Mr.. Leo Wheat, the well-known
music connoiSseur, writes from ST
Denis, Md, that the statement to the
effect that he had been "adjudged in
sane and placed in an asylum is un-
true and does him an injustice In
explanation of his being at DR.. Con
rad sanitarium. Mr.. Wheat says: Il
came to this admirable and truly
hOmelike retreat TO rest in its sweet
/ quietness and TO recuperate my much
taxed enegies from unusually arduous
musical exercise and too long and free
libations of my own free will and ac-
cord and with the love and sympathy
Of my family and friends at home,

Last Friday afternoon a quarrel
between boatmen occurred on the
towpath of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal at Wiley's Fordins, four miles
east of Cumberland. In the fracas
William Smith was struck with club
by William r. Marmaduke, from the
effect of which he died next day.
Deputy Sheriff Macdonald was sent
to arrest Marmaduke, who was in a
canal-boat commanded by Capt. Will
liam w. Swain and bound for the
east. Swain at first denied any
knowledge Of the murdererS where
abouts, and the officers went through
the boat twice without finding their
man. After a second search they
threatened to fire into dark corner
of the boat where they supposed Mar
maduke was, and then Swain admit
ted his presence and called upon the
criminal to give himself up, which he
did. Marmaduke is about twenty
eight year, old and is native of Mer-
cerville, near Sharpsburg. He was
taken to Cumberland and lodged in
Jail. Smith leaves widow aud five
