Jones started for his hotel; but instead Of
going in the right direction ho went In an
opposite, going down Four-and-a- half street
When he reached the corner OF FOur-aud-
A. half street aud Virginia avenue lie could
proceed no further. The liquor got the
best of him, and ho fell on the Baltimore &
Potomac railroad tracks at that crossing.
Officer Tuinburke, who was patrolliug

cetding in the direction the cry came
from, found Jones lying on the track.
He picked the man up and carried him
to tho First Precinct Station House. He

before an incoming train passed over the
track be was lying on. Upon being

COLONEL sHERipAN,s ASSISTANT.
He Wants 10 be superintendent of
the Yellowstone Park.

A baclSwoodsman named Eyarts has filed
an application for appointment as superin-
tendent of the Yellowstone National Park
He claims to have been the dscoverer of
the park and says he has been a lifelong
Democrat. He sends his application through
Senator Vest. Senator Vest met Evarts
when he was with the Presidential party
that took in the Yellowstone Park and the
West generally a couple of years ago.
That tour will be remembered distinctly
by those who read the graphic dispatches Of
Colonel Mike Sheridan, giving details of
each days doings. Evarts acted as a guide
to the Presidential party in the Yellow
stone. 1t is said that it was owing to his
experience in telling Of sporting advcn-
lures that Colonel Sheridan was able to
thrill the country with daily report of
catches of hundrcds of fish, but little less
in size than whale and of daily bags of
game that would have made Nimrod tired
had he been able to read the English Ian
