OBpuRATE BovINEs.-Some cows
which were landed here from the
steamer T. V. Arrowsmith this morn
ing attracted considerable attention by
their obduracy while being driven
through the streets. The animals,
which were of the Attorney breed,
seemed to be scared, and it was with
considerable difficulty that they were
made to walk. Ropes we're tied around
their horns aud in some instances they
were deprived of locomotion from the
fact that those pretending to be urging
them along were pulling in every Gu
rectien. It took several hours TO get
tn m through the city, during which
time several persons were knocked
down by the frightened COWS.

Two ATTEMPTS AT SUICIDE. Upon
the arrival ofthe steamer City of Rich
mond at Washington, about 1890
O'Clock yesterday morning, d hurry
call was sent to the police headquar-
for the ambulance. The driver upon
upon reaching the wharf found Mary
Beach, young colored woman, suf-
fsring from poison and shock. It was
learned that she had made two de-
termined attempts at suicide on the
steamer since leaving Colonial Beach.
Mary went down the river to see male
friend, whose name is said to be Walk
or, and with whom she is in love. They
spent several hours on the beach. and
finally the young woman told him Of
her love and asked him what his inten-
tentions were toward her. He replied
hippantiy that his best girl lived IL
Charles county and he was going to
marry her. This announcement entire
w unsettled Mary's nerves and she told
him he would never see her again alive,
at the same time exhibiting small
vial. On the return trip the woman
was Respondent. James Young, COL
ored deck hand on the steamer, watch
ed her movements closely, and when
he saw the woman attempt to throw
herself overheard rushed up and saved
her lust in the nick of time. A short
while later she swallowed the contents
of the vial, but was nearly restored
when the steamboat reached her wharf
in WASHINGTON. She was removed to
her home in the ambulance and last
night had nearly recovered from the
effects of her rash attempts.

POSING AS PORT WARDEN.-Captain
Ketchum, of the schooner Jennie Mid
dleton, went to police headquarters
Yesterday and swore out a warrant
against William B. Hayden, of this
city. charging him with obtaining
money under false pretenses. The war
rant was issued, but the police were
unable to find the accused, he having
gone to Washington. Lieut.. Smith mott
fed the authorities of that city and
about dark ne Yves in their custody and
later was brought here by Officer
Smith. Hayden was brought before
Justice Thompson to-day, when Cap
tain Ketchum appeared and testified
that Hayden came aboard his schooner,
the Jennie Middleton. representing
himself as the Port Warden, and as
sumed the right to inspect his matches,
&c. BE afterwards made out bill for
four dollars, which the captain refused
to pay until Hayden put the words
"Port Warden" to it. The accused
then furnished Capt. Ketchum with a
certificate to the effect that his vets i
had been found to be all right. He--
bert Martin, young man employ, d
by Mr.. S. G. Boush, had been
Hayden's amanuensis and had writ
ten the receipt and certificate
for him, but there was no evidence to
prove that he was aware that he was
doing anything wrong from the fact
that captains of other vessels had 60
licited Hayder's services on former &C.
casions and Martin had done the writ
ing for him. It seems that if
the captain of vessel arriving here de-
sires to have his matches inspected,
which is often the case, and there be-
ing no such officer as Port Warden, any
responsible nautical man can perform
the service; but Hsyden's ofense lay
in boarding vessel and making it
compulsory to have such work done.
and further in putting Port Warden"
to his receipt. 1t is claimed that le
has been proceeding in this way fer
some time. The offense comes under
the head of petit larceny, the fine being
from S. to 500, or six months in Jail or
both. The accused was made to pay
81 in all and cautioned against repe-
ton of the offense. Martin was dis,
missed with an sdmonition, il being ap-
parent that he acted inpocently in the
matter,
