quarrel About . Place.

About four o'clock Tuesday after,
noon two farmers, one of whom is said
to be from Pennsylvania and the
other from Mary land, had an exciting
time at Fourth and King streets about
Ia place which each claimed he was
entitled to, to back his wagon in. AS
fast as one would back up TO the curb,
the other would pull his wagon out, and
it IL probable that the dispute would
have ended in fight, had not the
Clerk Of the Market came along and
settled the matter by deciding that the
Pennsylvania man should occupy the
place on Wednesdays, and the Mary
land man on Saturdays. 1t is said
that the man from Pennsylvania has
occupied the place in dispute for some
time, and that the Marylander is a new

| LONDON, Aug 20 Mr.. Clements r..
Markham, the Secretary Of the Roy al
GeograpE ical Society, who served In
the Artic expedition OF il $50 In search Of
Sir Johu Frank lin, has written q letter
apropos Of the Greedy party. In 1t he
says:
The accusati of murder and can :
ntbalism made against the Greedy party
Ia a disgrace to Amer ican journals.
Decency would have suggested silence
until Lieutenant Greedy had submitted
his report TO the Government
There may be remnan, of truth in
the charge. 1t Is possible, but unlikely,
that brave men in the last extremity
should have succumbed. Mr.. Mark.
ham draws attention to the fact that
similar cruel accusation was made
against Sir John Frapklin's expedi-
ion, and quotes the noble words OF
Admiral Sherard Osborne, who COM
manded on the Franklin search expedi.
tiOns Why attempt to lift the veil
with which the All. Merciful has been
pleased to shut out from mortal ken the
last sad hours Of brave men battling
with famine and disease?'
MIR. Markham continuing, says: "Tbe

they reached was Beaumont Island,

MIR. Markham thinks that the high.
est latitude reached by the party was
$50 3D.. He appiauds the adm irable
zeal and devotion displayed by Messrs.
Lockwood and Brainard, and says: "Tg-
norauce will use the disaster, which
overlook the Greedy party TO discourage
future research, but education will
defeat ignorance, and polar research
will continue until the work has been
