and Washington, we're put ashore at
{LeoDerdiowp, Md, Tuesday night. They
are held at that place on charges prefer

ton with q razor. The trouble starle
shortly after the steamer had left Dalti-
more. Charges Of obstructing the mail

The officers of the sesmer say that a
negro sleyedOre named Arthur Campbell
came on deck in a drunken condition
and in ugly mood. When the com
mandjag officer ordered him TO be ironed
and the second officer attempted to carry
oIt he distractions of his superior, the
man ia said to have drawn razor and

rRAMPs MARCH TO THE SOUTH

{ Many tramps, on their annual march
40 the southland, are reported TO be
passing through. this city. Up to the
present time, however, but comparatively
'few have applied to the station house
for nights lodging as is usually their
custom when in this city. 1t is said that
sIme of The itinerants have camps in
the extreme southwestern section of the
city, and 1t is frequent occurrence to
be .'held up" for either the price of q
nights lodging or something to eat.
Within a comparatively short time, it is
bel eyed. this city will have its fall COM
p.ement Of these nomRds. and 1t has
been suggested that the best plan to
make these people give the city wide
berth is to lot it be known that sll tramps
captured in the city, whether soliciting
aims or mol, will be sent to Jail subject
to the chain gang. As there is an
abundance of work, labor being scarce
in almost every section of the country,
there is absolutely no occasion for any
one who is willing to work 10 be without
employment.
