Police and the Mob Had a Rough
Time mt KrOnstndt.
Berlin, April 26.-The Lokal Anzeiger
has published details of the recent dis
orders at Kronstadt, Russia, which be-
gan in a brawl between troops and
marines, and during which it was said
that some officers had been killed.
The paper says the trouble developed
into a regular riot, in which 1000 per-
sons took part. The rioters tore up
paving stones and wrecked houses.
An attempt to quell the disorder with
the fire brigade failed, the fire ap-
paratus being destroyed by the in
furiated mob. Several police officers
were wounded.
Finally Admiral Lavroff, in command
of the fortress at Kronstadt, arrived
on the scene with a party of armed
men who fired blank volleys at the
rioters and restored order.

Maj. Coughs flying column. number
ing about 200 men, attacked a large
force of the enemy near Danop.
The column formed in a square and
resisted with success for several hours,

ing all their wounded with them. They
were continually attacked en- route. In
addition to thirteen men killed, includ-
ing two officers, there were twenty
eight men and four officers wounded,
Maj. Cough praises highly the con-

tiers. He recommends several men for
gallant behavior. He is now retiring

there April 2S. Supplies have been
sent to meet him.
The dispatch to the Foreign Office
from Bohotle shows that Col. Cobbe's
relief by Brig. Gen. Manning and his
retirement to Galadi was effected with
out opposition from the enemy. The
loss of about 1000 of the Mullah's
men occurred during the original at
tack on Capt. Plunketts square.

intendent of the Sunday school at Bells
Methodist Episcopal Chapel, at Bells,

of the same church, was stricken with
paralysis Sunday morning at the conclu-
sion of the meeting of the Sunday school,
over which he had presided. Mr.. Allen
was about to take part in the class meet
ing that followed, when Mr. George F..
Pyles of Anacostia, the class leader, who
was present, noticed that something ap-
peared to be the matter with the Sunday
school superintendent, who had sunk to a
chair nearby Examination disclosed the
fact that he had suffered from a stroke of
paralysis. He was assisted to a carriage
and was conveyed to his home, not far
from the church, while messenger was
dispatched for DR.. John L. Warning of Sur
rats. Before the physician arrived it
was feared that Mr.. Allen would expire as
he was practically unconscious. He rallied,
however, and became able to talk and to
move little. 1t was stated that the stroke
affected his lower body principally. The
chances for his recovery could not be
stated.

TO INVESTIGATE BooDLING.
Special Grand Jury Summoned at JEFF
ferson City, Mo.

A dispatch from Jefferson City, Mo-. yes
terdav says:
A special grand jury to inquire into
legislative boodling was impaneled today
by Judge HAZEL. In the course of his
charge to the jury Judge Hazel said:
1.-The impression widely prevails in this
state that dishonesty was practiced in GER
tain measures pending before the ligisla-
ture: that 'sand-bagging' was INDUCED in;
tain measures pending before the legisla-
tors resorted to questionable methods and
criminal acts by accepting money from
those who were financially interested in
certain legislation. 1t is further the i'm
preston that these matters have not been
probed to the bottom.
I'VE now charge you to make thor
ough investigation Of these charges against
the legislative department of our state gov
eminent. well against all bribe-giv-
ers. and IL any one is believed to be guilty,
SO to warrant conviction, you should
bring a bill of indictment against him.
No good citizen should submit tamely and
quietly to such proceedings as are charged
against the recent general assembly and
others"

