Police Commissioner's Announcement

On July 21, 1877, two Baltimore Police Commissioners, the Maryland Governor, and the President of the Board of Police ask residents to abstain from gathering in crowds.

Office of Board of Police Commissioners,
July 21.

In the present excited state of the public mind it is important that no opportunity should be afforded for any disorder. All peaceable citizens are therefore expected to abstain from gathering in crowds, and to pursue their usual occupations, in order that the constituted authorities may maintain the peace of the city without difficulty or confusion.

JOHN LEE CARROLL, Governor
WM. H. B. FUSSELBAUGH, President Board of Police.
HARRY GILMORE, JAMES R. HERBERT, Commissioners of Police.
