WIDOW ,e.crxrrss PIG.

The fhct should mot Be Overlooked
that Senator Hals's committee to inves-
tigats the operation OF the civil service
law hes discovered . new. thing m poll
tics. It IL known a aWidow Mc0m-
Miss Pig" and it was brought to light
or rather, made to equeal-in the course
Of certain testimony regarding the col
lection Of funds to carry on the lase
democratic campaign in New York. This
interesting quadruped did not roam
about in an alley, nor languish In an
ordinary sty; it had nice, healthy quar-
ters IN Parkinson's saloon on Broadway,
adjoining the democratic headquarters.
Nobody was permitted to see it; but as
surance was given that it was there, that
the widow wished to realize upon 1t, and
that it would soon be disposed OF IN q
raffis. Singularly enough, the tickets
were offered for the most part to nobody
but federal officials. and they were ac-
companied in each case by q verbal
guarantee that those making purchases
would not be disturbed in their posi-
tions. OF course each official took q
ticket; it cost him only $40, and the pig
was represented to be sleek, fat animal,
and Widow McGinniss was vouched for
as most deserving Irish lady with 9
large family of children. The total
amount realized was never definitely an
.nounced; but it was known to be far
more than was ever before invested In q
single pig and the ticket holders all re-
tanned their ofices.-Globe-D Democrat.
The pig is to be ratified for whenever
the democratic barrel needs replenishing.
It is as difficult to dispose Of as the
striped pig of Van Buren's time aad evil
IDENTIFY belongs to the same breed.

THE BATTLE WITH THE DREDG-
Frs.
Swami Point Bar Still Besieeed


The Baltimore Sun of this morning
gives the following account Cf the battle
between oyster dredgers and the State
police boats on Swami Point bar: Pas
sengers on the steamer Gratitude, which
returned to Baltimore yesterday after
noon from Chester river, report that the
war between the dredgers and the State
oyster police sloop Mary Compton. of
Swami Point bar, was still in progress
when the Gratitude passed by. The fir
ing on both sides was fast and furious.
and was first noticed when the Gratitude
arrive at Rock Hall wharf 10 the morn
ing about 10 o'clock. The wharf is near
the scene of the battle, aud the crack OF
the rifles and the booming OF the police
sloops cannon could be plainly heard.
As the steamer passed. off the. bar over
three hundred vessels could be seen
dredging. The sloop Mary Compton.
with her crew of six men, was sailing up
to the feet OF violators and discharging
her cannon and rifles, and then keeping
off until the guns were again loaded, af
ter which she would wheel into tho Iine
again and renew the firing. When the
sloop would start for the dredgers she
would be received by volley from guns
OF all description. The firing continued
as long as the Gratitude was in hearing
distance. A resident Of Rock Hall said
the sloop is incapable OF protecting the
bar, which is the ground set apart for
the tongers, and if the State does not
keep steamer there the ground will be
of no use to the tongers, who should have
the benefit of the oysters. The dredgers
during this present week drove the ton
gers from the bar Captain Edward
Sewell, while at work on the grounds,
was shot at, the bullet striking the cul-
ling board In his canoe. A number OF
persons have been compelled to quit
work on account OF the dredgsrs, as they
bad rather submit than offer resistance to
a set of men who, 1t is charged, will resort
TO any means of gaining an end. The
people OF Rock Hall and its vicinity once
procured cannon and placed il on the
point in order the protect the bar. 1t viii
be remembered that last winter the
dredgers actually went ashore and car
red the gun away. The dredgers work
on Sunday just the same as any other
day, and at night as we'll as during the
day The oyster police steamer McLane
arrived in Baltimore yesterday evening
and left at 10 O'Clock at night for Swami
Point.
