In the course of the day Mr.. Katenkamp
visited the Jail and recognized him, and also
the umbrella. Upon this little batch of tes-

United by Walton Gray. Esq, before whom
the examination took place, to await his
trial crla upon each charge. There was also
found upon his person a very splendid knife,

manner to the articles above, though the
absence OF the silver mountings on the one
side, gives occasion for suspicion of another

THURSDAY MORNING, AUG. 7, 1915.

In the Resolutions of the meeting held
at Bensville, published in our last paper.
Mr. VIM. H. PLowDEN is made to appear
as having offered one as an amendment.
and its having been concurred in by the
meeting. It appears Mr.. P, having been
casually at the meeting, offered, as he says
in communication which will be found
in our columns, this or a somewhat SINH
lar resolution, and distinctly recollects of
its having been read, but so far from being
concurred in, was rejected unanimously.
We have received a communication from
Mr.. J. F. SPALDING, the chairman Of the
meeting, from which, to satisfy all parties,
we extract the following "The mistake
was with myself, for which | very much
regret" Editors having copied these reso-
lutions, or in otherwise noticed them, will
please make the correction. Here is the
Resolution as inserted by us.
The following was offered, as an amend
ulClt3 ny MI w Lillian LOWDENs WHICH,.
together with the above resolutions, was
concurred in by the meeting:
Resozred, That we being under the i'm
preston that taxation is unequal through
out the State of Maryland, that we, the tax
payers of Charles county in meeting assem-
bled, do determine that we will pay no fur
Their tax for the purpose of paying the debt
of the State of Maryland.

1t is not necessary, at time like this,
that should appeal to the patriotism of the
young men of Charles county to arouse
them to proper sense Of their duty, when
their aged fathers, their wives and children,
are looking to them for protection. Come
then to the rescue. If four young men in
each district will turn out, have no doubt
that in two days, more than the requisite
number may be obtained. Such corps
would be the pride of our county-they
would be hailed with joy wherever they
might be sent on duty, and in any time Of
great emergency they would form the nu-
cleus around which a military force would
rally at the shortest notice, giving security
10 the property of the county, and conf
dence and protection to female helplessness
and decrepit old age.
Your obedent servant,

To the Editors of the Port Tobacco Times:

To the Editors Of the Port Tobacco Times:
Messrs. EDITORS: By some wonderfully
strange fatality, observe my name has
crept INTO your paper in connection with
the late meeting at Bensville. Allow me
few words in explanation, which you will
oblIge me by publishing. Having gone TO
BensVllle with the intention Of attending
meeting called there on that day for the
purpose of organizing better police over
the negro population of the district in which
reside, | was, after entering the room
where we were all invited out of the rain,
by the offering of the set of reso-
lulons published in your last. They were
sudden and unexpected to me, for ! did not
know that reputation was there lurking
behind the scenes; had |, it would have
been Stunned by me as a scorpion. But
finding myself In the midst of the affair UNI
did presume to take exception
TO the spirit of the resolutions, charging the
parties who originated them with repudia-
ton, and an effort to make political ca pital.
do acknowledge that did introduce, as a
to strike out and amend the re-
solutions offered by John H. Digges, ESQ,
one somewhat resembling that to which |
find my name attached in your paper, and
distinctly recollect that it was read by
Mr.. J. F. Spalding, who, believe, acted as
chairman but SO far from its being con-
Cured in by the meeting, know we'll that
it was unanimously rejected, voting against
it myself; and certainly was much pleased
TO find the sense of the meeting so stronp
against reputation when divested of its ha-
biliments.
In conclusion, Messrs. Editors, have
one word to add. The individual who
acted as reporter TO that meeting must have
me intentionally, or his men,
al faculties were obluscated by natural dull
ness or some facilitating cause, otherwise
he never would have inserted my name in
lis report after the manner he has.
7 ours, very respectfully,
VIM. II. PLOWDEN.

