~@Nt-'
was the subject Of the sermon last
night in the Presbyterian Church Of
this city, by Rev. Robert H. Will
liams.
1--WE owe 1t to generations past, I"
said the speaker, to remember their
trials, their efforts and thier successes.
We owe a great debt to God. which
we can recognize better by proper
observance Of the events than we can
in any other way.
The events connected with the rev.
olution ofl776, which transpired here
were both pleasing and iIlustrious.
Many of them are equal to events
Of greater brilliancy which transpired
in other places.
Did the people of Boston resist the
Stamp Act, and resolve that no En-
glish goods should be imported until
that act was repealed?
The people Of Annapolis went down
to yonder dock and forcibly resisted
the landing of the stamp-master, and
when he had landed clandestinely, he
was burned in efigy.
Was there great rejoicing in Boston
over the repeal Of the Stamp Act ?
Annapolis had rejoicings too A
day was appointed by the Mayor, as a
day Of rejoicing and festivity, on ac-
count of the news of the repeal Of the
Stamp Act, and in the evening the
whole city was brilliantly illuminated.
Did the people Of Boston pass reso-
lutions Of non.importation Of English
goods?
When the brig GOOD INTENT came
into the harbor of Annapolis with q
cargo ofgoods from England, the peo
pie came together in town meeting
and appointed committee to inquire
into the matter. That committee re-
ported that these goods were brought
hither contrary to the articles Of their
association, and ought not to be land
ed. In accordance with this report,
the vessel, with its cargo valued at
10000 pds. sterling, was compelled
to return to England.
Did the people Of Boston 20 to the
vessel laden with tea and cast it into
the harbor?
When the Peggy Stewart" laden
with tea and other merchandise came
sailing into Annapolis, 18th Of Oct,
l774. the citizens were summoned to
a general meeting. and with delibera.
tion and determination, the movements
Of the people were directed.
The proprietor ofthe vessel and the
captain made many excuses TOR their
action. The merchants to whom the
goods were consigned acknowledged
that they had committed a most dar.
ing insult" But this did not satisfy
the people. The proprietor at length
agreed to burn the vessel and its con-
tents, and with bis own hand set Gre
to it, and all was consumed.
McMahon says Of this affair "The
tea burning at Boston has acquired
rsnown. as an act Of unexampIed dar-
ing 1t that day in the defence Of Amer
lean liberties, but the tea burning al
Annapolis, which occurred in the en-
suing fall, far surpasses it in the ap-
parent deliberation and utter careless
ness Of concealment attending the
bold measures which led to its accom-
pllAhment.
This opposition to the use Of En-
glish merchandise was shown again
ii July IT'S. when vessel rom
Liverpool with a cargo Of salt and
dry goods ran aground near West
River The committee met to decide
what should be done. It vas pro-
posed 70 let tie essal proceed to Bal.

TnE11ouon QUESTION
Iu the Ohio Legisiature-Posltlon of the
Demoerats.


CoBulBus, Feb. 12.-The Democrats Of
the Legislature breathe easier. They feel
that the liquor question, so far as they are
concerned, is practically disposed Of. In
caucus they have declared in favor Of o L.
cense amendment to the Constitution, and
itthe resolution TO submit such an amend-
ment by any chance Of adoption, they will
say they have done all they could do. The
action Of the caucus does not give general
satisfaction to Democrats. Mr.. Cosgrove,
OF Cincinnati, is among the dissatisfied
ones. He says the Scott law was q good
law for the saloonists as well as tho tax.
payers. He charges that had II not been
for the Democrats OF Cuyahoga county,
whom he characterizes as wooden men,
the Scott law would have been In force to-
day. The loudest howl against the law
came from the Cnyahoga members Of the
Legislature. The party lash WILDE APP
piled to the malcontents, however, and
they will be brought into line. The DEM
ocratic Senators were not invited to the
caucus, but they will doubtless indorse
the action Of the House Democrats.
The saloon keepers were not given what
they asked for, and 1t Is not known how
they will look at the action Of the caucus.
The whisky men wanted this Legislature
to provide for graded license amend
ment. Why they asked this Is apparent.
The maximum license would have been
placed at such a ridiculously low figure,
that it would have been in no sense re-
striction Of the traffic. a straight license,
such as is provided for in the resolution
adopted by the caucus, would give the
Legislature fixing the license unlimited
power. Thus it will be seen, a license can
be made worse forthe saloon keepers than
It Is already prophesied that
the saloonists will vote against this amend
ment and defeat 1t, rather than trust the
next Legislature 10 fix the license which
they shall pay. II they do this they will
have what the Democrats are aiming at-l
free whisky.
A demand will now be made by the
Prohibitionists for the submission Of
amendment, and the Demo-

Ernault Williams Gets Rack Property
Decided to nts Father.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 12.-The Maryland
Court Of Appeals at Annapolis has given
o final opinion in the case OF En-
nauIt H. Williams against his father,
Hon. George H. Williams, in which the
former sought to break a deed Of trust.
The deed conveyed to Ills father all his
property, amounting to $3.50, 900, and made
his father permanent trustee, with power
to appoint his successor. It left Ernault
only 5000 q year, with such an increase
as his father choose to make. The deed
was dated May 81, 1854. The first suit to
break it was brought in the lower court in
Baltimore in 1884, and was decided in IA
vor OF the son. The Court OF Appeals af-
firms this decision, and now Ernault will
come into possession Of his property, which
was left him by his rich grandfather, MIR.
John S. Gittings.
The Court Of Appeals, in its opinion, re-
views the case at, length anil in great de-
tail. The facts are these: Ernault was at
the time OF making the deed, as the Court
said, dissipated young man, leading q
reckless and extravagant life, which made
1t a sin, for him to marry. He had en-.
gagged himself TO ayoung lady Of Balti-
more, Miss Lille Hazlett, and had said
that the wedding was soon to come of.
This alarmed his father. Ernault received
q letter from DIR. Buckler, now dead, who
wrote to him to come TO his office at once,
and warned him that unless lie did so the
facts about his condition would be made
known to the parents OF his intended
bride. Ernault did not go, but became
very much excited, and, while in this
state, made the deed OF trust to his father.
Then, by and with the knowledge OF his
Lather, and feeling afraid that some Of the
Hazletts would shoot him on sight, he ran
out the back way Of his house one night,
went to New York by way Of Harrisburg,
md, In company with cousin, made a
rip to Europe. Soon he wrote to bis father
hat he was coming back. His father
lrRed him to stay in Europe, and said that
t he came back he would be sued for
preach OF promise or shot. The letter
'nded, Come home and be shot"
Enault did come home, but, instead OF
,eing shot, he married Miss Iiazlett and
