Fish Notes.

The largest Matching establishment for the
propagation Of speckled trout in the United
States is now being erected IN Maine. During
the month of June, Geo. Shepard Page, ESQ.,, of
N. Y, president of the 0quossoc Angling Asso-
citation; Henry o. Stanley, ESQ.,, assistant fish
commissioner of Maine, and Mr.. Geo. o. Hay
ford, practical fish culturist, obtained control
for their purposes of " Letter Dr. township in
Franklin county, which gave them possession of
the spring-f fed waters of !" Bema Stream" one
of the most remarkable places for the spawning
OF trout to be found in the country. This stream
flows into Mooselucmeguntic Lake, one of the
Androscoggin chain known the Rangeley
Lakes, and the trout are the famous Rangeley
trout, remarkable for their great size and supe-
rior favor. Three miles from the mouth of this
stream are series of extraordinary springs,
with a temperature of about 40 degrees the year
through. Over these the Matching house is
being erected, and it is even possible for the
trout, If they frequent their former haunts to
actually depos,. their own spawn in the hatch
contracted to supply the lakes upon which the
camp of the club is located with one hundred
thousand young fry per year, and they expect
to take at least one million eggs this fall and to
hatch ninety per cent. of ISem by the dry or
Russian method of impregnatiOn. They will
be able to supply eggs or young fry in great
abundance, and very cheaply, thus rendering
public benefit. The day is rapidly coming when
1t will be as easy to have speckled trout in
season as spring chickens.

going through a bridge west of Omaha did not
cease his efforts as consequence. He went
back, and it being too late for anything but
shad, he took car load of young fry but one
day old when they started, and in eight DAYS
placed them safely in the head-waters of Sacra-
mentO river.
-Blue-fshing is now at its height, and the
catches are reported to be very fine on the
Long Island coast, especially at Canarsie and
Sheepshead Bay. Some OF our sportsmen are
going over to try it.
The bass fishing on the upper Potomac and
its tributaries gives promise of being unusually
fine during August. 1t will have many devotees
frem among our summer tourists.
Horseback parties still go out from Oak
land, on the b. & o. X. B., thirty miles south
over the backbone of the Alleghanies, to the
head waters of the Cheat river, like the north
fork and south fork of the Blackwater, for
instance, where the trout run by the million.

The Navy Department Fire.

INVESTIGATION AS TO ITS oRIGIN-suPPoeRp
TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED By SPONTANEOUS
COMBUSTION.
The Navy department is to-day investigating
as to the origin Of the fire which damaged the
building yesterday. 1t seems to be the general
opinion that the fire broke out in room Is, on
the third noor, occupied by the clerks OF the
finance office. The day previous to the fire
Mr.. Burgdorff, a furniture dealer in this CITY,
had two of his men employed in oiling and 9TH
erwise repairing the furniture in the building
They were at work in room 16 till 6 O'Clock D.
m. on the day previous to the IRE, and 1t Is the
supposition that the cloths used by them, hea-
Willy satured with linseed oil and ether
cOmbustible material, were thrown under the
washstand and that later in the night sponta-
neous combustion ensued. Mr.. Burgdorff has
been requested to notify the men to appear at
the Navy department to morrow morning at 10
O'Clock, at which time the truth of the SUPPOSE
ton will be developed. Workmen are to-day
engaged in placing a roof on the burnt portion
of the building.

ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATIONS NEEDED FOR
THE METROPOLITAN BRANCH
The following was received yesterday by the
Board Of Public Works:
BALTIMORE, July y, 1873.
Hon. a. r. Shepherd, Vice President Board Of
Pubic Works, Washington, ID. c.:
My Dear Sir The opening Of the Metropol-
Tan railroad has so largely increased our BUSH
ness at Washington that we have found il
utterly impossible, with our present accOmmo.
danons, to handle cars satisfactorily 70 con-
signees. In looking over the ground with Chief
Engineer Randolph, have decided TO ask per-
mission OF the board temporarily TO put in two
short sidings in the triangular lot at the inter-
section of Delaware avenue and LIST street. he
tween @ and II streets. We should also like the
privilege Of putting down temporarily on LIST
street east from Delaware avenue, running
north two additional tracks.
OF course this privilege is only asked until such
times as We can perfect our permanent arrange
ments, which, i can assure you, are receiving
my constant attention, and upon which, trust
II viii not be long before we shall be In a posi-
ton TO go actively at work. The opening Of the
Metropolitan road has added largely 70 our
business at Washington already; our agent,
MI hoontz, reporting an average Of eighty-f
loaded cars per day have been received, and
that for want Of room he Is constantly Obliged
TO hold the freight at Point of Rocks until he
can make room for IL in the yard.
i am, sir, very respectfully. yours,
WIN. RKYsER,
2d vice president BALTIC. and OHIO II. r. Co.
The board returned a reply that they have no
objections 10 allowing this temporary arrange
ments to be made in view of the needs of our
people for increased railroad facilities.

THR PENNSYLVANIA COAL TRADR-The
Mauch Chunk Gazette, in noticing the falling
off of coal production in that region for the past
week, says ait is attributable to two causes
the 4th of July holidays and the intentional
lessening of production by the operators" We
see it stated, which is an additonaI cause, that
the miners of the Empire colliery there are on
a strike for increase Of pay, and business there
Coal and Navigation company's men at New
port, it is also reported, have struck for higher
wages, and were still out at last report. We
adhere to our opinion, expressed weeks ago
that the parties controlling the trade will not
permit an overstock of coal on the market, and
that in consequence coal prices can scarcely be
lower this year, and they may be higher.-PAil-

The Forged Order for the Certificate
Books
ANOTHER ARREST.

ANoIhkk ARREST.
Last night Detectives NcDevftt and Nc
Elfresh returned 90 this city from Piedmont
virginia, where they went on Monday evening
last. They brought home with them John eat
ing, whom they took into custody at Piedmont,
charged with being the person who, by means
OF forged order, obtained two of the books
containing blank certificates of indie btedness of
the Board Of Public Works some DAYS since. II
will be remembered that the detectives recently
nlade an arrest OF a man named Clark in
Philadelphia, on the same charge, hut on
bringing him 20 this city the Messrs Gibson,
who printed the blanks, failed 20 recognize him
as the person who obtained the blanks, and he
was dismissed on his own recognizance for a
hearing. Previous TO the officers going 10
Philadelphia, Information had been given 70
Detective McElfresh that Mr.. Heating had APP
preached certain parties in this city, suggesting
mat "big money" could be made by means OF
these blanks which could be easily obtained,
and tie names and amounts written in, and
that no one would be any wiser; that the
parties thus approached rejected the proposal,
seeming the very idea Of being engaged in such
transaction, and that Heating injoined upon
them the strictest secrecy ia relation TO the
subject. 1t also came 10 the knowledge of the
officers; that after the discovery was made OF
the loss OF the books. Heating was seen TO have
some blanks in his possession, said 70 belong To
the missing books. This morning the Messrs
Gibson were summoned 20 headquarters but
Mr. George Gibson failed TO recognize Heating
as the person who presented the forged ocder
and soon afterwards his brother, Mr.. John Glib
son, came in and could not identity him. These
gentlemen say that the nan wore whiskers
and Heating has none, but wears a moustache
Mr.. w. A. Cook, with Mr.. j. G. Law, auditor
of the Board OF Public Works, were In consul
tation with the officers at Headquarters this af-
ternoon, and concluded, in view OF what has
been stated above, TO hold the prisoner for a
further hearing to- morrow.

had come from Baltimore and was an agent
but giving no name. He was in appearance a
young man, probably not over thirty, with black
Mhlskers. The following day team driven by
VIM. L. Udder ZoOk drove up to the tavern and
the "agent" was invited by Udderzook to take
ride, and accepting the invitation they went
away together. The team was hired by Udder-
zook at Parkersburg. In the evening it was
returned, and it was remarked by some one Ia
king IL in charge that there was blood upon it,
which was explained by plausible story. I'd
