SQUIRE EILSKOV'S COURT.

Anumber of warrants had been sworn
out by Oyster Inspectors Brewington
and Hardy for illegal taking Of small
oysters, which We're tried Wednesday
at Weems. The following, all colored,
thought it best to pay the fine and not
appear before the Squire, so they paid
fine of $40 and the cost of the case each:
George Chowning, Geo. Banks, Soloman
Rayner and Walter Smith.
Isaac Jones, white, was up against
two charges. One was dismissed. On the
other case he was fined SIG and cost,
although lawyer VIM. B. Sanders
made Rome howl" for awhile for his
client, but it did not seem to have any
effect on the Squire. Chairman w.
Med. Lee was a witness for the COM
monwealth in this case, he being with
Inspector Brewington at the time the
defendent was caught with the oysters
in his possession. An appealwas taken
on this decision to the county court.

KETCH-AWLS FROM EVERYWHERE

We are glad to learn, through our old
friend Clarence, that the business ven
ture of Messrs. Jones & Richardson, at

An extra session of the Legislature
Of Virginia will not be called, as was
threatened some days ago, to make
the officials and attorneys Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad respect the wishes of
the people of the State in the selection
of a president for the Richmond, Fred
ericksburg and Potomac railroad. The
matter was settled at meeting of the
stockholders in Richmond on Monday by
the election of William Henry White,
a prominent attorney of Norfolk, as ex-
ecutive head of the R., F. & P. r. R.,
at the instance of those representing
the interests of the road. In their
opinion, Virginian could be better
depended upon to see that the State got
all that she is entitled to and the selec-
ton was made in accordance with their
views. The credit is due principally
though to Governor Swanson for the
happy ending of the matter, and the
people of Virginia are to be congratu-
lated in having as their executive one
who not only in this case but in every
other, since he was inaugurated, has
shown himself alive to the best inter
ests of the State. = Peninsula Enter

SOME DEATHS.

julius B. Hall, of Richmond c1unty,
died few d IS ago after a brief i'll
ness, aged Sc senty years. He is sur
vived by mis- widow, three sons snd four
daughters.
Mrs. VIM. S. Diller, wife of w. S.
Diller, near Hopeside, Northumberland
Co., Va, died December IL, after long
illness. Mrs. Diller had been in declin-
ing health for many airs, but had been
a great sufferer for more than two
years past. In October, accompanied
by her sister, Mrs. Mary ]. Christopher
who was also in bad health, she went to
a hospital in Baltimore to undergo a
surgical operation as her only hope of
relief. Mrs. Christopher being the
stronger of the two was placed on the
operators table first, but ST. never raj
lied from the effects of the operation.
So Mrs. Diller dispairing of relief was
brought back home by her husband.
And though all that good nursing and
the best medical skill could do was done
for her, she gradually grew worse till
the end came. Calmly and confidently
she waited on the borderland of the
other world till the time of her depar-
turewas at hand, and calling to her bed
side her husband, with the children, she
gave to them good wife's and godly
mothers parting counsel and blessing
and peacefully fell asleep to awake with
God for aye. She was laid to rest in
the quiet little cemetery of Rehoboth
Church to await the voice of the Arch
Angel and the trump of God. Mrs.
Diller was never very demonstrative in
herreligious life but in these closing days
many were the appeals to friends and
neighbors to meet her in the better land.
She was a member of Wicomico M. P.
church and the funeral services were
conducted by her pastor, Rev. Mr..
Wooden, assisted by Rev. Mr.. Hardy,
pastor of Rehoboth M. E. church. To
the stricken and lonely father is COM
mitted the care of seven motherless
children, ranging in age from the little
tot of a girl of about three summers to
the Oldest boys of about fourteen and
sixteen years.
