which Logan reached the summit Of his

No Regrets Expressed by Harry Munyan
at His Deed.

No Regrets Expressed by Harry Munyan
at His Deed.
When Harry Munyan was taken away
Monday by Constable Thompson, he
expressed no regrets at the deed he had
done at Medford. Although a serious
charge overhangs him, he thinks he was
justified in his actions.
Munyan, of course, was not justified in
the course he took, and perhaps has
several years of prison life staring him
in the face, but he says he was so angry
that it is wonder he did not shoot the
cashier. He said he went in the store
several times after his money. and was
refused time after time. On the day in
question he went in and asked for fifteen
dollars. 1t was refused him again, He
was angry and went home and procured
gun. Going back he levelled the
weapon at the cashier head and told him
to produce, which he accordingly did.
Harry seemed perfectly resigned to
whatever fate befell him.

BIvALvE, Nov. SOL. M. Lee. who

Will be made one week from to-day. Mr..
Lee will remain at the store until the
first OF the year, when, it is reported, he
will go to Philadelphia permanently.
Capt. Bacon will give up his sea-farine
life and take personal charge of his busi-
ness here. He is a popular gentleman
and will be warmly welcomed on the
wharves.
The oyster business is dull. There are
plenty of oysters, but they were planted
small and are not large. Many thous-
ands will be left over for another year,
when, if they come out fat, they will find
ready market. Just now the demand
is light Prices are all right, but the
shippers don't get many orders. One of
the principal causes of this is that New
York oysters are of an unusually
fine quality. The Long Island product
cannot be excelled this year, and they
are preferred in New York to our Maur-
ice River Coves. They are also being
shipped in our markets that are usually
supplied from here.
