THE NATIONAL REGATTA.
Prospects of Havluc It Rowed on the Po
tomac. It may now be regarded as a settled
fcet that the next regatta of the National Amateur
Rowing Association will take place in this city on
the Potomac. Some time ago it was intimated by
the executive committee of the National Associa
tion that if it was desired that the next regatta
should be held in tbis city, and the necessary in
ducements as to expenses and transportation were
satisfactorily arranged, the committee was favor
ably inclined to selecting the Potomac for its next
races. Upon the strength of these representations
the Analostan Boat Club held a meetingsome weeks
ego and appointed a committee of three to confer
with similar committees tobeappoiutedbythe To
toraac and Clumbia Club: This joint committee of
nine have held several meetings and have mapped
out a plan of operations which will enable them to
meet all the requirements of the executive com
mittee of the National Amateur Rowing Associa
tion and secure the location of the next regatta
st Washington. This much is regarded as assured
from the recent correspondence between the com
mittees. Already methods have been devised to
raise the necessary funds, and it is expected that
the regatta will take place about the 10th of Sep
tember next over a course to be selected on the
Potomac From letters received by the committee
it is evident that the selection of Washington
meets with the general approval of rowing
men all over the country. Assurances
have already been received that clubs from
Portland, He., Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Norfolk, Savannah, New Orleans, and
Galveston, as well as from many of the cities on
the great lakes, will be here.
It is proposed that thercgatta proper shall occupy
three days, and efforts are now being made which
promise to be successful to induce Hanlan, Ross,
Plaisted and Kennedy to select the same course
sad lime for their great double scull race for the
championtbip of the world, which, with other
attractions, would fill out the week.
CORRECTING' HISTORY
HOW THE TWO REBEL SPIES DIED.
Another Eje-WItncss Giies an Interesting Account
of the Capture and Hanging of Colonel
Iwllliamg and Lieutenant Peter, of
the District of Columbia.
Referring to the remarkable article
published in The Republican of the 5th instant,
from the pen of Colonel Prosser, relative to the
military arrest and execution of Colonel William
Orton Williams and Lieutenant Walter Gibson Pe
ter as spies, at Franklin, Tenn., in June, 1863, Dr.
Wilson Hobbs, late surgeon of the Eighty-fifth
Indiana Regiment, writes fromKnightstown, Ind.,
as follows : " This is the first detail of all the facts
in this tragic occurrence ever published, and the
only accountsoiar as I know, except a statement
whichlmadeatthetimeto the Nashville Timet,
and which was copied by most of the newspapers
on this continent and in Europe. Harper's Weekly
of July 5, 1863, published thisletter.withafullpage
illustration of the execution, drawn by a sol
dier of the Seventy-eighth Illinois Regiment.
I am surprised at the accuracy with which the
writer has stated the facts in this case, so long a
time having intervened, unless he were, like my
self, an eye-witucss to them all. He has, how
ever, fallen into some errors in his statement,
which it is the purpose of this communication to
correct First, he says: 'Just as they were passing
out of the fort' (Granger) ' Colonel Louis D. Wat
kins, of the Sixth Kentucky Cavalry, entered on
horseback, followed only by an orderly. As he
passed Williams he caught a glimpse of the side of
his face, and a consciousness of recognition came
over him, though he could not at once determine
or locate the individual who had attracted his at
tention. Coming up to Colonel Baird, who was
near at hand, he inquired
WHO TIIE HEX WEEE
he met coming into the fort Colonel Baird re
plied, 'They are inspecting officers of tb United
States army who have been making us a visit
Colonel AYatkins remarked, ' I think there must
be some mistake about this. I think I recognize
one ot these men as an old army officer now in the
confederate army.' (My paper is torn and de
faced, but I think the quotation is quite or nearly
correct.) ily remembrance is that Colonel Wat
kins was in the fort when these strangers arrived,
or came soon afterward, and that he had all the
opportunities to determine who they were that
Colonel Baird had. Neither Colonel Baird norCol
onel Vt'atkinit had any suspicion of their
true character until they were mounted
and struck their horses with spurs to .depart.
I have often heard Colonel Baird say that
when their horses' heels struck into the air the
thought came like a thunderbolt that they
were spies, and he immediately turned to
Colonel Watkins and ordered them brought back.
