His ammunition was soon exhausted,
when the negros knocked the boards
off the henery and carried of the chick

they would blow the brains out of any
one who dared to modest them. They
also fired several shots at the house as

The egg market seems to DO in a de-
moralized condition. On Tuesday,
eggs were bringing "a cents dozen
Wholesale, but yesterday morning
they could be bought for lS cents. A
fall OF d cents n dozen in one day
would be remarkable at any season.
During Easter week II is considered a
marvel. Eggs went up, however, as
unexpectedly, although not quite as
quickly as they come down. Two
weeks ago eggs Vert going beg
cling al IA and Is cents. Suddenly
the Western quotations showed anup-
ward tendency. A great many com
mission men and produce dealers
bought large supplies and held them
for an advance.
II is probable that eggs will be
plenty and cheap Tomorrow, making
Il possible for all to have supply for
Easter.

A prominent druggist OF this city
said this morning that he considered
the editorial In the News in reference
to the liquor law as unjust and uncall-
ed for. He denied that the druggists
were either In league with the saloon
keepers, or wished to antagonlZe them.
He said the only desire wus to amend
the law, so that druggists could In a
case OF emergency sell liquors with
out tho foimality of physicians pre-
scriptlon.
He instanced several cases that had
come under hts notice, and said he
considered the present law as OPP
pressive on the citizens as 1t Is on the
druggist The way that it is now, a
common tramp can find saloon
where he can buy half a pint or pint
OF whiskey, while a reputable citizen,
needing 1t for medicinal purposes
would either have TO pay doctor to
write him prescription or go without
it.

The shad fishermen OF this city,
tempted by the tine weather, leftabout
aweek ago to commence operations
down tho bay. but up to the present
time Moo lure, the popular fish dealer
In the Eighth street market, reports
that no Delaware shad have been re-
celved. The weather Is against the
men, and It may be a week before any
OF the luscious Delaware shad are re-
ceiyed. Yesterday, fishing was COM
menced at Gloucester, and at an early
hour the salt-beaten tars were down
on the beach, pipe In mouth, predict
ing the result Of the first hall. Several
hundred people were ON the beach
when Sadie, boat thatreminds one of
the old Roman slave galleys, was pull
ed OF the sand by ten strong arms,
taking with her an immense black net,
Shortly after 10 O'Clock every fioater
and every lead was set and the meshes
of the great net strained to their ut
most. Then the boss gave the or
der, 'haul her In, boys.p It went
pretty hard until the stiff muscles got
loosened up. Foot by foot the woven
cord was reeled on the beach. As each

would be caught became greater. $50

will be twenty-five shad."

pulled roll OF greenbacks out of a
hidden recess. So it went. Some
thought the luck would be good, others
thought the weather too cold. Old
Tom, longshoreman, said: Now

and now doesn't. Can't tell, but it
pulls as IL there. was $4,000 beauties
coming i'm Closer and closer 1t came
until there were but fifteen square feet
under winter. The haulers got all
around this and slowly narrowed the
quarters OF their expected prey. When
the last mesh was out of the water the
toilers were rewarded by finding two
small bass and q catfish.
Nothing daunted, the net was spread
once more, the same operation gone
through with the same expectancy,
and the same disappointment, for the
shad for a second time, had kept aloof.
However, the haul OF bass reached
forty fine specimens. A third haul was
made. by which nice mess OF rock
and bass were landed.
These hauls will continue to be made
two and three times a day until about
the 10th of April, when the large net
will DO put into use. Shad are now on
sale in all the fish markets, but it all
halls from Southern waters and Is not
up to the standard of Delaware shad.

The well-known Isaac Hayden was
again before Judge Ball this morning
to answera charge of larceny. Officer
Weldin, who made the arrest testified
that about 4.30 o'clock this morning he
saw Isaac, who was quito drunk, trying
to force his way into building oil
Market street, and took him to the
hull. Upon being searched n silver
watch and chain were found In his
pocket, and this morning these were
identified by George b. Dennis as his
property. Mr.. Dennis testified that he
boards with Hayden's mother, ut No
Az East Seventh street, mud that when
he retired last night he left his watch
in his pocket in his bed room. This
morning the watch was gone, and as
Isaac was in the house when the
boarder retired, it was rightly sus-
pected that he had taken it. The Judge
committed him in default of 500 bail
to answer at court
