of Mr. J. W. German AN ITNPORTTrNATE VESSEL Three Dredgers Perish In a Found Net. Sl NDAI STORM.

The oyster pungy, Capt. Keller, which left Baltimore on the 16th with a crew of six men, for the oyster round in the neighborhood of and South ltiver, has perhaps, been one of the most unfortunate dredging en the bay. Thursday night last during a heavy blow, while the vessel was at the mouth of South River, George Miller, one of tha crew was lost overboard and and drowned while arranging the jib, before assistance could reach him. An effort was made next day to recover his body, but without success. The Captain reported the drowning to the Custom House officer of this city next day, and the vessel retui ned to the oyster grounds again in the South River, where she continued to load with oysters.

On Saturday she anchored of Marshy Point, South River, during the storm, and laid there all Sunday. On Sunday morning about 8 four of the George Roberts, mate, James Donnelly, and two Poles, named Worship and Wei gant, took the vawl boat and went ashore fora stroll, ana remained in the neghborhood until about 7 Sunday night, when they proceeded to their yawl boat to go aboard of their vessel lying about a quarter of a mile from shore. When they reached the shore, they found their yawlboat high and dry. They built a fire on the shore where they sat around keeping themselves warm the best they could, waiting for the tide to raise. Finally they concluded to make an effort to reach the vessel, and took off their shoes and stockings in order to keep them dry while they pushed the heavy yawl-boat into deep water, which they succeeded in doing, and proceeded to pull in the darkness of of the night, for their vessel, which they could only discern by the dim light in the rigging- They had not proceeded far from the shore, when they found it would be impossible to make the vessel against the heavy sea and wind that was blowing at the time, so they headed their yawlboat for shore, taking as their guide the light of the fire they had left on the shore.

They found, however, that the wiDd had carried them considerably out of the course and iu their effort to reach shore they were carried in the pound nets of Lowman and where their boat soon became swamped aud all four of the men were thrown into the river. They clung to the pound net stakes and cried for help, until they become exhausted and were washed off by the heavy sea. The two Poles fell inside the pound nets, where their bodies were recovered yesterday. Roberts, the mate, is supposed to have fell on the outside of the pound nets, and bis body was carried out. James Donnelly, the only one that was saved was interviewed this morning by a Capital reporter on board the vessel, now lying in our dock, with the dead bodies of the two Poles on board.

Mr Donnelly is a bright, intelligent man, and hails from Newark, N. but shipped on the from Baltimore, on the 16th, and says this is his first trip, on a dredge boat. When they found there was no hope of rescue, he nnd the mate attempted to swim ashore. They encouraged each other by their conservation long as they could. The Poles were still clinging to the stakes, crying in a most pitiful mauner.

Donnelly says the mate asked him where he was, aud he answered three stakes He also asked htm must we and Donnelly replied: might as well drown in attempting to reach shore as to perish clinging to these here and he struck out for shore. He says he swam after letting go (lie stake, about a hundred yards, and become so exhausted that he gave up, and found that he was in about four foot of water, and attempted to wade ashore but his legs from his feet up to his knees were so benumbed that he could scarcely stand up, and had to crawl on his hands and knees to the shore, and succeeded in reaching the fire, by the assistance of some parties on shore, where he managed to keep from freezing to ddath. He never saw or heard anything more from the mate after they Capt. Keller reached here last night with his vessel and two of the dead bodies on board, and the remnant of his crew. An inquest was held over the dead bodies on the vessel this morning by Justice D.

C. Thompson, and a verdict of accidental drowning ren dered. The bodies of the unfortunate men were given in charge of Undertaker Caulk, ana buried in Cemetery at the expense of the county.

It is without doubt the safes land best remedy ever discovered for the speedy and effectual cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest Lung troubles. It acts on an entirely different principle from the usual prescriptions given by Physicians, as it does not dry up a Cough and leave the disease still in the system, but on the contrary removes the caum of the trouble, the parts affected and leaves them in a purely healthy condDion. A bottle kept In the house for use when the diseases make their appearance, will save bills and a long spell of serious illness. A trial will convince you of these facts. It is positively sold bv all druggists and generU dealers in the Jand.

