FISH CULTURE.


The Operations of the National Fish Com
mission--What Has Been Done During
the Past Year As shown by Figures OF
Colonel Mcdonald, Chief of the Division
of Propagation.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 1.-THE
Star has some interesting information
concerning the distribution OF fish by the
commission, which may interest Western
folks. Following are extracts: The
fishery industry of the United States, &C
cordng to the last census, gives employ
ment to l3l, 426 persons, and in it the
capital invested amounts to S37,955, 349.
OF the persons employed the Southern
States furnish about forty per cent,
while of the capital invested over fifty
per cent. comes from the New England
States. The central station OF
the commission is right here in Wash
lngton in the Old Armory building,
which is the largest shad Matching sta
ton in the country. This station is
under the immediate direction of Colonel
Marshall Mcdonald, Chief of the Divls-
ion of Propagation, to whose enthusi-
asm in the work of fish culture, and to
whose inventive genius and practical
ability, as well as his scientific re-
search, the success of the work of propa-
CATION and distribution accomplished
by the commission is largely due.
81 can't give you the exact figures"
said Colonel Mcdonald, "5ut during this
year we have developed and distributed
about 10000, 900 white fish, about 3,000,-
900 salmon, say 27,000,OOO shad, large
number of brook trout and California
trout, and have sent carp to over 1000
applicants, embracing every State and
Territory in this country and nearly every
Congressional District. l consider the
most important work of the year to be the
attempt to stock the Columbia River
and the system of streams emptying into
Puget Sound with shad. Car No. 2 Of
the commission is now en- route for
Portland, Ore, with l,500, 900 shad for
that purpose. We are also endeavoring
to stock the tributaries of the Gulf OF
California with the same fish, and car No

Burton for the defense. The latter
claimed that the court had no jurisdic-
ton, and after some argument the case
was remanded to the 18th, after which It
was remanded to the llth
On that last named day the case was
brought up. Consul Gamble was the
first witness called. He testified on be-
half of the prosecution as to the various
articles found in MaxwelI's trunk, which,
among other things, contained two hand
kerchieis marked &C. A. P,,p a shirt with
two large spots of blood on it, sixteen
paibs of cuffs marked with the initials,
&c. A. p" and a suit of underwear
that had been ripped from a body.
In reply to questions as to how the
articles not bearing the initials of his
name had come into his posse sson, Max
well said they had been given to him in
San Francisco by a man named Robins IN.
WHERE DID HE SPEND HIS MONEY?
Tue inference which is drawn here from
the fact that Maxwell had only $l30 when
arrested and spent so little on the ship is,
that he ran against faro bank either
here or on the ship and got cleaned out.
The fact that he took steerage passage
would argue that he had little money be-
fore he started. Had he gone in the
cabin he could have had mis- trunk in his
state room, and then when his roommate
was out he could have DESTROYED all COM
promising evidence, such as the thirty
! four cuffs marked c. A. p. and the cut
and slashed drawers. These he could
easily have thrown overheard at night.
In the steerage however, he was restrict
ed to weekly visits to his trunk, always
| in the presence of officers of the ship or
other passengers, so that it was impossl-
| Bile for him to remove evidence OF MS
crime without exciting suspicion. AS tue

Dependent, and Tired With Fretful Babe,
Pittsburgh Mother Ends the Life OF
Both by a Plunge Into the River.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, June l5.-The four
months-old child OF Mrs. William II. De-
bold, had been fretting all last night, and
at 1850 this morning the tired mother
rose, and taking it in her arms, left the
house, saying to her elder daughter who
had been wakened: l think l will take
the baby for walk down by the river to
get the morning air." At 1880 John
Levine, who keeps the wharf boat below
Woods coal tipple, saw woman's dress
floating on the water, and fastened in the
chains of his boat just out from the
shore. He pulled it up and discovered
the body of Mrs. Debold, and gave the
alarm. All afternoon the search for the
body of the child twas kept up by the
boatmen on the river, but without sue
cess. The bosy of the woman was taken
to her husbands home.
Mrs. Debold was subject to fits at long
intervals, and it was thought possible
that she may have in one of them fallen
into the river, but as it would have re-
qured great effort for her to reach the
point where she was found, her husband
favors the theory that, in her despond-
ency, she threw the child in and jumped
after it. A few weeks ago her mother COM
mitted suicide by taking large dose of
"Rough on Rats" since which Mrs. De-
bold has been given to fits of melan'

DESPERATE AFFRAY.

A New Orleans Butcher Attacked by Gar
rioters and Seriously Wounded-One OF
the Miscreants Wounds "a Policeman and
Gets Killed For His Pains.
New ORLEANS, La, June l5.-Yester-
day morning at three O'Clock James Stat
ford, wealthy butcher, was attacked by
three garroters just as he was leaving
his house at the corner of st. Peter and
Decatur streets. Stafford is a muscular
man, although aged, and fought desper-
ately to retain his valuables. He was
soon lying insensible with dozen ter
rible wounds on his head, inflicted by
slunS-shot. His cries had been heard at
the police station, however, and just as
he fell Corporal Duffy ran up, and the gar
rioters fed, pursued by the officer, who
seized one of them, Joseph Martin, a
notorious burglar.
Seeing their companion was arrested,
the other two garroters rushed to his as
Sstance aud attacked Duffy with slung-
shots. He released Martin, who placed
a revolver to Duffy's breast and fired.
The bullet struck the breast bone and
glanced off, INJECTING slight flesh wound.
Duffy returned the fire, killing Martin in
stantly. The other two ASSISTANTS ran
of, and Duffy sank to the pavement from
loss of blood just as other policemen
came up.
Duffy and Stafford are seriously wound
ed, but both will probably recover. Prus-
sian Charley, one OF the garroters, has
been arrested
