SOME JERSEY WHALES.

Damage Done to Fisherman's Net by
One Making Its Toilet
Down on the Jersey coast. where
spent the summer last year said a
visitor at the Aquarium to an attend
ant with whom he was talking fish. Il
met a fisherman who told me a story
about n whale-a humpback whale.
This fisherman had pound net
planted Off the beach. The net was
many hundred feet long and cost hun
dredS. | don't know but thousands, of
dollars. One day after he had got the
net set the fisherman saw a little
further off shore humpback whale.
sort Of idlinG around in the water, but
gradually working inshore. 1t was not
unusual to see whales off the coast
and the fisherman wasn't very par
ticularly struck by this whale. even
when he saw he was edGing in toward
the land and toward his pound net. be
cause he expected really every minute
to see Kim sheer off and go to sea
again.
THE idea Of the whale troubling his
pound net never occurred TO him, hut
the first thing he knew the whale was
right alongside of it. The next minute
the fisherman saw the whale rubbing
his back and sides against it. rubbing
the barnacles off his back on his pound
net,
THE hard. tarred rope. tied up in
diamond meshes was just the thing
for this. or would have been if the net
and the stakes had been little
stronger: but apparently it pleased the
whale greatly as it was. He rubbed
long on it slowly, the barnacles catch

being yanked off. or else bunch of

and wrecked or half destroyed it. Then

to doubt this story; lust a little. any

before he came he didn't question that
lit was the simple truth. He said he'd
seen whale rub and roll on a sandy
beach to rub barnacles off, and he
didn't see why whale shouldn't use
q pound net for that if it found one
handy. He said that whales often
cot great numbers OF barnacles on
them, not on the upper part of the
body, but on the sides or back. and
that the barnacles grew and thrived
there Just as they would. for instance.
on a turtle or as they do in enormous
numbers on ships. These barnacles
may not actually irritate the whale
but they impede it's progress Just as
they would a ships. and make the
whale want to get rid of them.

Regulation Honored.

After argument by counsel, which oc.
cupied all the forenoon, Chief Justice Bling.
ham, OF the Supreme Court of the District OF
Columbia, Tuesday afternoon handed down
an opinion turning over to the Maryland
authorities Aaron Bradshaw, John II. Wal.
ter and Granville G. Shaw, of Washington,
for whom acquisitions charging statutory
burning" had been received. acquisitions
charging arson were not honored in the
same cases several days ago.
Immediately upon the rendering of the
chief justices decision the attorneys for the
accused applied to Associate Justice Bar
nard for a writ Of habeas corpus for the
release Of their clients. The matter will be
argued this friday afternoon.
Justice Bingham in his opinion surrender.
ing the accused parties. declared that within
the meaning Of the Constitution the defend.
ants were technically fugitives from justice,
not that they actually fed, but from the fact
Of their being charged with an offense In
one Jurisdiction and being present in an
other.
The Maryland authorities charge the de-
PENDANTS with being implicated in the al
legged incendiary burning of the Bryant
mansion at Four Corners, this county, in
September, 1897. Thomas H Pickford, OF
Washington, who, with Mr.. Walter, owned
the property, is also made q defendant by
the Maryland authorities, and he has al
ready placed himself under the Jurisdiction
Of the Maryland courts, giving bond for his
appearance here when wanted.

Manila Fraud Trials.

A dispatch from Manila, dated April is,
says; The trial of Commissary Sergeant
John Weston, charged with completely in
the commissary frauds, is finished. No YER
dict was announced and Meston's conviction
is uncertain. Other trials of those impli-
Gated will follow.
Captain James @. Read, formerly depot
commissary at Manila, has been arrested.
II Is alleged that entries upon the books
OF Evans & Co., government contractors,
indicate that the commissary officers re
ceivea the following sums Major George
b. Davies, upward of $1,000; Captain Jas
Q. Read, 81 900; Captain Frank H. Law.
ton, $3.50; Mr.. b. Tremaine, Col. Wood
ruff's chief clerk, 800.
1t also appears that Evans & Co., fur
nished the handsome residence of Colonel
Woodruff. Harold M. Pitt, manager of Ev-
ans u Co., who is now under arrest, was
VIGOROUSLY lavish in entertaining commits
sary and other officers. while the depot com.
missary, daily trequenter of the "Tender.
loin district" occasionally spent days at
Pitts house in questionable society.
Pitts house is bacchanalian rendezvous,
and prominent officers frequently visited it,
drinking champagne and playing poker.
Women OF doubtful reputation have often
been known to be there.
1t is alleged that Pitt had the inside track

also asserted that he was the prime mover

addition to what the transports brought, the
