and anxious to proceed with business but
it seems as If litigants and lawyers are all
in Montgomery and we can do nothing"
In the city court the condition is much
the same and, Notwithstanding the fact that
juries for the week have been organized,
little business is being done.
The office force is engaged with routine
work, but the clerks and judges are enjoy

larceny for $50 days, from October TO- 1893
which charge before the filing of said suit
had been judicially investigated, resulting
in his acquittal and discharge.

AssnuIt Upon His Son.

Boyds, Nd, Aug John T Hawkins.
OF Clarksburg. Montgomery county. was
arrested here Saturday afternoon by Dep
uty Sheriff Gibson, charged with assault
and intent to kill his son, Oscar Hawkins.
During the past few days Mr.. Hawkins
had quarrels with his son Oscar in regard
to work being done on the farm. In these
quarrels, it is said, the son cursed his IA
ther and was warned against doing so
again. On Saturday at 1880 O'Clock the
young man stopped the horses with which
he was plowing and intended taking them
in TO feed for dinner. but the father or
dered him TO pillow around to where one of
the other boys was already In the field
Oscar being a little slow in moving the
father commenced to berate him and the
son retaliated by cursing him. His IA
ther picked up gate hinge and struck
the young man on the side of the head
above the ear, knocking him senseless.
The gate hinge was of iron, two and a half
feet long, two inches wide. and half an
inch thick. The son is twenty-one years
old and is a favorite with the people living
in the neighborhood. DR.. J. E. Deets o.
Clarksburg, was summoned to attend him
and pronounced his condition serious.

INTEREST IN TIE OCEANIC.
Much Depends Upon Her Success a.
Profitable Atlantic Liner.


New York; Aug. Usual interest at
taches to the introduction into the great
trans Atlantic passenger service of the new
White Star Line steamship Oceanic which
is expected to arrive here on her maiden
voyage on September 2. The widespread
interest, howver, is by no means to be ac-
counted for by the single fact that the
Oceanic is the largest steamship aloat.
This fact, 1t is true, is a matter of no small
Importance in the shipping world. but a
question OF still more Importance is what
will she do with her great bulk 1t is true
that her carrying capacity will be un-
equaled, but will. not her capacity be OFF,
other great liners will be admittedly slow,
and then, too, the long space which the
powerful machinery must occupy will take
up much of the Yessel's interior. The con-
sumption of coalAs also calculated to enter
largely into the leviathian's worth as a
profitable moneysmaker. All these ques-
tions and many others are now agitating
shipping circles.t 81
One thing, however, is certain, the sue
cess or failure ofithe Oceanic means much
to the trans Atlantic steamship lines. Ii
she proves popular boat and consequent
ly a money maker All evolution in ship
building will SURELY follow. On the other
hand II she achieves but Indifferent pop
ularity with the travelling public the
chances are that the Oceanic, like the
Great Eastern, will principally enjoy the
name of being the largest vessel ever built
for a long period of years.
