On the followii Say Hobert Peter and Charles Ma- grader appeared and took their seats and Were fined 3 shillings and 9 pence each for non- attendance in due time. BURNING OF POWDER SHIP. On May 2, 1791, the people of the town wit- messed a novel spectacle. The ship Terma- geant, belonging to the house of the Messrs. Clagett. and which was anchored in the stream off the town, was discovered to be on fire. The inbabitants and the seamen in the harbor kly collected. but were deterred from ef- ts to extinguish the flames by knowledge of the fact that the cargo consisted in large part of powder. As the flames and reached the powder a terrific explosion took piace, which shook all the houses in the town. Cinders and pieces of the ship flew in every direction, and ‘the extensive tobacco warehouse of Francia and Charles Lowndes, some distance from the ‘water, was saved with great difficulty. On the first Monday of January, 1792. Uriah Forrest was elected mayor and Robert Peter and Charles Worthington were elected alder- men. Ata meeting held on the 27th of March, 1792, Peter Casanave and Charles Beatty ap- as_aldermen and Benjamin Stoddart and Wm. King as councilmen. A supplement was to an ordinance for the reassess ment of all the property in the town, and a Dall was also panel to levy s tax 0 dogs, where the quaint language of the jour- pal, ““ house discontinues and dissolves for the mt.”* ‘Threlkeld was elected mayor January 7, 1793, and Peter Casanave was elected mayor January 6, 1794; and at a meeting on the 9th of May Adam King and John M. Beatty appeared @ councilmen, and Kantt resigning as recorder, ‘William Hammond Dorsey was elected in bis stead. On the Sth of January, 1795, William ‘Turner was elected mayor, and at this meeting authority was given for the removal of that part of the jail built for debtors for the greater convenience of finishing the market house. ‘THE TOWN JT. ‘The previous meetings of the corporation are silent as to the jail, bat at this one a committee ‘was appointed to procure a lot for the purpose of building a new one for the use of the cor- poration; and notice was given that the next assembly would be asked to vest in the @ right to the county wharf, to the of the streets r, and to I i i Ht an i as ae i g FE Montgomery county court. mecting adjudged » house built by Adam of its members, in one of the streets and rather inconsistently allows provided Mr. King pays an annual to the corporation of £15. SAFE KEEPING OF LAW BREAKERS. ‘The corporation elected Daniel Reintzell mayor on the 10th of October, 1796, and John ‘Mason, John French and Anthony Gozler took ‘their seats as councilmen. The next meeting of the corporation was held at the house o! ‘Clement Sewall. snd from the proceedings had it that the constables of the town, Igna- ‘tins Newton and John Sanders,bad in their cus- tody a certain Michael Dulaney and a certain ‘Matthew Dulaney on suspicion of having burned ‘the records of the tobacco warehouse, and “it ‘not in a state to insure their safe that it is the general wish of the inhabitants that measures should be taken to secure the persons of men who appear to have been gailty f so heinous a crime,” the constables were directed to keep the prisoners in their cus- tody, “ironed at hand and foot, in one of their own houses or in some other place of safety, under s constant guard by day and night by four men, well armed, until the adjourned county court to be held at Montgomery county court house on the 2d of January next,” and ‘then to deliver them to the sheriff of the county. Liovd Beall was elected mayor January 2. 