Negro Outlaws.

From 8 to 10 cases Of negro rowdyIsn,
snatching pocket books and assaulting citi-
zens and officers are reported daily III Baltl-
more. Before the civil war, during the reign
of the Know Nothings, Baltimore was known
as s:mob-town,'' and it seems to be rapidly
approaching that condition now. Reform(D
and change of officials seems to be IA costly
experiment to the Monumental City. The
Wards of the Nation are enjoying their pull,
and the over-zealous who wanted a change
are reaping the benefits.
The World of that city on Wednesday says:
A perfect saturnalia of negro rowdyism,
burglary and night assaults is affecting Brlti-
more. Men of family are afraid to leave their
wives and daughters in their homes IN the
evening. Women and children are afraid to
walk on the streets, lest they be insulted and
assaulted. This is delectable state of affairs
in city of over 100000 souls, city of
churches, factories, banks, great commercial
houses. Baltimore's respectable citizens are
beginning to ask. "Who is to blame 2 They
are not asking the question for political rea-
sons, but from the standpoint of respectable
ty. In short time, unless these outrages
cease, they will form their own judgment,
answer the question themselves and file their
answers in an Australian system polling booth.
1t is significant that the majority OF these
assaults, burglaries, insulting women on the
street appear to be committed by one race
and class, and the accusation is being freely
made that the boldness of these thugs and
rufians is caused by their belief that the
power now railing the city police and detec-
tive departments is inclined to protect them
for the sake of holding their votes in the com
ing elections. Up to date that political party
has failed, through any of its representatives,
in denying its sympathy with these lawbreak,
ers nor has it come out boldly and warned
them that continued lawlessness would result
in punishment, no matter whether votes are
lost or not.
In the past three weeks the newspapers
have chronced scores of cases until the re-
cord of assaults, "hold ups and general
rowdyism makes Baltimore appear more like
a Black Hills mining gulch than one of the
largest cities of the country. 1t is shameful,
degrading and inexcusable. Its evil effects
are not affecting the present alone, but the
future. The one time ''city of homes, will,
unless these outrages are choked off, be
styled, "The city of thugs

A few weeks ago it was announced that
immigrant inspector Lewis H. Robinson, Of
Towson, was to be dismissed from the service
in Baltimore, and grave charges were pre-
ferred against him. A thorough investigation
followed and he was completely eXonerated.
A letter has been sent to the commissioner
of immigration at Baltimore by the Treasury

On Tuesday there were three fires at Cock
eysville, Baltimore county. Fortunately two
we're slight ones, but by the third 600 bushels
of unthrashed wheat on the farm of Vincent
L. Caple, were burned by IL spark from q
chimney. Insured in the Baltimore County
Company.
On Monday night rats attacked and badly
bit two children of John Reichert, Cumber

Tuesday storm did considerable damage
in Washington county. Reports received
from rural districts say the wind uprooted
trees, scattered fences and tore roofs off
houses. In Hagerstown the new powerhouse
of the street railway company was damaged
second time. The east and west walls were
blown down, the east wall falling in on ST.,
900 worth of new electrical machinery just
placed. Tons of brick and mortar at night
covered the machinery. 1t is impossible to as
certain how much machinery is damaged.
The west wall fell fifteen minutes after the
east wall and went clear across South Jona-
than street. Christian w. Lynch, the presi-
dent of the company, and Electrician Kelley,
of Harrisburg, were inside the building a few
minutes before the wall fell. Much damage
was done on the fair grounds.

While longing oysters recently in the mouth
of Miles River, Talbot county, couple of
young men, of St. Michaels, brought to the
surface large tree root, with six or eight
branches, completely encased in beautiful
red coral. This is not the first instance of
coral being found on this bottom, and oyster
men believe there is genuine coral bed in
that locality.

An Interrupted Wedding Trip.

