The Oyster Law.
Editor Morning Xews: Before reply -
iogtothe personal attach upon myself In
your issue of Sept. 9, 1 must make some
general observations, but <ny first duty
shall be a vindication of Ensign Drake —an
honorable southern gentleman and an offi
cer of the United States navy, who has
been accnsed of having been merely on a
junketing tour, and. having been bribed to
omit some of the natural beds of Chatham
county on his charts. Ensign Drake has
friends and connections in our city, having
married the daughter of Dr. W. N. King,
formerly of Savannah. Sood after the ar
rival of the schooner Ready in our waters
Mr. R. Rail and my eldest son, at Ensign
brake's request, Indicated on separate
charts the natural beds as far south as Sapelo
island without any regard to their eora
, arative degree of exhaustion, and natur
ally the nearer home the more exact wers
tbs Indications, and 1 do not believe a sin
gle one of ihe least consequence was omitted
in Chatham county.
He was. of oourso, not guided in his sur.
rey by the objectionable and unfortunate
definition of a natural bed mow repealed
of the law of ISB9 that ground became ai
natural bed in proportion oe it could be
proven to have been fished or resorted to,
and therefore exhausted, and under which
the valuable beds of the loner counties have
been taken up iD violation of the intent of
the law under the pretext that they had never
been previously resorted to by means ol
toogi by the public. Ensign Drake pro
ceeded under the ouiv proper and lawful
definition, a? fixed by Judge Goldsborougb
of Maryland: "Land cannot be said to be a
natural oyster bar, or bed, merely because
oysters are scattered bare or there upon It;
but wherever tbe natural growth Is so
thick and abundant that the public resort
to It foi a livelihood, it ir a natural bar
or bed” Wherever, therefore, he found
by persona! eiaroination that an
of these indicated beds failed to oome up
to this requisition be omitted them, know
ing that private oooupancy and cultivation
were tbe only meaue of still preserving
them for the future general welfare These
examination.' can be made so accurately
that the number of oysters tc the square
yard are calculated Prof. Brooks, of the
jobus Hopkins Univeraitv, tbe best author
ity on tbe subject in the United States (pos
nbly in tbe world), eaysi "After an oyster
bed is thoroughly exhausted there is no
reason why another natural bod should
ever grow up in the same tpot rather than
anywhere else. Even if tbe waters are
loaded with spat from adjacent beds, there
is no reason why the young should gain a
foothold on the site of the exterminated
bed. The regrowth of such a bed is, there
fore, exactly like the original formation of
a natural bed, and it must be a very slow
process indeed. How slow it Is Tory diffi
cult to say, as we bavo very little infru ma
tiou which wdl help us to deoide, although
we have facts to show that a century
may not be long enough.’’ In connec
tion with this danger of wiping
these natural bds out of existence
and of Ensign Drake’s omission to indi
cate them I submit a letter received to-day
from Mr. John D. Battle for publication.
The writer was a class and room-mate at
college of our esteemed fellow-citizen Hon.
K. G. dußignorr and an assistant of Ensign
Drake’s.
If Ensign Drake was bribed the Inference
is that I must hovo been the briber. The
survey was made through my Instrumental
ity, and Mr. Drake and myself became inti
mate. Atter he had finished his work here,
without reflecting about the impropriety, I
wrote to him at Brunswick inquiring wheth
er he considered Wilmington river fit for
artificial oyster culture, and receiving no
reply asked the question subsequently, but
again in vain. I never knew hia opinion
until I saw it in his report after the lease
had been granted. Very properly ho had
first to report to the government before be
could do so to Dr. Oemlor.
The legislature of ISB9 provided for the
appuiutment of a commission, which was
to recommend wbat future legislation would
be necessary for tbe development of the
oyster industry, ana amendments were,
therefore, contemplated at that time. My
bill, as it passed tbe House, was in strict
conformity with the recommendations of
the commission, and was prepared soon
after the visit of that body to Brunswick.
One of the most important then, and
always urged by myself, was the preserva
tion of*the yet valuable natural beds, not
merely in order to support a few people
precariously for a few years still, but be
cause they are indispensable to any new
oyster companies. From the very first I
have contended, and do now contend, that I
cave devised the safest,most unquestionable
and conclusive means to that end in the
adoption of Bulletin No. 19 in such manner
as shall obviate litigation. This question
concerns the welfare of the state, and not
merely the access to a fow exhausted beds of
Chatham county of a certain number of
oystermen. No claim is made that any have
been omitted in any other ocunty, for there
they have never been fished so excessively.
