Fish Benumbed by Cold.

From the Savannah News.
The extreme cold weather has benumbed
thousands of fish in almost all the waters
along the Atlantic coast and many Of them,
as stated in the Morning News. have been
caught with ease. though there seems to
be some difference of opinion as to the de-
STABILITY of these fish for food.
Some say that when taken from the wa
ter in this half dead condition they are
unfit for food, while others claim that
they are made all right again after being
picked up out of the cold water by placing
them for a few minutes in a more temper
ate water. At any rate. the fishermen at
many places along the coast are taking adj
vantage of this helpless condition of the
fish, and seem to be making good thing
of 1t. A correspondent writing from Jack
sonville, n. c., gives the following account
Of the condition of things at that place on
one of the coolest days Of the recent spell:
Owing to the freeze, there is an UNI
precedented catch of fish in New river.
The people are actually catching trout by
the boatload."

Bruin Brokers, by Exploiting the Re.

The early improvement in stocks this

After the traders recovered from their
surprise. however, they started to sell the
market, and the early gain of Liars per
cent. was not only lost. but in some cases
a decline was recorded.
The reduction in the bank reserves has led
to talk about higher money rates. The bears
are making the most of this, and are in
creasing their short lines. The loss in
prices was equal to IA to 7-S per cent.

The free labor association, he said, was
cultivating better relations between en-

prevention of senseiess strikes.
The association, he said, had already ef-

THAT WATER STREET ROUTE.
Tennallytown Road Appeals to the
Commissioners for the Privilege.
It's Officials Present Their Side of the
Case as Opposed by the BaIti-
more & Ohio.

The District Commissioners gave an
audience to-day to President o. 7. Crosby
and Vice President Charles A. Lieb, of the
Georgetown & TenBallytown Railway Com
pany, upon an application for permission
to lay separate track for distance OF
1876 feet on Water street, for the purpose
of extending their line from its present
terminus to the Potomac River.
This application grows out of the action
of the Baltimore s Ohio authorities in tear
ing up the tracks laid on that street by the
Tennallytown Company TO connect with a
track already laid, as told exclusively in
to-day's Morning Times, and which. Presi-
dent Crosby said, it was desired to utilize
in their proposed extension.
In presenting the case to the Commits
sioners, President Crosby rehearsed the
history of the previous transactions, already
familiar to the public. and said:
1.-The Georgetown 4 Tennallytown Com
pany proceeded somew hat hastily, 1t is true,
but it was upon the supposition, supported
by information received. that we could reach
an agreement with the owner of the track.
II learned that the Georgetown Barge,
Dock and Elevator Company had passed into
the control of the Baltimore & Ohio Com
pany, and upon consulting Mr.. Hamilton,
the attorney for that corporation, he stated
that in his private judgment 1t would be an
advantage to his company to have the track
used.
1--WE erred probably In not consulting
the Officers of the company in advance. but
it was my purpose to see them at an early
date. What we now want Is a determina-
ton of the question as to whether or not
we have any right to traverse Water
street.
I'm this connection I would call your
attention to the fact that the charter
under which we claim it is da ted August
10, 1888, and that of the Georgetown
Barge. Dock. and Elevator Company bears
the date of September &c, 1898.
1.-THE question involving the right To
use the overhead trolley system will come
up later
1t is understood that upon previous
statement of facts Attorney Thomas has
decided against the Georgetown Ten
nallytown Company, and the president now
asks that he be not disturbed in the exer-
else of rights already granted. pending
a decision upon the present presentation
of the case.
Mr.. Crosby says the opinion filed by Mr..
Thomas covered ground that was not iu-
volved in the application.

New York. Oct.7.-Joseph vendig started
for Texas yesterday to look after the inter
| ests of the New York members OF the syndi
| cate controlled by Daniel A. Stuart, of
Dallas.
1t is said that the $1,000 posted with
Phil Dwyer as forfeit In case the club failed
to pull off the fight in Dall las was put up by
New Yorkers-
They do not care to lose this money and
have a fighting chance to save it, they
think.
Vendig says the fighters tan divide the
$4,000 il they agree to fight In place Sc
lected by Stuart for purse of $4,000.
MAY PULL BACK THE FORFEIT.
He does not say outright that the club
will request Stakeholder Dwyer to return
| the money in case the $4,000 offer should
be rejected, but this is very likely to hap
pen.
Mr.. Dwyer now holds the clubs forfeit,
Corbett's forfeit, Corbett's $4,000 bet
and small portion OF the stake furnished
by the Fitzsimmonss side. Thus far, it is said.
So, 800 of the New Zealander's original
$4,000 stake has been attached.
Fitzsimmons has apparently made no ef
fort to replace this money. SO it is doubt
full whether he has good claim on the
clubs forfeit, which his representatives
will demand at the conference in Dallas.
"In my opinion" said Vendg, these
men will fight for the purse the club will
| offer. II they do not accept a $4,000
offer to fight and 81, 500 each as pay for
their trouble up to this time, it will be pretty
good evidence to the public that somebody
is afraid.
CORBETT'S EAGERNEsS.
"Corbett told me he would fight for $S
or a box of cigars rather than lose the
chance of meeting Fitzsimmons. The latter
has also talked great deal about his
anxiety to settle the question
.'If there is to be fight, the club will
telegraph all holders Of tickets, but no
favorable announcements will be made
unless Stuart can personally guarantee the
clubs patrons a show for their money"
Dallas, Tex, Oct. Peter Ma her, who
is slated to fight Steve O'Donnell, had an
nounced his intention of returning to Pitts
burg, as he had lost hopes for the fights
taking place. Last night he said that he
had decided not to return to Pittsburg until
some time in November: that things are
satisfactory to him, and that he is training
hard for his battle. This indicates IL the
prize fights do not take place In Dallas they
will be pulled off not far from here.
