The Fishery.

There was more animation at Fish
town this morning than on any other day
this season, more cutters being at work.
The odor of the place Is also becoming
more pronounced Receipts, however,
are still light and prices firm as the rock
of Gibraltar. Shad were held at $50 to
$40 per hundred and herring at from 81
to So per thousand. Rock, perch, bass
and bunch fish are scarce and beyond the
reach of many, there being a steady
demand in northern markets for this
class of the fnny tribe and the rapid
transit of the present day enabling those
who catch fish to send them on as son
as they are taken from the water. GIL ,
are reporting better results. Those o?c.-
ating nets between Jones's Point and
Fort Washington caught between 20 and
80 shad each last night. The approach
to Fishtown is still causing much COM
plant. Some merchants who are COM
PEELED to 90 there daily are wearing
rubber boots. The path from Princess
street north is so narrow that it reminds
one of what is known as "The Jews
Leap" in the mountains of Africa. ]!

pedestrians moving in opposite directions

over the square alluded to above, else

An Interesting Relic.

Alexandria has often boosted of inter
esting relics of revolutionary and pre-
revolutionary days, and tourists who
come here evince no little interest in
curiosities which are displayed. On
Wednesday large crowd from a north
ern city were leisurely gazing upon his
toric spots and naturally appeared at the
Braddock House. On the pavement a
dilapidated and antique baby carriage
was a prominent feature, and one of the
tourists had his attention directed to it.
He asked youth who is employed there
to make explanations to strangers what
history was connected with the liliputian
vehicle, when the yOungster enlightened
the visitor by informing him that it was
the identical carriage in which George
Washington rolled his children about
Mount Vernon.

CHARGE DISMISSED.


Officer TIGER Arraigned for Being In
toxicated April 2nd-Lieutenant
Smith the PIaintiff-Charge Dis
missed.
The case Of Officer Samuel TIGER,
charged by Lieutenant Smith with be-
ing drunk and unable to perform duty
on the End instant, was examined by
Mayor Simpson this morning. But
few spectators we're present. The case
occupied about forty minutes.
Lieutenant Smith upon being sworn
testified that he was alone in the station
house between one and two O'Clock on
the afternoon of April 2 when Mr..
TIGER entered, smelling of liquor, and
told him he had been drunk for three
DAYS. and attributed his action to do
nestle infelicity.
MAYOR Simpson observed that the
lieutenant had based his charge, then,
upon what the accused had voluntarily
told him. The lieutenant said he had,
and reminded the Mayor that in
February he had made similar charge
against Mr.. TIGER and that his honor
had told him the QieutenanD to adj
monish the delinquent.
DR.. T. NJ. Jones testified that about
9 o'clock on the night of April 2 he
had been called to take several stitches
in Mr.. TIGERS head. He had received
a severe cut. The patient said some
one had struck him; members of his
family. however, declared he had had
fall. The doctor said he detected the
fumes of liquor, and Mr.. TIGER APP
peared in semi-dazed condition, al
though he was perfectly rational and
answered all questions propOunded III
proper manner
Chief Webster was putupon the stand.
His evidence had no direct bearing upon
the case at issue. He said he often de-
tected the odor of liquor on different
officers but charged no one with having
been drunk.
Officer Sherwood said Mr.. TIGER came
into the station house about half-past Z
o'clock on the night Of April 2 while
defendant and Lieutenant Smith were in
the station house. Mr.. TIGER walked
into the corridor, hung up his stick and
went out. He saw nothing in his de-
meanor to indicate that he was intoxi-
Gated. Lieutenant Smith had averred
that he had not seen Mr.. TIGER from
half-past one the same evening until
Thursday morning.
Mr.. Ticer at this juncture interposed
and denied in toto that he entered the
station house at the hour given by the
lieutenant. He did go there at half-past
7 o'clock, found that he had left his PTS
toll at home, started to return for it and
fell and cut his head.
Officer Griffin testified that he met
Mr.. TIGER at Lee and Prince streets at a
quarter to two o'clock on the afternoon
of April 2, and accompanied him to a
store. The accused was sober at that
time. He further said he later entered
the station house with him and that Mr..
Sherwood was there at the time.
The Mayor finally summed up the
case and decided that the charge against
the officer had not been sustained and
dismissed the accused.
