Fishing Notes

Shad fishing has been on the decline
this week. The catch last Monday was
only from 40 to so for the best nets while
4bout 80 on down to a dozen a day have
been the catch the remainder of the
week. Some have quit for the season be-
cause of the small catch.
The catch IN Thursday was 10 and IL
on down.
The wholesale price on Monday was
$35 and the remainder of the week $40.
Most OF the fishermen quit the bay this
week, because the catch of shad was SO
few and the mossbunkers SO numerous
and bothersome.
Sturgeon began to arrive the forepart
of this week in the bay. Seventeen were
caught on Monday and Tuesday, the
largest being worth $185.
The shad run large this year.
Eels are thick. Between $50 and. 2O(
pounds a day are being caught in traps a
the end Of Penn's Grove wharf.

transom now F."
This attack on Miss Gingles is al
legged to have occurred on the 18TH Mrs.
Linderman's visit being on the day fol-
lowing the one when the young lace
maker was found III the bath room.
Miss Gingles's story of this occurrence
aroused comment by its similarity to
her narrative of the alleged attack of
the previous month. She was lured to
the bath room, she testified, drugged,
and the circumstances of the previous
attack repeated with the added detail
of being cut and scratched by some
sharp instrument by the man who had
let her into the room. The man, she
said was assisted by a woman who,
however. left ahead of the man, lock-
ing the door. The man, she declared,
escaped over the transom.
