Judge Hoagland discharged the iurv IN,

the other jurors to be present at 10 o'clock

Court began it's business this morning

the Maurice River Cove. He had planted,

surprise when he tried the beds they
were not yielding as they should. There,
should have been )me 400 baskets. The
suspicious of Candy were aroused and he
watched. He found that boat, No. 232

made several attempts to get TO the boat.
but only finally succeeded by a ruse in
going in small boat to the grounds. On.
the Sth of June he caught this vessel, No..

wards Candy learned that this vessel was
owned by Ladow. When Candy went
out in the small boat he was accompan--

There was no doubt in the mind of Candy
but that tthe oysters from his beds were
being stolen by Ladow.
The contention of Candy as given in
his testimony was supported by other

Medical Men in Session..

The January meeting of the Cumber-

the Weatherby House, in Millville, on
Tuesday, Jan. 18th. There being no rou-
tine business the Society met in the after
noon, and devoted the entire time to the,
reading and discussion of papers.
DR.. Jerome Massinger read very in>-
structive paper on Drug Administra-
tion.' DR.. A. r. Judson, of Newport,
gave an interesting account of Medicine
as he found it in Colorado, based on the
experience gained by recent visit. DR..

of diphtheria treated by means of the
anti-toxine, in conjunction with the u.s.
ual measures employed, and believed he
had found beneficial.

A Third Ward Fire.

Fire broke out in the residence of Dr.
John II. Moore. corner Commerce and
Franklin streets Tuesday night about g.
O'Clock. The firemen quickly responded.
The back part of the building was con-
siderably damaged by fire and water.
The cause OF the fire was from a defective
fire place heater.
Jacob Fort, who lives back of DIR.
Moore's residence, saw fire issuing from
the house, and sent in an alarm from
Box 81.
A stream of water was put on the build
ing from plug near there, the engine
not being used. The amount of damage
done will not exceed one hundred dollars.

Covered with Dirt.

March was never more dusty or dirty
than January, 1896. The high winds catch
up the light dust and dirt and whirl it all
about everywhere, covering everything
white, and almost binding the eyes of
luckless pedestrians who are upon the
streets. Merchants cannot make any
street display of goods, and the fruit
vender is doing business within the small
enclosure in which he usually keeps
warm.

Talking Of LynchiEg.

Marshheld. Or, Feb lG-This coumu-
nifty was thrown into a fever OF excite
ment this afternoon when Carl Albright
shot his wife tn cold blood Albright has
been very cruel to his wife for a number
OF years. and his treatment became so
bitter week ago that she left him and
instituted divorce proceedings Albright
has been doing his utmost to get her TO
return. and yesterday said he would talk
no longer. but would kill her, and today,
after Mrs. Albright had returned from
doing a days washing, he made good his
threat.
Mrs. Albright had been at their home,
and was taking basket OF clothes to her
daughters, when Albright met her He
accosted her about leaving, and she re-
piled by asking him to go away and
leave her alone. but this he would not
do. He walked up to his wife. and placed
a revolver TO her back. firing five shots,
the first two taking effect. After the first
shot Mrs. Albright fell and the other four
shots were fired at her prostrate form.
After killing his wife. Albright turned
and poinetd his revolver at himself, as
II he was going to take his own life. and
then took to his heels TO get out of tn
reach of the officers. Marshal Elrod
went up to him and demanded him to
hold up his hands, but Albright only held
up one. and was in the act OF shooting at
ElrOd when the latter fired. the third
shot bringing the wife murderer to the
ground. AT first it was thought Albright
would die. but an examination found his
wounds to be only in the flesh. Two
bullets took effect, one in the right
shoulder and one in the right hip.
The feeling is very bitter against Al
bright and lynching is talked of. Mrs.
Albright bore a good reputation, ana
has made a living for both herself and
husband at the washtub. Albright is a
worthless fellow, given to the drink habit.

a New Fleet 70 BE Put IN Operation
From the East Early Next Month.

Philadelphia. Feb Is-Much surprise
Was caused IN the Maritime Exchange
yesterday when the announcement was
made that d line Of vessels will be char
tered to run from this city direct to San
Francisco, Cal The first vessel OF the
proposed line. the William O. Davis, was
chartered yesterday by Ship Brokers
simpson 6s Holdt, and will sail from tsis
port early Iext month.
Among shipping men the running OF the
new line was received with much graft
1catlon, and the impression seemed to be
that II would give Philadelphla1s
chance 20 ship goods TO the Pacific coast
without being Disseminated against as
they axe now. At present there Is no
line running from this port TO San Fran
cisco. and merchants here who ship goods
10 that point are compelled 10 send them
10 New York first. The fact that mer-
chants trading with San Francisco were
forced 10 pay these additional freight
charges has been the means OF diminish
ing the trade between these ports. New
York merchants, IL is claimed. could af-
ford TO sell merchandise in California at
much lower rate than business men IN
this city She last vessel left this port
for San Francisco In July. 1904. and since
then all goods going IN that direction
from this city were first shipped TO New
York. The firm has business enough
at present 10 keep the Davis going the

been dug, Is found to bo slack. when eN-
posed to the air. and Is interspersed with
gravel and powders. No appropriation
WAS ever made by congress to construct
these walls OF masonry. 10 feet high and
$40 feet long, now found necessary be-
tween the first and second lock, as It
was supposed rock walls of the canal
would be sufficient; we were informed
that should the locks he operated without
some protection 10 the banks of loose
rock ard howlders, they are liable to be
warltd into the culverts, and into the
gates that operate the lower lock. This
danger It Is claimed, can be overcome by
the construction OF concrete wall on
each side Of this canal, 10 feet high by $50
feet long, at an expense of from $4,000 to
COCA and afterwards lined with cut
stone masonry We were also informed
that during the floods of 1894, great
amount OF ground and filling intended to
strengthen and support the outer walls
OF the locks, had been washed away, and
unless this whole river front of 800 feet
Ia paved or riprapped with heavy rock.
It is liable by erosion during flood to
undermine and finally nh the canal with
debris.

perform this work as per report Of the
chief Of engineers, IT, s. A, July LIST, 1895,
