There has been a good supply of fish of the vart- ous kinds taken from the Potomac the past week, The fishermen and the dealers say the warm Weather does not affect the quantity of fish caught, and that they seem to be more plentiful, especially in the lower river. The hotels of this city require a great many fresh fish this year, as Washington has been favored with throngs of people, owing to the sitting of Congress so late. This 1s the reason that the prices keep so high; besides, the demand for them at the hotels and different summer resorts through the country are the same,with a yearly Increase. One other cause for high prices is the continued high prices asked for the best fresh meats. The catches in the Poto- Mac the present s2ason have, fortunately, been unusually abundant. Fresh caught Spanish mack- erel 1s 0 cts. per pound; sheepshead, 20 cts.; rock fish in bunches Of 8 to 16, sell for 35 to 40 ets. each; rch, 40 to 50 cts.; spots, 35 to 40 cts.; tallors, large, 2 to 35 cts. each; and small tailors by the buhch at 25 cts.

Salmon sells for 59 to 75cts. per pound, according to quality; trout, 10 to 12 cts. a pound; crocus, 3) ets. per bunch; halibut, fresh from Boston, 20 cts. per pound; fresh codfish, 10 cts. per pound; haddock, 10 cts. ; ‘sea bass, 15 to 20 cts. per pound; turtles, 12 cts. per pound. alive; catfish, dressed, 10 cts.; bluetish, 10 to 12 cts. per pound. There are some fne woodcock coming in, but Very searce; price, $9 to $12 per dozen. Frogs are worth $1.50 per dozen pair. ‘The frog business ts pretty extensively carried on in this market, and Several experts at catching them have sometimes netted from $50 to $75 per month. One man has cleared as high as $100 per month, but this is not often done. HOW FROGS ARE CAPTURED. The manner of catching them Is to drift about at night ina skiff among the swamps which line the Potomac and Its creeks with a bull’s eye dark lantern. When the frogs begin thelr loud, gut- tural conversations with each other, the hunter edges up as near ag posstble to bis game and throws the tutensely reflected Nght from the buli’s eye directly upon the froz, which appears to have the effect of completely paralyzing him.

Frank K. Ward, the Alderney dairy man, will sail for Europe in afewdays. He proposes to make an examination of the dairies and city supply sys- tems of four of the principal European cities, with the view of giving his patrons here the benefit of any improvement suggested by the enterprise of foreign dairymen. A Star reporter called at the Alderney dairy establishment, on 3d street, yes- Sday, to ascertain the truth of the report of Mr. Ward's proposed trip. “Yes,” said Mr. Ward, “I expect to sail Sunday. I will be gone 42 days, and will visit Dublin, London, Paris and Berlin. It 1s not a pleasure excursion for me.” Mr. Ward paused a moment and then added, with a twinkle in his €ye, “Those fellows have been at it for ‘TWELVE OR FIFTEEN HUNDRED YEARS, And ought to know something about” the business by this time. Ihave gone all through the United States. Every summer I have made a trip looking up the dairy business, and now I am going to Europe, I am going to see all there's there in my line, and Iam going right into Her Royal nibs’ dairy.” While the reporter was picturing in his mind the consternation of the keeper of Queen Vic.’s dairy it Mr. Ward ventured to refer to his imperial mistress as “her royal nibs,” Mr. Ward led the way into his establishment, which has been h praised in a recently ‘published work by Mr. Sheldon, the great English authority on dairies and Gairy farming. The handsome tour story structure, occupied by the Alderney dairy, if it were not for the wagons constantly passing in and out of the wide portal, and the whirlin; windmill on top might be taken for a fine clul house or hotel butlding. As Mr, Ward led the Way through the ullaing he gave the reporter some account of the growtl of his business. The Alderney dalry was esta- Ushed by Mr. Ward tn 1876, at No, 629 E strect; bought an outfit and served as his own driver, book-keeper and can washer and superintendent of dairy. Ile speedily introduced improvements in the business, and his industry and enterprise were rewarded ‘by a liberal patronage, Now the dalry establishment represents an investment of $72,000, The milk comes from within a radius of 30 iniles about the etty. He employs in the estab- lishment 51 men, runs 16 wagons and handles 2,200 gallons of inilk aday. ‘The contract made With the farmers, gives Mr. Ward control of the feed and care of the cows and the regulation of the dairy. “It would be insanity for me to sell anything but the best and purest milk,” sald Mr. Ward, as he walked along; “I cannot handle all this milk pers Thave a large number of men in iny employ, and I would be at their mercy if any fraud was practiced. Ihave TOO MUCH AT STAKE, and could not afford todo that. No, sir, J man- age it so that I am sure of a certain margin on each wagon. Every wagon I add reduces the ex- pense—that 1s, tt costs less per wagon to run 16 wagons than to run one wagon. Now, I calculate on‘a certain margin, and I getit. It 1s the old prin- ¢iple of quick sales and small profits, and it 1s bound to win.” ‘The ground floor of Mr, Ward’s establishment is given up to an office and ‘to stables, which would Suit the tastes of the most fastidious horse-fancler. ‘On the next floor are cheese vats and churns of the most approved pattern, anda milk room, On the floor above are dormitories