My statements are supported by the fact that Wil
liams and Peter were overtaken by Colonel Wat
kins just at the bridge where the railroad crosses
the highway south of the Harpeth, les3 than one
quarter of a mile from Colonel Baird's tent. The
race was too short at the sweeping pace the rebels
were fleeing to have allowed a capture at this
point with the delay the circumstances related by
Colonel Prosser would necessarily have occasioned.
Again, Colonel Williams gave it as a reason that
he did not fire upon Colonel Watkins when halted,
and by this means have made their escape, that
he knew Colonel Watkins, and, knowing him, he
did not wish to kill him. It is not likely that he
risked his life thus upon a recognition
MADE BY A PASSIXG GLANCE.
Again, after Colonel Baird sent his mesage of
inquiry to General Garfield at Murfreesboro', and
before the order to try them by court-martial came
to hand, a period of two or three hours intervened.
During this time Messrs. Williams and Peter were
prisoners in Colonel Baird's tent, which was sur
rounded by a very strong guard. This interval
was spent in conversation, chiefly between Col
onels Watkins and Williams, in relation to persons
and affairs about Washington, in the various
attempts of the former to identify the latter, who
made many bold ventures to conceal himself.
When too closely pursued Colonel Williams would
reply, 'You will know all about it after a while,'
by which it was evident that he expected the or
der for court-martial and full exposure of the
truth. All that Colonel Watkins' most searching
inquiries developed prior to the court-martial was
that these gentlemen were from Washington that
Colonel miliams had been, if he was not then, In
the regular army, and the suspicion of their not
being what their papers made them was only
strengthened by the fact of their endeavors to con
ceal themselves. Colonel Watkin3 made no claim,
I am very sure, that he had over before seen either of
the strangers, but was greatly surprised that he
could not recognize and place them.
TniS CORRECTION IS IMPORTANT
only in the-fact that the credit of the discovery of
the true character of thestrangers maybe properly
placed. The writer of the article places the first
thought of danger and suspicion to the credit of
Colonel Watkins. My knowledge is that it belongs
wholly to Colonel Baird. Both these gentlemen
are now dead Colonel Watkins fell with his
armor on before the close of the war; Colonel
Baird yesterday (March 8, 1881), in the Indiana
hospital for the insane, after many years of suffer
ing but history should be true to them notwith
standing. Colonel Prosser states again that after
the arrest Colonel Watkins took the prisoners to
his own quarters, and that Colonel Baird went
over there to meet them; again examined their
papers, and afterward their stvords, &c. In this he
Is certainly wrong. I am very sure Colonel Baird did
not leave his own tent, but that as soon as
Colonel Watkins had procured a guard in his own
camp he went with the prisoners to Colonel
Baird's tent at the fort. No such indignity was
offered them as to draw their swords from their
scabbards, or demand the uncovering of their heads
until the court-martial was convened. Here the
testimony of the swords and dress was demanded
and taken this wise: Colonel Baird asked them
to stand up and be examined. They submitted
to the inevitable without hesitation. My remem
brance is that Colonel Baird first drew the sword
of Lieutenant Peter and found it etched ' W. G.
Peter, P. A. C.S. A.' Ilis was returned to its place,
and Colonel Williams' in like manner uncovered.
IT EXPOSED THE NAME
and was marked ' Shilob,' with some distinguish
ing rebel mark i hich I do not now remember. Up
to this time they had not uncovered their heads in
our presence. Thej wore caps, covered with white
havelocks, which fully concealed the cap and
covered the shoulder Colonel Baird demanded
their caps, which, when stripped of the havelocks,
proved of the confederate pattern. The caps were
then returned to them. During this proceeding
no word had been spoken. Colonel Baird then ad
dressed them in these words: 'Gentlemen, this
was damned well played.' Colonel Williams re
plied: 'Yes, and it came damned near being a
success." The difference of personal courage of
the two men mentioned by the writer of the article
of the 5th instant I do not now remember. My
recollection is that the Lieutenant met his fate with
as much resoultion and bravery as the Col
onel. They embraced each other very ten
derly, but I heard no words spoken, although
I was not more than twenty feet distant, and
it was my business to observe all that occurred.
The only words spoken at the place of execution
were the expression of thanks by Colonel Wil
liams to Colonel Baird for the respect he had
shown them in having the guard reverse their
arms. Colonel Prosser did not mention in his
statement regarding the disposition of the re
mains for burial ; that they were encoffined with
ropes still upon their necks, having been cut ten
or twelve inches above theliead. Nor docs he
say that two or three hours after the burial the
bodies were disinterred for further search, with
the hope that papers concealed in their clothing
might be found which would clear up
THE MYSTERY OF THE TRAGEDY.
