OYSTERS ARE PLENTIFUL.
Dredging Now in Full Swing and
Harbors Are Relieved.

Oyster dredging is lawful on Chesapeake
taking season is in full swing on all the
waters of Chesapeake bay and its tribu-
tareS.
Since the opening of the dredging season
on the Potomac, October II, the oyster
producing grounds along the lower river
have been crowded with dredge boats
taking the bivalves from the natural oys-
ter rocks by means of dredges operated
by hand and gasoline engine power.
1t is estimated that ten days ago there
were 800 dredgeboats on the Potomac
from Colonial Beach to rOint Lookout. In
spite of much calm weather the dredgers
have been successful this season and
have taken many thousands of bushels of
fine oysters from the Potomac beds.
With the opening of the dredging sea-
son more than half the fleet at work on
the Potomac has gone to the bay dredging
grounds Others will follow them. so
that within the, next few days there will
be but about a hundred dredgebOatS at
work on the river:
The departure of the dredgers is a
matter for rejoicing among steamboat
masters engaged in the lower Potomac
traffic Dredgers have been crowding
into the harbors and about the wharves
down river. that it was only with
much trouble and skill that the masters
were able to go in and out from these
wharves without hitting a dredgebOat.
The departure of the dredgers does not
mean any shortage in the oyster supply
here, as all the vessels that have left the
Potomac were engaged in taking oysters
for the Baltimore market The dredge-
boats now working on the Potomac oyster
beds will be more than able TO supply the
local market.

pleted the slowest and one of the rough
est trips she has made since she has

The Seavey sailed from Port Tampa
September %. and by her past records
for quick trips should have arrived at
Baltimore early In last month. Almost
the day she left the Florida port she
encountered bad weather with northerly
and easterly gales that prevented her
making any Roadway.
At times the vessel rolled so much
that those aboard her would not have
been surprised to see her pick up some
OF the coral grOwths on the bottom of
the sea on the end of her bowsprit Sew
eral times OH the trip she was forced to
anchor for two or three days at a time
owing to the violence of the gales she
encountered.
In Hatteras blight. where bad weather
made her anchor she was in company
with the schooner Elisha Atkins and
other vessels well known here The Sea
vey came in Cape Henry Saturday last
and Monday was picked up by the tug
Grace and toWed to Baltimore.

LOSE HOME IN JERSEY.
Mr.. and Mrs. Crammond Kennedy
Sustain Loss by Fire.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Crammond
Kennedy, on the Palisades, near Alpine.
n. j., overlooking the Hudson river and
Long Island sound. was totally destroyed
by fire before daybreak the 4th instant,
with the library and most of the furni-
ture. Mr.. Kennedy. who is local attor-
ney, had remained two or three weeks
later than usual before returning to
Washington, SO as to cast his vote in
New Jersey.
The fire broke out in the attic. probably
from a defective f1ue. If it had caught
below, it is explained, there might have
been serious loss of life, as the flames
spread so rapidly that within an hour
the whole place was in d blaze The
other buildings on the property were I'M
injured. The fire could be seen far up
and down the Hudson and on Long Island.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kennedy who are now in
Washington. have received many express
sions of sympathy and regret for their
misfortune. especially from friends who
had visited them at the Palisades The
money loss is partly covered by insurance.
