Black Bass and other Game Fish. Dying
Ia the Brandywine.

Persons who passed over Market street
bridge were startled by re-
markable sight yesterday. In the
lower part of the Brandywine creek. be-
low the city pumping station, and in
tide water, there are great quantities of
dead fish, which are supposed TO have
been poisoned. 10 is estimated that
there are at least five tons of the putrid
fish floating on the water or on the banks
of the stream IL is supposed that they
have been poisoned by the sewer that
empties into the stream near where most
of the fish are found.
Some OF the city officers made an
investigation of the stream to day.
They found that there was horrible
smell arising from the putrid fish, and
that il would be necessary to get rid of
the nuisance at once. A blue heron, a
number of ducks and several swapping tur-
ties We're found dead on the banks of the
stream, and it is supposed that they were
poisoned by eating the fish II is the
opinion of some that the fish, among
which are many fine black bass, were
poisoned from the dyes that have been
emptied into the stream by mills above
the city. People who live and work
along the stream are complaining of the
foul smells that orise from the stream
