the game, which makes their third defeat
since they begun the Maine circuit. The
visitors had scored three runs when they
went TO bat Ia the fourth inning. In this
inning they got seven men around the

not win. During the rest OF the game
they were shut out and were unable to do
anything with Williams delivery. The
home team played an uphill game aud
during the whole contest kept up steady

Shea and Williams found Tocd's curves

All southern Maryland Is deeply inter-
ested in the Farrall poisoning case now on
trial at La Plata. The recently published
statement Of Professor Penniman that
quinine injected into frog would cause
its death seems to have excited as much
interest as anything that has yet occurred
In the trial, and the dissent to the Doctors
dictum is widespread. Today George Neal,
oolored, caught three frogs, lively speci.
mems of the species bullfrog, and brought
them to Spalding's drug store Leonard

effects of injections of quinine and strych-
MIA upon them. Onesjxteenth Of q grain
of quinia was injected into the leg of one
frog, and seven hours aftsrward his hop
ping qualities were but little impaired.
At IL o'clock p. IN. one-sixteenth of @
grain Of strychnia was injected into Soc
ond frog. At 1919 there were spasmodic
contractions of tho muscles, and at 1915
death ensued. One-half grain of quinine

HE WANTS TO DIE QUICK.
woSG LOCK. TnE CHINESE GRIMM
Al. rRiEs no KiLL HIMSELF.
Make. Repeated Attemgts to End His
Life Closely watched ut the
Police station.

Wong Lock, the Chinese MUIR
derer, would like to kill himself.
Since Sunday night he has been
desperate. An officer is kept in
his cell day and night, and is never
allowed TO keep eyes off of him.
Late Tuesday Wong Lock quickly
dashed his head against the sharp
side of his bed and sustained wide
cash on the face. Several times
he has fallen on his head in an eff
fort to break his neck. These starts
have been made so quickly that
the officers could not stop the man.
Tuesday night it became neces-
sary to use harsh measures with
the prisoner. Handouts were put
on him and chained to a chair upon
which he was compelled to sit. He
was not allowed near his bed all
night, for, when close to it, he
would invariably plunge violently
against the wood work, head first.
Wong Lock was arraigned before
Judge Perry at 10 o'clock this
morning. He was extremely
nervous and acted queerly. 1t is
believed he is feigning insanity.
He employed no lawyer and, pri-
marily, conducted his own case.
Witnesses for the prosecution and
evidence were OIL hand
The charge was read by the pro
secution. 1t was substantially
"felonious and willtul murder. y
The prisoner waived examination
and was committed to the Circuit
Court for trial. He was sent over
to the reef this afternoon and will
be closely confined. His offense is
non-bailable.
