baltimore SUM-
The Light-street steamboat-men and
cOmmission-dealers were interested yester-
day in a real live romance. When the
steamer Kent arrived at her wharf She bad
among her passengers Mr. William j..
Diggs and Miss Alice A. lIudgins, from
Fitchett's Wharf. Mathews county, Va.
They remained on board the steamer after
the other passengors had departed, and
eopeared so mysterious in their actions
that the suspicious of the commission
merchants were Immediately aroused.
After hesitating for long while as
to what course to take, the stranger
finally summoned up courage TO tell
one of the merchants that this was
his first visit TO city. and that he
had come here to cot married. The
lady who accompanied him, he said,
was 10 become his bride, and they had run
away from home. As the stranger wanted
advice as 20 the intricacios OF tho Mary
land marriage-laws. he was referred to
Mr.. Charles II. Hudglns. well-known
commission merchant, who, his fellow
merchants said, was an authority on sucn
matters Mr.. Hudgins was found, and ne
entered into the spirit of the occasion with
a great deal of vim. Tho young couple
started out in search of Clerk Gray's office,
whero a marriage-llcensc WAS obtained,
after which they were directed TO the resi-
dence of the Rev. W. 4. Stricken, pastor
Of Wesley chapel, Methodist Episcopal
Church. who promptly united them. That
settled it. They Tere the 5 haRPtes ste couple WPbo
knew it. when they returned 20 the
steamboat wharf they were heartily con,
oratulated, after which they promenaded
mn and down the boat in the most aHec-
Tomato manner imaginable, and then sat
down and became so afiectionate that
every man in the wharf enyied the groom.
They went back home in the evening on
the Kent.

AUGUSTA, GA. February l9.-The taking
Of testimony before United States Com
missioner Alexander in the case against the
citizens of Sharon, Ga. charged with con-
spiracy against and the intimidation OF
postmaster Duckworth, was concluded to-
dav. All the material facts have been pub
lished. The record will probably establish
a technical case against the accused; but
in view Of the fact that no personal yio-
lence was done Postmaster Duckworth,
and that he has been unmolested In the
discharge of the duties of his office, IT -
thought that the case may be discussed at
the April term of the United States Court
to be held in Auousta.
