Baltimore Md, June 9th, 1886.
There is considerable speculation
here in regard to the cause of the
alarming frequency of lynchlng
parties in the state of Maryland.
Scarcely a month passes that a re-
port of a NEGRO lynched" is not
heralded abroad. The Gathers
burg affair about which several in
nocent colored men came near los
ing their lives is fresh in the minds
of all. The dispatches this morn
ing bring reports from Calvert Co.,
of the lynching of a colored man
charged with assaulting a little
girl. There would perhaps not be
so much cause for righteous indig
nation if these self constituted ad-
ministrators of the law would lie
certain that they were hurllng a
guilty party into eternity, but in
majority of cases no sufficient care
is taken to secure the right party,
and an appetite for blood seems
be gratifed if some "Negro brute"
is made to dangle at the end of a
rope. In these cases the one alleg-
ing the assault has only to identify
somebody, and that somebody dies
without ever an opportunity to es-
tablish his innocence. This inhu-
manity is all the more startling
when seen i'm the light of the Gal
thersburg case i'm which the young
lady making the charge said that
il was hard for her to make prop.
or Identification as "aIl Negroes
looked alike"
The National Government, which
Bishop Turner describes as held
together by ga rope of sand," has
acknowledged its impotence, to
protect those from whom it exacts
allegiance; the state governments
make no attempt i'm this direction
and the unprotected man of color
may well cry out i'm the language
of the crucifed. "Why hast thou
fOrSaken me-"
The commencement exercies of
the Centenary Biblical Institute
will be held on Thursday evening
in Asbury church. This is the only
colored institution of the kind in
this city and our citizens take
lively interest in its progress and
welfare. On the same evening the
young ladies Christian Lyceum,
will give an entertainment and
sacred concert at Metropolitan hall.
The "Lincoln Glee club" compos-
ed of students from Lincoln Univer-
Sity gave vocal concert at the
Dolphin st. Presbyterian church
last evening to a large and appre-
ciative audience. All the numbers
were well rendered and the mem
bers of the club show special drill
andcareful preparation to entertain
the public.
The "Blue Tea party at st.
Mary's chapel on Thursday evening
was quite a social event in church
circles. A large and select audi
ence were in attendance. Mr.. Per-
~ the genial Priest in charge of
the chapel introduced Mr.. j. S.
Davis who made few we'll chosen
remarks to the ladies present.
Mrs. Hutchings Bishop, wife OF
the rector of St. Philips church in
New York, is visiting her husbands
relatives in this city. Mr.. Bishop
is an old Baltimore boy, and has
attained his present responsible
position by a determination which
would stop nowhere short of abun-
dant success.
The Sharp street M. Z. church
will run an excursion TO HarpePs

from Boston December 22d. I had crew
OF eighteen men. Everything went we'll
with us until we were struck by hurri-
cane on Saturday. The schooner was dis

When the vessel went over fourteen men
were washed into the sea, and of the four
left one was dashed on the deck and in

ceeded in swimming to the vessel when
She righted, and were saved. The vessel
was SO badly wrenched that water
poured into her through many cracks, and
keep her afloat until our signals of distress
should be sighted. Each member of the
crew was badly bruised, and they carry
marks with them yet in the shape of black
eyes, bruised faces and sprained arms. To
add to our misfortunes, our provisions
were all water soaked and spoiled, and l
do not know what would have become of
us had not our signals been seen by the

An Indiscrect Rishon.

MONTREAL, December 3O.-The manda-
mus of Mgr. Fabre, Roman Catholic bishop
Of Montreal, which was read in all the
churches in the diocese on Sunday, has
caused widespread indignation among the
clergy and their tlocks. The reference by
the. bishop to the Riel agitators in
their attempt to raise revolt
against the authority of the state and
to the political use made of the
church in the celebration of masses for the
dead rebel, has stung the French Canadians
to the very quick, and many of the bish-
ops intimate friends seem to think he has
made mistake, and unless he withdraws,
or at least modifies, some of his statements
he may expect serious defections from
among the CLERGY

