BLANk-PACkAeE MAN CAPTURED
WORKED GAME THAT KEPT
MANY OFFICIALS GUESSING.
Alleged Crook or Crank Is Under
Arrest in New Jersey.
Years Search Ends.

The blank package crook or crank has
been arrested in New Jersey. and his
incarceration is tickling the officials OF
the Treasury branches of the United
States and Adams express companies
The blank package man worked a
game that was never understood by
the treasurer of the United States and
the express officials All they have
known is that at intervals for the last
ten years they have received packages
States bonds. addressed to the treas
urer.
The express companies have promptly
delivered the packages. which, according
to the way bills. were said to contain
varying sums from So. 900 to SIS 1000.
When the packages We're opened they
were found to contain sheets of old
paper. Naturally this was mystifying.
AT first it created a commotion in the
express offices. There We're suspicious
that the first package had been tam
pered with, the bonds extracted and
blank paper put in their place.
Search was at once begun. All that
could be found was that a man giving
his name as George c. Thompson had
deposited the package, claimed that its
contents were valuable bonds, worth Sc
much money, and gone away. He had
not been seen again. Not long after a
similar package turned up from another
point, followed at intervals of months
The superstition has been that the man
has used the express receipts upon
which to borrow money. ALI that the
officials know is that the arrest Of .
man giving his name as George c.
Thompson was made at Laceyville, n. j.,
and that he is charged with fraud.

MANY HARBoR IMPROVEMENTS
Several New Piers Replacing Old
Structures on River Front.


WASHINGTON harbor has been considera-
bIy improved In the past year by the con-
-truction of the new pier of the light
house service at the foot OF o street
southwest. This pier took the place Of
the old pier Of the Inland and Seaboard
Coasting Company. which went out Of
existence nearly q quarter of a century
ago.
The -tumbled-down structure was
an eyesore and gave strangers travelling
on the river steamers poor idea Of the
Importance Of the Capital city. The new
pier Is a solid. substantial structure and
looks business like.
As important an Improvement and one
that Will add as much to the appearance
of the harbor Is the new pier the White
Oak Coal Company is having constructed
at the foot of 18th street, at the western
end Of the harbor. This pier takes the
place OF an old Ice storehouse and a di-
lapidated pier that was seen by passen-
gers entering the city by rail-
The new pier will be a solid. substantial
structure. The new bulkhead and crib
work for the pier are nearly completed
aud the filling in work will be started in
a few days.
The rebu, iding of the pier at the foot
OF 9th street for the District government
aud the improvements being made at the
wharf of the Potomac and Chesapeake
steamboat Company at the foot of Sth
street will also add considerably to the
business-like look of the local water
front.

MARYLAND Law HELPS CRABS
CATCHES LARGER THIS SEASON
THAN FOR YEARS
State Introduced the Soft Kind and
Now Ships to 0regon-$2, OOO,-
600 Business Annually.

The catch of hard crabs in the waters
Of the lower Potomac has been larger this
season than for many years past. The
steamers from river points are bringing
the crabs here in large quantities from
Rock point, Coltons and the wharves in
Nomini creek.
On the last trip Of the steamer Capital
City from the lower river She had aboard
over 80 barrels Of crabs. Other steamers
coming in from river points also had a
full supply of crustaceans for dealers
here.
AS consequence, the market has
dropped in price. Yesterday fine hard
crabs could be bought at prices ranging
from SOC to 81 per barrel
Soft crabs are more scarce. Demand
for them IS more active. But, in spite of
this, they are selling at from SOC to Coo
per dozen.
The Maryland law making November.
December. January. February. March and
April In each season q time when crabs
must be left undisturbed In Maryland wa
tiers has added greatly to the supply OF
crabs in the lower Potomac. Before the
passage Of the law. year or two ago.
scrapers were used from year end to year
end. and crabs were rapidly exterminated.
The closed season gives the crab chance
to increase and multiply in Maryland wa
tiers. In Virginia waters. where there Is
no closed season. they are disappearing.
While the largest catch of crabs at the
bay fisheries is made by scrapers dragging
along the bottom, the bulk Of shell fish
shipped from the Potomac are caught by
trot lines baited with sailed eel or her
ring.
Maryland was the first state to intro
duce soft crabs as an article Of food The
markets at first did not take kindly to
them, and during the first year or two of
the business a couple OF dozen each week
would overstock this market.
Now soft crabs are in demand every
where An army Of men are employed in
catching them along the Chesapeake and
its tributaries.
Soft crabs are now shipped from the
Chesapeake bay markets as far as Dem
yer. and soma have been sent to Portland,
Ore. It is difficult to make the crab reach
these distant markets in proper condition
for food.
There is invested in the Grabbing busi-
ness in Maryland alone over half mil
lion of dollars The value Of the total
catch of crabs each season is said to be
over 100000 The industry is one Of
the largest in southern waters, and Is
constantly growing.

The work of wrecking the old sidewheel
steamer T. v. Arrowsmith, In progress
at the wharf foot of 14th street south
west, Is progressing rapidly. In a short
time only the hull of the old excursion

ICE OFF; COAL ON.
Vessels From Maine Garry Away
Cargoes Of Fuel.

NdISOeS OIL uc1.
There are at present no coal carrying
vessels loading or waiting to load at the
Georgetown coal piers, for the first time
in several weeks.
This condition will not last long. Several
barges of the Consolidation Coal Company
fleet are to bring ice here. They will go
to Georgetown for cargoes Of coal as
soon as the ice is unloaded-
Number Is, lying at Alexandria dis
charging 1000 tons OF Ice. will be ready
to go under the coal chutes within the
next few days. She will be followed by
schooner barges Nos. 8, 8 and Il, which
are coming with ice.
Nos. and II will discharge their
cargoes of ice here. Other barges will
go to Alexandria to unload.
It is probable that the big four-masted
schooner William II. Yerkes. coming with
Ice from Maine. will also load coal at
Georgetown for New England port.
