinds arc
the Maurice River Cove, Cape May, Abse-
com, Shrewsbury, evidence River, Blue
Points, rangiers Pocomoke, Chinco.
league Franklin City, Horntown, Cherry.
stone, Lynnhaven Bay, York River, Rap
pahannock, ct al.
Mr.. Frank Slack, the steward at No III
Shiplcy street, says an oyster in spawn Is
puifcd up (called fat) whtish and when it
is cut milk will run out.
He says the origin of Saddle Rocks was
the discovery of very large oysters when
vessel had lost its cargo and that Mr.
Joseph fullmcr sold them in Wilmington
TIL they were all gone.

MR.. BRYAN AT CLEVELAND.


CLEVELAND, Sept. l.-Candidate Bryan
has been the object Of no other demonstra-
tion so vociferous and so spectacular as
that which the city of Cleveland gave him
last night, and nowhere else, with the pos
sible exception of New York, have so many
people attempted to hear him talk. Two
great meetings listened to Mr.. Bryan, the
first in the Central armory, where 5000
people were packed; the second in Music
Hall, which had 5000, and afterwards he
spoke to several thousand from the bal
cony Of the Hollenden hotel Bands and
marching campaign clubs were numerous
about the Streets and with thousands Of
strangers in its gates tho city bore a holi-
day aspect.
Special trains brought out of town clubs
In during the afternoon, 500 coming from
Canton, two trains came from Akron and
Others from Lorain, Cuyahoga and other
Ohio and Pennsylvania points. For two
or three squares the streets about the depot
were thronged when the cannon an
nounced the arrival Of the trnin on which
tho candidate came. There was parade
to escort him to the hotel and another
after dinner from the hotel to the Armory.
The Armory doors were thrown open at
o'clock, and In fifteen minutes after every
foot Of space was filled to the doors. Not
only were the aisles jammed, but mon
were clinging on window sllls high up and
hanging in all sorts of impossible places.
In both of the Cleveland halls, as In most
of the other cities where Mr.. Bryan has
spoken, the police arrangements were
utterly Inadequate The crowding last

lieutenant and son.in.law, Carl Browne.

AT TER HENKE'S
MURDERERS.
Discovered at Indian Mills, New
Jersey.
HIOING NOW IN JERSEY PINES.


An Armed Band Accompanied by Blood
Hounds Searching the Swamp Which
Has Hidden so Many Desperadoes.
MOUNT HOLLY, N. j., August 3l.-The
murderers of John Henke Of Burlington,
have been located by the police, who are
hot on their track, and may effect their
capture at any time. There Is good reason
to believe that Cromwell ono of the mur.
derers, has a bullet in his leg, as he was
seen to fall yesterday after three shots
were fired ut him by u pursuing party.
For several days tho officers have been
hunting for Cromwell and his partner in
the Shamong woods as ho lived in that
section about two years ago.
The people OF that section have but
little communication with the outside
world, and pay but little attention to
strangers, especially at this time Of the
year, when the cranberry pickers begin TO
arrive from all sections Of the country.
But some Of them know Cromwell and yes
terday party of men saw him in com.
pany with two other colored men in the
vicinity OF Indian Mills. AS soon as they
were discovered, all three men broke into
arun down an old Toad:s leading through
the woods. Some Of the searching party
followed the trail, while Others went post
haste to Indian Mills to notify Constable
Theodore Miller. The latter quickly
gathered few men together and started
off In wagon after the fugitives.
About three miles below they suddenly
came upon them i'll u little clearing in the
woods, Il short distance from the main
road to the scashore, The negroes were
evidently taken by surprise, and stood for
a moment looking at their pursuers. Mil
Ter ordered them to surrender, whereupun
all three turned and ran like deers through
the woods. In an instant Miller drew his
revolver and fired three shots at CromwellI
one Of which must have taken effect, as
he fell to the ground and held his leg, AS
If in pain; but tho next moment he was
up and away again.
The chase was kept up until dark, when
the fugitivcs were seen to enter the Long
swamp when they were soon lost to view.
In their flight they dropped their coats and
hats, which We're recovered and handed
over to Prosecutor Budd who took them
to Burlington this morning for identified.

There was some figuring of material
what the building would and did take by
the contracts. Their lumber bill ran
several hundred dollars over the estimate,
also the sash work, which was no fault Of
the parties furnishing the material, but
ofthe contracts themselves
Every subcontractor lost money on his
contract for material furnished this school
building as much as from 7 to 10 per cent
of the price of the material, that they fur
nished that entered into its construction.
The building has been put up In a first
class manner,t the material and workman
ship being of the best. To the superinten-
dent, Mr.. Edwin Talley, the Board Of Edu.
cation is indebted TO getting their moneys
worth. 1t certainly pays for the Board Of
Education to have u capable man to look
after the interest of the tax payers. The
several schools erected in the last few years
have been put up IN a manner that they
are credit to tho School Board and the
city.
The contractors Clark g. Wood we do
not think care about taking another con.
tract as low as they tackled this one, but
they have given the Board first class job
in every respect. The only thing Is that
our merchants should be so unfortunate
as to lose money In filling their contracts.
Greater care should have been exercised
in bidding and not so much guess work
donein bidding on such IA large contract.
