to be concealed in Baltimore. Baltimore was in the department of Annapolis, of which Butler was •commander, and the permission implied the use of troops. Having promised Colonel Jones, of the j Sixth Massachusetts regiment, that his men should again march through Baltimore, he summoned that regiment from the capital to the Relay house. With these and a few other troops and two pieces of artillery well manned, in all a little more than a thousand men. he entered cars headed towards Harper's Ferry. They ran up the road a short distance, and then backed slowly past the Relay house and into Baltimore early in i the evening, just as a heavy thun-j derstorm burst upon the city. Few; persons were abroad, and the citizens were ignorant of this porten tious arrival. The mayor was soon j afterwards apprised of it, and sent a note to Colonel Butler inquiring what he meant by thus threatening the peace of the city by the presence of a large body of troops. When the mayor's message arrived! at the station, Butler and his men had disappeared in the gloom. Well piloted, they marched to Fed-, eral Hill, an eminence that commanded the city. The rain fell copiously; the rumble of the can-1 non wheels mingled with that of that o( the thunder, and was mis-1 taken for it. and the lightning played around the bayonets. In his wet clothing, at near midnight.! General Butler sat down and wrote a proclamation to the citizens of Baltimore, assuring all peaceable citizens full protection, and intimating that a much larger force j was at hand to support the govern-1 ment in its effort to suppress the rebellion. This proclamation was published in the city paper the next morning, and the people of Baltimore received the first intimation that the town was in the actual possession of national troops. In a single night a little more than a thousand men had accomplished under an audacious leader, what Seott proposed to do with twelve thousand men in an indefinite time, j From that time the troops were en abled to pass freely through Haiti-1 more from the north; and in the | middle of May the national capital was so well protected that it was regatded as absolutely safe from capture by the insurgents. Such thrilling incidents as this is of in ! terest to old and young alike, and! are to be fount! vividly portrayed
Mr. Ca*** still in th*» Fight. Editor Banner Times: I want through your paper to thank tile republicans of Putnam county for the undeserved support given to me by them in the race for congress. It was a loyal, gallant and persistent support, such as has not been extended to any other Putnam county man in twenty years, and no one knows better than 1 know that 1 have yet to merit and prove myself worthy such an honor. I sought that nomination and with my friends made an open, honorable and manly battle. I wanted that nomination because it is the year to be on the republican ticket, because whatever may lie said of the great questions which enter into human government, whether the republican party lias been or is right is not so much u question now. If the tariff' was a tax in IHSig, it is still a tax. If it was for the “classes against the masses" in 1892. it is stiil for the “classes against the masses.’’ If it was “legalized robbery,” then it is certainly “legalized robbery” now. With all power for a year and a hall the other party lias not changed it. It lias come to the question, shall we be “robbed” and still have plenty or shall we be “robbed" and have nothing. I believe the people this fall will conclude that it is better to be “robbed’’ and have
prosperity.
The coming of the Savior of the world never more perfectly fulfilled a prophecy than the conduct of the opposing party has fulfilled the predictions made by republicans for the last ten years. No political party may expect to succeed unless it is right. I believe the republican party is right in Putnam county, in the district and in the state and I believe the people believe it and more, they are convinced of it. In this campaign in the county, state and congressional conventions the republicans of Putnam county have demonstrated to a mathematical certainty that they tire united as never before. In suedi union there is strength, there is hope, there is victory. My services this campaign shall lie first in and for Putnam county. Command me at any time. Charles B. Case. May 14, 1894.

It is said that Muncie lias a young woman with the largest mouth of any female in Indiana. The other night she was groping around in her darkened room hunting her false teeth, and her hand came in contact with a horseshoe which had carelessly been left upon her dresser. The iron shoe having the same shape as a set of upper false teeth, she put it in her mouth and never discovered her mistake until she went to clean her teeth.

The Marylanders do not relish their presence even a little bit and threats are being openly made of compelling them to move on. Sufficient rations to feed the men is getting to be a serious problem with C'oxey; he has got about all from Washington that he will get, and the Maryland people say they don’t intend to encourage their stay by helping to feed them.

There was expert evidence given and some that wasn't expert. The pleading of the attorneys was eloquent and in some points they brought tears to the eyes of the judge, jury and auditors in their efforts in behalf of the aforesaid male mule. He’s gone, the case is ended, justice no doubt prevails and the details of the voluminous evidence will never appear in print. The jack should, however, have a monument. ADDITIONAL LOCAL.
