The demand for oysters in the shell has
been heavy for the past three days, and
the receipts light There were but four
vessels at the wharf yesterday evening,
and they had aboard less than 800 bushels
OF the bivalves, supply that would last
only few hours with fair demand.
The dealers at the wharf are not looking
for a shortage, however. as one boat from
the Wicomico river arrived today Four
or five boats with Potomac river stock
aboard are expected to reach here this
evening. By tomorrow morning. II 10

bivalves will be on sale. Prices range
from 50 cents per bushel, for good Pc
tomac stock. up to 80 cents for choice
stock.
The oyster season on the Potomac is
drawing to q close, and within the next
month the large majority of vessels now
engaged In running oysters here will have
gone into the fish running business or

DRESSED AS NEGRO BOY,
WEEDS RICH MAN IN JAIL
Bride, Who Was Witness
Against Alleged Murderer,
Need Not Testify Now.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, March 15.-Dr
and Miss Cleo D. Lucas were married in
the city Jail here at midnight Sunday.
their hands Joined through the bars of
the cell in which the doctor was locked.
The fact was discovered yesterday on
the return of the certificate.
The bride had disguised herself as a
negro boy and the justice who performed
the ceremony pretended to be a friend
OF the accused man. The ostensble boy
was posing as a servant carrying delica-
cies to the prisoner, who is held on a
charge of killing his brother-in-law.
Thomas Norman. Mrs. Grace Norman.
the widow of Thomas Norman. was one
of the witnesses of the wedding.
Miss Lucas was the chief witness
against Dr. Sherman. Under the Tennes-
see laws a wife cannot give evidence
against her husband.
Feud Leads to Tragedy.
The tragedy was the elimination OF a
property feud between Norman and Sher-
man and was brought about by Mrs. Nor
man calling her brother 10 her home to
settle a difficulty that had arisen between
herself and her husband.
DR. Sherman was appointed admins
TRAITOR Of his wealthy fathers estate and
Norman believed his wife was not get
ting fair deal. Frequently disputes be-
tween the men about this matter caused
an estrangement between the families. II
also developed that Sherman had bor-
rowed $1l,O0O from his sister, Mrs. Nor
man. He failed to make payment when
it fell due and this augmented the feud
already growing.
A previous attempt to have a wedding
In the jail with the same persons as prin-
cipals had been frustrated by Sheriff

Sixteen Occur on Sunday.

Sixteen out Of twenty-one early English
coronations occurred on Sunday. and for

special reason. Richard III and his wife

beth of York. his queen, was crowned
Sunday, November %.
Since that time there have been no
Sunday coronations. James I broke the
rule and selected Monday, July q. the

OBJECT TO CAT CHORUS,
SINGERS PUT TO DEATH
Citizens of Camden, N. j.,
Fined for Staying Sixty
Five FeIineS.

CAMDEN, n J., March 15-Charged
with causing sixty-ive deaths. John Pike
and Harry Stevenson Of this town were
arrested yesterday. But they were not
held for trial as murderers. Indeed, they
goth off with fines Of IS each.
The fact Is, their work as siayers had
won the appreciation instead OF the
virtuous horror of many residents of this
city. That was because Of the family and
hibits Of the victims. The slain ones were
cats-highly priced by high families, it is
true, but still just cats.
The motive for the murders lay in the
nocturnal working of the cats. Every
midnight as residents around 9Th and
Berkeley streets were about to sleep the
sleep of Phiadelphians, scores Of cats
gathered on back fences and sang All
h-h, I'm Ma-a-ary Ga-arden" or some
thing to that effect.
Murder the Only Resource.
Large quantities of well aimed shoes and
furniture did not discourage this branch
OF the Philadelphia school of opera. At
length, weary and half distracted. Pike
and Stevenson rallied friends around them
and suggested murder. The plan was re-
ceived favorably and a large purse was
raised to defray expenses In case the cats
should have friends-though that posi-
bility was laughed at.
Early Yesterday Pike and Stevenson
fixed a trap, consisting of a box with a
false bottom which opened into a barrel
of water They placed fish in a tempting
and dangerous position: The contrivance
was then set in a dark alley. Within a
few minutes every cat In the neighbor-
hood came on the run. snapped at the
fish and dropped into the barrel, never
to see daylight again.
The owners Of the departed singers,
missing their pets, Investigated through
the S. p. C. A. When Pike and Steven
son were merely fined the cat lovers
looked as if they thought there were false
weights in Justices scales.
