sweeping statements. One afternoon not long

was upon his face the rapt expression that was
peculiar to him when greatly impressed, and
later on tine cause was asked. In his sweet,
quiet way he told how be had entered a crowded
horsecar that afternoon, and as he did so and

The United States MarshalshiD.

President Cleveland has evidently not
made up his mind to appoint Mr.. Fenton, OF
Baltimore, to the United States Marshalship,
nor Mr.. Talbot to be District Attorney, al
though both are strongly urged by the Mary
land delegation in Congress. The President
told the delegation, on Wednesday, that he
had received more protests from Democrats
in Understanding against Mr.. Fenton than
against any other man in Maryland who had
been pressed for office. He minated that
he would like to appoint Col Franklin, OF
Baltimore county, but the delegation pro-
tested vigorously against this. The Presi-
dent said further that Tiers were other gen.
tlemen who had been mentioned for these
two positions who seemed to excite far less
criticism than Messrs, Talbot and Fenton,
and he would like TO know why some OF
them would not do. They would do, Mr..
President. Appoint TO the marshalship Mr..
w Smithson Forwood, of Hartford county.
He has the support of our State Senator and
delegates to the Legislature, of county Off

sentative Democrats in other counties of the

Hartford county for two years, performed his
duties well and faithfully and would make a
most efficient officer.

The Retiring collector.


Col. Edwin II. Webster, who yesterday gave
up the Office OF collector of this port, retires
from public life with the comforting reflection
that he hes done his duty to the letter and won
the respect, esteem and regard of all with whom
he was brought in contact 1t is doubtful
whether there is in the government service a
more faithful and efficient officer than Colonel
Webster showed himself to be. Aside from his
merits as an official, Col. Websters affability
and sincerity have made him hosts of warm
friends, who will regret his removal from this
city. Mr.. Groome, his successor, says in let
ter recently published that he will be justly
proud if when he comes to yield up the office he
can feel that he has administered it with as
much efficiency and satisfaction to the public
