DIED In PARKWAY FLORlDS.
A TEMPERANCE PREACHER OF
TANGIER ISLAND WHO WRECK
ED A BARREL OF BEER.

Onancock Va, Aug News has
been received here from Florida of the
death of Robert Ayres. a former resi-
dent Of Accomac, who went TO Florida
many years ago TO engage in land
speculation Failing of success in this
scheme. Mr.. Ayres engaged largely in
the bee-culture, which he found very
profitable. Some time last mongh while
attending to his bees he was severely
stung by a large number of them. His
injuries produced blood poisoning.
which resulted in death. He was about
60 years old, and leaves a wife and sew
eral children in Florida and many rela-
tives on the Eastern Shore.
Tangier Island, in The Chesapeake
bay, is said to be stirred over sn &C.
currence that took place there several
days ago. Some of the young men re-
siding there Joined together and order
ed some beer from Baltimore to quensh
their thirst. The island as well as ghe
mainland region of Accomac is under 10
cal option. and there has always been
strong sentiment against the sale cf
intoxicating liquors. The beer was
shipped TO the island in ibctlles put up
securely in a -four barrel. It was taken
from the steamboat wharf at the south
ern end OF the island and carried in q
canoe to ,he landing near Chambers
store. Here the owners concealed II
under the cover OF sails till they could
go home and get baskets in which to
carry 1t away. Rev. G. p. Swain
pastor OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church ihare and stout Prohfbltio mist
having heard of what was goin On. took
an axe, and, going to the landing, ut
terly demolished the barrel and all its
contents. When the young men return
ed and found cut what had been done
they were very Indignant and made
threats. Il Is probable. however, tha.
they have cooled down by this time,

so DECIDED BY THE INTERIOR
DEPARTMENT AT WASHINGTON.
A dispatch from Washington says:
"An important decision, in which the
Interior Department for the first time
declares a revenue cutter to have been
part of the United Stats Navy, has been
made by the assistant secretary of the
Interior, Webster Davis, in the case of
william f. Rogers, lieutenant United
States revenue cutter Forward, a Mexi-
can war claim. The decision overrules
the action of the Pension Bureau under
the last administration and affects a
number of claims.
Rogers was pensionsd in 1887 for
service from June 80, 1916. to April 30,
1S47. his vessel having been in active
cooperation with the navy, by order of
the president, in the Mexican war; bu.
he was subsequently dropped on the
ground that he was nct legally enlisted
in the military or naval service"
The Forward was under command of
Captain Nones, of this C.y. 1t sailed
from this city. At New Orleans most of
her crew deserted her. ard Samuel
Wade, Andrew Fuhlme, and John Lund
Joined her. They came to Wilmington
on the boat and have since lived here.
Wade was the gunner en- beard the cut
ter, and it is said that with one shot

sHARk IN sTNEPUXENT BAY.

Snow Hill, Nd, Aug. 7.--Charles and
William Riley. two fishermen, had a
lively time with a shark in SlnepuXent
bay 4 day or two ago. They were haul
ing in their seine and had waded TO
their hips. bringing the ends of the
seine gradually together 50 as to form
a purse. and as they were getting ready
to pull ashore, they suddenly became
aware of the presence of a shark fully
nine feet in length They dropped the
seine and managed to get ashore. The
shark went for the seine however, and
made a hole large enough for a horse
to go through.

ANXIETY ABOUT THE ALCEDO.

The yacht Alcedo, which left Phiia-
delphia two weeks ago fer Southamp-
,.cn, was reported yesteday as having
been sighted in latitude 80, longitude
72. This would place her off the Ba-
hanna Islands, and seafaring men were
wondering yesterday what could have
induced her to go so much out Of the
course usually tlken to Southampton
When she left Philadelph a it was known
that her boiler was slightly damaged
because Of an erroron the part ofamem-
Der Of the crew in permitting he wa er
to get too low The Aioedo was built

In anticipation Of the presence of Rev.
Sam Jones' but they were well disap-
pointed, as he did not put in his APP

sary railroad connections. Mrs. Ella

A SMALL PEACH CROP.

An idea of the number of peaches
that will be hauled from the Peninsula
over the Delaware road this year can
be gotten from these facts. Heretofore
as many as 200 TO 1900 cars we're in
use or sideracked on the various sid
ings throughout the state during the
peach season. This year there are
about $50 cars available, and all these
will probably nct be needed to carry
the crop. No extra crews have been
employed and IL is likely that none will
be. The regular freight trains will
handle the whole supply.
