. The Fish Lutth. ,
There have lieen sotne geed meti lately
put en the flsh coramlswlen by the gov gev gov
erner, mill we huve n fnlr hepe Unit this
body will nt length preve itaelf te he of
service te the stnte, which it has net us
yet been, se far as woare ablotetico.
The purpese In creating the commission
was te Increase the supply of feed fishes
in our rivers, and that purpese certainly
has net been accomplished. Woliave
fower fish in our rivers new than ever
before. The run of shad, our finest fowl
fish, is yearly becoming less. In the Sua
(luohannathe black basa hai appeared
and the shad has disappeared. The bass
is of little val ue as a feed fish, the pro
duct being Incensiderable ; and its
chlef benefit being te the few patient nn
Klers who delight te sit allday long en
the waler in beats and en rocks, mid
feel themselves rowarded with an ecc.i
aienal nibble and a few pounds of fish.
The bass, for which we have the
fish commission te thauk, may net
be the cause of the small runa of
shad, though meat peeple think that
they have hnd a great deal te de
with it In destroying the young shad
seeking their way seaward. But If the
basa are net te be blamed for the lament lament
nble failure in the shad supply, the flsh
baskets certainly nre. The law forbids
these, and has forbid them for years ;
and yet there nre mere of them placed In
the Siistiuehantm than ever. Every
autumn they nre found full of dead
young shad, which are thrown out of
thorn by millions daily. There la but ene
opinion aa te the public lesa suffered by
the placing of theso baskets in the river
in the lavish and Indiscriminate way In
which they are planted. In some places
they extend in a Rorlea nil the way across
the river se aa te cffectuallybleck the pas
Bige of the fish , and the slats are placed
se close together, In order te retain notue
species of the eel and ether flsh, that
the young shad are also retained ; nnd
even though the slats were wide enough
te let them through, It la probable that
they would be bruised te death In the
passage, se delicate nre they.
The llah commissioners certain y
should see te it that the law forbidding
the fish baskets is obeyed. They knew
very well that ik la net. They knew
that the proposed visits of the elllcers of
the law are communicated te the owners
of the baskets, befere they take place,
and that when they pass down the river
the basketa are dropped before them, te
be raised again when their backs are
turned. They arc se built that this cm
be readily done.
The defense urged for these fish trap
is that the Pennsylvania law can have
no effect In keeping up the shad supply
in the Susquehanna, se long aa Maryland
permits the river te be obstructed with
traps below the state line. Doubtless
there is something in this argument, but
yet It docs net excuse the violation of
Pennsylvania's law by Pennsylvania's
llahermen. It may be a reason against
the law, but certaluly none against Its
execution. The flsh commission should
see te It that the law la observed, and at
the same time go te the state of Mary
laud with an appeal for Its help in the
effort te preserve the shad supply. The
ether rivers of the state need the Intelli
gent and active care of the flsh cemniis
slenaaweil as the Susquehanna. In all
of them the fish are decreasing. It la
just reported that they are found In great
quantities floating deaJ ou the surface
of the Youghiegheny, and the cause aa
Hlgued la the pumping Inte the river of
the sulphureus water of the mines.
Te the new members of the ceminls-
uiuii we hopefully leek for an Improve,
meut in its usefulness. We knew that
if the commission is animated by the
spirit and counsel of Augustus Duncan
and Andrew M. Spnngler the icsult te
our fish supply will be apparent.