This search, however, was fruitless, there being
only found three confederate notes, which were
hid in Colonel Williams' cap. Two of these were
two dollar bills and one five-dollar bill. The
five-dollar bill is still in my- possession. I can
fully corroborate the statements of the writer in
relation to the trepidation of Colonel Baird at the
thought of having to execute these men. A short
time before the receipt of the second dispatch from
General Garfield I retired to my tent and laid down
to take some rest. A few. minutes afterward Col
onel Baird came to me and said : Hobbs, what in
the name of God shall I do? General Rosecrans
says : Try these men by drum-head court-martial,
and if found guilty, hang them immediately.' I
replied: 'Colonel Baird, there is "but one
thing to be done; we must execute the order
of the commanding General, however revolting
the duty may be.' We came near an escape from
the execution of this order, however, in a way
that is not related by Colonel Prober, the writer.
At the same time that Colonel Baird communicated
with General Rosecrans at Murfreesboro' by tele
graph he also sent dispatches to General Gordon
Granger, who was our corps commander, then at
Triune, Tenn., by tho flag signal corps, and but a
short time after the execution he received an order
from General Granger to send the prisoners to him.
This was too late to save us from the sad duty, or
to give these miserable men another chance for
their lives. Possibly, had there been less delay in
our communication with corps headquarters, the
course of justice, as estimated and administered
by the code of war, would have been less speedy
and more relenting."

to seeing the meeting in the depot between Mrs.
Christiancy and Giro, on the 24th of December;
also, that they separated there and went in differ
ent directions; also, that Mrs. Christiancy was ac
companied by a young lady at the time. On the
following day, the 25th, the witness did not see
Giro until about six o'clock in the evening, and he
was then at the St. James Hotel. Giro took a car
riage and went off. The witness followed the hack
and saw It stop at No. 311 D street northwest, and a
man got out and entered the house. At" about
eight o'clock the same evening he saw Giro again
at the St James Hotel. The examination, which
lasted only a short time, was not concluded, and
will be resumed to-day.

pears probable at the present time that the follow

When the conference assembled this morning
the report of the committee on the Frcedman's
Aid Society was then presented to the conference.
By order of tho General Conference, the poor white
class were also includedin the distribution of the
funds of this society, who, without any fault of
their own, have been left without the simple rudi
ments of an education. In view of thegreat needs
of the society It has recommended that $125,000 be
raised by the whole church. The assessment
made upon the Baltimore Conference forthls cause
last year was 81,500 nnd receipts-were ?S1G.16. The
conference was recommended to place itself upon
record as fully agreeing with the high purposes
and aims of this society.
Messrs. Griffith and Baker, of the Maryland Sun
day School Union, addressed a respectful letter de
siring to know specificaUy what were the objec
tions really made agaiubt that organization. It
was referred to the Sunday-school committee for
a reply.
The report of the committee on
SABBATH OBSERVANCE
lamented the growing tendency of the times to
ignore the moral obligations of this divine insti
tution by failing to observe the fourth eammand
ment, viz.: " In it thou shalt do no manner of
work." They most heartily indorsed the effort
of several camp-meeting associations to maintain
a proper observance of the Sabbath, and hoped
that all such institutions would emulate the exam
ple of those who had already acted. The report
was adopted.
In the report of the committee on tracts and
Sunday-schools it was recommended that Meth
odist help in the International lessons, as well as
the lessons themselves, should be used, as they
were well adapted to the needs of our Sunday
schooLs, but that the teaching of the Catechism, as
the Discipline requires, should not be neglected ;
that great care should be taken in the selection of
proper books for the Sunday-school libraries. As
the Conference sustains no relation to the Mary
land Sunday-School Union, they recommended
that all the collections should be appropriated to
the support of our own Sunday-School Union.
The committee on education reported that
8419.53 had been collected, and by motion of Rev.
Dr. W. S. Edwards the Conference ordered it to be
sent to the treasurer of Dickinson College. The
Rev. Dr. J. O. Clark, of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, was introduced to the Conference,
and addressed the ministers concerning the Me
morial Church to John Wesley, at Savannah, Ga.,
now partially erected.
The steward's report of conference claimants
was adopted. About 38,745 in claims were allowed,
and collection to meet the claims was SG,132, or
about sixty-eight per cent of the amount.
