oYTERMEN FIGHTING AGAIN.
Tongerss Boat Riddied and Sunk by
a Riparian Owner.

Especial to sThe Jersey City News.
BRIDGETON, Dec. "a, 1S97.-Shots have
at last been fired on the disputed oyster
| grounds at Fortescue and the war be-
tween the tongers and the riparian own
ers has reached an interesting crisis.
Further trouble, and, perhaps, bloodshed,
may come as a result. Oliver s. Candy,
one of the holders Of riparian
rights, saw some tongers at work on the
beds he claims. and arming himself with
his 16-shot rifle, which is almost as for
midable as an army field-piece, he. pulled
out to the scene of operations. There
he saw Captain Richard Robbins and
other tongers working on his oysters
and filing their boats Pulling to with
in a few yards of Captain Robbins. Candy
commanded
Drop those oysters and leave these
grounds or I'll fill your blankety blank
boat so full of holes tina she won't be
fit for a sieve! You thieving rascal, I'll
give 0 just five minutes!'
Instead of needing the command Rob-
bins sat down on the centre-load well of
his craft, folded his arms across his ex-
pansive bosom and replied
I'll be double blanked if / throw away
these oysters. | have a right to them,
and you may shoot and be blanked!"
Candy did not wait for the five min
utes of grace to expire, but raised his
formidable weapon and ordering two
other boats to clear the way he let drive
at Robbins craft. Four shots followed
in quick succession, and all took effect.
As Robbins boat began to fill Candy
pulled away and returned to his home.
Robbins summoned the other tongers to
his assistance, and he was taken from
his sinking boat. He promptly came to
Bridgeton and swore out a warrant for
Gandy's arrest. The latter was brought
here last night and Justice of the
Peace Nichols held him under $1,000
bail to answer a charge of assault. He
admitted the shooting and said he would
do the same thing again If necessary.
Candy was also charged with having dy-
Mantle in his possession, contrary to
the law of the State. He said he had
dynamite and proposed to use it. This
afternoon Candy caused the arrest of
Robbins on a charge of stealing his
oysters. Robbins gave bail for his APP
pearance. There are now a score or
more cases growing out of the oyster
troubles which the January court will be
called upon to dispose of, and the deepest
interest is centered in them.

A MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone!
The La,e., Custom House outrage.

The latest form of protection con-
templated by our paternal government IS
the establishment of a dead line on the
piers where ocean steamships arrive. Inc
friends and relatives of the new arrivals
are to be kept on the cold outside, Wnlle
the passengers are kept in corral unth
the inuuisition by the custom house ON
GERS is completed.
These official gentry complain grievousiy
of the annoyance and delay when the
present system causes. Arriving passen-
gers and their friends have a bad haoi'
of kissing and hugging when they meet
and this is particularly ob~jectionapie 10
the gentlemanly inspectors, who, not
being in a position to do any kissias
themselves, naturally suffer in their 1eei-
fngs by the indulgence of other people.
Possibly. in their ZEAL, they consider 1t an
outrage tina imported kisses should tnus
be placed in competition with the 40
mestic article, before they have run the
uSual &dll0L O1
Now it will seem to anyone VINO mas
witnessed the arrival of an ocean steam
shin that there is a considerable period
between the landing of the passengers
and that at which the inspection OF pag-
gage can begin. While the passengers
are coming down one gangplank, the bag
gage Is landed from another, but It is
always nearly half an hour or SO before
any passenger can get his packages to-
gether so as to nave them examined. This
interval is the great kissing and hugging
time, and 1t takes the lordly imagination
of a well paid, little worked tide waiter
to concoet the notion that the puphc
service is in any way affected by it.
Perhaps, however, according to the
gospel of Mr.. Dingley, nothing is bad
enough for an American who goes
abroad. We would therefore suggest that
a few additional outrages and indignities
be inflicted upon all who venture to come
back from European travel. For instance,
they might be stripped and searched be-
fore being released from the piers. They
might be required to take disinfectant
baths. Or would it be a good idea to con-
fine them in a penitentiary breaking
stones or picking oakum, according to
sex, before being turned over to their
friends.
An American citizen has no personal
rights which his government or its tenth
rate employees are bound to respect. Let
him be made feel that he is a worm.
