Cry OF Murder.

Murder ~ rang out on the breezy
air at half past eleven last night in
the neighborhood of the Annapolis
Machine Shops. All the vicinity res
ponded. The cry came from the
house of George Price, colored, of
West street, and whilst the citizens
gathered outside, the sounds of war
of words increased inside. For
half hour the confusion continued,
when an officer of the law who lives
in that section was awakened by the
noise, and hurrying to the scene ar
rested George Price and his son Lewis.
Hy. Taylor and VIM. II. Taylor, the
latter, q son-in-law of George Prices,
and Julia and Harriet Price, George
Price, daughters. The parties were
taken to Justice Gassaway's who
lives in the neighborhood and who
had been awakened by the difficulty.
1t was an interesting spectacle to see
the Justice at the solemn hour of mid
night dispensing from the parlor win
dow ofhis residence, law to the dusky
crowd on the pavement below, mar
shalled in awed array under baton of
authority. They were allowed to de-
part, under their own recognizances
to their little beds, to answer at five
O'Clock this evening charges of riotons
conduct and two in addition for draw
ing deadly weapons. The whole af-
fair originated because one of the men
desired the light put out During
the melee George Price and Lewis,
his son, drew pistols on each other.

A Hot Day.

Yesterday was in keeping with the
several preceding days for heat-the
thermometer going up into the nine
ties. There was quite falling off in
the attendance upon the church ser
vices, both morning and evening, in
consequence of the intense heat many
persons prefering to seek the cool
shade of the groves, State House
Hill and other places where the most
comfort could be found. There was
also falling off in the Sabbath Schools
the children following the example,
no doubt, of the older ones, and going
to the groves and shady retreats
about town. Many also went to
Bay Ridge, both by small boats and
in vehicles, and the streets about the
middle of the day were deserted-not
a person could be seen.

Interesting Discourse.

Rev. Father Wisscl preached a
very interesting discourse at High
Mass, on yesterday, at st. Mary's
Catholic Church in this city, on the
devotion to the Miraculous Picture
of Our Lady of Perpetual Help" He
entered into a succinct history of its
origin and the many miracles that
have been, and are still being,
wrought through the pious devotion
paid to it by the faithful. He said it
was thirty one years ago since the
first Redemptorist Priest came to An
napolis, and since that time the Cath
Ollie Church here has been continuous
ly educating young men for the Priest
hood and sending them throughout
the United States, Canada and even
to Newfoundland to preach the Cos
pei and instruct the people in the
ways of religion and good morals !,
that the feelings of anti catholicism
that once existed here, is fast dying
out, and he predicted that it will not
be very long time before there will
be built in this city another Catholic
Church. A fac simile of the original
Miraculous Picture" is at present ap-
pendant near the Altar dedicated to
the Mother of the Saviour on the right
as you enter the church.

Trouble at Bay Ridge.

1t would seem that legal war is
brewing between the present lessee
of Bay Ridge and the COLCHESTER
Company, which own Summer
Excursion Resort on the Chester
river, near Baltimore. Mr.. Durham,
the present popular lessee of Bay
Ridge, claims to have rented the
wharf property in connection with
that resort, but the Colchester Com
pauy also claims a contract of lease
for the wharf-and, so claiming, have
resorted to measures to prevent all
excursion steamers from Baltimore
from landing at said wharf This is
done, it is said, so as to keep excur-
sion parties from Baltimore from
patronizing Bay Ridge instead of
Colchester Beech. The services of
the Sheriff of this county were called
into requisition on yesterday by Mr..
Durham to prevent the other party
from interfering with the excursion
steamers landing at Bay Ridge Wharf.

the City Commissioner to have An

Decorate Your Houses.

In conjunction with the suggestions
heretofore proposed through the col
umns of the CAPITAL, in reference to
the celebration of the coming Fourth
OF July, the further suggestions have
been made to us to say that it would
be a good idea if the citizens of An
napolis would, on that occasion, deco
rate their residences with flags and
evergreens. Also, that in the after
noon of that day our militia and fire
companies coniointly give a public
parade accompanied by the Annapolis
Cornet Band And to make the cele-
bration of the day a success that the
City Council, which meets to-mor-
row night, make small appropriation
for display of fireworks at night
from Spa bridge.

