there can bo no doubt that when it is made
public through the ordinary channels OF the

A Thrilling Itcncnntre.

Among the more important news telc-
graphed to the press on Sunday night was the
startling statement that "the beautiful
balmy Sabbath afternoon was taken adj
vantage of by many weary journalists and
statesmen to rccuperate their wasted ener-
gies in drive to the beautiful suburbs of
Washington. At the main entrance to the
Soldiers Home, which is the flvorite resort,
ratheran interesting episode occurred There
was ut the time somewhat of u rush of
vehicles at the gate, and they had to wait
their time to get in. Three carriages got u
little mixed up, and the occupants had full
opportunity to gaze into each others coun-
tenances and exchange the congratulations
of the season if so disposed In one of these
carriages the prominent figure was President
Garfield, in another Secretary Blaine, and
in the otherex-Assistant Postmaster General
Brady, Mr.. Gorham, the distinguished editor
of the Republican, and Mr.. Buell., the able
and brilliant editor Of the Cdpitdl.'
1t has since been rumored that Room Soy
had held a consultation to see whether there
was any provision in the revised statutes, the
common law, the code of Maryland as adopt
ed for the District in 1901, the acts of the
late ieatherduster legislature, or the ordi-
nances of the extinct common council OF
Washington city, making the above dcscrib-
ed oflense indictablc. None but newspapers
belonging to the syndicate need apply for
particulars

There never is popular outburs5 Of vir-
tuous indignation over public shortcoming
that one does not find, If he looks closely be-
hind 1t, a more vigorous incentive to prosecu-
ton than patriotic zeal
This row affords no exception. Were these
now obnoxious star routes suppressed or cut
down to n self-sustaining figure, the express

How Dom Piatt's Star Route was
EXOcdited.

We have, for example, Star route in this
happy valley. J0ncs-n0t our Jones, made
famous by his dyspepsia and The Capital,
but another Jones, equally disagreeablc-
carries tri-weelIly mail from Spring Hills,
through West Liberty, Mac-o-cheek, to
Pickercltown. Jones moves like the sun, so
slowly that we have to sight him by stakes
of the Virginia rail fence to know that he is
moving.
Now, don't know, but judging from the
mails of Spring Hills, Mac-o-cheek and
Picllercltown, doubt whether the Govern
ment gets enough to pay Jones and his poll
eviled, spawned, string-halted animated
hat rack, let alone the three postmasters
who, with spectacles on nose, sort over and
distribute the mails.
But, the devil! We must have mails.
Would you deprive us of mails because we
don't get enough to pay Jones?
The wicked boys of West Liberty expo
ditcd our Star route once. They clapped II
thorny branch under the tail of his patient
animal, and Jones was amazed to find the
time lcssened in the most extraordinary
manner. The Star-route horse, as the Ger
man in the old comic almanac expressed it,
'trotted mid his fore legs, cantered mid his
hind legs, and galloped mid his belly" and
ended by landing Jones and the United
States mails in mud-holc.-Cdpitdl of Su,-

Milton Fields, colored, was killed at Old
town, Allegany county, Nd, on Saturday
evening, by George alias Clint Scott. The
men quarrcled at a horse race in the after
noon, but were separated, In the evening
tho quarrel was renewed and Fields struck
at Scott. The latter parried the blow and
struck Fields quick blow under the jaw
staggering him. Before Fields could re-
cover Scott followed him up and kicked him
in the breast and struck and kicked him in
the face, Fields being knocked down. By
ISLANDERS quickly interfered and attempted
to revive Fields as he lay on the ground,
but he never spoke after the assault, and
died after one or two gasps. Scott made no
attempt to escape and was arrested. An in
quest was held by Justice Piper and ver-
dict rendered, fixing the crime upon Scott,
who was committed to jail. He will plead
self-defencc. Neither party was armed and
Scott used nothing but his fists and feet
