The Investigation into the Ledbury murder, has

suspicion of numbering Mrs Baker
The Herald says that the late King of Naples left
good deal OF treasure in the vaults of the Royal
Palaces, but large portion is believed to be invest
ed in Russian, Danish, and Dutch bonds
The DAILY Ne'cs announces that special COM
mission is to be appointed for the investigation OF
sanitary arrangements for the protection of the
army. Mr. Sidney Herbert is to be the chair
man.
The Advertiser says that the leaders of the Oppo-
sltlon have decided on not moving an amendment
to the address, but that notice will be given OF
the intention to bring forward resolution in the
week following, expressive of a want of confidence
IN the Derby Government. At present the under
standing is, that Mr.. Gibson shall move and Sir
John Ramsden second the resolution. Mr. Bright
is expected to speak in favor of the non confidence
motion.
The Herald ridicues the idea of united action
among the liberals, and says it is as improbable now
as before the general election

Simultaneously with the news of the battle of
Monticello come accounts of the opening of the
Spring campaign, in the adjoining counties, by
day evening the steamboat Lancaster went on an
excursion to Browns Pavilion, about ten miles
down the river, and ''upon her arrival at that
'place fight ensued between the excursionists
'and another party who had gone to the Pavilion,
'trom the city, in buggies," and ''several of the
'combatants received severe injuries" On the
same morning Sabbath school party'' went
upon an excursion TO the Relay House. upon the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and seem to have
had very happy time, until 'en or fifteen rowdies,
'hailing from Federal Hill, appeared on the
'ground." Although armed with knives and
pistols, these desperadoes were held in check, ap-
parently by superior numbers, but not before they
had effectually put an end to the enjoyment of
these harmless excursionists, and well nigh pro-
duced some serious results by their brutal be-
havior.
These scenes are simply repetitons of those which
occurred with such frequency last summer
Scarcely pleasure party then left the city by land
or water, that their festivities were not marred
before the close of the day. by the intrusion of some
coWardly gang, upon whose excuses the presence
OF defenceless women and children was no re-
stralnt. People began to look upon excursions as
rather dangerous amusement and those whose
limited means or daily occupations precluded them
from seeking recreation in other ways found them
selves debarred the means of making their scanty
holidays healthful as well as pleasant.
Is the same condition of things to recur again :?
If So it is proper to consider what can be done to
remedy it. The police of the city cannot of course
be detailed for such service; and in the counties,
the few scattered constables who ordinarily suffice
to ensure the execution of the laws among the
peaceful and quiet farmers, could not be gotten
together with the necessary prompttude to ensure
the prevention repression of these outrages.
We fear that there is no alternative for the citizen
between abject submission and determined and
instant resistance. If noted DULLES will continue
to flourish their revolvers among crowds of I'M
offending men and women, they must expect the
hour when, instead of finding passive victims, they
will be confronted by those whose hands will be
swift TO deal out to them the retribution they de-
serve.

After the transaction of regular business of the
Board, the following proceedings took place:
Mr.. w. j. Taylor, Director, sent his resignation
to the Board, which was accepted.
On motion, Henry S. Taylor, ESQ.,, was elected
to fill the vacancy.
The report of the Committee on Transportation
was received. 1t recommends that Cameron be
made first class station.
1t reports adversely to lowering the tariff on
COAL
Mr.. Travers opposed the adoption of that portion
of the report in reference to the transportion of
coal. He had made diligent inquiry of en-
ployed on the road and who had every facility for
properly calculating the cost per ton per mile to
transport coal, and the conclusion at which he had
arrived was, that it cost but $40 of a cent. He
could not see the proprety the justice of keep
ing the tariff at the present standard, and believed
that it would conduce to the benefit of the road if
it was lowered.
MIR. Coates was in favor of keeping at the present
rate. The traffic in this article had increased dur
ing the month, as the statistics would show. An
engagement had been entered into by Baltimore
ans to supply the Cunard and the Pacific Steam
ship Companies with coal, and this alone would in
crease the traffic rs 900 tons.
The matter was discussed at some length, when
the report was adopted by vote of IA yeas, 10
NAYS.
The President then presented comparative
statement ot the condition of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad and the competing lines of the North
also showing the means employed to meet the
necessities created by the action of the northern
roads.
The course pursued by the President was unani-
mousy approved.
DR.. Ohr offered a resolution increasing the wages
OF baggage masters to S45 per month. Laid on the
table.
After the transaction of minor business the Board
adjourned.
The transportation Eastward V, into the city of
Baltimore, on some of the principal staples, during
the month of May, has been as follows:

From all quarters of the North and West so far
as heard FROM we have reports of very severe dam
age done to the growing crops by the frost, the
night of the 9Th inst. In some quarters everything
of this years growth, with the exception of the
grass and some of the harder grains is said to be
killed. Grapes, apples, plums, cherries, peaches,
the leaves on the forest trees, clover in the fields
and of course all vegetables in the gardens, are
presented as totally destroyed, seriously in
jured as Materially to diminish the chances of a
crop. We remember quite killing frost in June
1913, and in lS45 much wheat destroyed in this
State, by one which occurred when it was in
! bloom Great fears are now entertained for the
safety of that crop in the Northwest.
