A BRAKEMAN's STORY OF SUICIDE
A Washington paper says it was rumor-
ed last night that at 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon a woman jumped from a
carriage into the Potomac as the vehicle
was crossing the Long Bridge on its
way to Washington. The report was
vouched for by a brakeman on the local
Alexandria train No. 5. He said that
he saw the woman jump out of the car
riage and over the bridge rail, and that
two men, the other occupants of the
carriage, Immediately leaped into the
stream after her. The rumor could not
be verified in any way. Neither the
railroad officials or the police know
anything of the affair.

FISHING IN THE POTOMAC.-Persons
interested in the Potomac fisheries are
anxious to see the House pass the bill
introduced for the protection ofthe fish.
The bill has passed the Senate and
should it pass the House and receive
the Presidents signature, the work Of
DESTROYING the young fish in the waters
within the District limits will have 10
he stopped. During recent years the
white and yellow perch have been
raken from the District waters, the
spawning grounds Of the Potomac, and
millions Of small fish have thus been
destroyed, while the black bass have
been taken in such numbers that Fish
commission Mcdonald thinks it use
lest to stock any more tributaries of the
Potomac. Last year some OF the creeks
were stocked, but this spring the nets
are taking them from the waters and at
times they are as cheap as yellow perch.
II is stated that at one haul in the waters
of the District, only a few days ago,
one hundred and ninety-siX small bass
were caught and were sold at the rate
of twenty-five cents a bunch. Seldom
q day passes that some fine fish Of this
kind are not landed at the river front.
Last week twenty-nine bass, some
weighing as much as five pounds, We're
brought here on the steamer Macales-
ter. Most of them were caught at the
mouth of Pohick creek, just below Mt.
Vernon. where so many bass are caught
n. nets every spring. Most OF them
were alive when they reached here in
b~!rlvls with other fish, and said In
speclor Harris to 4 Star reporter this
morning, "they would make n
langry 90 LOOK nj them"
l.ycn the meu who fish the lower
Potomac are anxious about the pas
SAGE of the bill, for, by rakinS the
spawning ground each year, the fish
are materially lessened, and work
down The river is not so lucrative.
Just nov, white perch are coming from
Potomac creek, forty miles down the
river, and they are as fine Is any lish
of this variety every brought mere.
yellow perch are also being caught
down the river, and they, too, are OF
good quality. Several nets are now
being operated in the District, and vel
low perch of small size and catfish are
being caught in large numbers.
The shad and herring season is o
opening in earnest. Local fishermen
will soon begin the operation of their
nets. Last week 10000 herring We're
caught and brought to this city, in adj
dition to those shipped to Alexandria,
hut there were but few shad. Herring
we're caught as early as the first week
in January, but they always appear
some weeks in advance of shad.
The oyster season is fast drawing to
a close, as the fish season progresses.
This winter the receipt of oysters has
been much larger that it has been for
many years, and Inspector Harris says
that the b~ivalves have been of a better
quality. Soon the demand for the oys-
ters will begin to decrease, and then
the oyster boats will go in the fish bus
mess, and later on they will bring up
fruit from the farms along the river

THE DEIs COMPANY WlNs.-Mr. j.
K. Cation, counsel for the Deis Manufac-
turing Company, to-day received 10y eN-
press from Warrenton, the decision OF
Judge Keith in the case of w. II.
Fletcher vs.. the Deis Company. Judge
Keith, in rendering his decision, holds
that the injunction granted should be
dissolved that the receiver appointed
should be discharged and that the re-
ceiyer must forthwith settle his ac-
counts and restore TO the Deis Compa-
ny the control and possession OF its
property and that the plaintiff shall pay
costs
As heretofore stated the bill alleged
insolvency, fraud and acknowledgement,
MI of which allegations were denied by
answers filed in the cause and the opin.
ion of the Judge holds that none of the
allegations in the bill are sustained by
proofs.
As soon as the order of the court is
entered 1t Is understood that the COM
pany proposes TO resume operations.
MIR. Cation naturally feels elated at
the outcome of the case and his friends
nave heartily congratulated him on
winning what Judge Keith termed q
pretty legal fight.
The company and their friends in
this city are also much pleased at the
decision and think that it is but justice
that the company should be allowed to
again assume management of its own
affairs.

BURNINC OF TIL STEAMER CoIT.-
James Z. Gatchell and John W. White,
two of the men arrested for conspiracy
on warrants sworn out by Captain
james Richardson, who is charged with
burning, the steamer w. w. Colt,
were brought into Judge Miller's court
in Washington yesterday and the
charge against them nolle pressed. The
case promises to develop some interest
ing features. a number of aflidavits of
prominent river men, it is thought, will
result in Richardson's acquittal and the
arrest of other parties on the same
charge. Among the alidavits is n
from John T. Tennesson, engineer of
the steamer Harry Randall. He states
that about a week before Christmas
White, the engineer Of the Colt, walk
ed into his engine room and wanted to
borrow a few dollars, which was refus-
ed. White said that in course of a few
days he would have plenty Of money,
as he was going to get Capt. Richard
son drunk and get him to sign a certain
paper. John A. Beach, another river
man, testified also that he heard White
make similar utterances. Frank Posey,
formerly of the steamer Jane Mosely,
corroborated the evidence of the two
first named. i. J. Wooden swore that
Gatchcll offered him $500 if he would
ret Capt. Richardson to sign a paper
admitting that he burned the boat. He
didn't care how the signature was OBJ
tanned. Gatchell, Wooden says, then
went on TO tell him how he paid q man
in the case of the steam yacht Ella,
which was destroyed by fire a few
weeks before the destruction of the
Colt. He got q mar to keep Tull drunk
for two days, or until Capt. Mckenzie
CANT down from New York, and had
him sign an admission of incendiary
work. For his services in this case
Gatchell said he received 1928. Still
another man whom White approached
was John Howard, who vas wanted to
get Capt. Richardson drunk enough to
sigma paper promising him that he
would be we'll paid for his services.
