Capt. George Cook of the steamer Estelle
Randall reports having seen an otter on
the ice in the vicinity OF Fort Foote yes
terday afternoon. This is not far from
where Capt. T. A. Owens saw the pair OF
offers about two weeks ago. Captain Cook
reports the animal to be quite large and
as well as he could make out II had a fur
coat of brown color. Several days ago
an otter was shot on the Nantcoke river
near Sharpstown. Md, by a fisherman. but
they are very rare. These reported in
the river are. as far can be ascertained.
the first that have been seen in this VI
entity for number OF years. 1t is thought
that the animals have been forced from
their underwater homes In one Of the
creeks emptying into the Potomac by the
ice, and have made their way to the deeper
water of the river In search of food.
The supply of fresh fish sale at the
wholesale fish markets on the 18th street
wharf was light this morning and con-
sisted chiefly of shad, herring, mullets and
a few other variet es from Florida and
southern waters. The demand was fair at
prices rather above the average.
The total supply of oysters in the shell
on sale at the wholesale fish market on
the wharf is less than 500 bushels and
only scant supply is being received from
Norfolk. AS the ice over the Chesapeake
oyster beds is disappearing an increase in
the supply from Norfolk is looked for. To-
day prices ranged from s1.30 per bushel up
to S1.J0.
The few wild ducks being received by
the dealers at the wholesale fish markets
here are selling readily and at high figures.
The new power launch building at the
boathouse of Cumberland & Son at the foot
of 9th street for Mr.. Gustave Forsberg will
be completed and ready for service before
April 1. The framework of the hull is
about completed and the planking will be
started in few days. AS yet no name
has been selected for the new launch. She
is to be used for pleasure cruising on the
river.
The steam launch Joe Blackburn. which
punched hole in her bottom by falling
against pile and sank In the dock at the
wharf, foot of 18th street southwest, Is to
be raised as soon as the ice leaves the
river. She will be hauled out on a railway
to have her damaged hull repaired and will
be made ready for service on the river
during the summer months. The Black
burn is the largest of the fleet of pleasure
craft owned here that Is equipped with
steam power

General River News.

Steamboat men here are much wrought
up over the change in the steamboat regu-
lations allowing the carrying Of gasoline
motor vehicles on steamboats,, with their
fuel tanks filled with the explosive oil. 1t
is contended that this measure invites dis
asters steamers and increases the dan
ger of fires. instead of reducing the danger,
as the new regulations are expected to do.
Steamers carrying passengers are not al
lowed to carry gasoline in barrels but they
can take aboard a motor vehicle with
barrel of gasoline in It's fuel tank.
The farmers residing in the northern neck
of Virginia along the Potomac are sending
eggs and other produce twenty and thirty
miles to Fredericksburg, from which point
they are shipped by rail to this city. Groc-
cries and other supplies are being obtained
from Fredericksburg by the northern neck
merchants to tide them over the freeze
until the steamboats, are able to resume
their trips
of Fort Foote wharf yesterday afternoon
the officers of the steamer Estelle Randall
took a block of ice from the river which,
when measured, was found to be thirteen
inches thick and very hard and clear, with
no sign of frozen snow on 1t. In moving
through this ice the pillow OF the steamer
brew a large cake of ii upon the forward
deck of the boat. but no harm was done.
Light vessel No. II. the relief ship of the
Diamond Shoals station, on the coast OF
North Carolina is at Baltimore having
considerable repair work done to her en-
CINE and boiler preparatory to her next
tour of duty for three months on the lone

The schooners A. II. Quimby and Sidonia
Curley are at a lumber trading port on the
Rappahannock river taking aboard cargo
of pine lumber for this city.
The schooner Lizzie A. Williams. which
sailed from Newbern, n. c. for this city
with a cargo of shingles, is reported to be
lying at Norfolk, waiting the removal OF
the ice embargo.
The schooner C. c. Wheeler is lying in
Carriers creek. Va, loading a cargo for
this city.
The United States army tug Gibbon is not
out of commission entirely. Although her
trips to this city have been abandoned she
is still making a daily trip in the ice be-
tween Fort Washington and Fort Hunt.
Capt. Jack Taylor. owner of the tug
Cumiia, has received a letter from that
vessel stating that she is still frozen up in
the Wicomico river. and in all probability
will be there for several days yet. No
tidings have been had of the tug VIM. II.
Yerkes since she left Baltimore for the WI
comico. and she is thought to be in safe

