It also re- quites that all of the cars which do not run rough to Boundary street shail run through Georgetown to the end of the company's line.

A BRIGHTER OUTLOOK FOR THE SEASON— SHORES THAT WILL BE FISHED. To the Eultor of Tae EVENING Stan: I noticed in last Saturday’s STAR a publica- tion as coming from Mr.Gwynn Harris, in- Spector of marine products, which places him in a false position. In the first place, there are other shores that will be fished besides Wind- mill point and the Gums this season, viz, Stoney point, fished by Mr. Wiillam Neitzey, with his large seine, 1,600 fathoms of ‘netting, and handled by steam power; also Ferry land- ing, with 1,000 fathoms of ‘netting, handled also by steam, and Chapman’s point, fished by Mr. Mitchell; the White House, fished by Mr. James Sinith, and the Tump landing, fished by Mir. Jumes Cunningham, Lagree with you that pound nets aud gill nets are fished by the thou- Sands, and have largely taken the place of haul seines, and to this inethod of fishing down the bay is attributed the cause of the scarcity of sbad and herring in the Potomac, as the fish are taken on their way and before they reach their spawning ground on tne Potomuae river. In regard to the roiled condition of the water, that is caused by the jale excessive rains, and not by the machines used in improving the harbor, as any one can readily see by taking a trip on one of the Alex- andria boats as far as that city. I think it would be rather a diminutive outiit for fishing that would cost from $5 to $25, when gill-ne- ting cost from $1.75 to $2.25 per pound, and it requires from 4U to 60 pounds of netting for an outfit, whilst pound nets require from 175 to 225 pounds of netting at a cost of 60 cents per pound, not including boats, rope, corks, &c., &¢. Now we com? to the number of shad and her- ting caught and brought to our maket to the ‘3d of April last season as compared to the nu! ber broug ut toour market to the same date this season, Lust season there came to this market: io the Su of April, 275,735 herring and 361 shad. ‘The present’ season to the 3d of April, 425,203 herring and 11,505 shad, showing an increase this season of”149,468 ‘herring and 44,144 shad. I would say in conclusion that the .curelty of both shad and herring in the Poto- ic int season was Owing to Lhe very cold weather in the latter part of March. When the Saad suould have been coming in our capes were driven off by the cold blustering weather and reached other rivers to the north of us. ‘The herring never came up the Potomac until iL got very late and warm.

RIGHTEEN SCHOOL TRUSTEES AND WO SCHOOL DISTRICTS, ‘The District committee of the House has not yet acted upon the school board bill, It is thought that the committee favor giving con- trol of school matters to the people and not the Commissioners, but they will probably change the bill now them, which was adopted by the citizens’ comimitice. Mr. Rowell, amem- ber ofthe subcommittee in charge of the bill, will probably draw up a substitute for it, ob- Uterating all division lines in the District, and making the board to consist of 18 instead of 24 members, as the bill, and mak- ing the superintendent—to be appointed by the Commissioners, and not by the board—an ex- er board. His idea is to have the members of the board inted for fixed TPnot subject. to removal during cept upon im- peachment; and to have terms of six members only expire at one time, To effect this latter, when the board is first appointed, the terms of six are toexpire in one year, six in two years, and the other six in three years. After that the terms of all will be for three years. It is pro- egg to give the citizens’ board all Power they ask for in the bill before the committee except that of ap- pointing the superintendent. Tne teachers, ‘icularly, are to be appointed by the board. ‘bis ee a to appoint teachers, Mr. Rowell considers, the most important to’ the citizens.

