When | asked him whether the President

New York, but that since he became

kind of vacant patronage in his oystery eyes.

his mistake by taking his life.
Speaking of the Dcnizot pier reminds me of
the Denizot boy, who is n creature worthy to
be remembered. A lank Jersey youth of
some eighteen years who works for him told
me the other afternoon that he was the
smartost boy on the island, and that he made
heaps and lots of money. Whoever goes out
on the pier walk will see him. He takes toll
at the entrance. He is a short thickset boy,
with freckled face, the paleness Of which
refuses to be affected by sun or sea. He
wears his red hair clipped short, and his
twelve years of life have been so full Of busi-
ness that his eyes have the twinkle of
an old trader. 1t is evidently part of
his belief that being in public position he
must bluff the public. His one reply to all
questions is, IL don't know" and when he

his death. He was about 30 years old.
In all stations of life Mr.. Robinson was
faithful in the discharge of his duties. IIo

and sociable, aud by his amiable qualities re-
tanned tho friends his solid worth attracted

POLITICS IN THE CITY.
REPUBLICAN, CONTEST FOR
THE CITY ASSEsSORSHIP.
A LIVELY ROW IN PROSPECT.
The COunciImen who Go Out and Those
who Remain in-The Outlook for
June.

The city election is drawing near aid az
vet there is very little talk about candidates
for City Council in any Of the wards. The
officers to be elected are eleven members OF
Council, one from each ward, and two as
SCISSORS and collectors of city taxes. In the
Northern district which is regarded as pretty
solidly Republican, no Democratic canni-
date for assessor has yet been announced
and in the Southern district which is simi-
larly Democratic, there is no Republican
candidate. The Democratic candidate in
the Southern district is Dennis Kane,
the present efficient officer, and so far no
one else has come into the field.
Not so in the Northern district. The Re-
publicans are on the verge Of warm con-
test, which promises TO become embittered
as the day for the nomination approaches
The candidates are Zachariah Pickles,
James Dandy and e. P. Moody, and there
will be hard pulling among the three. Mr.
Pickles is the brother of Chairman Pickles
OF the Republican City Executive Commit
tee, and even II he DOES not have the
strength of the committee thrown In his ia
vor he will at least have the influence of the
Half-Breed strength. Mr.. Dandy on the
other had will have the support of the city
administration, being one of the bright and
shining Stalwart lights; of the Post Office
department, being closely identified with it,;
and of Chairman Harrington, whatever that
amounts to. It is probable that between
these two the lines of faction will sharply
drawn, and Mr.. Moody who has been assist
ant collector under Mr.. Provost, and is a
very popular young man, will have large
personal following.
The feeling In the Republican party is
very bitter, and the Anti State Central Com
mittee men declare that Dandy shan't be
nominated, and If he is they will not help
to elect him. This feeling Is rather cordially
returned by the side, and harmony will be
as far from perching on the banners of the
city Republicans as victory.
THE CoUNCILMANIC CONTEST.
In Council the terms of the following
members expire, and will have to be filed
First ward-James McKenna.
Second-William H. Quinn.
Third-William Fl. Blake.
Fourth-George Abele.
Fiftb-A. P. Beecher.
sixth-Edwin c. Moore.
Seventh-Charles W. Talley.
Eighth-Abner P. Bailey.
Ninth-David r. Smith.
Tenth-Robert G. Shaw.
Eleventh-John NJ. Newall.
This will leave the holding-over members
as follows;
First ward-William G. Baugh.
Second--Amos A. Eastburn.
Third-Thomas johnson.
Fourth-Lewis Payter.
Fifth-F. B. F. Miller.
Sixth-David r. Stevenson.
Seventh-Levi Garrett.
Eighth-Lewis p. Grubb
Ninth-Joseph G. File.
Tenth-Dennis j. Mention.
Eleventh-Alfred Denney.
The holding-over members standing
seven Republicans TO four Democrats, it
will require the Democrats to carry eight
wards to secure a majority, and this they
will doubtless do, those in which their
strength lies being the First, Second, Third,
Fourth, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh.

