To get Fletcher Venable, otherwise
known as Diamond, the negro charged
with stabbiag James Hawkins, also
colored, who is now patient in the

Beasley will go over to Washington
tomorrow
The stabbing affray, as reported
in The Capital, took place aboard the
steamer Three Rivers, off Seven
Foot Knoll, while that vessel was
bound from Baltimore to Washington.
The negroes, it is said. were en-
ployed as deckhauds aboard the vessel,
and the trouble was the result of a
quarrel over a pan. Venable STABBED
Hawkins with a penknite, and also
cut him in the back.
The stab wound is a severe one,
near the heart, bet the physicians be-
lieve the negro will recover. Realiz-
ing the condition of the injured man,
the captain of the Three Rivers trans
ferred Hawkins t. the steamer Allan
tic, of the Eastern Shore Steamship
Development Company's line, off
Bloody Point, and bound from Clai-
borne to Annapolis. Venable was
taken to Washington aboard the Three
Rivers and turned over to the police
officials at the National Capital.
AS the trouble took place in Anne
Arundel waters, the local authorities
have jurisdiction over the case.
Hawkins condition is reported today
as improved.

RAINS PLAYED HAVOC
WITH TOMATO CROPS
Ready to be Harvested for Coming
Season But Beaten by Rain.
U. S. S. HARTFORD'S RECORD
Official Rain Cuage Shows 3.96 Inches
Fell on Monday TOday's Fore
cast DiscOuraging.

Unsettled weather: probably
showers tonight or Friday morning;
cooler.
This is the forecast Of the Weather
Bureau which came through official
channels this morning from Washing
ton to Tha Capital Office. This rain.
which began on Monday, and has con-
tinued until today, has no proInise of
a surcease until tomorrow, if then.
More rain is predicted for tonight or
tomorrow morning.
Some roads are flooded, and i'm some
sections of the county are reported
impossible. Several automobiles on
the county roads have been stranded.
At the u. S. S. Hartford, in the
Naval Academy, the headquarters of
the official local weather bureau, the
rain guage on Monday measured 80
(three inches and two tenths of an
inch) as the result of Mondays rain.
On Tuesday odly so (ninety-six hum
dredths of an inch was registered, and
it VISA not possible to get informa.
tion this morning on the amount of
rainfall yesterday.
This is 4. l6 inches of rain in An
napois for Monday and Tuesday, a
heavy rainfall for this section in only
two days The rain played havoc with
the tomato crop, which is about ready
to be harvested for the canning sea
son. Plants were beaten into the soil
and it is feared that many will not
rise sufficiently to permit the green
tomatoes to ripen.
The effect has already been felt at
the canning houses, and agents have
been sent out to see just the amount
of damage done to the crop. Truck
ers also say that the late corn aad
fodder crop has suffered extensively.
Rain WAS reported last night over
Indiana and in the Great Lake re-
gion. and by indications the storm is
working this way. High winds ac-
company the rain. This storm may
reach here, and it may veer off before
it reaches this section of the country.
A high pressure area, bringing with
it clear weather is reported west of
the Mississippi River, but it will be
some days before this can reach here.
This area is at present centered over
Oklahoma.
