THE CHAMPIONSHIPS GAMES.
Los Angeles Athletes Distinguish Them
selves at San Francisco. 81


Los Angeles Athletes Distinguish Them
selves at San Francisco.
Los Angeles was well to the front at
the annual championship meeting OF
the Pacific Coast Athletic association,
which took place on Saturday at the
Olympic grounds, San francisco. A. S.
Henderson, formerly of Los Angeles,
ran second in the 100-yard champion
ship race won by E. Mayes in 10 2-5
seconds. All things considered this is
not very much better performance
than Cards 100 yards in 10 As seconds.
Next year Gard will be speedy enough
to tackle the best sprinters in the state.
In the half mile run, J. D. Burks, OF
Los Angeles, ran second. This race was
won in the very fast time of 2:03 3-5,
therefore Cuck's performance was very
meritoriods one, especially as he fin
ished in front of such a good half miller
as Martin Espinosa.
A. s. Henderson, who run his first
race in this city, won the 220-yard race
in 231a seconds breaking the Pacific
coast record of 23 3-5 seconds. E. G.
Van Dyke of Los Angeles tied G. R.
Morse in the pole vault at 8 feet inches.
1t will therefore be seen that the few
Los Angeles competitors worthily up
held the prestige OF this city.

shipwrecked Chinese.

SAN Francisco, June 1.-The barken-
tine Katie Flickinger arrived this morn
ing from Chignik bay, Alaska, bringing

provide it chopped yoke of egg. If the
bird drops istlessly, get tonic at the
bird store. Keep the cage out of draughts,
and in q light, airy room, cover the bot

arc taken, the bird will pull through in

Words, Shots, Heart-Aehss'

The unvarnished story of the Gar
rison-Baird calamity points its own
morals, and points them sharply.
Men should guard their language;
men should keep their tempers; men
should not carry reyolvefs.
No matter what the provocations,
short of absolute menace which
places life in jeopardy beyond escape,
it is better to bear all than to plunge
into inconsolable grief two families
of helpless women and children.
Hard as it may be to bear personal
affront, no indignity can cut so deep
as the fatal bullet. Nothing that can
be said of man or to him makes
him other than he Is, His fellows
rate him at what they know him TO
be, not at what an enemy may say
of him.
1t requires cool head for the one
in immediate interest to take this
calm philosophical view OF the sub
| ject, yet every man who enters into
the social compact 10 under bond to
submit to the government he helps
to make and to govern himself; the
more trying the situation the more
imperative the obligation.
Personal encounters of any kind
are in violation Of the duty every
man owes to society. Encounters
with deadly weapons are at war with
our civilization. Men who go armed
through a peaceful community are
like powder magazines, which may
at any time explode with frightfll
result. The loaded revolver carries
within its dark chambers the posi-
bilities Of untold misery to the un.
offending Wheeling Intelligencer.

A TRAGEDY IN WHEELING.


WHEELING, w. VA, March 81
A tragedy which had been long pre-
dicted occurred on Eleventh street
at l0:40 o'clock yesterday morning,
when Dir. George Baird, ore Of the
oldest physicians of Wheeling, a
member of the city water board, ex
member of council and of the board
Of public works, member of the
bard of directors of the Wheeling
Bridge and Terminal Railway Com
pany and man very prominent in
local politics and municipal govern
ment matters, was shot twice and
almost instantly killed by DR.. Geo.
/. Garrison. The latter is member
Of the State Board of Health, late
health officer of the city and a man
widely known over large section
of country as an authority on mat
tiers of sanitation.
The murder was the outgrowth of
a feud gilmore than years standing,
and the crime created the widest
excitement. Many threats of lynch
ing were made against the murderer
since the shooting. About 8 o'clock
Saturday morning the two men met
at the second ward market and had
some words. They separated, but
about halfpast ten DR.. Baird drove
past DIR. Garrison. who was standing
at Market and Eleventh streets. As
DR.. Baird passed DIR. Garrison he
said to friend, aThere's going to
be trouble" He then walked up
Eleventh street and stopped DR..
Baird at the corner of an alley. The
two talked for moment, and DR..
Baird drove on about fifty feet and
alighted to see a patient. As DR..
Garrison came up he had a revolver
in his hand, and said: "fake that
back, Doctor"
DR.. Baird replied 81 don't have
to take it back, you niggerfed-"
DR.. Garrison then fired, and as
DIR. Baird slowly turned squarely to-
ward him Garrison fred a second
time. The ball took effect in Baird's
left eye, the first shot having enter
ed behind the right ear. DR.. Baird
walked into a store, said that DR..
Garrison had shot him, took off his
gloves and was dead in ten minutes.
DR.. Garrison walked down the street
holding his revolver until he met
policeman, to whom he surrendered
himself. The men were on the best
of terms until eighteen months ago,
Garrison even naming his son after
Baird. When Garrison was elected
health officer Baird performed the
duties of the office, allowing Garri-
son to draw the pay and attend the
lectures in Baltimore. On being
elected to second term, beating
DIR. Baird's son, there was a falling
out, and Garrison had Baird arrest
ed for violation of the health ordi-
nance. This led to personal en-
counter in the City Hall last August,
when Baird was knocked down.
Since then Garrison has threatened
to kill Baird, and yesterdays horri
BILE tragedy was the inevitable end.
DR.. Baird graduated in James G..
Blaine's class at Washington-J effer-
son College. Washington, Pa.

