Murder will Out "

On Tuesday morning last Col. L. W. B.
Hutchins, acting deputy sheriff of st. Mary's
county, Nd, arrested at Sandy Springs,
Montgomery county, Chas. Wilson, alias
"Martin Henry" and yesterday morning ar
rested Henry Simpson, alias james Henry
Butler" the murderers of young Everett at
Pomonkey, Charles county, on July 10th.
These men are the most notorious store
breakers in the State, having been engaged
in breaking into not less than ten stores, be-
sides the killing of young Everett. They
have thus far baffled the police and detectives
OF Washington and Baltimore, and eluded
detection by taking nothing but money.
Friday night last they robbed the store at
Ashton, Montgomery county, but got nothing
but few dollars, which had been left in the
money drawer. Col Hutchins got clue to
their whereabouts while engaged in assessing
property in ST. Marys He arrived in this
city on Monday last left for Montgomery the
same day, and on Tuesday arrested Wilson.
Some of the property (shirt studs and trink-
ets) of Everett was found on their persons,
and they answer fully the description given
OF the parties. In fact they tacitly admit
having been at the store of Col. Waring, in
whose employ the murdered man was, and
there is but little doubt but that they are the
right parties. Col. Hutchins took the prison
ers yesterday from Sandy Spring to Laurel,
and thence via Odenton in the evening took
them to Baltimore and left by steamer for
Port Tobacco.
Col Hutchins has many friends in this city,
who will rejoice at his success in this matter,
having, from a slight clue, not only succeed
ed in making the arrest, but also obtaining
evidence which will result in their conviction
beyond doubt The rewards for the arrest
and conviction amount to 81, 400 Wash.
Star, Sept. 28M.
The two men were committed to the jail at
Leonardtown on Wednesday by Justice Nor
gan. These parties are well known in St.
Mary's, where they broke Jail about year
| since.

WHARFAGE FEES.
Judge Ellis Decides that they are Con
stitutional and Right.

Several months since the Northwestern
Union Packet Company entered suit to re-
cover the sum of $1,000 alleged to have
been paid the city of Muscatine, under
protest, as wharfage-the same kind of
case which the company has entered
against the city of Davenport for recovery
of the sum of 5000, more or less. In the
circuit court, at Muscatine yesterday fore
neon, Judge Ellis rendered decision in
the former case. The plaintiffs attorney
contended that the collection OF wharfage
was unconstitutional, because it levied a
tax on the commerce of the United States,
also that the wharf was obstructed by a
ferry landing, wood boat landing. lumber
pulling, &c; that the packet company now
owns the elevator and warehouse, at which
they ought to have the right to land with
out charge, having expended $4,000 in fill
ing up the ground for the former and
81 400 for the latter.
The Journal says that Judge Ellis, in
his opinion, held that the contract made
with the packet company for placing the
elevator and warehouse on the wharf binds
the company to pay wharfage all the same;
also, that the filing in, being in consioera-
ton of the privileges granted, was 10 fact
done by the city aud therefore gave no i'm

NuTerou delegates are present already.
AS regards the prospects of candidates
every moments developsments seem to
indicate that the struggle next week will
be very obstinate.
1t is not probable that ballohng will
take place before Thursday and perhaps
not till Friday.
In an interview with Hon. Wm. Z. Frye this
forenoon he denies emphatically that Mr.
Blaine would withdraw his name as a
candidate or that after the FIRST ballot he
would name the candidate who should
succeed.
Baine's friends claim that because the
Democrats believe him the most dangerous
TO their party they have subjected him to
the ordeal through which he has rassed.
There is great anxiety to know where
Illinois will go in the event Of Blaine 8
failure to secure majority.

and confident of the success of their
favorite