The Wheat Crop.

We are glad to learn from our far
mers in the wheat growing districts
of this county, that the prospects for
good crop of wheat never were
much better. This appears to be the
report all over the State where wheat
is grown, and the same cheerful in
telIigence comes from the far West
where spring wheat is almost exclu-
sively grown. Throughout the South,
the prospect is also represented as
being fattering wherever wheat is
grown.

Editor Of the Ecening Capital:
In your issue of the 10th instant, in
speaking of Hon. Hart B. Holton, our
Representatives in Congress, you said
"he would not be reelected because
he did not secure an appropriation
for our Harbor" Mr.. Holton did
all he could with the Committee on
Rivers and Harbors, in behalf of an
appropriation for the Annapolis Har-
Dor, but they refused to entertain the
proposition, as they said "in the in
terest of economy" and not only re-
fused Mr.. Holton's appeals but all ap-
preparations for small rivers in the
United States. In reference to our
new Postofice Building, Mr.. Holton
got the Committee of Public Build
ings, (of which he is a member) to
unanimously vote for the appropriation
of 100000 for said building, and as
soon as the bill is reported, it will be
passed by the House. Now Mr..
Editor, as you have been misinformed
as to the course of Mr.. HoIton. allow
me in his behalf to say that he has
done everything in bis power to in
crease and improve the condition of
our district. X. .G.J.
In reference to the above matter
we would state that the CAPITAL has
no disposition to criticise Mr.. Holton
any more than any other public mans
official acts Our criticism above re-
ferred to was founded upon facts
taken from the Congressional Record,
and we think every public man
should be able to stand or fall by his
public record. IF we did Mr.. HoItOn
an injustice by the publication of the
facts referred to, it was not our inten-
tion to do so--we merely gave the
facts as we found ,them.-ED.

Who Has Done IL =?

The Republican party has controlled
the National administration for twenty
four years, and are responsible in every
way for the present condition of affairs.
A Republican Congress has enacted all
the laws, and a Republican President
executed them. 1t is, therefore, re-
sponsible. Let the workingmen, there.
fore, survey the field and ask them
selves whether or not it has been satis-
factory in its results.
Has it brought prosperity?
Has labor found regular employ.
ment?
Has it commanded remunerative
wages?
Are not mills, and furnaces and fac.
tories closed
Are not thousands of workmen un.
employed?
Are not those who have work taxed
to defend their fellow-workmen against
the oppression of their employers?
Are not wages in many industries re-
duced to the barcst pittance?
Are not constant efforts still being
made to further reduce them?
Has not the zeal and watchfulnesS
of the Republican administration been
directed to the enrichment of the cor
porations and millionaires?
Has not James G. Blaine been the
foremost actor in those schemes by
which the few have been benefited
at the expense of the many?
A candid answer to these questions
will demonstrate how much folly there
is in any workingman looking to the
election of Blaine for relief from his
present troubles.

Principles and Men.
New York World Sept. !2d.l


Are the Bayards, Randalls, Thurmans,
Tildens, Hoadlys, Seymours and Hol-
mans not preferable to the Buffers, Bill
Chambers, Keilers, Dorseys, Elkinses,
Claytons and Robesons? Would it not
still be desirable to drive out the rascals
who now hold power only by fraud and
theft in 1876 and confessed "soap" in
1880? Would it not still be patriotic
duty to establish by his election the
right of the people to inaugurate the
President of their choice? Would it
not still be essential to maintain the
integrity of Popular government and to
rebuke the attempt of an unscrupulOus
party to perpetuate its ascendency by
the power of monopolies, patronage
and of money?
The question of vital importance to
the nation is whether real Republican
government shall be vindicated and
sustained? Or shall it be practically
overthrOwn by the subyersion of the
will of the people through fraud, cor
ruption and perhaps violence?
If Gov. Cleveland, instead of being
an able lawyer, a capable, vigorous EX-
ecutive and a man of unassailable, fear
less honesty, were really "a coarse per-
son, unworthy Of confidence" it would
still be wiser and better to elect him
President than to give another four
years of corrupt power to the mercenary
Republican party, represented by its
most dishonest and degraded elements
The people are voting now for Prin-
ciples, as well as men.