™*oot this reservation, whioh the adoption
of Bulletin No. 19seoures, $22,000 will be lost
to the school fund, and 22,000 aores will not
be returned for taxation at a possible val
uation of $2,200,000. I did say I had beard,
or read, that Mr. Lewis had applied in Con
necticut for persons to take out leases, but
never in violation of the law in order to
secure natural beds; and I prefer to leave
vebemency, venom and vindictiveness to
others.
fhe bill as framed by myself and Intro
duced by Maj. Ryals had no validating
clause Neither he nor myself, are there
fore, responsible for that Senate amend
ment.
Both he and 1 stated that my bill had
ceen left at Thunderbolt for examination,
out neither of us mentioned Bulletin No. 19
as having been exhibited there. On* could
have been seen in the office of the county
cotnmissionerß however.
About ten days befora the conference
as to take place, and did afterward take
place at Mr. Clifton’s office, 1 a9kea him to
notify all parties In Interest to attend it.

wa tbe longest interview 1 bare bad
with him upon any oyster question
since the passage of the law of 18S9. Re
plying to the article id the Times of Sept. T
J inform vou that tbe Georgia Benevolent
Fishing Society has notified the dealers that
Its members will no longer sell oysters at
former prices, owing to tbe ruin of tbe nat
ural beds. 1 beard of the intention to issue
it# printed oiroular through Mr. A. von
Nyenbeim before tbe close of the last ovster
season and long before any new oyster legis
lation. That article In tbe Timet is a tissue
of nonsense and misrepresentations from
beginning to end
1 oommenoed my agitation for a proteot
iv oyster iaw six years ago from a desire
to esv the natural beds from impending
destruction. Maryland has 123,520 acres of
wbot were tbe moss magnificent oyster beds
on tbs globe, or seventy timer a9 much as
Georgia, but they have uow beoome sc
rnucb depleted in consequence of the
Ignorance of a class similar to niv
present opponents, that Maryland
oyster packers are removing to
our state to pursue their industry under our
law. Before its enactment ,or in 1957, ac
cording to the report of tbe United Btates
fisheries, 850 laborers were supported bv
ravaging the natural beds of the whole
state. Now 1,500 laborers are employed by
the oyster factories at Brunswick alone. If
there are any of my fellow cltizsns, who
think that tba employment of 1,500 laborers,
tbe establishment of fivejoyster and vegeta
ble canning factories, requiring a capital
of 8200,000 within our borders, the deposit
of SB,OOO into tbe school fund and the
entry of 8,000 acres more of land
for taxatiin than ever before, are achieve
ments I should not be proud of, thou such,
and auoh only, should be obstructionists to
future progre s. On the other hand all
such intelligent enough to argue for the
future from the past should lend a helping
hand in what I honestly consider uu effort
to promote the publio wellfara, and in
which I shall persevere, Mr. Desvergers ‘ ‘ot
sui generis” to the contrary notwithstand

Tbe following is the letter of Mr. Battle
referred to in tbe communication:

Dear Sir—Yours ©f Aug. .30 just at hand.
Since its receipt I have examined Drake's
report, United States C. and G S. Bulletin
No. 19, wuh our charts attached. You are aware
that it was necessary to cover a large area lu a
limited period of time, and. therefore, tho ship's
oorapany was divided, Drake having charge of
one party aud I tbe other. When we were in
that locality 1 examined the Half Mojq river,
the lower part of Tybee and Lazaretto creek;
Drake the upper part of Tybee and Shad rivers,
aad as I find uo oysters des
ignated In this latter river, I con
elude that Drake considered the natural
oyster beds so much depleted by ovorflehing as
to be Inconsiderable, that is. that an oystermau
could uot matte a living ou them. Drake is one
of the most thoroughly conscientious and
thorough moo iu his work tnat I have ever hail
the pleasure to meet, aud 1 do not doubt that
tbe movement made is due to the animosity of
a few malevolent*. This makes the fourth
southern state whose waters have been surveyed
in part by me. and I have found a few people of
tbe same ilx in each ami every one of them,and
whose agency in every ca.se has tended to re
tard the rapid development of oyster cultivation
in the southern states. Some of these malcon
tents are so ignorant that they cannot
see or won’t, that they have all the
rights which they have heretofore had
over the eatna territory of natural oyster
beds, which have been defined and 83t
apart for this particular class by the different
surveys, and they do not seem to realize that
their condition will be so much improved by the
outlay of capital in developing ths barren
grounds in their vicinity.
