August Berger the Victim of Two Coiored
Prisoners Mt Dover.
Dover, March 90. While excitement
was running wild in Dover and vicinity,
some of tho prisoners in the Kent
county Jail did not want the outside
world to have all the fun.
Yesterday afternoon, while six of the
prisoners had the run Of the corridor,
two of them--Sam Jones, colored, con-
victed of shooting y man at Masten's
Corner last November, and who is
serving three years. term, and a
colored man known as Baltimore
went to the cell of August lierger, an
aged German, who is awaiting trial on
the charge Of tho larceny of suit of
clothes, and asked him what was new.
Berger, who was filling his lamp, re-
piled that he had not read the papers
yet and he did not know. Jones then
struck Berger on the head with u stick,
rendering him unconscious. and rifed
the Germans pockets, stealing &c. Berger
soon recovered his senses, and gave an
alarm. Deputy Sheriff Foreaker and
Turnkey Boggs searched for the money,
even stripping Jones and Baltimore,
but could not find it. The other
prisoners were questioned respecting
the assault upon Berger, but professed
ignorance. Berger's head was severely
cut.
Sheriff Wharton will punish Jones
and Baltimore by having them kept
in solitary confinement.

Manila, Philippine Islands, March
90 moon 1.-The American army adj
yanced at 6 O'Clock this morning,
sweeping onward three miles before 10
o'clock, and driving the rebels beyond
Bocave, to the east of Bulacan and
on the railroad leading to Malolos.
Our troops met with but slight resist
ance.
The Filipinos fred volleys last even
ing, for the purpose of daring the
American fire and disclosing the To-
cality Of our Positions Two men of
the Pennsylvania regiment and one
man belonging to the Dakota regiment
were wounded The Americans re-.
manned silent.
The country between Marilao apd
Manila presents a picture of desola-
ton. Smoke is curling from hundreds
of ash heaps, and the remains of trees
and fences torn by shrapnel are to be
seen everywhere. The general appear
ance of the country is as If it had been
swept by a cyclone. Tho roads are
strewn with furniture and clothing
dropped in flight by the Filipinos.
The only persons remaining behind are
Il few aged persons, too infirm to
escape. They camp beside the ruins
Of their former homes, and beg passers
by for any kind of assistance. The
majority of them are living on the
generosity of our soldiers, who give
them portions of their rations. The
| dogs of the Filipinos cover in the
bushes, still terrified and barking,
while hundreds of pigs are to be seen
busily searching for food. Bodies of
dead Filipinos are strewn in the
| shadows of the river, or are resting
in the jungle where they crawled to
die, or were left in the wake of the
hurriedly retreating army. These bodies
give forth horrible odor, but there
is no time at present to hurry them.
The inhabitants who fled from Mari
lao and Meycauayan left in such a
panic that, on tables, our soldiers
found money and valuables, and, in
| the rooms, were trunks containing
other property of value. This was the
case in most of the houses deserted.
They were not molested by our soldiers,
but the Chinese, who slip in between
the armies, are looting when they can,
and have taken possession of several
houses, over which they raised Chinese
flags, some of which were torn down.

A DESPERATE SHOT.
Tried to Assault the Warden, but the Latter
Was Too Quick for Him.


Was Too Quick for Him.
Henry Smith, colored, who is serving
10 years sentence in New Castle jail
for entering the house of James NJ.
Vandegrift near Macdonough, with
intent to commit larceny, assaulted
Warden Paris on Tuesday night and
rs u consequence was shot in the arm
by Paris. The trouble grew out of
an irritating noise nade by Charles
Boulden, one Of the prisoners, who has
an unfortunate habit at times of shout
ing in the night. Smith, who occupied
other prisoners, told the wardens that
Boulden could be made to stop this,
but the wardens remarked that he
could not be stopped.
Then Smith became wordy and swore
at Wardens Paris and John Barnes,
who unlocked the door of his cell, and
invited him to come out. He not only
did not come out, but dared them to
come in.
Then Warden Paris started to enter
the cell, according to the story. but
had barely got his hand inside the
door, when Smith struck down upon
his hand with piece Of flooring about
four feet long and four inches wide.
The blow broke the skin of the
warden's hand. Quick as thought,
Paris drew his revolver and fred at
the negro. The bullet took effect in
the feshy part of the arm. That closed
the trouble for the time. There being
two other prisoners in the cell with
Smith, the wardens did not care to
risk tho danger of going in after him
but Mt once notified Sheriff Taylor of
what had happened. The sheriff APP
peared on the scene and ordered Smith
to como out of the cell, but the negro
still refused to do SO. Then the sheriff
went in, willis his wardens stood out
side the cell door. Smith thereupon
made no objection to accompanying
the sheriff from the cell to one on the
upper tier, where he was confined alone.

