Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1888-01-05

The farmers in this vicinity are busy
hauling their grain for shipment. and 1t
has been necessary for the steamer Pentz
to remain at the wharf much longer, dur
ing the past three weeks, that 1t was for
merly, in order 10 take on all the freight
The roads are in fearful condition; in
fact they are almost impossible between
here and Cox's Hill. 1t is strange that the
farmers, especially those who have so
much hauling to do. do not take some
steps towards having shells put on the
roads; but, alas, for poor Anne Arundel,
despite her A. & B. 5. l.. and ner long
talked OF Drum Point, she is yet lacking
in that most enyiable characteristic-en-
ergy, and is as far as ever behind the
times Sad to relate, there are still those
in our midst who rather prefer Flooding
through miserable muddy roads, to trav-
cling over shelled ones, simply because
the obtaining of the latter benefit would
occasion them some little trouble and in
convenience, and because the former
mode of travel is the one 10 which they
are accustomed. and the one which their
ancestors used; hence IL is good enough
for theml

The CHARITY BALL.
A Brilliant and LargCIy.AttendCd
Social Event,
INCIDENTS OF THE EVENING,
Jcdge Waxem Central ana Con-
spicuous Figure IN the En-
tcrtainment.

The Charity Ball last night far exceeded
the most sanguine and enthusiastic Of its
promoters. The events which caused the
withdrawal of tho Diplomatic Corps,
many members of which have worked
assiduously towards its success, and the
family Affections which kept other prom
inent families away stimulated their CO.
workerstoa unusual degree, and crowned
their efforts with the brilliant success of
last evening. The Rifles hall was gaily
decorated, the beautiful toilets displayed,
the distinguished company, and the air Of
general enjoyment which reigned, made
the ball memorable event.
The accompanying pictures were
sketched byTHE CRITIC artist last evening
by his new instantaneous process, and are
true to nature.

The Washington heirs of the late Col

estate, Notwithstanding the fact that an
alleged will has been produced bya firm
of attorneys in sherman, Texas, beqneath-
ing the property TO others than the Wash

the heirs here, thinks the Will is a bogus

to large extent by the conspicuous pres

fervor and empressement, dashed enthusi-
astically into the swim and scattered his
