rang the door bell, and when she op'-ncl

The suits in the United States District
ourt at Baltimore, of the owners of Ihe
oyster vessels which were tlrd into und sunk
in the Chester river last December, came to
an end somewhat suddenly by the decision
of Judge Morris in favor of the Stute. When
it came the turn of the Attorney Genorul to
muke the closing speo- h for the defense
Judge Morris said it wus unnecessary,
and proceeded to give his de
cision. He said the State ought to be
proud of an ollloer like Capt. Howard, a gal
lant man, who was fully jus tilled in all he
did. The Captain hud resouable grounds,
continued tho judge, to believe that tne oys-
lermen were violating the laws of the Stute,
uud it wus his duty to arrest them, und un
der ths circumstances he had a right to uss
force and firearms. The oyster schoouers
had no right to carry rifls and use thorn as
they did against the oyster pol ce force of
the United Slates of Maryland. Attorney
General Wbyte says a contrary view of th
law would have been received by the viola
lutors of the law as a licousi to resist the
oyster police navy ia its future elTarta.

cutting to be done alternately and the man
who first evinced signs of paiu to be stabbed
to the heart.
The Indian, by toss, secured th flnt out,
and, deliberately taking the hand of bis en

finger. The Mexican never uttered a sound.
Tb Indian reached out his band and oil
cam bia thumb, Thisooutinued in sileuoe
