Lost shipment.

Some time since Miss Lillian Nc
Williams before her removal to Indian
Head shipped a lot of turkeys by
Adams Express from Pope's creek,
which were valued at 1862, to Golden
& Co.. Washington, D. G. That was
the last the young lady heard from her
turkeys as they were not delivered to
the Washington firm. But Miss Nc
Williams being a young lady who
knows her rights and dares maintain
them has sued the Express Company
for the value Of her shipment and the
probabilities are that the Company
will be compelled to s'fork over"

Ex-Judge 7. Van Claaett, delegate
to the legislature from Prince Geoge's
county. has introduced a bill which
will prevent altogether the placing Of
pound nets at the mouth Of the Patux-
ent at Solomon's Island, or limit those
nets 50 that fish from Chesapeake Bay
will not be prevented, as is now the
case, from coming up the Patuxeut.
The bill, il passed. and it should have
no opposition, will greatly increase
the fish food supply to the people Of
Charles, Calvert and Prince George's
counties. The federal authorities
should also take up aud enact such a
law as will prohibit to a great extent
the placing Of pound and other nets in
the Chesapeake Bay which prevents
the entrance of fish into the Potomac
and the other rivers emptying into the
Bay.
These nets are in the most part
ownsd by non residents of the State
and the fish, caught by millions, are
sent to New York and Philadelphia to
fertilizer factories. 1t is to be hoped
that not only the members of the
legislature, but our representatives in
Congress as well, will enter upon this
fight to increase our fish food supply
with all the energy and ability they
possess, for it is most important mat
ter to every citizen Of Maryland, and
to thousands of Virginians.

commended for an effort he is making
to have the State establish lime man
ufactering plant in Southern Maryland,
probably at Pope's Greek in this coun-

My eyes with tears become wet,
When think OF sister Nora,
That never can forget.

She is free from all sickness ard pain,

We will be together ia Heaven again.

MO one will gloas over the finding,
~ for the second time, of a verdict
of murder In the first degree against
Charles Becker, the New York police
lieutenant, as the responsible party in
the killing Of Herman Rosenthal, q
professional gambler Of that city, and
that in all probability he will in time
satisfy the demands of justice and the
law Of the state by going to his death
in the electric chair. The new evil
dence produced by the prosecuting at
torney in the second trial as to Beck
er's guilt, fully corroborated the state
ments of the man Rose and others who
furnished evidence for the state, IS
well as the confession of at least one
of the four men who already have been
e~leetrocuted as the principals in the
crime, and either of whom was fully
capable of committing the deed with
out the suggestion of Becker or any
one else. Through this whole tragedy
runs the element of human greed and
graft, the desire to possess that for
which no just equivalent has been rem
dered. And we believe these to be the
predominating incentives to most OF
the crimes Of this age.