1797, ‘and John T. Mason recorder in place of William Hammond Dorsey, who had resigned. A LIMITED SLAVERY. On November 3, 1797, an ordinance was passed concerning gambling ard a petition was sent to the legislature of the state asking for some changes in the charter so as to allow the reelection of a person once before elected as mayor, &c. The legisiature granted the pe- tition and passed an act for the purpose, which also anthorized the corporation to control vagrants, loose and disorderly persons, and provided that if any such were committed and at the expiration of the senteuce should not pay the amount of their fines and prison fees, that the sheriff, with the consent of the mayor, might sell such persons as servants for any time not exceeding four months. At the meeting held February 26, 1793, 0 committee was appointed to examine the con- dition of the bridge on Fulls street and to have it puiled down if, in their opinion, in case of a freshet, it would endanger the market house. ‘This bridge was located on the north side of Fails, now Bridge street, near the present Poto- ‘mae street, across @ ravine which commenced at « spring near what is now the corner of High end 4th streets. The ravine took a southerly direction to Fails street and then to the river. ‘The market house of that day, a frame strue- ture, was built over the ravine about where the resent Bridge street market house stands. For ‘about fifty years this ravine has been filled up, arched and converted into a sewer. Back of Dr. Loockerman’s residence on Ist street there ‘was in this ravine a pond of considerable depth and area, which was used by the boys of ‘MeLeod’s school (of whom many are still living) for bathing and swimming. A CHEAP GOVERNMENT. The expenses of the corporation for the next year were estimated, and the estimate, which 4s as follows, shows the economical lines upon which it was conducted: For jail rent. a--. $30.00 Fora house foracomrion hall 40 00 For clerk of the corporation... 25 00 For clerk of the corpo- ration court.. 325 00 For crier of the corpo- ration court......... 20 00 For prosecutor of the corporation court... 20 00 — 65 00 For two constables at $30 each 60 00 For clerk of the market. 00 For street repairs . 1,005 00 —-21,325 60 To be defrayed through fines derived from — A tax of 3. on the £100 upon the amessable property.............. $1,066 66% Revenue from stalls of the market. | 40 00 Revenue from tax on dogs. - 8600 80 00 Four billiard tables at $20 : 80 00 Fines, &e Total... ‘That the town was oc: theatrical per + from the fact that on April Marlborongh Sterling Hamilton on behalf of himself and company of comedians then in the town petitioned the corporation to remit part of the tax they were obiied to pay, which was a tax of 26 nightly The law was graciously until the 30th --- 9 6 66% ionaliy treated to a MUNICIPAL #aRcast. ‘On May 18, 1799, a committee was appointed to wait upon the ( ners of the city of Washington and in the name and on the bebalf of the corporation to inform them of inef- fectual efforts alren strument for leveling man ‘¢ | ity of the gentlemen who eu and | this corporation, unasked, » proper person to do their work. TENDER REGARD FOR WASHINGTON. “Resolved, That during these days for which the Commissioners have determined to loan the instrument in question it cannot but happen that the interests of the city must be materially affected by being for so long a time deprived of the use of it, and that it would be ly un- generous and improper to profit by the liberal- intend the af- fairs of the city to their evident disadvantage. ‘That the commissioners of the streets of Goergetown be directed not to accept the loan of the said instrument unless it should be found that the graduation of the whole town can be effected in the « of half an hour, and should this not be found practicable they are authorized to purchase a leveling instrument with the funds placed at their disposal, and that copy of these resolutions be transmitted to the Commissioners of Washington.” The trouble of the committee and of the corpora- tion with regard to the leveling instrament did not end here, GRADING OF THE STREETS. Ata meeting held on the 28th of March, 1800, the street commissioners reported that soon after they were empowered to procure an in- strument for leveling the streets they first ob- tained from a competent judge a complete de- scription of such an instrument, and empow- ered John Mason. one of their number, to write to his correspondent in Philadelphia ‘request- ing him to purchase or have made a complete street level, by said description, provided the same could be had for from #50. to #70; that they were informed that no such instrument could