It appears that overa year ago a couple living in Maryland obtained a licease here, the young man giving an assumed name, under which be was married. The couple settled down, and now the young man, having a knowledge that he has done wrong, wishes to make matters right on the record. There is a case somewhat similar from Virginia, and these parties are anxious to make things right also. The clerk of the court is powerless to make y ainendment to the record, but it is pro; that the de fects be cured by filing affidavits with the clerk stating the facts. eevee OL Dr. W. P.C.

We noW pay seven cents, aurl expect soo to re- duce the price to six, as the amount of mil offered us at seveu cents, delivered at our doors, is far more than we can consuine. Many persons look on the addition of a few cents to the price of a quart of milk as a email matier, aud continue to pay it out of sheer carelessness; but the overcharge of which “Housekeeper” speaks, applied to the twenty thousand quarts per diem used in this city, is a waste of $600 a day, or over $200,000 per annum; Dota small matter by | any means. | There is another question connected with this of milk supply, and that is as to its purity.

Fair Play Wanted All Around Edifor Sta ta late meeting of the Cab. inet it was resolved upon to allow the clerics of the various departments tn Washington to quit work at 3 p. m. Saturday, insteat of 1, a8 bas been the usual custom, so that they may have a little extra recreation and ai- tend the Saturday afternoon concerts at the President's grouds. While we donot eom- plain of this, we desire to call the attention of the President and his Cabinet to the fact that there are other employes of the govern- ment in Washington who have not the ben- cfitof a thirty days’ leave of absence with pay, who are equally deserving of consider. ution at the hands of the ad:ninistration, who have to work eight and ten hours a day. This class comprises the employes of the navy yard, government printing offi and other mechanical employes of the ernment. Why not allow them one hour | every Saturday afternoon for recreation, as granited to the clerical foree? 8.

The Balti- side, Mount Clare and Camden Station, Bal- | timore, but their places were supplied by others. At Martinsburg from twenty-five to thirty firemen left work, and no freight trains were able i that point, the new men employed by company being intimidated by Rae strikers. THE DIFFICULTY IN BALTIMORE commenced at Camden junction, about three miles from Baltimore, where trains from Locust Point, Camden station and Mount Clare, all take the same track to the Relay House. At this po the firemen of the freight train which left Locust Point at 10 o'clock &. m. quit the train, and subse- quently those from other freight trains, uatil some thirty or forty strikers and their friends were assembled. The news was at orce sent to Camden station and new men | were sent to supply their places. The men | leaving the trains attempted to persuade and intimidate the new men from going on the trains, but no actual violence was re- sorted to se far as reported. At Riverside Station quite a large number of people were | assembled, including strikers. An officer of | the road called on Mr. Clements and pointe! | out E. M. Munford, Geo. Hudson and Colum Mead, firemen, whom he charged with boarding engines with the purpose of intim- ida‘ing and preventing men from discharg- ing theirduty. The accused were arrested and take. to the southern police station, where they were released in $1,000 ball e fora hearing on the charge of rioting at 2 o'clock p.m. to-day. Police Sergeant Bra- chey and a force of men were left in charge. Police Captain Delanty was ordered to call out the night force of the southern district, and pickets were placed along the line of tne | road fom Locust Point to Camden janction. | At 3:5 the party returne to Canvi tion, and no further disturb: during the day.

With theus- | 8)s.ance of this mob the strikers succeeded in rescuing their comrades. The new firemen | are now completely intimidated, and there is LO prospect at present Of any freight trains | being able to pass this point to-night. The strikers have done no damage to property | And passenger trains are permitted to pass | uninterrupted.” Late last night First Vice President King telegraphed to Governor H. M. Matthews, of West Virginia, at Wheeling, that the trains of the company had been stopped at Martins- | burg by the firemen on a strike for wages, who had driven from the engines those w were willing to work on the company’s terms. That firemen had been taken from tains by the rioters, and that the trains in | both directions were held by a mob and the town authorities powerless to suppress the riot. Mr. King therefore appealed for such aid as would enable the company to transact its business with regularity and safety. The auswer of Governor Matthews was as follows: “ There are two military companies at Martinsburg armed and supplied with | ammunition. I have telegraphed my aid- de-camp, Col. C. J. Faulkner, jr., to aid the authorities, with the companies, to ex»cute the law and suppress tbe riot. I will do ail I can to preserve the peace and secure safety to your trains and railroad operations. Col.
