commendation. It was remarked by
many, that they presented . very
neat, and even imposing appearance.
They acquitted themselves like men.
Although they brought up the rear,
yet it did not in the least destroy the
fine impression made, by the advance
guard, but on the other hand, added
to it. Mr. Editor, /. like yourself,

Notwithstanding the incIement
weather that prevailed alI Of yester-
day and last night, the Leland Juve-
nile Opera Troupe was greeted with
crowded house at Masonic Hall.
When the character of the perfor-
mances istaken into consideration, this
is no little wonder, for any one who
witnesses the wonderful and versatile
performances of the Leland children
once, become so infatuated with them
that they cannot resist the inclination
of witnessing the second and even the
third time. They are q marvel of
wonder, and their perfect command of
the violin and cornet, together with
the great harmony OF voices and skill
in acting make them altogether rare
attraction. This. afternoon and to-
night will be the last opportunity our
citizens will have Of witnessing the
performances Of this most excellent
troupe.

The LynchIng Or BrIscOe.

The lynching of George Briscoe,
colored, in the Third district, on We'd
nesday morning last. by q party Of
masked men, of which particulars
were given in the CAPITAL of yester-
day, may be condemned by some, yet
under all the circumstances, it was,
perhaps, the only way to rid COM
munity of so desperate q character as
this negro bad proved himself to be.
He had been ordered by the residents
Of the neighborhood to take his de-
parture or abide the consequences, but
he defied their threats, and persisted
in making his presence terror to the
female inhabitants ofthe neighborhood
and 0 feeling of general Insecurity
among the inhabitants of that section.
While we do not approve of lynch
law, yet there are some instances
where it is justifable. Justice Thos.
S. Jacobs, before whom Briscoe had
the hearing Wednesday afternoon
which resulted in his commitment to
the Annapolis jail, stated that Bris-
GOES manner and language were in
sulting to himself and ell who were
present. The man was. full of bra
vado at all times. Justice Jacobs
explained to him that he was not be-
ing tried for burglary, but simple hav-
ing hearing preliminary to his ap-
pcarance at q higher court, but the
man objected to the magistrates pro-
ceedings and to Deputy Sheriffs Graf
ton Boone and Tip Wells as escorts
to Annapolis. It was necessary to
bind him in order to get him safely
to Jail. This was done with leather
hame strings. The deputies left Ja-
cobsville with their prisoner at 7.3O
P. m. They had passed over New
Bridge, which spans the head of
Magothy river, and had gotten about
half way up the hill, on the south
side, when more than score of men
swarmed into the road from the woods
and stopped his team. He was CON-
manded to leave the carriage and
make quick time from the neighbor-
hood. Seeing that he hesitated. the
lynchers, all of whom were masked.
told him be would certainly come to
grief if he resisted. Wells was un-
tremendously dragged out Of the
carriage and told to "git.n Boone
then alighted and left the place. Dur
ing the brief time the above events
were transpiring. Briscoe sat calm
and unmoved. One of the lvnchers
said to him: You're an innocent
looking son Of gun, ain't YOUR
j don't know whether / am or
not, replied be-
These were the last and only words
Boone heard Briscoe utter.
This is the second case Of lynchine
that has occurred in Anne Arundel
county within the past ten years, the
former case being that of 4 colored
man named Simms, who was taken
from our jail at night By . party Of
masked men and hanged to . tree
near Best's gate, about half q mile
from town. Simms was committed
to jail for an assault on 8 white GIRL
in the Fourth district and was await.
