DISPUTE OVER OYSTER INDUSTRY.
Philadelphia Capitalists Urge Governor Lea
Not TO Sign Bill Passed by Legislature.

1t was Philadelphia against Della
ware at the State House Thursday be-
fore Governor Preston Lea. Among
the bills which the Governor is hold
ing under consideration are the series
of bills relating to the oyster industry
of Delaware. The bills provide for
new survey, prohibit the use of cleo
trio or power dredges aud reduce the
maximum number of acres which one
man may hold. Maurice Rogers, Will
liam M. Shillingsburg and George
Shock, the Philadelphia capitalists
oyster planters and dealers who have
been owning and operating practically
all of the profitable beds, appeared be-
fore the governor, represented by r.
r. Kenney, representing that the bills
would simply destroy the oyster in
dustry of Delaware rather than foster
it, as they would drive capitalists and
planters from the State. A large del
egation of Delaware oystermen,
headed by Representative A. r. Ben
son as their spokesman, appeared later
in the day, urging that the bills be
signed.

DELAWARE BOY A RAPID sTENOGRAPHER
Has Speed of 1855 Words Minute and Ac
cepted $1,000 Position in Philadelphia.

Charles A. Buell., chief stenographer
for the du Pont Powder Company,
Wilmington, has accepted a position
with the Bickendorfer Typewriter
Company of Philadelphia, at salary
of 1000 year. He will resume his
new duties and remove to the Quaker
City in a short time. Mr.. Buell. is said
to be one of the fastest typewriters in
the country. His speed is 1S5 words
minute. which he can keep up for five
minutes. He has never met but one
man who could beat him on speed.
This man wrote 100 words but could
only keep it up for one minute. He
has been with the du Pont Company
for more than year. Previous to COM
ing to Wilmington he lived in Chicago
where he did considerable work for
the Oliver Typwriter Company. About
a year ago Mr.. Buell. entered contest
in Philadelphia as a representative of
the Oliver Company. Every type.
writer company in the country was
represented and about 100 took part iu

sIwpeRsjfOUOND GUILTY OF MURDER.
Iury Finds Him Guilty of the Murder Of Al.
bert Constable, ESQ.,, of EIktOn. Nd.

After celebrating less than an hour,
inrv at Elkton late Thursday after
noon found John Shippers guilty in the
first degree of the murder of Albert
Constable, a widely known and highly
respected lawyer of that town. Simpers
was remanded to the custody of War
den Weyler of the state penitentiary,
TO be turned over to the sheriff of Ce-
cil County as such time as Governor
Warfeld may set for the hanging of
Shippers. Closing arguments were
made all of Thursday in the case,
which was given to the jury without a
charge from the court. States Attor-
ney Squiel of Cecil County, and States
Attorney Owens, of Baltimore opened
for the state and Mr.. Strahorn and
Mr.. Mullikin pleaded before the jury
in behalf of Shippers. The closing ad-
dress of the state was made by Attor-
ney General Bryan of Baltimore.
Throughout 1t all Shippers was as
calm and composed as ever, and fre.
ouently made suggestions to his plead
ing counsel. The case was given to
the jury about 4. Is o'clock and a few
minutes after 5 the jurors filed in with
their verdict of guilty in the first de-
gree. They took but one formal poll
to determine the verdict, which car
ried with it the death penalty. War
den Weyler, who had been sitting near
Shippers, Immediately took charge of
him and with Deputy Warden Riggin
and Detectives Weaver and Dougherty
took Shippers back to Baltimore. Sim
pers already is serving a sentence of
eight years for horse stealing but that
will not interfere with the present SEN
tence being carried out. Under the
Maryland law Governor Warteld has
the pardoning power as we'll as the fix
ing of the date for execution, and the
mere fixing of the date is sufficient.
Patrolman Fox and Conner of Will
mington, who arrested Shippers, have
lodged claim with States Attorney
Squiel of Cecil County for share oi
the reward offered for the arrest of Mr..
Constable's murderer. They rrested
Shippers on Front Street on a charge
Of stealing horse, carriage and some
harness. While Shippers was not known
at the time to have been a murderer, il
was through his arrest by the Will
mington police that the crime was fas
tened on Shippers later. The police.
men also have a claim for $25 reward
that was offered by Sheriff Biddie o.
Cecil County for the arrest of the
horse thief raiding that county, who
proved to be Shippers.

and ]. L. Mattocks-retires from
the field of journalism. In our
brief career on the editorial stage
we we have received a few flow
ers. the memory of which will be
cherished with others most dear
to us. The audience has been a
most patient and indulgent one,
and that they did not applaud
more often is not a fault of theirs.
We retire, not because the har-
ness gals at any point, but be-
cause one more experienced is a.
mong us. The people of Cald-
well deserve n better paper than
it has been within our power to
give. We have realized the es-
sence of a much-worn maxim.
and that is, one thing at a time is
the only way to derive the great
est good. In introducing our sue
cessor, Mr.. Thos. N. Locke, of
Mathews, Va, we wish to say
that Mr.. Locke has had a success
full career of thirteen years in the
newspaper business. His influence
for the cause of Democracy and
general good has been felt wher-
ever the people were so fortunate
as to have him. He is highly rec
omended as a gentleman of high
character and a man of ability,
and that he will identify himself
with the best interests of the COM
munity there is no doubt. AS we
sever this pleasant connection
and retire to the more humble
walks i'll life, we feel that our
friends will find in our successor
an exageration of the few good
qualities we possessed, and our
enemies a tempering of the bad
ones. "-Lenoir, N. c., Topic.

lent specimen of Southern wo-
manhood. while his son, ]. ID.
Brooks Jr.. is a young man of
good morals and department.
The loss of a good man is a ser
ious blow to any community, and
of all the good men whom this
writer has had the pleasure of
knowing, he has never known a
better. truer, kindlier one than
Mr. Brooks. 1t was the passion
of has heart never to pollute his
hand by the execution of evil, nor
to defile his lips with falsehood's
baleful poison, nor to desecrate
his soul by harboring malice to-
ward, or being covetous of, his
neighbors. He was not a great
man In the common acCeptation
of that term, but he was that
which is incomparibly better-he
was an absolutely honest man.
While he was not member of
any church, he was, nevertheless,
a strong believer in Jesus Christ,
and experienced through his long
and useful life the joys that can
only come to him who looks to
Calvary's Cross for light and life.
Mr.. Brooks as a citizen came
up to the Hottest standard of our
great republic; as 4 neighbor he
was generous, kind and hospita-
BILE; as friend, devoted, constant
and loyal, ever ready to extend a
helping hand, to give his counsel
and advice and to freely mingle
his tears with theirs in the hour
of sorrow and distress; as a hus-
band and father he sought to fill
his home with the warmth and
glow, the freshness and fragrance
of a pure and deathless love.
We shall never forget, nor
cease to value this grand old man.
Candid as a faultless mirror, kind
as the dew to a thirsty flower,
honest as sunlight, faithful as the
mariners unerring needle, and
gentle in disposition as the first
sweet breath of morning, his life,
though ended in this world, leaves
within my heart the perfume of a
sacred memory. Old friend fare
we'll, though l trust that we shall
meet again in the city of our God.
