THE FISH SEASON.
The FISH SEASON.
Busy Scenes Nowadays at the River
Wharves.

Busy Scenes Nowadays at the River
Wharves.
"Fishtown" presented a lively appearance
today, and the hundreds Of people who are
given employment by the fish trade had no
time for idleness. Mr.. r. A. Golden re-
ceived a shipment Of more than 5000 shad
from the lower river, as well as several
thousand herring and other fish. The
northern dealers. especially in New York,
are handling large quantities of Potomac
fish. Yesterday Mr.. Golden shipped hun
dred barrels of shad to New York, and re-
ceived word today that fish from here
found ready sale there. being much pre-
ferred to the fish from the Carolinas. Fish
ermen down the river, especially those
who made late start, are doing exceeding
ly well, the shad this year being particu-
larly fine. There has also been a heavy
catch of rock fish this spring, but the
catch of these fish has fallen off since shad
and herring commenced to run. Some large
specimens Of rock have been caught at the
shores only few miles down the river,
enc of them weighing as much as eighty
five pounds. Those who are hauling seine
only short distance down the river have
had good luck thus far, and fishermen say
known have escaped the trap nets in the
lower Potomac this year, and made their
way farther up the river.
Down the river the fishing business is
virtually part Of the farming industry SO
Mr. Walter Moreland Of the firm of r. A.
Golden told Star reporter this afternoon.
Farmers living ten miles from the river in
both Maryland and Virginia. have their
nets set in the river, and they not only
catch enough for their own use and country
trade. but many OF them ship fish here. In
this way he says. thousands Of dollars are
sent to the lower counties Of Maryland and
Virginia during the fish season.
The dealers ship cured fish, shad and her
ring as far west as Chicago and st. Louis
Some few fresh shad are also sent there,
and the shipments would be much larger
we're it, not for the excessive freight
charges. the charges on a barrel Of shad to
st. Louis being $3.50, and to Chicago, 81 25.
The same applies to the northern fish ship
ped here. the freight being much more than
say, accounts for the high prices of some
OF the fish brought here from a distance.

Ex-Representative Mudd of the NTH

happy frame Of mind. and spoke Of his
Political prospects with entire freedom and

he said. votes enough to insure his nomina-
ticn in the district convention, which, this
year, 1t is generally conceded, is equivalent
to an election.
While in Washington. Mr.. Mudd was met
by Mr. Jno.W. Belt Of Prince Georges coun-
ty. Mr.. Belt has been regarded a. a can
Gjdate for Congress, and his many friends
were sanguine Of his developing great

ever. given explicit and positive denial by
Mr.. Belts announcement to q Star reporter
In the presence Of Mr.. Mudd that he was
contrary. he is for Mr.. Mudd, and predicts
lis success both in the convention and at
the polls:
Mr.. Mudd has now votes enough" said
Mr.. Belt, to make sure Of his nomination.
There can be no doubt Of his success He
will have the firm support Of Prince
Georges. and can see no reason to doubt
baxe snat ne w AZ opposition and
teen some talk Of A. p. A. opposition to
Mudd at the polls because he Is a Catholic
out II ID only rumor, and cannot believe
that 1t will amount to anything. He will
poll large vote and be elected beyond all
doubt. He is one Of the most active poll
t1cians the fifth district ever saw, and the
man who wants to keep in sight of him will
have to get up before breakfast AS to my
own candidacy, I declare distinctly that I
am for Mudd. and he will have my support
to the finish'

The famous brigand Tiburzi Of Italy,
who was recently killed by the police,
had been brigand for 40 years. For a
long time he was the real ruler OF q
large district. He imposed taxes upon
the population and in return guaranteed
public order. Every one paid willingly,
and there were no longer robberies or
crimes of any kind. He constituted him
self the local police force At the cleo
tions of 1898 he took over the political
arrangements of the district. In fact. he
became the grand elector. He brought
out his candidate, instructed all his SUBJ
jects to vote for him, and the result was
q magnificent victory. In the last few
months he frequently paid visits to
Rome, Florence, Paris and other cities
for pleasure. The police who killed him
owed their triumph to the treachery OF
one of his bandit companions.
