FREDERICK NOTES.
What is Going on in Town and County.

Correspondence Of THE EVENING STAR.
FREDERICK, Nd, August IA.
Considerable excitement and speculation has
been aroused here among business men and
others relative to recent deveopmentsin the pro-
ject Of the proposed Washington branch Of the
Gettysburg and Harrisburg railroad. It il
understood that the proposition Of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad people will be accepted and that
the new road will positively be run by way Of
Frederick. The plan now is to tap the line of
the Pennsylvania railroad at Kingsdale, Pa,
about ten miles from Gettysburg, the new line
to use the tracks of the Pennsylvanis railroad
thence to Frederick. From here new line will be
built direct to Washington by survey already
made and which reduces the number of miles
to thirty-fve. At Washington the new road
Will again use the tracks of the Pennsylvania
railroad and also the depot Of the Baltimore
and Potomac. If the negotiations now pend
ing do not fail it is likely that the new road will
shortly be in course Of construction.
In conjunction with the interest at present
being manifested here in the preparation for
the annual county fair in October next an ex-
tract from the diary Of an old resident has been
found which relates that the first fair was held

The New Orleans Picayuaes Purvis, Miss,

L. Sullivan, by and in pursuance of q previous
appointment and arrangement made to meet
and engage in prize fight with Jake Kilrsin,
and for large sum OF money did, unlawfuliy,
engage in prize fight In a ring commonly
| called prize ring, and did then and there beat,
strike and bruise the said Jake Kilrain against
! the dignity OF the state of Mississippi. The
indictment gives the names of six of the grand
jurymen as witnesses. They were at the light.
indictments were also found against Referee
Fitzpatrick, Jake Kilrain, Muldoon Cleary and
Donovan.
The indictment against Fitzpatrick charges
him with aiding and abettins IN the fight, but
did not specify in what way. The capias issued
for the parties outside the state who had been
indicted will be returned to the court marked

The governor seems to be more friendly in

siders him less blamable than some Others in
the affair.