MOUNT VERNON, N. Y, Oct. 17.-Charles
J. Lentz, young druggist of Newburg, and
Miss Matilda Heller of this city were married
at the BRIDES home ON Sunday night by the
Rev. Charles Mohidenke, pastor of St. Pauls
German Lutheran Church. After the cere-
mony there was a dinner. At II O clock the
couple babe their parents and friends good
night and started to the railroad station, amid
a shower of rice, expecting to take train for
Niagara Falls. Before the carriage driver
could mount the box the horses took fright
and ran away, leaving him standing in the
roadway with the whip and blankets in his
hands. A dozen tin pans and stove pipes
fastened to the axles and harness ratified loudly
and urged the animals to greater speed. They
dashed down the hill between North Fifth and
North Fourth avenues into the business por-
ton of the city.
The bride and bridegroom struggled hard
to get out, but they were unable to unfasten
the doors. The inside handles had been re-
moved by their friends. At North Fourth
avenue one of the horses slipped and fell.
His mate dragged him nearly half block and
finally overturned the coach against tele-
graph POLE Mr.. and Mrs. Lentz were found
under the vehicle with their wedding garments
badly torn. Mr.. Lentz was bleeding from
bruises on his hands and legs. His wife was
carried back to her fathers home suffering
from hysteria Both horses were badly in
iured. Mr.. and Mrs. Lentz will not be able
to resume their wedding tour for several days.

Maryland Congressman

From the Baltimore World, Republican, Oct Il.
Even the Heading Republican papers of
the South comedies the election of Col. John
Walter Smith, Democratic nominee for con-
gress in the First district, and puts down the
Second district as doubtful. Conservative
Republicans as well as independent Demo-
Gratis and men of all shades of political belief
are carefully considering the situation. They
are awakening to the fact that Maryland has
not been properly represented in congress;
that partisanship is not a necessary qualifca-
ton for congressman, and that it is time to
send men to the national halls of legislation
who will arise above petty partisanship i'll the
consideration of matters of importance; men
of intelligence and push capable of doing
something for their state and their country,
and who will reflect credit upon their constit-
uency. In looking over the field for the past
several years the people seem to have reached
the conclusion that those sent to represent
them failed to do so, and appeared to have
been imbued with the idea that they were
made congressman merely to obey the dictates
of political Bosses Not man of them arose
from his seat to defend a measure for public
good, or to oppose one introduced in the spirit
of partisanship. When laws were enacted
which gave trusts and combinations further
power to prey upon and rob the masses, not
one of them had the courage to condemn them,
and when measures were offered to curtail the
power of greedy corporations not voice was
raised for them.
Is Maryland content to remain the laughing
stock of her sister states by sending men to
congress who sit like dummies at their desks,
with nothing in their mental makeup to com
mand respect and influence, and no more con-
sideration for their state and its needs than to
be led by their noses by the bosses? What
have Mudd, Baker and McIntire done to en-
title them to reelection, and what could
Wachter and Jackson do if elected? Every
one of them is under obligations to Wellington
and other bosses for his nomination, and be-
sides being men of less mediocre ability, as
statesmen, they would naturally pursue the
same old course of acting and voting as the
bosses should see fit to dictate. The Repub-
licans have made no issue except that of the
money question, which has been squarely met
by the Democratic candidates. There being
no issue other than qualifications, intelligence
and business ability, it behooves the people to
weigh well the merits of the candidates before
voting. Consider whether it would not be of
more advantage to your state to send men to
congress untrammeled by bossism than men
whose votes are already owned and ready TO
be cast by their bosses.

Schley and Sampson.
From the Cincinnati Tribune.

