Those Reisterstown clod -hoppers, who call
themselves the "Eclipse" baseball club, had
very severe eye to the eternal fitness of things
when they selected a name, as they have been
"ecipsed" by about everything in the shape of a
town. But yet they think they know it all and
the way they cock their hats on one side and talk
big about betting, might make one laugh were it
not for the utter righteousness of the thing. The
Blind Asylum nine expect to have pic mic when
it gets hold of the ECLIPSE" aggregation.
$1,000 Settled a Shooting Case.-The
particulars of the shooting of Joseph S. Hoshall,
proprietor of tavern at Piney Hill, on the York
turnp Ike, by John Keheler, of Baltimore, are
still fresh in the minds of our readers. Keheler
was indicted for assault with intent to murder.
Hoshall, whose wound was most serious one,
fingered long time between life and death but
commenced to improve and now appears entirely
well. The case against Keheler was called in the
Circuit Court here on Wednesday, but as young
Corrigan, the man who was with the accused on
the night of the shooting, and who was an i'm
portant witness, was absent, an effort was made
to again put the case off. Finally, after consid-
cradle talk between counsel the following paper,
addressed to States Attorney Burke, was produced
in Court:
aft in your power to have the traverser in the
above cause so punished that may be compen-
stated to some extent for my great suffering and
loss of time without injury to the cause of justice
I would be very glad The defendant has paid
and secured to be paid to the sum of 81, 900 on
account of the above, and think the payment of
such sum will be quite punishment if the court
will take the same into consideration in the i'm
position of fine upon the traverser in the event
of conviction. And I do not desire to prosecute
defendant on the first count in the Indictment
JOSEPH S. HosHALL.
Test-John F. Centrum.
The States Attorney then abandoned the first
count in the indictment, Keheler plead guilty to
common assault, the Court imposed a fine of S25
and costs, amounting in all to $60.83, and he was
then released. Robert R. Boarman, Esq, was
counsel for Keheer.
The Wilson Sanitarium.-This noble insti-
tuition, located on the Western Maryland railroad,
near Pikesville, was visited q few days ago by
about two hundred physicians and large num-
Der of other gentlemen from Baltimore, prepare
tory to its opening for the season on Monday last
The sanitarium is equipped with every appliance
for the treatment of sick children free of CHARGE
during the summer months, and a competent staff
Of ply sicians. There are cottages for very sick
children and provision for their mothers. The
extent and variety of the equipment is really
marvellous. No detail seems to have been omitted,
and the place itself is a delightful retreat. Mr..
Francis 7. King, of the trustees, said that last
year 1896 mothers and 5,117 children had been
entertained, which was large increase over the
previous year. He hoped this season to see the
number raised to 10000 mothers and children.
DIR. J. Carey Thomas, while asking the co-opera-
ton of the physicians, said the medical staff at
the Sanitarium did not propose to change any
plan of treatment. The buildings, he said, are to
be extended; a large hospital for children would
be erected where the little patients could be treat
ed the year roond, and it was hoped to have the
buildings completed in three years. About 800
tickets are now in the hands of nine physicians
employed in Baltimore to distribute them and as
many more as are needed will be issued; while the
police last week distributed over 5000 cards tell