be had im Philadelphia, but that Mr. Rittenhouse, a mathematical instrament maker near Philadelphia, would undertake to make one, and thereupon Mr. Biddle was requested to direct it to be mnde; tnat they were disa) inted at not getting it in time to use it in the fail, and that Mr. Mason bad received a letter from Mr. Biddle, dated January 16, saying that the instrument was completed and brought to him; that it was a very complete one, and that the price was $300. The committee were very much astonished at this price, and finding that they had limited it to $70 they thereupon wrote to Mr. Biddle suggesting that Mr. Rittenhouse dispose of it otherwise, and that the price so far exceeded their mits that they were under no obli- gation to take it; but if it could be obtained for 100 they would pay that price. A reply was received from Mr. Rittenhouse stating that it had been executed at consider- able expense and with great care, and saying that as a misunderstanding had taken place he would deduct $50; the committee submitted the matter to the corporation for its action, and the corporation, upon duly considering it. concluded that they were not bound to take the instrument by contract and expressed their regrets that they were precluded from pur- chasing it by the limited state of their funds. aoe rs Mr. Carter’s Peroration. In his peroration before the Bering sea tribunal in Paris yesterday Mr. Carter de- scribed the slaughter of femalo seals, heavy with their unborn young, and other horrors of pelagic sealing. To prevent these horrors and to protect the seal herds the United States had taken the ition which he had ex- ned to the best of his ability. The United itates had taken this position at the risk of war with Great Britain, and they had been ready to maintain this position and thus discharge the duties to humanity, even if they had been obliged to fuce half the world in arms. History would recognize their rights and the justice of their cause. The duty of the United States had not been extinguished by the reference of the dispute to the tribunal, but bad been merely transferred. ‘The United ‘States had withdrawn and left to the arbitrators the sacred daty of forbidding Ppineis sealing and confining seal killing to the iands. If the tribunal should decline to as- sume this duty it would only leave for posterity sw new source of contention. From beginning to the end Mr. Carter had spoken forty hours. As he sat down Baron de Courcel, president of the court, said: “I cannot refrain from thanking you, sir, for this magnificent speech, which has been characterized by a loftiness of view well worthy of this high court.” ———$_+oo—__—. More Wages and a Mustache. A committee of the waiters of Philadelphia yesterday called upon Mr. Lawrence MeCor- mick, Mr. George C. Boldt’s manager in that city, and presented a demand for the right to wear mustaches and for an increase in wages. Mr. McCormick was Willing to accede to the demand for an advance in wages, but refused to accede to the demand for whiskers. In consequence a strike was ordered and went into effect at 10 o'clock yesterday morning at the Stratford and Bellevue Hotels and tho Bullitt building restaurant, all condneted by Mr. Boldt. The places were filled by other employes of more or less ability. Proprietor Maltby of the Lafayette Hotel and the Messrs. Crump of the Colonnade Hotel succumbed to the demands for the waiters’ committee. At none of the other hotels or restanrants is there any trouble, as the obnoxious shaving decree is not enforced in any of them. —_—_—_+0-___—_ Death of John W. Forney, Jr. John W.

At Winemac the republicans reversed the city government by electing the entire ticket. Clay City elected a democratic ticket, Fortville, Onkland City and Waterloo show a mixed re- sult, while the republicans won at Liberty. West Indianapolis gave a republican victory, bat with democratic gains. Dablin and Auburn elected the republican ticket. Hawkville, across the river from Indianapolis, went democratic, the fight there being very warm. In some towns party lines were not observed and a mixed ticket was voted. = oe A Hint to Municipal Reformers.

