AGolden Wedding.

1t is not often that many of us live
to the ripe old age of three score and
ten, but when we reach the golden
harvest of our life, and arc able to
look back with satisfaction over fifty
years of a married life, as was the
case of an aged couple of our city q
few days ago, it inspires one with a
new vigor and makes Us feel that we
had not lived in vain. Pleasant sur
prises sometimes come to us in the
journey Of life, which, like the sum
shine brighten our pathway. It was
while this aged couple were celebrat-
ing their golden wedding, and were
quietly feasting on . box Of inviting
caromels that had been presented to
them by kind friend, that they dis.
coved as they neared the bottom of
the receptical, to their great surprise,
a golden eagle The CAPITAL ex-
tends its congratulations to this aged
couple. and wishes them sunshine
and flowers the remainder of their
journey through life, and at last when
the sere and yellow leaf shall come to
them, may they look back upon a life
we'll spent. and receive q crown in
heaven.

Since the appointment of Captain
Virgil Franklin commander of the
oyster sloop Mamie Merryman," by
the Board of Public Works some
weeks ago, quite dissatisfaction has
grown out of the appointment by the
opposition, which eliminated few
days ago in an assault being made
upon the Captain and bis crew. The
sloop was assigned to the waters of
the eighth district aud those border
ing on to Calvert county, where Sue
has been doing duty. About week
or ten days ago, party of men who
were opposed to the Captains ap-
pointment, determined, as they had
stated, TO make it hot for him. y
Carrying their threats into execution
they proceeded one night to Captain
Franklin's house in the eighth dis
trict. Not finding him at his home,
they then boarded the sloop lying at
anchor in the stream. The object of
their pursuit still being non est, they
pitched into the crew, and endeavor-
ed to take satisfaction out of them,
when general battle took place,
some of the parties being roughly
handled. They swore vengeance
against the Captain and crew, and
threatened to burn the sloop. The
affair was reported to a magistrate of
this city who issued warrants for
their arrest and placed them in the
hands of the Sheriff. The affair has
been kept very quiet for obvious rea-
sons, but will be brought to the at
tention of the grand jury now in ses-
sion, for their investigation.

A Novel Legal Decision.

The Supreme Court of Illinois has set aside a
verdict of $4,000 in favor Of W. ]. Connell of
Omaha. Mr.. Connell bought ticket to New
York via the Wabash, Baltimore & Ohio and
Pennsylvania, and was put off at Philadelphia
because the Pennsylvania, on account of a rail
road war, had just issued orders refusing to re-
ceive passengers from the Baltimore & Ohio
The passengers right to be carried was unques-
TONED, but the court holds that he had no right
to maintain his position The court says: 1T
was his duty when notified by the conductor
that he would not receive his ticket to pay his
fare under protest, or leave the train and hold
the company responsible for the expulsion, with
out compelling the conductor to resort to force;
but he could not recover for the force used by
the conductor, which, by his own act, he induced
the conductor to resort to in order to put him
off the train" In other words, the man who in
sists on his right INDUCES" the conductor to do

Nearly all the railways in the Southern States

Ihe percentage OF increase shown by twenty of

The recent assignment of Commodore Cornelius
K. Garrison, of New York, has somewhat damp

The American Law Register says that if bond
holders wish to question the power Of court to
make receivers certificate prior lien to their
bonds, they must do SO before the certificates

late for bondholders to raise any such question
after the issue and sale.
The railroad system of this country is not
alone in finding the past year one of diminishing
traffic and profits. English, French and Ger
man railroads show for the opening months of
1884 decreasing traffic on enlarged mileage, and
In the ease of Austria this amounts to nearly 4
per cent The only railroads making more
money this year than last are in South America,
and even there signs appear that the period of
expansions is about over.