The New Yerk TruWc nnd ethers of
that class of newspapers are harping and
hullaballoeiug en the " protection of
citizens" us the great Issuoef the cumins:
presidential campaign ; and that rip
rearing organ declares that there 1ms
never " been an issue, In any political
campaign, which appealed se clearly and
strongly te ull American citizens."
"What are they talking about? AVhe's
hurt V Who needs protection V Who's
Buffering from lack of it V Where?
"When? Why?
The American people are getting
uleng. There's fifty or sixty millions of
them The nation is net a baby, and the
country doea net stand bareheaded In
the presence of any of Its esteemed con cen
temparles, except as a matter of courtesy
te sonlerlty or of pity for senility. The
American citizen Is net nsklng the He
publican or any ether party te protect
him. Jehn Chinaman keeps his cue ;
the Southern negre is getting fat and
Biucy; the Immigrant has a better
clmttce te rule thlsceuntry than his own.
AVhe's hurt V iVIie'b afraid ?
The truth Is this cry Is all bluster. It
is a cheap Invention of the demagogue ;
nman of straw Bet up te be knocked
down ; a false issuote attract the crowd
and direct attention from the real issue;
it Is the ruse of the mountebank, te call
people Inte the streets while his partner
robs thelr unprotected houses.
And if there was a sincere cry for
help, and if anybody needed protection,
what sort of a man would lllalnobe te
furnish it V Like all braggarts; he Is a
coward. Like all bullies he Is a craven.
Mulligan, Blmklng the tell-tale letters at
him, sent him te his knees. Thotrue
American citizen has no use for such a
strutting knight of fuss and foathers.
The Jackdaw and the parrot niake mero

In its preaent condition the track of
the MJIIeiBviHe atreet railway en North
Queen street is a public nuisance, in

any rate it is the duty of the city

The he ivy rains of Wednesday uight
euiKt'd quite an inundation iu thn town of
Yerk. At early dawn the t'odeius vtnn
bank full A rauim: torrent of angry
waters pas.ed down the channel which
cveiy momeiit beet me meto frightful in
appearance. Debris of every kind was
carried nleng uen the bonem of the
strenm. At 0 o'clock the water ran ever
the iron bridge nt Market street, ami a
quarter of 7 the bridge foil with a crash.
Shortly after aril the Princess, King and
Penu street bridges followed In rapid
succession, rushing down nud catch
ing in the whirlpool where the
Market street bridge was hweiiI away,
striking the balcony of Henry Hauler's
residence aud breaking it into kindling
weed and doing ether damage te his
houpe.
Next the Philadelphia street nud the
Pennsylvania railroad bridges followed,
sweeping down up in the lleerge street
bridge and breaking it up like an egg nhell
The stream was filled with bridge timlMrn,
heuttcs, piles of lumber, barns, haystacks,
reefs of buiMiugit, heueoeps, and debris
of nil kinds, causing the water torise se
rapidly ns te overllew Water street. The
tloed backed up rut far as Dr. Jacob Ilajs'
heuse ou Market Mrcet nnd up te u
similar tli.itarce ou the ether street lead
ing te the creek.
Ou equally low ground, en the west side,
the evmllivv was still gieater, ami the
whole liiwvr iHirtieu was complete' in
uudated. Pa-mhes occupying houses along
the stream were m the greatest peril.
Rescuing parties were at ouce formed, aud
with bviati', wagons nud every species of
life-saving implement, they boldly set te
work nt the peril of their lives te rescue
these in danger. Business was entirely
suspended. A futile attempts were made
te launch the beats against the maddening
current it was deemed advisable te leave
people iu the submergetl houses, deeming
them in mero safety thau te imperil their
lives m fiail crafts
The greateH lloed with which the town
was ev.ir befere visited was iu 1817. Ag.nu
in 13? thoie was a disastrous lloed, but
tbe old citizens who witnessed these
former catastrephies say the lljel of
Thursday eclipses them all. The water
has risen te n greater height and mere
destructieu has already beeu reported than
occurred ever before. The great iIje.1 of
1S17 was occasioned by the breaking el the
for-;e dam, which covers acres et ground
aud holds an immcue quantity of water.
All the bridges ou the Laudever June
tien branch of the Coderus are gene ex
cept the county bridge nt Brillhart's.
Hayde's bridge, just below Ebert's dam, is
also gotie. Great damage was done nt the
Coderui paper mill. All the shedding and
movable preperty, fences, etc , around the
mill have becti swept away. The ilers of
the mill are covered with water and mud,
itijuiiug the mae'nnery aud ruiutug stock
aud paper.
The waters r.Mi se rapidly that many
families who lie ou the Coderus were
unable te cscajxi. Among these were Mr.
and Mis. Goe. Berkheimcr, residiug at 100
North Wnter street. When their premises
were flooded Mr. Frauk Center went te
their rescue en hore bak and took charge
of Mrs. Bcrkueimcr. A short distance the
horse stumbled ami threw both oil. Mr.
Beikheiraer plunged into the water, mie
cevded in catchiug held of Ins w lie, aud
held ou te her until leth were suuck by
Ibatiug timber and ether dtbris. Mrs
Berkhcirner disappeared under the water,
but fortunately rese agaiu when her hus
band told her te cling te something, fche
took fresh courage nud struggled towards
a tree, aud catching a limb succcecded iu
climbing it. Mr. Berkhoimer caught "U
another tree. Beth were painful. y in
jured. Captain Jehn Albright, tobacconist, ami
Frauk Hubley secured a beat aud crossed
the swollen Corderus at a point abeva thf
Kinj; street bridge, ami passed ever te the
west side. There they get upeu the reef
of a house ou Newburry street, cut u hole
iu the reef ami rescued a worn m aud her
infant. The weruau haj bjeu cenliued
but recently. After performing this act
the b'une men rescued a number of ethor
persons from similar perilous situations

