EAsrERN SHORE oLAIMs.
The Interesting Maryland Political Situa-
tion-Claims of Eastern Shoremen.

The Baltimore Sun Of to-day says: The
approaching political campaign In Mary
land will be preliminary to the election In
November of the Governor, comptroller,
att0rney-general and members of the Legis-
Iature. In October preceding this general
State election, the city of Baltimore will
vote for members of the council and for
mayor. The Legislature when it meets will
elect a Senator of the United States, the
treasurer Of the State and one police com
missioner for Baltimore city. For nearly
every county of the Eastern Shore there is
candidate. At least names have been men
toned in this connection, as follows: Wor-
cester, Judge E. X. Wilson; Somerset, Henry
Page Dorchester, Daniel NJ. Henry; Talbot,
ex-Gov. Philip F. Thomas; Queen Anne's,
Judge John NJ. Robinson and Thomas j.
Keating; Kent, Richard Hynson; 5ecil, Hon.
James B. Groome, and there are others also.
Hon. Thomas j. Keating, the State Comp
troller, whose name is mentioned for the
United States Senate, is from the same county
as Mr.. VIM. McKenney of Centreviile who
has lately received something of a boom for
Governor. 1t is a long time since the East
ern Shore has had the Governor by popular
election. Senator Groome was elected by
the Legislature to fill Gov. Whyte's place
when Mr.. Whyte was chosen as Senator.
Gov. H icks was the last Eastern Shoreman
elected by the people, and he went into
office Just before the war. The last comp
troller elected from the Western Shore was
A. Lingan Jarrett, of Hartford, whose term
expired 1852, The State treasurer, 1t is be-
lieved, has always come. from the Western
Shore ever since the constitution Of 1851
went into effect.
Mr.. Keating In a conversation with a
representative of the Sun, gave his views on
the Eastern Shore situation. He said the
trouble has always been in State conven-
tions that for every important position
nearly every county of the Shore had a can
didate, and that the nine counties never pre-
sented solid front. Mr.. Heating spoke of
Mr.. McKenney as candidate for Governor.
He said Mr.. McKenney would make first
rate business executive. He was an
energeti: merchant and large land
owner and farmer. He is a man of
wealth, and has never filled any public
position except as delegate TO the cOnyen-
tion which nominated Mr.. Covingten for
Congress. Mr.. Heating spoke In the warm
est terms of his fellow-countyman, but he
said for Governor there were several West
ern Shore counties which had put In claims
for individuals who had claims to Fecogni-
tion. Besides this, there are several counties
OF the Eastern Shore which had put forward
candidates for comptroller, among whom
was j. Frank Turner, Of Talbot, II the
Eastern Shore is to have the Governor the
comptroller would have to come from the
Western Shore.

An Interesting Casa.

Ferdinand Sparks for using threatening
language toward a woman, was put under q
peace bond of $500 some time in February.
Yesterday Sparks met his wife, who has not
lived with him for some time, owing to his
disolute habits, and assisted on her remov-
ing a coat which she had on, becoming
angry when she refused to comply to his
wishes in the matter, and became abusive
and used threatening language. Mrs.
Sparks had him arrested and this morning he
was given hearing. The Mayor stated to
the prisoner that his peace bond, signed In
February, had, by his actions been forfeited,
and that he would order him to give bond
In the sum of $400 to keep the peace, at the
same time instructing the Chief to deliver
the old bond to the City Solicitor, who Will
be instructed to enter suit against the bonds
men for the amount. This is very unusual
course of proceedings on the part of the
Mayor, for signing of peace bond, for a
number of years, has merely been form.

This mornings Philadelphia Ledger says :
Lieutenant Thompson returned to this city
from New York last evening. bringing with
him George +. Adams or Affiick, one of the
men charged with stealing Jesse Williams
yalise and 81 900 in money, at the Broad
street station on Tuesday evening. The
prisoner was arraigned, yesterday morning
before Judge Patterson, at the Jefferson
Market Police Court, along with Holmes, or
Humes, the other man arrested in New
York, and Carrie Affiick, his wife, who was
charged with receiving the goods. Adams
was fully identified by Williams and John
Lanahan, the lad who witnessed
the theft, and was given into the
custody of the Lieutenant. At first
he refused to. come without a requisi-
ton, but when told that this was only a
matter of few hours delay, finally con-
sented. The Judge discharged Humely,
there being no evidence against him further
than that he wrs seen by Sergeant Emory
at the depot fifteen minutes before the rob
berry, and had on his person when arrested
Sf25 in new money, which looked as If 1t had
Just come from the bank Mrs. Adams was
also discharged. The prisoner will be ar
rainged at the Central Station to-day, when
Williams will have an opportunity to iden-
tify Mclaughlin, the man arrested on
Thursday. Fraley, who was captured here,
has been identified as the man who accom-
panied Williams into the restaurant, and
Adams as the man who was told to t'watcho
the valise. Before leaving Lew York Lieu
tenant Thompson secured an attachment
against about 81 900 of the money, which
Adams had deposited In the Dime Savings
