HAWKINS RISES TO SAY
THAT BAD REPORTERS TRIED
TO LEAD HIM ASTRAY
BY OFFERS OF FoAMING BEER.
A terrible Charge Against Two "Hostiis
Reporters" by Officers Detailed To Watch
Thieves.

Chief of Police James L. Hawkins appears
70 be considerably ruffied at the kindly per-
eonal mention of him in the GAZETTE and
EVery EUeftng of yesterday, as will be seen
oy the following from his official organ:
"A reporter of The Morning Nems inter
viewed Chief of Police Hawkins and the SER
geants who were present at the sporting ex-
hibiting at CarrelPs saloon, on Water stree.
on tuesday evening. 1t appears that the
oIncers were detailed to go to Carroll's
saloon and see that there was no violation
oil the law and to spot the thieves who are
usually expected to follow such shows. No
violation OF the law occurred possibly owing
10 their presence, and the rats were kilIed
In the pic as usual. The officers did NOT ac-
cept the invitation of hostile newspaper re-
porters to drink in the place, and no refiec-
tion can be cast upon the Chief of Police or
his assistants, who were there simply to pre-
vent violation Of the law"
Ii the officers were "detailed'' to visit the
saloon.it was not exactly the proper thing
1or them to send a courier ahead to the
etect that they would be present to esnot
thieves" As matter of fact 1t was known
early In the evening that "the Chief will he
mere and he Is going TO be presented with
SKYE terrier" There was hardly man In
the party who did not know it.
Ihe gathering was very orderly one,
SNN~PS N"AhE W INC pEtstuce OF LQe OIL
GERS, one of whom, on two or three occa-
sions, admonished a very talkative drunken
man to 'shut up now and sit down" The
rats were "killed in the pit''-decidedly
killed. "The officers did not accept the in.
vtation of hostile newspaper reporters 10
drink In the place." 1t is true, from the
simple fact that no invitation was extended
to that effect to the officials in citizens
clothes. And the Chief knew he was tell
Ing an untruth when he said he was
invited.
1t is true also that the 'hostile reporters"
did not see the Chief and his two serpeants
IN the saloon proper, bet first met them IN
among the rafters.
No reflection was cast upon "the Chief of
folice or his assistants" their presence at
the entertainment being merely incidentally
alluded to as as sort of guarantee or proof
that the show was a perfectly moral and
well-conducted exhibition.
One incident Of the evening has hereto
lore remained unpublished, and that is the
presentation to Chief of Police James L.
by Mr.. Fred Smith, of bright
and lively skye terrier, which was received
with thanks and turned over 10 the tender
Keeping of Mr.. Edward Leery
1t is but fair to state that one of the SER
geants present at the entertainment was of
duty at the time.

THE sRAD PROSPECTS.
An Effort to Control the Supply in PhiIa.-
deIphia.

To-day's Philadelphia Ledger contains the
following Fish dealers about Dock street
wharf say that should the present mild
weather continue Delaware bay shad will be
In this market in about a week. The shad
with which the market is at present sup
piled come from North Carolina, but It was
said that small supply arrived yesterday
from Seaford, Delaware, which is the
farthest point north the fish have yet been
caught in any quantity. 1t will be the 10th
or 18th of April before the market is fully
supplied with Delaware river shad. syn
dicate of five wholesale fish dealers at Dock
street wharf has been formed to take the en-
tire catch of the river this season If they
can. They announce to the fishermen that
they will have an agent on the tug which
tows the shad boats from down the river to
market, also at the various fishing points,
who will contract with them for their entire
catch on satisfactory terms.
A member OF the syndicate stated yester-
day that the reason for forming the combi
nation was that in former years they have
been unable to secure a supply of market
able shad for their customers, owing to the
fact that the greater portion coming to mar
ket was consigned to agents not regular
dealers in fish, who disposed of them to re-
tail dealers in selected lots, leaving for the
wholesale men both small supply aud in
ferior fish with which to supply their coun-
try customers. These agents, they say, charge
the fishermen two cents per shad for dispos-
ing of them. This tax the syndicate pro-
pose to save to the fishermen by purchasing
their catch on the river for cash. By OBJ
tanning the control of the market In this
way, they say will not operate to increase
the price of the fish, but merely regulate it
according to the supply and demand.
At the big Gloucester fishery preparations
are being made by the lessees, Messrs.
Howell & Hunt, for commencing work be-
tween the 5th and 10th of April. For the
past two seasons the Delaware and Potomac
Fish Preserving Company, of this city, have
taken the entire catch of the Gloucester
fishery, but, it is stated, they will not do SO
this season, thus throwing between $4,000
and 100000 shad into the open market,
which 1t had not controlled the two seasons
past.
The prospects OF the Delaware river shad
season are problematical. 1t is said that so
far the catch in Southern waters this season
has hardly been up to the standard, and
some say that, from experience of former
years, when the season is poor in the South
1t is good here, while others say 1t stands
to reason that scarcity of shad elsewhere
indicates a similar scarcity In Delaware"
1t is thought that In consequence of their
being no ice up towards the head waters of
the Delaware, and the generally-supposed
absence of snow to chill the water, that the
run of shad will begin somewhat earlier
this season than In former ones.

A Potato Experiment.

Last spring DR.. R. P. Greenleaf, living at
Henry Clay F. o., near this city, made an
experiment in growing potatoes from the
seed found in the seed balls of potato es.
From a dozen plants which succeeded in
growing-having transplanted the plants
from the bed where the seed were sown on
the Sth of Maybe obtained in the fall 210
potatoes, weighing SO ounces. The result
was good many potatoes in the hill, but
rather small and not very profitable, the
largest potato weighing ~ ounces. The
experiment was for the purpose of demon
strating that potatoes can be reproduced
from the blossom seed; and proves the wis
dom of using the tubers for seed.

were to prove the charge, but from their
testimony nothing of eliminating char
acter was adduced. The prisoner, however,
was fined 50 and costs, the Mayor stating

Dutch than in English.
