Car-Dshee Matters.
Yesterday afternoon information
was lodged before States Attorney
Searle charging Patrick Dcfcder
with creating a racket on q street
car during the day. The necessary
papers we're issued by MIR. SearIe and
placed in Officer Brennan's hands.
and Pat was duly arrested aud taken
into the presence of Magistrate
Schroeder. by whom the hearing was
continued until today.
Pat Is a switchman on the Rock
Island road. Yesterday he got on a
Moline car, in charge Of Motorman
r. q. McCreery and Conductor A. NJ.
wyford. Pat. naturally, is a quiet
fcllew, but when ..bOoxology" at
tacks him, he becomes q general
nuisance. So it was yesterday, the
street car bell had an enchanting
power over the renowned Pat, and
he kept continually ringing it. Con-
ductcr Wyford demonstrated with
him, but in vain, and when the con-
ductor again remontrated, Pat ..soak-
ed" him on the nose. Now the diff.
ference in size between Pat and Mr..
Wyford is something more than an
inch. and Wyford is the smaller man.
He called on Motorman McCreery.
who responded. but then Pat whip
ped out a revolver. and the two
street-car men weakened and al.
lowed him to ride to his desti.
nation. but with one thought, and
that, "revenge," and hence the ar.
rest.
Defeder was taken before Squire
Schroeder this afternoon and pleaded
guilty to carrying a concealed
weapon, and was fined $40 and costs
The charge of assault with :
deadly weapon was then withdrawn

KYLE Pierce was given hearing

WORKED THE TRAIN.
How ~ Aged Wosan Did the Fas.
sesgess.

The east bound Rock Island pas.
sengcr train, the other day, carried
perhaps some Of the most disgusted
passengers that have pcered from the
car windows out on the streets.
From the appearance of the travellers
il was evident that there WAS some
thing wrong. After making inquiry,
a reporter accosted passenger, who
rather Reluctantly gave up the story
Of how he and his fellow passengers
had been successfully worked.
AT Grand Island" he said, ian
old lady boarded this train. She ar.
Peared very weak and feeble. The
conductor assisted her to a comfort
able seat, and asked some lady pas
seuger> to look after her. This was
done in a careful manner, but the
sympathetic women made huge
mistake. In some unaccountable
manner the old lady gave those who
gathered about her the impression
that she was without funds, and was
enroute to the home of her son in
Boston. Mass. An actress. the lead
ing character in Tuxedo, taking this
state of affairs at heart, passed
through the train and solicited aid
for the aged woman. About $l3 was
contributed. The sleeping car por.
ter gave fine pillow to the unfortu'
nate woman. saying she might keer
i, for use during her journey. An.
other sympathetic passenger pro-
duced bottle Of fine brandy ito keeI
her spirits up as he put it. WheI
we reached small station Just ives

gent looking young man entered tn,

Vet Was Wealthy.

the young man said that this womal
possessed wealth that could be esti
mated well up into the thousands
We also learned that she had in he
possession about $500. more than an,
other passenger on the train coul,
boast OF. Well. there was the money
the pillow. the brandy and decided
imposition on charity that was tn,
result of woman's blunder."
When the train pulled out OF tn
depot the poor woman" was seel
comfortably reclining in one Of tn
hes; upholstered seats on the train
and apparently oblivious to the littl
inciden, in which she had figured n

The Congressi onal Nomination.

Editor Sentinel: Please give these few
lines place in your valuable paper:
The time for the Congressional conven-
ton is drawing near, and it is our duty as
Democrats, irrespective of all considerations,
to look out for the beet man to present
to that convention. The Hagerstown MdH
suggested the name of Ferdinand Williams,
OF our county, for the nomination, and it
was well and wisely done. Past contests
have proved that you cannot elect any Dem
ocrat to Congress who does not live in Allie
gany county. We tried John Richie, (2nd
term) Messrs. Peter, Baughman, Nelson,
Blair and Douglass, from other counties,
and in all OF these we failed. We elected
two Democrats from Allegany county, each
OF them leading two Republicans.
Our county is largely Republican-S00
majority, No Democrat can be elected to
Congress without he gets large percentage
OF that vote. No man living outside of Al
legany county can get as much of that vote
as man living in the county. There is no
man in the county that will get rs many
Republican votes as Mr.. Williams will II
he is not nominated fear the result. We
OF Allegany do not ask this nomination as
being our right to get it, nor do we say that
our man is better than any other in the
counties composing the congressional dis
trict. We ask 1t so as to keep the Sixth dis
trict in the Democratic ranks where she now
is. We think we can do that better by NOM
mating an Allegany county man than any
other. POToMAC