MARGARETfA SYLER.-This is the name
of the young German girl upon whose per-
son four ruflians committed most horrid
and brutal outrage, one of the blacklist that
ever graced Baltimore city. The Sun says she
has been committed to Jail, at her own re-
quest, to await the October session of the
court as a witness against her violators.-
Ample bail was offered by the German So
ciety, but she preferred this course, doubt
less to escape from the unpleasant, though
we'll disposed scrutiny of the curious, and
Ito give apnblc assurance that she has no
disposition to evade the disagreeable duty
of giving evidence in the case. Her bro
Their was also committed as witness, and
the German Society have made arrange
ments with Mr.. Sellers, the warden, for
the reception of Miss Hess, a young lady
of the family in which she had been resi-
ding on the Point, as companion for her,
and every accommodation for comfort and
convenience has been provided, with the
full liberty of the enclosure. Indeed we
have every assurance that they will be trea-
ted Jas of the warden's own family, du-
ring the period that it may be necessary
for them to remain there.
We were called On by gentleman in
whose family Margaretta Syler had resided
for week after her arrival in this country,
who assured us that her parents in Germa-
ny are very respectable people, not of the
''lower order" by any means, and that she
has two brothers residing in St. Louis, one
of whom is in excellent business, whittier
it was her intention to GO. She is repre-
scented to be a girl of modest and retiring
Ideportment, is we'll educated, very intelli-
gent, and writes an excellent hand. In fact
she is every way worthy of the deep feel
ing of sympathy which her wrongs have
excited in the public mind.

JOHN HAMILTON, Esq, submitted the fol-
lowing, which also received an unanimous
appropriations
ReSo7oed, That the recent conduct of a
part of the slave population of our county
shows that spirit of restlessness and dis
satisfaction exists to great extent amonst
them; and this state of things has, in our
opinion, been produced by the bad advice
and improper interference of designing and
wicked white men, we therefore deem it our
duty to watch with the utmost vigilance and
care the movements and conduct of all ped
lars and other suspicious characters travel
ling through the county; and we pledge
ourselves to arrest and punish all those that
may be detected in corruptng or seducing
our slaves.
The committee then proceeded to select
the following gentlemen as captains for the
several districts, which were unanimously
of:

AMERICAN CONT is stated that the
Post Office Department has come to the
conclusion to receive only American coin
in payment for hostages, or when desired
to receive foreign coin, to take it at its
weight and value only, instead Of its demo
mination as hitherto, say fps, levies and
quarters, as halfdimes, dimes, and twenty
three cents.

In our columns will be found commu-
nicatlon from the pen of WALTER NJ. Mil
LAR, Esq, to which we would call the at
tention of our readers. He recommends
the reorganization of the militia and the
formation of corps of horse. We see that
our neighbors have done so in Prince
Georges, who, from recent facts, we should
Judge had far less cause for such course
than we. He calls upon the young men of
our county. So say we. Let them arouse
themselves-now is the tme-procrastina-
ton may prove doubly dangerous. 1t is one
of the surest means and perhaps the only
safeguard. We look uponit as such.

a captain and lieutenant as their leader, for
the purpose of palroing in said school dis
trict, whose duty it shall be to dispense all
meetings of negroes, and to punish all ne

worship, held by an authorized white min
lister.

The National lntelligencer says that the
victims who were killed by lightning near
that city were Mr.. Boose, his wife, and their
infant. They were found dead in their
house, near the Piney Branch, north of the
Race-course. 1t would seem that Mr.. and
Mrs Boose were seated around table, OPP
poste to each other, the latter with her in
FAINT in her arms. The child and its father
were discovered lying dead upon the floor,
the mother sitting in chair. Except a
small hole, like that from a duckshot, in
the head of Mr.. Boose, no wound of any
kind was perceptible. Their other children,
some three or four, Of various ages, up to
ten or twelve years, were in the room, not
far distant, when their parents were struck,
and escaped without injury. When the rain
ceased they gave the alarm to the nearest
neighbor, their grandmother, Mrs. Osborne.

bunch of perfect wheat (of the yellow beard
ed Variety consisting of 76 stalks from one
grain. The stalks are nearly all OF the same
height, good heads, and perfectly ripe. 1t
was raised within few miles of this place,
and has been left here for exhibition, and to
be forwarded to your city. have never
before heard of any thing like it, and it is
quite curiosity of the wheat crop, at least
to me-"

SMALL SwINDLING ON THE WHOLESALE
PLAN-A "pretty slick" looking fellow, re-
ioicing in the name of Salem Pegg, was ar
rested on Saturday, in Pratt street, by officer
Cook, of the firm Of Hays, Zell s. Co..
charged with the forgery of the name OF
Mr.. David Judah, to due bill for 800
which he passed the preceding day, on Mr.
D. H. Barnett, lottery dealer, for tickets in
the scheme of Friday last. After his arrest
an umbrella in his possession was thought
to resemble the one described, and mention
ed in the Sun of Saturday, as having been
fraudnlently obtained from Mr.. Katenkamp
in Howard street. He was also identified
by Mr.. Robert Brown, who was sent for by
