BLACK STILL MISSING.
The Police Following Many C!ews
Without Success.

ABERDEEN. Nd. Feb. 2S.-A posse
from This place went to Darlington in the
northeastern part of Hartford county yes
terday to search for William Black. the
negro accused of feloniously assaulting
Miss Jessie Bradford last Wednesday.
Several clews were received here that led
the Committee to believe that Black is in
hiding in that section, but no results have
yet teen attained.
Reports from other sources indicate that
the negro has crossed the Gunpowder on
his way to Baltimore. and many think that
he has boarded an oyster boat and gone
down the bay. "A message was received
from a private source in Baltimore saying
that a man supposed to be Black was on an
oyster pungy in Canton Hollow. Mr.
George Wright, of Aberdeen. who knows
Black. went to Baltimore and saw the
man. but he was not the man VINO is
wanted.
There IS still much suppressed excite
meut. and an organization of forty of the
most prominent men in the town has been
formed with the aYowed intention CT
lynching Black should he be caught
Mary Black. the negro's wife, came TO
Aberdeen from Baltimore yesterday and
walked from here to Havre de Grace. Lat
er she walked back to Aberdeen and went
to her home. She has been watched ever
since she left here last Friday. but has not
met her husband. Her return to her home
makes it seem feasible that Black is still
in hiding near his old home al Darlington.
Captain League, Of the Baltimore harbor

on the steam yacht Ivanhoe searching for
William Black. The Iyanhoe party will
make a thorough search of the different

Private Rogers, of the Medical Corps,
describes some curious wounds which he
saw al Coienso. In one case bullet
struck a mans jaw, tUnrend downward.
and ran down his neck. Another man was
struck in the upper part of the thigh. and
the bullet passed out at the back Of the
knee. Rogers was attending to two men
in a ditch. one of whom was wounded in
the head and the other in the arm. He
decided to dress the head wound first as
being the most serious. He told the man
10 sit down in the meantime. Almost i'm

and almost tore one finger of. The next

further injury, a shell went clean over the
