Embargo n<oyster Vessels.

The freezing of the river has placed an
embargo on oyster vessels and has caught
the wharf market with a comparatively
small supply on hand. Although there

not amount in all to 5000 bushels-a. uuan-
tity that would be used up in a week were
the market brisk. The demand. however.
Is quite light. and has been SO for the past
two weeks. The freezing OF the river has
increased the demand but little and this
has kept prices from jumping up. Good
oysters could have been purchased yester-
day at prices as low as :l0c per bushel
while the selected stock on hand is held
at 81. per bushel. Several oyster-laden
vessels are lying at river points waiting
an opportunity. to come to this city. and
there are twelve or fifteen light vessels
lying at the wharf ready to sail as soon
as the Ice will allow. Anticipating Il

Hargis was the political leader of the
democrats of the tenth district and was
the boss of Breathitt county.
For years his sway was not opposed,
but some years ago Mr.. Marcum had the
temerity to oppose Hargis in a law suit.
From that date Marcum was a marked
man.
Judge Hargis had been on trial at
various times for completely i'm the muir

Judge Hargis had just disposed of this,
the last Of these cases in which he had
been involved by his connection with the
Hargis-Cockrill feud. when he paid a
check of over $11,OOe to Mrs. Marcum.
Mrs Marcum had sued Judge Hargis and
others for 100000, alleging that they
caused the death Of her husband! Though
Judge Hargis was acquitted of the
charge of having murdered Marcum. the

lumber business and were generally &C

Judge Hargis will be buried in a casket
which he himself purchased about a
month ago. Some time during the early
part of last month Judge Hargis went
to the National Casket Company and re-
quested that he be shown the most elab-

Nothing suited him and he finally ordered
