The coop of Mr.. Rosenheimer, who
Lives next to Mr.. Sam Bennett, was re-
lieved, last night, of 10 chickens and a
half dozen turkeys by some light fingered
thief. Mr.. Rosenheimer kept his poultry
In the lot in the rear of his residence,
and heard no unusual sound last night to
arouse his suspicious. The thief had
the temerity to pluck the stolen poultry
before leaving the yard, as was wit
messed by the amount Of feathers found
this morning.

Captain Joe Shelly, who returned from
Medina county this morning says the
fence cutturs in that section are yery
obstreperous, terrorizing the States
witnesses and threatening to kill them
should they remain In the country. The
Captain, however, has invited any State
witness who feels his life to be at all
unsafe to come and take his residence
up in the ranger camp close by, where
they can obtain board and lodging for
next to nothing, and once in the camp
there will be little danger Of the fence
cutters attempting anything outrageous.
Law must prevail and order be main
tanned, for ''order is Gods first law and
tits the best" at least this is what
Captain Joe Shelly says, and his words
viii no doubt be backed by deeds.

Yesterday was summer day, though
the suns hot rays were not to be felt
and no oppressive heat to keep people
in constant state of torment. EARLY
in the afternoon the jingle of bells on
Houston street announced the thickly
crowded cars, quickly following one
another towards the springs. There Il
large concourse ofpeople strolling up
and down met the eye, while the different
attractions were well patronized.

JUNIUs said, In his terse way, that
''there is holy mistaken zeal in politics
as well as religion" and none who have
watched the heat and RANGER of political
debate In the United States can doubt
the truth Of his remark. Parry zeal,
when 1t oyersteps the bounds of modera-
tlon, becomes vice Of the greatest
magnitude. OF course, parties are in
evitable in free country, but this con-
stitutes no reason why men should allow
themselves to be crazed by zeal for a
party. Corrupt politicians profit largely
by this excess of party zeal, and spare no
pains to'inflame it. They appeal to the
passions and prejudices of their followers
rather than TO their judgments, and
never fail to assert that the country will
be ruined in case they should be defeated.
They set up as the saviors of the State
or the Nation, and ride into office by
binding the people to their selfish
designs. The 'mistaken holy zeal in
politics" has done an immense harm to
the Nation and is likely to continue
to do so, unless the people
shall determine to act nationally in poll
tics and to think and vote like ffeemen,
not like "dumb driven CATTLE" Reasona-
BILE men are apt to be thinking and
moderate men are not likely to do any
injury to their State or country,
and just such men are needed at this
juncture. Furious bigo.s and zealots
are plentiful; thinking, moderate men
are hard to find.

RUNS AWAY WITH HER COACH
MAN Annapolis, Md, July 22.-Dr
Henry Richardson is one of the veal
thiest and most successful physicians
of this county. He has handsome
country residence in the lower portion
of Anne Arundel, and his family has for
years been prominent in the State. The
Doctor is wdower, and his mansion
was presided over by sisterinlaw.
Miss Helen Owens, % years old, highly
educated, and very popular. She has a
tall and graceful form, large black eyes
with arched brows, and great mass o.
raven black hair. Her personal attrac
tiOns were famous throughout the coun-
ty, and she had many sultors, to all OF
whom she appeared wholly Indifferent.
Her great passion appeared to be horse
back riding, and she could often be
seen. mounted on white mare, dash
ing recklessly across fields, and iumpin.
fences at all hours of the day, year in
and wear out. When it became known
yesterday that this lady was suspected
of having eloped with negro farm hand
employed by her brother, very few peo-
pie would believe it. To-day the as
tonishing report proved to be true.
The colored farm hand, whose name
is Jesse Platter. is muscular man OF
fine physique, % years old, and nearly
white. lie was known to have the
greatest contempt for girls of his OWL
race, and was never seen in company J
with them. He was always the groom
or coachman accompanying Miss Owens
On Monday night Miss Owens and
Platter were both missing They were
seen walking quietly down the railroad
track late at night, and took a train on
the Pope Greek Railroad to Bowie Sta
ton, where they changed ears for Wash
ington. The man would readily pass
for white with those not knowing him.
A telegram has been sent to Washing
ton asking that they be arrested. The
girls friends and family claim that she
is certainly demented, and refer TO the
fact that she has an aunt i'll an insane
asylum The feeling against the negro
is intense, and the young men in the
neighborhood are talking ominou-ly oi
lynching.
