FISH FRY FIGURES
Statistics Showing the Distribution o
Little Fishes From the State
Hatchery.
Just 2,212,O00 Brook and 3.484, 900
California Rainbow Trout Placed
in Wisconsin Waters.

The following figures show the number
of brook trout and rainbow trout distrib-
uted among the various counties since
Jan. 1, 1892. The list was compiled from
the books at the iish hatchery by Superin-
tendent Jar,es Nevin The Madison
hatchery raises only the brook and Cali
fornia lake trout, with few carp. Con-
corning the latter no statistics are given.
Other breeds are found in the state hatch
cry in the exposition building, at Mil
waukee.
Wisconsin already leads every other
state in the union In the distribution of
trout, and statistics show that the output
in the state is steadily increasing. In
1889 the distribution of brook trout was
2,190,000; in 1890, $500 900. Already
this year the number has reached 2,212,-
900. The output of rainbow trout for
1889 was 2,615 900; for 1890, $3.50, 900.
From January of this year to date the
distribution has reached, 3,495 900.
The figures indicate what the distribu-
ton of fry has been to the various coun-
ties for public streams. The law of 1882
prohibits the furnishing of fry with the
exception of carp, for private ponds.
There has been in previous years an ig-
norance of the local distribution of fry on
the part of those officials of the various
counties whose business it is to know
what it has been. Any person desir-
GUS of obtaining fry to stock streams and
lakes may write to either of the
commissioners or the superintendent,
making out the proper application and re-
ceive the fry and directions for planting.
In some cases it has been discovered by
Mr.. Nevin that certain officials will denv
all knowledge of the receipt of any fry in
their counties. In order to show positive
ly the exact distribution, Mr.. Nevin now
keeps a list of the shippings, the quantity,
kind and applicant. From this list the
following figures were taken, giving the
total distribution to each county:

Reading Again Under Fire.

BUFFALO, June 2t.-The validity of
the Reading combine is likely to be
brought into court here. The Lehigh
division of the Reading has begun pro.
ceedlngs at Batavia to secure the right
of way for connection be-
tween its main line and the Nj
agara Falls branch of the New
York Central. The Lehigh asks for
the condemnation of several farms and
the matter is returnable before the
special term of the Supreme court In
this city next Monday. Counsel for
the owners of the farms threaten to
oppose the proceedings on the ground
that the Lehigh is not now a separate
corporation, having been consolidated
with the Reading, and will ask for an
order from the court to inquire into
the com bination entered into by tho
Lehigh Valley and the Reading.

Terrible Drought Which Prevails in Texas
and Mexico.
LAREDO, Texas, June 25-The great
drought which has prevailed over northern
Mexico and portions Of Texas on the Rio
Grande border for the last two seasons,
continues unbroken except in places. The
cattle industry is almost annlhilated and
the total failure of crops except in the
irrigated districts, resulted in extreme
suffering among the poorer classes.
The situation in the state Of Durango
and Coahullas is extremely critical. At
Laredo were established public lunch
rooms, where the poor and suffering
classes were fed. Tcis only prevented
&C. ual starvation. Several hundred thous-
and bushels of cereals, shipped from The
United States, has prevented suffering.
In the Texas drouth region the poorer
classes subsisted for months on contribu-
tions sent from other parts of the state.

THE BOY NOT GUILTY.
A Case which Has Caused Much Bad
Feeling.

A Case which Has Caused Much Bad
Feeling.
A second edition of most unfortunate
charge was exhibited for the public
yesterday afternoon in Justice Austin g
court.
1t was formerly in Justice Stanton's
court, charge of assault to commit
rape, but had become in the court men
toned charge Of battery. The alleged
principals were boy OF 16 years
Charles Zawatzky, and bright girl OF
10 years, Nora Bellringer. The caee was
tried in Justice Stanton's court, and it
was shown that the children were in
volved in q fracas on Tennessee street.
The girl said the boy threw her off her
bicycle and then took unwarrantable lib
critics with her; the boy admitted he
threw her from the bicycle, but denied the
rest of it. Justice Stanton discharged
the boy. Afterwards complaint against
the boy for battery was fled, and that
was the case tried yesterday.
Witnesses on both sides were present,
comprising the families and friends on
both sides. They swore as strongly for
their respective sides as due considera-
tion of the law would permit.
Finally, at 8 o'clock last evening, the
jury went cut, and in the course of a
few minutes returned verdict of not
guilty, and the defendant was dis
charged. The probability is that the
feelings engendered between the famil-
les will lead to iurther trouble.

They Knew What They Wanted, and
How to Talk.
Two little girls, who belong, no doubt,
to some kindergarten class, walked
straight into thepolice station yesterday
afternoon and informed Clerk Cottle,
in childish treble, that some persons in
a fruit wagon had stolen their pug dog.
The complainants are young, but they
seemed to know what they wanted.
They desired the dog, and then that the
men should have something done to
them. When asked any distinguishing
marks about the dog, they said he was
yellow. Their language was plain and
direct. After one of them gave her ad-
dress as Second and Los Angeles streets,
and her name as Cora White, and her
companion as Nellie Blay, she tugged at
her arm and said there was nothing
more to be said. The little girls knew
what they wanted, and told it; then
