o'clock this morning the residence OF q
colored man named Henry Johnson, In
. row OF old frame tenement houses In
Warmers Alley, in the rear Of State
street, where the principal stores are
situated, was found 10 be on IRE.
Johnson, who had been drinking freely
and who had quarrsled with his wife,
was found lying in the alley, and sub
sequently went to the house Of neigh
Dor, where, he remained for nearly two
hours. The FIRE wac extinguished, and
upon the fremen going through the
house they found the body Of Johnssn'l
wife, badly burned, in the second
story. Life was extinct, and the body
was removed to the Morgue, where Il
was discovered that there was deep
wound on the right temple. By direo
ton of Justice Gosssn, Johnson Was ar
rested. Upon being interrogsted, he
stated that he attempted TO save his
wife, but that she would not Jump ouI
Of the window, which was not 10 fee
from the ground. He admitted COINS
TO the neighbours house and not inform
ing the fremsn or others that his wife
was in ths burning building, and sale

about her. 1t is said that Johnson wa
Jealous of the dead woman, and was ii

IT WILL ONLY be five weeks before the
February meeting Of the Levy Court,
but it is not expected that much will
be done at that session except the ap'
pointment Of collectors. At the meet
ing in March petition will be pre-
scented asking the Levy Court to pay
Peter J. Ford the loss he sustained In
the contract for grading the old basin
preparatory to the erection Of the new
Court House. In an article a few days
ago We fully set forth the grounds
upon which the application for reim-
bursoment will be made and We are
gratifed to find that the suggestions
We made .hat Mr.. Ford should be paid
have met with hearty response. That
Mr.. Ford lost some S400 or $500 on the
contract was no fault Of bis, bat the
fanlt OF an error in the specifications
fer which he should not be held re.
sponsibls. We believe this Is the pre-
vailing sentiment.

The Concert Wednesday Evening


Of the Thayer combination, which
will give concert in the Opera House
Wednesday night, an exchange says ;
miss Kate Thayer possesses voice Of
wonderful power. 1t is also of good
compass, Of considera bic fexibility and
general good quality. We have seldom,
If ever, heard such soft, rich, round
full notes as Carlo Curt draws from his
violin. Falveil is also master Of the
flute as is Burghese master Of the
guitar. To hear CURTIS solo on the
Xyliphons alone is worth the price o.
admission. Often as we have heard this
instrument before, we never knew what
it was capable of until it's beauties
were revealed yesterday evening. From
the beginning to the close Of the enter.
tainment, last night, the audience
were held spellbound. From the mo-
ment the "Spanish Students appear.
ed in their picturesque costumes, unit
the close, the spirit OF poetry pervaded
the hall. It was an entertainment re
calling tue days Of chivalry revivine
the days of love and ronanGs.

COL. EDWIN H. WEBSTER.

The Congressional Convention which
met i'll Baltimore, on Thursday last.
unanimously nominated Col. Edwin II.
Webster, Of Hartford county. as the Re
publican candidate for Congress in this
(the Second) district.
The nomination of Mr.. Webster was
entirely unsought on his part, but was
made i'll response to the almost unani-
nous voice of the Republicans Of the
district. Mr.. Webster gives Gems. Gar
field and Arthur his heartiest support
the former of whom is reported to have
written him letter within the las few
days, urging him to accept the nominal
ton, if given.
Mr.. Webster is statesman of national
reputation, and gentleman of acknowl-
edged integrity. AS between Mr.. Web
ster and either of the gentlemen named
as candidates by the Democrats. the
voters of this district ought not to hest
tate moment to give him their sup
port. The following is a short sketch of
Mr.. Webster:
Edwin Hanson Webster was born on
March. 81 1929, near Churchvillc. Har-
ford county, his father. Henry Webster.
being 4 descendant Of one of the earliest
English settlers in Maryland At the
age of Is years he entered Dickinson
College, Carlisle, Pa. and was graduated
i'll 1911. He taught school about eigh-
teen months, and then studied law
in the office OF Ohio Scott. at Belair. be-
ing subsequently admitted to the bar in
Baltimore city. In 1875 he was elected
State Senator. being the candidate OF the
American party. and at the second SEES
sion was elected President of the Senate.
In 1886 he was Il Presidential elector. and
assisted in carrying the State for Milard
Fillmore. In 1859 he was elected to Con-
gresS. securing a majority of 100 votes in
his district. On the breaking out of the
war of the rebellion Mr. Webster lie
cared in favor Of the Union, and in 1861
was reelected to Congress on that issue.
Under authority of Gov. Bradford he, in
1862. recruited the Seventh Regiment of
Maryland Volunteer Infantry. and in Sep
TENDER of that year went into active ser
vice. In January following he took his
seat in the House of Representatives for
the short session. leaving Lieutenant
Colonel Charles f. Phelps in command
of the regiment. Col. Webster was re-
elected to Congress in 1863, and subse-
quently resigned his commission as colo
mel of his regiment. For his military
services of fifteen months, twelve of
which We're III the field. he would accept
no compensation. In the thirty-cighth
Congress he advocated the fourteenth
amendment 10 the Constitution, abolish
ing slavery. In 1864 he was for the
fourth time elected to Congress. but re-
signed i'll 1860 to accept the position of
Collector of the Port of Baltimore. He
held this office four years. Since his re-
tircment from Office he has devoted his
time to the practice of law at Belair. and
to the cultivation of his farm giving
much attention to the sbreeding of I'M
proved stock.
