No More Deaths.

Lowell, Mass, July 31-No further
deaths among the injured by the
magazine explosion of Wednesday in
South Lowell had occurred at the hos
pitfalls where those most seriously In
jured were taken. The condition OF
Clarendon Goodwin, so years old, who
was in charge of the United States Car
fridge company's employees at the store
houses, is most critical. He is uncon-
scious most Of the time. Mr.. Goodwin
is the man who endeavored to remedy
a leakage of nitroglycerin, and whose
act in pouring nitric acid in mistake for
water on the leakage is thought to
have caused the explosion.
Allowing for possible deaths among
those injured, it is not anticipated that
the death list will exceed rs.

menting the scarcity Of the biyalyes on
that market. So far Gs Virginia Il con
cerned the matter is easily eSplsined.
The General Assembly last April passec
a statute amending the law as to th'
closed season for taking oysters. Here If
the way the amended section reads;
chapter 40 lapproved April ~
1909: Limitation ~ To the time oi

tongs.-lIeresfter it shall not be lawfnl
for any person 10 take or catch OYSTER

other way, from the fret day OF April IN
ill the 10Th day OF September, OF each

or catching oysters or shells from TN
natural rocks. beds or shoals OF th'
