The Central Grant Club held q
meeting Monday evening at the Ashland
House, corner of Twenty fourth street
AMI Fourth avenue, New York. Colonel
A. II. Duganne presided, and Mr.. A. c.
Parker acted as secretary. The secretary
reported that the organization was pro.
crossing favorably, and clubs were being
formed throughout the country, but that
no club would be asked to owe obedience
to the central organization and that no
meetings Of the organization would be
held after President Grant ceased to be O
candidate for the Presidency. Seventeen
new members signed their names to the
rolls. Colonel Duganne then addressed
the meeting. He said that he had per-
sonal knowledge that General Grant did
not desire to run for another term. but
that it was the wish of the people that he
should that the great questions of the
hour demanded that he be elected for
third term, and that Grant clubs were to
to be organized throughout the country to
secure such q cousummation. Major
Thornc, Mr.. Parker and others addressed
the meeting, their remarks being in favor
of third term for President Grant. The
meeting then adjourned.

In THE State election in Maryland
there was hot and bitter contest. Mr..
ays. Teakles Wallis, a good lawyer, but not
avery good candidate for office, was upon
the ticket ofthe so-called Reformers as a
candidate for the Attorney Generalship.
Upon the regular Democratic ticket for
the same Office was Mr.. J. NJ. C. Gwinn;
he was duly elected and Mr.. Wallis in his
disappointment contested the election.
The case was referred to Governer
Groome, and he though satisfied of Mr..
Gwinn's election, for some reason did not
grant the commission. Yesterday the
0purt Of Appeals decided that Mr.. Gwinn
is entitled to his commission as Attorney
General, and affirmed the order Of the
court below granting mandamus against
the Governor to compel the issuing of Lis
commission. 1t also decided that the
Governor has no authority to examine
into the alleged frauds under his present
charge.

! Since the escape of the nurdcrer, Viii.

years ago, every exestioR has beenoused by
Dlstric. Attorney Phelps, of New York city,
to secure his recapture. When it was dis

there being no extradition treaty between
this country and Spain. Captain General
Valmaseda, Influenced by Julian Zulueta,
the slave owner and member of the Casino
Espagnol, with other friends of the f1gi-

Sharkey to Santander and enroll him in
the Alfonsist Army. This was done several
months ago. Some three weeks ago q
Police officer in Montreal, Canada, noticed
a young man acting in most suspicious
manner in the har-room of the St. Law
renee Hall. On comparing the features of
the suspicious person with q photograph
OF Sharkey the likeness between the two
was so great that the officer at once came
to this city, and informed the authorities of
the matter. Immediate action was taken
by District attorney Phelps, and the SER
vices Of Detectives Tilley and Heidelberg,
Of the Merchants Detective Bureau, No.
S22 Broadway, were engaged. A requisi-
tion for Sharkey's arrest was procured
from Governor Tilden, and intructed to
