SEA FISH GET DATES MIXED.
And Now 1t Is Singing NeitIes That
Are Found 10 January Together
With Soft Crabs.

A day or two ago when the Janu-
ary weather was as balmy az that of
the Fourth of July (almost) q soft
crab was exhibittd at this Office by
a boy from Eastport, VINO had caught
it while wading around Horn Point.
Today a we'll known young man in
town, one interested in athletics, and
who weekly contributes some article
on physical culture to The Capital,
says he was out canoeing one after
noon, day or two ago, AMI they saw
stinging nettIes on the shores of Spa
creek, above Boucher's Gro ye. They
endeavored to bring some Of the net
tes home, but they disintegrated when
touched and it was impossible to
gather enough Of the parts together
to show as an object lesson that the
soft crabs in January are not the only
sea fish out of season but there are
also stinging nettles as well. that
have their dates mixed and because of
the recent summery weather ia jan
uary, think it is July.
Nettles are prevalent in these
waters the last of July or August, but
one rarely sees nettle in January.
However, the veracity Of the gentle
man and lady can be vouched for even
if the nettles We're not brought to The
Capital Office; as the soft crab was.

MIDDIES HAVE TEAM GAME.
Unable TO Arrange Match, Basketball
Contest First and Second 0uints
Have Practice Engagement.

There was no regular match game
of basketball at the Naval Academy.
as the negotiations opened by the
management of athletics at the Acad-
emy to secure a contest with the FIVE
of Johns Hopkins Independents, fell
through.
Today was an open date on the
middies' schedule from the start of
the season and all overtures made to
land a game to fill the date failed.
However, lovers of the game were
given che opportunity of witnessing
a practice match between the first
and second te ans of midshipmen
Both teams are strong and, of course,
thoroughly acquainted with each
others style of play, some lively
playing was anticipated.
Nor is there any other local sport
ing contest on the calendar for today
with the exception of the inter-com-
pany contests between the companies
of the brigade of midshipmen, ia
wrestling, swimming and gymnastics.
These will be held daily from now
on, Saturday ana Sunday excepted,
to dstermine the entries for the final
events which will take place on Jam

SUES BOARD OF APPEALS
United Railways Asks Dismissal Of
Appeal in Matter Of Assessment
of Its Stock.

Judge Brashears, in the Circuit
Court, has fixed January 81 for argu-
ment in the injunction proceedings
instituted by the United Railways and
Electric Company, of Baltimore,
against the State Board of Appeals,
which consists of Comptroller Hsr-
rington and Treasurer Vandiver
The petition asks that the board be
compelled to dismiss the appeal Of
the Mayor and City Council of Balti-
more against the assessment of stock
Of the Railways Company. 1t is al
legged that stock was assessed at
s3l.19 gross by the Tax Commission
ers and that this amounted to S6.25
a share after deduction Of the real
estate.
1t is set forth that the tax has been
paid here shareholders reside in some
of the counties, but that it was re-
fused by the Mayor and Council and
an appeal entered under Chapter 39s
of the Acts of 1900. The petitioners
contend that this act is invalid fol
several reasons.

Wireless Message Tells Of Loss o.

wireless message received at
the Naval Academy station this az
ternoon from Captain Carmine. Of
the Revenue Cutter Apache, coufirm-
ed the report that the steamer
Julia Luckenback, bound from Tampa
for Baltimore, was sunk in collision
with another steamer off 1angier
Point Light House far down the bay
last night. The message gave no
details, and whether the accident was
attended by loss of life is not known
The message did not give the name
OF the other steamer that rammed d
the Luekenback but STAGED that the
two were in collision, that the Luck
enback went to the bottom, and that
the other vessel was heached three
miIes from the point of the collision.
1t is believed that the Luckenback
settled soon after the collision, and
that while the other vessel was badly
damaged, her captain managed to
beach her and save her from a total
loss.
1t is said the crews suffered fear
fully from the bitter cold of last night
The Julia Luckenback left Tampa
for Baltimore on December 20, and
was due in the Monumental City to-
day
Though no serious damages have
been reported. all Annapolis is still
talking of the terrific wind storm
that swept the city for several hours
yesterday, and for time assumed the
proportions of baby cyclone.
The storm was general all along
the Atlantic seaboard, and extended
inland to many other towns. Much
property damage was done at Nor
folk, Va, and other cities along the
coast, and shipping interests also
suffered heavily.
As told in last nights Capital.
the chief damage suffered in this city
was that by the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone Company, whose
trunk lines to both Baltimore and
Washington were put out of commits
SION for several hours. 1t resulted
in much loss to the company and in
convenience to the public, as well.
The trouble was rectified yesterday
afternoon, however, and today ths
telephone service is being operated
full tilt.
The trouble with the trolley wires
of the Washington, Baltimore aud
Annapolis Electric Line resulted from
the falling of huge limb from a
tree in the yard of the Chase Home,
across King George street, was re-
paired in jig time, so that persons
using that line for travel suffered
little diseomforts. Although schoon-
ers and other vessels in the harbor
dragged anchors considerably, 40 ser
ious damage to local shipping has
been reported, except for the delay ex-
perienced by ste amers.
The wind in some sections along
the coast is reported to have reached
velocity of ninety miles an hour.
Three storms prevailed during the
twenty-four hours ended last mid
night A heavy wind accompanied
the rain of late, Thursday night; then
the fierce Southwestern of yesterday
morning, and this shifted to a heavy
northwest gale at sundown.

