THE TRAGEDY AT NIAGARA FAILS.

Not Expected that veAder's Body VIII Ever
be Fouad-I.issle Mourning for Pierson.
NIAGARA FALLS, May 3.-The Luna Island
tragedy remains as much a mystery az ever.
and. without any doubt. will soon be buried in
the public mind with the suicides and trage-
dies which preceded It hero. Opinion is about
equally divided as to whether Thomas Vedder
committed suicide or escaped during tho long
lapse Of nighttime between the occurrence of
the murder and the discovery Of Van Rensse-
laer Persons body on the icy island. Friends
Of the family still insist that Vedder IL dead.
and account for the failure to find his body by
the likelihood OF its having floated to Lake On
tariO without being detained In the currents.
Pieces OF wood flung into the cataract where
vedder is supposed to have jumped In have
foated through with little detention and there
was plenty Of time before the establishment OF
q systematic search for the passage OF the
man 3 body into the lake.
Advocates OF the theory that Vedder Is alive
say that this Is Just what they expected when
the delay occurred In systemizing the search.
There appears to have been very little grief at
the denth OF Pierson. and all the mourning has
been for Vedder. whose estate Is now being d.
vided among the henefcinries named In his
will. which was offered for probate within .
few days after the TRAGEDY occurred.
It is hardly expected now that Vedder's body
will ever be found. and II II has been kept In
the counter -currents or In the whirlpool. It will
bo much bruised and mangled by the ice.

Tsothsome Fish Absndaas.
From the Rochest>r Democrat

an extract from the Albany Express in which
the writer bewailed the scarcity OF shad In the
upper Hudson River. =" Fact Is. we cannot
catch shad enough up there to get spawn for

Albany folks are right In asking for n close sea-
son Of one day each week; ] think 1t ought to
be two days. That would let enough fish get
through to furnish good up-river fishing. and
We could get some spawn for our Matching
operations. There is a bill before the Legisia-
but It won't pass. These fellows want all the
fish that come into the river. and you can't do
anything with them. They. don't know when
they are we'll of. though. Why. there's thirty

Z net should De allowed in the river anywhere.
The flsh caught for spawn should be caught
only IN the night. because when shad are ripe
they do not travel In the day time. Then when
the fish are caught only those that are ripe'
should be taken. and the rest turned loose. to be
caught ngain a. the & proper Pro an time. In this way
make more shad than have ever been saen.
The proc,,ss Of artificial Matching Ia one for all