On motion of Rev.J.W. Whecler.a vote of thanks
was passed by the Conference to the Mount Vernon
Place M. E. Church, Baltimore, Md., for the pro'
ceeds of a concert held there for the benefit of the
above collection. The Conference requested that
the Rev. A.W. Rudisill prepare a memoir of the
Rev. T. S. Hardin, just deceased. At ten a. m. the
ME3IORIAL SERVICE
of the ministers and widows who died during the
year were introduced by the Bishop announcing
the 979th hymn, "Asleep in Jesus; blessed sleep."
Rev. Joel Brown read the obituary of Rev. Charles
Cleave, and Rev. A. H. Ame3 performed the same
office forthe late Rev. James Bunting, of St Mary's
County, Md. Rev. Joel Brown read a. memoir of
Mrs. S. S. Webster, the wife of Rev. J. G. G. Web
ster, a secretary of the Conference. The commit
tee on memoirs was requested to prepare notices
of the deaths of Mrs. Hyson, Mrs. McCartney and
Mrs. Larkin, to be printed in the minutes. Rev. A.
S. Hank delivered a plain, practical and car
nest missionary sermon from Luke xxiv, 46 and 47.
The committee on missionary contributions re
ported that the following amounts had been re
ceived from each district, viz: Baltimore, 87,783.07;
East Baltimore, SG.OSG.GS ; West Baltimore, 85,099.76 ;
Washington, 83,947.96, and Cumberland, 81,711.87,
the total being 82 1,632.31, an increase over last year
ofSl.240.29.
The Rev. E. E. Anderson was granted a location
at his own request
The Rev. R. E. Bishop, on account of general
failing of health, requested a supernumerary rela
tion, with work for one year, and it was granted.
The case of Rev. George Cecil, who desired a
supernumerary relation, was postponed until to
morrow. The committee on tho Baltimore City Mission
and Church Extension Society reported that though
the work had not been specially pursued for a few
years, yet there was a necessity for such an organi
zation by which the masses of the people who
never attend church might be reached. Rev. S. H.
Cummings had been engaged in the undenomina
tional work of a similar character, by which many
souls had been converted and much good done
Pending the discussion of tho report of public.!
tion of the Baltimore JTetliodist as a weekly paper,
the Conference adjourned.
The Rev. J. O. Clarke, Savannah, Ga., gave a
free lecture at three p. m., in which John Wesley,
the founder of Methodism, was highly eulogized,
as the greatest reformer since Martin Luther.
This evening a lame and enthusiastic temper

the benefits of local option and prohibition were
earnestly and eloquently pleaded by the Revs. J.

FARN HAM'S CASE.
Broker Campbell's Connection With It
Another Talk With Official.
Farnham, the ,ex-board of audit clerk,
who has confessed to having abstracted about 811,
000 or canceled sewer certificates from the board
of audit office, had another interview with the
District Commissioners yesterday. Nothing was
elicited beyond what was stated by Farnham in
his confession published in The Republican yes
terday morning. The purpose of the talk was to
determine if possible how far the District
is responsible for losses which persons have suf
fered through the circulation of these worthless
certificates. Farnham is still at Police Headquar
ters, though he is not detained as a prisoner.
Mr. G. W. Lamer has made an affidavit, in which
he say?: "Referring to the alleged confession
of George H. Farnham, published in the morning
papers, I desire, in justice to myself and Peter
Campbell, whose names are mentioned as having
received some of the bonds, alleged to have been
stolen by Farnham, that he never told me, nor in
anyway intimated to me, that the bonds were
stolen by Farnham or any one else, or that there
was anything crooked about them. I received at
onetime from Farnham 81,400 in bonds, and sold
them to Peter Campbell at forty cents on the dol
lar. It was a bona fide transaction on my part
and that of Campbell's. I had no intimation from
any source that the bonds were stolen, nordidl say
or intimate any such thing to Campbell. The state
ment of Farnhani, as published, so far as it relates
to his alleged conversation with me in relation to
the bonds, and my alleged conversation about
Campbell is wholly false. On the contrary, Farn
ham told me at the time that the bonds he let me
have he got from New York. There was nothing
about the bonds or the transaction to create any
suspicion in my mind of anything wrong or
'crooked,' and I had no such information or sus
picion." Normal CInsseB to be 31cltl.
The Sunday-school Union held its reg
ular monthly meeting at the chapel of the Young
Men's Christian Association, Mr. John B. Wight in
the chair and H. K. Simpson secretary. The prin
cipal business before the meeting was the taking
of final action on the holding of a series of normal
class meetings under the leadership of Rev. Mr.
