The Partisan Fashion Journals

La Mode dc Paris" and "Album DIES
Nodes" so well-known as the publica-
tions giving the choicest Paris styles one
month in advance of all other journals,
appear to be growing just a little too pop
ular The demand for them is growing
so rapidly that the publishers, A. McDo-
we'll 4 Co., 4th street, New York, have
found IL difficult to keep up with the In
crcasing demand eachmonth. They claim
that the American ladies are now buying
their journals TO such an extent that most
of the newsdealers are entirely out of them
by the fifth OF the month. AS all the
plates are made in Paris by the best art
list, the publishers claim that it requires
considerable time to catch up with such
an increased demand. We agree with
our lady friends that these arc superior
journals. We suggest to them TO become
regular subscribers, thus making sure OF
receiving their journal each month, and
securing that valuable book, ''Drcssmak-

OLD MAN RYE,
His Trial to Take Place in Baltimore To-
morrow.

His Trial to Take Place in Baltimore To-
morrow.
John Marshall Rye, who is known in Mary
land as "Old man Rye" former Washing
tonian, is to be tried in Baltimore tomorrow
for the murder of "Jack" Wheeler, a school
teacher near Lower Nanjemoy. Charles county,
Nd, some time last summer. The murder oc-
Cured about the latter part Of July at the
house where Rye lived. The shooting caused
SO much excitement in that part Of the county
that lynching party was organized and .
visit was made to the jail but Sheriff Adams
had the little Jail in Port Tobacco SO well
guarded that the lynchers failed to get their
man. Two days after the attempt WAS made
to lynch him the prisoner was removed to
Baltimore for safety and he has since been con-
fined in Jail there. "Old man Rye's" niece at
tended Wheeler's school and the homicide re-
suited from trouble about her. The story was
also the statement of the prisoner, who claimed
that he acted in self-defense.
The people about Lower Nanjemoy did not
take much stock in the prisoner plea Of self
defense. They thought that the shooting was
either justifiable or that it was murder, and
most OF them believed the latter. They were
generally Of the opinion that Rye went armed
for Wheeler and was glad of an opportunity to
fire the fatal shot and have an excuse for 30
doing.
Rye and his wife separated about thirteen
years ago and they have not seen each other
since. The husband went south and then re-
turned to Nanjemoy and the wife resided in
South Washington with her children.

GEORGETOWN,
CONDITION OF THE CANAL.


The bridge erected across the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal a short distance above the outlet
lock to facilitate the Baltimore and Ohio's con-
struction of their Washington and Western
Maryland branch. has been torn down to allow
the passage of the canal dredging machine,
which is now removing the winters accumula-
tions with the aid of great scoop worked by
steam. All now appears very favorable to the
opening OF the 1S4 mile stretch by the 18th of
the present month. but when the water is turned
in throughout the entire distance there is a
possibility of the numerous little holes which
now pepper the banks assuming larger pro-
portions and causing temporary delay. All
during the winter. though, the utmost care has
been taken to preserve the sides in every way.
and considerable money has been disbursed by
the company in recompensing the laborers.
The coming season will witness more boats and
business animation on the canal than the
oldest inhabitant will remember Of seeing.
During the winter o number of temporary boat
constructing places were fitted up along the
artificial stream and in ones, twOs and tours
the slow moving mule wagons have been turned
out
