Maryland Dredging Company.

|. The work of the Maryland Dredging
Company, which has the contract for
dredging out the channel at the harbor
entrance, is progressing finely. Two
machines of the Morris q Cummins
Company, of New York, and four tugs
and six scows of the Maryland Dredg-
ing Company, are engaged III the
work. The capacity of each scow is
634 cubic yards. One of the Maryland
Dredging Company's scows, the ''Ches-
apeake, digs 634 cubic yards in
rty minutes, which is considered
excellent work. When the work was
tarted there were four and one-half
niles of channel to be dug, and two
and one-half miles have already been
finished. The machines are now work
ing ON the second and third reach and
the second reach is one half completed,
the third reach has just commenced.
The work that has been going on does
not. however, include the cutting of
slopes and angles. Mr.. William l..
Marcy, Of this city, is one of the in
spectors for the government along this
line of work.

ANOTHER SMOKING ORDER.
GREATER PRECAUTIONS TAKEN TO PRE-
VENT ABUSE or PRIVILEGE.

Another order relative to smoking has
been recently posted at the Naval Acad-
emy stating that any midshipman other
than first classman. caught with tobac-
co on his person, using tobacco in any
form, or haying his room smelling OF to-
bacco smoke, shall be punished as pro-
vided for in the first notice.
About a month ago Captain Brownson.
superintendent of the academy, upon the
recommendation of Secretary OF the Navy
moody granted the first classmen the priv
ilege of smoking. specifying. however.
the hours in which it should be done
Shortly after this Superintendent Brown
son issued an order providing that smok-
ing by unauthorized midshipmen would
be punishable by twenty-five dement's for
the first offense and fifty dement's and
one month on the Santee for the second
offense. Apparently these strict rules
have not had the desired effect which
must have been the reason for the order
recently posted, and necessitated the TAX
ing Of greater precaution to prevent mid
shipmen, other than members of the first
class. from smoking.

THE EPNORTH LEAGUE.
Hallow Zen Party And Mem
bership Contest-Interest-
ing Exercises.

A unique entertainment was given
by the Epworth League of the First
NJ. e. Church last night in the form
of q Hallow E'ens arty. - During the
evening there was the first report of
the leaders of the membership contest
which is now going on in the body
and it was found that during the last
few weeks eighty-nine members had
been pledged for the League, q number
far in excess of expectations.
Everyone connected with the church
was delighted at the evidence of in
creased interest in the phase of church
work. The entertainment was exceed
ingly varied in its nature. After the
business meeting there were games
appropriate to the season, interspersed
with selections by the League female
quartette and piano solos by Mrs. Mil
ton Hawkins. A larger number were
present than at any affair of the kind
for many years. The refreshments were
homely in their nature, but charac-
teristic of the fall.
The decorations were branches of
autumn leaves and other beautiful
natural objects. The great interest of
the evening, however, centered in The
reports from the membership contests
The members of the League have for
several weeks been divided into a
white and q red side, each with a
captain and each designated by bow
of ribbon. The sides are engaged in
friendly rivalry in procuring the
more additional members.
The first report last evening showed
that the whites had fifty-seven to their
credit and the reds thirty-two. The
reds, however, are making great efforts
to catch up by the next meeting. There
is q very greatly increased interest of
late in the work of the Epworth
League as well as in other branches of
the work at the First NJ. +. Church.

NOT A SRONG DRAMA.
"The Sword of Justice, With
Gertrude Coghlan, Has
Chilly Reception.

Ii was not altogether the fault OF
Miss Gertrude Coghlan and her com
pany that she met with chilly recep-
ton at the Colonial Theatre last night,
when the drama, THE Sword of JUS
tice, " was presented. Owing 10 the
absence of heating apparatus, the
building itself was of a decidedly
frosty temperature, and the program
seemed to convey a delicate sugges-
tion of bronchial troubles when il
spelled the stars name "Coughlan,
instead of Coghlan.
1t is dicffiult matter to arouse en-
thusiasm when both the players and
the audience are suffering from the
chill of the atmosphere, yet it must
be said that last nights production
even under the most favorable circum-
stances, was hardly calculated 10 warm
the cookies of ones heart. The play
was puzzle from beginning TO end,
and il is a question whether, even
now, any of those who were present in
the audience last night understand
what it was all about.
The drama, in fact, is n mere tissue
of incoherencies. There is no consecu-
tiveness of plot, character or action.
The whole affair was inconsistent and
colorless, and into this general scheme
no one entered more thoroughly than
Miss Coghlan herself. This young
lady, while showing some natural ap-
titude, inherited from her talented
father, has fallen into bad habits of
elocution and stage mannerism. Her
lines were delivered without the least
regard for periods or other marks OF
punctuation, and her STACEY swagger
was not pleasant TO look upon.
:. Among the other principals there
were two who seemed TO be worthy
of better fate. One was Miss Elouina
Oldcastle, who appeared to have the
part of foiled duchess. The other
was Mr.. William Beach, very win
ming and graceful villain, whom every
one was sorry to see slain at the final
fall of the curtain. Most of the other
actors escaped being absolutely bad,
though in one or two instances the
escape was so narrow as TO cause
serious apprehension on the part of
the audience.

Strike Partly Settled.

The strike which occurred last week
between the bricklayers and plasterers
employed on the new annex to the
State House, has been partly settled.
The trouble occurred when Henry
Smith, of Baltimore, the contractor,
employed plasterers to work who were
not members of the local union, which
claims jurisdiction over all bricklay-
ers, plasterers and roughstone workers
in this locality, and the union ordered
all bricklayers to quit work on the
building. The plasterers came here
from Norfolk, Va. They belong to a
general union and they state that they
have worked in other cities, but no
trouble of the present kind has ever
occurred. The contractor has recog-
nized the plasterers, claiming that it
is not compulsory that they join the
local union, and they will return to
work tomorrow morning. The brick
layers still claim that unless the new
corners affiliate with the local union
they will not return to work.

