The trial of the charges preferred
by Captain Griffith, of the oyster po-
lice steamer Gov. p. T. Thomas,
against Captains Howard and Con-
way, of the sloops John A. Shinn
and Emma Welsh, for employing yes
sells of more than ten tons burthen by
custom. house measurement in dredg-
ing for oysters in the Choptank river,
mention of which was made in the
CAPITAL last evening, was continued
by Justice Hooper, of Cambridge,
until Friday, the 10Th inst. The
vessels will be allowed to prosecute
their business until that time. 1t is
claimed that there are from twenty
five to fifty licensed vessels Of over
tonnage engaged in taking oysters in
the Choptank river at the present
time. The licenses have been OBJ
tanned from the clerks of Dorchester
and Talbot counties after due pres
entation of the custom house license
showing a less tonnage.
Capt. +. l.. Griffith, of the steamer
Thomas, reports there is no use to
make arrests of vessels with larger
tonnage than their licences indicate,
since no conviction can be made, be-
cause their custom house papers de-
clare their tonnage. 1t is claimed the
measurements are wrong, and Com
mander Waddell has written to col
lector Webster, Of BALTIC, for the mea-
surement of dredging vessels.

A bright fire was kindled by some
boys on Market street, late last even

the light at distance, to believe it to

to be given when ii was discovered
to be nothing more than bonfire On

chievous boys in the neighbOrhood.

Yesterday morning a woman be-
longing to Baltimore who was just
discharged from the House Of Correc-
tion and was awaiting the arrival OF
an east bound train to take her home
was run over by west bound ex-
press. She was struck by the COW
catcher and instantly killed Her
body was taken to Baltimore. There
seems to be something wrong in this
matter. This women who was aged
and OF weak mind should not have
been left By the authorities to 60 to the
railroad station alone and get home
as best she could. Some one of the
guards should have been with her
and seen her safely on the train-in-
deed, every discharged prisoner
should be thus attended, for as rule
they are unfit to look after them
selves.
Mr.. Joseph War6eld lost another

A band Of Gypsies, encamped at
South River Grove near this city,
paid visit to our city yesterday, at
tracing considerable attention, and
spreading CONSERVATION among the
children on the streets. They were
rough and uncooth-looking set of
people, carrying with them some
package or basket containing some
trihing articles for sale. The usual
following of children were also along
with them.

The latest society departure is
what is called the twilight party" at
which there is no light except that
emanating from the friendly CRATE or
fire place. The company all gather
around and each one tells his littlo
story, or sings his little song, and
and--they all eat apples and nuts.
There are great possibilities in this
twilight party" and we predict for
it immense success.

Suicide Of Commander !. Dana Greene

Suicide OF Commander Ss Dana Greene
The suicide of Commander s. Dana
Greene naturally created a sensation
here where he spent so many years
of his life Some of those who talked
of the matter, expressed the opinion
that other causes than literary fail
ure led to the seIf-murder. Comman-
der Greene was born February 18th,
1910, at Cumberland, Nd, and was
appointed midshipman from Rhode
Island, September, 21st, 1866.
He served at the Naval Academy
from 1878 to 1882 as superintendent
of grounds. Commander Greene has
a son, S. Dana Greene, Jr., a cadet
midshipman, who entered the Acad-
emy in 1875 at the age Of Ia years,
and took the first year the position Of
No. in his class, and remained so
every year and graduated that num-
Der in 1888.

Meeting FOR q Bazaar.

A meeting was called yesterday af-
ternoon at the Assembly Rooms for
the ladies Of Annapolis who were will
ing to assist in bazaar to be held for
the benefit Of our fire department, but
owing to the inclement condition of
the weather, many no doubt were
prevented from attending, and no &C
tion, we learn, Of definite character
was taken at the meeting, and it is
likely another will be called shortly
to perfect the arrangements. We
hope our citizens will not loose inter-
est in this matter because we have
secured the long sought prize-the
steam FIRE engine-but will encourage
the organization by their efforts in
perfecting it as far as possible, until
we shall have q FIRE department that
will be q credit and pride to our
city. This can be done by 8 united
effort on tbe part Of our citizens.
