The Fishery.

Whatever hopes were produced yes.
terday among fishermen by the mild
weather we're scattered this morning by
the return of cold and rainy conditions
The depression was apparent at Fish,
town, the few persons who appeared
there being gathered around in a pessi-
mistic mood. The prospects for lu-
crative business are by no means good,
and while the fishermen are resting on
their oars, time is flying, and the expense
of maintaining crews at the shores Is
dead loss. 1t is feared that when there
is plethora Of fish the prices will be loo
low for profit and that warm weather
will force "cut outs" before any profit
can be gained from the outlay. A few
shad are appearing in the river, gillers
reporting catches of from two to sever
on a drift. Herring are gradually In,
creasing. Small jags Of rock, perch anC
black bass still arrive. They brlne
fancy prices in northern markets u
which points they are hurried by TINT
agents.

The Demurrage Case.

The recent decision of the Court OF
Appeals of Virginia in the demurrage
case, sustaining the Corporation Com
mission, is cause OF considerable sat
isfaction in commercial circles through
out the State. The railroads were con-
testing the constitutionality Of thepowers
of the commission in relation to inter-
state commerce. Mr. r. A. Dunlap,
secretary of the Virginia Board OF Trade,
has addressed a letter to Mr.. NJ. b.
Harlow, a member of the board and
president of the Business Mems League
of this city, conveying congratulations
concerning the affirmation by the appel
late court of the action of the commits
sion in the demurrage case. In his letter
he says "The beneficial effects of this
decision, both moral and substantial, to
the shipping interests of the State are
incalculable."

Sneak Thief.

As has been stated in the Gazette,
Charles Baker, South Carolina negro,
was arrested yesterday by Officers Gill
and Beach for stealing shoes and cloth
Ing from the Hotel Appich. While go
ing up to his room on the second floor
Mr.. Charles r. Lowenbach, guest of
the hotel, encountered the negro--who
wore long overcoat and carried some
clothing on his arm-on the stairway.
Suspecting that the man was a thief Mr..
Lowenbach halted. him and asked him
what he was doing in the hotel. The
negro stated that he had just brought
the oyercoat and other wearing apparel
from man upstairs, but not satisfied
with the explanation Mr.. Lowenbach
collared the intruder and compelled him
to 90 to the bar, where he turned him
over to Mr.. +. G. Spinks jr., the mana
ger, who was behind the bar at the time.
Later Mr.. Lowenbach discovered that
his overcoat, suit of clothes, and some
shirts were missing. He placed revolt
yer in his pocket and returned to the first
floor, but as he entered the bar the negro
darted through the front door, and ran
down King street, closely pursued by
Mr. Lowenbach, Mr.. Spinks, George
Appich, and a colored porter. The
darkey turned north on Washington
street and ran up the nearest alley, when
Mr.. Lowenbach shOtat him, but without
effect other than to make the man take
refuge in the first open gate he came to,
which proved to be the rear entrance to
the hotel. Baker was found in an
clubhouse on the premises and turned
over to Officers Gill and Beach. The
negro was before Justice Cation this
morning and the evidence against him
was substantially as given above. Baker
who has recently been released from Jail
for non payment of fine for assault,
stated that he was drunk when he enter
ed the hotel and that the clothes were
given to him by another man. During
the examination Of the case it developed
that the prisoner, previous to going TO
the Hotel Appich, had visited the Hotel
Kramer, where he had stolen suit OF
clothes and a pillow case. He sold the
clothes to a secondhand dealer for
81 60. This charge Baker denied; al.
though the dealer positively identified
him as the man who disposed of the
clothing. Justice Cation sent him on to
court The clothing taken from Mr..
Lowenbach's room in the Hotel Appich
was valued at over 800.

Violating Fishing Law.

As has been stated in the Gazette, sew
eral colored men who were hauling a
seine from lOngboat in the Potomac
river, within the limits of the District
of Colombia, were taken in custody Tues
day evening by Washington policeman.
Two colored boys and one white boy were
in the party. They were escorted to the
station house where they gave their names
as Charles Jackson, George Jones and
James Banks, thirty, twenty-five twenty
years Of age respectively. The boys were
Ivering Dudley, Herbert Lomax and
Charles Sorrell, the last uamed being
white. Each OF the boys is fifteen years
old, and all said they livedin Alexandria
as did also the three men. There was
only a small number Of fish in the boat,
and they were confscated by the police.
The men each pleaded guilty when ar
raigned before Judge Scott Of the Police
Court yesterday morning on charge OF
violating the fishing law, and fine OF
$40 was imposed on each. A sentence OF
three months in Jail for each was named
as the alternative. The boys were taken
before Judge Kimball in the Juvenile
Court later in the day, where they were
given hearing. The Sorrell boy was re-
leased on his personal bonds, but the
iudge stated that he would fine LomaS
and Dudley $40 each. 1t was pointed
out to the court that the boys are residents
of Alexandria, and would not remain
under the observation of the board OF
guardians, as would be necessary in de-
fault of payment, but wonld go direct to
their homes when released. Their release
it was stated follow, as the board did mo-
have place where they could be held
aud in such cases juveniles were necessa
rily paroled. Judge Kimball thereupocr
directed that they be returned to th'
house of dett ntion indefinitely.

Migratory Birds.

Mr.. Roy Beach has erected hand
some and commodious box near the b.
& 0. transfer slip for the accommo-
dation of martins. Capt. A. j. Fair
placed one in position about two years
ago. Tenants" have already appeared,
and full houses are expected in the
next few weeks. Since the advent OF
the English sparrow migratory birds
have became exceedingly scarce here
abouts, and apart from swallows and
martins but few of the ieathery creation
come here from southern climes during
summer. The blue bird, so heartily
welcomed in the spring in years gone
by, is now a subject for museum, as
are the many other varieties that form
erly summered in this city.

The funeral of the late Burton N.

The remains of the late General Will

Der Of friends of the deceased, including
many ex-Confederates, accompanied the

Accident at Transfer Slip.

Another accident occurred at the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad transfer
slip, at the foot of Wolfe street, this
morning, by which one freight car was
precipitated from the barge into the
channel of the river and two others
stood on end and ready to takea plunge.
A misplaced switch at the east end OF
the tunnel caused heaccident. A train
destined for north Union street was be-
ing backed down Wilkes street, and the
switch not being set so il could turn to
the northeast when it emerged from the
tunnel, caused the train to run due east
out on the transfer slip and on the barge
which had just arrived with a load OF
cars from Shepherds, with the result
given above. The engineer of the train
was unable to see which track his train
had taken from the fact that the locomo:
tive was far up in the tunnel enveloped
in smoke and steam, and he was unaware
of what was going on until his train
came to a standstill. A wrecking train
soon arrived and the work of resc uing
