SUB Mrs. Ella Taliaferro of Hillsdale was ar- rested Saturday evening by Anderson and Officers Reagan, Allen-and Branson, who raided a store kept by her im that suburb, on the charge of keeping a speek easy. Two cases of beer and a quantity of whisky were captured and | taken to the substation to be used as evi- dence. Mrs. Taliaferro was also taken to the sta- tion, where she was held until bail in the sum of $500 was arranged for her by her Lrother, John A. Moss. ‘The accused is the wife of William G. ‘Taliaferro, who was several months ago cchvictad in Judge Miller’s court of keep- ing an unlicensed bar, and sentenced to a term in the workhouse, which he is now gerving.

The excitement attendant upon reports of the intended lynching of Wm.Chandler,a col- ered man now confined in jaitat this place, charged with felonious assault upon Mrs. Reuben Poole, near Bethesda Park, has somewhat subsided, and it is now thought that the law will be permitted to take its course..The most exciting phase of the matter occurred late Saturday night, when a crowd of negroes, numbering between thirty and forty, surrounded the jail prem- ises, declaring they were there for the pur- pese of protecting the prisoner. They all appeared to be armed, and quite a number of shots were fired, but without doing any damage. Visitors at the jail and the fami- ly of the warden were much frightened at the demonsiration, some of them leaving the build ng and seeking safer quarters. It is said that one of the men catled on the sheriff, and proffered the services of the crowd in protecting Chandler, but was in- fermed by that officer that he had taken all necessary precaut’ons to insure his safety, and that their serviees were not needed. Ii appears more than likely that a number of arrests will follow this demonstration. Latest information from, the scene of the al- leged outrage leads to ‘the conclusion that no effort will be made from that locality to forestall the action of the.law. Chandler, the accused, is a mulatto about twenty-one years of age, and came here from Virginia. During the trying ordeal of the past three days he has been terribly frightzned, often appealing to the jailer for protection. He denies the charge brought against him, and says he was attending to the wants of Mr. Poote during the night, he being con‘ined to his bed by dangerous iliness, and that carly in the morning he went to the room occu- pied by Mrs. Poole and awakened her from sleep, but with no bad intention. The case will be heard at the March term of the cir- cuit court. The following transfers of real estate have been placei upon the land record books. of this county: Richard F. Dwyer to Hlizabeth A.

Sutton was before the House committee on District af- fairs last week in regard to the appropria- tion for the river and harbor expenses for the coming fiscal year. After talking of ihe current expenses and some other slight matters he called the express attention of the committee to the urgent need for a combined fire, ice and wrecking boat. In reply to questions Capt. Sutton said he thought that one boat of this description would be amply sufficient, but that to build her in a right manner and so that she would last for years would cost about $50,000. He said that with such a craft there would have been no loss or possibly only an incidental one when the W. W. Corcoran was burnt, or by the fires which destroyed the Coit and the Lady of the Lake. Of the latter steamer nearly all of the hull, which was of iron, has raised from the channel oy the government contractor; and is now lying in parts on the north shore of the flats waiting to be sold at auction for ok! tron. After urging upon the committee the necessity of some ction in the matter of a tire and ice beat, ‘ept. Sutton spoke of the present police boat, the Joe Blackburn. The Blackburn is yet in good cordition, but he thinks an improvement is much nceded on her, and so recommends, Ii is t raise the side of the boat about a foot and her house cor- respondingly. This will cost in the neigh- borhcod ot - $600 or, bur with the re- paiis that would naturally go with such work the Blackburn could be greatly im- proved. The new boiler and smokestack authorized by the last Congress has been placed aboard the boat, but has not been tested, except by the government inspector. It is not thought that the new boiler will be productive of any increased speed, but in other directions it was very much need- ed. In a few days the boat with her new equipment will be taken for a trial and will then be put in active commission again. When the Blackburn went out of commission in the fall the Lovey Ran- dall took the place of the Blackburn and has been acting as police boat ever since, but will now be returned to her owners. The ice over in Baltimore harbor dur- ing fhe past two weeks has been caus- ing a good deal of trouble to the mariners, but, strange as it may seem, it has caused little if any trouble along the Potomac, ex- cept to very small boats. Reports from a distance down the river, however, indicate that trade is at a standstill at many of the iandings not directly on the river owing to the creeks and tributary rivers being frozen er. Arcvnd the harbor, the ice this week degenerated from a field of two or three inches in thickness to floating cakes and no damage has been done, ex- cept that a couple of oyster pungies had rents cut in their sides. There is very ttle business deing now in the river trade and eveh the oyster business is dull. Some of the 1ungies were stuck in the ice on the lower inlets. The freight boats to river landings, the T. V. Arrowsmith, Mattano and Harry Randall, have all been taken off and laid up. Even when spring comes prospects aro not particularly bright, but it is probable that they will change in a éouple of months or so, except for the ex- cursion steamers. The letter found great competition from the land resorts on the ine of electric cars last summer and some of the river men say that they expect to find still more this coming summer. dary Discharged.
