Bloody Foot PrintS-.MBteriouS Affair. There
was good deal of excitement in this city, yes
| terday morning, in consequence of the APP
! pGarance of footprints, marked in blood, along
several of the principal streets, accompanied by
Il trail and occasional clots of blood They
commenced in Baltimore street, below Gay,
and were traced thence up through Gay to
Fayette, Charles, Mulberry, Park, and on,
| Madison street to the commons, where was dis
covered the appearance of profusion Of blood
having been shed. This very naturally led to
prompt investigation, and we learned that a
young man had been found at that spot, by
persons accompanying butchers wagon to
market, between two and three o'clock, living
PROSTATE, and exhausted from the loss of blood
which was then issuing from the left ANGLE, and
by whom he was conveyed home. 1t was also
ascertained that the young man was named
Ed. Rogers son of Lloyd n. Rogers, resid-
ing short distance from the city, on the
Hookstown road. Various reports were in
circulation in reference to the matter. Mayor
Davies and Others during the morning, visited
the young man, with a view to ascertain if any
act of violence had been perpcttated, requiring
the interference Of the city authorities. We
learn that he states that he cut his ANGLE with
piece of window Z ass; but how or where, We
have not been able to ascertain. There is
something mysterious about this affair, and the
public mind 10 full of strange surmlses in refer
ence to it. The young mana member OF the
bar-certainy should have sought the aid of
friends, in his dangerous condition. Why avoid
assistance, when he might have procured it.,
even at so late an hour in the night, from the
watchmen' The footprint bore the appearance
of stocking on the foot, saturated with blood,
and the tread being upon the heel. Where was
Cor iS) the boot? Where pas the glass that cut
the man that split the blood that lay on the
street, that caused the people to wonder SO?
The Lexington Market This market pre-
sented beautiful sight yesterday, on account
of the vast amount of every variety of frnt and
every species of vegetable, to say nothing ofthe
great abundance of the more substantial he
cessaries of life, which crowded its numer-
Gus stands. We have never seen it more
fully attended at this season of the year, the
line of wagons extending from Pearl ST. down
Lexington ST. nearly to Howard, all filled with
different produce, principally the productions of
the garden, farm and dairy. The vast abund-
ance of fine peaches, mellow apples, delicious
cantelopes and melons, and other varieties of
excellent fruits, made an imposing display,
while the cheap rates at which they sold gave
all an opportunity of INDUCING themselves to
the fullest extent, although cholera morbus and
other diseases incident to the too free use of
green or decayed fruit, should be the conse-
quence.
Died from his Wounds. The unfortunate Ber-
nard Mcdonnell, who was so severely cut in
the arm by his wife few days since, died at
the Aims House on Thursday evening. The
news of his death was brought to the city by
Capt. Jackson, when High Constable Clifford
and officers Duval Immediately arrested the
woman upon the charge of murder. She was
committed to Jail by Justice Miller.
Inmates Of the Jail. There are now l07 per-
sons confined on various charges in the county
Jail. At this time last..year there were but so,
and the year previous 50. There are more in
Jail for trial at the October term, than the
whole number at the last term of the court con-
fined there. This is only one month since the
close OF the last term, and near two months to
the October term, when if they increase in the
same ratio, the prison will scarce hold them -
TAis looks bad for the morals of our city.
