but it will
be of local interest to give a brief
account of the result ot the shad
hatchery at Fort Wa.shington. A
reporter (if the Press called on
Superintendent Worth, who has
charge ot' the Potomac, hatchery,
and requested him to give some in
formation in regain F the work
done t here.
"This station." replied Mr.
Worth, '-was established in
Withou' going into a detailed
method of the taking of spawn, I
will say that in 1SS( wo hatched
,".o. OHO, (MO of fry: in 1SS7, 00,000,
onO: in lssS, so. 000,000, and this
year we hope to hatch 100,000.000.
All this is without increase of
force, and is the result of experi
ence and better regulation. Our
collecting berth extends from Fort
l'oote to Indian Head, a distance
of about sixteen miles. We get
eggs from six fishing shorefl and
from forty or fifty gill net fishermen."
When does the date of tak
eggs begin T"
"The average date for collecting
the first spawn is about the loth of
April: the largest production is
about May l,and from that date
up to May L.'."i we receive from two
to five million eggs per diem. We
send our spawn takers to the
several fishing landings to collect
eggs, but the gill fishermen soon
learn how to do the work, and they
bring into the station a large
amount of nice eggs, and the ex
penses of the station is about
i,()00 per annum."
"Where are theeggs hatched !"
"Here, in this building (Armory
building:. Theeggs are collected
from the fishermen and kept at the
station in agitated water, after
being impregnated with the milt of
the male, uu t ii t he li ne or forma-
' of tion of the lish can be seen with the
naked eye. The impregnated eggs
are brought up nere uau ny tne
steamer Corcoran, and the hatch
ing process is completed in those
glAss-lined tanks you will see in
the other room. When the fry are
large enough they are placed in the
shipping cans and are ready for
distribution."
"What is the percentage of loss
, u hatching the eggs V '
Oh, there is an immense gain
over the natural process of hatch
ing when it is considered to what
dangers from predatory fishes, and
so on, the spawn ia subjected when
lie.spositcd in a natural method.
We estimate that of the eggs we
receive t he percentage of loss is at
the lowest -5 per cent.: that is to
say, for every 100 eggs we receive
we deposit seventy-live shad fry.
I f the eggs deposited by the female
shad in a natural way were to
hatch out a similar percentage the
streams would soon tie blocked up
w;:h the masses of the fish. Now
you can see what we have done and
what we may expect in the future.
Six or eight years ago, at the Fort
Washington station, there were
collected only o,000,0()0 or 10,000,
000 eggs annually. We collected
so, ioo,O0O last year, aud we ex
pect to collect in a year or two
from 100,0no,noo to 12.., 000,000 per
aunum. Recollect, too. that this
increase, has been accomplished
with no increase of the working
loree.' '
Where are the most of the fi y
deposited T"
Well, we send some away, but
the great majority of the fry from
this hatchery are deposited annually
in the tributaries of Chesapeake
Pay, and the result has been seen
in the gradual aud steady increase
of the run of t-had for the past ten
years.''
"Ad old i iver fishei mau the other
day told me that while the iu
creased nin of shad in recent years
might, in some degree, be due to
the effort of the lish com m ission,
yet he thought the run of lish was
in cycles. The shad run had in
creased, it was true, but so did the
herring run, and the commission
had planted no herring fry in tho
river. How is that f" said the le
porter. "1 might answer that," said Mr.
Worth, "like the Yankee, by asking
another question, 'Why is it that
the streams of the Pacific coast are

that he killed a black snake, last Satur
day, that measured 9 feet in length and
7 inches in circumference. The coun

went yesterday to tne Buckhorn section
for the purpose of investigat ng the i
cause of Mr. Richard Weothers' death,
which occurred very suddenly last
month. Some persons suspect that he
was poisoned. Deputy Collector
Spence Taylor made quite an extensive '
revenue raid a few days ago. In
Hickory Mountain tawnship he cap
tured and destroyed two illicit stills.
and next day he cut up two more on '
Deep river, in Gulf township. Thence
he proceeded to Montgomery connty.
where he captured and cut up another,
making five stills destroyed in three
j days. After destroying the one in
j Montgomery county he spent the night
at a house about five miles distant and ,
next morning his buggy was missing
, He tracked it about two miles and there
found it cut all to pieces, having been