Wo are now examining and defining the
limits of the natural oyster beds In Tangier
sound and marking the great depletion which
has taken place here. Under the old state of
affairs, a tew more years will totally wreck
these magnificent grounds which have been so
productive in the past. Nature cannot ronro
duce in her slow way the increasing demand. I
havo finished the report aud charts of South
Carolina, and they are cow being published by
the United States fish commissioner. As soon
as they are completed I will have a copy sent
to you. John D. Battle.
ALL ABOUT THAT OALF
Which la Brought to the Attention of
the Public Again.
Editor Morning News: I believe that
the people of Savannah have rend enough
about the calf 1 shot on Gwinnett street,
but I have to bring this question before the
pubiio again just to show what buslneos Is.
On the morning of Aug. 23 it was reported
ot the barraok* that a calf was run over by
ao electrio car and had been lying on
Gwinnett street sir.os fl p. m, the night before
in a helpless and dying condition. The in
former could getnc satisfaction. Then 1 was
called upon and shot the calf at 1:38 p. m.
after tbe poor atlmal bad suffered for nine
teen hours Al 3p. m I telephoned to the
barracks to notify the scavenger depart
ment that there was a dead calf to be re
moved. Aug 27, 10 ant the owner of the
calf wa bound to remove It at his own
expense as it began to smell bad, and no
scavenger wag u made Its appearance up to
that tune. Aug. 28, CHief of Folios Green
stopped me on the street and asked mo the
following quostloue.
y. “Did job pal too arttolo about the
calf tn the paperf”
A. “1 did, sir.”
y. “Whas do you Ruow about the
policemen'ii duty! Do you think we are a
scavenger department!”
A “I do not, sir."
*‘l will put you on the docket for firing a
pistol witbin tbe city limits,” says tbe
chief.
1 t >la him, ”Do what you please,”
but I would like "to know
what you would have done in my posi
tion P’ The chief replied that he would
6lmplj wait until the calf died, *'We have
nothing to do with cruelty to animals. It
is none of our business. You have no right,
nor have lot any other policeman to fire a
pistol within the city limits, except In self
defense." These are the words Chief. Green
used.
His honor Mayor MoDonough {peaks
quite differently.
Jan. 8, 1889, a policeman shot a wounded
horse on Drayton aud Broughton streets.
About six months ago a policeman shot a
sick cat near Keiffer’* drug 6tore, Vi est
Broad street- Aug. 23, 1891, a veterinary
eurgeon shot and killed a wounded horse
on Abercoru street. There is a state law
and also a city ordinance against cruelty to
animals, and Cbief Green says bis depart
ment has nothing to dc with it.

TRUE STRINGS SEA 3TORIE J.
3h!ps Tossed on Unruly Seas In Fine
Weather.
Prom the -Veto York Sun.
Tbe one writer of sea storiei who of all
other* ha? o regular constituency ao to speak
among the seafaring people; tbe one whose
stories, no matter how strange or unusual
they may be. are always read with atten
tion and respect; the one, moreover, that
Is the most prolific of all sea writers is the
hydrographic officer at Washington. There
are two tbingß to be said of his stories
which command them to seafaring men;
they are true and they are short. Besides
that, some of them are exceedingly strange.
If George W. Cable or some other writer
would collect tbe "Strauge True Stories of
the Sea," he would find the task fascinating
to himself aud the result interesting to the
reader.
Tbe last publication of tho hydrographic
office —the periodical for September—is a
fair sample of the story-telling ability of
the hydrographer, aud contains tiireo
strange stories, besides a host of tales of
such thrilling experiences in storms as
would make a landstnau’s hair stand on end
were they related in graphic detail.
On Aug. 23 the British steamship Robert
Barrowing, Capt. Hughson, was about 750
miles east of the capes of the Del-ware. It
it a quiet part of tbe sea, not at all specially
subject to storms or unusual happenings
such as one might look for in the Caribbean
sea, but at “10:30 o'clock that morning,
although the wind was light, the sea sud
denly became so much agitated that the
waves poured over the ship’s sides, filling
her well deck completely full. Then the sea
subsided again, and by 1 p. ui, it was a dead
fiat under a calm.
The British ship Ben Cruachan, Capt.
Roberts, had a similar experience on
April 25 lost. She was then ia the In
dian ocean, about half way bet ween Ceylon
and Sumatra, when at 5:41 o’clock in the
afternoon, without any previous warning,
the ship began to tremble as if in a colli
sion with some hidden wreck, and so con
tinued for seventy-five seconds. A heavy
swell from the southeast arose, while there
was an unusual convulsion of the water in
addition to tbe swell. According to ths
hydrographer, both of these experiences
were due to earthquakes.
