EVANSVILLE.

Last night Bailiff Barr, with an armed
pc see, consisting of Fritz Damback. Chas.
E. Bowles and Pinkney Lee, proceeded
down the Alexandria branch of the Balti-
mere and Ohio railroad track to the tool
house, near the Eastern branch, and ar
rested two ugly-looking tramps who were
using the place as a lodging house. Rude
ly awaking them from their slumbers, the
bailiff Informed them that they were under
arrest, and they were marched back to
Hyattsville before a shotgun carried by
Bowles and a krotted club in the hands Of
De mback. One of the men made some re-
sistance on the way, and threatened to get
even with the bailiff. Both tramps were
placed in the temporary lookup for the
night. One gave his name as VIM. Burns,
and the other refused to give his name.
They will be tried by Justice Carr today,
and In all probability be sent to the house
Of correction.

attempt at suicide early this week. At the
time of the sad affair MIR. BrandenoIrg
was at work on his farm, and during his
absence from home Mrs. Brandenburg, 1t
Is said, went to the second story of the
house and jumped through the window.
She was discovered lying on the ground by
one Of her children, who gave the alarm
Surgical aid was summoned, and an ex-
animation showed that one of Mrs. Bran
denburg's Jaw bones was broken and that
she had also sustained, 1T is feared, severe
internal injuries. The lady is about fifty
five years of age, and has been in de-
spondent mood for a considerable time
past.
Mr.. Given Mullinia, who resides in the
same neighborhood as that of Mr.. Bran
denburg. at whose house the alleged at
tempt at suicide was made, has on his
farm wonderful curiosity in the way OF
a hog. The animal has only three legs,
two in front and a hind leg, which is near
ly in the center of the two quarters. The
animal now weighs eighty pounds. and is
just four months old, and is one of litter
of eight fine pigs. For several weeks after
Its birth it had much difficulty, its owner
says, in getting around, but now 1T seems
to experience but little trouble in walking,
and can even scamper at right good pace.
Mr.. Mullinia recently refused an cffer Of
$50 for the animal from a travelling show
man.
A fine. new barn on the farm of Mrs.
Annie Brown, living about ten miles from
Bethesda Park. was destroyed by fire few
nights ago. Mr.. George Custis, the tenant
of Mrs. Brown, lost large lot of hay.
harness and some farming implements.
The impression prevails in the neighbor-
hood that the fire was caused. by some
tramps. who were previously seen in the
vicinity, but 1t is not thought they resort
ed to incendiarism. The loss is partially
covered by insurance.
Farmers throughout the section, especial
ly In the neighborirg county of MontSom-
cry, Md, are complaining greatly of the
tramp nuisance, which, they say, has be-
come unbearable and calls for vigorous
measures of suppression. Those who are
afflicted with the nuisance seem to think
that If the laws on the subject were vigor-
ously executed the evil complained of would
soon become practically extinct, or at
least, reduced to the minimum. and they
are talking Of appointing a committee to
call on the proper authorities and ask that
this course be pursued.

Information has reached this section of
the sudden death by apoplexy Tuesday
night of Mr.. John H. Hoffman, former
resident Of this vicinity, but who for a
number of years has been a leading citizen
of Morgantown, W. Va, where for a long
time previous to his death he was cashier
of the Second National Bank. Mr.. Hoff-
man was in his seventy-sixth year, and
when the fatal stroke came was sitting on
the porch of his home talking with some
of the members of his family. Mr. Hoff-
man was a native of Montgomery county,
Md, and went from there to Baltimore
" hen quite young to engage in the mer-
camille business. Afterward he moved to
Frostburg, Md, and then to Preston
county, w. Va, where he was in business
until he became claim agent, accumulat-
ing a fortune, with which he founded the
Second National Bank of Morgantown.
He was regarded as one of the best bankers
in the state of West Virginia. During the
war he recruited and equipped company
of soldiers at his own expense. This was
put in command of his son, John d. Hoff-
man, who was killed in battle at Culpeper
Court House, Va, in 1863. -Four children
survive Mr.. Hoffman, ore of whom, Mr..
D. Clark Hoffman. will succeed his father
as cashier of the bank.

well known, that serious and perhaps
fatal accident occurred Thursday to

Is Antonio Burkhard, while experimenting

fell through a. trap door, distance OF
about eighteen feet, striking on his head
and fracturing his skull over the left eye.
He also received severe internal injuries.
The unfortunate man has had several
hemorrhages since the accident, and when
last heard from was In oomatose condi-
ton. Brother Marks attending physician
does not think he will recover, and the
last rites of the church have been admin
istered. The dying man is one of the most
prominent officials of the institution, and
is about fifty-five years of age.
Charles e. Kohoss, residing in Mont
gomery county, Nd, few miles from here,

boss, who had been arrested for taking
mail belonging to his wife from the post
office, who had entered divorce proceed
ings against him, went before a county
magistrate and Swore that he was without
means and could not pay his witnesses

means at the time, and renee have had
him arrested on the charge of perjury.
