An exciting foot race took place
last evening about O'Clock between
Robert Redmond and Ernest Tolson,

friends of the parties, as a matter of
sport more than anything else, and to
make it more interesting a small wa

4 New Enterprise

The new enterprise of taking soft
crabs with scrapers in deep water is
considered not only an original theory
quite in contradiction of the general
hypothesis in which nature turns
hard crabs to soft ones, but also a
neat invention to evade the oyster
law of the State. Some interesting
orders and correspondence has occur
red on this subject between Com
mander Waddell, of the State Fishery
Force, and Deputy Commander Web
ster, and Mr.. a. B. Carter.

More About the EIopement AFFAIR.

The clopement of Miss HELEN
Owens, of Bristol, Anne Arundel
County, with the negro man Platter,
has caused a great deal of indignation
in that section of the county. DR..
Henery Richardson, her brother-in-
law who was in Washington yester-
day, says: Miss Owens is undoubted-
ly demented, and that if he can reach
her he will cause an examination to
be made and show that fact. She
was paralyzed when eight years old,
and has since that time been always
of weak mind. As the Washington
police authorities had decided they
had no jurisdiction when Miss Owens
was there, they were unable to pro-
mote DR.. Richardson's project in any
manner, and he left with view Of
calling for the aid of the States At
torney for Anne Arundel county.
1t was reported that the couple had
been married at Bennings on Tuesday
night, but this is contradicted The
DR.. is determined to prevent the we'd
ding from taking place, and have the
woman sent to an insane asylum.
Platter told the officer who had charge
of them during the time they were
kept at police headquarters that Miss
Owens, was much more anxious to
get married than he was. Miss
Owens, who heard the remark, added,
Eyes, indeed, | am, and | intend to
marry you at any risk"
DR.. Richardson has caused a war
rant to be issued for the arrest of
Platter on the charge of abducting
Miss Owens, an insane person, from
her home. The warrant is directed
to the Sheriff of this county, and will
be sent to the police authorities of
Washington for service to. day.

The Freighting Business.

The freighting business along the
lines of our steamboat has greatly in
creased within the past week or ten
days. The steamer "Pentz," of the
Maryland Steamboat Company, does
not reach her wharf here, on her re-
turn trip, until late in the evening on
account of the great quantity of freight
to be taken on. AS the peach season
advances the freights will be greatly
increased.

While there have been this month unprece-

theme of general comment by passengers.
