Indgeship Talk.

The Hen. Frederick Stone, of Charles
county, snd ex-Chief Judge of the Seventh
Judicial Circuit aud late member OF the
Court of Appeals, has been visiting friends in
the city and returned to his home last evening.
In speaking of the contest in the Seventh Dis
trio, next fall fer the Chief Judgeship, Judge
Stone said that there was no doubt now bat
that Col. L. Allison Wilmer, the present
States Attorney of Charles county, would be
the Republican nominee. The Judge spoke
in complimentary terms Of Col. Wilmer, and
seemed sanguine Of his election. Chief Judge
Rriscoe. the present incumbent, Judge Stone
said, would most undoubtedly be the Demo-
cratic nominee. Judge 3riscoe's career on
the bench has been short but be has made an
excellent Judge and i1 very popular through
ont the district. The contest between the two
gentlemen is expected to be quite lively

than 10000 of them had gathered about
the city. Every road leading 10 the
city was filled with wagons, buggies
and horsemen. At that hour the pro.
cession was formed and it moved
through the main street of the city to
the fair grounds, where an immense
dinner was awaiting the participants.
The attraction during the afternoon
was speech by Congressman Jerry

on account of the joint debate between
Senator PETER and j. Ralph Burton,

equally divided between Alliance and

ors Entirely Unproveked.
New YoRK, Oct. 9s.--Ths Herald,
Valparaiso dispatch says the condition
OF two Of the six sailors from the balti
more, who were wounded in the COW,
ardly attack by the Chilian sailors and
rabble last week, is now considered crit.
lcal. The inquiry so far as made dis.
closes the fact that gross cruelty was
practiced upon the Americans and that
the murderous assault was entirely un.
provoked. 1t is believed that the attack
was planned. It is alleged that Mate
hegan was shot by policeman. 1t has
also come 70 light that in no case was
one OF the Americans armed and the
valiant fght they made against force
greatly superior With only natures
weapons is highly commended. In ins.
tice to the Chi1ians it must be said that
information has been received that a
few of their army and naval officers and
seamen displayed bravery in trying to
shield the Baltimore's men from the
fury OF the mob. Captain Schley ad.
vises the coming here of the admiral to
aid by his presence in seeing full Justice