REVOLUTIONISTS ORGANIZING AT KEY WEST. The New York Herald's Key West (Fla) cor- respondent telegraphs: “Senor Jose Marti arrived on the Mascotte from Tampa this afternoon. By the time the steamer reached her dock nearly every resi- dence and business house occupied by Cubaus was gay with bunting and Cuban flags. “Representatives of sixty revolutionary lodges, carrying banners and lags, headed by # brass band, marched to the dock. Marti had Janded and was awaiting the arrival of the pro- cession. He was surrounded by thousands of enthusiasts waving their hate and shouting “Viva Cuba Libra.’ When tho procession of more than 2,000 started he marehed with the delegates who had received him, behind a band, to the residence of Teodoro Perez. his host. | The crowd trod ‘over each over for a sight or a band clasp from the man in whom they have put their trust for leadership. The crowd was soon di , and then Marti attended a council with the junta or bosrd of revolutionary leaders. Addresses will be made at a mass meeting in Jackson Square tomorrow night. Marti addressed the largest crowd of Cubans in ‘Tampa last night that was ever gathered ere. In an interview Marti said that Cuba was ripe for rebellion. He says the revolutiongry party is not to be suppressed and has opened channels through which the war is to be con- ducted. It is to be a revolution entirely’ in keeping with the dictates of humanity and prac- tical democracy. Marti says Spain is afraid, yet it desired the premature outbreak “in the hope of quelling it sooner. He does not pretend to prophesy the outcome of the movement. Much depends upon Spain, but he evidently believes it will spread all over the island, having begun in the most unconquerable portion of the island. He insists that the revolutionists will respect the rights of this government, and it is certain that the mistakes made in former expeditions will not be repeated. Five hundred men met on a retired por- tion of the beach last night and were ad- dressed by prominent speakers, who called for volunteers. From eighty to one hundred men —— out and pledged themselves to fight for Cuban freedom. The custom house force still guards the beach and the United States cutter is ready to sail at @ moment's notice. It is reported that the cutter McLane has been ordered to sail on cruise to Cedar Ke at daylight. It is said that the district men of Seamillo have added to their contingent for the rebellion under Mariano, « chief of the former war. ‘News has been received that the insurgent forces number not less than 2,000, well armed, who have had previous experience and are operating in the mountainous region, the re- cesses of which are well known to them. Even considering the suddenness of the outbreak, it does not seem le that the revolution can be easily quell The leaders’ meeting last night was very harmonious, and all are ready to face any difficulties. It is not known here that Gen. Gomez is in Cubs, as has been re- ported. +04 —___ THREE LIVES SAVED. Sailors Jump From the Blake Into the North River and Make Gallant Rescue. Shortly after noon a small rowboat contain- ing James Brown and his twelve-year-old son of 419 West 43d street, another passenger and ‘two oarsmen, says the New York Times, put out from the foot of West 95th street for the British flagship Blake. Just as the little vessel was approaching the gangway of the warship it was caught broad- side ina heavy sweil from a passing excursion boat. Badly overloaded, the rowboat settled down in the swell and in a few moments filled to the gunwales, leaving her passengers strug- gling in the water. From the Blake's decks a big crowd of sight- seers watched the accident, aud cries of alarm wentup. Butno one stirred to rescue the imperiled people below, three of whom, Mr. Brown, his son and the passenger, were unable to swim. ‘They clung to the sinking boat, shouting for help, and as the vessel disappeared under them they threw up their bands and for a moment disappeared under the waves before the eyes of ia eer geen arc aa ke ‘they rose again to the surface they boo ge — gore cries, but eve iy thought it was =<S them, for ay that were hurrying toward them from all directions were still so far away that they could not possibly reach them in time. Just then there came a shout from the Blake's skid deck of: “Hi! Hold on below there!" There was the shadow of ahuman form lunging through the air, a splash and then a Biaejacket was seen striking out for the spot where the boy was vainly striving to keep afloat. In a moment the sailor was beside the lad and ringing shout went up from the inulti- tude above as he grabbed the boy about the waist. Almost at the same instant two other tars were seen to leap from the Blake into the water, one from the gangway and the other from the deck. They made for and reached the other two drowning persons, who were just about sinking for the last time. The tide was run- ning strong and it was all the three sailor men couid do to keep themselves afloat with their burdens. But they were cheered on by encor shouts from the throng on the Blake’ from which came the advice to— “Hold on; help’s comin; “Hurrsh for Engl en!” “Bravo for the jack tars! “There goes a launch now; hurrah!” Bat the launch was distanced by two tugs, the Indian and the Goodwin, which were rac- ing for the struggling sailors. Tne Goodwin gotup first and threw a line to the sailor who was bearing up the boy. But the struggle against the tide had been a severe one, and as the bluejacket reached for the line his hand fell short, and it looked as if both he and the boy would be carried down, when William O'Connor, a battery boatman, who was on the tug Indian, made a spring from the deck of that vessel which landed bim beside the sailor. Steadying himself in the water he gave a hand to the boy, and soon all three were pulled on board the Goodwin, from whence they were transferred to the Indian. In the meantime the other four had also been pulled aboard the Goodwin, and amid the cheers of the people on the Blake the three brave English sailors were put back on their vessel. ‘They went below to change their clothing as modestly as if nothing had happened worth mentioning. Their names were given by the officers as Robert Halfyard, Richard Hunt and John Lloyd. r decks —eee Arrested For Malpractice, The young woman who was taken to Smith's infirmary on Staten Island Sunday, suffering from malpractice, was Miss Lena Dalmier of Stapleton. iss Dablmier died at 2:30 yesterday morn- ian she accused in her state- ment to the coroner is Dr. Charles A.

