The susquehanna River One of the
Best of Bass Fishing Grounds.
LARGE. FINELY FLAVORED TROUT.
A List of Some of the Best Trout Streams
in Pennsylvania.
OPEN SEASON FOR ALL GAME FISH

Unquestionably the greatest small-mouth
black bass water in this country is the Sus-
quehanna river. The lover of black bass fish
ing in search ola days enjoyment cannot go
amiss if he seeks it at any point along that
river. The Susquehanna is a stream of
reefs, islands and rapids and great boulders.
1t is where the shelving reefs or walls of
rock reach across the river, the water dash
ing over and forming into deep pools be-
low, that the Susquehanna bass best thrive
and most love to linger. A notable instance of
this is the remarkable reef mile above
Halifax, village 20 miles above Harris
burg. The river is divided into two wide
channels at Halifax by an island mile
long and a quarter of a mile wide.
During the bass fishing season a sight
that will be curious one to the stranger is
to be seen daily in this reef. From one end
OF it to the other wherever ioothold may
be secured will be fishermen of all sizes and
ages, with all sorts and conditions of tackle,
in sunshine or in rain, angling with he'll
granite, "stone roller" worm, minnow and
crawfish for the inevitable black bass.
Glancing along the front of that array OF
rustic sportsmen the spectator may literally
see bass in the air constantly. The num-
ber of black bass that are killed at and
about Girty's Falls from June to November
every year is absolutely enormous. Above
the reef, at the head of the long reach of
water, which the influence of the
falls has formed into swift
but smooth-runnlng current, are
many large sunken rocks with shelving
sides, where the water is very deep.
Around these the largest bass are captured,
but as they are more shy and cautious than
the fish in the pools below, the local anglers
seldom spend time in fishing for them. A
patient sportsman, with skill and good
tackle, may pass many rare day with his
boat anchored among these sunken rocks.
1t is no rarity for four-pounder to respond
to proper cast thereabout, and put the
sportsman to a halt hours brisk fight to win
the trophy. Late in the fall, when the bass
collect in the deep pools and under the pro-
tecting rocks, hundreds of them of enormous
size may be seen hugging the bottom of the
river.

Pennsylvania Streams.

The streams in the vicinity of Blair have
been so neglected in the way of restocking
that they are entirely exhausted. There are
some trout at Falling Springs.
Fishing creek, at Boonville, contains
some trout Of large size in the deep pools
near the rapid water. An expert fly caster,
with plenty of perseverance, may secure
some good fishing on favorable days. At
Tylersburg the creek was so badly washed
by the heavy floods of last June that the
drifts and channels were decidedly changed.
This will injure the trout fishing this sea-
son.
Trout are very scarce at Mannaville,
Beech creek, Rosecrans and Langdon, while
fishing is excellent at Trout river and En-
glish Center. At Maskeyville speckled
and brook trout are caught quite plentifully
in the streams. The fish are from TO II
inches in length. The fishing is said to be
better in those streams in this county which
flow into the Susquehanna.

Widow Who Has Had Thirteen Children
Sues for Support From Steamboat
Company-Other Suits for Damages
News From the Courts.
Mrs. Missouri Luster, yesterday entered
suit against Thomas Fawcett & Sons, owners
of the steamboat. Convoy, for 81, 500 damages,
for the death of her husband, Charles
Luster. On July 20, 1888, Luster was en-
ployed as a fireman on the boat, and was
scalded to death by the bursting of a steam
pipe. Mrs. Luster alleges that the owners
of the boat knew the steam pipe was detec-
tive and dangerous, and on the night of the
explosion, a pressure of from 1S0 to 100
pounds of steam was carried, contrary to
the rules of the Steamboat Inspector, who
only allowed 40 pounds. She also states that
liquor was allowed to be brought on the
boat, and officers and crew were made care
less of llfe. The machinery of the boat was
also old.
Mrs. Luster stated further that she has
had 13 children, nine of whom are living.
The defendants promised to see that she
should never know want, and she did not
enter suit at the time. At first they re-
ceived her kindly when she went to them,
and made fair promises, but finally she was
driven out of their Office BY insults.

And Dirkovitch, bland, supple, and

mess, and even had he smitten the Colonel

do you know that you are Limmason-
Lieutenant Limmason of the White Hus-
sars?"
Swiftly as q shot came the answer. in a
slightly surprised tone. "Yes, I'm Lamma-
son, of course" The light died out in his
eyes, and he collapsed afresh, watching
every motion of Dirkovitch with terror. A
flight from Siberia may fix few elementary
facts in the mind, but it does not seem to
lead to continuity of thought. The man
could not explain how, Ikea homing pigeon,
he had found his way to his own old mess
again. Of what ne had suffered or seen he
knew nothing. He cringed before Dirko-
witch as instinctively as he had pressed the
spring of the candlestick, sought the picture
of the drum-horse, and answered to the toast
of the Queen. The rest was blank that the
dreaded Russian tongue could only in part
remove. His head bowed on his breast, and
he giggled and covered alternately.
The devil that lived in the brandy prompt
ed Dirkovitch at this extremely inoppor-
tune moment to make a speech. He rose,
swaving slightly, grippcd the table-edge.
while his eyes glowed like opals, and began:
Fellow soldiers glorious-true friends
and hospitables. 1t was an accident, and de-
plorable-most deplorable." Here he smiled
sweetly all round the mess. "But you will
think of this little, littlething. So little, is

table "Hear you, old peoples, we have

peoples. Get awayr" He waved his hand
imperiously, and pointed to the man. "You

Frank Spisak yesterday entered suit

A Fine Catch,

The Punxsutawney Spirit says that R.
W. Dinsmore. the Deputy Revenue Col
lector for that district, caught dozen trout
one day last week ranging in size from to
1874 inches long. Old fishermen said they
were the finest trout captured in this coun-
try for years. Mr.. Dinsmore had bucket
along in which he placed the fish, and
brought them home alive. He has an arti-
fetal Iakelet near his house, supplied by a
spring, which is nicely walled up with cut
stone, and in which there are now over a
hundred beauties, many of which are q foot
long, and at least one over 13 inches.

Rich, Juicy Trout.

1t has been many years since the trout
have been SO large, so finely favored and so
great in number as they are this year. From
all the trout streams comes reports of large
catches, and there is every indication that
the year 1890 will be notable one Tor trout
anglers. At Henrvville, Monroe county,
ten anglers caught 300 trout. An angler at
Canandensis says that Notwithstanding
the fact that the water is low and clear, and
that there has been no snow water from the
mountains, he has met with good success.