The Baltimore Sun says this about the
Quickstep:
The visitors were evidently badly demor-
allied or they would not have fallen SO
easily, since they played the Cleaveland
club game of l to 0, the other day, and
the Cleavelands always beat the Baltimores.
This is the first game which Baltimore has
won against a professional club. The
Quickstep is a member of the Association
Alliance. 1t is to be hoped that the victory
will infuse some confidence into the players.
The game in Philadelphia between the
Philadelphias and Athletics on the new
Athletic ground on Saturday was witnessed
by at least 200 people. The sympathies
of the audience were about equally divided
between the two crack organizations.
The Philadelphias played remarkably
good game and almost succeeded in ''white-
washing" the Athletics, who succeeded In
making one run in the seventh inning,
more by good luck than by good manage
ment.

beautifully, and played with but six errors

THE FIRE AT CRIsFIELD.
The Lower Part of the Town Destroyed
List of the Losses.

List of the Losses.
CRIsFIELD, Md, April ia fire, which
consumed the lower portion Of Crisfeld,
originated In tenement house owned by
John Sterling, about half past one O'Clock
yesterday morning, and in short time, be-
fore much aid could be rendered, the flames
extended to several adjoining tenement
houses on the northern side of Goodsell's
alley. The sleeping inmates of the dwelling
were quickly alarmed and promptly re-
moved to places of safety, but their house
hold goods were pretty much all consumed.
The total loss is perhaps not less than
$50, 900.
The wind was blowing strongly from the
north aud carried the flames to the other
side of Goodsell's alley, and the sail loft oc-
,upied by Hastings and owned by Thomas
s. Hodson was soon in flames. Thence the
flames extended to an oyster house and ten
ement honse owned by Thomas Hodson
who is collector of the port, was in flames
In the meantime the house adjoining the
place where the fire originated caught, and
in spite of all efforts to stay the
| flames they spread to the store OF
Thomas Tucker, and thence to the stable
back of j. e. Stirling's and to the houses OF
J. N. Simonson, E. Tawes and j. A. Hearn
s. Co.'s adjoining. 1t was found to be i'm
possible to save the buildings already on fire,
and SO all efforts were made to keep the fire
| from crossing Hearn's alley on the one hand
and Main street ON the other, and SO placing
the whole town in danger. By active work
on all sides, the fire engine doing its full
share, the fire was confined to the above
| limits.
| About the time the fire was under COM
plete control the steamer Tangier, from
Baltimore, arrived, bringing several of the
unfortunate merchants, who returned tC
find their places of business in ashes.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Haverly's Mastodon's and Sam Hague's
British Minstrels will appear at the Opera
House tonight. The beautiful singers of
the Hague company, together with their
perfect Instrumentation, combined with the
comedy element of the Mastodons, certainly
presents an organization of SURPRISING merit
1t is a complete departure from the old con-
yentional minstrel performance and has
caught the public by storm, because the en-
tire program is chock full of entertaining
novelties and all the old stale business is
effectually done away with.
Kiralfy's Black Crook will undoubtedly
draw large at the Opera House on Wednes-
day and Thursday nights of this week. The
ballet and all the liberal display of mystic
ries and fine scenery, are some of the In
ducements which the Kiralfys always offeI

river steamer Edwin Forest by United

torney for Frank D. Brigham, United
States Inspector of Customs. The libel is
issued under charge tlat the steamboat
carried 720 passengers OF moonlight ex-
cursion to Chester on July 81, 1882, when
she was only allowed undir the Government
inspection to carry $50. The penalty fol-
violation OF the law IL this cast if the
fact is proven, will be $500, all of which
goes to the informer. A hmilar action was
brought by the same prison against the
owners Of the Thomas Clyde few months
ago, and the suit was compromised by the
payment of 81 900 by the Clyde people.

QUICKsTEP BEATEN.

Tie BaltimOres at Last Win a Game-Ten
to Nothing ON saturday--Other Ball
News.
The game between the Baltimore and
Quickstep at Newington Park Baltimore, on
Saturday, resulted disastrously to the Quick.
step. The playing of the Baltimore was
particularly brilliant throughout the game
while on the part OF the Quickstep, they
completely lost their heads n the fourth and
fifth inning, but played splendid game the
remaining innings.
The defeat of the home club is due with
out doubt 10 the inability of Casey to back
Dorr, who is compelled to ease up In his
pitching, and, as consequence, the Balti-
mores "got it on him" for large number OF
base hits.
The Baltimores will cross bats with the
Quickstep In this city on the 2Sth of this
month and until then 1t would be Just as
well TO give the Baltlmores the credit OF
beating the Quickstep fairly and honestly
on Saturday last.