Why, durn their skins! they ain't got sense enough to be jealous. One feller asked me if we had eration would like to know something more of the lives and characters of those worthy heroes. What manner of men were Gen. Lingan, Col. Moses Rawlings, = Deakins, Capt. Thomas Richardson and others, and where rest their bones? Of one of these worthies, “tho fighting Quaker,” your correspondent ‘is in the posses- sion of some facts, which he will give, that their memories may be rescued from the com- parative oblivion left them by the historian in the mere mention of their names and rank. Of three brothers who came from Wales to Maryland in 1664 {2885 according to Davie’ “Daystar”) one, Mark Richardson, was the ancestor of Capt. Thomas Richardson; the an- cestors of two other well-known ryland families, the Snowdens and Thomases, also from the p1 vy, and Quakers, came with the Richardsons, and there are grounds for the belief that the wife of Mark Richardson was a Thomas, whence the name in the family for two generations, the captain's father being also named Thomas, As the captain was about thirty years of age st the time of the French and Indian war (1755) it 18 believed that he commanded a company in that war, and pos- sibly was with Gen. Washington in the expe- dition to Fort Duquesne when Braddock was defeated, but, however that may be, st is cer- tain that he bore the title of captain long be- fore the revolution. Of the tracts of land patented by Mark Richardson two were in the “upper country,” namely, ‘*Medway,” in Prince George's county, containing about '500 acres, and “Bear Bacon Manor,” of 600 acres, in Montgomery county, near what is now cerville. “Medway” (erroneously called Midway in some deeds) lies at the cross roads about four miles west of Laurel on the Sandy Spring road, and it was here, at least for the latter years of his life, that the captain made his home. He married @ Miss Ridgely and had for family two sons and several daughters. One son, Dr. Andrew Rich- ardson, settled at Fort Duquesne, now become Pittsburg. He never married, however, and died young. The other. Robert R. Richardson, at Baltimore, on Fayette street. He was an intimate friend of Henry Clay, was next-door neighbor of the elder Ross Winans and a ves- tryman of old Ascension Church (Episcopal). Of two chikiren but one married and left a numerous family, the late Dr. Charles Richard- son of Baltimore and Montgomery counties. Of the daughters “Polly” married a Mr. Griffith and they went to Kentucky to live: other married the elder James Rawlings of Colesville, Md., and Hattie, the youngest, after staying with her father for many years, at last ran away and married the miller, a Mr. Johnson, and the captain was left all forlorn, with none to look after him but his servants. He continued to live, however, and attained a great old age, dying in 1820, aged ninety-six years, having enjoyed the respect and esteem, not to say love, of the community to the last. His grave is about 200 yards east of the Bla- densburg road about half a mile south of the Sandy Spring road. ‘The grave is only marked by a roughly hewn stone. It lies in probably the largest private burying ground in that whole section of country, it having been set apart by the captain, in the language of an old resident, as a burying place for all, “high and low, rich and poor.” It is now an open grove of beautiful cedars and would well repay a visit. There are several graves of much older date than the captain's, and it is thought that at least, of the old revolutionary heroes lie buried there. ‘The frame building at the cross roads is a part of the old residence, the main part,which was of brick, baving fallen or been pulled down and the bricks carried away many years ago. It wasa stage station before the turnpike was constructed, changed horses there, and traders north and west passed there. There must been quite a village of buildings at one time, but all are gone except the portion of the house mentioned. The place bore the name of “Capt. Richardson's” on some old maps, and the writer has seen deeds which described lands to the westward as lying “‘on the road leading from Capt. Richardson's to Fredericktown.” The lace is now more frequently called “Sandy ttom."’ The soil near the road is light and sandy, but it produced an excellent quality of tobacco. Capt. Richardson had a powerful voice, and Thave been told that, standing on his porch of a morning, he could give bis orders down to the mill, which was more than a mile away down the valley and a forest intervening. One anec- dote current in the neighborhood about the captain did him injustice and which I wish to correct. It is related that Maj. Snowden, who carried on the iron works and needed a great deal of help in his wood yard. had, among other hands, Capt. Richardson's man Bellows, There being delay in furnishing charcoal from the wood yard and its prompt delivery being a very urgent matter lest the fires go out the major visited the wood yard to see what the trouble was, As the major and Capt. R. were great friends and as he had to pass that way he took the latter with him. It bemg found upon inquiry that the workmen were loafing and the colored people sleeping over their work in the daytime,and as, by the showing of the overseer, Hancock, Bellows, being leader of his gang and the most guilty party, should be thrashed— should have nine and thirty well laid on. As the story goes. the thrashing was done by the major, who was urged on by the captain. “Giro it to him, major! Lay it on, sir! Give it to shire, the author of the bill granting the office of comunission of lavor and establishing a bill of labor that has ran the gauntlet of the legislature and is now #law—is William A. J. Giles, perhaps the ‘most prominent young lawyer in the granite state. He prepared for the bar in the office of ex-Judge William L. Foster of Concord. After completing his studies for a time he was one of the bustest and one of the best-known young men in newspaper work in New England. He was connected with the Boston Journal and afterwards with the Even- W. A. J.

Asthe attorney forthe Central Labor Union he has gained the most important concession granted the workingmen in New Hampshire since the enactment of the ten-hour law in 1537 Such a man as this must be well, and Mr. Giles is, certainly as well aman as one can meet. He owes his ability to do the tremendous lot of work that he ts capable of in no small measure to the great Temedy that was first prescribed by the famous ‘New Hampshire professor,Dr. Phelps,who, at Dart- mouth, taught many ayoung man the value of health. Says Mr. Giles, writing a characteristic letter to the Wells & Richardson Co., Burlington: “Have been a constant sufferer from backache and constipation, and have had no faith in pre- pared medicines. A short time ago, almost wild ‘with pain caused from headache and constipation, I wandered into the drug store of H. F. Wyatt for Tellef, and that gentleman recommended Paine’s celery compound. I gave ita trial and it afforded immediate relief, and I heartily recommend ail Persons troubled as I was to give it a fair trial.” Could there be abetter advocate of so great a Temedy—the remedy that makes people well? bore and Cle 1b throneh Sleepers. fc Prraburs to Ch Real Estate and Law building, Betateatjantic CHS.

I got the truth of the matter from an old resident named Nathaniel Scott, who remembered the captain very well, and who knew Bellows and worked with him after he ot his freedom, and asked him about the story. lows said that the whole thing was a joke on him, started by Hancock to tease him, that the captain ‘pleaded for him like the major only gave him one stroke of the whip. This same old Bellows was quite a char- acter in his way. He was. skilled mechanic however, and conducted a large emithing estab- lishment for the captain for many years.
