Failed 10 Close the Capitals Eye.

The Annapolis Correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun of to-day gives an
acc cunt of what purported to be the
wreck of a vessel named the VIM.
Henry, of Baltimore, together with
the loss of life by drowning of two
coIored hands, off Cape Henry, on
Wednesday. The Sun with its
usual enterprise, ascertained from
No. al Wolf street, in that city, that
no such man, as the originator of
this news, who gave it to the Annap
lis Correspondent, who represented
himself as residing thereat, ever lived
there or in that vicinity, and by way
of addenda to the article OF the Saa's
Correspondent, the Sun states that
the report is increditable. This same
individual, who gave this news to the
suns" Correspondent, called at the
Office of the CAPwAL but did not sue
ceed in closing our eyes byany 25ct.
dodge. He was not exactly "tott,

Business men in other cities have
adopted the plan of advertising by
small but neat hand bills distributed
throughout the various cars on the
lines of the railroads and steamboats,.
These are live and wide-a-wake busi-
ness men and understand the correct
naodats operandi of building up trade.
They don't wait until business
picks up or gets BETTER" but they
adopt this means to build up their
trade and increase their sales. Ger
tainly it pays, and every business
man in Annapolis must know it, and
cannot close his eyes to its advan-
tages if he has ever travelled between
here, Philadelphia and New York
The cost is Insignificant. 1t would
pay our merchants also, if they would
follow suit and advertise by hand
bills on the A. & E. Railroad, now
that people are returning home from
their summer vacation, and strangers
will be coming to Annapolis.

Cheaper FIOnr.

Within the past few weeks there
has been a marked and gratifying de-
cline in the price of flour at our retail
stores, and an excellent quality can
now be purchased at 75 ceats per
sack or $500 per barrel. The price
of -four the past year has been en-
tirely too high compared with the
selling price of wheat, and it is about
time that decline was conceded by
the mill monopolists Cheaper -four
means every other article of house
keeping accessity at cheaper rates,
and we are evidently about entering
upon an era to be marked by a steady
gradual reduction in the prices of
nearly every article that enters into
family consumption. This will be
cheering intelligence to many poor
families, who have found it a most
difficult task all along to make botn
ends meet, by reason of the extor-
tionate prices that have prevailed
and the low wages received.

A Lively Day.

This has been a gala day in Anna
polis-a regular circus day. Eearly
in the morning country people began
to pour into the city, and before ten
O'Clock our streets presented an an
mated appearance. The large crowd
was drawn here by the attractive
show bill of John Robinson's great
circus and menageria, which was ad-
vertised to exhibit here at 2 O'Clock.
Long before that hour, the scene of
the circus grounds was one dense
crowd of hopping, yelling boys of all
sizes, shapes and colors, all eager to
get IA peep within thebig show. tits not
often circus comes to Annapolis, but
when it does come it makes haul,
and leaves many empty pocket-books
behind. The street pageant drew
out the inhabitants on every street,
and attracted the greatest attention
from the colored population and child
ren, many of whom followed the pa
rade the entire ronte.

Now You See ii and Now You Don't.


The denomination of Hon. Hart b.
Holton for Congress from this district
by the Republican Convention. which
met at Laurel, on Thursday last.
seems to puzzle even the selected one
himself. The committee notified Mr..
Holton yesterday of the action of the
convention. He said he appreciated
the compliment, but could not say
positively whether or not he would
accept the nomination, aud asked for
a delay of a day or two to make up
his mind We believe now, as we
have always believed, that Mr.. James
Gary will yet be the candidate and
that Mr. Holton will decline the prof.
fered nomination; that is, if Mr.. G.,
can see his way clear for success in
carrying this district, otherwise no po.
litical soap" from that quarter. A
prominent republican, of this city,
told Us this morning that we might
equally have added to our comments
made the other day on the colored dis
affection that there are many whites
who, although they have nothing
against Mr.. Holton, are yet op-
posed to his election on account of the
means adopted by the county conven-
ton to accomplish its purposes.

Hamden's Sensation.