Oysters Require Cultivation.
Oysters. like any other crop. require cul-
tivation. In the palmy days of the indus
try in the Chesapeake the dredging boats
were mainly deep-water PUNCHES, which re-
quired ballast. This was furnished by load
ing the vessel with shells. and as oysters
were dredged up the shells were thrown
overheard. 1t Is well known that the
spat" Is naturally attracted to Shells ana
that these afford the best object for the
young oyster to attach itself to and grow
upon. Oysters cannot live on muddy bot
toms, but they will thrive on hard surfaces.
A few years ago fine bed was found in
where quantities of cinders had been dump
ed overheard. AS the spat must catch on
something, 1t is said that all that Is neces-
sary to transform barren bottom into
oyster beds Is to sow them literally with
shells and seed Cor smalD oysters Dery
year thousands of bushels OF seed oysters
are alleged to be taken from the Chesa-
peake and sold to Virginia, New Jersey and
Connecticut planters. The dredging boats
now engaged in the industry are mostly
skipjacks and bugeyes. with fiat bottoms.
requiring no ballast. and these return no
shells to the waters and scrape the bars
clear, seed oysters being dumped in some
convenient place for sale to foreign plant
ers.
Virginia is said to be reaping a harvest
from the planting system pursued there.
In Maryland, however. the plant is claimed
by the oystermen to be inferior in quality
to the oyster of natural growth. although 1t
is explained that this is fallacious, and its
seeming truth is due to the lack of proper
methods. The top skim of a planted bed Is
not, according to some claims. inferior to
other oysters. but often those underneath
have been deprived Of nourishment, and If
taken up too soon are thin and watery.

NEWS FROM ROCKVILLE.
Names Spoken Of in Regard to Repub-
Hcan Nominations.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE. Md. August 3, 1903.
Licenses were issued here today for the
marriage of Mr.. Thomas Brewster Penick,
jr., and Miss Elsie Cyrene Raynsford, both
of Elkton Nd. and Mr. Thomas Lamar
Jackson of Burnt Mills and Miss Eliza
beth Maus Bennett of Spencerville.
Now that the democratic candidates for
the various offices to be filed in Mont
gomery county this fall have been named,
attention will be directed to republican poll
tics for a while Already interest seems
to have been awakened in the probable re-
publican nominees. 1t seems to be the
wish of members of the party generally to
IenOminate Mr. Thomas Dawson for clerk
of the circuit court 1t is generally conced-
ed that his administration of the Office of
clerk. which position he has held for the
past six years, could hardly have been i'm
proved upon, and the suggestion that he
has earned a denomination is not disputed.
For sheriff only one neme-that of Mr.. Hen
ry l.. Black of GAINESVILLE 'distrct-has so
far been heard. and it is thought that his
nomination would prove entirely satisfacto-
ry to the party generally For the house of
delegates several have been suggested
among them being Messrs. AIban G.
Thomas of Ashton. Charles H. Parker of
Lay Hill. Mortimer Stabler of Spencerville
Harry A. Dawson of Rockville, Charles T.
Johnson of Clarksburg, Cornelius w. Clum
of Kensington and one or two others. For
states attorney there seems to be general
desire to- name Mr.. Gist Blair of Sligo, and
it is thought lfkelybthat his name will be
the only one presented to the convention.
For county commissioner from this collec-
ton district the name of Mr.. Hezekiah
Trail of this vicinity has been sugges ted,
but 1t is not known that he would accept.
He is one OF, the county's best citizens and
it is believed that he would make an ideal
commissioner Should he make the race,
he would undoubtedly prove formidable
candidate. The name Of Mr.. Clifton Dro-
nenburg of Clarksburg has been urged for
the nomination for register of wills No
names have 80 far been heard in connection
with the other nominations to be made. .
The county convention at which the
ticket is named. will be held here on Au-

Where Lines Grow
From the INDIANAPOLIS News.


Nearly all the lime juice used in the world
comes from the tiny island of Montserrat,
in the British West Indies. The lime grows
wild in many West Indian islands, but only
in Montserrat is it used commercially. That
island is one vast garden of lime trees. and
nowhere in the world is there a finer sight
than it's thirty miles Of orchards. laden with
the fruit of the lime or fragrant with its
blossoms. The fruit is gathered by negro
women, who carry it down the hills to the
shipping port in big baskets on their heads
Like all West Indiars, they are remarkable
for their ability to t:aEry heavy weights in
this manner. Once the~company which con-
trolls the lime juice industry sought to
tighten the burden Of its laborers by intro
ducing wheelbarrows. The negroes filled
the MISCELLANEOUS readily enough and then
carried them on their heads, as they had
been used to carry the baskets. Many a
negro woman win carry hundredweight
of lines on her head for a distance of
mile or more.