Hurlburt, of Plainfield, N. J. It was finally de
cided to inaugurate such a series, the expenses of
the undertaking being S150, which will be covered
by the sale of COO tickets at twenty-five cents each.

Sainz a. Kail road Company.
John F. Peyton yesterday, through his
counsel, Messrs. Merrick and Mattingly, entered
suit against the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad
Company, claiming 820,000 damages. The plainUfl
alleges that he was an employee of the Virginia
Midland Railroad Company, and on the ISth of
November was on a train in the discharge of his
duty, when, through negligence, an engine of the
defendants collided with the train, caught the
plaintiff between the platforms, whereby he was
seriously injured and crippled.
AMUSEMENTS THIS WEEK.
Pcabody Orchestra, the Three Theatres,
and Blind Tom.
Lincoln Hall was well filled last night
with a most cultivated audience, embracing nearly
all of our local musicians and those who have edu
cated musical tastes, to listen to the first subscrip
tion concert this season by the Peabody Orchestra,
under the auspices of the Athenaium Club, of this
city. The large attendance, the character of the
audience, the close attention given, and the dis
criminating applause evidenced the extent and
degree of musical culture in this city, and showed
how large a number appreciated the efforts of
the club in providing entertainmects restricted to
the rendition of the highest character of musical
composition. The Peabody Orchestra, while not
so large as the organization over which the match
less Thomas wields the baton, is composed of first
class musicians, and, under the skillful direction
and instruction of Anger Hamerik, has
reached a point of excellence that can hardly be
surpassed. The instruments arc well balanced
and the members execute in perfect precision,
time, and harmony. The programme last night
embraced selections from the master com
posers during the period from 175G to
183G, and was as follows : Mozarf s symphony in
G minor, scena and cavatina from Meyerbeer's
opera of "II Crociato in Egitto," the vecal solo by
Miss Henrietta Alice Hunt; Beethoven's violin
concerto in D major, the solo being executed by
Mr. Fritz Gaul and the minuet and scherzo by
Emil Hartman. While each number was
thoroughly .pleasing and attractive, perhaps the
most satisfactory was Beethoven's concerto, which
was filled with a wealth of melody and an abun
dance of harmony, which only that giant mind
that more than any other composer understood the
full possibilities of an orchestra could present
The rendition of the solo by Mr. Gaul proved that
gentleman's thorough mastery of the violin, and
his finished and correct method and "brilliant ex
ecution were justly applauded. Miss Hunt dis
played a soprano voice of superior culture and
power, and was most favorably received. The
next concert in the series will take place on the
29th instant.
HIUON xobi.es the pnessrx.
Mr. Milton Nobles, a gentleman who has won his
way into recognition by indomitable perseverance,
presented his play entitled "The Phoenix" at
Ford's Opera House last night The piece, whflo
it is of the most sensational character, affords an
opportunity for some good acting, and Mr. Nobles
himself, in the respective roles of Carrol Grata
and Jim Bludio indicates the possession of decided
talent. "His company is peculiarly adapted to the
play, and all contribute to its success. Miss Dolly
Woolwine, the leading lady, shows considerable
dramatic ability, while in addition she possesses
graces of person and manner that make her at
once a favorite. "The Phoenix " will be repeated
to-night and to-morrow night, and at the matinee
to-morrow.
NATIONAL THEATRE " TOE TOURISTS."
"The Tourists" again appeared at the National
Theatre last evening, and were welcomed by a
good-sized audience. There have been some
changes since the company were last here, and
those decidedly for the better. The fun is continu
ous and the laughter hilarious during the entire
action of the piece. The burlesque scene from
"II Trovatore," with which the second act closes,
is well worked up, and shows the musical capacity
of the members of the troupe most effectively.
The quartette "Our Choir" is exceedingly well
rendered, and tne imitations by Will H. Bray, the
Jodel by Miss Reifferth, the Wetlern. Union Telegraph
Boy, are all loudly encored. " The Tourists " will
take their amusing trip every night during the
week, and on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons.
THEATRE COSHQUE.
The reappearance of Mr. George C. Charles
at the Comique last night showed how great a
favorite that gentleman has become in this city.
His drama, with the highly sensational title of the
"Skeleton Hand," is filled with startling incidents
and is above the average productions of its class.
