The Newport Lice zee Case.

HC LaSS SoSS'
Editor Of the Times In perusing the
last issue of your paper, we see that you
make the assertion within its columns
that you can very readily understand why
no recommendation of licence to 81
whiskey was granted 10 Newport. Being
personally interested in this matter, and
not knowing what justifyahle reasons Can
be given for such procedure upon the
part of the Grand Jury, we write you to
give us the reasons wherefore. We ask
an explanation through your C 'lumns.
We remain yours very respec fully,
T. r. WHEATLEY & OTHERS.
THE article referred to above was writ
ten by the junior editor of the TIMES, and
only received our cursory attention pre-
yieus TO its publication. The cause re-
ferred to as probably the influencing one
with the Grand Jury, was the strictness
of Judge Magruder's charge as to the duty
of the Grand Inquest to suppress licenses
in cases where unlawful violence had en-
sued as a consequence of its sale, and the
fact of the recent difficulty at Newport.
1t was not stated tina this was jast;tyG6te
reason for the action of the jury, and the
TIMES does not deem it necessary that It
should express an opinion in such mat
ter, and does not W sh to be construed as
having done so. ED.

BadS Burned.

baot ufhed'
<sd man named Frank Holt
residing near Marshall Hall, in Pomon
key district, vas very badly burned on
Saturday night last, at his home. 1t
seems that he had been out with some
friends that evening at the neighboring
stores and had imbibed rather freely of
"tangle foot" and going home in this
condition, built large fire and lay down
before it and went to sleep. While
asleep his cothing caught fire from the
sparks or Goals. and no one being in the
house at the time he was burned very Sc
verely about the face and body before tie
fire was extinguished. The flesh on one
side of his body was charred nearly to
the bone and at last accounts but little
hopes were entertained of his recovery.

last passed off very quietly, there
being no opposition to the ticket
containing the names of Messrs.
Jacob Sturgis, Thos. 2. johnson,
John w. Smith, Jas. s. Price and
Clayton j. Purpell. In Pocomoke
City, where Col. Aydelotte made
a deperate effort to have bimself
" vindicated," he was badly de-
feated, and, it is to be hoped, had
his political aspirations forever ST.
fenced, much to the qualification
of the general public. In Col
bourne's a spirited contest took
place, but there also the regular
ticket was successful. In Atkin-
sons the opposition polled but Is
votes out of total vote OF 121.