IN THE POLICE COURT.
Jehn Lombard Got Double Dose il
 Couit To-day

It is not so very long ago that tc commit prisoner to BroOkside Wal merely another way of letting him off, for it was common thing to see him at large the day he was committed. And the idea of prosecuting him for escaping was not thought of. Indeed, the mans friends would take measures to see that the superintendent of Brookside would not forget the day he prosecuted him, or even if he thought of it. But they never did then. E. W. Pinney used to say: Well, what can we do with them? If you put a ball and chain on them they can't work and what good are they in the aims, house if they won't work: That's what they were sent there for. to work, and you can't get them to work by tying them up." But times and things have changed and the man who runs away from the almshouse. as some still call BroOkside hOnle. will not he given a chance to run away from it again. John Lombard must know this for he has the distinction of being the first man to be prosecuted for running away from Brookslde. Last April when the inmates were putting in q water main along the WatertOwn road. good men were scarce on the job and Lombard was sentenced to thirty days in the home. He was put to work on the water main, but he escaped and last night he was arrested on ScOyill street for intoxication. Then it occurred to the police that he was wanted for running away from Rrookside last April. Loni. bard had nothing to say for himself to-day and he was sentenced to New Haven jail for thirty days for intoXi' cation and thirty more for being SC foolish as to run away from Brook side
 C. D. Waterman was fined S7 and costs for intoxication. Officer kier sted found him glued to c'nSswalk on South Main street last night.
 Harvey Miller was haled in bv Off cer Gabriel Miller was divided as tc whether he would stop the Rnss0-Jap- anesa WAT ordiscnver the north pole when the officer dronned upon him This took place on Exchange place. Miller was fined S5 and costs.

TENURE OF OFFICE.
Deductions and Percentages Would Pay Insurance Policies for Teachers

People are still chafing under the methods used to push the tenure Of office and pension bill through the leg islature. In the discussion the teact' CTS are getting rapped for their tilDidl ty. If they mean what they say they should have said so when the petitiop was presented to them instead of sisn' ing it and then looking to their friends to oppose a bill which they had already signed. What they claim they wanted was yes and mo" vote on the qucs. ton conducted by committee not il any way connected with the schools, and they thought the aldermen would attend to this. What is worrying them now is that the percentage to be de. ducted from their salaries and the lost time will amount to as much in the rounds of the year as would pay foi !: nice endowhieht policy in regular insurance company and in this way Il would come in handy for them whetli' CT they remained teaching or not They excuse their own conduct in the prem. ises by saying that the board of alder. men and the men folks generally should not have left them at the mercy of those who conceived the idea and made them swallow it." Assuming that all this is true, teachers in the public schools have not as much pluck as women in other walks of life. SucE d thing could not be done with girls in store or factory. so that while there is strong public sentiment against the bill, few appear to hae much sympathy at this stage of the pl loceedings for teachers who feel ag. grieved but lacked the courage of their convictions and allowed themselves to be talked into helping along something which they didn't want.

HRS. RO0SEVELT'S GOWN. Pattern Designed is CsldsA Doves
 on eaekdrssnd sf"Al.ee Blus."

Material for Mrs Roosvelt's inau- guration gown is being woven at the William Strange silk mill in Paterson. \. ]. It is of an entirely new design and new shade. Mrs Roosevelt sug- gested the design. and the shade will he known as Alice blue. in honor of the presidents daughter. who selected it from material she saw at the St Louis fair.
 While admiring tn. new shade. which comes near to an electric blue. Mrs Roosevelt conceived the idea that if doves were woven into th, goods if woull make handsome gown for the inauguration reception. When the de sign was completed according to her ideas. it repre~. nte.i fock of doves flying diagonalIy across q blue back ground.
 The largest dove is little less than two inches from the tip of one wing to ihe tip of the othe-. They decrea~,. in size until the smallest is very min ufe- The doves are woven i.l gold tin- <el and in such a manner that. as the goods are held up to the light and slowly turned. the doves seem to sink into the backeround and slowly disa,- pear The. work of weaving the goods was begun three weeks ago.

aDuKE OF KILLICRANKIE."

\ large and perhaps as well pleased an audience as ever entered Poli's the ater was there last evening to witness John Drew and a more than interest ing company present the farcical TO- nance. ''The Duke of killicrankie." John Drew is always Il pleasing and entertaining actor ind while he may not have bsen placed advantageouSly for himself in some of the other pror
 iuciions in which he has appeared, yet in this new vehicle created for him he rides with easy grace and presents d play as pleasing as it is ap- petizing. There was but little plot i0 if. but the little that did show itself was unravelled hl SO smooth and charming manner that when tlr~ time for closing came the people play was beautifully staged and every little feature re,eivesl as much promin- snre as was possible. MT Drew did not carly off all tho l,S.IorS. either. in his character of the Dusa of killi- crankie. for he yTatuitou~ly shared them with Ferdinand 'iotts' halk as Henry Pitt-Welby. NJ. F.. and Miss Margaret Dale aS Henrietta Addison. The others. too. in the east filled thcir roles 90 we'll that il does seem unSratc- ful to seI.c; q few. Assout the s.Ily plot to it was that the duke hovcf Henrietta and to win her he aislucted her. keI.t be- in his castle a prisoner until Iy a clever ru>e he made her de- clare her love for him.
