THE WOUNDED MAN.

Me9gre reports only of the shootin,-
at Colonial Beach We're given last week
1t seems that gentleman named Raab
.ot Washington, with friends was fishing
In skill near the Beach. The Virginia
oyster police boat was stealing up on
some negro scrapers aud when within q
mile or SO began firing rifles across
their bow as they fled towards MARYLAND.
No shots were fired inshore or in the
direction of the fishers.
After taking the scrapers in to Colo
NAL Beach Capt. Hudson was informed.
to his surprise. that his crew had shot a
man. There is no explanation of it other
than one of the shot had hit a stake or
fleeing boat, or other object, and glanced
off. The wounded man is doing well in
Providence Hospital, Washington. He
was sitting with feet on seat of his boat
knees nearly to his chin; hence the Pc
culiar and dangerous manner in which
the ball acted. 1t penetrated his back.
MS lntestines, coming out of the ahdo-
men, went through his thigh and lodged
IN the calf of the leg. A Krag-Jorgensen
bullet is humane and medicated one:
hence the survival of the unfortunate
victim. Had it been of another type it
would have lacerated the wound. and he
could not possibly have survived long
enough to reach Washington.
The oyster officials deeply regret the
accident, but it could not have been
helped. 1t was not carelessness or
rash1ess that caused the accident.

Major j. n. STUBBs. the vete-

article in the last issue of the

things in his letter we find this:
This ''stir" in James River, when all
the facts are brought out. will reveal
to the people of Virginia very differ
ent condition than now sought to be
made by the press of the State. The
Times-Dispatch has had some editorials
and interviews recently that are full of
errors, mistakes and wrong conclusions
and have done harm in our midst, rather
than ''quieting" the storm-have added
fuel to the flames.
The Times-Dispatch, and all the pa
pers of like persuasion, are not taking
these views because of any i'll will to-
wards tongers or planters or any favor
ltism for any parties in the Eight. :"
but they are not properly informed of
the true situation-both sides not told
one side not told at all and the other
side exaggerated to an enormous degree.
Virginia papers mean well and will be-
fair, but when capital is brought in con
tact with labor, the former has the ad-
vantage, for money WILDE used by the
former while the latter goes unreprC
ssnted. Those IN Tidewater who have
beenand are now opposed to the present
oyster laws are making all they can of
this ''stir" in James river, hoping to
form sentiment in Virginia hostile to
the present laws. Already some papers
are foreshadowing the outcome at the
next Legislature-such as amending the
Constitution and changing in material
points the laws and raise an enormous
revenue from the oyster.
