THAT sPECK OF TROUBLE.
The Arrest of the Three Maryland
Crabbers.

Steamer Chesapeake, June Is, 1895.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
have Just read your editorial In THURS
DAYS naper. headed "a Speck OF
Trouble" 1 have just returned from
Pocomoke sound, and II may be interest,"
ing TO your readers 10 know that on
Yesterday the Maryland police steamer
Governor Thomas, Captain Turner com
handing. came down to POcomoke sound
with State Senator Dryden and others on
hoard to investigate the arrest OF three
Marylanders By the Virginia authorities
for grabbing i'm Virginia waters. captain
w. T.. Hudgins, Of the steamer Chesa-
peake. met the Maryland steamer IN
Pocomoke sound near the line, and had
an interview with Captain Turner ana
Senator Dryden. They were told that the
Mary.anders were I'm Virginia waters, ana
were shown on the chart where they
we're arrested. which was at least one
half of a mile from thu boundary line
between Maryland and Virginia, IN the
Virginia waters.
1T WAS PLEASANT.
The interview was decidedly pleasant
and friendly. The Governor OF Maryland
had received numerous complaints about
the Virginia police boats arresting and
Captain Hudgins and Captain Thomas
Of the schooner Pocomoke, assured the
Maryland gentlemen that no arrest had
been made in Maryland waters, and no
firing had been done. except in Virginia
waters, and then only when the offenders
were making their escape from capture.
Captain Hudgins very properly suggested
that Maryland had declined to adopt the
reciprocity act adopted by the Viz
gnia Legislature in March, 1894. and If
she had, then Virginia boats could pursue
offenders In Maryland waters and vice
versa, and capture without firing at all.
A GOOD RETORT.
The Maryland gentlemen said they OBJ
jected to so much promiscuous firing on
Marylanders.
Captain Hudgins said. then let the
Marylanders stop violating Virginia laws.
The interview closed In the most friendly
way. Fortunately. Captain W. T.. Hud-
gins, commander OF the Virginia police
navy. was over in Pocomoke sound when
the Maryland steamer came down.
All persons living in Maryland and Nir-
ginia, near the boundary line between
the States, know the line as we'll as they
known anything. but they offer as an
excuse. that the line Is not buoyed up.
Well. perhaps the line IS not sufficiently
buoyed, but as 20 these last arrests. there
can be no doubt about their having been
I'm Virginia waters. and the men are now
In Accomac county jail awaiting trial.

ELDERSBURG ITEMS.
A Race for Postmaster by Two Merchants
Hurt by An Explosion Items.

Our little town scarcely recovered from the
excitement of the election, ere another was
upon us viz, contestants for the post Office.
Two of our prominent merchants, and both
good Republicans. Messrs. John Reed and
to be seen who the successful one will be.
Both are actively engaged, getting signers on
their petitions and influential friends working
for them.
One of the most serious questions with our
inhabitants at present, is where will we get
water? As a result of the long continued
drought the wells of the town are nearly
dry, and some are, so we are hoping soon for
copious showers to replenish them.
Pearce C.. Prugh, son of George NJ. Prugh,
met with painful accident on Friday of last
week. He was blowing up a locust stump
with dynamite caps, and after inserting one
he failed to get as far away as he should, and
in exploding, it struck him on the forehead
above the eye, cutting an ugly cash, and he
lay as one dead comparatively for two hours.
Dr. II. c. Shipley was Immediately called in
and finally brought about reaction, and dressed
the wound At this writing Mr.. Prugh is
getting along very nicely, and his many
friends hope soon to see him in their midst
again. He is popular young man and much
sympathy is expressed both for himself and
his parents.
The protracted meeting at Freedom NJ. E.
Church South commenced last Sunday night.
