The Canned Red Fish and Green Sea
TURTLE.

The new enterprise, of which much has
been published in the Texas press during the
past three months, is convincing evidence of
what capital and enterprise can do in our
Texas towns. The Standard Canning COM
pany, of Corpus Christi, was organized under
the laws OF Texas about January with cap
ital stock of 500 900, and only have, at pres
ent writing, about SEC, 600 actual cash in, ested
and their daily profits already show up over
SI25. This enterprise was inaugurated by
Mr. John Adamson, OF New York, one of the
principal railroad contractors and builders Of
the Gould system. It is located on the north
end Of Padre island, IS miles from Corpus.
Object-the canning Of red FISH, turtle and
oysters in the season. Building, 7sxI7s,
frame, with numerous ellis and additions,
embracing cleaning room, dressing room,
cooking room, canning and packing rooms
furnishing employment for 30 people, who
turn out so cases of goods per day. Ten men
with two nets do the fishing and gathering of
turtle. Process-The FISH from the nets are
kept alive in crates near the cleaning room,
where they are dressed and canned, only
using live fish, dead FISH being cooked
and fed to hogs. After canning they
are cooked for 90 minutes; then

can, from which escapes all foul air or gas.
After which cans are again soldered and
cooked for one hour and 90 minutes at tenn
perature of AGO Farenheit, thence to the
store room, where they remain nine days,
thence tested for bad cans, OF foul air, by a
heavy pressure by which they lose about 20
per cent, balance labeled and cased, ready
for the market. These goods are supplied to
the wholesale trade at about So per case for
red fish and So per dozen for the turtle. All
FISH under four pounds are thrown back into
the water from the nets. The company is
now putting in their own ice machine, and
when completed they will supply the Texas
people with fine salt water fish frozen in solid
ice, IL to IS fish weighing from two to four
pounds to the cake Of ice. This is a fine en-
terprise, both for Corpus Christi and the peo-
pie of Texas, and as for the capital invested
| it will pay 20 per cent. per month, and in less
than IL months will grow to 400 cases per
day to supply the demand. The goods are
fresh and delicate in flavor, far ahead of the
salmon, most delicious for picnics and cold
lunch, and for soups, chowders and a regular
fish dinner, the Cannuck red FISH can't be
beat A. b. Frank & Co. are the sole agents
for the sale of these goods in San Antonio.

A Good Race, Although the Track was
Heavy, Under the Auspices OF the WASH
ngton Driving Association.
About sevcnty-fve persons went out to the
Ivy City track yesterday afternoon to attend
the trotting matinee held under the auspices
of the Washington Driving association. The
continued rain for the last two days made
the track very heavy, although it was suili-
cicntly clear to start when the bell tapped.
There was on the card u match race, best two
in three heats between Dave Benzinger's
sorrell gclding Charley Hill and John Sim
mons's bay geldIng Idler.
The conditions of the race were that Hill
was to race Idler for $50 n side, and Idler in
turn was to beat S. Moffatts bay mare Lady
Mofatt fifty yards for the same money.
The first heat was won by Charley Hill.
In the same heat Idler distanced Lady Mot
fatt The time for the heat was 257. In the
second heat Hill again came in first, and
ldler beat Lady Moliatt. Time 800. The
judges decided that the latter was shut out of
the third heat but the owner of Molatt pro-
tested, and after little wrangle about the
terms of the race, Moilatt was allowed to
start Much dissatisfaction was caused by
this decision. The third heat was pretty
one, the horses getting away in good shape.
When the quarter pole was reached Lady
Mofiatt broke badly, and she was fully $50
yards behind at the end of the heat, which
Charley Hill won in BIO
SUMMARY.

A PHENOMENAL NORTHEASTERN.
Phenomenal not as to Size or Extent, but
as to Character.
To The Editor.

