BRITISH WAR MEDALS.
Queen victoria's Measures TO Repair
the Omissions OF Her Royal
PredecensOrs.

Mr.. Tighe Hopkins, writing in Cas-
sells Magazine, says:
t"When the distribution OF the Wa.
terloo medal was made TO officers and
men, It was no wonder that the
veterans who had fought through the
several actions OF the Peninsular war
should desire to have a similar dis
tinetion.' Whole volumes Of CORE

The earldom Of Whites awaits an

Likes, Bcrwanger 4 Co. Reopens

Messrs. Likes, Berwanger & Co.'S re-
modelled clothing and mems furnishing
store at 10 and IL East Baltimore street,
Baltimore, was formally opened last Mon
day.
In the beautiful interior of what is prac-
tically a new building there is no hint of
the destroying fire of March 2Sti1 last,
which swept every floor and destroyed the
large stock of the firm. The show win
dows are of mammoth size and in them
are displayed every class of fine furnish
ings for men and boys
In the basement Of the building the firm
has equipped its own electric light plant,
which supplies the current for 80 arc lights
and 500 brilliant incandescent bulbs, which
Eliminates the entire building. The mo-
tive power for two elevators, equipped
with the most modern safety appliances
is also in the basement.
On the second floor, devoted to the sale
of youths clothing, the firm has inau-
gurated a novel way of keeping the goods
free from dust and displaying them at
tractively. The clothing is all hung in
deep oak cases with glass fronts. The
tailoring department is on the fourth
floor, and on the fifth floor is the factory
department, where all the clothing sold
by the firm is manufactured under its di-
rect supervision.

Mr.. B. Harris Camalier, the Democratic
Congressional nominee of the Fifth dis

over his prospects in the district.
There never has been such perfect
organization or such absolute harmony
among the Democrats in the Fifth dis
trict,' said Mr.. Camalier, ''as there is this
time. Every Democrat appears to be
working and they are enthusiastic about
it. More than this, l have received posi-

Malfcasance in Office.

On the oath and information of Her
bert J. Moffatt and Beaver Rollins, two
constables of this county, Sheriff Edward
T. Shea, has been indicted by the grand
jury for malfeasance in office. This case
grows out of the Sheriffs action in the
prizefight case at Chesapeake Junction
a pleasure resort just within the juris-
diction of this county.
The Indictment alleges that the Sheriff
under his official oath, is in duty bound
to preserve peace within the county; that
on Sept, 3rd., a fight occurred at an i'm
provised arena, where one William Pey-
ton, prizefi lighter, committed an assault
upon a certain Lanky Bob, called "Black
Fitsimons.' AS result of this fight the
party inflicting the injury was guilty of
an assault which the Sheriff was in duty
bound to prevent. This, it is charged, he
failed to do, but allowed the said William
Peyton to get out of Jurisdiction of the
court and thus violated the law in not
committing him to Jail to answer the
charge of assault
