BOARD OF FISHERIES.
Appointive Power May BE Taken from
the Governor.

An effort will be made at the next session
of the Legislature TO take from the Gov
ernor the power to appoint the State
Board of Fisheries. according TO trust
worthy information received i'm this city.
There is asserted to be considerable dissat-
isfaction in the region of the Chesapeake
Bay over the enforcement of o. oyster
Of the Board. The movement to make
o the Board The movement 90 make
the Board appointve by the Legislature
is 90 bo the outcome OF the strife.
It is stated that the friends of Captain
Hudgins who is in command of the prin-
cipal police boat the Cheas 9eake do not
like the way in which he has been treated
by the Board. The trouble grew out of
the yellow fever scare. The Chesapeake
was ordered 20 DO service as quarantine
patrol. whereupon the crew objected 60
ing TO the extreme, it is said, of quitting
~ vessel. The mutinOus crew after
wards brought charges against Captain
lludgins. alleging among other things,
that the Captain kept them on insufficient
and unfit fare. The Board considered the
charges. and the vote was a tie for and
against the Captain.
The Board of Fisheries is made appoln-
tive by the Governor, as are the Board
of Agriculture and the Commissioners of
Agriculture. An effort VIII be made 10
is asserted. TO have all these appointments
made by the Legislature.
1t is not stated who M introduce the
measure that will be required TO make
th, changes i'm contemplation. il IS pro-
bable, however that the fight on the
present low governing the matter viii be
made by members from those counties and
districts embraced I'm the area In which
the oyster laws are enforced.
Besides transferring the appointing pow
er the Legislature will very likely be ask
ed to revise some of the other laws touch

First Coasting Accident.

( With the joys of coasting, each year
brings also it's accidents, and there is
'scarcely. an exception to the rule that
some one must suffer from bones broken
while going down on the "bobs." Yes
terday the first accident of the year oc-
Cured.
Ivan Gibbons, the 14-year-old con of
Ralph Gibbons, was one of the occupants
of large bob sled which was going
down Union cut at rapid rate, when a
sleigh started up the hill.-< The boy who
was guiding the sled. steered it to one
side, but not far enough for all OF his
passengers to escape encountering it,
and Ivan proved to be the unfortunate
one. As they passed, his left leg caught
in the runner of the sleigh and two
bones were broken about six inches
above the ankle.
His companions at once took him
to his home, block distant, and DIR.
Logan, who was called, reduced the
fracture. He is now getting along as
well as could be expected.

The interior department has called
upon Capt. Ormsby tor report in this
connection, and before rendering it he
wishes to ascertain the views of the
sheep owners with regard to the pro-
posed change. This matter is a very
important one, as the grazing question
has been a perplexing one ever since

tination they found everything cozy and
comfortable awaiting their arrival.
Two hours were spent in music, games
and general good time, supplemented
by lunch, which tasted all the better

appetites. About 10 80 they started

A company of good actors is promised
with "On the Suwanee River" which
comes to the Vogt opera house next
Monday evening, January 18th. Will
lard Newell, who takes the part of
Caleb Croc, the miser, has one of the
most difficult parts in the play and
acquits himself with distinction. His
makeup is natural and his impersona-
tion is without exaggeration or weakness
in any particular. The play is a story
of the unhappiness of two lovers for
whom the Vaccinations of the covetous
Croc make difficulties seemingly IN
surmountable. Dora Clayton is made
blind by the murder of her step-father,
Colonel Clayton, and Frank Clayton
looses his reason by the shock of the
same crime. Their recovery and the
death of Croc leaves everything peaceful
and happy. During the play numerous
specialties will be introduced by the
Fountain City Quartette, Stella Mayhem
and Fred Truesdell. A carload oi
special scenery will be used in the pre-
| sentation.
