Mr.. Appleby for more than twenty years.
The resolutions, which were seconded by
Mr.. Johnson and adopted unanimously. set
forth that the time-honored custom of the
bar of formally taking notice of the death
of one of its members who has rendered
long distinguished service in its ranks
is worthily observed by offering tribute to
the memory of George Franklin Appleby,
who for more than quarter of a century
and until stricken down by Illness was con-
spicuous among its ablest counselors and
advocates.
ITO his associates he was always gener-
Gus without stint, helpful and sympa-
thetic. Himself honorable in all things, he
exacted absolute integrity of conduct alike
from adversary and associate, and was I'M
sparing of one who lapsed from the strict
est rectitude of the severest requirements
of professional ethics.
Though deprived by illness for many
years past from participation in the activt-
ments during health is remembered by
those of his then associates one full of
success and honor and of unfailing faith

END OF HERRING RUN.
The "Joe Dace" Appear and Foretell
Close Of Season.

The little fish called by fishermen Joe
Dace, which mark the end of the herring
run for the season, made their appearance
in the river below Alexandra Saturday, and
it is safe to say the close Of the fishing sea-
son is not far away. Plum Tree Gut and
Roan's fishing shore, near River View, cut
out recently, leaving only the larger shores
at Stoney Point and Fairy Landing in op
Grafton. 1t is only a question of a few
days before they, too. cease operations for
the season. White perch. which always
follow and prey on herring, are being
caught by the fishermen in good numbers
and are selling we'll While herring have
been plentiful, shad have been scarce; but,
taking the season together, the fishermen
should have made some money, as prices
have kept high, shad averaging between 30
and 40 cents each and herring $3.50 per
thousand. These are higher average prices
than have prevailed for a good many years
One fisherman who hauled seine in Oxon
run, Maryland, opposite Alexandria, yes.
terday caught about fifty fine bass, besides
a large quantity of mullets and carp and
some few herring The bass found ready
sale in the markets at Philadelphia, to
which point they were shipped.
