Thai Attachment Cai*.
Wednesday morning a friend of Mr.
Charles A. Whalen called at the RE
PUBLICAN office and gave the follow
ing more detailed and full account of
the dirticu tv that led S. B. Morrell to
attach $2 or flic wages of Mr. Whalen
in the hands of the proprietors of the
Arlington Mills, where he had been em
ployed until about a week ago.
He says that about five years a„
both Morrell and Whalen were friends
and lived in the city of Baltimore. It
happened that, both were leaving Balti
more on the same train the same day
for a little jaunt in the country, ami
both by accident met at Camden station
in Baltimore, Whalen bound for a
visit to the town of Guilford, in Howard
Comity, and Morrell for a camp meet
ing in the same county.
Both were hound for the same station,
reached, Morrell proposed
to Whalen that he accompany him to
the camp meeting, an invitation which
Whalen accepted. There being no ac
commodations for visitors at the camp
at night, Whalen proposed to hire a
team to take Morrell to Guilford to stay
all night.Morrell proposed for both togo
to the Relay House,a short distauce off,
hut Whalen for reasons of his own, be
ing a young and single man, insisted on
joing to Guilford, and also because he
lad not money enough along to pay
his way at a large hotel.
Morrell says: " Come on, I'll foot the
bill." Whaleu then gave in and ac
companied Morrell to the hotel, where
hey remained all night. A short, time
afterward Morrell asked Whalen for
tiie $2, which lie refused *o pay for the
that he considered it an act of
friendship. About- two years after
ward Whalen removed,with his mother,
to this city, and found employment in
the Arlington mills.
Morrell came afterwards and found
employment in some mill and hoarded
with Whalen's mother several months,
hut never said anything about, tieduct
ing the $2 in dispute when they came to
|>ay their hoard hill. Nothing more was
said about the bill until about a week
ago, when Whalen gave notice that he
only then that
Morrell thought- about his two dollars,
and which Whalen says he would
er have thought of or entered suit for
without unfriendly advice from per
sons from whom better things should
he expected.

A Quarantine.

tion of establishing a quarantine, and
said that they had the power to prevent
vessels from infected ports coining with

ed this subject, ami proposes to agitate
it until the people see the absolute
ity ot its establishment, and ask
in such unmistakable terms that
the authorities will grant it without
hesitation.
A quarantine is an absolute necessity
at this time, but it seems like folly
to talk about, the Port Physician attend

The young man who could get out of
