BIG DEMAND FOR OYSTERS.
Exceptionally Busy Season Reported
At Wharf Market.

Oysters are In demand at the wharf
market Vessels with three and four
hundred bushels of bivalves aboard ar
rive, sell out and leave within twenty
four hours.
This condition is unusual. AS rule
runboats lay to for several days to
sell out This season, except during
the warm weather of about a week ago,
quick discharges and clearances again
for the oyster beds have been in order.
So far this season more oysters
have been disposed of in Washington
than are ordinarily consumed up to
the first of the year. when the oyster
season is nearly half over. Saturday
morning when the schooner Tropic
and the powerboat Brighteyes arrived
at the wharf market there were al
ready two or three boats sold out.
Prices ranged from so cents a bushel
for good Potomac stock up to IS cents
for choice bay oysters. The heavy de-
mand for oysters is said to be due to
the excessive price of meat and to the
fact that the runboat masters have
been content with moderate profits
and have this season sold oysters at
comparatively low prices,

Youth came into the market place

things Youth was prodigal, being

whose name had been Youth passed
lan9uidly, and the master marked her
without speech that she no longer sang

flected: "a few years and she will be of
much less value to me, and I shall be
having her as much as her labor is
worfh to me-which would be no bargain.
Better dismiss her today than tomorrow"
And he called to her and said: MY plans

SCHOONER TO BE REPAIRED.
The Mary Francis Damaged by Run.
ming ON Old Piling.

The river schooner Mary Francis is
at Deans boatyard for repairs necessi-
tated by damages received when she
ran upon the old pfling at the mouth
of the former Georgetown to Alexan-
dria canal just north of Alexandra.
The schooner had unloaded a cargo of
cord wood at this city and was on her
way down the river. The water in the
river was unusually high and hid the
piles from sight. and the master OF
the schooner. misjudging his distance
from the shore, ran his vessel upon the
submerged piles. A hole was punched
in the hull OF the vessel, but she was
kept afoat until she could be gotten
into shoal water. A number OF planks
will have to be renewed in the hull OF
the schooner.
The piles which damaged the Mary
Francis are the remains of. an old
civil war time coal pier that has almost
totally disappeared, except the piles
under water. These piles are worn to
a point at the top, and as soon as a
vessel touches them hole is punched
through her planking. In the past few
Years a number of vessels have run
on them and been damaged. Efforts
have been made to have warning
huov nlaced in the river abreast Of the
old wharf. but so far 1t has not been

scandalously misled in this way.
There are no negotiations being car

ultimatum will do much toward reach
ing the results aimed at. What do you

ROCKVILLE, Md. October 19.-Harry
L. Butler, a farmer of Poolesvi1le dis
trict. this county. met death late Sat
urday night under circumstances OF
such doubt that States Attorney w. o.
Spates ordered that an inquest be held,
and the jury will meet today to inquire
into the cause.
Shortly before midnight his body was
found alongside the tracks of the
way near Halpine. three miles east of
Rockville. His neck was broken, his
skull fractured and his face cut and
bruised. His body was warm when dis
covered. He is supposed to have either
accidentally fallen or been knocked
from an electric car a short time be-
fore his body was foun..
officials Investigating.
Immediately upon being notified
States Attorney Spates and the
sheriff began an investigation. They
learned that Mr.. Butler drove to Rock
vile Saturday morning, left his team
here and went to Washington by cleo
trio car. He is thought to have been on
his way back from the city when he
met his death. None of the railway
employees or the persons known to
have been on the cars coming out from
the city Saturday night have been able
to recall seeing any one corresponding
with a description of the dead man. AS
Mr.. Butler was a man of temperate
habits, the authorities think it possible
that his death was not due to an acci-
dent. In his pockets at the time his
body was found were several dollars
in cash and handsome gold watch,
and was a son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
NJ. Butler Of Potomac district. He was
a widower. He leaves two children.
