PORT TOBACCO:
Friday Morning. May 9, 1884.

The case of Kroh VS.. Smoot was argued
on Tuesday last before the Court of APP
peas though at the time of this writing

livered. 1t is expected that the opinion
will be delivered and the case settled in a
few days.

The Republican Convention of Mary
land at Hagers'own on Thursday of last
week elected as delegates at large to
Chicago Hart B. Holton, of Balti-
more county; Lycurgus N. Philips, of
Frederick James Wallace, of Dorchester,
and Thomas s. Hodson, of Somerset. They
also nominated as electors at large Thomas
A. Gorsuch, of Frederick, and DR.. J. j.
Weaver, Jr., of Carroll county. The plat
that officeholders shall not control in poll
tics the suspension ofsiver dollar coinage
and the retirement of the trade dollar.
While the convention commend the pre-
sent administration and declares that Mr..
Blance is the choice of the Republicans of
Maryland for the next President, the party
in this State was pledged only ito the
nominee of the Republican convention" at
Chicago.
There was not superabundance of har-
nony in the convention. The Federal Of
fceholders allied with the different fac
tions were present in considerable force,
and the reform principle that
oficeholders ought not to participate in
political agitation. seemed to be more
honored in the breach than in the obser-
vance. The oficeholders seemed TO rule
the roost, but it soon became apparent
that the custom house faction, which sup
ported Arthur, was in a HOPELESS minority.
The fact of the election of Holton, who
has heretofore been an avowed Arthur
man. as delegate to Chicago, has caused
some comment. Although he will pro-
badly feel bound by the resolution the
convention adopted to vote for Blaine on
first ballot, it is thought chat after thai,
should there be any prospect of Arthur's
nomination, Mr.. Holton may be counted
for the latter, in which position he will
probably be sustained by number OF
the Maryland delegates.

The fires which have been raging in the
Pennsylvania forests are of the most disas-
trous character. Thousands of acres of
valuable timber have been burnt over and
property that it will take generation to
replace has been destroyed. 1t is said
that small amount of care exercised by
the State or the property owners in keep
ing these forests clear OF dead underbrush
and leaves would prevent these fires.

during the progress of the trial. Harry

Is He a Train Wrecker p

DAYTON, Ohio, April l4-Michacls,
arrested here Friday on suspicion of being
a wrecker of the Panhandle express last
Thursday night, was identified this after
noon by Conductor Pearson, who had
charge of the wrecked train, as a tramp
he had put off only a few days before.
The measurement of his feet also cores
ponds with the tracks in the mud about
the tool house. To-day Michaels admits
that he is a tramp and that he was in the
vicinity of the wreck on Thursday but
claims innocence. There is strong feeling
against him, but so far the evidence is
merely circumstantial.

"The Times" on Dynamiters.

LoNDoL, April 14.-In discussing the
recent arrest of suspected dynamiters, the
Times says: Expectation is strong that
these arrests will lead to important dis
closures which will throw light upon the
recent explosion. We believe that one or
two informers will be produced who will
reveal the headquarters of the conspiracy,
whether in France or America. We are
assured that the French authorities are on
our side and that the French police will
prevent outrages. We have, however,
no such assurance from America. We do
not believe that American police would
connive at sending internal machines
across the Atlantic, but an open crusade
is preached in America against England.
Funds are collected there for that purpose,
and things which have been threatened
have been done. These facts are well
known to the American police. They
can act now if they choose, but in the
present temper of the American people
We should not hope for much from them"

the same, and that the clerk post the like
notice upon the door of his office not less
than ten days before the hearing of said
petition.
