NEW RULE ON FISH WHARvEs.
Bathing and LoaAng Forbidden by
Order of the Authorities.

Battling and fishing on the oyster
wharves. which are now in charge OF the
District, will not be allowed in the future,
according to big signs which have been
posted. The. signs read: Bathing and
Loa4ing on This Wharf Is Prohibited.
N. c. Haskell. Superintendent and Mar
ket Master Moves and his assistant, Capt.
Addie Posey, have instructions to see that
the regulation is observed and TO cause
the arrest Of all who violate it.
Bathing has not been common from the
oyster or fish Wharves in past year, but
loafing has been, it is said, much to the
annoyance of those who had occasion
to visit the wharf on business. Since the
District took charge the loafers have
been discouraged and as a consequence
but few of the old crowd that spent all
their time there are to be seen now. To
prevent persons from going on the wharf
all the entrances and exits, with the ex-
ceptfon of that at the foot of nth street
southwest. have been fenced or and a
fence has been built between the oyster
and fish wharves. 1t is said to be the
purpose Of Col Haskell shortly to formu-
late set Of rules for. the government Of
the Wharves. and these rules will limit
business on them to certain hours in the
day and will not allow it for twenty four
hours day, as has been the custom in
the past

BIG SHIPMENT OF C0CoANUTs.
More Than 450, GOO Arrive at Balti-
more From West Indies.

Laden with more than $4,000 cocoa
nuts from the West Indies. the schooner
Venus has arrived at Baltimre. The
Venus brings the first cargo of the nuts
that has reached Baltimore so far this
season. and it Is understood that as soon
as she unloads she VIII return for an
other load of them. Like the big car
goes of bananas that are brought to
Baltimore. considerable quantity of the
West Indian cocoanuts will be brought
to this city to meet the local demand.
Washington owners in the schooner
William L. Wilson will be interested
in report made by Capt. Luis, master
of the Venus. regarding the condition
Of the vessel which was lost on the
Florida Keys several months ago. Capt
Luis says:
While we were some distance from
the Wilson we could see the four masts
with topmasts and the jibboom appar-
emily In good order.
1.-The vessel was standing in an up
right position. but the hull was sub
merged. 1t seems a shame that fine
vessel like the Wilson should be left in
that place However. it may be that
the vessels bottom is gone and it is
not worth saving.
