in the afternoon the gentlemen of the party
organized two base ball teams, and play
ed very interesting game, resulting in a
score of il to II. The homeward trip was

Burglars Have Removed Out Into the
Suburbs.
The Georgetown burglars have gone to
the outlying residences to work upon. Yes
terday morning between and o'clock
they began operations again at the home
Of Mr.. Jerome Lightfoot, on Terrace
Heights, at the corner Of the Ridge and
New Cut roads. An entrance was sought
through the basement window. slat In
the shutter was cut as with sharp knife
OF razor, and then the blinds forced open.
When this much had been accomplished
Mr.. Lightfoot thinks he must have been
awakened. AS 1t was time for the hired
man to be aroused, he called for him to go
to market. and this in all probability
frightened the fellow or fellows off.
Poisoning Animals.
Animal prisoners are at work here. Sew
eral valuable dogs have met death sudden
ly with all symptoms attending poisoning
and day before yesterday valuable horse
belonging to Mr.. John Beckwith that had
been grazing on the property Of Mr.. Chas.
H. Trummell, died in the same manner.
Almost at the same time mare belonging
to Mrs. Rosie Railing, a relative of Mr..
Trummell, residing In Frederick, died
through poison, and few hours later her
three-year-old colt expired Mrs. Railing
was visiting her sick aunt at Mr.. Trum-
mell's home at the time. Mr.. Beckwith
has also lost a fine cat of valuable breed
within the last few days through poison.
Mr.. TrummeIl in reporting the poisonings
remarked that "the souls of the eminent
thugs of India could live in the society of
these American horse and cat prisoners
in ecstacy."
Police Arrests.
There were nineteen arrests here yester
day for miscellaneous offenses, including
murder, assault and battery, violating po-
lice regulations, drunkenness, larceny,
threats and carrying concealed weapons.
