Martial Law Declared.

Martial law is in operation in two
Colorado counties, San Miguel and Las
Animas. Reports from both districts
are to the effect that conditions at present
are peaceful. At Telluride, San Miguel
county, press censorship is exercised and
no news is sent out except such as is ap-
proved by the authorities. No press
censorship has yet been established at
Trinidad or other towns in the coal field.
At Denver no secret is made of the
fact that the purpose in declaring martial
law in San Miguel county is to prevent
the return to Telluride of the union men,
who we're expelled from the camp by an
organization of armed business men and
who have announced their intention OF
going back under protection OF an IN
junction granted by District Judge The
ron Stevens. Capt. Bulkely Wells, whom
Governor Peabody has appointed mill
tary commander of the district, was one
of the leaders OF the party that drove the
union men and their sympathizers out
of the camp. He had said that if the
exiles attempt to return they would be
regarded as characters likely to create
disorder.
Delegates of the coal miners unions
of southern Colorado held convention
at Trinidad yesterday to consider prop
osition to return to work on the terms
in effect when the strike began last fall
William Howells, president Of District
No. Is, United Mine Workers, made
strong statement in which he said thu
action of Governor Peabody in calling on
the militia, and declaring martial Law
was unwarranted by the conditions. Mr.
Howells said that reports of striker
gathering arms were not true.

Another Torment.

A year or two ago humanity was rem
dered uncomfortable by what was termed
the "kissing bug" and now another pest
has appeared in northern cities in the
shape of an etching bug" Many per
sons in Baltimore are now afflicted with
an itching in the palms of the hands
which is superinduced by an insect that
burrows into the flesh. The disease has
become epidemic in the monumental
city. Scientists say the itching-bug Is
a tortoise-shaped animalcule, whose
head is furnished with four pairs OF
mandibles and its four front legs with
tenacious suckers. 1t goes by the ter
rible name of the Acarus scabei, and is
the cause of the affection commonly
known as 'scabies," the 'itch, - or the
itching palm plague. This little crea-
ture. according to the physicians OF the
baltimore and New York hospitals Is
abroad now in uncommonly large num-
hers and is causing much discomfort
among the people. Like the English
sparrow the insect is not confined 10 one
or two cities, and it may fined its way t.
Alexandria.

The Fishing Season.

While few struggling herring have
been caught during the past few days
in this vicinity, but few shad have made
their appearance in the rivers, although
some are being caught in Chesapeake
Bay. A number of gillers from this
city have left for the lower river and
most of the seinehaulers have taken their
stations at the different shores awaiting
the vanguard of the fnny tribe. Fish
town has been prepared for the re-
ceipts. and this morning smoke was
curling from stove pipes which protude
through the roofs of some of the frame
buildings used for packing purposes,
lunch houses, &c. Several vessels were
living at the wharf, while a huge pile oil
small white perch which had arrived
from one of the shores was being culled
and the marketable fish strung into
punches. People operating the shores
this season are apprehensive lest they
fail to procure the necessary help to
handle their seines. This was a serious
drawback last spring. The quagmires
leading to Fishtown are being filled IN
attempts to render to approach to the
place easier than it has been for
many years.