An Alleged AbOrttOn Case In Which
 Four Persons Are Arrested.
 A woman named Maggie Campbell lived at s8 Greene street from last May to November as a domestic in the employ of c. w. Keeler. She was dismissed because she was not satisfactory servant. About three weeks ago she was given place to board at Mir. John Sswyer's house in Mt. Carmel being recommended by a Miss Jennie Bills borough, of this city. an acquaintance of the Sawyers. The Campbell woman appeared to be somewhat indisposed. She was visited twice by Miss BiIlsborough, who stayed over night each time with her friend. Dr. F. W. Wright, of Centerville, was called to attend Miss Campbell He found that an attempt had been made to perform an abortion in her case. Twice afterwards he was called. On the occasion of his last visit he discovered that the expected child had been born dead and had disappeared mysteriously. To pro- tect himself Dr. Wright induced the woman to make a statement, which she did at length. She named 0. ". Keeler, of s8 Greene street. this city, as the father of the child, which she said was born dead.
 Dr. Wright informed the authorities and on Monday Grand Juror Futile, of HRmden, issued warrants for the arrest of MT. and Mrs. Sawyer, Miss Billsborough and the Campbell woman. The first two were charged with assisting in procuring and con- cealing an abortion, Miss Billsborough with performing an abortion, and Miss Campbell with submitting to an abortion: The eases ease were tried before I-~tiUe DUUIICtIe, MT. Tut tie r,-Neocut1ng. The Campbell wo man testified that c. W. Keeler, who is foreman of the paint shoD of H Killam & Co.,, carriage manufacturers on Chestnut street, was the father of the child; that she herself had performed the abortion, and that nobody else had anything to do with the crime After hearing all the evi- dence the justice found probable cause and the four accused were bound over to the April term of the Superior court The bonds in the cases of MiEs BiIlsborough and Miss Campbell were fixed at $500 and in the cases of the sawyers at $2OO each. c. W. Keeler became bondsman for the first two and Prosecutor Futile fer the Sawyers.

 George Smith and Theodore Forrest were brought before U. s. Commissioner Plat yesterday for trial for making and passing counterfeit coin. The prisoners were repret sented by Lawyer James P. Pigott of this city, who waived an examination and both were bound over to the United States Dis trict court in $500 bonds for trial. Their cases will be tried in Hartford at the next session of the court, which is called for the fourth Tuesday in May at Hartford.
 Lucia Sperry rested uneasiIy on the bench in the City court yesterday when City Attor- ney Cable read the information against her, charging her with assaulting Lawyer Chas. R. Whedon.
 ''Are you guilty?' he inquired.
 t'I did not touch him until MT. Whedon took hold of me and tried to put me out of the roem,' was her reply.
 The court ordered a plea of not guilty entered.
 WucuOA dpPShrcu III Gu6 uOOFWhy OI the court room at this juncture, and Prosecuting Attorney Cable, pointing to wards him, asked the woman if she struck him.
 ''Yes did, and will do it agsin," she screamed. Then she shouted: t'Where are you?' and turning towards Mir. Whedon, who was quietly crossing the room, she sprang at him. Officers interceded and the woman was prevented from doing the lawyer any injury.
 Continue the case until tomorrow" !" quietly remarked Judge Studley.
 This seemed to sggravate the prisoner, who glared at Lawyer Whedon as she shout ed out, ''I told him that I would shoot him, and so will. Ever since I was fourteen years old have had this trouble and now I want to have it settled" The poor woman here broke down completely. She dropped into her chair, laid her head on the table and sobbed as if her heart would break.
 'Remove her from the room," said Judge Studley. Detective Brewer and Officer Net tleton slipped forward and took hold of her. She broke into paroxysm of rage and screamed to the top of her veies, ''Take your hands of me- They did not comply with her wishes, and with strength remarkable for a woman. she twisted herself out of their grasp, and stand ing once more in front of the table she shouted in a tragic voice: q did do 1t. Now I want to know what Whedon has got to say for himself. I admit that did assault him, and I will kill him if he don't-' ''Take her out, " interrupted Judge Stud ley. struggle ensued, but the woman was quickly overpowered and carried to 8 cell be- low.
