ARREST OF DESPERATE CHARACTER.
officers Assaulted by the demonstrating
Up of a worthless Gang.

For sometime past the business men and
families on Main and Court street and Oh
Green street have been subjected to the indie
cent talk, conduct and boisterous proceedings
of a gang of young colored men and women.
In many instances the language has been of
the most outrageous character. Ladies and
children could not sit at their windows or on
their porticos without having their sensibili-
ties shocked.
a. fair or festival opened on Saturday night,
on Charles street, and was attended by some
of these dsreputable characters. On their
return home the air was filled with the most
blasphemous and licentious language. On
Monday two citizens made complaint before
the city authorities, and the mayor informed the
bailiff and Deputy Sheriff Tyler to be on the
alert that night Shortly after II o clock, the
crowd began to leave the festival andin return
ing to Main street started the same unseemly
conduct that had been indnlged in on Saturday
night. The officers arrested Wm. Cox, Louis
Wilson, Tom Bixler, Martha MaCormic, Jane
Dorsey, Mary Franklin and Eva Chase, for
being disorderly, etc. The prisoners were
taken to Justice Moore's office. In short
time Cox became very boisterous and unruly.
The officers requested him to be quiet, but the
more persuasion used the worse he BECAME,
and finally Cox seized chair and assaulted
DtDulJ JiCiI va eIS hSSe
and oosening several front teeth. Several
persons present seized the infatuated man, but
he was like giant in strength and would not
be subdued. Finally billy was used with
good effect by Mr.. Tyler, who knocked him
down and he was then handcuffed, but not
before he had bitten an arm Of Bailiff Kline
dinst very severely, One or two of the pris
oners paid their fines and were released,
Wilson asked for further hearing and the
others were sent to Jail in default Of payment
of fines At the hearing of Wilson, from the
testimony of one of the witnesses warrants
we're issued for some fifteen others who were
disorderly at tAp party on both nights:
VIM. Cox is NO strapger tG the jail, he hav-
ing been sent there several times for fighting
and disorderly conduct, and has also been
to the Hopse of Correction. On Tuesday
afternoon the grand jury brought in three
presentments against him and it is hoped that
he will receive adequate punishment.
Our city authorities are in earnest, and they
intend to dispense oil disorderly gatherings;
also the assembling of crowds Of men and
women on the streets at night. The authori-
ties will be sustained by the citizens in their
efforts to preserve the peace.
On Wednesday warrants were issued by
JUSTICE Moore for Is others, who were charged
with disorderly conduct at the same time.
All plead guilty and paid their fines, except
one who proved an abb.

In his charge to the grand jury Judge Smith
urged the investigation of violation
of the license and gambling laws. He said
that it is matter of public notoriety that, not
only in Westminster, but in other parts of the
county, men who are licensed to sell liquor
violate the law by selling to minors and sell
ling on Sunday; that it is unfair that these
men should go unpunished unfair to reputa-
Bile dealers who observe the law; unfair tothe
community, the peace of which is disturbed;
unfair to the young men to whom intoxicat
ing liquors are sold and that the interests of
the community demand that the present grand
jury give especial attention to the matter: He
also called attention to the law in regard to
defaulters and abortion.
The several dockets were called, after
which court adjourned.
There are 1888 trials, Sc appeals and SO
