The Cruise OF the Jersey Fish Conn
niSstoners Down tho Esay.
The Pennegrove IN. j. Record gives
the following account OF the fish in
dustries on the Delaware: "The New
Jersey State Fish Commissioners,
William Wright of Newark, president;
Francis M. Ward of New ton secretary,
and Joseph r. Elkinton of Pennsgrove,
treasurer, together with number Of
invited friends made a trip down the
bay on the steamer Greenwich on
Thursday to view the fishing industry
Of the lower Delaware which the
commission never did before. At
Port Penn II sturgeon were taken
aboard which were great curiosity to
those who never saw them before.
Bayside was reached at 30 where an
hour was spent in viewing the vast
sturgeon industry, indeed, with amaze
ment by the uninitiated. Owing to
the bad weather there has not been
much fishing this week. The fish are
now being stored in the refrigerator
where they are kept frozen until sold.
There are II firms, using 100 boats and
nets and employing 800 men now
there. AS the amount of capital in
vested and the proceeds in this indus
try are unknown to but few, the eyes
OF the visitors were opened to new

"Bayside was left at $40 and an ap-
petizing supper was enjoyed on the
way to Hope Creek which was reached
at o'clock where a few shad fisher
men remain. The catch was very
light. less than 100. Alloway creek
was reached at dark where more shad
and sturgeon were freighted. About
% nets were there. At Pennsville
about / 800 and at Pennsgrove 1900
shad were freighted. making only be-
tween 1900 and 5000. Pennsgrove
was reached at 9.45 when the Penns-
grove party left the others all of whom
had enjoyed the trip.
"The shad fishermen had a great
falling off in the number of fish caught
on Monday in comparison with former
Monday catches. Only two Penns-
grove nets caught over 100 and the
catch during the remainder of the
week was only from so to 100 for the
best nets at Pennsgrove. Some have
quit fishing and others do not fish al
hard. Only about 10 nets remain a

having moved up the river or quit. Las

THE new Wilmington City Direc-
tory" by Ferris Brothers for 1883,
which appeared on the same day with
che EVENING JOURNAL and which
was briefly noticed in these columns on
that day, fully maintains the pub
fishers we'll established reputation for
accuracy and detail. Two Of these
books are absolutely indispensable in
this Office and the work is certainly
the most useful book that any business
or professional man in this city, can
have on his desk. So long as the
streets are as poorly designated as now
by names on the lamps there should
be directory in every corner store or
Office in the city for the convenience of
strangers, il for nothing else. We
have had considerable experience with
directories of other cities and can say
unhesitatingly that Wilmington is for
tunate in having Ferris Brothers work.
The first 90 pages Of 1t and the block
directory are together worth the price
of the entire book.

Burrows, the Genoa train robber who
was brought here from Texarksna for
safe keeping, has made a full confession
except as to the amount of money
received. He refuses to implicate
anyone else except Brock. Burrows
claims that this was his
first offense and he intended 1t should be
his last, but that as he had been captured
he would take his medicine like man.
He says now that the only thing
he regrets is that he did not
kill Brock on the third day
after the robbery, when they were
dividing the booty, SIS he found letter in
Brooks pocket making statement Of
the affair end giving the names Of all
concerned.

sitting on stump, and is eating lunch
the dog is cycling the piece of bread which
the hunter has in his hand.
At o'clock he starts out to fiaish the

and fishing tackle and goes to the wster;

The turtle had assembled the beach to q
point above high tide, and stirred up the
sand, leaving great heap over her eggs,
and returned to the water but 8 short
time before we landed. This was shown
by the ebbing tide, which had retre&ted
but short distance from her last tracks.
The eggH were laid in bunch and COW
cred with ssnd 9 foot and hAlf deep.
There were Just 199 Of them. They re-
semble q white rubber ball, an inch and

have peculiar favor. and are very pal
8table. The CLAIR becomes very tough
and leathery by boiling, and is always
thrown away. The breeding season OF
the loggerhead Caledonia ;caretta) lasts
from May well into August, according to
the statement Of our guide, who also said
that they deposited eggs several times
in this period, producing IS many as $50
at the first laying, and perhaps no more
than two or three at the last. The natives
make business like search for these
eggs each year, and sometimes surprise
the female turtle on the beach. When
she has once begun the egg-laying pro-
cess, it has to be finished, even if she is
