SHOT BY AN OYSTER GUARD.
a Young Clam Digger Killed in
fuckerton Bay, n. j.


TOMS RIVER, n. J., June 22.-As a re-
suit of the long contention between the
oyster planters and the diggers of Tuck
erton Bay. Caleb Fithian. OF Parkertown
lies dead in his fathers little home, while
aged Jacob Stiles is confined in the coun-
ty jail at this place, accused of murder
Young Fithian was only twenty-one years
old. Stiles was a watchman employed by
the oyster planters of Tuckerton.
The oystermen have "staked" off large
portions of the bay and the clam diggers
claim the right to take clans wherever
they can find them. even on the oyster
beds Yesterday morning Caleb Fithian
and eight or ten other Parkertown lads
were off the meadows in Parkertcwn
Cove, raIdng CLAIMS on oyster beds. Stiles
was sailing around among them in his
sneak box and once warned one of the
men, not Fithian, to keep off the oyster
lots He then returned to his shanty on
the meadows.
Fithian separated a little from his COM
panions. and went over to Stiles own
oyster let. He had put his rake over
board, but had not yet brought it to the
surface when Stiles, who had come out
again in his sneak box" sailed around
Fithian's garvey, and as ne went about
raised his double-barreled gun and put a
charge of No. shot into Fithian at a
distance OF about twenty feet.
Then Stiles, so It is alleged, raised his
gun a second time, took deliberate aim,
and the load struck the boy fun in the
face. He died In a few minutes. His
slayer gave himself up.
Stiles is an active member of the Meth
odist Church, and is brother of the Rev.
Jesse Stiles. of the New Jersey Confer
ence. He admits the killing was deliber-
ate, so it is said, but asserts that it was
his duty to kill and that he did his duty.

In the Molineux trial there were experts in

could see these experts threw no light on the

CARTER H. HARRISON.
LET 100000 LUTZENKIRCHEN 90.

Henry LutZenkirchen, the hOodoO OF
the present city administration, must
go.
His side deals. such as the notorious
gravel contract, have called down upon
him the severest criticism from the pub.
lie, and this is bound ultimately TO re.
feet injuriously upon the adm!nistra-
ton with which he Is connected.
LutZenkirchen is a political parvenu
on n small scale. He has, according Ia
himself, managed to accumulate con
siderable wealth. He Is not only rich
as he asserts, but he boasts about the
easy and rapid manner in which h,
acquired his wealth.
From the position of an humble type
writer In the Democratic headquarters
he has suddenly jumped in wealth and
Incidentally, arrogance.
Lutzenkirchen has an interest In gold
mines, he says; he asserts that he
makes $3.50 day in oats" and II is
alleged that he has many friends among
city contractors. On top Of all this
comes the well-founded report thai
Lutzenkirchen is now deeply interested
in a new kind Of pavement, known as
creosoted cedar blocks.
Now, this young but ambitious and
enteFprising individual occupies the po-
slt!on Of Secretary to the Department
OF Public Works.
He may have NapoleOnic IDEAS as 10
the proper methods to adopt in the get

conviction and belief Of The Eagle that
