The new oyster steamer Governor
r. r. Thomas, the companion of the
Gov. McLane, built BY order Of the
Legislature for the oyster navy By
Neahc and Levy Of Philadelphia, ar
rived here Wednesday evening in
charge Of an engineer OF the builders,
and vas formally received BY the
State officials to-day. After the
steamer had been turned over to the
State, Commander Waddell immedi-
ately placed her in charged watch
man until she il commissioned, which
it is expected will be done at the
Board Of Public Works to day. The
Thomas is constructed il the same
maonor as the McLane, except that
she has one stateroom less, the addi-
tional space being given to the cabin.
Both steamers were built under q
guarantee to make fourteen miles On
hour. At the test the Thomas easily
made fifteen against strong head
winds. The committee representing
the State were perfectly satisfied with
the test Of speed, and Chief Engineer
Farmer, y. 8. II, who was present,
examined the machinery and found
it in good order. The Thomas left
Philadelphia Tuesday night at I
o'clock, and made stops at Chesapeake
and Delaware Cities, arriving here at
q quarter past four the next day.
Among her passengers were State
Comptroller Turner and Hon. Joseph
B. Seth, Col. j. M. Lowe, George x.
Haddaway, Wilfred Bateman, w. M
Merrick, I'll. j. Hopkins and Edwin
w. Hopkins, of Talbot county. In
coming to Annapolis the journal Of
the engine became overheated, caus-
ing the steamer to lose time and me-
cessitating slight repairs. A similar
accident occurred to the McLane on
her first trip.
At meeting of the Board of Public
Works today Che new steamer was
formally received, and Capt. F. Louis
Griffith, of Anne Arundel, appointed
commander of the Thomas, and
James Turner, of Wycomico, COM
mander of the steamer Gov. Hamilton

LynchIng ! NytorIeus Rohber.


George Briscoe, notorious robber.
Is reported to have been lynched on
Wednesday night by party Of mask.
ed men at New Bridge, in the Third
district Of this county. Briscoe had
been arrested in Baltimore on war.
rant issued By Justice Jacobs Of thc>
Third district, charging him with rob-
bing the residence Of George Scheme
nant, on the 18th of November, and
was being conveyed to the Annapo-
lis jail when the constable was met BY
party of masked men, near New
Bridge and the prisoner taken from
him by force and Iynched on the spot.
The csuse assigned for the lynching
was the frequent robberies that have
occurred in the neighborhood Of Ston-
ey Greek recently and the belief that
Briscoe was the robber. The events
which led to the tragedy form chap
ter Of interesting reading. Last spring
DR.. Lynch's house was entered and
robbed of 500. Suspicion pointed to
Briscoe, but nothing came Of il. There
were other petty robberies in the
neighborhood last summer. They
grew so frequent that ladies were
afraid to remain in their homes after
nightfall without the men of their
families staying home.
A general feeling of insecurity en-
sued. This was heightened by the
robbery of j. g. Armiger's dwelling
about four weeks ago. The thief Sc
cured by the operation $50 il money.
Shortly afterwards Addison john
sons store was broken open and rob-
bed of money. The dwelling of Thos.
Jacobs was also entered and robbed
of money. Richard Phelps's house
was entered one night. but the burg
lar was seen by Mrs. Phelps, who
gave the alarm, and he made good
bis escape. After this vigilance
committee visited the dwelling Of
Briscoe to warn him to leave the
county. Other robberies not men-
toned above were constantly taking
place in the neighborhood; and the
people became 80 insensed against
Briscoe, that they determined to re-
sort to the summary mode Of dispos-
ing of SO dangerous character, by
hanging.
Conformation Of the report of the
lynching of George Briscoe, reached
here today through the finding Of the
coroner's jury in the case. Justices
Thos, S. Jacobs and Thos. Boone held
the inquest and sent the report to day
to the sheriff. The finding Of the jury
is that Briscoe came to bis death by
strangulation from hanging at the
hands Of parties to the jurors un-
known.

ThanksgIyIng Services.

According to announcement, religi-
ous services were held yesterday in
Wesley Chapel NJ. E. Church, the
Presbyterian and the First M. e.
Church congregations uniting. An
earnest and impressive sermon was
delivered by the Rev. w. G. Herbert,
from Psalms 1O5--l "0h, give
thanks unto the Lord; call upon bis
name, make known his deeds among
the people, He showed at some
length how God has blessed bis peo-
pie through all ages, and how he had
blessed US as nation, and how great
ful we should be to Him for the many
blessings we are daily receiving as q
nation, rs community, and as in
dividuals. The FIRST observance oi
thanksgiving be said dates back to the
old Puritan times Of New England
the formal proclamation being in
1923. II was many years peculiarly
puritan institution, although Gener-
81 Washington recommended on diff.
ferent occasions that special day ol
thanksgiving be 0bsered for some nat.
ional blessings. President Madison,
when peace was declared, after the
war Of 1872, issued Thanksgiving
proclamation. The national thanks.
giving dates from 1868, when Presi.
dent Lincoln issued bis proclamation,
designating the last Thursday il No.
vember, as day Of thanksgiving and
prayer, which has been yearly oh.

also held In the other churches, aIl Of
which were well attended.

Large crowds gathered at the Nav
al Academy to witness the exercises
there which were of very interest.
ing nature. The most exciting feat.
ure of the occasion was the game Of
foot ball between the Johns Hopkins
University team and the Naval Ca
dets, resulting in favor Of the latter
team, after severe contest. The
game began at 1925 O'Clock, and for
one hour and a-half, with ten minutes
intermission between the innings. q
thousand persons, including many
ladies, looked on with evident inter-
est, though perhaps not one-ffth Of
those present were familiar enough
with the game to explain the differ
ence between securing goel and
counting q touchdown. Their inter-
est, however never tagged, and they
seemed to thoroughly enjoy the rough
and tumble exhibition OF muscular
strength and aIertness. In the other
games, Cadet Jackson won the Wheel
barrow race, Cadet Foust the spud
race, Cadet Slocum and Churchill the
threelegged race. Cadet West the
sack race, Cadet Beckwith the 100
yards dash, and the second and fourth
divisions the tug of-wax. The Qreas.
ed pig was caught By Cadet Harris.

The dealers in hardware aud agricultural
implements are the more numerous class Of
merchants in the towns throughout Mime

that the wealth ot tho section depends al
moa exclusively upon the wheat crop there
is but one time for payment oi bills and
debts, wig; from November to January,
hence where possible contracts are made
with time OF payment during those months.
OF course the merchant who has capital to
meet bis obligations occurring outside ot
these months will be all right, but as
great many come here and start in business
with little or no capital-trusting TO the
wheat crop and the influx Of immigrants,
failures 10 the northwest are sadly frequent.
The present financial condition OF Dakota
is such that manufacturers vie with each
other in selling as few goods 40 possible.
But all this is not the fault Of the county
but Of those who are here who persist in
holding il up as place where man needs
no money to get along, and in this way

Cotton, grain, tobacco and rice are the

Flax, hemp and jute grow to perfection,

SILK.-The products of this industry in
our State are equal in quality to the French

Irish and sweet potatoes are paying crops.
VEGETABLEs.-No where In America can
