Tuesday morning, about o'clock, q lamp
lighter, while passing by Dorm Ellis's, corner
of south A and Third streets, ospiod several
dozen loaves of bread laying upon the door
step of the store. The temptation was too
strong, and ho went for the bread. Mr. Ellis,
who was about to open the store, observed tho
youthful bread thief and fired II shot at him
without hitting him, but at the same time
causing n horse attached to milk wagon to
start of on u dead run down third street,
the milkmau starting in pursuit. 4 gentle
man, hearing the shot, ran around tho corner
of Third and B streets and met the milkman
running after his team. Taking him for u
thief, the gentleman drew his seven shooter
and commanded the millSman to stop, which
he suddenly did. 1t was not until tho milk
wagon was several squares of that tho enter

The unusual length of the season for ma
turing is given very generally MS an import
ant factor of increased production. Late
growth was so vigorous in portions of the area
cultivated that much immature cotton was
destroyed by the frost, Notwithstanding the
lateness of the season. This destruction of
green bolls was comparatively heavy in Edge
combe, N. c.; in Franklin, Hale, and Law
renee, Ala; in Hoxubee and Benton, Miss; in
Bienville and Point Coupec, La. in central
Texas, in Dallas, Ark, and in Fayette, Tenn
Wherever growth was most luXuriant and
the yield heaviest this apparent loss was
greatest. In Marion and Warren, Ga, the
crop was shortened by September storms. On
the Red river and in northern Texas there
was loss of cotton and injury to staple by
rains in picking the top crop. As u whole
the season was unusually favorable.
The returns are nearly unanimous in decar-
ing the stable longer than usual, whittier, and
comparatively free from trash. A few re-
port shorter staple. In parts of Georgia there
was some loss of quality from storms, and tho
late picking of the southwest was injured by
frost and rain. The amount of lint produced
in proportion to seed is reported greater than
usual in half to twO-thirds of all returns, eX-
cepting in Virginia and Missouri, where q
majority report the usual average yield. In
very few counties is the rate of yiold less
than average.
The marketing of the crop ismost advanced
in Florida, Georgia. and South Carolina, but
one-sixth remaining on hand at the end of
1882 in Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas,
one-fourth in Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennes-
see, and Missouri, the proportion was some-
what greater. From these returns it is proba-
BILE that about II per cent. Of the crop will re-
main farmers hands.
The date of finishing the harvest, reported
for each county varies from November to
February. The average for each state is {:
Florida, Dec. z; Georgia, Dec. 8; South Caro-
lima, Dec, IL Alabama, Dec. IL; Tennessee,
Dec. II; Mississippi, Dec. is North Carolina,
| Dec. %; Louisiana, Jan. Al Texas, Jan. q /;
Arkansas, Jan. o.
The caterpillar was present in three-fourths
of the counties of Texas and louisiana and
in two-thirds of those of Mississippi, Ala
bama, and Florida. The destruction was les S
general in Georgia and Arkansas The injury
was everywhere slight; with few exceptions,
was not apprecable in Virginia, North Caro-
| lima, Tennessee or Missouri. The loss is cal
culated at about 3 per cent. in Louisiana,
2 in Texas, IL in Mississippi, Alabama, and
Florida, and l in Georgia. 1t probably
amounts to eighty or ninety thousand bales

The Deteetive scnndal.

The grand jury had before them yesterday
f. X. Dooley, Charles G. Wilkinson, G. b.
Hughes, and John L. Smith. The matter
specially inquired of was probably the rob-
berry of a house on Capitol hill, which was
mentioned briefly in the list of robberes
published in The REPUBLICAN day or two
ago. How far Smith told what he knew is
not known, but if he made a free and unre-
grand jury considerable information,
Smith has, it is said, been invited
TO appear before the commissioners and
make n statement in reference to his charges
against certain members of the police force,
the substance of which has already been pub
lished in THE REPUBLICAN,. 1t was expected
that he would meet the commissioners yester-
day, but he was testifying before the grand
jury. He will probably meet them to-day.

The lower counties on the western shore
of Maryland possess finer natural advanta-
ges than any other portion of that state. The
soil is fertile, the climate mild-they are in
tersectcd with a network of deep creeks, nav
igable or easily made navigablo, and flanked
on the western and northern border by two
large cities Before the war they were, for
their area, tho greatest tobacco growing Sec
tion of the country. Their waters teom with
fish, oysters, and crabs. All tho game birds
of the Chesapeake live within tho area of
these counties in as great numbers rs ON the
shores of the bay itself This section Is well
wateredswell wooded, and contains many in
exhaustiblc deposits of the finest known nat
ural fertilizers. 1t is the American paradise
of the peach, the pear the grape, and the wa
termclon. It is very healthy region, and
famous for the vigor and longevity of its in
habtants. Tho only endemic disease is
fever and ague, which can easily be removed.
This section is, however, almost an un-
known land Colorado is easier of access to
the Washingtonian or the Baltmorean than
tho western shore peninsula. To go over il
you must walk or rido horseback or in car
riage. Point lookout the southern extrem-
| ity OF tho western shore of Maryland, has
| capabilities as watering place unsurpassed
by any on the Atlantic coast. To that point
two rival railways are already graded, but
neither finished Twenty years ago the legis-
lature of Maryland chartered the Washing
| ton City and Point Lookout railway, and
| granted $4,000 for making survey of the
route TO the district line. The district board
of npblic works gave 81, 900 to continue the
survey to the corporate limits of Washington.
After years the Maryland legislature appro-
| priatod several thousand dollars for internal
| improvements in these lower counties, and
| granted charter TO another company known
as the Southern Maryland railway. Work
| was commenced on the latter road, and for
various reasons suspended Three years ago
tho Washington City and Point Lookout
Railway company resumed work, and the
Southern Maryland also woke up, the latter
commencing at Brandywinc, in Prince
George county, where that road inteTseCts
tho Popo Creek line of the Baltimore and
Potomac railway, and soon had it completed
to Mechanicsvillc, st. Mary's county, and one
train is run daily from Brandywine to Char
lotto Hall. 1t has now been over q year since
all work towards further extension or COM
pletion of either road was abandoned. The
giving Of fast transportation facilities to this
section of country would soon convert it into
q market garden to supply Baltimore and
Washington, emigration would flow IN, cities
would be built, and the entire section be MS
prosperous and valuable as northern New
Jersey, or Essex and Nliddlesex counties,

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 15.-Tho wardrobe of
the eminent tragedian, Edwin Forrest, was dis
posed of to-day by public auction at the rooms
of Davis & Harvey, 1912 Chestnut street. Con-
trary TO general expectation, the sale evoked
little interest among members of the theat-
rical profession. Thomas w. Keene, the
tragedian, was present, in company with his
manager, William II. Hayden, and fully n
third of the collection was knocked down to
the last named gentleman. Mrs. Forrest
widow of the dead actor, was in the room, but
beyond Mrs. English, mother of the late Lu-
cille Western; j. B. Roberts, and Miles Levick,
very few members of the dramatic profession
were present. The prices realized were in
most instances very poor, although it was un-
derstood that the managers of the Forrest
home by whose direction the sale was held,
were satisfied with the amount realized by
the wardrobe, as they were not unmindful of
the wear and tear the various dresses had
been subjected to, or of the long period dur
ing which they had been laid aside. The
sale realized about "a, 900.
