The Elkton Pigeon NIateh.

At the recent pigeon match at Mlddle-
town between Shockley and Parsons, a
match between representative marksmen
Of Delaware and Maryland was proposed.
The preliminaries were soon arranged and
Elkton selected as the place of contest.
Messrs. Radcliff, OF Milford, and Holmes,
of Dover, were selected as the Delaware
team, and Messrs. Williams, Of Port De-
posit, and Perry Barnes, of North East, as
the Maryland team. All of these are
"crack" shots, and the Marylanders are
professional gunners. It was at first pro-
posed by those who made the match to
have three contestants on each side, but
this idea was finally abandoned and the
team from each State was fixed at two. The
match took place yesterday in the mead
ows near Elkton, in the presence of sew
eral hundred spectators. The stakes were
S4OO, and each contestant was allowed
twenty-five birds. The Marylanders were
victorious, killing thirty-nine birds, three
more than the score of the Delaware boys.

BOstOn's Murder Mystery.
Neao York Sun, Saturday.

The indications tonight are that the mys-
terry of Mrs. Bells murder will be speedily
solved. I5 Is the opinion of those to whom
the following facts are known that she was
the victim of an irresponsible lunatic, who
this morning figured in q significant street
episode. AS the wife Of a well known
journalist was leading her little daughter
along the sidewalk near their home on
West Newton street, a man behind and on
the opposite side of The street called out to
them. The lady paused, thinking at first
that she might have dropped something;
but on the fellows approach she was alarm
ed at his wild appearance and the unmis-
takably insane glare of his eyes. Staring
fxedly at her. and without looking at the
child, he walked toward her, and as he
drew near put his hand deep into his breast
under his closely buttoned overcoat.
"Is that your child?" he abruptly asked.
Certainly; it is my little GIRL" replied
the lady, alarmed and edging away.
"But are you sure it is?" per- listed the
man, whose face was working coDvulsiively.
''There is no doubt about it, said the
lady, as she moved toward her door.
1T is a comely child,n said the man, fol-
lowing along behind.
The house OF the lady was only rod
away, and she went inside the door with her
child as quickly as possible. The man stood
hesitating on the sidewalk, his right band
still in his breast, until the door was fast.
He then moved slowly away. His resem-
blance to Mrs. Bells murderer did not oc-
cur to the lady until she described him >to
her husband this evening. The description
is an exact counterpart of that given of the
assassin, except that he wore a soft hat.
Otherwise, In dress, age and personal ap-
pearance he was the same. The police are
tonight securing the city for the fellow.

Frederick L. Jackson eloped from
Batavia, N. Y, last tuesday with Mrs.
Charles M. Hoyt, his step pmother-in-law,
and the couple are on their way to the
far West Jackson is man fOrty-nine
years of age, and leaves blind wife,
who lost her eyesight from a pistol
wound IN December, 1879. She was
shot by jackson, who Immediately ex-
hlbited symptoms of insanity, and
commission adjudged him insane He
was removed to the State Insane Asylum
in Buffalo, but was released in Septem-
Der last, being pronounced cured. Chas.
NJ. Hoyt, husband of the woman who
has run away with Jackson, is a gray
haired veteran of four score years. He
is the father of Jackson's wife.
His first wife died in July last, and IN
December he was united with his pres
ent wife, who had been for four years
previously servant in his household.
Jacksons family have been supported
for two years. by Hoyt, who has been
very liberal with his small means in sus-
tanning his daughter and her children.
There is much doubt among the Bata-
vians as to JacksOn's condition Of mind
at the time he shot his wife, many be-
lieving he attempted to make away
with his wife intentionally and then
play the insanity dodge to clear his skirts
of his crime. His elopement with his
benefactor's young wife has created
much excitement in Batavia, and it is
said that the shooting case will be pre-
sented to the grand jury, now sitting
there, in order that an effort may be
made to secure Jackson's return.
