Preparing For Shad Shipments.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has erected a shipping platform at the
foot of Delaware street for the accom-
mediation Of the shad fishermen. The cars
will be run directly to the wharf and
loaded there during the busy season. so
that the unnecessary expense and labor
OF hauling may be avoided
Tho weather remains too cold for the
shad to come up although a few are be-
Ing caught everyday. Several boats were
out yesterday. but those fishermen who
were persistent enough to face the un-
pleasant weather were scarcely repaid
for their labor for they only averaged
about five or six fish to a boat.

building operations Of the Baldt plant
have been forced to suspend work for a

to give then a few days rest Operations
will be resumed on Monday morning.
