New York Has Oyster War.

The following article from the Balti-
more Sun will prove of interest to Wor-
cester oystermen at this time:
''Just before the opening of the sea
son New York is threatened with an
oyster war of such magnitude that un-
less promptly settled. which does not
seem likely, It will materially affect the
supply. The fight is waged against a
combination of wealthy oyster men,
who, it is declared. not only control the
planted beds of the State, but are now
trying to get hold of those of natural
growth.
The fishermen have already organ
ized, under the name of the Baymen' S
Protective Association. and through
their counsel, Benjamin Patterson, have
begun proceedings to prevent the lease
or sale. at nominal figures, of any
oyster or clam beds of natural growth
to the members of the alleged trust.
"Mr Patterson said the combination,
for about 25 cents an acre, acquired
from the State commission all the avail
able lands under water near the city
and began to encroach upon the natural
beds, substituting team rakes and ma
chinery for the hand implements used
by the fishermen and depriving the
latter of their means of livelihood.
"The commission recently advertised
for lease valuable beds of natural
growth in the Hudson river. near Nyack
and Irvington, and in the lower bay.
The lands were to have been sold last
week, but the attorney appeared with a
large delegation of the fishermen to
oppose such action. The sale was post
Doned until September IL. "

MILLSBORO'S NARROW
ESCAPE FROM fire
Flames Destroyed The M. E. Church.
Store. And A Dwelling. Early Sunday
Morning.

Millsboro, on the lower division of the
ID. NJ. and V. X. r., about eight miles
from Georgetown, with population Of
800 people was the scene of destruc-
tive fire at three O'Clock Sunday morn
ing.
The fire originated in the store room
of Elias r. Elliott and when discovered
had made such headway that it was i'm
possible to save the building or goods.
Soon after the alarm was sounded the
citizens formed bucket brigade and
bent their energies toward saving the
large NJ. T.. Church which stood just
across an alley from the burning store.
Men, women and children carried
water with will but the wind from
the southwest blew such a gale that
it was found impossible to check the
flames, and telegram was sent to
Georgetown for help.
About O'Clock the Georgetown Fire
Company left on special train. Up
on arriving at Millsboro they found the
fire had been gotten under control. but
not until the store, the NJ. +. Church
and large dwelling belonging to Mrs.
Mary II. Carmon had been entirely con-
sumed. The firemen, however, applied
water to the burning embers and soon
had the fire entirely out. The hotel and
several large dwellings, Just across the
street from the blaze were threatened.
but a change of the wind, and the pres
ence of large shade trees in front of
the buildings saved them. Several
other dwellings adjoining those burned
were more or less damaged by being
soaked with water.
The losses are: Store building owned
by Elihu A. Philips. and tenanted by
Mr.. Elliott. $400: insurance. 5000.
f. T. Elliott's stock of goods, $2l00;
insurance $1,000.
Methodist Episcopal Church. $500;
insurance. $l75O.
Besides the above losses II. S. Bakers
dwelling. a small store house belonging
to Harry Bohn. of Philadelphia, and
the store of Cary & Wharton were
damaged.
