Shad Up the Delaware.


Howell's Cove, the famous fishing
grounds below Gloucester City, was alive
with "gill-net" fishermen Tuesday, who
were eagerly taking advantage of the
absence of the great SOC. fathom seine to
secure as many shad as possible, for the
shore-net fisheries are violently opposed
to the "gillers" and drive them away
whenever opportunity offers. 1t had
been intended to cast the great net yes
terday ON the second flood tide, but the
chilly weather kept the shad from coming
up in sufficient numbers to warrant the
undertaking, which requires force of 80
men and entails some expense. The fish
caught yesterday, although few i'll mum
Der, were exceptionally fine in size and
weight, few Of them weighing less than
six pounds, and several OF them tipped
the beam at nine and ten pounds. A
planked slad dinner was given at Thomp-
sons Hotel in the afternoon, and the
quality of the fish was pronounced to be
excellent for so early in the season. Ii
weather warns up at all to-day the
Gloucester fishery will begin operations
on the early flood tide and continue to
make four hauls every day until the
close of the season on the 10th of June.

ANotenorthx presentation.

Some years ago thirteen American Odd
Fellows We're appointed to introduce the
Order in Germany, of which band the late
Henry Pretzschner of this city was one.
The mission was one Of some peril as the
existence of Odd Fellowship was then
frowned upon by the German Govern
ment. But the thirteen succeeded in
planting three lodges, which have since
grown to l42, and the brotherhood is now
privileged to work in the light as here.
Photographs OF these emissaries were
taken in cluster and framed, only two
of which are now known to be in exist
ence. One these was presented to Brandy
wine Lodge, oil Rokeby, last Saturday
night. The presentation was made by
David W. Thompson, on behalf of Mrs.
pretzschner, and received by Samuel
Moore on behalf of the lodge.

Two Small Scale Burglaries sunday
Night.

Between II and o'clock Sunday night
thieves entered the residence of George
D. Armstrong, 500 Washington street, by
forcing open the back door. They were
heard by one of the ladies in the house,
and hastily decamped upon finding that
they were discovered. They were not
seen by any one. They were doubtless
frightened away before securing any
booty, as nothing has been missed from
the house.
Another burglary was attempted at the
residence of Clement b. Smyth, SIS West
street, the thief entering by way of a
transom over rear door. In this case
the intruder was also frightened away
before securing anything.

Judge Bradford would be ii, in his judicial

Performed this duty TO the best of their

The closing argument In this important
case. He characterized the rejection OF

went on TO say that if they had made
fair and impartial decision in rejecting
Matthew'S vote, then he had no hestsncy
In saying they were guilty OF no offence
Mr.. Patterson closed at l.3O and Judge
Bradford proceeded to charge the Jury OF
the point requested by the defendant
counsel, viz: that unless they acted from
fraudulent and illegal motives the in
spectors were not guilty of any wrongful
act.
The Court said the first point for thu
lnry's consideration was, did Matthew
nave right to vote. Secondly, having
right to vote was his vote rejected
Thirdly, did the inspectors knowingl,
and wilfully refuse legal vote.
As for the notion that the place wher
man has his washing done has an.
thing to do with his residence, that
entirely false.
In regard to the guilt of the inspectors
that must be determined by considering
the evidence they had before them whel
they rejected the vote, and not by cor

brought out at this trial. On the evi
dence they had, did these inspector