FIOil cincinnati IIlDuhS.
We do not propose to quote from the story
of the fight as given. 1t has been told, and
better told, by the newspaper men who were
there. Intelligent readers know that Schley
was present and in command. They know
that most magnificent fleet, the pride of
Spain, was completely wiped off the sea, with
naught to tell the story but some battered and
shattered hulks, stranded and sunk near San
tiago. They know that Schley's flagship, the
Brooklyn, was more times hit by proiectiles
from the enemy's guns than all the others to-
gether. That is the story in brief and about
all that is essential.
As far as Admiral Sampson is concerned
he was not present, and history will so record
the fact, in spite of all the Investigating COM
mittees in existence, or to be appointed. He
may have planned the battle, and he may
have anticipated the course and the time and
the actions of Cervera's fleet. For this he is
entitled to. credit, and none will withhold it.
But he was not there when the engagement
was fought. His claims are to be compared
with commander who gives the order to a
subordinate to make charge against a strong
ly fortified position. Is the man who makes
the charge and takes his life in his hands
to be robbed of his honors? Was the charge
at Balaklava made by the heroic Cardigan or
by Lord Lucan, who gave the fatal order? Is
Pickett's glory at Gettysburg dimmed because
Lee or Longfelow gave the order or planned
the charge?
1t will not do. The masses know that
Schley was in command, and the glory of the
fight is, and will be, his, no matter about the
order of promotion, nor the reports of COM
mttees made for a specific purpose. He has
been generous and modest throughout all
the controversy from beginning to end. He
has borne himself as becomes a man and a
gentleman. His future is secure as far as the
verdict of history is concerned. He is the
hero of Santiago, and will be known as such
for all time to come

Stop These Crimes.
From the Baltimore American.

There is no doubt that crime is greatly on
the increase in this vicinity, and that, too,
while the general order never was better
kept. Our people are decent, respectable
and law-abiding, but there are elements in
the population which need closer watching
and severer punishments. We refer particu-
larly to the lower classes of negroes, who are
over-runningg certain sections of the city and
committing atrocious crimes in the suburbs
and county.
The Highlandtown outrage, following so
closely upon similar crimes in Baltimore
county, demands the utmost vigilance on the
part of the authorities. In this case the
scoundrel was caught by private citizens. In
another case the mar has never been found,
and the following of the case was slow and
brief We simply cannot let these scoundrels
frighten our women and children and make
our streets and roads too dangerous at night
for respectable people. Something must be
done.
And the sooner it is done the better The
best way to check the grosser crimes is to
deal vigorously with the drunken rowdyism
of The public thoroughfares Our authorities
should take this matter in hand at once.

Mr.. Tippett on the Stump.

On Wednesday night, in Baltimore, a
large and enthusiastic rally was held at Har-
lem Hall, under the auspices of the Eigh-
teenth Ward Democratic Association. John
Gourley presided, and addresses were made
by Congressional Candidate R. B. Tippett,
Ex-Congressman j. Fred. c. Talbot, James
R. Brewer and others. Mr.. Tippett said, in
part:
81 am not politician, but plain, out
spoken citizen, and one who has come up
from among the people. The gentleman VINO
is representing this district is a gentleman,
but he has not represented US at all during
his term, although he has drawn $50, 900 from
the public Treasury. He has not presented
a bill before Congress or appeared before
committee, and yet you are asked by his party
to return him. | promise to represent you,
if elected, and to do something for this city.

as.ed by the Republicans, If elected, for
whom would you vote for speaker? MY an
swer is now and at all times that will vote
for Democrat, and no power will ever make
me vote for Tom Reed, the Car.
Hon. J. Fred. C. Talbot said, in part;
ssThere is only one way to elect a Demo
cratic Congressman in this district, and that
is for every Democrat or silver-lined-
to vote for him. Mr.. John X. Cowen is out
in an interview in an afternoon paper in
which he saws that he cannot see how any
gold.standard Democrat, if elected to Con
gress, can avoid voting for Republican for
Speaker of the House. Well, John X. Cowen
was the only Democrat elected from this
State TO Congress who never filled the office.
who never filled his seat or voted for anyone
or anything during his term. He drew his
salary, and that was all; and would like TO
know, therefore, what he knows about the
dlties of Congressman. Mr.. Tippet has a
right to his convictions. The party must get
together, and you must take the man, because
on every other question he agrees with you,
and WILL therefore, represent you.