office has convinced Postmaster Ran.
dal that the public have taken ready
hold and that the system will be an
enormous one in time, so large, in
fact, that it may dwarf the legitimate
postal business.
January l being a public holiday,
true test Of the system could not
be made, as the postofice was open
but three hours but the following day
the number of parcels received for
outgoing dispatch jumped to fifty-nine
and the rate is still on the increase.
One very satisfactory result il that
of all the parcels dispatched. but
three errors have been located, and
two Of these were readily corrected.
fhe postmaster believes that this
very good showing has resulted from
the general information The Capital
has given the public as to the opera
tion Of the system, and its require :
menCs, and that no such trouble will
be experienced at this Office as re-
ports from Baltimore Indicate, exist
there, where $500 packages of va
rious sizes are being held because of
failure of shippers to obst rye the pro-
visions Of the new law,
There have been no pet monkeys,
dogs or other live stock sent from. or
received at, the local postoffice thus
far, but the several shipments that
have been made contained articles of
various descriptions. For instance,
among the parcels shipped today
We're a number of email market baJ-
kets, one placed inside the other.
They were destined for one Of the
Baltimore markets and apparently
had contained market produce for
several Annapolis families. or were
being sent thither to be filled, and
the parcels post was de emed the quick
est well as the cheapest means Of

NEAR COAL FAMINE
PREVAILS IN CITY
Dealers Have Only Scant Supply
And Turn Down Many Orders.
STATE CALLS FOR HELP.
Power House Bins Low and Officials
Ask Aid Of Theatre Manages
Who Has Carload.

/ Annapolis would be face 70 face with
pretty hard problem il "a cold wave
should set in now and prevail for sew
eral sdays, because of the scarcity Of
coal among the local dealers.
None Of the local dealers has any
| quantity Of coal TO speak Of, and to-
day they We're compelled TO turn down
orders right and left.
The present winter has been such
an extremely mild one thus far that
residents Of the town, or at least
those who generally buy their coal in
small lots, have been going along
unmindful of the rainy day, ;" so to
speak
AS a result the cold spell that set
in last night caught many of the res
idents entirely unprovided for. Some
have scarcely a shoveliul in their
bins; others have none Of all And
because of the scant supply, dealers
were compelled to turn down many
of their regular customers today, or
to dismiss their requests with the
promise that they might let them have
some next week
The firm of Parlett and Parlett
has no coal at all, but expects a
consignment next week The Henry
B. Myers Company has cnly a limit
ed amount of the No. variety, and
they were so rushed with orders
received yesterday, that they would
make no promises today. The same
was the case with Mr.. Joseph w.
Trautwein, whose supply is practi-
cally exhausted. Mr.. Trautwein
has, however, a scow load Of coal
en- route to Annapolis. 1t was due
here yesterday, but the tug that has
it in tow was stormbound somewhere
up the bay yesterday.
R0bb Combs g. Company received a
car load last Monday. This is getting
pretty low, and they are only allow
ing customers to have small lots, that
is, enough to tide them over until
conditions better.
1t also developed today that the
States supply of the soft coal burned
at the local powerhouse, which fur
nishes heat for all the State build
ings, is at low ebb, and there is no
immediate prospect of receiving its
consignment that is on the road.
Upon learning that Manager Irons,
of the Colonial Theatre, has just re-
ceived a car load of the soft coal for
use at the theatre, the State officials
Immediately got in touch with Man
ager Irons, and requested the loan of
a sufficient amount to carry them
through the emergency. Manager
Irons promptly consented.

Jacobs will 90 on the gallows
through which he will be sent to his
death as promptly as possible. On
Monday carpenters will begin the
work Of erecting the gallows as well
as the temporary fence about the
Jail yard. This will require but a
couple of days, and the usual tests Of
the trap will be made. Only a limited
number Of persons will be permitted
to witness the execution. These will
include the Sheriff, his regular dep
uties and others to be employed for
the day, doctors and other officials.
The crime for which Jacobs will
give bis life was committed at Rock
Greek in the Third district, in Sep
tember last. John Brooks, another
colored man. was his victim. The
killing of Brooks was the result of
an old feud Jacobs and Brooks had
been enemies of long standing. One
afternoon, while Jacobs was re turn
ing from a cunning "trip, be passed
the house of Brooks.
Seeing the latter, he approached
him ana almost without warning, he
shot him with his shot gun. The
first load of shot apparently did not
produce death Immediately, and Jacobs
fred again into Brooks prostrate
body.
The last execution here was early
in August. when Andrew Taylor. col
ored. was hanged for the killing of
his parmarour.
