The Elkton negro problem APP
pears to be one of the most vexa-
tiouss The following is part of last
weeks performance in that town as
reported by the Democrat
ga row with keen edges occur
red on East High street, Elkton, on
Wednesday morning, among some
of the colored denizens there, in the
midst of which Bailiff Biddle ap-
peared on the scene. The racket took
place in the house of Dora Thomas,
and when the officer arrived he
found George Biddle bleeding pro-
fusely from a sab given him by the
irate Dora, but as George is rather
fat the wound was confined to the
flesh. These two and another
negro woman, who was parading
around with an open knife and in
dulging in considerable profanity,
were arrested and taken TO Jail. On
the way George got in a lick on
Dora that upset the lady, and he
was choked for his disrespect by
the officer. After landing his pris-
oners the Railiff returned to the
house and inspecting the premises
found articles there which seemed
somewhat out of place, consisting
of solid silver forks, spoons and
napkin rings, engraved, embroid-
cred tablellinen, etc., which are now
in the custody Of the Sheriff."

at night, and all will be we'll.
