THE ALBATROSS.
The other Side of the Question AS
10 the Officers.


A sailor, recently attached TO tho Fish
Commission steamer Albatross, in an inter
view with the reporter Of THE Critic
last week stated that there was great dis
satisfaction on board that vessel among the
men owing to harsh treatment received at
the hands Of utenant-Commander Tan;
ner. Several communications from the
men on board tho Albatross have been re-
ceived at this Office denying the story, and
THE CRITIo wishing to do justice to all
parties concerned dispatched one of its re-
porters to the Navy-Yard this morning
to ascertain the truth or falsity Of the
statement ofthe sailor. Several petty off,
GERS and landsmen, belonging to the AL
batross, were seen, and they all say that the
story is wholly and unqualiiiedly false /;
that Commander Tanner, If anything, is
more indulgent to his men than any Off
Ger in the service Francis dc Villers, q
petty officer, said to the reporter: 81 have
seen great many years service
in the Navy and will frankly say
that Commander Tanner treats his
men with more uniform kindness than any
officer know. 1t is true that he Is good
disciplinarian but what would the Navy
amount to without discipline? No." con-
tinued Mr.. De Villers, you can say that
the story told your reporter regarding the
i'll treatment of the men by Lieutenant
Commander Tanner is every word false"

Edward Brooks (colored) and his wife,
Bell, of Georgetown, have not been living
happily together for the last two months,
and although the couple have been but
short time married frequent quarrels and
fights have disgraced the lireside circle.
Mrs Brooks relatives reside in South
Washington, and the couple came there on
Emancipation Day to participate in the
parade and festivities on that patriotic oc-
casion. But influenced by liquor they
again renewed their difficulties and Edward
was forced to return home alone,
Swearing Deadly Vengeance
on his spouse when he returned. He came
back to South Washington again yesterday
afternoon, and finding his wife in Clark's
alley concealed from his wrath he secured
an iron tea-skillet and dealt her fearful
blow on the head. The woman's screams
for help attracted an immense crowd of the
neighbors, but Books who is a powerful
man, warned them against interfering be-
tween him and his lady, and continued TO

in the western limits of the Capital. The

THE HAMILTON JURY



In Judge Hagner's court this morning
the jury in whose hands the life and liberty
of Charles Hamilton was placed yesterday
at 4:25 o'clock p. H., after an all-nights
sleep with the cold, hard floor for bed,
their arms for pillows and the ceiling for a
covering, came into court at 10:4O and
through the foreman said that they had
been unable to agree and that the proba-
bilities were that they could not agree.
The Court said that it was perfectly
clear case. The Government must either
abandon the case or the jury acquit the
prisoner.
The foreman said that they had been
used to having something to eat; they
had had nothing since yesterday morning.
The Court said they would have to go
back and try it over and he would order
the Marshal to get them good breakfast
and take it to their room.
The jury then retired to their room.

Hardly week passes that the police au-

and descriptive circulars from neghbsring
Maryland counties describing stolen horses
and offering rewards for their return. From
the frequency of these robberies it becomes
apparent that they are committed by a
well organized and dangerous band of horse
thieves, with whom the isolated county con-
stables and sheriffs are unable to success.

appealing to Governor Hamilton for aid in
suppressing the depredators, but no move
