DESTRUCTIVE GERMAN CARP.
of Them, And Our fishermen Look
GIoomiIy Upon the Fact-They Are
Exceedingly Destructive of all
other Fish and IL is Feared that
I'm Our

The Cape Fear river seems to be full
Of German carp. The Messenger noted
that a school of these fish appeared in
Princess street dock On Saturday and
that a crowd had great luck in pulling
them out with hook Il line. Yester-
day afternoon all the docks ON the wa
ter front appeared TO be alive with
them, and large numbers were caught
at Princess. Market and Dock street
docks.
1t is evident that there are large
numbers Of German carp in the Cape
Fear and probably this accounts to
some extent for the di,linution of shad
in the past few years. Carp are very
destructive not only OF the small fry
of other fish but they have been known
to exterminate fish nearly as large as
themselves. They are very prolific and
grow to a large size, and the fact that
they are here in such large numbers
causes our fishermen anxiety. They
may now be destroying the young shad
recently planted in the river by the
United States fish commission and the
small fry Of the shad which run up our
streams to propagate.
Some fifteen or twenty years 6 the
newspapers created a perfect craze over
German carp n they were brought to
this country in great numbers and
planted in ponds all over the country.
They were said to be great producers
and rapid growers, which turned out to
be true, but they have not been favor
ties as a food fish, owing to their
coarseness. What can be done to exter-
inmate them is now the question.

Wachstein-WiIensk Trouble fl
State Court Now.

Wachste1n- WIlensky Trouble In
State Court Now.
The Broughton street ARRAY in which
M. Wilensky was cow-hided by Joseph
Wachstein was transferred from the
Police Court to a magistrates office
yesterday morning.
Wachstein was arraigned before Re-
corder Myrick and was fined SIS or fif-
teen days for the disorder he created
on the streets. He promptly paid the
fine and went before Justice Naugh-
tin and had a warrant issued charging
Wilensky with having carried
concealed weapon. Wilensky
furnished bond for his ap
pearance in the City Court, and
swore out warrant in the same office
charging Wachstein with assault and
battery. That individual also furnished
bail.
The assault was prompted by an cpl
tibet applied by Wilensky to Wach-
STEMS aged father at a wedding. Wi
lensky contended that he had been
first insulted by Wachstein, who had
in charge the paying out of the ex-
pense money. Wilensky denied that
he drew a revolver on young Wach-
stein, whom he declares struck him
and ran. Patrolman Rauzin stated that
he found no pistol on Wilensky and
that Wachstein appeared to think that
he was going to be hurt.
