head

Unusual Feature of the Potomac
Fishing Season

There was q slight falling off in the re-
ccipts of shad from all sources yesterday
but this morning the receipts from the
nets in the river We're largely increased
by the supplies brought here by the
steamer Wakefield, from Nomini and river
points. and the steamer Northumberland
from Coan and ST. Marys and other points
in the mouth of the river. A strange
feature of the Potomac fishing season is
the unusually large number of shad be-
ing caught and the scarcity OF Potomac
herring This condition will not last and
II is but a question of d few DAYS before
herring will he caught by the thousands
where Shad are captured by the hundred.
Shad are selling at from - to 80 cents
each for bucks and from 40 to 73 cents
each for roes. Herring are selling at 81
per hundred and are in very brisk de-
mand. The receipts of catfish. yellow
perch. carp and other bunch fish from
Windmill Point fishing shore and the nets
along the river continue quite heavy the
river steamers having over a hundred
packages of fish in their cargoes for the
local dealers.

NO DEMAND FOR STEAMERS.
Boats Sold Here at Public Auction
Bring Small Prices.

Steamboats, are evidently not in de-
mand in this city. il is pointed out iuds-
ing from the prices they bring when put
up at public auction About a month
ago, when the five steamers belonging to
the old Washington and Potomac Steam
boat Company We're sold to close up the
receivershfp, they were bought for ST. 800
a figure that would not have built the
smallest boat in the fleet. Monday last the
big sidewheel steamer Jane Moseley was
sold at auction to satisfy a claim Bal
timore shipyard man held against it. and
the boat was bid in for $3.50 by E. J.
Codd q Co. of Baltimore. 1t is estimated
that the steamer is worth over twice that
amount for junk.
The Moseley was built in 1873 at Brook
lyn, n. Y, and for a number of years ran
on a route between this city and Nor
folk. 1t was looked upon as one of the
best boats in the bay service, and dur
ing the course of its career on the Norfolk
route it weathered many severe storms
For the past ten years the steamer has
been employed in the colored excursion
business on the Potomac river out of this
city. What use the new owners will make
of the boat is not known.

in court last October and testified that

matters as occurring at Merry Mills of

He also testified that whenever he went
to the knickerbocker Club the members
of the club annoyed him by ill-man-

1885, had got divorce from him in South
Dakota on the ground of incompatibility
of temperament. The next year Miss
Rives married Prince Troubetskoy
In 1897 Chaloner was alleged to be men,
tally incompetent by his relatives, and
was declared insane by the courts and
sent to Bloomngdale Asylum. in New

TUMOR CUT FROM BRAIN.
Delicate Operation Performed {

WAS performed AT the Georgetown Uni
versity Hospital Monday by DR. George
FULLY Vaughan on Russell Dulin. the
elcven-y ear-old son of j. X. Dulin Of aJS6
;1th street northwest.
The boy had been paralyzed on the
left side as the result OF tumor on the
right side of the brain. He was in dan
ger Of becoming a total cripple from the
pressure. and IL was decided To operate
as the only chance of saving the use of
his limbs and eventually his life.
The skull was opened over the spot that
controls the muscles affected and the
tumor was removed and the wound steril-
lied. The results of the operation are
already becoming apparent. The feeling
has returned To the paralyZed limbs and
they can be moved somewhat. II will ne
some time before the wound entirely heals
and the brain resumes its normal func-
tons, but the indications now are for
recovery.
