George Holmes, of Chicago, were. lodged in
Jail here on Thursday afternoon about 5
O'Clock, by Constable Miller, of Taneytown
district Eldrish is about 18 years old and
Holmes about II. They profess to have been
cattlemen on cattle ships, but were travelling
through the country trading horses.
They travelled with horse and wagon, and
stopped on Thursday at mans house in Penn
sylvania and asked for something to eat. The
man refused, so they say, called them buns
and was about to attack Holmes. Eldrish
pulled out his revolver, and the man retreated
to his house.
Eldrish and Holmes then left and drove into
this state, into Taneytown district. The
Pennsylvania followed them and got Con-
stable Miller to arrest them. Miller got
Charles Harner to assist him, and they went
in pursuit of Eldrish and Holmes. Coming
up with them Miller drew his revolver and
ordered the youths TO hold up their hands.
Instead Eldrish drew his revolver, when Mil
Ter fred, the ball taking effect in Eldrish's
knee. The horse the youths were driving
started to run, and after going some distance
the young men jumped out and took to the
woods.
Miller and Harner followed and soon came
up with them, when another exchange of
shots took place, one ball grazing Harner's
hand.
The young men were then arrested and
brought to Jail. Eldridge's wound is very
severe one, and the ball is still in his knee.

remembered by some of the Stone Chapel

the event until after his return, when he found
his house filed with friends, ready TO wish
him peace. prosperity and health and that he
might live TO witness many recurring birth
days. One of the pleasant features OF the
evening was the presentation TO Mr.. Manahan
Of an NJ. T. Church hymnal, as an earnest
appreciation of his active services in the
choir. And that the hands of the junior pas
tor, Rev. Howard Davis. should be kept at u
parity with the warmth of his heart they also
presented 10 him II pair of fur driving gloves.
Both Of the gifts were presented in Il humor-
Gus and elegant manner by the senior pastor,
Rev. Mr.. Long. The remainder of the even
ing was passed in conversation on topics of
marriage and currency. The currency ques-
ton was ended briefly, because of the dispar-
ity in numbers of the two leading political
parties, it being nearly l6 to l. Other ques-
tons were fully discussed until late hour,
when all were invited to the diningroom, where
refreshments were served in abundance.

With Credit and Renown.
From the Baltimore Herald.

The campaign just ended was practically
unprecedented in the amount of popular en-
thpsiasm which it evolved. Never before,
not even during the Lincoln campaign of
1860, were the SURFACES of the country so
tremendously aroused. In justice, it should
be said that this unparalleled enthusiasm
could be largely traced TO the defeated candi-
date, Mr.. William J. Bryan. The magnetic
individuality of this man is freely acknowl-
edged by members of all parties. Probably
in no other instance in this country was any
other candidate so subjected TO the cathode
rays of public inspection, and certainly no
other man ever passed through such a public
examination with more credit or renown.
Therefore, though beaten, the American
people will, with pride, accord to Mr.. Bryan
the tribute due to citizen peculiarly distin-
guished by eminent endowments and worth.

Daily, reports say, is in the pink Of

his feet, and his quick hitting Is perhaps
much in his favor.
The preliminary bout will be between

16 TO WAS THE SCORE.
Infantry Defeat ed Eastern A. c. Under
New Basketball Rules.

An exhibition game Of basketball was
played last night in the Light Infantry
Armory between the home team and the
Eastern Athletic Club, and resulted in Il
victory for the soldier boys by the silyery
score of 16 to 1.
Notwithstanding the one -sidedness of the
score, it was a well-played game, and
stubbornly contested by both sides, al
though the losers were much handicapped
by an utter lack of practice.
The Infantry team showed its superiority
at every point and gave evidence of again
having at hand a number of excellent
players. The new rules were given their
first trial here and the result was a clean,
weIl-played game, without semblance of
roughness, and was thoroughly enjoyed by
Il large number of spectators, half of whom
We're ladies'.
Goals were made for Infantry by Shreve 8;
Jesse Schafhirt, 5; Burnett, g; McCabe, Lee
and Hough. 1 each The goal for the
Easterns was made from free throw.

plauded.
