A DIurderous Assault.

An alteration occurred about midnight on
Saturday between two well-known colored
residents of Havre dc Grace, which resulted in
a shooting ARRAY which may yet cost one of the
participants his life. For some time past there
has been trouble between the parties, one of
whom, "Jim" Hill, is a large burIy negro, of
powerful strength. The ether, Robinson, is
small man and by no means match for Hill.
The trouble was occasioned by family matters,
which had reached such a Stage as to warrant
Robinson in forbidding Hill the privilege of
visiting his (Robinson's) house.
He went there, however, on Saturday night,
and when Robinson returned and found him
there an alteration Immediately ensued, in
which Hill was an easy victor, his antagonist
being thrown into the street. The latter went
to the house Of a friend by the name OF Joseph
Cole, and stating that he had ''treed coon,
which he wished to bring down." he secured a
double-barrelled gun and laid in wait in small
| alley nearby, until Hill made his appearance.
Shortly afterward Hill, in company with three
colored men, Albert Hynson, Joseph Coleman
and another, came along and Robinson fired
the shot taking effect in Hill's right leg, shat
tering it badly.
Finding that his victim did not fall, Robin
son fired the second barrel, the load enterins

sailant at once surrendered to Justice Hopper,
by whom he was held in the sum Of $3.50 &c

Death of One of Harrord's Foremost
Citizens

Mr.. John s. Dalam, one of the best and most
widely known citizens of Hartford courly, died
at ''Woodstock," his home. near Bel Air, on
Friday morning. He had been In excellent
health, Notwithstanding the fact that he had
nearly reached his eighty-thrd year, and was
familiar figure upon our streets until about
three weeks ago, when he was taken with a
congestive chill, from which he never recov
cred
He was born near Darlington, in July, 1916,
and belonged to one OF the oldest and best
families in the State of Maryland, being the
son of Mr.. Richard Dalam. In early life he
was engaged in mercantile business in Oar
lington Political life had however, its at
fractions, and for many years his name has
been prominent in official circles. He was
elected Sheriff of Hartford county in 1854, and
has been twice Assessor Iu 1879 he was elect
ed a County Commissioner, serving continu-
ously until 1885, acting for part of the time
as President Of the Board. He also held
position in the Internal Revenue Department
in Baltimore, and was for thirty years direc-
tor in the Mutual Fire Insurance Company of
Hartford county.
In the death of Mr.. Dallam, Hartford county
has lost one of its best citizens, and one who
| has been thoroughly identified with its most
prominent interests. Possessed of a kind and
genial disposition, he had host OF friends,
and could probably boast of larger circle of
| acqusintances, and greater knowledge of
localities than any other resident OF the coun-
| ty. His untiring activity in both private and
public life made him familiar figure every
where. An answering Democrat, he was
at one time leader Of his party. He was re-
markabe in many ways, his memory being
peculiarly clear up to the hour of DEATH
| Mr.. Dallam married Miss Amanda Prigg,
who, with five children, survives him. There
are three sons, Captain Charles h. Dalam and
Dallam, a member of the Baltimore city bar,
and two daughters, Mrs. &. Edward n. Ewing
and Miss Laura Dallam.
The funeral took place on Sunday, the inter
ment being made in the family lot in Rock

the boys are crowded, there being from ten
to twelve in each tent, the stoves were placed
in the middle and a semblance of comfort was
secured. A number of the soldiers still prefer
their oil stoves, as they take up less room.

An Imnortant Decision.

and was brought before the Court on an APP
peal from Il Justice of the Peace. 1t was a
case of debt and the magistrate had rendered
Judgment for an amount in excess Of 500.
Chapter 1G7 of the Acts Of 1898, enlarged the
civil jurisdiction Of justices Of the peace to

ian act to repeal and re enact with amend
ments to section Il of article 81 Of the Code Of
Public General Laws. little baltimore City"
subtitle, justices of the Peace.
The question arose as to y neither the law
applied only TO Baltimore City or the whole
State of Maryland
Judge Fowler said that the matter appeared
suIli GENTLY clear, and that if the provision Of
the constitution referred to meant anything
at all, the law could not he upheld; that in the
case at bar there could be no doubt that under
the provisions OF the acI justices of the peace
had no jurisdiction in civil cases where the
"HiouhI luNol'cu eACeeua HlO"; anu thA' lHc
plea to the jurisdiction which had been made
i'll the case would have to be sustained.
This decision leaves the matter to all intents
in Stdtu q,tO, as it differs from the decisions
previously made 10y Judges Stockbridge and
Dobler.
The latter Judges in similar case where the
plea to the jurisdiction had been also raised,
decided that the words, baltimore City,"were
mere surplusage and that the act applied to
the whole State OF Maryland. Judge Fowler's
decision Virtually reversing those of Judges
Stockbride and Dober, by deciding that the
law does not apply outside of the city, will
doubtless have the effect of arrestiug suits be-
fore justices Of the peace where the amount
exceeds the sum of 500.

Mr. NJ. Morris Whitehurst, of the Druid
Athletic Club, takes up the cudgel in the
american for his club, in defending it from the
charge Of displaying "the yellow streak, - and
points to its record as an answer. In that
record he includes the following score:
"Druid Athletic Club g. Bel Air Athletic
Club O." Looking at the fact, that the Bel
Air boys were to play the Druids on Thanks
giving Day, and the weather was so Indictment
on that day that the boys did not even go to the
grounds, but quietly paid the guarantee of SIS
and let the game go by default; and judging
the rest Of the Druid's record by that item, the
boosted record is one that an infant could have
made without especial pride