The specialty performers Frank McNish, the
Lelaud Sisters, Healey and Saunders, Alfred Lis
ton, Joe Miller, W. H. Dauvers, P. M. Allison, and
others arc all superior performers In their several
acts and all have their special admirers. The
regular stock company is large and efficient, and
the whole entertainment is fully equal to that pre
sented by any similar establishment in the country.
BUND TOM.
The success of Blind Tom in this city has induced
him to prolong his stay for three nights, and he
may be listened to at Odd Fellow's Hall up to and
including Wednesday night. Aside from the in
terest that attaches to his performances on account
of his infirmity, he has acquired a mastery over the
piano that is truly remarkable, and he executes
with equal facility the most sparkling dance
mil-tic and also the severest classical compositions
of the great masters.
A BAFFLED CONSTABLE.
An Cxcitluc autl Anniiltij; Scene on Penn
sylvania Avenue.
One of the most conspicuous officers of
the law in the District is a constable named Ho
ratio R. Maryman, who has become well known
for the extreme measures to which he resorts in
executing the law and the bull-dog tenacity with
which he clings to a case entrusted to him. But
Horatio was overmatched yesterday, as the follow
ing transaction will show: For some time past the
premises No. 318 Pennsylvania avenue have been
occupied by tenants not satisfactory to the owner,
and he entrusted to the doughty constable the task
of dispossessing them. Maryman about a week
ago moved some furniture into one of the rcjoms
aud settled himself to catch the other inmates
napping. He became so obnoxious that it was de
termined to get rid of him, and yesterday morn
ing affairs reached a climax. The time of the
occupants was nearly up, and Maryman
sallied forth to secure a writ of eject
ment. When he returned to the house he
discovered that during his temporary absence the
enemy had dispossessed him by putting all his
furniture out on the sidewalk and locked the front
door on him. This was not at all pleasant for the
limb of the law, and he decided to force an en
trance. He procured an axe and sounded a parley
by gently tapping at one of the panels. An excited
elderly female appeared at one of the upper win
dows and asked what he wanted. "I want to get
in," said Horatio. "I'd like to see you," was the
reply. "If you don't let me in I'll break open the
door," responded Maryman. The elderly female
drew in her head, but almost instantly reappeared
aud informed the constable that if he touched that
door he'd get his head broken. This made
Maryman dance with fury, and he swung
the axe aloft prepared to burst the
door open. Before he did any damage, however,
a hand protruded over the transom and quietly
dropped a brick, which took Horatio a clip over
the head. By this time a large crowd had congre
gated, and their sympathy was altogether with the
besieged, whom they encouraged to further reck
lessness by shouting, " Look out for him ; here he
comes again!" "Go it, old gal; give him some
more medicine like that!" Such expressions
maddened the constable, and he returned to the
charge, this time with a heavy club, with which
he pounded vigorously on the door. The door was
trembling under the pressure, when the same
hand came over the transom holding a large
lamp filled with coal-oil. Crash it came with full
force just beyond Maryman's nose, and the con
tents splashed full in his eyes and over his body,
causing him to beat an inglorious retreat. The
crowd roared at this last episode, and re
newed their taunts of the now almost
frenzied bum bailiff. It was more than he could
stand, and, underaplea. of seeking reinforcements,
he scudded across the Avenue toward Police
Headquarters, amidst the gibes of the spectators.
He asked Major Brock for a detail of policemen to
protect him, but was politely informed that the
only thing that the officers could do was to pre
serve the peace and could not help him to break
open the door. Maryman returned to the scene,
and, after ruefully viewing his effects, considered
discretion tho better part of valor and departed,
leaving the enemy in full possession of the castle.
Four Babies' A'nrroir Escape.
Fire was discovered in one of the small
houses in Jackson Hall alley, tenanted by colored
families, yesterday afternoon, by a colored man
in the vicinity, who quickly gave the alarm. Con
siderable excitement was created among the
crowd that gathered by the statement that several
children were locked up in the room, from which
the smoke was pouring in dense volumes, and
several men broke in the door. Upon a low bed,
under which a fire was binning briskly, lay four
babies, none of them over a year old, and had it
not been for their timely rescue they must have
smothered to death, for when brought out into the
air they were gasping for breath, and two of them
were almost lifeless. The fire was extinguished
with a trifling loss, without the department going
into service.

Franlclin Keller.
The annual meeting of the Franklin
Mutual Relief Association was held at St. Joseph's

that the association had more than doubled its
membership during the last year, and that of the
