IKE sCARCITY oF MAcKrRrr.


AS the season advances the catch of
mackeTel naturally increases somewhat
but 1t Is still true that the years. supply
promises 70 be very small. On no part of
the Atlantic coast nave the fish appeared
| IN their former mum bers The largest
hauls of late have been made off Block
Island, near Mount Desert and in the
Bay of Fundy. 1t would seem
! that the law which forbids the
landing of mackerel before June l was
! enacted none too soon. Whatever the
| reason, this most desirable and popular
/ sea food is apparently less abundant than
ever before in the North Atlantic waters
ks1Ekt4e mackerel are not actually scarcer
ssSsey must have changed their habits, as
some authorities seriously assert, in
consequence of the persecution to which
they are subjected. The provincial fish
ermen have had comparatively little
more success for year or two than those
of United States nationality.
Since January l the New England
fleet has landed, al told, 4245 barrels of
salt mackerel, against II, 759 barrels in
the same time last year, 2G ,94I barrels in
1887 and 81, 1913 barrels III 1886. The i'm
ports at Boston from the British provinces
this year stand at II ,278 barrels, as
compared with IA ,346 barrels in 1888,
20 ,43O barrels in 1887 and Is ,S84 barrels
in 1876. The bureau of statistics reported
the total imports of mackerel into the
United States i'll the last two fiscal years
as follows:

To this may be added the following

aggregate was accordingly 1927 1928, or

Imports OF Irish mackere1 will be some |
thing of feature this year as for two or |
three seasons past. The receipts from /
the old country are not apt to be in SO |
good condition as the American catch,
but they help materially to supply the |
home efficiency. A government report
on the Irish fisheries says that last year
over fifteen thousand barrels Of mackereI
were packed for this country, for which
the average amount paid to the fisher
men was los for 120 fish, or about fifteen
thousand pounds English money. The
facilities for local transportation, curing,
etc, in Ireland are not equal to those
which are found in British North Amer
lea.

DisgraceIui Conflict,
National Hall, Ninth and Walnut
streets, the social headquarters of the
colored race on the east side, was the
scene Tuesday night Of another Of those
disturbances which disgrace that locality.
The colored gathering last evening WAS due
to the fact that the Golden Leaf Social
Club were entertaining their friends on
the third floor OF the National Hall. A
row occurred at about 10. 80 O'Clock. One
of the colored hosts Immediately hurried
to the police station for aid. Sergeant
Tucker and Officer Heal accompanied tie
messenger back and on thor crr;val
found that something similar to pande-
monium had commenced. Between 200
and 800 colored citizens swarmed In the
hall. along the stairway, fighting and
scuffiing. One of the ringleaders was
captured.
Sergeant Tucker was attacked. Officer
Heal attempted to take the prisoner down
the stairway to the hall. a ruffian with
black jack struck at the.sergeant. The
blow found its billet on the hard crown
OF q oolored man instead OF the sergesnt's
face. The lamp which lit the stairway
was snatched from its plaza and thrown
down. This was done to aid through the
.
kicked down stairs and quickly all was
dark.
Friend nor foe could not be distin-
guished. Suddenly the building was
lit up by bright illumination.
Dries Of ''fre, fire!" reaounded
al around. The FIRE alarm was
sounded. Officers Hanna and Virtue
arrived and soon afterwards Sergeant Pc.
terson, with Officers Burleigh and USdiks.
Meanwhile big blaze, caused :. :. Q
smashing of the lamp which had been
kicked down the stairs, ieaped up six
eight feet high at the foot Of the stairws
| in the street entrance. There was
panic among the oolored people. They
poured down the stairway in scores like o.
hock OF sheep, yelling with dsmonisc cries
and rushing fearleBsly through the biszs.
1t sesmed at the moment as If Sergeant
Tucker and his men on the second and
third floors would be caught in fire.
trap.
The brilliant illumination lit every.
thing around and reflected on the crowds
ont OF doors. For a few minutes the
panic YVES frighful. The light, however,
enabled the officers to quietly leave the
building. The ere was put out before
the arrival Of the firemen. Buckets Of
water were thrown down the stairs quickly
extinguishing the flames. During the
melee the prisoner escaped. The damage
by fire WAS very slight and no one was
injured.
National Hall the scene of the disturb
ance is an old three story brick structure
owned by Philadelphia parties and was
run at one time in connection with the
large cotton mill across the street Shaft
ing ran under the roadway connecting
the present hall with the mill. By this
method the proprietors saved the ex-
pense Of two engines. Whenever there
is any kind Of jolhfsation or entertain
ment at National Hall, the police have to
stay there oil night on the lookout for
disturbances. 1t is one of the most
troublesome localities in tho city.

DOVER.


Special Correspondence q Gazette and Journal
Dover, Aug. 16.-The peach season is
now at lis height, and in few days more
the bulk of the crop will have been
shipped. The fruit has been very scarce
in Dover and at present ia retailing at 10
cents per quart as against 20 cents per
basket one year ago. None Of any &C.
count has been shipped from Dover; in
fact not enough to make market.
Prices at Wyoming yesterday ran from
so cents per basket for white to $l.25 for
yellow fancy fruit, with downward
tendency. The probabilities now are
that peaches will DO lower for the next
few days. Only eight cars were shipped
yesterday from Wyoming, against 40
cars heretofore shipped at the same timo
in the season. Tomorrow will be the
biggest day of shipments this season.
The estimate of tho railroad company for
Wyoming was $50, 600 baskets, but, from
present Indications, 100, 900 baskets viii
cover the shipments from there this sea
pon. OF the eight cars shipped yester
day, one went to Newark, N. j.; one tt
springfield, Mass; one to Syracuse, N.
Y; one to Wilkesbarre, Pa; two to Bal
timore; one to Albany, N. Y, and one to
New York.
Buyers are there from Buffalo, N. Y,
