A Fatal Fight Near Harper's Ferry.

David j. Markey died near Harper $
Ferry early last Saturday morning
from the effects of blow given him
by George W. Lapole, canal boatman,
Marley was a work hand about the
Ferry. He was member Of the we'll
known and respected Frederick family
of that name, and was 81 years old
He was subject TO spells Of temporary
mental alteration and was under
treatment on several occasions for his
affection. Friday afternoon he board
ed the canal boat in command of La
pole at Weverton with the intention
of going some distance up the canal.
Markey was under the influence of
liquor and the men began to quarrel
soon after he got on. LapOle states
that after they had gone about a mile
beyond Harper's Ferry he was obliged
to put Marley off the boat. Lapole
ordered him off and when he landed,
while Lapole was handing his luggage
out to him, he used such abusive Ian
guage that it angered LapOle, who
stepped off the boat and struck him
with his fist. Marley fell backward
and did not move after striking the
ground. Lapole called man from
the boat, who helped him to lay the
PROSTATE form aside of the towpath,
thinking he was very much under the
influence of liquor and that he would
be all right by and by. The boat was
again started and reached Williams
port Saturday morning, where Lapole
was surprised to find himself in the
hands ofSheriff BruceS. Zeller charged
with killing Marley. He was taken
to Hagerstown and lodged in Jail to
await hearing set for Wednesday be-
fore Justice Middlekauff. His boat
is tied up at Willamsport awaiting
results. The circumstances surround
ing the affair are very unfortunate, as
he had no idea, according to his state
ment, that Markey was fatally injured.
He knew nothing Of his death until
the sheriff told him. His home is in
Frederick county, and he says this is the
first trouble he was eyer connected
with. His family accompanied him
on the boat
Justice Preston Z. Miller held an
inquest on Saturday, and the jury re-
turned a verdict that Markey came to
his death by being struck in the face
by Lapole, fracturing his skull and
causing conclusion of the brain. The
testimony at the inquest was damaging
to Lapole, and was to the effect that
the assault upon Marley was very
brutal and that there was little to pro-
woke it. Marley never made any at
TEMPT to strike Lapole.

Daring Robbery at Harper's Ferry.

A pee uliar and daring robbery is
reported from Harper's Ferry. On
Wednesday night Of last week, near
midnight, while west-bound passen-
ger train was standing in front of the
railroad station at that place, the
building was quickly and successfully
robbed. When the train pulled up at
the station two young men stepped Oft -,
and as soon as they saw the station
master step to the train to see to the
handling of the freight they tore off an
iron grating, forced a window and
entered the station building. When
they got inside the Office of the pas
senger agent jimmy was used on one
of the drawers, and the daring burglars
carried off what money there was in it..
Just what amount Of money they got
no one except employees and officials
Of the company know, but it is known
that an adjoining drawer contained
between $500 and 81 900, and this the
burglars missed. The robbery was
discovered soon after the train pulled
out, but the thieves had boarded it
and efforts to capture them were I'M
availing. 1t is supposed they jumped
from the train as it slowed up at some
point farther west.
The B. & o. detectives have been
working hard on the case, but SO far
without success. 1t is believed that
the men concerned in the robbery had
something to do with the recent at
tempt to wreck train with dynamite
near Washington Junction. Detectives
Hutchinson and Marshall on Tuesday
interviewed the two men now IN jail
at Charlestown for the Shenandoah
Junction robbery, but did not get any
information of Importance from them.

The arena of the Seaside Athletic Club
at Coney Island never contained a larger
crowd of lovers of the fstic art than
last evening, when the club presented the
finest fstic card seen at the popular re-
sort. The principal attraction, of course,
was the twenty-five round battle at catch
weights between Veteran lake Kilrain
and Steve O'Donnell. The battle was a
red hot one. O'Donnell had the best of
it throughout, and pounded Kilrain until
the Baltimorean's eyes were closed. His
nose was also badly damaged, but the
plucky veteran stood up to his man
until the police interfered IN the twenty
first round. O'Donnell did not make a
very great impression because of his in
ability to hit hard. The opening bout be-
tween Marty McCue and Frank Patter-
son resulted in a draw. George F. Green,
better known as Young Corbett." de-
feated Tim Holmes in seven rounds
Green had his man at his mercy through
out the entire contest, and in the sew

stop the fight. The officials quickly
obeyed.
The next boxing exhibition of the Hud-