Subject DlMUMilon mt the Presbyterian Church Last Night. The following is an abstract of the subject discussed at the prayer-meeting in the Presbyterian Church last dlght, in which the pastor said Under the Old Testament the individual was to make confession of sin. This was required by their religion, and many examples are given in the word of God.

Then Aaron made confession of the sins of the whole poople, for we read Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the This was a typical act showing the transfer ofr sin. Theu Solomon at the dedication of the temple, remembering this duty of confession, prays unto God that when the people come ciying, 'We have sinned and dane they might be heard and forgiven. This confession is to be made unto the Lord. The terms used by Solomon indicate this, such as these, shall pray unto the and supplication unto return unto Ezra, too, in making bis confession for the people, makes it unto God. Joshua directs Achan to confession nnto that is, God.

And so in the New Testament, we are taught that we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We have examples fff persons coming voluntarily and confessing their sins. Job says I am vile; wbat shall 1 answer David said acknowledge iny sin unt? thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my I acknowledge my tranfgressions my sin is ever before me. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned and done th evil in thy Nehemiah says: I ana my house have In case there was necessity to make confessions, for Joshua said to him: son, give, I pray thee, glory to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou bast done; hide it not from There is a disadvantage in hiding or concealing our sins, for it is said.

that covereth his sins shall not We do all we can lessen the number and the guilt of our sin in our own estimation. Some say they are withont sin. The Apostle says we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in we say that we have not sinned, we make him, that is God, a liar, and his work is not in We have encouragement to confess our sins, for we are told that God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins. We are told, whose confesseth and forsaketh them shall have By confessing our sins we have a better knowledge of the corruption our own hearts, and our need of lhe religion of Christ. We do hot realize the number of our sins, until we come to take some account of them.

We do not have any conception of the dreadful character of our sins, until we come to put one along side of another in the enumeration, and then all alongside of the Bible. We have no idea of the variety of our sins; until we face them as they appear in thought and word, and deed, in commissions aad omissions. hen we see the fearful record that memory has made, which we try to hide from ourselves as well as from the world, we are humbled into the dust, and cry, like one of old, be merciful to me a Dentrifice will beautifully whiten the teeth, insure healthy gums and sweeten the breath.

Mrs. Martha Killman, has been quite sick st her residence, on Comliili street.

Mra W. F. Minnick, is also confined to her bed by affliction. Among the visitors to the Executive Department to-day were Messrs. Willison and D.

W. Sloan, of Cumberland, and Police Commissioner Carr, and Dr. H. M. Rennolds, of Baltimore city.

Dr. James A. Setwart, Health missioner, of Baltimore city, was in n-pohs to-day. Mr. Jao.

Stewart of Washington, formerly of Annapolis, is visiting friends here. I Railroad There are no new in the difficulties between the A. W. 8., B. O.

railroads, beyond that stated in Capital. A Baltimore and Ohio official said Annapolis Company wanted the Baltimore and Ohio Company to make an agreement that it would have no traffic arrangements with the Annapolis Short Line Road as the requisite for continued relations with it. The Baltimore and Ohio is too big a concern to enter upon a conspiracy to bottle up competition. between Baltimore and the State capital. The people would not tolerate it.

The Annapolis Road takes business at Annapolis or both the Baltimore and Ohio and Baltimore and Potomac, but in Baltimore makes a rule that it will not deal with a line that connects with any other road to.Annnapolis. This is not a matter with the Baltimore and Ohio, but with the people. The next step will be for the Annapolis Road to make schedules so that its trains will not connect with the Baltimore and Ohio, and it will be for the people on the lines of the road outside of this city who have business in Annapolis to put up with the inconvenience. The Baltimore and Ohio will have traffic arrangements with the Short Line and propose to have the same with the other Col. H.

