There was only small part Of the

Hatching Fish.
THE SYSTEM TO BE USED ON BOARD OF
THE FISH HAWK.

THE FISH HAWK.
Major T. B. Ferguson Of Baltimore,
designed the Fish Hawk the new
steamer built for the U. 8. Fishery
Commission, by the Pusey & Jones
Company. He has thus described the
method Of Matching to reporter:
"The method permits not only Of
great extension In Matching fish but
adds TO the facilities of transporting
eggs or young fish. The fish can be
caught BY the men employed in the
service and, once the eggs secured, the
Matching can be carried ON ON ship
board by means Of apparatus. 1t is
also possible, by means Of a steamer,
to secure eggs in certain rivers or bays,
hatch them and carry them hundreds
Of miles TO other points Of delivery or
distribution. To. accomplish this and
to make room for such special appara-
tus there Ii an open space on the main
deck of the Fish Hawk 40 by 81 feet.
Here will be placed the conical-shaped
vessel. through which will pour con-
tinuous streams Of water, which move
ment Ii absolutely necessary when shad
eggs are to be matured. Another me
chanical device which In to be put in
place Is q system for the same pur-
pose. Cylindrical vessels, with wire
bottoms, by means Of projecting
beams, which stand out from the sides
of the vessel, plunge these vessels con-
tanning eggs into the water and with
draw them by means of peculiar
cam, which movement win be given by
machinery. An agitation is necessary
for shad eggs, with change of water.
and a. these eggs are heavier than wa
ter the vessels containing them are
lifted slowly, so as not to break the
tender eggs, and plunged again into
the water more suddenly. The same
method win be tried with the eggs OF
the cod, only as these eggs are lighter,
and they require to be buoyed up, the
reverse movement viii be employed.
The Fish Hawk, equipped rs she is for
this special work, marks the most not
able advance that has yet been made
in practical fish culture, and, no doubt,
her plan of construction and methods
employed in Matching fish, looking to-
ward the production Of fish-food in the
future, win be copied by other coun-
tries." .

DESPERATE ENCOUNTER ON THE LINE
BErwEEN CHESTER AND LANCASTER
COUNTIRa

bhoF1hATh ENCOUNTER ON THE LINE
BErwKEN CHESTER AND LANCASTER
COUNTIES.
Milton Bush, young man living
near Ross Fording, Chester county,
just over the Lancaster line, had des-
perate encounter with highwaymen a
couple Of nights ago. He had started
to visit a friend in Lancaster county,
and had just crossed q foot bridge over
the Octoraro, near the fording, when
he was halted by two large and des-
perate-looking men--one white and
the other colored-who demanded his
money or his life. The negro levelcd
a cooked revolver at him, when Bush
exclaimed: sDon't shoot until ! can
get the money" Drawing his seven
shooter he fired at the negro, and four
shots were rapidly exchanged, one of
them passing through the brim of
Bush's hat and grazing his hair. The
third shot struck him on the breast,
producing a stinging pain, but not dis
abling him, and he returned the fire,
the shot taking effect upon the negro,
who made an exclamation of alarm and
ran away. The white scoundrel then
rushed upon Bush with knife, deal
ing blow at his heart, but he skill
fully averted it. A second thrust was
made, which penetrated the coat sleeve
OF Bush, who then closed with his
antagonist and a desperate scuffie en-
sued, during which the knife fell to
the ground. Bush got his antagonist
down, but. after dealing him several
blows with his fist, the villain over
powered him and again secured his
knife. Bush, being now too faint to
continue the combat, fed. When he
reached home an examination of his
person and clothing showed that the
bullet which had caused the singing
pain had struck a nickle Scent piece
in his vest pocket, and his life was
doubtless thereby saved. ! Great indig-
nation is felt In the vicinity against
the perpetrators Of the outrage, who
are still at large.

Cinctssssatt Wins.


Tnn DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL coNvEN-
TON TO BE HELD In THAT CITY on
JUNE 40. s.f..I.
So! WASHINGTON, Feb. 70, 1880
This Convention which the Democratic
National Committes will call tomorrow
will b. held In Cincinnati from June 10
to 10 Beyond nxing the dime and place
Of holding the Convention, the commit
tee will transact no business. There has
been great riyslry between Cincinnati,
80. Loufs and Chicago, but It was Per
fectly clesr even, last night, that Cinein-
natl would win. Chicago WAS really out
Of the question. 1t would NOT do for
TO hold two conventions In the same
city. They would be confronted after
ward with our American habit Of desig-
ings By the cities In which they were
held. Moreover, the Chicago hotel 1eo-
pie have shown q srasping dispostfio9
SINCE they secured the Republican con
veption, which Of itself would be suffic-
lent to prevent smother Convention
gong. thither, until st least another
Renefation Of Bonilaces have succeeded
the preseLt one. A between St. Louis
aud UihcinAati ,iit has lbeeu merely q
queatton, of convenience to delegates,
which the committee very properly ana
wisely has taken into consideration. 1t
is absolutely certain that the Tilden
men whs control the committee have
had no particular preference. The Tam
many strikers. who have made them
selves very Extensively conspicuous
about the hotel lobbies here, have been
talking loudly for Bsltimore, Boston,
Washington, or some Eastern city.
They have bad no influence, whatever,
one way or the other, although they will
doubtless CLAIM that they won victory
when It is formally decided that the Oon-
vention will be held In Cincinnati. -

Police Court,

Al the police court, yesterday morn
Ing, EsquiIe O'Neill presiding, Isaac
Nickerson, COL, was fined 81 and the
costs of the case for committing an as
sault and battery on his wife, and three
cases Of drunkenness were disposed OF
with the usual penalties.
Last night Esquire O'Neill still acted
as Mayor and Sergeant Jones occupied
the Chiefs chair. The first victim was a
sleepy-looking yellow negro named VIM.
Gamble, against whom officer Carey
testified, saying that he found him on
Market street, between Front and Sec
ond, yesterday afternoon, very drunk
and very noisy. William protested that
he was sober and quiet, with a full
knowledge of what he was doing, and
that the officer stopped him as he was on
bis way home. To this officer Carey re-
piled that people around the neighbor-
hood had complained to him that Gam
BILE had been engaged in the disagreeable
occupation OF fighting dogs during the
day. "'Tis false" said William, tragi-
cally. "One dollar and COSTS" said Es-
quire O'Neill, and the curtain dropped,
David Hinson, q little bullet-headed
negro, with sparkling eyes and slippery
tongue, was next arrAigned. Officer Nc
Ilhenny testified that during the after.
noon Hinson had been whooping and
yelling in the vicinity Of Eighth and
Walnut streets, and that he was in the
habit Of doing this whenever any police
men were around, and Of gazing upon
the officers in the most contemplate and
tantallzing manner. In fact, of being as
aggrayatinI rs possible without actually
violating the law. David, with great
volubility, insisted that he was ''doin
nothin'" and that the officer called him
hard names anu then struck him iu the
face. His story did not "go down." anc
he was fined 81 and the costs OF the case