PORTLAND, OGN., December 80. The
Oregonian's Seattle special says: A horrible
story was put in circulation here, it was to
the effect that an Italian boatman left Vic
toria one day last summer with seven Chi
namen for the American side of the straits
of Fuca, when almost across he saw the
United States revenue cutter Oliver VOL
cott coming toward him, with the evident
intention of examining his craft.
He became alarmed, and to avoid
the penalties attached to the Of
Tense of smuggling Cinnamon into the
United States resolved to make away with
the evidence of his guilt. He called the
Cinnamon out of the cabin, one by one, and
as they came, he struck them on the head
with club and pitched them overheard.
In this way he got rid of the whole num-
Der, and when boarded by boat from the
cutter no evidence whatever of a criminat-
ing nature was found. An investigation
will be held, with the view of ascertaining
the truth. A recently convicted smuggler
now in the United States penitentiary is
authority for the story.

Comparison of Business Failures.

New YORK, Dec. 31.-R. G. Dun & Co. re-
port that the total number Of failures in
the United States during 1885 were 10,6S7,
with liabilities of little more than S124,-
100000, as compared with 10,968 in 1884,
with liabilities of s226,OOO,OOO. While the
failures for 1885 are only 8 per cent less in
number than those of 1884, the liabilities
have decreased nearly 80 per cent. The
number of traders reported in business in
1885 was 9l9,990; of those one in every
eighty-six failed; in 1878, with $4,000 trad
ers. one in every sixty-four came to grief.
The average amount of each failure Was in
1885 S11, 1918, against $20632 in 1884 and S22,-
1863 in 1878. 1t is seen from these figures
that while business casualties decrease but
slightly, they are less significant in
amount.

language, declares that she is not his wife,
and the "Dear Wife Letters" are forgeries,
and instructS his heirs to continue the legal
fight against this claim to the last resort
On account Of the dover right, which IA
vorable verdict for Miss Hill would have
entitled her to in all the property of MIR. Sha-
ron, all his property in this city has been

erty belonging to this estate, consisting of
unimproved property lying entirely in the

Stewart and Judge Sunderland, members
OF the famous California syndicate.

Governor Zolick Says it is The Settlers, Not
The Indians, He Wants to Protect.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-Governor Zol-
lex, of Arizona, has telegraphed to the sec
retary of the interior, calling attention to
an erroneous impression, that the purpose
for which troops have recently been order
ed from San Francisco to Arizona is mere
ly to protect the Indians from threatened
attacks OF the white element. Governor
Zolick says his appeal to the government for
troops was for the protection of the lives
and property of Arizonians from the at
tacks of numbering and thieving renegade
Apaches. "No people on EARTH" he adds,
shave exhibited a higher sense of law
abiding qualities than the Arizonians
have shown under their terrible afflction
OF the past eight months.' He remarks
that his proclamation last week warning
all evil disposed persons that the powers
Of the federal and territorial government
would be used to preserve the rights of all
persons within the borders of Arizona was
directed against the intammatory publica-
tlonS IN the newspapers, and says:
" 1t had its effects for the entire press of
the territory is now arrayed on the side Of
the law and order" He assures the secre-
tary, that he will see that the San Carlos
reservation and the rights of the peaceful
Indians are protected. In conclusion he
asks the secretary for an authoritative state
ment, to dispel the erroneous impression as
to the purpose of his appeal for troops. In
reply Acting Secretary Muldrow today
telegraphed to the governor, that the in
terror department has received no dispatch
from him, suggesting need for troops to
vatiOn and that no action has been taken
by the government to concentrate troops
in that vicinity for the purpose indicated.
Mr. Mudrow added The purpose OF the
government has been, and is, to protect all
persons in Arizona in the peaceful enjoy
ment Of their rights and property; to pun
maintain peace within that territory"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3l.-Adjutant General

was of the opinion that General Crook will
have accomplished the task of subjecting
the hostiles before frontier troops can be
organized. General Crook has large force
of men, and has been supplied with every
thing he desired to carry on the campaign,
and General Drum thought he would soon
be successful in either subjecting or exter-
minating tine hostile Apaches.