the Cumberland Valley Railroad
Company for the year ending De
cemher 1st, 1890, will be transmitted
to the stockholders in few days.
The report Is y splendid tribute to
the ability Of the company and
proves with what great care and
| judgement its affairs are directed by
those at its head. The policy of the
company has been careful and con-
seryative, with due regard to he
interests of the stock holders and the
patrons Of the road yet it has always
been progressive and ever watchful
to adopt any plan or make any i'm
proyement which promised TO furth-
er the interests of its stockholders
and of the public which it so well
serves. The manag ement of it
is not exceeded in ability by any 9th
err company in the country as the
fine showing made by this report SO
well proves.
The earnings of the main line and
leased roads including the Mont Alto
R. r. during the year we're 81 ,063,

The report says:
Our equipment has been strength
ened by the purchase Of three freight
locomotives. one shifting engine and
| twenty gondola cars. In addition to
these, three passenger coaches, one
combined car, two express cars, and
tool car have been built in our own
shops. The expenditures for the
same aggregated $S67,972.SO. We
are also building in our shops thirty
box cars, the material for which was
purchased, and have contracted for
the building Of fifty gondola cars
and thirty box cars; none of which
have been delivered, but we have APP.

We do not know why Congress
man Wilson voted against the bill to
pay West Virginia her share of
direct taxes, but the effort to pay
"Windy" Wilson ten per cent for
alleged services in getting the bill
through is not commendable. The
State has plenty of representatives
in Congress, well paid, and if they
are too indolent or too indifferent to
look after the interests of their con-
stituents, without hiring lawyer to
look after them, they should resign
at once.

CUMRERLAND BADLY SCAREL

CUMBERLAND BADLY SCARED.
The Cumberland Nelcs OF the 9th
inst. publishes an editorial under the
heading "A Town That Got Left"
that for pure bombast, is equal to
the woman, who in the bonnet line,
was accused by her husband of hav-
ing the "delirious trimmings" The
editor, not very automatically, ac-
cuses Martinsburg Of trying to bride
the B. & 0. r. R. Co. to retain their
shops here, and the charge follows
the acknowledgement of buying, as
will be seen by the following quota
ton, clipped from the article, viz:
"The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company have pledged themselves
in formal agreement to bring some
of their round houses and machine
shops now located in different towns,
to Cumberland, and they are to be
paid for doing so; therefore it is not
right that the people of Martinsburg
should attempt to secure from them ,
by bribery, violation of their con
tract"
Are they to be paid for doing SO
If SO, who is doing the bribery +? Ell?
Cumberland is a very nice town,
pleasant people ard all that; but out
side of her coal, which we all buy
and use, Martlnsburg can beat her
on limestone, fertile soil. and B. &
o. patronage. True, our town has
not offered the r. r. Co. thousands
OF dollars, wherefore then, this
charge of bribery? We say to-day,
that the diversified industries and
business of Martinsburg yields lar
ger pay to the railroad than does
Cumberland, though heretofore we
thought to the contrary. When you
pay them "for doing SO" stick to
it, though, "irom moral standpoint,
it is entirely uniustifable and des-
pisablc to the last degree" We say
so too, and wonder why you cast
stones after such admissions. Mar.
tinsburg is doing very well, thank
you, notwithstanding your paying
them to do SO &C., and will outstrip
you in population and manufactures
We are are booming" while you are
Cumming" and paying to do So
Come and partake of our prosperity
and it will be well with you, without
your paying to do so.
