Baltimore on its Rowdies.


BALTIMORE, Sept. 8.-The town meeting
called by the two thousand merchants, bust
ness and prominent men of Baltimore, assem-
bled this afternoon at four o'clock in Monu-
ment Square, to deliberate on and devise the
means OF rescuing the city from its present
condition, and restore the supremacy of law
and order. The vast square was densely
packed and all the avenues leading thereto
thronged by masses oforderly, respectable, and
influential citizens. The meeting organized
by calling to the chair Mr. Woodward, of the
firm OF Woodward & Co., and resolutions were
read setting forth in clear language our social
and political evils, condemning club rule, and
proposing effective measures to ensure fair
expression of the sentiments of the public at
the ensuing election, by protecting the ballot
box and placing in nomination honest, capable
and fearless men, i'll opposition to the nomi-
nees of the political clubs. The resolutions
provide for and demand the appointment of re-
liable men as judges at the next election, and
the appointment of a special police force to
keep order. They emphatically disavow par
ty, and empower special committee to nomi-
nate, irrespective ofparty, the most respectable
and reliable men for the officers shortly to be
elected.
The meeting was addressed by Messrs. Geo
Brown, Jas. Hodges and Geo NJ Gill. The
speeches were received with great applause.
During the meeting several efforts to interrupt
the speakers, by members of rowdy gangs,
were promptly suppressed. After the meeting
a body of rowdies calling themselves "Regu-
lators" rushed upon the stand and attempted
to harangue, but the police promptly arrested
the ringleader, and carried fifteen to the lock-
up amid the loud plaudits of the people and
waving of handkerchief by the ladies who
crowded the windows of the hotels and private
residences in the vicinity. Thus law and
order have been fnly indicated and most
determined opposition to rowdyism and law
lessness been established, which already has
overawed majority of the most turbulent dis
turbers Of the peace.

The OLDEST SHIP.-The bark Maria ar
rived at New Bedford recently from three
years. cruise in the Indian Ocean. The
Sentinel says she was built at the town OF
Pembroke, now called Hanson, for q pri-
vateer during the Revolutionary war. She
was bought by VIM. Rotcb, merchant Of
Nantucket, in the year 1888, and in the
same year she made voyage to London
with cargo Of oil. Her register is dated
A. D. 1882, and she is consequently in her
77th year. She claims to be the first ship
that displayed the United States flag in a
British port after the Revolutionary war,
which is now in existence, though in shreds.
Her model is of old French construction,
tumbling home, or rounding very much in
her top sides, and she is consequently very
narrow on deck in proportion to her size,
205 tons. 1t is said that there is standing
to her credit over 100000; and from the
earliest history Of the ship she has never
been any expense by loss to underwriters
except once, and that to very small
amount
