Commonwealth vs.. Melvin.

Our county court has been engaged
for several days this week in hearing
the case of the Commonwealth VS..
VIM. E. Melvin, for trespass on an
oyster rock claimed by Mr.. Ralph
Burroughs as his private property
the claim of the defense being that
ordinary low water is between the
shore and said rock, and that it is
therefore public rock. Scores Of
witnesses were heard for and against
the claims of both and the case, after
argument by w. Ct. Blackstone
and B. T. Gunter, Jr., for Common
wealth, and n. B. Wescott for the
defense, was submitted on Thursday

press no decision in the matter had
been reached by the jury.

Letters From ihe People.

EDITOR ENTRRPRISE-We beg leave
to report through your columns dep
relations on our oyster beds in POGO
.noke Sound in spite of the fact that
.e have brave police captains, the
fast steam launch Accomack and the
Upper sail vessel Pocomoke ito Epro
tect them.
We submit for the information
of your readers, and especially
those who believe that the Pocomoke
Sound is protected and that our
police force attends to is duties, the
following times and places when
Maryland oyster thieves were seen
dredging in that sound:
On the 9Th of January, 1896, there
were three boats dredging on Ledge
rock-but neither of the police boats
were to be seen.
On the 9th of January, 1896, two
boats were dredging on Dog fish
rock-and no police boat on duty.
On the 10Th day of January, 1896,
three boats dredged on the Middle
ground rock-and no police boat on
duty that day.
On the odd day of January seven
boats started to dredge on Ledge
rock. Captain Thomas saw them and
fired a cannon. They left and so did
CAPTAIN Thomas for Messongo, for
fear he would not get in harbor be
fore night. Capt. Thomas did not
return, but the seven boats did and
went to work.
On the 9th of January six boats
we're seen dredging on Ledge rock
and one on Middle-g ground rock-the
sail boat Pocomoke was lying to her
anchor in Messongo part OF the day
The steamer Accomack is hardly ever
seen in the part of the sound where
she is most needed.
We beg leave to submit further
we can prove that there are more
violations of the dredging law going
on now than there have been for two
years and we, the oystermen, do hope
and pray that these police captains
will perform their duties better in
the future, or that if they are tired
that they will get out and let some
one get in, who will attend to the
duties expected Of them.
The facts given above will be
vouched for by eight oystermen
whose names are given on paper sent
to the ENTERPRISE for publication

MIR. EDIToR:-Please give Inc space
in your paper to make public &C
knowl, dgement of my gratitude to
the people of my charge for their
kindness to me, their pastor. l have
been living, during the year, under
the tree that is planted by the riv
ers of waters, that bringeth forth his
fruit in his season." All through the
year have enjoyed the occasional
dropppiugs of his fruit; and a short
time ago there was good shake of it
at Berea, and last Monday evening
mighty shake at Atlantic, which
brought the fruit pounding down, Il
rich harvest for the gathering. a
rootless Christmas tree-mark you
now a literal tree this time-bore for
me five dollar bill, wrapped in mys-
tery-a piece of paper with "a well
wishern marked on it. This. was
mysterious per se;;n but not marvel
Gus for the community or for the in
dividual. G.. D. EDMoNsToN.

Mr.. EDITOR


In the last Eastern Shore Metho-
dist, the Presiding Elder, in reporting
Atlantic Circuit. makes this remark:
ut is proper and due to say here
that Bro. Watson's return to the
circuit was greeted with joy by his
parishioners. l reckon this must be
so; for, since conference, my Down
ing's people have been very kind.
Frequently contributions have found
their way to the parsonage-a turkey
from one sister, chickens from an
other, turkey from third, a goose
from a fourth, rolls of sausage, but
ter, fresh meat, preserves, vegeta-
bles, etc, from others; then a barrel
of flour from several at Jenkins
Bridge.
But last Friday night there was an
overflow" at the parsonage. Here
they came,n headed by the Sunday
school superintendent and another
steward; people of different denomi
nations and of none, young and old,
little and big, male and female-well,
they Just took possession. We sur
rendered-whate else could we do, in
the presence of not less than three
fourths of hundred people, armed
with packages, sacks and baskets =?
had not thought that the parsonage
would hold so many; and yet they
all seemed happy; and, strange as it
may appear, the parties attacked
were as happy as any, for all the
strokes they received were 'love
ticks" The Lord bless all the dear
friends, and reward them a thousand
fold.
Unlike Bro. GrifIith's experience,
we had no marriages; but there is no
telling what may be the result of so
many eligible young men and maid
ems being associated so long and so
pleasantly. l heard one young man
remark playfully that he had his
marriage contract. Maybe next time
he comes he will bring his license.
So mote it be.

ed the immense building was packed
to suaocation. There were in it over
5000 people, and In addition to these
there were from $4,000 to 10000 9th
ers outside, and who could not gain
admission.
When Mr.. Bryan appeared ON the
platform the people began to cheer and
kept it up for more than six minutes.
The noise was simply deafening, and
the enthusiasm was sufficient to move
even the most bitter opponents of the
Chicago platform. Mr.. Bryan made
several unsuccessful attempts to COM
mence. The people were so wild with
enthusiasm that it seemed that they
broke out again each time the great
apostle of free silver arose to his feet.
It was only after the vast throng had
howled itself hoarse, that quiet was
restored.
But after Mr.. Bryan got started, the
situation was different. Except for
the sound of the speakers voice, the
dropping of a pin could he heard in
any part of the hall. Mr.. Bryan spoke
for nearly two hours, during which
time he explained and defended every
part Of the Chicago platform upon
which there had been criticism. His
argument, was clear, logical, eloquent
and convincing. He seem to wiped
away like cobwebs every apparently
reasonable objection that has ever been
raised. When he concluded, the vast
audience went wild again, and it was
the universal opinion that the effect OF
great speech will be irresistible.
Mr.. Bryan's speech will fill about
two and a half pages of THE EN-
oUIRER. We find that to give it in
this issue is impracticable, and no
condensation of it can be at all satis-
factory. 1t is our desire to publish it
in full in our next issue, and we are
now trying to make arrangements to
that end. Whether or not we will be
successful, we are hardly in a position
to say at this writing.
