When a Mans In Love.

Love was under discussion and the

violating condolences to tell other
answers. One only-the best-we
begged leave to print. "a man isn't
really in love-" said this Economically

gins to skip the descriptions of hero
ines in novels he reads, saying, What's
the use of reading that? I'll have her

This was corroborated by Mr.. Parkin.
son, one Of the men who made the
arrest. Captain Hurley made a good
impression by his btaring and testi.
mony, and in addition it seemed i'm
probable that these men, who were
from Crisfeld or Baltimore, would
have any reason TO wish TO injure
Mr.. Emory, particularly as there WAS
nothing to show that they could have
known that he owned private bed.
Under the eircumstaces, Commits.
sioneI Brewer felt that he could not
bold Captain Hurley. He also doubt
ed the jurisdiction of the United
States in the matter. While the hear
ing was going on il developed that
Hurley had not fixed the number of
his dredging license to his sail, and
States Attorney Green was so in
formed That official declined to
push the matter, as il was admitted
that Hurley had made no attempt to
catch oysters.
1t is probable that theA shooting
was done by those in the other skip
jack which was seen by several wit
nesses, and that they were persons
who knew that Mr. Emory had taken
up some bottom. Local oystermen,
however, repudiate the idea that they
would resort to such means. The
TACT remains that Mr.. Emory was
subjected to most outrageous at
tack, and there is strong Indignation
over the affair aud determination to
punish the guilty parties if they can
be found.
The Board of Public Works yester-
day passed a formal resolution in
structing Commander Howard, Of the
State Fishery Force, to enforce all
the laws Of the State relating to oys-
ters. The resolution was passed in
view of the recent depredations
against the bottoms leased under the
oyster culture act. The board held a
long executive session, Governor
Goldsborough, Comptroller Harring-
ton and Treasurer Vandiver being
present. John e. Semmes, Jr., and
J. T. Harwood, representing a num-
Der of planters, appeared before the
board. They told of recent cases of
depredations against the beds, nd
asked that the board order that the
private beds be protected.
Every phase Of the matter was
thoroughly discussed in the board,
the session lasting about three hours.
At first it appeared likely that the
resolution as passed would contain a
direct reference to the violations of
the pr vate beds, but later it was
thought better to instruct the COM
mander of the State Fishery Force to
carry out all the laws Of the State on
the subject. He was also directed to
notify his de putty commanders of the
action of the board.