Since we have had the facilities for under
standing what storm is, the storm of the
fifteenth and sixteenth Of August, 1885, will
rank as one of the most peculiar.
Storms arc of two kinds general and local.
A general storm is one that is the result of a
storm center passing near, producing rain or
snow generally over an extended area. In
this locality we have few general storms dur
ing the warmer months of the year. The
storms of July, August, and September are
mostly local-they occur in localities one
day the storm may occur at Baltimore and
not here, another day occur at Washington
and not even be felt at Bladensburg.
On the fourteenth of August tho area of
high barometer was very extensive over the
eastern half of the United States-the old
"low" in the extreme northeast-a new "low"
way out west. The southern portion of the
eastern half of the country was cloudy, with
here and there q little rain. This being the
case, it was not expected that on the fifteenth
there would, in this locality, be more than q
light rain of short duration, but with the fif-
teenth came quiet, steady rain, which con-
tinucd on to the sixteenth Even the map of
the fifteenth did not indicate anything more
than that of the Observation-Disclosures and
light rain OF short duration. The storm on
the fifteenth proves to have been quite local
in its nature, and for such storm de-
vel0pcd far more rain than was eX-
pected. From its very nature it was
not general, nor from a fully developed
'1ow," for such quiet rains only come from
the outer lines of the storm center.
Occasionally n storm center creepS up the
coast and, for want of stations, we are not
aware of its presence until it is over our very
locality. This storm which commenced on
the fifteenth would seem to be of this nature
a local, from the outer lines of a "low," pass.
ing far to the eastward, which was travelling
from the West Indies Two or three times a
season these storms affect u.s. but at present
we have no way of forecasting them, at least
beyond which we can observe with our eyes.
When the map stands as it did ON the four.
teenth and fifteenth instant it is difficult tc
say just what will occur.
Another time it might, so far as we arc
able to sec, be similar, and yet produce quite
different results Such u negative condition
is very difficult to forecast. /. p. N.

In communication to the commissioners
by the acting attorney of the district, Mr.
Francis Miller reporting the condition of
various suits in which the district is con-
ccrned, Mr.. Miller says: Permit me to call
your attention to the fact that il has been
an opportunity Of trying its appeal cases in
the criminal court in consequence of tho pres
suro upon the court in the star route cases"
The result Of this state of affairs for which
tho court Is in no way responsible is virtual
immunity from punishment to violator of
local ordinance, who when fined for any of
fenso in the police court can furnish bonds
for an appeal and hear nothing more of the
case until II year after, whom tho evidence
against him is almost unattainablc. Efforts
will be made TO dispose of these cases us
promptly rs possible upon the reOpening of
the court.

THE WATERMELON SEASON.

They are Coming tn by Thousands and
Probably the Market Will be GIutted.
The wholesale vegetable and fruit mart ON
B street near tho center market presented a
lively scene last evening as d REPUBLICAN
reporter passed down that thoroughfare be-
tween huge piles of luscious watermelons
stocked upon the sidewalk and street an d
hundreds of barrels of New Virginia sweet
potatoes.
"How is the watermelon market?" queried
the reporter, addressing q wholesale dealer
who had just Tailed 1000 in counting an as
signment that had been unloaded from sew
eral large wagons.
80, it's brisk enough" he replied "plenty
of melons on the market and lively demand
for them"
"Are large shipments arriving daily?"
Yes; should judge that between 10000
and 10000 have been received from all sources
during the past forty-eight hours"
" How do the prices range ~
" From SO to $15 per hundred, and they may
become cheaper if they continue to come in
so freely"
"How about sweet potatoesT queried the
reporter, cycling several barrels of very fine
ones.
Large numbers of them are coming in
daily from Virginia." he replied, and they
range in price from So to $3.50 per barrel
There are lots of peaches on the market, too, -
he concluded, "and they are selling from 81
to $1.75 per bushel."
Other dealers were interviewed with the
same result, which indicates that there may
be "glut" of watermelons on tho mark,S
| ere long.