for the em- loyes and store rooms, and above this, kitchen and niag room, and a room for curing cheese. All the Appliances Are operated by steam. One of the features of the establishment which attracts the visitor’s attention before he has inspected one floor is the wonderful economy and ingenuity dis- played in saving labor. ‘There appears to be no waste anywhere. The same economy 1s observa~ bie In the conduct of the business itself, A sur— plus of some 600 gallons is calculated for every day. ‘This 1s converted into butter and cheese. Mr. Ward makes a spectalty of “city delivery,” and has introduced great flinprovements in mii’: wagons. One of the wagons which he uses dally took the first prize at the London Dairy Exposition three years ago. Mr. Ward purchased at that ex- position, and has also in use, the vehicle which took the’ second prize, which Was a cart, of most substantial manufacture, so" balanced ‘upon an elastic spring as to make’ the motion very steady and pleasant. Se ‘The New Quarters of the Money Order Division. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING—HOW IT CAME TO BE ERECTED—IT WILL BE READY FOR OCCUPANCY BY OcToBER 187. Once of the provisions of the Post Office appro- Priation Dill for the year 18912 authorized the Postmaster General to rent sultable quarters for the money order divisions of the Post Office de- partment and the Sfxth Auditor's office, respect- ively, at an annual rental of $5,000. Accommoda- Uon for one hundred and fifty clerks was required, needing an estimated net superficial spageof 14,000 feet. A commission was appointed by the prede- cessor of the present Postmaster General to ascer- tain whether suitable accommodations could be obtained in the nefghborhood of the Post Office building, but owing to the smallness of the appro- priation they falled to obtain such accommoda- h after Postmaster General Howe came Into office he obtained from Congress for this purpose an extra allowance of $3,000, making $8,000 in all. This legislation was a ectal defictency bill to enable the al to relleve the overcrowded condition of the department building before hot weather set In, On the passage of the appropria— tien a number of proposals to rent and build buildings for the use of the department were made, including offers of the May building, the Second National bank butlding, and the Le Droit building. In every case either the buliding was too small or the amount asked was greater U the appropriation made by ¢ Finally Mr. R. A. Hooe came forward with an offer to build a. suitable building on the southeast corner of square 406, just west of the Post OMice department, building. "After some consileration the Postmas- ter General accepted als offer, and a contract Was entered into containing substantially the follo ing povisions: Mr. Hooe was to build a substan- tal building on the sata property to CONTAIN AT LEAST 14,000 FEET OF SPACE for clerks, exciusive of halls, walls, stair-cases, cellars, ete., to be completed Octaber Ist, 1882; to contain an elevator and an improved steam heat- ing apparatus, and to be connected with the de- partment building by a bridge from the second story. Mr. Hooe stipulated that the building should not cost more than $60,000, which stip ula- tion the Postmaster General’ accepted, with the proviso that the government might purchase the | es at any time within two months after the exinning of the next session of Congress for $85,000. ‘The Postmoster General agreed to take a five years’ lease of this building when completed, at a yearly rental of $8,000, the amount allowed by. Congress for the purpose. As temporary acco modations for the two divisions the butldings known as the Lyon House and the Hooe Bui) ting were taken. At the suggestion of Mr. Hooe, Mr. John L. Smithmeyer was agreed upon as the archi- tect to carry on the work. AS A RESULT OF THIS CONTRACT ‘the present building corner of 8th and E stxeets was erected. The building 1s in dimensions 50 by 8734 fet, amd 100 feet from the ground to the top of the roof, and 1s built in the Gothic style of architecture. It is held that it is practically flre proof. The floors are double and filled in be tween with three inches of cement. The statr- Ways are of iron, and the building 1s furnished with an fron fire-escape. The roof4s covered with tvo thicknesses of slate, thus preciudlng the pos- sibility of igniting from without. The building affords 17,278 feet of avatlable space for clerks, exclusive of halls, walls, stairways, cellars, etc., being 3,273 feet more than called for in the con- tract. ‘The building will contain an Otts elevator, speaking tubes, electric bells, fire-plugs on each floor, «nd pneumatic clocks. There will also be a water-tank in the attic of 3,000 gallons capaci together with a force-pump for filling the sam TMs was necessitated by the inadequate supp! of water afforded by the city, and will be a great improvement over anything that could have been obtained in any other building. The building is in so forward a state of construction as to warrant the belief that it will be quite ready for occupa- ton on or before the 1st of October next, the pe- riod mentioned in the contract. The agyregate amount of the contracts for building, elevator, heating apparatus and connect- ing bildge, together with the fees of the architect for plans ‘and superintendence, reaches the sum Of $59,400, leaving a trifle over $500 for Incidental expenses and extras, mgr The Defence a Confession of Guilt.

