A RIOT !.
AT CAMP.
Sheriff Comfy and Posse
Have a Very Inter.
esting Time.

There was a riot among the COL
ored people last Sunday at the camp
meeting at st. Augustine, Md. The
camp is situated in Cecil county
and it is estimated that there were
at least 1000 persons present. Sew
eral hacks loaded with colored peo-
pie from Wilmington, !OdessT and
MiddletoWn drove to the camp.
-Fagtts were frequent and pistols
and razors were in abundance.
Fist fights were seen at every turn
and brickbats flew in large quanti-
ties. The men were half crazed by
cheap liquor.
Pistol shots were the most alarm
ing features OF the riot. Sheriff
Comfy and his deputies arrested
James Banks, of Mt. Pleasant, but
whose home is in Baltimore. There
was general rush made to rescue
the prisoner. One Of the deputies
was knocked senseless by blow,
and the officers had considerable
trouble in keeping the enraged
crowd at bay.
During the day Sheriff Comfy
seized twelve revolvers from the
hands of half drunken men.
One colored man who was shot in
the arm was taken in charge by his
friends. One of the latter pulled a
razor from his pocket and cut the
ball from the mans arm. Then IN
a matter-of-fact way he secured
some white muslin and bound up
the I'M ured member.
g The Augustine camp meeting was
uPto it's predecessors, in point of
numbers and disorder.

Will Not Resign.

The Sun published an arti-
Gle several days ago that Street
and Sewer Commi ssioner James Car
ter was going to resign from the

what truth there was in the report
that he was gong to resign from
the Commission. He said there was
no truth in it and that he never had
an idea of doing such thing. He
was appointed for byears by Mayor
McLear, and expects to serve his
term out if alive and the Legislature
does not do away with all the COM
