CITY INTELLIGENCE

AZ Eycape-.A Foreign Sounded. Some
time since, gentleman, IN all outward appear
ance, arrived in the city Of Baltimore, and took
rooms at one of our first hotels In due course
of time he made the acquaintance ola number
Of our 'young bloods," and was introduced in
to several of our most respectable families,
all being under the impression, from informa-
ton derived from himself, that he was a younp
foreigner ofwealh and distinction. He man

time since he had so engrafted himself in the

pledge OF reciprocal love had passed between
them, and they were engaged to be welded.
But "the course Of true love never did run
smooth, and so before the nuptas were celc-
brated, rumor came, and then positive as
scrtlon, that the young cavalier was not what
he protested to be, but an impostcr. Inquiry
was made by the friends Of the lady, and it was
most positively asserted that the "foreien gem
tleman," had in time past, eXpiated crime by
a life in the galeys of foreign nation, and
that at best he was only ono of the lowest re-
representatives. of his nation. The match Gin

young foreigner" saw proper to make off with
himself also, leaving behind him numerous UNI

his supposed responsibility, judging from his
conversation and the company he kept

but there is very little doubt, that he will
try to play the same game somewhere else, in
this land of freedom where an honest mechanic

and made fool of The lady certainly made
a narrow escape, and the lessen, it has taught,

Fined, Five Of the parties, named George
Marley, John Swain, Edward Wilson, Ben
jamin Eney, and William Blackstone, who
were arrested on Monday, charged with the
destruction Of the fencing around St. Peters
Church, on the corner of Poppleton and Hollns
sts., were further examined on Wednesday, be-
fore Justice Wight. The fact having been
proven, they were fined under the act of as
sembiy, passed Feb. 10, 1914, chapter l29, the
sum of $40, with costs, each. The law makes
it penal offence to wlfuIly destroy the fenc-
ing around any public property, or any public
buildings, and it is to be hoped that this exam
pie may deter other youths from committing
similar acts.
