The FIatboat L5ouor case.

This case noticed in yesterdays Journal
was called up before Justice Mills yester-
day morning trial pursuant to adjournment
The Defendant John Yuht, who had been
confined in Jail since his arrest was brought
into Court about 10 o'clock A. NJ. and put
upon trial on one of the several charges pre-.
ferred against him for selling Liquor from his
flatboat while lying in the Ohio river attach
ed to the Kentucky shore, which was alleged
to be in Violation OF the Prohibitory Liquor
Law of Indiana.
Billy Stewart testified on the part of the
Prosecution that he purchased about quart
of good Apple brandy of Defendant, for
which he had agreed to pay him at the rate
of 20 cts. pint, and that he had purchased
said liquor since the 18th day of the present
month.
Cross e.rdmtned.-Testified that the boat
was tied to stake on the Kentucky shore
when he purchased said quor.
Rc-e.rdmined-By Judge Baker.-He tes-
tilted that james Slack and Thomas Dye
we're present at tie time of the purchase.
The case was rested on the above evil
dence.
James Harlan jr. one of defendants Coun-
sci argued the case at length. conceding the
selling of the liquor as alleged by the prose-
cution, but denied that the court had jurisdic-
ton of the case-he held that the offence
was committed upon the territory and within
the jurisdiction of Kentucky, and was not
punishable by any law of Indiana. He de-
MED that Indiana had concurrent jurisdiction
with Kentucky over the waters of the Ohio
river, in cases which were merely offene
ag1inst the State law of either State. He
cited numerous authorities in support of his
position that Indiana had not jurisdiction of
offences committed on the Ohio river below
low water mark.
Judge Baker, counsel for the State, took
the ground that Kentucky and Indiana had
concurrent jurisdiction of all crimes punish
able by the statute law of either State, CON-
mitted on the waters of the Ohio and,
the State which assumed to exercise such
jurisdiction first would hold it against the
other. He supported his position by the
various authorities, including the Virginia
cession of the lands north and west of the
Ohio river, to the United States and the
statutes of Indiana for the last IS years, and
decision of the Supreme Courts of Indiana

THE MARKETS.

BALTIMORE, Aug. IL, 1883.
FLoUR.-There was pretty active demand this
morning for Flour, and the market was steady at
the figures Of Saturday. There were sales report
ed this morning on Change of 700 bbls. Howard
Street for immediate delivery at SO IS, and we
heard also of sale made late on Saturday of 300
bbs. Howard Street also at So IS. There were
several buyers of this description Change this
morning, and the market for it closed steady at
the above quotation. City Mills Flour was pref
were only offering SO so, cash, for 1t.
Wheat-The receipts of Wheat this
morning were quite large, about 81 900 bushels
being offered at the Corn Exchange. The market
was heavy and prices were some to cts. lower
than on Saturday. Red Wheat sold this morning
at 170ale0 cts for fair to good lots, and for strict
ly prime do. 1876 cts. was obtained at the opening
of Change, but at the close some very prime SAM
Piles were offered at the latter figure without find
ing purchaser. White Wheat sold at lSOal9O
cts. for fair to good parcels l93al94 cts for prime
do, and some very choice lots suitable for family
Flour brought 1875 cts. The market for Wheat
closed dull.
Corn.-Corn sold to-day at soa9s cts. for white,
and 93a94 cts. for yellow.
Reeve note sales to-day of 600 bushels new
Maryland Rye at l05a108 cts.
Oats-Good new Maryland and Virginia Oats
sold this morning at 46a4S cts.
From the American of Saturday last
ToBAcco.-There is a greatly diminished de-
mand this week, and prices have given way so to
IS cts. per 100 lbs. on all qualities of Maryland
but particularly in the lower grades. The high
prices which Tobacco had reached, induced pur-
chasers to withdraw from the market, as their
orders would not justify the payment of current
rates. The accounts from the Continent arc also
much less favorable than heretofore, and these
several causes have had such depressing infu-
ence on the market, that prices would have gone
lower hut for the fact that the receipts of the
week are small, and there is stock in the hands
of agents. Good common leafy Maryland, which
last week sold at IT'S, are taken this week
at 81. We now quote
Frosted and inferior Maryland $3.50; sound
common $6a6.25; good common to middling, $3.50
aS7, and good to fine brown at S7aSl0 so.
Bay Tobacco from the upper parts of Mary
land still continues in very active request, but the
receipts are SO small, that prices have not been
affected by the same causes that depressed the
price of the Maryland crop. Wequote-
Tips or tails $3.50 for inferior. and STAT so for
good; seconds S9alO.50; reds $l2al4, and spangl-
ed SHALT.
The sales of Ohio Tobacco this week reach "a
bout 200 hhds. at prices much the same as before,
but admitted on all hands to be decidedly in ia
vor of the purchaser.

HAMproN's VEGETABLE TINcTuRE. By its
mild actions on the stomach, liver and the kidneys
will cure dyspepsia cough, asthma. bronchial and

consumption, scrofula, rheumatism govt, neuralgia

the afflicted. We lately had conversation with
venerable clergyman of this city who detailed to us
the particulars of most remarkable cure effected
by this medicine upon woman who had for years
been sorely afflicted with scrofulous affection.
