| At local antiques show, everything old is new again :
Annapolis is a city steeped in history, but this weekend the scope expanded beyond the state capital to the world with a cornucopia of rare and artful antiques. Everything from medieval European manuscripts to 18th- and 19th-century French and English barometers are for sale at the annual Historic Annapolis Antiques Show.
"It's a great location," said dealer Philip Dubey of Baltimore. "Annapolis has got such history. It's a perfect place to (show) stuff off."
The three-day event, which also includes plenty of unique furniture and art, concludes late this afternoon at Medford National Guard Armory. One of the show's 32 dealers hails from England and two are from Annapolis. The rest are from other parts of the country.
"We like it here, it's very intimate," said Tom Dawson of Dawson Gallery in Annapolis, who has been a dealer at the show for about 17 of its 37 years.

Suspect caught after chase
A chase by vehicle and foot ended at Davis Estates Apartments with the capture of one of two suspects Wednesday night. Officer David Curley said he clocked a car driven by Tracy Lynn Marable, 28, Old Pencil Mill Road, at 45 mph in a 30 mph zone on Coney Island Road. Marable allegedly sped up, ran a stop sign at the East Depot Street intersection and led officers to Anthony Lane and the apartment complex, where she and a passenger attempted to flee on foot after coming to a dead end in the parking lot. Verbal orders to stop were allegedly ignored by Marable until she "appeared to run out of breath," Curley said. "I took her to the ground to be handcuffed." The passenger, a man Marable told police she knew only as "Creep," ran behind one of the complex's buildings and disappeared.