Diebl's family, live iu number, wereiua
perilous situatiiui. Twe of thu committee,
tJhester Themas and Ed Miller, tinally
succeeded in getting a beat, aud, through
the voluntary services of William Eugle.s,
rescued the family by the use of a larie
coil of rope thrown te the second story
wiudew, by which they reached the beat
anil safely lauded.
The second deer of Billmeycr, Small A.
Ce.'s car shops, ou North Duke street,
was thrown open and provided with cots
and bedding nud nil necessary hospital ap
pliauces for the beutdit of the homeless
sufferers. The peer and needy, rendered
se by the lloed, will net be allowed 13 suf.
ler by the generous people of Yerk. It is
impesjibla te estimate tueloesef property,
but it will aggregate hundreds of thous
ands of dollars. The luss te the county is
at least 475,000.
A tenu meeting was called te devise
means for the relief of the sufferers, and
committees wero appointed te collect ami
distribute feed aud olethiug. Chlof Bur
Kess Small issued the following proclama
tion te the citizens of Yerk :
"The necij of immediate relief for the
sufferers from the llexl is urgent. Mauy
persons are houseless, homeless, without
feed anil clothing. In obedience te n
resolution passed at a meeting of eiti.nua
held iu thn court heuse, I call upon the
peeple of Yerk te contribute at ouce such
money, clothing aud feed as they can
spare, te relieve the preseiit needs of tnose
in want, nnd te deliver at ence their
contributions te n cemmittee in the court
heuse, who will be in waiting te recoive
them."
There was n liberal and quick respense
te the call for aid, ami the wautH el the
Millereis wero well supplied. All the rail
road trains nre running en regular time

"I spent yesterday in Washington, Pa ,

wlrch seems te be there se that visitors
can gain admittance without treuble ur

looking very much like ene of our county

reception room and ene for the furnace.
It cost about 41,500."
The whele nrraugmcat for cremating is

The retorts is the same shape, euly larger ;
it requires about 31 hours te get it up te

the celli n, wrapped in a cbtb, saturattd
with a solution of alum, and placet! uprn
an iron crib se that it can be ensl'y slid
ine the retort. During the cremation
thnie is no odor nor smoke, as the furnace
consumes all vaporable matter. Te com
ptote'tbo operation takes about two hours.
A very small portion of the nniuna is
ashes, but the mass is in the form of cab
cincd bones, very white, deprived entirely
or all animal matter at.d weighs from 4 te
