He Breaks Away, but is Recaptured.

Among the legal residents Of this city is a
young oolored man named Robert Carroll, who,
like hundreds of other people hereabouts, is

fall he pines for change Of diet and bankers
after feathered game. He is the owner Of a
gun and thinks he is having great fun when he
is popping away in the woods. Yesterday
he had holiday, and with his gun over
his shoulder and dog following him he started
for the country. Out along the Brentwood road
he went, land seeing an opening in the fence in
closing the Patterson estate he went through
it and was looking for game, when Policeman
hardwood appeared on horseback and shouted:
''Hold on there; you are under arrest"
''What forp" he asked the policeman.
'For trespassing on this ground" the officer
replied
''But I've got permit" said Robert.
"Well, said the policeman, "come on to the
house and prove it"
A LIVELY CHASE.
OF they started up the hill together, but
Robert soon made a break for liberty. The
officer started after him, and while running
through a narrow path in the woods Carroll q
foot caught in the root of tree and he fell
headlong down the hill. The horse was going at
three-minute gait. and the officer was unable
to stop the animal and 1t ran over the fallen man.
Carroll was not badly injured. The officer
returned and as Carroll arose he said: "My,
but your horse can 60 through the woods fast. F"
IN THE POLICE COURT.
Carroll was taken to the Police Court today
and charged with trespass.

THE GEOLOGICAL PARK,
The Surveys of the Land to be Com
pleted In a Few Days.

The surveys Of the land to DO taken
for the geological park is being rapidly
pushed forward, and it is expected
the work will be completed
within week. Some difficulty in reaching
final settlement of matters connected with the
Geological Park has arisen from the fact
that 1t has been discovered that in some cases
the boundaries of parcels of land involved, as
described in the deeds, lap over each other
In such cases it is probable settlement will
be reached by referring the whole matter
to the court The surveys will be
made according to the deed and
the bounds marked down on the plat showing
just Where they cross and lap each other
The commission will hold meeting in a few
days, at which they will prepare the esri-
mates to be submitted to Congress. To assist
them in this work Mr.. Hornaday is preparing
general plan of the park with the roadways,
buildings, bear pits and other adjuncts OF a
geological park all put down.
This plan will also show the elevations and
customs.

from the word ''classes," thereby altering the

When Father - reappeared in the class

the alteration. He frowned slightly, but the

Clagett president of the Columbia railroad
company, requesting permission to pave be-
tween the tracks of his railroad with the
granite blocks LEFT over by the Washington

Symons says that the blocks in question are
very poor at the best, aud recommends that
the request be not granted.