SECOND DAYS SESSION.
OF The Court Martial of Mid
shipmen-Evidence Be-
fore Commission

There was another session this morn
ing of the court martial which was
called at the Naval Academy for the
purpose of trying the three members
of the first class who are charged with
hazing. At the beginning Of the ses-
sion today the court announced that a
verdict had been reached in the case
of Midshipman John II. Lofland, of
Iowa, who was tried yesterday, but il
will not be made public until it re-
ceives the approval of the Secretary
of the Navy.
The remainder of the session was
occupied in the trial Of Midshipman
Earl w. Chafee, of Wisconsin,. There
are three specifications TO the charge
of hazing against Midshipman Chafee.
Two of them are the same as those
upon which Lofland was tried, that
he hazed Midshipman w. w. Law
renee, of Colorado, by compelling him
to stand on his head, and that he
hazed Midshipman Churchill Humph-
reys by compelling him to perform
"No. 49, one of the setting mp exer-
cises used at the institution. The
third specification is that he hazed
Midshipman j. III. McCool, of Wash
ington State, by compelling certain
physical exercises known as sitting on
infnity. The three under classmen
were on the stand and number OF
others of the same class.
The witnesses are now telling of the
occurrence with greater freedom than
at previous sessions. The reason for
this is tnat the members of the court
are in possession of statemnt procur-
ed from these same Midshipmen by a
commission appointed by Captain
Brownson. Tho Midshipmen spoke very
freely TO the members of this commits
sion and are now afraid Of the slight
est deviation. The evidence makes it
perfectly clear that the under class
men were subjected to certain compul-
sorry practices, but the defense is seek
ing to show that hazing was not con-
stitnted and deny that the connection
of the accused is shown. The talk of
the members of the first class resign
ing If the accused Midshipmen are
convicted is nonsense.

Property Changes Hands.

The old postoffice property on Main
street which was owned jointly by Lieut..
!. f. abbott, u. s. A.. and Rashleigh b.
Chalmers. of New York and sold at pub.
lie sale yesterday by a decree of the
Court, was purchased by Mr.. Chalmers
at S4.775.oo, and resold to George w
Jones, newsdealer for IS 900. Mr.. Jones
will put the building in thorough repair
for his news business, and will shortly
occupy it.
The lot adjoining the Rullman' sbakery
on Main street and running back to the
Colonial Theatre 1.-THE old City Hotel) and
owned by Mr.. George w. Jones, has
been sold to Jacob Ebling, for $500.
The three-story double brick building
on Market Space formerly owned and
built by the late ]. ) M Basil. now oc-
cupied by Benesch & Sons, and owned
by Mrs. Fredericka Sunderland has been
purchased, it is said. by the Hub Cloth
ing Company, who will occupy it in the
near future.

Ducking Season Opens.

The ducking season opened yester-
day and the gunners have made their
usual elaborate preparations to give
these dainty visitors from the frozen
north a warm welcome and hearty
reception. While there are many ducks
on the flats, yet they are said not to
be as numerous as they have been in
former yeas, and it is said that the
high rivers have covered the fats with
mud, and, as a consequence the luciOus
wild celery, which has ever been the
magnet that has drawn these epicu-
rean acquatics to our waters, is much
less abundant than for some years,
and will, undoubtedly, shorten theil
stay here. AS licenses are being issued
daily, it is impossible to say how
many sink boxes and sneak boats viii
be licensed this year, but it is pre-
sumed the number will be about the
same as in other years.

A Game With Graduates.

The midshipmen and the graduates of
the Naval Academy who are not on duty
on the ships of the North Atlantic Squa-
dron, have arranged a football game.
Passed Midshipmen A. I Brisbin and
Semmes Read have been in town for the
past week completing arrangements for
the contest. The squadron eleven is com
posed of former stars of the navy team,
and they have played several games with
athletic clubs of New York and have won
most of the games. Those who compose
the team are as follows: Mccormick and
Read, ends; Karns and Lang, tackles;
Bruff and Belknap, guards; Whitlock,
center; Long. quarterback; Manley and
Fowler, halfbacks; Freyer, fullback.
rhe game with the midshipmen will be
played at the Naval Academy on We'd

CITY and COUNTY ELECTION
A Big Vote Being Polled-All
Quiet at The Polls.

The steady voting in Annapolis and
the county indicates that intense interest
IS being taken in the election OF today.
There are o. names in all on the official
ballot, the Democratic and Republican
parties having - each. Many of the
voters, particularly the illiterates, took
considerable time TO mark their ballots
and IN few instances in Annapolis the
ballots were rejected as over seven
minutes were consumed in preparing the
ballot. There was also considerable
difficulty in folding the ballot properly.
The first two votes in the Second ward
OF Annapolis were cast by Governor
Smith and Secretary of State Bateman,
who then left town. The only trouble
as far as heard was in the First district
OF the county. where owing to dispute
between the Republican and Democratic
Judges as TO who should preside at the
ballot box. voting was delayed until Q. 20,
an hour and half after the designated
time. The counting is sure to last until
some time Thursday, owning to the large
number OF names to be counted.
In the Second and Third wards, at
noon. additional ballot boxes had TO be
used. the first one holding only so7
ballots. The marking pencils were OF
such an inferior kind. that it was found
almost impossible to keep point on
them. and some parties used their own
pencils for marking their ballots.
