Seed BIVaV|es Bring Thirty Five
Vi Gents the Bushe!
DEMAND GREATER THAN SUPPLY
Few Pirates are Seen in the Waters of
the James This season-Whitc Man
and Negro Fined for Violating the
State Law.

captain Winder, OF the Virginia
oyster steamer James River, reached
hampton yesterday from the oyster
rocks along James river and reports
mat seed bivalves are scarce and
bringing good prices.
For instance Captain Windcr says
That seed oysters are selling for 30
cents bushcl, while the market hi.
valves bring so cents bushcl. This
is said to be the best price that has
been offered for oysters in many years
at the beginning of tho season.
Two Pirates Fined.
Captain Winder had two white men.
Frank Williams and Charles Slant, of
Accomac county, before him yesterday
on warrant, charging them with
catching hncullcd oysters. Tho men
pleaded guilty and were fined $40 and
costs each. The fines were paid.
In talking over the situation in
James river Captain Winder stated
That pirates have been scarce this sea
son, and that few oystermen have been
lined for breaches of the law.
Denies the Report.
a sensational report reached Hamp-
ton yesterday to the effect that on last
o'uiudS uiSHl DloOuy nSnI occurred
in James river between white and col
ored oystermen. 1t was said that three
white men were injured, one having
his jaw bone broken, and that. mt least
two negroes were dead from the hat.
tie.
Captain Winder said last night that
lie has been along the river nearly
every day this week, and if any fight
has occurred he has failed to hc:.- of
it. He thinks he would have been ac-
qnainted with the facts had the trou.
bic really taken PLACE.
Captain Winder explains that prob
ably the report got out that fight hal
taken place owing to the trouble be-
tween Franklin Wilkerson and Will
liam Grissett, the two white men from
Accomac county.
Grissett was arrested in Hampton
Thursday evening and is now in the
Warwick county jail pending the re.
covery or death of his victim.

Zoo, Muscatine, is Negotiated by
the Mayor.

y big addition to the Long View
park zoo was made today through the
arrival of the animals that have been
kept at the Weed park zoo at Musca-
tine, which have been purchased for
the local park and which arrived by
boat today. The collection includes
three foxes, two owls. five wolves, four
ground hogs and two racsOOns. They
have lost their home at Muscatine as Il
result of Il change in the management
of the park, which will in future be in
the hands OF the chautauqua assOcia-
ton of that city. The purchase of the
collection was negotiated by Mayor
McCasllrin. AS the park commission
ers knew nothing of the intention to
secure the animals for Long View, it
was necessary to hastily prepare tenn
porary quarters, the larger animals be-
ing housed at the police station until
the quarters are ready.
You are wasting time if you are
waiting for nature to do all the work.
Everybody needs little help, so does
