.11 a jo r Iturgess Agfa in.
A Washington special says: The Mary?
land Military rmd Naval Academy nt Ox?
ford, which has achieved such unenviable
notoriety of late, is no more, and it3 ex
superintendent, "Major" Burgess, is now in
hiding. Major George A. Armes, United
States army (retired), who a short time ago
purchased the. institution has arrived in this
city after closing the school and providing
for the transfer of the remaining pupils to
other academies. Ko has employed two
detectives, who are now scouring tho coun?
try in search of the ex-superintendent, who
is wanted on a dozen charges of swindling.
Tho career of Burgess, us related by Major
Armes, is unique in its way. Some years
ago he developed a passion for founding
educational institutions, with a strong par?
tiality for military and naval features. He
organized a military academy in a small
town in Georgia, but after incurring liabili?
ties amounting to several thousand dollars
quietly disappeared. He next established
the school at Oxford, and after engaging a
corps of assistants embracing several gradu?
ates from West l'oint and ADnapolis, be
secured as pupils th<? sons of a large
number of Congressmen and wealthy peo?
ple of New York, and other prominent peo?
ple. Tuition and board-bills were uniformly
payable in advance. Burgess claimed that
the academy was conducted under the aus?
pices of the State, and issued a circular in
which the Congressmen referred to and sev?
eral Senators appear as a "'board of visitors."
Major Armes says Burgess then made an ex?
tended tour of small eastern cities, ordering
large quantities of goods shipped to the
academy. These he reshipped in the ori?
ginal package, consigned to bis brother, who
had rented a storehouse in a neighboring
town, and managed to dispose of them. The
bills for tho goods were all sent to the acade?
my and paid by check. Armes wus induced
to purchuse the institution in February last,
and after making the transfer Burgess disap?
peared. Within thirty days over a hundred
of the worthless drnfts were protested and
returned to the academy. Arme^ says he
has reason to believe the returns ure not all
in yet, but thinks Burgess's operations must
have netted him at least $50,000. A number
of judgments for frauds committed in Geor?
gia have been levied on the Oxford property,
and Armes has surrendered everything and
returned to Washington. He says that the
complaints made by the teachers and pupils
as to the poor accommodations, &c, were
caused by tbo straitened circumstances in
which he was placed by the rascality of
Burgess."
I Maj. Burgess is well known in this city
where he lived at various times. The hot
evening be paralyzed the city by removing
the hatches from a vessel loaded with ?3I1
"chum" nili long be remembered.|
Riot at a Christening.?A bloody riot
occurred Sunday night between rival Swedes,
Polesand Hungarians,at Denver,Col.,which
resulted in the fatal shooting ot one man
and the serious wounding of several others.
Mr. aed Mrs. Knaudo, rivals of their neigh?
bors, prepared to celebrate the christening
of an 8 mouth3 old child. They had invited
a number of their friends aud laid in a sup?
ply of beer. The Knaudo crowd reached
an advanced state of intoxication by mid?
night, and one part of them, going out on
the pavement at that hour, accidentally met
a number from another house, situated not
over ten or fifteen rods away. A fight im?
mediately ensued. The Knaudo crowd, re
enforced from those inside, drove them in?
to their den. where the wildest scene took
place. Chairs, tables, and bedsteads were
broken up, and the pieces were used as wea?
pons with which the men pounded one an?
other over the head. Many were knocked
senseless and trampled under foot until
nearly dead. After a bitter fight the
Knaudo crowd were driven into their house
where the same scene took place. Several
shots were fired, and a Pole named Kibort
itch was fatally shot, and others seriously
wounded. A squad of policemen, armed
with Winchesters, surrounded the house,
and arrested thirty of the crowd after a show
of resistance.
Moke Time for Collectobs of State
Taxes?The bill allowing treasurers and
collectors more time for the collection of
state taxes recently passed by the legisla?
ture has been signed by the governor and is
now a law. It provides that all treasurers
and collectors of taxes due the state shall
be allowed uotil the 1st day ot September,
1SS7, to make their final settlements with
the auditor on account of realand personal
property for the year 1SSC, such extension,
however, not to apply to taxes already col?
lected. The auditor of public accounts iB
authorized to issue his warrants on the 3tate
treasury in favor of county or city treasurers
lor the pay of teachers of public schools,
when there is not enough of state funds in
tha hands of such officers to meet these pay
j ments. Treasurers are required to pay in to
i the auditor on the 1st day of each month all
moneys received by them on account of the
state for the preceding month. The delin?
quent list shall be made out as soon as prac?
ticable after the 1st September, lSS7,but not
before.

Fight in a Court Room.?There was a
scene yesterday afternoon in the criminal
court of Washington entirely unexpected.
The caBe was that of Jame3 H. and
Maud E. Kell, who sought to se?
cure the custody of their is months old
child from its grandmother, who resisted
the demand on the ground that she had
cared for it since its birth. Mr. C. C. Cole
appeared for the petitioners, Hon. J. Am?
bler Smith for the respondents, and Justice
ETagner sat at the hearing. During the ar?
gument of Mr. Smith ho made statements
reflecting on the character of Mr. Aldricb,
which aroused the ire of the latter. Justice
Hiicner had hardly directed the child to be
delivered to the parents and passed from
the court room when Mr. Aldrich approach?
es Mr. Smith and demanded nn apology for
the language used. Mr. Smith refused,and
iu the controversy which followed struck at
Mr. Aldricb, whereupon that gentleman
returned the coroplime-ui in a similar move,
which was followed by several biowe, and
other parti's taking a bund in it, resulted
in Mr. Smith being thrown over ou a table.
The bailiffs then interfered, and the scrim?
mage was brought, to a close.
