MARYLAND MURDER.


TWO CECIL COUNTY coLoRED MEE ENGAGE
IN A QUARREL AND ONE SHOOTS TIE
OTHER.
On Wednesday morning last, about eight
O o'clock, on the farm of w 7. Beeks, ien-
anted BY Enoch Richards. halfway between
Warsiek and Ceciltcn, in Cecil county,
Nd. Med for Walters, colored aged about
seventeen years, shot and killed jenkins
Whaley, also colored, aged about twenty
The occurrence took place in corn field,
al ng the public road, where Walters and
Whaley, with q number of white and coll
ored men, were engaged in husking corn.
The quarrel grew out Of dispute over
the size Of the shocks of corn. The dispute
had seeminly been settled and Waters lei'
the place for pistol % il now supposed.
He returned and the quarrel was resumed.
We take the rest of our report from the
Cecil Democrat Waters at once drew a
pistol and discharged it at Whaley. Mis-
sing him be fired again This was fatal
shot. The ball entered tie left breast Of
Whaley just above the nipple. The
wounded man turned tsward the other
persons in the field and said: II believe
Medfsrd has shot me-" fell to the ground
and expired almost instantly. Waters
left the field and went to the residence Of
W. K. Lockwood, on the next farm, where
his mother lives. He told her that he had
gotten into trouble and was compelled to
20 away, and never expected TO see her
again. He also aaid that he was going into
Ceeilton to give himself up, and started
toward that place.
After the shooting. one Of the men in
the field started to Cecilton for physician
and a constable, but the others continued
with their work, apparently little concerned
absut what had taken place. DR.. Hard>
castle arrived in short time, but finding
Whaley dead returned to Cecilton. Deputy
Sheriff fanny happened to bs in the neigh.
boorhood, and, hearing Of the murder,
went as soon as possible to the scene. Get
ling such information as he could, and
taking ore of the workmen with him to
identify Waters, he started in search OF
him.
Waters has been trying to lead better
life lately, but bears bad reputation.
When the men in the field were asked why
they did net attempt to arrest him, they
replied that they did not "care to 60 where
there were so many bullets" At times
during the past he hes threatened to shoot
/ certain persons, and is said to have been
| connected with the shooting affair thai
took place in Halls Neck Lane some time
ago."
Waters left there and could not be found
but information has been received that he
has been arrested in Chestertown and con-
fined in Jail at that place.

UEoFFENDING NEeRoEs ATTACKED BY A
MOUNT vRRNoN MOB.
An Evansville, ,srecial of Nov. Is, says
Mount Vernon, where the negroes were
recently lynched, has made bid for further
unpleasant notoriety. By request, the
Evansville Light Guards-one of our
leading military organizatiops-went to
that place last night to take part in a
ladies fair. Several col1red porters were
taken along to look after the baggage and
such matters, and these at oucs became the
objects Of vile abuse by mob of a dozen or
more men. No attention was paid to their
insulting remarks; and, evidently embold.
ened by this, the rascals made rush for
the colored boys just as the company was
leaving the hall for the depot. One fellow
approached one the porters threatsnir civ
when the latter pointed six shooter at his
head, compelling him to drop bowlder
which he had picked up. This excited the
mob to more aggressive action, and for a
time an engagement between the military
and the mob seemed unavoidable; but by
great coolness on the part of the former
bloodshed was avoided. As the mob made
a united rush upon the colored attend ants
Lieutenant William Warren stepped for
ward with drawn sword and threatened to
attack the scoundrels with his company il
they did not withdraw. Being fewer in
number and not 80 we'll armed as the com.
pany, they were evidently afraid to make
an attack, and finally Withdrew, sllowing
the military to depart without further
molestation.

thanks to the people of the ancient village
and the church trustees. 1t stated that
they had never before received such q
warm welcome as at this place and the

The welcome giventhe teachers and mem,
bers Of the institute had been earnest and
hea tfelt, and the people would feel them,
selves repaid, were they to have the assur>
ance that their efforts at entertainment
had been successful.
The trustees Of the church said that
they feel themselves doubly repaid, and
thet the building was at their command at
any future time they might wish to hold
an inquest in it.
A high compliment was paid to Prof
W. A. Reynolds for his instructive talks,
and he replied in the warm and earnest
style he is capable Of
