COURT RULING ON SEEMING
Law Protecting FOod Fish Not Ap-
plicable to Bait.
Therefore Three Young Men Who
Were Arrested Yesterday Are
Discharged From Custody.

Judge Kinlhall made an interesting rul-
ing on the question of fishing with nets
or seines in the Potomac River within the
jurisdiction OF the District of Columbia.
Harry Oliver, George Castleman and
Albert Saul, three young men, were in the
tolls for having on the 25th of this month
used nets or seines in securing smal fish
in the river.
1t appeared from the testimony adduced
that the three defendants were fishing
for bull-minnows for bait purposes, and the
officers who arrested them could not he
positive that large fish were in evidence
at the points where they were using their
nets.
Judge Kirnball requested Prosecuting At
torney Mullowny 10 read the law On the
subject.
This law constituted the provisions of
the act approved March 2, 1855, and amend
ed in 1890, to protect food fish in the
Potomac River within the District and
set forth that no one shall use nets or
seines in the capture of food fish in the
river.
The penalty prescribed for each offense
is minimum fine OF SIC maximum 500.
The court laid down the opinion that the
act was TO protect shad, herring, and other
large food fish in the river and does not
apply to the securing of small fish for bait.
IF the defendants" said the court, had
been foundfishingon on the spawning grounds
of the food fish, they would be liable to
the penalty imposed In the act to protect
the food fish, but it appears that the young
men were seDing in the shallow water
where only the small bait fish were in evil
dence.'
The charge against the defendants was
accordingly dismissed.

Ninety Miles an Hour.

tits asserted that duringrecent trials
the Hellmann electric locomotive at
tanned speed Of ninety miles an hour
with a light train, and that tits expected
to easily reach q speed Of seventy-fve
miles an hour in ordinary running with
a train of $50 tons in weight. The re-
suits Of the recent experiments have
induced the Western Railway Of France
to construct two large locomotives on
this system. The experimental en-
CINE, which was capable of drawing
seventy to eighty tons at fifty miles an
hour, established the contention that
the engine had great stability, less
vibration and swaying than the ordin:
ary steam locomotive, that the coal
consumption was about fourteen
pounds per mile when drawing a load
Of sixty five tons, and that other adj
vantages in the better regulation OF
speed were realized. The locomotive
is sixty-one feet long and weighs 12(
tons, which is greatly in excess OF the
ordinary locomotive.

Powdered Coal as Fuel.

For some years past there have been
experiments with the coal dust and
pulverized coal Of various degrees of
tneness, with y view to ascertaining
how much saving Of fuel there is in
using coal in this fine state. It has
been demonstrated that with suitable
feeding machinery the saving may
amount to over forty-ive per cent.
above the coal fed on ordinary fire
bars. This point is reached in q
cupola furnace Of the most approved
construction. There are several
methods Of burning coal dust. One
is the use Of a feeding apparatus con-
sisting of rotary brushes thai throw
the dust into the ire-box in con-
tinuous shower. THIS, of course,
renders the fuel supply Independent
Of .dampness or the possibility OF
clogging up. Another plan is to
drive the dust into the furnace by
powerful currents of air. It seems 10
matter but little how the dust is fed.
There is manifest economy in its
use, and as soon as the proper dust
feeding machinery is perfected tha
fuel problem viii be much less diff.
cult to struggle with.
