Strange Freak of a Cat.

Saturday, September 28th, while fishing
in the Potomac with friend our atten-
ton was drawn to the cries Of a cat on shore.
The cries continued for some time, now near
to us and then further off, the cat seeming
very uneasy The cries ceasing and we,
busy with our lines, ceased TO attend to the
matter, when we seemed to be conscious
that something unusual was happening and
looking back TO shore found the cat IA half
grown kitten) had boldly struck out for our
boat and was then more than half way TO
where we were anchored. We were not
less than fifty yards from the waters edge.
The kitten swan rapidly, was taken aboard,
fed and, when dried off, seemed as happy as
any "Old Salt"
Ii any one else has seen a cat take to deep
water would like to hear something about

struck a Boulder is deemed a
possible attempt TO wreck the valley train
Sunday night wac made just east of Gath
ersburg. The train reached that place at 8
o'clock, and struck something upon the
track, which was felt by the engine men,
The train proceeded TO Washington Grove,
and it was there discovered that the cow
catcher had been wrecked. Agent Hill
started out TO find what the train struck, and
found appearances of an attempt to wreck
the train. Information was wired to Wash.
ington.
On later train Baltimore and Ohio de
tective arrived, and, with Constable Horton
q. Thompson, made an investigation, find
ing that huge stone had been placed upon
the track The scene OF the plot is almost
opposite Christian Hurlebaus' bakery and
along dense pine grove. Three men, two
colored and one white, who refused to talk,
were found and taken into custody and have
since been lodged in Jail at this place, after
hearing before Justice Crawford.
The railroad officials are inclined TO be-
lieve that there is nothing in the affair be-
yond the accidental rolling on the track OF
the stone, as it occurred in deep cut on the
road. 1t is also said that the officers arrest.
ed the tramps as Migrants, simply to see II
they could learn anything of the affair.

A Musical Treat.

At the Town Hall, on Friday, October the
18th, there will be given concert by COM
pany composed of the cream OF Washing.
ton musical and dramatic talent, which
promises to eclipse anything of the sort that
has ever been heard in Rockville.
Out of the large number of prominent
Washington entertainers these, the princi-
pal ones, have been picked to make up the
organization, and as they all have social
standing and as number of them are well
known here, tits expected that not only will
our citizens as whole be present in goodly
numbers, but that the exclusive society for
which our town is noted will turn out to
do them honor.
A mention of the members of the COM
pany speaks volumes in itself. Messrs. Gull
len and Collins, Washington's leading ban
joists, with Mr.. @. F. McEnany as accom-
PIANIST, have numerous press notices from
leading newspapers speaking of them as be-
ing unexcelled in their line of artistic banjo
playing by none. They handle the most
difficult and classical selections easily, and
have repertoire which appeals to all class.
es, consisting of popular and classic airs,
Sousa's and other marches, darkey melodies,
medleys, etc. Mr.. Jos. Cullen and Mr.. Nc
Enaney were here with the Washington
Mandolin, Banjo and Guitar Club. and Mr..
w. G. Collins has for years been a recog-
nized king of the banjo.
Mr. George O'Connor is well known here
and is favorite everywhere with his comic
up-to date songs.
Pretty Alice johnson, formerly of the
Henrich's Grand Opera Company, with
which she made a decided impression, has
q sweet voice of great power. She also is
ing been here all the summer.
Among the new entertainers to Rockville
may be mentioned Mr.. j. ]. Fisher, Wash.
ington's leading baritone, who has a voice
of remarkable force and purity.
These represent the musical part of the
program.
The literary part will be taken care of by
Messrs. j. Barton Miller and Guy V. Col.
Inns, of the Linthicum Students, the Capt.
tails principal amateur dramatic company
They will give dramatic and comic recita-
tons
The whole is under the management OF
Mr.. Guy V. Collins, who promises US a pro
gram of a very high order which is inter-
esting throughout. The principal part of
attractiveness will be that it caters to and
suits all classes and all tastes.

Body Identified Mr. Jas. ii. Briggs,
near Gaithersburg, has at last ascertained
the whereabouts of his missing son, Uriah,
who left Gaithersburg about six weeks ago,
while in attendance at church with his
parents. Shortly after his disappearance
freight train. Before dying he was taken
to a hospital, and one arm amputated, and
gave his name as Briggs while unconscious.
About the same time young man left home
In Baltimore named Mahoney, who was of
similar description as young Briggs. Mr..
o. N. Briggs, brother of the latter, and
Mr.. Mahoney, brother of the former, were
both summoned to Cumberland, and upon
investigation it was at the time concluded
that the man killed was young Mahoney.
Shortly after, Mr.. o. N Briggs received
word that young Mahoney returned home
to Baltimore, and upon thorough investiga.
ton made last week by Rev. l.. l.. Lloyd, a
friend of the family, who was taking vaca
ton near Cumberland, the fact has been es-
tablished that it was young Briggs who lost
his life on the railroad there. Much sym
patty is manifested for the family of the
unfortunate youth. Undertaken w. r. Pun
phrey will go to Cumberland and remove
the remains to Gaithersburg for interment.
Why the young man left home, unless it
was to visit friends in Ohio, and how he
met his death will never be known, for he
was in an unconscious condition when dis
covered on the railroad track seventeen
miles west of Cumberland at night, with
one arm crushed TO the shoulder and his
head and face terribly cut He was imme-
diately removed TO a hospital at Cumbcr,
land and survived but day, every effort
being made to save his life.

The Pennant OF lso5-Tbe obampion.

The Pennant OF 1895 the champion
ship pennant of 1895 was on Tuesday night
formally presented to Manager Edward
Hanlon and the members of the Baltimore
team on the stage of Harris's Academy of
Music, in that city.
Col. VIM. III. Love, after the performance
was over, advanced to the front of the stage,
gathering up the pretty piece of bunting
placed 1t in Mr.. Hanlon's hands amid en-
thusiastic cheers.
Colonel Love made a short address of pre-
sentaton, referring to the fact that at the
close OF the season of 1894 it had been
claimed that the Orioles had gained first
place by "huke," aud added that by their
great work this year, after all other man.
agements had tried their best to strengthen
their teams, the Baltimores had proved that
they were winners because they were the
best players in the land.
The pennant was then unfurled and held
at length across the stage by all the men
who had helped to win it. The house re-
sounded with cheers when the words "Cham.
plons, 1885," appeared to view, and there
were loud cries for Manager Hanlon.
Mr.. Hanlon stepped over the flag to the
front of the stage, and in very happy
speech accepted the pennant for the people
of Baltimore. He assured the audience that
the pennant belonged to them To the play
ers, not TO him, he said, belonged the credit
of winning il. He continued 81 am not
going to tell you the methods by which we
won the championship in 1894 and 1895,
and how We expect to win it in 1896, be-
cause then you would know as much as
do and some of you might be applying for
my position. That would never do, as |
am by no means ready to leave Baltimore"