P. Underhill, president of the Annapolis Short-Line Company, said his road is completed now to a cannectiou with the Curtis Bay Line of the Baltimore and Ohio, aud has for several months been carryiug construction material and some local freights, llis company had set April I for opening for business. but the action of the other Annapolis road may fix an earlier date, lie could start passenger trains now at a notice, but no such step has been discussed. The other road had been surveying a line from Annapolis to Bay Ridge, which resort is owned by the Baltimore and Ohio, and is now reached by the Short-Line road. The Short-Line trains will use Camden Station, as has been done by those of the other Annapolis road, ana the route is byway of Curtis Bay.

President Underhill savs his line is exceptionally well built, and its passenger station at Annapolis is to be within a square of the execute mansion. The Baltimore and Ohib Telegraph Company has built a line Annapolis along the Short-Line Road. Hound Bay, an excursion resort on the Short-Line, 17 miles from Baltimore, is to be opened next season. Sabbath School Officers. The following persons were elected officers of the Wesley Chapel Sabbath School on last Sabbath: Superintendent, Mr.

Nelson Basil. This makes the twenty-fourth time that Mr. Basil has been honored in this particular. Superintendent of the Female Mrs. Mary Courts; assistants, Mr.

Daniel Medford, and Mrs. Jane Brown; Secretary, Mr. G. W. Jones; Treasurer, Mrs.

Mary Courts; Librarians, Mr. Roland Brown and Mr. Lewis M. Hopkins. The school is in a flourishing condition.

Thirty-five new scholars have been added during the past year. The school now numbers 200 scholars. Further Extension of the B. A 0 Express. On February 28th by reason of the ex- Si rut ion of their lease over the' Ohio and lississippi Railroad, from Cincinnati to St.

Louis, the B. have abandoned that route, and secured in lieu thereof the much more extensive and desirable route of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad, which went into effect yesterday, March Ist. This, in addition to the newly aevuired Queen and Cresent route gives them the advantage of direct communication with all Western and South Western points, making the longest continuous route operated by any express company East of the Ohio River, from New York to New Orleans. Money to be Refunded. The United States Senate has passed the House Bill to reimburse the deposition of the defunct Savings and Trust Company, for a number -of years located in Washington city.

This is a just measure and we learn that there are a number of- colored people residing in Annapolis and Anne Arundel County who put tlieir savings in this Bank, by which they were swindled, and who, if still living, or, if dead, their heirs-at-law, will now become beneficiaries under the law just passed- There are, no doubt, a large number of our colored people io this city and county who are also entitled to bounties, back pay, pensions and increase of pensions under the U. S. Laws. To all such we would recommend them to Mr. Fecrdinand Mullan, of this city, whose thorough acquaintance with such matters and the Department of Washington city is well known in this vicinity.

Proh sts Against a Bank Forger. Protests from several bank cashiers and presidents of banks of Baltimore city, were filed at the Executive Department to-day against pardon of William W. Massey, convicted in the Criminal Court of Baltimore city, of forgery and was sentenced to the penitentiary for five years. Massey, it will 4 be remembered was employed as teller of the Bank of Commerce, Baltimore, and swindled the bank out of a large sum of money, Free Trade. The reduction of internal revenue and the taking off of revenue stamps from PropHetasy Medicines, no doubt has largely be unfitted the consumers, as well as relieving the burden of home manufactures.

Especially is this the case with August Flower and German Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen, has been added to increase the size of the bottles containing these remedies, thereby giving one-fifth more medicine in the 75 cent size. The August Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, and the German Syrup for Cough and Luug troubles, have perhaps, the largest sale of any medicines in the world. The advantage of increased size of the bottles will be greatly appreciated by the sick and afflicted, in every town Je wi J. WALTER HODGES CITY CITY DRUG SHE, DRUG STORE. 68 Main and 5 Francis St.
