Norfolk, Va, Aug. 23.-The Federal gov
ernment has taken hand in the recent
rioting on the Eastern Shore to the ex-
tent Of investigating the firing on tha
stage coach. II is said that the coach
carried United States mail and the gov
ernment is interested on that ground
The interests Of the government in the
case have been placed in the hands Of
Post-office Inspector Matthews. and that
officer is hard at work He was here to-
day and had a lengthy interview in the
city jail with J. D. UzzeH, the negro edi-
tor who Is alleged to have been one of
those who instigated the firing on the
coach.
Face IA Serious Charge.
Should the identity of those who did the
firing or who may have instigated It be
found out. the Federal government will
probably deal harshly with them. Firing
on a mail coach is no small matter to
Uncle Sam. Inspector Matthews would
say nothing as to any evidence he may
have obtained, or anything about the
course the government may pursue.

A VERY PRETTY SOUTHERN PLAY
"Under Southern skies" Presented Al The
Colonial Theatre"

Although il was wintry last night
on the outside of the Colonial Theatre,
it was summer inside and the play
Under Southern Skies casta warmth
over a good-sized audience and with
its cheeriness dispelled the gloom of
the Klondike weather without.
The play is a pretty four-act drama
by the author of Way Down East
and, although the playwright alone
had been advertised in the ad vance
"stock copy the participants in the
cast are worthy of some eonsidera-
tion. The stage settings were very
pretty and the Hallow en- celebration
and pumpkin dance was especially
fetching. The scene is laid in South
ern Louisiana during 1875 and the
players have that peculiar Southern
twang somewhat exaggerated) where
KANT is used for cant, dawg, for dog
and all for /.
The heroine. Miss Mabel Trunnelle,
was very winsome and pleasing and
the hero, Mr.. George j. Morgan, a
typical matinee idol. All the charac-
ters were we'll taken, especially those
of the darkies, Anne Elizer (Miss
HID Phiney, Miss Chase), Uncle
Joshaway, (Mr. Livingston) and Aunt
Doshey Miss Congdon.)
The costumes were quaint and pretty
and Southern melodies were introduced
with great effect. The play has its
light and sadder moments, its gay and
sombre phases and was produced last
night by a capable cast.

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
MATTER OF RAILROAD CROSS,
INGS CONSIDERED.
The Board Calls IN All Paper Represent.
ing The Floating Debt Of
The County.

Messrs. George Weems Williams and
G.. +. Gladfelter. of Baltimore, and
Robert Moss, of Annapolis, were be-
fore the County Commissioners today
in reference TO certain crossings which
the Washington, Baltimore and An-
napolis sl ctric Railway Company,
which they represent, wish to make
over certain public roads in the Fourth
and Fifth districts Of this county,
the section contiguous TO Baltimore
city. The matter of the crossings has
become q much discussed question in
the section.
The Company desires 10 eliminate
all grade crossings along its road and
has proposed plans to the County Com
misisoners both TO carry the railway
ped over the public road or TO carry
the public road over the railway. Mono
Of the plans submitted have been ac-
copied by the Commissioners, but the
matter has been referred to Commits
sionors A.. A. Shipley, of the Fifth
district, and James $. Smith, of the
Fourth district. These Commission
ers will confer with the representa-
tives Of the Company at public meet
ings which will be held on Monday
next, and TO which all persons inter-
ested are invited
The residents of the section oppose
the plans so far offered by the repre-
sentatives of the Company on the
ground that the grades OF the public
roads which would result are too
steep and would result in necesistat-
ing the carrying OF smaller loads to
market. II Is also feared that the
roads will not be put i'm order in time
for the spring hauling, which is very
large along the roads in question. The
roads where the crossings are TO be
made are the main arteries Of traffic
between the rich trucking section of
Anne Arundel county and Baltimore
city.
The main crossings are at Pumph-
rey's, Van Beuren Smith IS Hill, Ham
mond's Ferry Road and other places
in the Fifth district, and Clark S
Cross Roads in the Fourth district.
The public meeting of all persons i'm
terested will be held at Van Beuren
Smith Hill at n. M. and at Clark S
Cross Roads at p. m. The Board
directed the calling in of all paper
representing the floating indebtedess
for the county for the years 1904, 1905
and 1906 upon the fifteenth Of this
month. The debts will be payable on
that day, the funds being procured
from the sale of the late issue OF bonds
to the amount Of $3.50, 900. There is
also some paper issued during the
present year, the bonds not having
been sold at that time. However,
none OF il bears interest until after
January /, 1908. and it is believed
that funds will be in hand by that
time sufficient TO meet IL.
