AT THE OYSTER WHARF.
Prospective Buyers to Be Protected
i From ANNOYANCE.


Lieut.. Sutton of the harbor police pre-
cinct has instructed the policemen on
the wharf beats to put a stop to the
oyster trade soliciting on the 18th street
wharf. and within the past day or two
three or more arrests have been made of
parties charged with violating the regula-
tions. For several years past, it is stated,
it has been the custom of the oyster
shuckers at the wharf market to approach
prospective buyers of oysters in the shell,
and endeavor to get them to buy from a
certain vessel, the master Of which pays
the solicitor a certain sum for steering
the buyer to his boat.
The custom, it is alleged, has become
very annoying to those who are in the
habit of going to the wharf for oysters,
as the buyer was often surrounded by
several solicitors who Would catch hold of
him and try to draw him toward the boat
they represented. Then, too, it Is said,
that buyers unacquainted with the prices
the solicitor, and the difference in the
price was pocketed by the solicitor. All
this Is contrary to the regulations govern
ing public places and under instructions
the policemen stationed on the 18th street
wharf will make arrests of all found vio-
lating the regulation.
1t Is said that the prosecuting attorney
has decided that it is not a violation of
the Law to approach a buyer with a re-
quest to be allowed to shuck the oysters
he may purchase, but to attempt to sell
him oysters, or anything else, is VIOLA
ton of the law.

REGARDED AS UNJUST.
Comment Upon the Strike Declared
Against Construction COMPANY.


Commenting upon the strike on the
reported in the Kansas City papers, M:
E. K. Hall, secretary of the Employers
Association in this city, said today:
This only emphasizes our contention
that unions both monopolize and restrict
labor to the great inconvenience and dam
age of both investor and contractor, to
the former in delaying the completion of
the work and consequently the income to
be derived and to the latter by strikes
and hagglings Of all kinds.
Mt is only short time since the master
painters Of this city, through the columns
of The Star, made complaint that, after
repeated applications, they could not get
from the business agents workmen to do
their work, as the union refused to accept
the travelling cards from other cities as
heretofore.
THE electricians are in the same pre-
dicament. A prominent electrician en-
ploying only union men told me a few
days ago that he could not secure work
ment after repeated applications to the
business agent, and finally thought he had
solved the problem by sending to Balti-
more and engaging fifteen union men in
good standing. But he was again block
ed by the union not accepting The travel
ing cards of these men and he had to
send them back at his expense and his
work is delayed.
This happens to the very employers
who have sacrificed contracts and work
in order to remain on the fair list of
the unions and such instances can be
cited time and again. All this in face of
the fact that there are plenty of first
class mechanics in every trade all over
the country who want and need work
''These conditions obtain throughout the
nfryy he cfrtly EN,,l1
Construction Company's work is only an
other Illustration of the Uniform treat
ment the unions give even their stanchest
supporters when the opportunity offers"

OUR ANNUAL EXCURSION.

The annual excursion to and
from Mathews will take place on
Aug. 81 and p. The steamer
Hampton will make the run. In
previous years the people have
looked forward to this trip, and
we have no doubt that many of
our friends are anxiously awaiting
that event The management, we
are told. have spared neither
money or labor to make this trip
memorable one. The steamer
will leave Hicks Wharf at ZOO;
Williams. 7:I5; Philpotts, 7,3o;
Diggs, 7:45. The excursion ought
to reach Norfolk and the Exposi-
ton somewhere between 1890
and 1890 and as the boat does
not leave Norfolk till 500 p. NJ.
and the Exposition at 6:I5 P. NJ.
our county people will have an
enjoyable stay of about seven
hours. Last years excursion was
very pleasant affair, but this
years promises to eclipse all pre-
vious ones. Don't forget it is
Thursday. Aug. D, that our an
nual excursion takes place.
Gloucester's excursion will take
place on Friday, August q, and
she will receive as good service as
the people of Mathews.

HE JOURNAL notes with great
pleasure the announcement of the
candidacy of Marshall r. Peter
son. Esq. for the Democratic
nomination for a seat in the SEN
ate of Virginia from the city of
Norfolk. While the contest is
outside of our bailiwick, we feel
a keen interest therein, as we feel
sure a great many citizens of
Mathews do.
His father, for four years was
the beloved pastor of the Math-
ews Circuit on. E. church, and
greatly endeared himself TO the
people of the county, and the
son, living here during those four
years. and visiting here frequent
Nv since. has a VIDE acquaintance
with Mathews and her citizenship.
Mr.. Peterson would be strik-
ing and influential Senator, fluent,
forceful. courageous and incor-
ruptible. He would reflect great
credit upon the city of Norfolk
and his inevitably conspicuous
position in the Senate would be a
source of pride to the city by
the sea.
We look upon him almost as
Mathews boy and we hope the
great numbers of Mathews county
men who are voters in Norfolk
city will rally to the support of
Mr.. Peterson.

OBITUARY.

On Thursday last. Aug. s, at
about 1 o'clock, Lulie BROMLEY,
the wife of Marshal BROMLEY,
and youngest daughter of Au-
gustus and Molly Hudgins,
breathed her last. At only 10
years of age and loved by all who
knew her. it seems exceedingly
sad that she should leave us.
She had only been married about
three months and was just start
ing in life. when about three
weeks ago she was stricken with
typhoid fever. The doctor was
at once summoned and afterward
another doctor, and a trained
nurse was also summoned and
everything that human agency
could do was done for her but all
of no avail; for when the Great
Judge of all the Earth calls we
must go prepared or unprepared.
Oh. God help us all to be pre-
pared for that great and awful
day, let it come when it may,
forbid that any should be unprc-
pared. 1t is hoped that she is to-
day with the angels around the
throne giving praise TO God for
ever. for on her dying day she
told her father-in-law she was
gong to Heaven, where all the
good people were and asked them
to sing =" Home. Sweet Home "
at her funeral. We miss her in
the Sunday school. we miss her
in the Epworth League. but we
praise God that we can look Him
in the face and say not our will
but thine be done. We render to
her people our sympathy and
point them to the Lamb of God
that taksth away the sins of the
world and that beareth all our
burdens. hoping earnestly that in
that last day we may meet all
our dear friends and see our
Saviour face TO face never TO part
again.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted by the Rev. Mr.. Ware

he burial service was read the
