rom ClHOTd, watches claimed by l.. u. Nc
Blair, Esq, Mr.. John kehlenbeck, and Mrs
Nicholson, SC, which had been pawned by
Brown, Mr.. Thorpe, a clerk in the Post OF
flee, testified to his having left watch with
Brown for repair, and that he had called for it
repeatedly and could not obtain it, that lie had
gwen officer Patterson an order to obtain it for
him, but subsequently meeting Brown, he in
formed him that it was in Sylvester Cliford's
possession. Brown went with him te Cliford's
where he obtained the watch by paving S35
for It, the sum for which it had been pawn
ed. Mr. - Herman, testified that he was
sent for last week by Mrs. Nicholson. TO
see DR.. Buchanan at her house, who said
he could give her information where she could
obtain the watch which had been left with
Brown for repair. He went, saw DR.. B., who
read him list of the watches, the property of
different persons, which had been pawned by
Brown. and said that re would obtain hers for
her, for a certain sum, which he named. DIR.
Buchanan stated that Brown had informed him
that he had been pawning his customers
watches for seven years. The State here closed,
and the defence having no counsel present, de-
clined offering any testimony. The above evil
dence, it will therefore be seen, is wholly err
pdrie, and would, in all probability, assume a
different aspect, when the defence was heard.
1t will, however, be legally investigated before
the proper tribunal, and we hope, satisfactory
ly explained in every particular; we shall not,
therefore, offer any comment. Martin s.
Brown, who was present at the investigation,
was remanded to Jail, to stand his trial at the
September term Of the city court, on the charge
of conspiracy to cheat and deraud William
Gwynn, of Jno., and others out Of their mo-
ney. Dr., Buchanan and Sylvester Clifford,
were each held to bail in the sum of $500, TO
answer the same charge, at the September
term Austin Clifford was discharged, there
beng no evidence whatever against him.
Further Particulars of the Storm of Sunday.
The storm on Sunday afternoon did more
damage than was at first supposed. In our
walks about town yesterday, we gathered the
following articulars:-Calvert street in front
Of the City Mills has been torn up, and hole
fifty feet in depth made The hole extends in
length near one hundred feet. The foundation
in front of the Mills has been swept entirely
clear of earth, great quantity (which wash
ed into the race. The damage to the mills, in
loss OF grain, &c, will, it is supposed, amount
to $4,000. Two new houses in Jefferson st.
fell from the effects of the storm. In Holiday,
Bath, Pleasant, North, Calvert and other streets
in the vicinity of the Meadows, many cellars |
and easements were inundated. The lower
story of small house in Calvert, north of
Bath, was nearly filled with water, and during
the fright and confusion, a child that had been
sick up stairs died In Gay street, near the
bridge, in Harrison and Frederick, the damage
was also considerable. Some parts of Pratt
street and portions of many other streets were
very much flooded. An unfinished two story
house at the corner of Pratt and Ann SIS. was
blown down by the wind. In Orchard, near
Ross street, low Of FIVE new buildings, which
were erected as far as the second story, had the
whole front entirely destroyed, and torn down,
by the effects of the rain and wind. They
were the property Of Mr. Dorney, in Franklin
street Out Madison street, near Mr.. Tiffany's
place, large brick dwelling, which has Just ;
been put under roof, was completely wrecked.
The roof was thrown off on the adjoining lot, &
nearly all OF the walls Of the front part of the
building levelled with the earth. 1t is suppos-
ed to have been struck by the lightning. A
more complete wreck of building than this
we never saw, and shows that the storm must
have been most tremendous in that vicinity.
In Low street, adjoining the Front street Thea
ire, the water forced a hole in the street, and
making way for itself, came out in Jones
Falls. How the water managed to force hole {
Trough the pavement, where there was moth
ng TO Gam 1t up, is past comprehension. In
light, at Baderson st., the bed of the street q