Hard Times.
From the San Francisco Examiner

There are thousands of workingmen
in the United States out of employ
ment. These include 10000 miners
from the coal fields of Ohio and Penn
sylvania, 5000 miners i'm West Virginia
5000 workers from the blown-out iron
furnaces, and the 10000 operatives
from the cotton-mills of Rhode Island
and Massachusetts. These unemployed
workingmen represent, through their
families, 100000 people who are bread
less. Can country be called prosper
Gus with such curse as this upon it :?
Its millionaires may roll in wealth, but
its ill-paid working people are becom-
ing paupers.
In addition to these, as will be seen
by our dispatches, the President of the
Trades Assembly at Cincinnati declares
that in that city alone nearly 5000
members of the union are idle. OF
900 painters $50 are unemployed. OF
l 900 cigar makers | 200 are idle. OF
5000 carriage makers 5000 cannot OBJ
tain employment. Of 300 varnishers
$50 are idle. A large proportion of
printers, cabinet makers, shoemakers
and tanners are also vainly seeking for

of skilled trades. This for Union men.
More non-Union men are idle in pro-
portion to their number than Union
men. A Pittsburg special also says
that the industrial outlook in that city
is most discouraging, nearly all the
river miners are on a strike, and the
railroad miners threaten to join them
unless wages are raised. Nearly all the
glass workers are idle or are only en-
ployed part of the time. The iron
trade is stagnant, and some Of the larg-
est works propose shutting down in a
week or two unless fresh orders come
in. There are 5000 empty houses in
Pittsburg formerly occupied by labor.

complete edition of the popular text
book ever gotten out, as It's new feat
ures are of decidedly valuable char
acter One of these is a showing of
counties, with calculation of results,
embracing the different elections from
and including that of 1872 to and in
cluding that of 1888. The gains,
losses and per cents of the two great
parties are closely and most intelligent
ly worked out, while the general sum-
mary is as clear statement of facts as
can be presented in black and white
Another most important showing is
that of Hoadley and Foraker's vote
brought into direct comparison with
other gubernatorlal elections, with
comparisons Of the fullest nature.
There are also comparative tables, show.

Prohibition amendment, and the vote
of both parties by counties each year

are full comparative tables on Prasi.
dental elections, lS76-lSSo; Con.
gressIonal, lSS0-lSS2, with the dis
tricts as made by the legislative act of

nection is shown to the effect that, had
the districts been as now in 1880, the
Republican representation would have
been IL instead of Is, as it was, and

1882 the Republican members would

Blaine After his Marriage.

Blaine claims one secret marriage In
Kentucky in June, 1850. and one in
PENNSYLVANIA in March, 1851. One and
one make two. But when did he do
the wife the honor of acknowledging
her to the world? We copy here per-
sohal letter, without naming the writer,
received last night by the editor of the
Sentinel from Kentuckian of high
standing who knows Blaine well and
has no ill-will against him:
LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 20.
DEAR SIR-I have read Blaine's let
ter to Phelps. do not believe his
statement of a secret marriage. He left
brennan Springs in December, 1851.
After the session closed for vacation in
June of that year he remained at Dren-
nan Springs through the watering sea-
son, and passed himself off as a single
man; at least no one knew he was mar
ried. / understood at the time, and
have heard it reliably stated often since,
that during the summer of 1851 he
courted at least one and, possibly, two
ladies. This conduct of his can be easi-
ly proven. In March of 1851 he was
absent at Pittsburg, but returned and
after that taught until December.
In Texas, one Mr.. Randall, friend Of
Blaine, has recently been talking to the
press in Blaine's behalf. The following
is from an interview with him by the
Galveston Ne,Us:
ave all,n said Mr.. Randall, "looked
upon Major Blaine as a high-toned,
honorable and refined gentleman. They
have it down wrong" said he, "about
his being married in 1851. He was a
single man during the entire time OF
my stay in the institute. l entered il
April 6, 1851, and left in February, 1852
He could not have been married man
during this time, because it was COM
monty understood differently by every
body connected with the school.
II saw him constantly, and was in a
position to know that he could not have
been married."
Why was Blaine absent from his wife
during the vacation and watering season
at brennan Springs, and why was he
passing himself off as unmarried:
What will good wives say of this?