The stilinessyhich promotes if it does not encourage sound slumber was rudely broken, in the vicinity of M and 12th streets northwest, about 1 o'clock this morning, by the sharp clatter of hoofs and the rumbling of carriage wheels, above which rose loud, clear and contimuous cries of “Police!” “Police!” intermingled with the angry exclama- tons of two or three persans, and the hurrying of footsteps on the sidewalk, This alarming uproar ‘Was continued dowa M to 10th, up 10th to N, up N to 11th, thence down‘11th to the place of beginning or thereabouts, and backto the corner of M and 10th,—the driver still screaming for “police” at the top of his voice every few steps of the way. At the point last named the running feotman came to a halt or was overtaken by the driver, and quite a crowd gathered, expecting doubtless to find that a brutal murder or extensive robbery had been com- mitted. ‘The cause of the whole uproar appeared to be, however, that a coup of persons who had been using the carriage jQmped from tt while ‘under way,and thus attempted to defraud the driver of his pay. Hence all this alarming outcry. Just why a hackman has a right to disturb all the resi- dents on five or six squares because he may lose a fare or two, we do not understand; but what is of more importance to the community Is the question where were the policemen—the supposed guard- fans of the public peace—all this time? For. all the use they were ut that time the whole of that part of the city might have been sacked, pilleged and carried away. For full half an hour the out- Tageous turmoll was kept up within Jess than three squares of the sixth district police station, and it was not until 2 o'clock that the disturbance ceased,—and whether it was by the intervention or appearance of a policeman then or not, we can- not tell. But, if not, it was foreno fault of the lungs of the infernal hackman,—who with his load and the crowd of loafers collected together ought todiave been locked up and fined for disturbing @ peace. ‘Now, will Lieutenant Greer, or whoever is in charge of that station, tell where his forre was all that Weary and noisy time, and what they were doing, that they only did not hear the terrible din? A pretty full explanation from somebody 1s in order. If the force elsewhere and at other times is as hard to rouse as his squad was last night there 4s very Ittle security for the people and property of Washington, and the whole force might as well be mustered out of service. OUTRAGED CiTIZENS, August 5, 1882, pa ee FINED FOR VIOLATING THE FUNERAL Laws.—Jacob Moore, an old colored man,was charged in the Police Court yesterday by Mr. Wim. A. Short, of the health office, with violating the law governing the vital Statistles of the District of Columbia by interring, the dead body of one Martha Fields, colored, in’ Moore’s burial grounds, without first obtalnin permit so to do from the health officer of the Dis- rict. Mr. Short testifled that on the 13th of last month a certificate of burial was tssued for the {n- terment of Martha Fields in Good Hope cemetery, and the certificate was returned by the under taker, showing that the interment was made ina burial ground in Hillsdale, owned by the defend- ant, and known as “Moore’s burial ground.” ‘The defendant suid he could not read or write, and ap- pilcation was made to him for permission to bury he child in his burial ground, and he granted it, and his name was signed to the permit by another person. Mr. Padgett called Judge Snell's atten- {on to the fact that this is the second time the de- fendant has been before the court on a similar cbarge. The court sald he could not excuse the prisoner on account of his ignorance, for this is a inatter of grave importance to the public, and If the defenaant can’t intelligently attend to his busi- ness he will have to employ some one who does understand it. The court imposed the lowest fine—$25 or 60 days im the workhouse, Moore was committed in default of the fine. Political Points. The democrats of the 4th Oho congressional district have re-nominated Hugh Buchanan. Col E. B. C. Cash and ex-Judge T. J, Mackey have announced themselves as independent can- idstes for Congress in the 5th South Carolina district. At Mount Sterling, I.,1,15 3ballots had been taken at noon yesterday for the nomination of a succes- sor to Gen. Singleton, and no cholce being reached, the convention took’a recess. ‘The last ballot ported was as follows: Singleton, 25; Wike, 20 Withers, 15, Mr. James @. Blaine,tn response to an Invitation from his Maine 1rlends to speak, writes that the distracting Interests in the Presidential campal; in 1880 prevented a fair expression of public seni ment against the Garcelon usurpation, and that the people will be free to condemn it this year. In national politics he makes the issues between rotection and free trade prominent, and, holds hat the intelligent labor of the country will sus- tain the republican policy of protection. Finally, he cites the remarkably prosperous condition of the country as strongly favorable to the repub- cans, Fara Duris Between Rrvats 1x Love.—Wm. Walsh and J. J.

Gentlemen :—I have until recently suffered with dyspepsia nearly ail my life and at times so bad that everything I ate disagreed with me, besides had great oppression and heaviness about the stomach.