The Horrible Slaughter Depaty Sheri in East Bt. Leata, Six men and one woman were killed and two men and a child were woundea by the deputy sheriff in the employ of the Louisville and Nashville railroad in East St. Louis yesterday afternoon, These deputies were gathered into East St. Louis from the surrounding country and armed by the raUroad company with Win- chester rifles and revolvers. The presence of these heavily armed countrymen has been @ constant source of irritation to the people of East St. Louis, and it has been repeatedly pre- dicted that trouble would be caused by them, Shortly after two o'clock yesterday @ crowd, consisting of from 100 to 150 men, mostly strikers, were gathered at the east end of the bridge, near the Louisville and Nashville rail. road track. They were watching the ofa Louisville and Nashvili 4s It passed and repassed them j neer and crew that were attending to Switching. This continued for some time, the strikers sceming to become more aud more cited. Watching this scene were flve deputy sheriffs, two of whon revo rs. They were standing on the Louisville apd Nashvilie trestle, about twenty feet from Caho kia bridge. Tuey nervously watched the action 01 the crowd and flually rushed forward. ‘They were joined by about ten other deputies, and, losing entire control over themselves, fred promiscuously right and lett. Tue scone that Jollowed was appailing. The crowd broke and ran In ail directions, uttering maledictions: ‘as they retreated, Curses deep and loud min gled with the groans of the wounded and dyi nd the piercing ery ota woman was beatd above the din. Notwithstanding that the strikers were in fall retreat, the deputies pure sued them in the direction of the bridge, shoot. ing while in progress. At least 150 to S00shots were fired. Two men teil in their tracks on the bridge, while one man was seen to topple over into Cahokia creek. After the brief but bloody struggle on the narrow trestle bridge over the Cahokia, the depaty sheritfs, apparently terri fied at the deadly havoc they had committed, turned westward and retreated precipitately toward tue bridge. Armed with thelr Wine chesters, and still occasionally fring, they hure Fed toward the big Incline, and had elmost reached the east end of the bridge house whem they were overtaken by Muyor Joyce, Ofticers Doud and T.A. Canty. Mayor Joyce at once ordered the men to return to the Louisville and. Nashville yards. “It’s no use in us going,” Said ne Of the deputios; “we'll be lynched alive.’ 72. answered, y There ts no Ganger of that.” J “I want you men to return, and I promise you adequate protection.” ‘The deputies still refused, and Mayor Joyce, turning to Canty, sald: “Canty, I want you t to town and order every mun on the force to report on the bridge tor duty." Canty started to return, and Mayor Joyceand Officer Doud remained on the bride argul with the strikers. Finding the deputies bate and unwilling under say consideration to return over the bridge, Mayor Joyce finally de clared that, in view Of the conflict that had pocurred in the Loulsvilie and Nushviile yards, At was necessary for ‘him to arrest the I the posse, aud an attempt was made to take two of the men into custody. This led to a scuffle, in the heat of which Joyce and Doud started down the incline with two of the depu- ties. During the scuffle the mayor was clubbed with the stock of a rifle. They had gone less than a hundred yards when the deputies, as if by blind impulse and with no appurent cause, except in tne hope of killing the mayor and the oificer, began firing. There were several people on the bridge coming up at the time, They were not strikers, but pedestrians passing over. ‘The firing lasted but a moment. There was but @ single volley, but when the smok. cleared away @ man lay stretched, apparent! lifeless, on the foot-walk. In an incredi bly short space of me a crowd gath- ered. The prostrate man was carried into the bridge house, when be wastound to be dying. & bullet had gone through his abdomen, “He was unable to speak, but he was recognized as C. E. Thompson,ot 4021 California avenue, St. Loul When the deputies bad completed their secon murderous assault they turued tail and, hang- ing together Jor protection, slunk across the bridge toward St. Louis. ‘The different eye wit nesses of the tragedy alll agree that the attack ‘on the strikers was most dastardly and entirely unprovoked. They all assert that it is the nat- Ural consequence of putting Winchesters in the hands of tuexperienced men who have never before smelt’ power, and who would be frightened at theif shadows. Officer Ed, Muhoney, who saw the slaughter, sald that thé strikers did nothing 6 pro» oke It. The deputies opened fire betore the strikers had any opportunity to make a hostile move, Asis usual in similar cases, the inno- cent suffered most. ‘There was only one striker among the wounded.
