In the water at Passapatansa creek yester-
day. 1t is a seine of about 800 fathoms-
and Is being operated by AL Faunce Green
pass or chub are very plentiful, fishermen
reporting that the river is literally filled
with them. In many Of the creeks, the fish
ermen say, they are plentiful as herring
are in the spring and early summer
Last week the firm of Neitzey & Bal
lenger handled three tons of them, and they
We're all caught within a radius of thirty
miles. Most Of these fish are caught in and
small seines, while other fish are caught In
traps. The traffic in green bass or club
has made 'Fishtown more active this WIN
ter than usual.
There Is good supply of oysters at the
wharf now. The boats which left here after
the ice got out of the river are returning
with loads from points on the lower Poto-
mac. About>5, 600 bushels of oysters arrived
yesterday.

JOHN BLANCHARD'S CAREER
Young Man Who Committed Recent Rob
berry in This City.
Is Serving n Term Mt Sing Sing, N. v
attempts to HypnOtixe
the Judge.

John D. Blanchard. the young man who
is wanted here for having robbed his en-
ployer, F. ]. Schmidt. at 517 14th street, of
Sis several weeks ago. will probably never
be punished for the theft. After leaving
here, as alleged, with the proceeds of the
haul he was arrested in New York for rob-
berry in the second degree. He was sem
fenced 20 twelve years in Sing Sing, where
he is now serving his sentence.
Blanchard, who is said to be we'll con-
nected, Is about thirtyfour years old. He
had served a sentence of three years at
Elmira for beating a girl and two years
and six months for forgery before he came
here in 1897. In February of that year he
was accused in this city of having passed
alleged worthless checks on several promi-
nent merchants and arrested by De-
teCtive Frank Helan. Having paid the pen
atty for these offenseS he returned to this
city and Mr.. Schmidt, who knew of his
past, played the part of good Samaritan
toward him. Blanchard's subsequent con-
duct made it evident that the kindness was
misplaced.
New Year day Blanchard was in a sa-
loon in New York city and the last of his
stolen money was about gone A small
hoy named Harry Barcal. who had 81 81,
in his pocket book. entered the saloon and
asked to have his dollar bill changed He
wanted this done so that he would have a
number of pieces of silver in his pocket
book, and would consequently feel that he
had money to throw away
Inc bartender did not accommodate the
boy and Blanchard followed him to the
doorway of his home, knocked him down
and robbed him Last Friday the prisoner
appeared before Judge Foster. in general
sessions, for sentence. He boosted that
while in prison he had made a study of
hypnotism, and that he would hypnotize
the Judge so that the latter would let him
GO Judge Foster looked through his
glasses at the prisoner a few moments and
then said:
Well, Blanchard, they say you're hyp-
notist?''
That's just what am the prisoner re-
piled.
Then followed a few minutes of silence
and the spectators We're very much inter-
tSted IN what was going on.
Judge Foster looked at Blanchard while
the latter made his alleged hypnotic passes
and thsn he broke silence by saving:
That will do, Blanchard Twelve wears

Then the bailiffs had trouble in restoring
order.
