HER MISSING SPOUSE
DOWN IN WORKHOUSE
Mrs. Redman, Alarmed at Absence of
Husband, Started the Police
on a Hunt.

With her babe nestled close to her
bosom and a tear-stained countenance,
Mrs. Tilman Redman entered Police
headquarters yesterday and told Of the
disappearance OF her husband. She
said he had been missing from their
home on the Brentwood Road, Md
since Thursday afternoon, and as he
had little money she thought perhaps
he might have gotten mixed up in bad
CON- any or met with foul play on the
road. She gave Detective Pratt a mi
mute description Of her husband. styling
him as handsome and thirty-six years
old.
All OF the precincts in the city were
communicated with but they had not
seen him. Captain Boardman sent men
out, and communicated with the Balti-
more officials, but TO no avail. Just as
he was on the verge OF tipping Off the
Harbormaster, and asking that the river
be dredged, he received information from
the Intendant of the workhouse. telling
OF the Incarceration there of Redman. on
a charge Of being drunk and disorderly
Redman said he was content to remain
where he is for a while.

Yorkshire, England, and was brought to
Virginia from that family seat of the
Washingtons, in 1867, by Col. John
Washington, the great-grandfathe OF
Gen. Washington, a colonel in Prince
Rupert's army. The glass was used on
feast days and celebrations by the Wash
ington family, both in Yorkshire and in
Virginia, and was prominent feature
in the christening of George Washing
ton, at the family dinner given by Mrs.
Mildred Washington Gregory, the aunt
and godmother of Gen. Washington, on
the 9Th day of April, 1882. At this his
toric dinner it was from this wine glass
that Augustin Washington, the father
of George Washington, not only drank,
but with it proposed long life, success
and happiness for his son George"
In later years it was used by Gen.
Washington himself at a dinner given
to him in Fredericksburg, Va, in 1881.
During the period from 1882, the year
of the christening and the dinner after
the fall of English forces in America in
1881, the glass was continually used on
state occasions at the Washington seat
in Westmoreland county, the birthplace
of Gen. Washington, and in Stafford
county, opposite Fredericksburg, on the
Rappahannock river, where Mrs. Martha
Washington resided.
This relic descended from Mrs. Mil
bred Washington Gregory to DR.. Forbes.
her reat-great-grandson.
The only occasion on which this glass
has ever been out of the possession OF
DR.. Forbes, who came into the possess
sion of it in 1859, was when Gen. Lucius
II. Warren took it to the centennial cell
ebration of the battle of Bunker Hill, In
Boston, Mass, in 1875. at the time of the
unwilling of the Bunker Hill monument.
The probable final resting place Of this
glass will be at Mount Vernon, where.
at the present time, the only suit of
clothes in existence that Gen. Washing
ton wore was deposited By the late John
Murray Forbes, of Innes Hill. Farquir
county, Va, the eldest brother Of Dr..

the unfair fand uugenerons treatment
accorded Judge Faulkner by the dem
ocratie managers of Jefferson county
In what is regarded here as deter
mined effort to secure the nomina-
ton for one of the candidates from
that section OF the circuit. The rule
adopted bv the executive committee of
Jefferson was not clearly understood
here until recently, and the feeling
against the candidates who are be-
lieved to be party to it is fgrowing
stronger every dav. However, the
action of the Jefferson county people
has had the effect of solidifying tho
friends of the Berkeley county jurist
who is very popular in Morgan county
and they have rallied to his support
in manner that cannot help but be
gratifying to him. Judge Faulkner
will not only receive the nomination.,
but will get the biggest vote he ever
received from Morgan county.
