Cannon, who 1s Popularty, credited with being the master spirit in the recent rald against the oyster police Frees Pear Hamilton. A boat was lowered from the Lella, and First OMcer Pembroke was rowed to the Maud Muller. “On boarding the latter, he was. told that the captain, Sylvester Cannon, nad gone ashore. He then ordered his men to take'the pungy in chat and directed the crew of the Silver Spray to notify Captain Cannon that if he want nis boat he must make his appearance in the morning toclaim her. The charge against Sylvester Can- a was illegal dredging or scraping in Fishing "THR CAPTURE WAS MADE VERY QUIETLY, and with no show of resistance on the part of any ofthe crew. R.P. Cannon afterwards rowed over to the police boat, and some violent words passed, and it was thought fora time that a battle was imminent. The trouble blew over, however, with- out ay actual fighting, and the Leila dropped down. the river to an anchorage in Norman’s cove, where she remained, with the Julia Hamilton and Maud Muller near at hand. Cannon falled to put in an appearance before the magistrate at, Bishop's head, and the Doat was released. He is sald to have madé threals against the life of Captain Insiey. of the oyster police force. Additional writs have Deen 1s- sued against the violators of the law, which Will De executed at once. A STURDY CAPTAIN. ‘The Hamilton, which returned from Crisfeld Monday, left Fishing bay in the afternoon for the Nanticoke river to relieve the oyster sloop Carrle Franklin, Captain Bedsworth, whitch ts in distress and witlout ammunition. Several days ago the Franklin was run into by dredgers and her topmast Was carried away. She hus also lost her rudder, and will be towed by the Hatn!iton to some conve- Bient point for refitting. Oh Friday night last she Was fired into by dredgers supposed to be from Deal's Island, and the lamp in her cabin was extn ‘uished by a rifle ball. Captain Bedsworth has eetrrepeatedly fired upon, but declared he would permit his vessel to be sunk before he would move away from his post at the mouth of the Nanticoke. Belng without ammunition, he was unable to take the offensive. "After attending to the wants of the Franklin, the Hamilton will crulse in Fishing bay and vicinity several days in the hope of overtaking some of the depredators. The Virginia Legisigture. WHY THE DEMOCRATS HAVE EXTENDED THE SESSION. ‘The democrats of the Virginia legisiature yester- day decided In favor of an extension of the seasion for thirty days, which fs provided for by the constl- tution, ‘This action of the democrats will preclude the chance of the defeat by Mlibustering of any of the important measures passed by the democrats which the governor may veto. Among these Dills Which are now before him are the bills reapportion- ing the state for Congress, taking the election michinery out of the hands of Mahone's county Judges, vacating all of the boards of the ltmatic asylums, and giving local boards the appolutment of superintendents of schools when vacancies may occur during the session of the general assembly. ‘The caucus agreed that no compensation will be allowed for the extra session. Charges Against Mr. Frederick Geb- hard. ARTHUR HUNTER CLAIMS ROLE’S WINNINGS WHILE RU: UNDER GEBHARD’S COLORS. From the New York Sun. Charges have been preferred against Mr. Gebhard and handed in for the consideration and action of the Coney Island Jockey club. While the charges have not as yet been acted upon, a member and a gentleman honorably known as an owner of race horses says that the allegations are, in substance, that near the close of the season of 1882 Mr. Geb- hard gave Arthur Hunter who was the chief man- ager ofthe Pelham stable, under whose colors Eole was racing, $5,000 for the privilege of racing Kole unter his (Gebhard’s) name. All ‘that Gebhard di was the honor of having the horse entered in all races in his name, he ing to give the net ‘earnings to Mr. Hunter, ‘The horse won $12,000 while running under Mr. Gebhard’s colors, and’ when this money was claimed by Mr. Hunter Mr. Gebhard denied the agreement, and refused to pay over Eole’s win- nings. Correspondence and hot words have passed between the principals in the transaction, and now the matter is left for arbitrament_by the'executive committee of the Coney Island Jockey Club. Mr. Huntephas long been known asa skilful light Wwelght gentleman Jockey, and has won more races probably than any other’ gentleman rider in the country. ‘The impression among club men Is that. Mr. Hunter would not make his claim without having good grounds therefor. Gebhard took great pride in oles victories at Sheepshead bay at the fall meeting last year, and was very happy when Mrs. Langtry was present to sce the horse carry is colors to Ue front in his well-earned victories. Lord Garmoyle and His “ Bluc-eyea Darling.” HI AFFECTION FOR THE ACTRESS TO BE RELATED TO ‘A COURT AND JURY. ‘Miss Fortescue’s action for breach of promise in London against Lord Garmoyle is rapidly assuming the dimensions of a public scandal ‘The enemies ofthis father, Earl Cairns, hope té make it a means ot driving him from politics and feel certafn of weaken- Ang his poStion as a candidate for the leadership of the torie8, recalling the overthrow of *Lord Chan- cellor Westbury, due to the follies of his son. ‘There have since been ugly rumors of conspiracy. ‘The London World says that the conduct of Lord and Lady Cairns has been base, treacherous and un- christian, “They deceived’ the girl tnto thiwk- ing herself accepted, fooled her with false ho and then, when the rupture came, Lord Cairns suggested £2,000.” 111s lawyer induced him to com Sent to £5,000. Soclety 1s walling anxtously for the trial. Lord and Lady Cairns will enter the witness box, and Lord Garmoyle’s letters to his “ blue-eyed darling” wil be read. Public opinion regards ium with contempt; he has gone abroad, and his name has been withdrawn from the books of the club. ‘The damages, as has been stated, are ald at PRAISE FOR MISS FORTESCUR. ‘Miss Fortescue 1s not making capital out of the incident, and the report that she will star in Amer- fea is unfounded. On the contrary, she writes a pretty, modest letter, saying that she revards the affair with the utmost pain. Mr. W. Ss. bert, the dramatist, who has kindly befriended h says she will return to the Savoy theater at her old salary. It ts sald that letters will be produced which wili show that the promise and breach are uncontested, 80 are the parents’ ratification and their assent to the wedding preparatious. ‘There 1s no such pre- tense as that Lord Garmoyle made the breach of pro mise because Of aspersions made on Miss For- fescue’s character. Lord Catrns' letters admit her Teputation to be unblemished. Lord Garmoyles farewell letter said:—“ That filial love was the rea- son for the rupture of the e1 rement.” London Truth says:—“ Lord Garmoyle wrote to Miss Fortescue that one reason for breaking off the engagement was that the Duke of Richmond had said she could not be received at court.” Apropos ot ees Truk taunts the Duke of Richmond with bone ioe descendant of the illegitimate offspring of Charles IL anda French woman, Madame Car- wel Cararru.
