ATLANTIC CITY's BIG FIRE.
Originated In Academy of Music-Half
a Block Burned-Loss,
SR5.OOO.

Atlantic City, N. j.. Feb. IA fire which
originated in the Academy of Music this
morning destroyed a half block of build
ngs. entailing a loss of about ST.. 900 before
being got under control
The origin of the fire is mystery. Of
ficer Robinson first discovered smoke issu-
ing from under the board walk in front of
the Academy of Music. A general alarm
was sent in. but before the engines arrived
the Academy of Music was enveloped in
flames. The fire spread to Lapres' con-
fectionery store and there communicated to
the rear of the Bryn Mawr hotel, and for
a time it looked as though the Berkeley
hotel the largest hostelry on Kentucky ave
nue., would surely be destroyed. The rear
OF the hotel adjoined the burned buildings
and the stiff westerly wind famed the
flames toward the big house. Several lines
of hose were run out of the hotel windows
and the side of the building and surround
ing property was thoroughly drenched The
guests in the Berkeley hotel hurriedly
packed their clothing and prepared for a
hasty exit, but the wind shifted at this time
and this alone saved the hotel.
Owing to the fact that the property de-
stroyed was all beach front buildings there
is very little insurance. the insurance COM
panies refusing to take the risks except at
very high rates.

PUT TAGS ON The GOLDFISH,
SYSTEMATIC METHOD OF GATHER
ING INFORMATION.
Labels Hanging to Their Fins-A
Minute Record to BE Kept of Fish
Which Have Been Released
for rOpagatiOn.

An experiment which is being viewed
with the keenest interest by the fisher
men along the Atlantic coast is now be-
1ng carried on at the United States fish
Matching station at Woods Holl, under
the supervision of Commissioner J. j.
Brice. says the Boston Daily Globe.
With a view TO securing more definite
information regarding some important
points concerning the cod the commission
has begun to turn loose in the waters of
Vineyard sound several hundred cod, which
In weight vary from six to twenty pounds.
The fish were procured from the fishermen
In the vicinity and stripped of their spawn
at this station. Before being released a
numbered tag is fastened to each of the
nsh: This mis-. tag is small piece Of copper
or TIN, and Is securely fastened by copper
wire TO the dorsal, anal or caudal fins.
Commissioner Brice has issued circulars
and sent them to the fishermen and deal
ers, urgently requesting them, when cod
haNlng such tag comes into their hands,
10 remove the tag and forward it to the
United States fish commissioner. either at
washington or at Woods Holl. The COM
mission also requests that the following
information concerning the fish be sent to
them:
taken, weight before dressed, total length
from end to nose TO end of tail, whether
male or female. and whether eggs or milt
were ripe. large but not ripe, or immature;
also the position of the tag.
This inquiry will, II is expected, prove
OF practical interest. by showing. among
other things. the rate of growth of the
cod. the frequency of its spawning and
the extent to which the individual fish
migrate, and the assistance of the gen.
eral public in fishing towns is asked In
order to make the experiment fully sue
cessful.
AS all the fish tagged and liberated by
the commissioners will be caught in Vine
yard sound and the adjacent waters it
will not be a difficult matter to release
them on their natural spawning grounds.
The hsh which are tagged have to be
handed very carefully and skillfully. both
before and after they are brought to the
tation. As Goldfish do not live for a great
length of time after they are taken out
of their native element II is only the near
by fishermen who engage in the business
of catching them. Among the fish thus
far liberated are several that tipped the
scales at over a dozen pounds As soon
as they were tagged they were put into
big tank and taken far out into the
sound and released.
The process of tagging these fish is
quite interesting, and requires the service
OF two skilled operators. A small hole is
made through the dorsal anal or caudal
hns, through which n small copper wire
1sfpassed. To this wire are attached the
tags. which are about one inch In length
one-half inch in width and about the
thickness of writing paper The numbers
are stamped in the middle. A record of
the hsh released is kept in A book espe-
cially designed for that purpose.

THE NEWS AT LEAVENWORTH.
County Commissioners Perpetrate u
Steal on the Taxpayers-Federal
Prison to BE Enlarged.

rT1BOn 10 DC E1hiuESCus
The board of county commissioners met
yesterday and their action in awarding
the county printing showed that they had
no desire to run county affairs an
economical manner. The majority of the
board is Democratic and they voted to
give the printing to the afternoon DEM
ocratic organ. AT the last meeting of the
board the morning Republican paper asked
THAI the board advertise for bids for the
printing, or il this was not done. it Of
fered to do the work for % per cent of
legal rates. AS the printing for last year
amounted to about 81. 500 this proposition
meant a saving TO the taxpayers of over
$1,000. This proposition was heartily in
dorsed by the Civic Federation. which
urged the board to advertise and let the
contract to the lowest responsible bidder.
When the board met yesterday afternoon.
Jacob Geyer. on behalf of the federation.
made talk and urged that bids be called
for. After listening to him. the board
proceeded to ignore the federation. and.
upon motion, gave the printing TO the
Democratic paper at full legal rates. This
is steal which will be remembered by
the taxpayers at the first opportunity.
The board opened bids for the repairs
on four county bridges. but as they did
not come up to the requirements all bids
We're rejected and the county clerk or
dered to readvertise.
