Uncourteous Treatment.

During the excursion of the Red Men
from this city yesterday to Ocean City "a
number of the excursionists, including
many of the ladies. took refuge from the
scourching rays of the sun under the
rude porches around the Atlantic Ho-
tel" to enjoy the ocean breeze and to
eat their light lunch, as many took their
dinners at the hotels. They had no
sooner seated themselves then two coll
ored servants of the hotel came around
and ordered them off in most authorita-
lively and insolent manner. In some in
stances the chairs were fairly pulled
from under them, aud when the remon
strated with them, they replied: The boss
says you must leave this porch-only
guests are allowed to sit here, and took
hold of the chairs and carried then in
side the hotel. Some OF the gentlemen
went to the hotel office and reported the
uncouth manner in which the ladies had
been ordered off the porch and asked il
the ladies and children could not re-
main and finish their nch-promising

our people went to Ocean City yester.
day for the purpose of staying several
weeks there, and we know of several
who would have stopped at the "Atlan-

Over 800 people some of our best citi-
zens-were on this excursion yesterday,
and the treatment they received at the
hands of this uncourteous proprietor of
the Atlantic Hotel" will never be for
gotten. They were received at the
Seaside" and other hotels with courtesy
and attention, where many of them took
their dinners and spent their money in
other ways Should any of our citizens
ever be unfortunate enough to visit this

Mr.. EDITOR VIII you kindly per-
NIT me to say few words through the
columns Of the CAPITAL. that / think
are due TO Chesapeake Tribe No %, l.
o. r. NJ, Of this city.
First. IL is a great moral force in our
city They do not hesitate 10 expel from
their ranks any who have fallen below a
proper standard of morality. While
they are anxious to increase their mum
bers, il must be OF proper material.
hence the moral tone Of the order is a
marked feature Of it.
Second. The idea that the good of the
order is for the best good of its mem
beers and their families. is incuIeated
from the first, and this We all know pro-
duces unity of spirit and the very best
results in any organization of men.
Third. The fraternal spirit and the
care of their sick brother is their most
prominent feature It is upon this
would, with your permission. lay stress.
As il has excited my admiration for the
order more than once. The sick bene.
fits are always certainty. and not fire.
quenty do they pay as high as $l4 80 a
week for the care and support of their
sick. Their officers pay the closest pos
ible attention to them and gentlemen
who have TO work hard all day, think
nothing of devoting their sleep hours at
the bedside of their sick brethren. !
AN not Red Man, nor have / any idea
of becoming one. The other orders
are all good. but have seen so much
of this that think justice expects this
kind OF thing once-in-awhile from out
siders.
do not know whether they have a
goat or not Gas some say that gets after
them when they go into the order, but
whatever it is, it does them a power OF
good. and fills them with enthusiasm
for the Order and their fellow man, and
a fraternal spirit that they are not
ashamed TO call each other brother
wherever they meet. But, If they have
such goat | wish TO goodness they
would turn it loose for awhile upon the
community, and let it give the business
fraternity butt or two. and let it bal
snce on its horns for awhile the dead
heads and bluebloods of our town. Long
live Chesapeake Tribe No 90, and all
similar orders. Yours, ID.

TOOK HIS OWN LIFE.
Mr.. John DuvalI Dies From a Dose
OF Strychnine
ADMINISTERED BY HIS OWN HANDS.

Our usually quiet and staid commune
ty was greatly disturbed this morning
when they learned OF the sudden and in
timely death Of Mr.. John Duvall. an old,
well-known and highly respected citi-
zen, at his residence on Gloucester street,
from the effects OF dose Of strychnine
administered by his own hands. For
some time past. and ever since the death
Of his older brother, Geo. Miller Duvall,
which occurred several months ago. he
has been in melancholy moode, and has
been suffering at times from an aberra-
tion Of mind.
He had threatened on several occasions
to take bis life. but nothing serious was
thought of it, yet strict watch was
kept over him by his sisters with whom
he lived. 1t was while in one of these
moods he got up between one and two
o'clock last night and getting glass
took the deadly poison and mixed il and
in spite of the efforts of his sisters TO
prevent him swallowed the contents.
Several of the neighbors were called and
informed of the rash act. and Drs.
Abram and w. C. Claude were imme-
diately summoned. When the Doctors ar
rived they found him suffering from in
tense contortions of the body and imme.
diately applied all the remedies known
but TO no effect. lie continued to grow
worse until he died about 4.30 clock this
morning. When asked by DIR Claude
when he got the poison, he replied six
months ago. The Doctors did all in
their power to counteract the effects of
the poison, but TO no avail 1t is said
he took enough Of the poison to kill a
half dozen men. Mr.. Duvall was civil
engineer, and considered one of the very
best in the State. He was valuable and
useful citizen and his death will be
generally regretted. lie was In his sew
enty-second year and unmarried. His
funeral will take place from his late
residence tomorrow afternoon at
O'clock.

The A. b. Short Line.

The CAPITAL has on several occasions
spoken of the advantages and the in
creasing traffic of the A. and b. Short
Line Railroad under its present able
management. The Morning Herald says
When Major c. A. Coombs assumed the
general management about IS months
ago two freight trains were run over the
road in a week. Now the major has
found it necessary to put on two day.
The road is immensely popular for pas
senger travel, the time made being most
satisfactory. Two pretty new station
houses have been completed. one at FL
walton, Is miles out of Baltimore, and
the other at Jones, five miles further on.
They are attractive in appearance and
commodious The Short Line is an i'm
portant feeder to the Eastern Shore
Railroad, with which two of its trains
connect daily except Sunday. Up to last
week Sunday train had started at 7 A.
NJ, making connections with the Eas-
tern Shore road and landing passengers
at Ocean City shortly after noon. This
train has been taken off, as the Eastern
Shore road people now start their Sun
day train from Claiborne on the other
side of the bay a 6 80 A. NJ, the OBJ
ject being to cater TO the Eastern
Shore public Major Coombs said
that he tried hard to have the other
road cooperate with him in giving &
train to Ocean City on summer Sunday
mornings, as many persons who are I'M
abe to get away on Saturday afternoon
would be glad Of the opportunity on
