A SLIGHT CHINESE MIS-
TAKE.

The monthly bills OF the Wash
sngton Gsslight Company are print
ed on paper of peculiar dirty vel
low tint which happens TO be the
exact hue of the Chinese emblem
of morning. The long strips are
left regularly at the doors of all
houses in the city, and at the Chi
nese Legation along with the rest.
Just after the change in Ministers
the strip was left as usual in the

FREDERICK.

The anniversary of the battle of North
Point and the writing of the Star
Spangled Banner" was very appropriately
celebrated in this city by the Key Monu-
ment Association, which held impressive
services Wednesday afternoon at o'clock
at the grave of Francis Scott Key in Mt.
Oivet cemetery here. A flagstaff was
planted at the head of the grave and a
large flag run up on it, after which an ad-
dress was delivered by Frederick ]. Nelson,
and group of little girls placed a wreath
of laurel on the tomb and strewed the
grave with flowers. There were over two
hundred school children present at the ex-
ercises.
Roslyn Hobbs was crossing the tracks of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at Hood s
Mill with team of fine horses, belonging
TO Harry Hobbs of Howard county, when
the team was struck by fast freight
train and three of the horses killed. They
were valued at $3.50. Mr.. Hobbs and the
other two horses miraculously escaped be-
ing killed also.
7 Harry Bradshaw, 4 young man formerly
employed as messenger boy at the tele-
graph office here. and who was indicted by
the August grand jury on number of
charges for obtaining money under false
pretenses, was released by the court We'd
nesday, upon pleading guilty, under a new
law, the operation of which is being watch
ed with some interest. If he should be
found guilty of another offense against the
law within the next three years he may
be sentenced by the court to five years in
the penitentiary. II is believed the law will
have good effect in keeping young men
out of the paths of crime.
Isaac Shriver has been found guilty in
the circuit court here of poisoning stock
on the farm of John Utz at townsville this
county, and sentenced to four years in the
Maryland penitentiary.

ROCKVILLE.

Now that the republicans, democrats,
populists and prohibitionists have made
their nominations in the sixth congressional
district it is expected that political affairs
in this section will become more lively in
the near future AS soon as all the demo-
cratic nominations for Congress have been
made in the several districts of the state it
is the intention of Hattersly w. Talbot,
chairman of the state central committee, to
call the nominees together and arrange for
meetings throughout the state. With the
prospect of carrying two, and perhaps
three, congressional districts in the state
it is not likely that the republicans will
allow the grass to grow under their feet.
Both democrats and republicans IL this sec
ton appear to be satisfied with their nomi-
nees, and full vote Will doubtless be polled
IL November. The populist movement, which
was inauguratad in this county during the
past summer, does not at present show
much signs of vitality, and is not expected
to make much change in the vote OF the
county. The prohibitioniStS, while not eX-
pecting to accomplish anything OF elect
anybody. will doubtless cast about their
usual vote in the county.

fist Church at his place on Sunday, 23d
