LOCAL NEWS.

Here and 'There.
Kcruion to Young Men.
Rev. R. 11. Williams, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church of this city,
preached a sermon yesterday morn
ing to the naval cadets some of whom
are about to leave for their three
months’ cruise and a large number
of whom are graduates and will leave
for all time. The sermon was par
ticularly adapted to the occassion
and was in every respect a fine pro
duction. In his closing remarks he
said : a large number of young men
of this congregation have completed
another year of their preparation for
the work of life. Another year of
my work for their spiritual good is end
ed. With great regularity, young gen
tlemen of the Academy, you have at
tended our services. To some of you
the opportunities here offered for spir
itual good now come to a close. From
you who go out from us, not again
to return, we would ask a kindly re
membrance. In other days, and
amid other scenes, it may delight you
to remember this church, where iu
youth you so frequently worshiped.
May the memory of these services,
“like a chime of evening bells,” come
with sweet and refreshing effect in
times of loneliness, in times of duty
and danger, in times of sickness and
sorrow.. As you go forth to perform
the nofcle duties of your calling, and
to form other companionships than
those you have had here in the period
of preparation, see to it that you walk
in the counsels of the wise. We
would have those of, yoiFwho return
feel that this house of God, like the
home you have left, has an open door
for you, where you may that kind
hearts are interested in your welfare.
It is hardly necessary to say that a
welcome awaits you on your return
from cruise. By the rules and train
ing of the Academy, many valuable
traits are developed, such as prompt
ness, and punctuality, aud obedience,
and generosity and self respect. But
there are other things which should
not be neglected. Conscience, and
all the religons affections, should be
carefully trained. Situated as you
are, this must, to a large degree, be a
work of your own. Let, then, all
strive to be companionable in the
highest, noblest sense, and let each
contribute to the good of all. Hold
fast to the memories of home, and
take the Word of God to be a lamp
unto your feet, and a light unto your
path. Seek fellowship with Christ,
and thus holding converse with the
noblest objects and persons, you will
become wise, as our text states, in the
highest, noblest sense.
Supposed to be Browned.
A seaman named Samuel Walker,
on the United States practiceship
Dale, lying near the Naval Academy,
in the Severn River, has been miss
ing since Friday night last. Lieut.
Dillingham in charge of the Dale,
was notified, and a general muster
ordered. All the men could be ac
counted for except Walker, the sea
man.. He had not been seen since
the above evening, and bis absence
at the roll-call led to the conclusion
that be had been drowned. It was
also ascertained that his canvas bag
of clothing has also disappeared,
which strengthened the belief that
Walker had attempted to swim ashore,
about an eighth of a mile, and in his
efforts had been drowned. Walker
was a young man, about 32 years
old, and came with tl e Dale from
Norfolk. Henrj Campbell, a fisher
man, on Saturday evening recovered
a bag of clothing and a sailor’s cap in
the Severn river, and it is supposed
they belonged to the drowned man.

A Capsize and Rescue.
On Saturday afternoon a bateau
being sailed by Mr. Guy Thompson,
in which were several companions,
was capsized by a heavy flaw of wind
off Bay Ridge, and the parties pre
cipitated in the w r ater. They clung
tenaciously to the upturned boat and
succeeded in getting on her bottom,
when Mr. Harry C. Thompson who
was near by in a boat, at the time
of the capsize, went to their rescue,
and took them off and brought them
safely to shore. It is useless to say
all the parties received a good soak
ing, which no doubt marred, iu a
measure, their enjoyment of the sail.
Committed to jail.
John Jackson and Charles Foster,
colored, of the crew of the schooner
“Annie Cumber,” of Baltimore, were
brought here yesterday from Magotby
river, charged with locking the cap
tain and mate in the cabin of their
vessel on Saturday night while they
were asleep, and for attempting to
steal the yawl boat. The noise in at
tempting to break the chain of the
yawl boat, aroused the imprisoned
officers of the vessel, who, bursting
open the cabin doors rushed on deck
and captured both of the fugitives.
They were taken before Justice D. C.
Thompson, who committed them to
jail, until to-day when they were re
leased for the action of the United
States authorities.
Promenade Concert.
The promenade concert which has
been twice postponed came off Satur
day night at the Naval Academy
grounds. It was the finest affair of
its kind since Admiral Porter was
stationed at the Academy. The
grounds were beautifully lighted by
numerous Chinese lanterns, and the
mnsic excellent. Hundreds of ladies
and gentlemen strolled about the
grounds, and enjoyed the music and
picturesque scenery.
PRICE ONE CENT.
The Utf JHnira Andrews.
The remains of the late James An
drews were brought here this morning .
from Baltimore on the steamer S. J.
Pentz, and were met at the boat by a
large number of friends of the de
ceased. They were taken to the
First M. E* Church of which the de
ceased had for many years been a
consistent member and officer. The
impressive services were conducted
by ltevs. Leech and Amis, and the
choir rendered the usual solemn music.
The church was filled with sympathi*
zing friends of the deceased who fol
lowed the remains to their last resting
place in the city cemetery where they
were interred in the family burial
ground beside the grave of his daugh
ter. The pall bearers were, Messrs.
J. 11. Forbes, Julian Brewer, James
Monroe, Sr., James Hopkins, I)r. T.
O. Walton and James Corner who
filled the place of Mr. (1. W. Watkins,
who while lifting the corpse was in
jured and was conveyed to his home
in a hack. Mr. Watkins at the time
of this issue is much improved. He
was attended by Doctors Tuck and
Thompson. •
C. & 0. Canal.
The stockholders of the Canal held
a meeting this afternoon in the Exe
cutive Chamber, in connection with
the Board of Public Works. Qov.
McLane presided. From what we
could learn the meeting was not al
together harmonious. It was finally
determined that the election of a Pres
dent be postponed to a meeting in
December, that the* Board may see
the affect of tne policy adopted by the
present President and Directors. The
Governor offered a resolution as in
structed by the Board of Public
Works, reducing the President’s sal
ary to $3,000 per annum ; requesting
the directors to reduce other salaries
ten per cent., and to cut down all ex
penses to the lowest possible rate.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted ; and the meeting adjourned
to the first Monday in December.
KxritinK Itout Race,
An exciting boat race, in which
four 12 oared cutters, manned by ca
dets, participated, was an interesting
feature of the day Saturday.
The course was on the Severn river
distance l£ miles, and the race was
won by cutter No. 4, commanded by
cadet Davis, in 8 minutes and 44 sec
onds.
Lieut. Commander Elmer, the refe
ree, awarded the annual prize in the
cutter race—an artificial rooster, of
handsome plumage—which was han
ded Cadet Plunkett, one of the stroke
oarsman. The other members of the
successful boat’s crew were Cadet
Davis, coxswin; McKean, stroke.
Lawrence and Dashiel, 3 and 4;
Bootes and Russell, 5 and 6, and
Miller, Taylor, Edgar, Reiley, Carna
han and Iloggalt. The winning boat
took the start at the commencement,
and continued the lead till the close.