Another strange story that is quite as
remarkable as, though le3s striking than the
others, was that related of the German
steamer Scandia, Capt. Kopif, which at 8
o’clock on the morning of July 19, in lati
tude 44* 05' north, and 48” 31' west, en
countered a strong current about one-third
of a mile wide, a sea river, running from
north to south with such velocity that while
crossing it the steamer’s helm had to be nut
over 15“ to counteract its influence. The
water was 2° colder in ths current than on
either side of it. Its banks were very well
marked in the water. This is a part of the
sea vory often crossed, but no such phenom
enon lias been noticed there, a fact that sug
gests tho existence of a current flowing from
north to south beneath the gulf stream,
which may now and the i break through to
the surface as sub-currents in rivers aro
known to do.
Among the tales of perils by storms was
that of the British steamship JTynedale,
Capt. Love. She was in the Gulf of Lyons
when a gale came on very suddenly, with a
sea that rose more rapidly than the wind.
The waves were so thigh and steep that the
ship had no chance to rise—they buried her
almost out of sight at every blow they
struck her. In this emergency the cargo
shifted and tho steering gear carried away.
She drifted helplessly for two days, when"
the wind and tbe sea went down as rapidly
as they had come up.
Then there was tbe Britteh bark Enma
Payzaut, Capt. Dexter. In a gale off the
American coast the vessel was thrown on
her beam ends, and there rolled in the hurri
cane for two days wholly unmanageable.
The case of each ship near hopeless
as one could well imsgipe. Lighter gales
and less trying circumstances have oftea
sent as good ships as these to the bottom,
and for forty-eight hours the crews were on
dock facing what seemed to be certain death
tu a most terrifying form. But they pulled
through with no loss of life and compara
tively small damage to the ship, because in
both cases there was an abundant supply of
oiloa board suitable for smoothing the
coni tiers. 'The waves that were burying the
Tynedale oea-ed to break as soon as tbe oil
tiegau to spread, while the bafk rose and
fell, even if on her beam ends, without
strain as soon as the oil was used. It was
becauso of the saving effect of the oil that
the stories wore printed by the hydro
gropher.
The last strange true sea story to be told
Is‘that of the great hurricane at Martinique.
Because it shows the sailor’s idea of the way
to tell a story of that kind the hydrogra
plier’e report is given in full;
‘'Reports received by telegraph 9tate that
a very severe hurricane was experienced iu
Martinique op the evening of Aug. 18,
causing great destruction to life and prop
erty and the loss of numerous vessels. The
official report is said to state that the loss of
life was 618 and of property J 10,000,000.
TheJ data thus far received are too incom
plete to aliow of plotting the track of the
with any certainty, although it
appears to have moved about west north
west over Sail Domingo and thence north
ward and eastward. It is desired to collect
as complete information as possible, in
order to publish a more complete account.”

CLAIMS TO EAVS SEEN HEAVEN.
Strange Story Told by a Hoosiar Who
Lost and Regained His speech.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 7.—The case
of George W. Matthews of this city in en
gaging the attention of tbe medical and
theological professions. About four weeks
ago the press gave an account of Matthews’
strange affliction. Without warning he was
suddenly deprived of spsech while retain
ing his mental faculties, an I for days while
awake he walked bis room like one in a
a trance.
Among those who became Interested in
the ease of Matthews was the Hev. James
Bartlett, of the New Hess Congregational
church. To him Matthews recently wrote
that ho would soon rogaui his voice and
that he would then tell of the wouderful
things that had fceeu revealed to him.
After twenty-ieven days his word silence
was broken last Thursday, the first words
spoken being the first sentence of the
Lord’s prayer, after which he broke forth
into singing “Praise God, From Whom AU
Blessings Fow.”
To-night Matthew* addressed a large
number of his friends at his home. His
pronunciation was at times indistiuot. He
told a striking story of hi* experience dur
ing the period of his duel ness. He told"
that ho had visions in whioh the celestial
city had been revealed to him, and bis de
scription of scenes aud his intercourse with
thoso gone before was interesting in the ex
treme.
While tn his speechloss s’ate he told that
he had revealed to him the fact of his
daughter’s death ia Illinois.
Matthews insist* that he has been tbs sub
ject of a divine visitation, and when he has
fully recovered he will become an evan
gelist. Physicians and minister* oonsider
the case of Matthews one of the strangest
that has ever come under their observation.
A SICK HiAJ,
a faint feeling, a bad taste in the mouth,
laok of appetite, despondency, Irritability
all arise from & disordered stomach. A

these troubles and prevent them in the
