KILLED HIMSELF UNDER ARREST.
The community was shocked to hear
of the death Of Mr.. Thomas Holman
at Blythewood on "Wednesday evening.
Sheriff Ellison went down Wednesday
to arrest him under a warrant charg-
ING him with embezzling S57 from the
Southern Express Company, at Carl
ton, Ga. lie had been employed there
rs telegraph operator and agent OF the
Southern Express Company, and IN
some way got short in his accounts.
The sheriff in Georgia came over after
him, and got Mr.. Ellison 20 make The
arrest. Mr.. Hoffman made no re-
sistance whatever. While the Sheriff
had him in the depot at Blythewood
waiting for the north-bound train,
Mr.. Hoffman stepped behind the rail-
ings or counter, and having procured
a pistol in some way shot himself
through the heart. He had his back
to the Sheriff, standing in between the
Sheriff and the agent, whs was writing
at his desk with his back to Mr..
Hoffman. No ono was in the room
except the Sheriff and the agent, and
both were startled at the sound of the
pistol. He died within five minutes
after he was shot.
We understand that Mr.. Hoffman
had offered to pay his shortage, but a
settlement was declined. We heard
from a reliable gentleman that Mr..
Hoffman told him last fall that he had
got short in his accounts in some way
that he (Hoffman) coald not explain.
1t seems that if he offered to make
good a shortage that occurred in way
that he could not explain it should
have been accepted by the company.

thing is chaotic. The silly err men are still
at sea as to their course for they are too
much concerned at the loosening of their
grip on the masses to think much about the
question of candidates at present.
The gold democrats-and they include the
more Intelligent men of the party-are
many or them talking quietly of Whitney,
Whie others talk of Cleveland 1t is as
eonlshng what sentiment there is in
FAVOR OF another nomination for Cleveland.
Inc average democrat seems to think him
the only man with whom the party can
win' and that with him. perhaps, it can so

The talk about Secretary Morton as pres
loential timber of course is a matter of
much interest here, in his own state
naturally, the suggestion of a Nebraska
man Tor the presidency arouses much en-
lnuSlasm in the breasts of a large majority
OF the democrats of the state. Yet it goes
almost without saying that man of Mr.
Mortons vigorous characteristics could not
nave nVed thirty years or more in a com
nlunity without creating some personal and
pont'cal antagonisms. while it is equally
apparent that the silver men of his own
party here would resent his extreme posi-
uon on this question. So it is not at all
clear that the Nebraska democrats are
gong to rend their linen, as a mass, to
even put favorite son in the field.

ST. BARrHoLoMEw,s LOAN BUREAU.
Years Operations of the Establish
ment Started by Rev. DIR. Greer.

Year's Operations of the Establish
ment Started by Rev. DIR. Greer.
Mr.. James A. MacKnight, in a recent
number Of Harper's Weekly, relates the his
tory of the st. Bartholomew Loan Bureau.
which was started about a year ago in New
York by Rev. DIR. Greer. The loans of the
bureau fo- six months have amounted to
about $65 600, and the monthly installments
repaid already amount to over 5000
With a total capital of about Sal 600 the
total loss IS to July, 1898. do not exceed 500,
and the total amount Of outstanding loans
on which delinquent payments are overdue
amount to less than $4,000. Mr.. MacKnight
says that experience covering a period Of
sixteen months has convinced the directors
that these loans cannot be made at lower
rate with the present capital Of the bureau.
The requests for loans are at least ten times
greater than the capacity OF the bureau,and
1t is safe to say that seven out of nine who
are turned away are just good clients as
those who are accepted, but the bureau now
makes a rule of accepting no more applica-
tons than it Is able to attend to within
reasonable time.
The law of the New York legislature IN
DER which the bureau was organized, allows
all interest rate Of % per cent per annum,
but the Society of st. bartholomew has
fxe1 its rate at ~ per cent per annum, and
is successful at that figure. When it is
realized that the pawnbrokers charge 100
per cent per annum, it is seen what saw
ing the bureau makes to those poor people
who are the least unable to pay high rate
Of interest.

Shannon has received an offer to manage
the Washington team of the National
League next year.
Dan Shannon, it will be remembered.

season of 1891, when Washington was rep
resented in the American Association. He
came here with several Omaha players and
starttE ;n to play second, but, owing to an
injtty received before coming here, was
competed to give up playing. He was sub
sequently released. as his physical condl-
ton kept him from the city when he was
most needed.

LEADERS MAY PLAY,
A Proposition Discussed in Depart
mental League Circles.

Proposition Discussed In Depart.
mental League Circles.
There is great deal Of talk in the De-
partmental League as to the feasibility of
having the three leading teams, the Bu-
reau of Engraving and Printing, the Wash
ington Light Infantry and the District
Commissioners. play a series of nine
games after the completion of the second
series of the regular schedule.
1t Is said that these games would be a
great drawing card. Good games are al
most an assured fact between these three
teams, and If the game between the Blu
reau and the Commissioners which was
played Thursday is any criterion, the pro-
posed games Will equal good many Ma
tional League contests IN snap, vim and
all that goes to make up an interesting
game of the national sport.
1t has already been placed before the man
agement of the body and there is every like
lhocd that the project will receive the
support OF all the members of the league
comThittes. The three teams which have
bee1 selected are without doubt the strong
est amateur teams in the city. and as there
is the greatest amount of rivalry between
them there will be no danger Of any enc
of them giving Up the Eight before it is
half over.
The Bureau are putting up their usual
strong steady game and are winning right
along. The w. l.. L. are also winning, and
fa"e team at present which Is thought
to be the strongest in the city. The D.
C. O.'s have been strengthened by the adj
dtion of several new men, and expect to
be able to hold their own with the other
two clubs.
The Treasury Department and the W. L.
l. teams play today, while the District
Commissioners will Inaet the G. p O.
team for the last game of the second Sc
rio of the schedule riaxt Friday, August
%.
There are several Eames which have
been postponed for ore reason or another
however, and these will have to be played
off before the standing of the clubs will
be perfect. These games are as follows:

gives viii be played either next week or

OF these, the game between the Bureau

The Senators Struggled Hard, but
Baltimore Won.
The Washington ball players were unfor-
tunate yesterday. They ran I'D against a
game that probably no team in the league
could beat, and the Orioles IN by a score
of IL to 8. The Baltimores were evidently
determined on revenge for the unexpected
defeats they have suffered at the hands of
the Senators. From the very start they hit
the ball like battering rams and fielded
like fiends.
At the end of the second inning they had
made ten hits and ten runs Tough to win
the game. While they were not batting In
the first two innings they whiled away
their time nipping two-base hits and home
runs in the bud by extraord nary fielding.
Under ordinary circumstances the Senators
batting record would have been better than
1t was yesterday.
Keller in right garden VIZ particularly
active, aud the way he pulled of long flies
from the right-feld fence excited the adj

After the second inning Mercer. who was

their score, and then they made two runs,
increasing the score to 10.

visitors succeeded in increasing their score
by two in their half Of the eighth and this
clinched the victory The Senators fielded
a perfect game with the exception of one
error by Salbach after a hard run, and
made plucky fight against big odds.
Umpire Murray did not give entire salts
faction to the crowd, but on the whole his
umpiring was good. He had several close
decisions to make. but his views did not
always accord with those of the fans.
Cartwright was not able to play yester-
day, and Clarke, the Oriole catcher, who
was responsible for his injuries i'll prev1-