To deny to the government the right to
suppress such %incendiary publications
NAV be the mission of the democratic
press. but fortunately for tie people the
government is not getting its instructions
from tina source. Free speech does not
include a license to every ~biatherskite to
seek to incite soldiers and sailors against
the government whose flag they have
sworn to defend. With no further pun
ishment than the exclusion of his htera-
ture from the foreign mails, and the nat
ural Endorsement of his pamphlets by the
democratic press. Mr.. Atkinson has rea-
son to feel that he has had a fortunate
escape. Had he been doing business with,
the Russian government, he would have
been given permanent homestead rights
in the Siberian mines, as a reward for his
activity against the interests Of the ma
ton in which he lived.

themselves over what they are pleased
to call the return of Baltimore to the
fold of the democracy. In it they foresee
a lot of glittering possibilities. among
which is the return Of German to the
The fact is, Baltimore has always been
in the democratic column under normal
conditions. From the time it mobbed
union soldiers during the early days of
the war of the rebellion up to the cleo
ton of last week, it has been nothing
else but democratic, except when a
division in the democratic forces gave
to the republicans a temporary advant-
age. Dissatisfaction with German in
democratic circles, and party rivalrles,
have done for the democracy of Mary
what the Quay controversy may
ultimately do for the republican party in
Pennsylvania.
But Maryland is naturally a democratic
commonwealth. and it's return means
nothing further than that the division
in the democratic ranks has beer healed
until it breaks out in a new place. The
Baltimore victory adds no new strength
to the democratic party-it merely re-
turns some of the old.

can be issued. and a violation OF such an
injunction would be construed as a crime
rot only on the part Of the mem who par
ticipateo in a strike but on the part of the
organization to which they belonged. Car
ried to a conclusion, the principle laid
down by Attorney General Hayes would
practically eliminate all societies organ-
lied for the protection of labor.
AS conditions now are in the Occur
dA,enes, mine owners cannot employ
union men. even though they did not
countenance the crimes committed at
Wardner and had nothing whatever to
do with them. The fact hat they belong
to that labor organization bars them
just as effectually as the union
men would have barred those who
are not members. The government would
do. insofar as this particular phase of the
situation is concerned, that which it
would condemn on the part Of the labor
union. Thu wisdom and propriety Of such
a course may we'll be doubted.
Let the men who destroyed property at
Wardner, and sacrificed human life, be
properly punished as the law provides,
but their punishment should rest On the
same basis as that imposed upon any
other v~iolater of the law, namely, individ-
uai responsibility. Citizens who were not
a party to the crime should not be indi-
rectly punished by being denied an op-
p%ortunlty to arm a livelihood unless they
%renounc their membership in an organi-
cation which they believe is founded on
correct business principles fuc the prop
err protection of labor. Nor should the
Wardner crime be used to establish pre-
cedents that will prevent labor from or
ganizing for it's own benefit within the
puryiew Of the law, just as capital sees
fit to combine for the purpose of increas-
ing it's dividends. 1t is when laboring
men do violence to the law that they
should be punished-not by furnishing the
society to which they may belong in COM
mon with thousands Of law abiding citi-
zens-but by holding them to a strict per-
sonal responsibility for their own acts.

DEFENDING ATKINSON.

This rattle-brained purveyor of sedi-
tious literature is being given a great
deal Of cheap advertising through the
democratic press, which really seems to
imagine that a controversy is going on
between a fanatical anti-expansionist
and all-around copperhead, Inc the presi-
dent of the United States. They assume
that the seditious and reasonable matter
thrown into the mails by Atkinson was
authorized by the senate and at one
time approved by the president himself.
The assumption is positively silly.
Undoubtedly the anarchist, who is now
posing for democratic applause, took off,
cial u%tterances and data for a basis for
some of his pamphlet work and around
them he wrapped the poisoned ivy Of Sc
dition. 1t is said in behalf Of Atkinson
that his pamphlets are harmless things"
Doubtless they are harmless when circu-
lated amon people who are in daily touch
with the events of the day and UNDER
stand that they are calculated for poll
teal effect; but distributed in the Phil
ippines among the soldiery. and in the
ranks of the insurgents. the injury they
might have inflicted Is beyond computa-
ton. The postmaster general was I'M
a~uestionably right when he classed At
kinson's pamphlets as reasonable and Sc
ditious literature, that was of a character
to incitc discomfort and mutny in the
