A BATTLE ROYAL.
POLICE SQUAD WHIPS A COMPANY
OF SOLDIERS.
Muskets and Revolvers, Clubs and Stones
Used, but With no Deadly Effect.
1t Happened This Morning.

Yesterday was soldiers pay day
at Fort Sam Houston, and as usual
many of the boys soon began
carousing, drinking and gam
bling.
When the soldiers tank up they
are nasty for the police to handle,
and it is their delight to catch
some lonely policeman up near the
post and pour Beer over him and
otherwise have what they call fun
with him. They did this last pay
day but this morning when Officers
Wasting and Foster, on their patrol
on Hood street, discovered first
sergeant and a lot OF soldiers In
Jacob Schurch's saloon, gaming,
they did not pour beer on them.
The officers knew what they would
have to deal with and
quietly asked Captain Roberts
to bring up a detail Of men
in the patrol wagon. Eight Of the
best fellows on the force were soon
on hand and the raid was made.
The soldiers tried to scatter and
then began to fight their way out,
but it was of no avail. Capt. Rob-
erts dropped one of them with his
fist, and Officer Kieru m nailed
fierce old sergeant to the cross just
as he was shieing beer glass at
another officer. The officers finally
loaded the wagon with Albert
Highland, Louis Conrady and
Fred. Hauch, charged with
gaming, and Jacob Schurck,
charged with keeping disorderly
bar-room. John Ray, Tom Con-
naly, John Cornell and First Ser
geant Morgan or Wycliff, were
charged with being disorderly.
The patrol wagon was about to
start off for the station when an
other gang of soldiers were seen to
make off for their quarters on a
double quick. Some other soldiers
told the officers that the soldiers
were going for their muskets, and
to hurry and get away. The Off
GERS thought this was hardly
possible as the guns of the sold
iers are always locked in the ar.
mory at night, but as the wagon
was moving of 'tolley OF stones
from the returning rescue party OF
soldiers came flying about the
wagon and one struck one OF the
patrol wagon horses under one
eye. Then the soldiers began fir
ing their guns and the policemen
returned the fire. A regular fusil-
ade ensued, every officer using his
revolver, even the patrol wagon
driver drawing and with one hand
holding the reins and the other
working his six shooter. A rum
ming fight was made until the sold
iers scattered and hunted shelter
and the officers left the field vic
torious, with their prisoners.
The cases of the disorderly SOL
diers were disposed Of by the re-
corder today by fines of S. In each
case, but the gaming cases were
continued until tomorrow.
The army authorities will next
take up these cases and the sen.
tence OF the court martial will be
not nearly so lenient as that of the
civil court.
No one was hurt with the flying
bullets, though several soldiers
showed up with broken heads and
bruised faces today. tr..

jumped to His Death.

A colored man named Lee May,
from Charlestown, was instantly killed
at Shenandoah Junction at an early
hour last Monday morning. In com
panv with several companions he had
spent part of the day at Kearneys-
Vile, where it is the habit Of a crowd
of negroes to gather together to play
cards. They jumped on a freight
train at Kearneysville, intending to
get off at the junction, but the train
was going so fast they were afraid to
get off there and were carried on to
Brunswick. There they boarded a
west-bound train to return to the
Junction. May Jumped from the train,
but held on to the car too long and
was thrown under the wheels. The
train passed over him, mutilating his
body very badly and causing his IN
slant death. His body was laid to
one side and Magistrate D. S. Rentch
of this place, was sent for. Aceompa-
MED by Constable Dunn he went to
Shenandoah Junction, and after learn

Last Saturday night the store of
Mr.. John Williams at Kearneysville
was broken into by three colOred men
and robbed of a considerable quantity
of goods. The thieves sought TO make
their escape by jumping on a passing
freight train, and two of them got
away by this means. The third man.
however, made miss-step and FELL
and had one of his feet crushed of.
He was found some time afterward IN
a helpless condition, and was removed
to the county alms-house. 1t Is said
that part of the stolen goods was
found in his possession, and he will be

Hon. Samuel V. Woods, of Barbour
county, and Judge D. B. Lucas, Of
this county, addressed the voters Of
Shepherdstown in the town hall on
Tuesday night. Hon. a. S. cambridge
presided. The address of Mr.. Woods
was a clear, logical, convincing argu-
ment in favor of free silver, and with
out any claptrap the speaker showed
the advantage of the cause he repre-
sented. There has seldom been a
stronger speech made in this place,
and Mr.. Woods made a most favorable
impression upon our people. Judge
Lucas made one of his characteristical-
ly brilliant speeches, and as he has
long been a champion OF the cause of
free silver he was right at home on
this subject. Both speakers were
heartily applauded.

Ranauet TO the Advisory Boards.

The directors OF the dagerstoWn IalF
gave the annual banquet to the mem
bers of the various advisory boards
last Saturday at the Hotel Hamilton,
and, as usual, it was most enjoyable
affair in every respect. The visitors
were most agreeably entertained dur
ing the forenoon, trolley ride over
the town and an inspection Of the fair
grounds being included in the pro-
gramme. At O'Clock dinner was an
nounced, and the guests were invited
to the dining-room, where Mr. Webb,
the efficient manager of the Hamilton,
had provided feast that has never
been excelled on a similar occasion.
The menu was rich and varied and the
service was all that could be desired.
When the cigars and coffee were
served, Secretary P. A. Wilmer called
the guests to attention, and IN his
capacity as POSTMASTER introduced the
speakers for the various counties. Mr..
Harry Yingling and DR. Goldsborough
responded for Adams county, Pa, the
former delivering eulogy on the late
Edward Mcpherson, a member Of the
board. Mr.. B. T. Grouse responded
for Carroll county, and Mr.. n. S. D.
Pendleton spoke briefly for Morgan
county. H. L. Snyder was called upon
to speak for Jefferson county, and in
the course Of his remarks suggested
that the people would some time like
to see an agricultural fair conducted
on a new principle, namely, without
the swarms of gamblers who are
licensed to fleece the patrons Of the
exhibition, and free from the indecent
sideshows so corrupting to morality.
This suggestion was vigorously Op-
posed by Mr.. J. w. Dodd, Berkeley
county's orator, who took it upon HIM
self to champion the cause of the gam
blers and the proprietors of lewd
shows. Mr.. Dodd expressed the opln-
ION that morals were not to be con-
sidered if they stood in the way Of
money-making by the fair, and his
theory carried out would indicate his
belief that the more gamblers and IA
kris the better the fair. Messrs. B.
L. Maurer, W. c. Kreps and Henry
Guimond spoke for Franklin county.
The Franklin county members opposed
the suggestions of Mr.. Snyder also,
and expressed themselves as in accord
with Mr.. Dodd. The high moral %
standard set up by the Pennsylvanians,
as evidenced by their speeches, was
referred to by Senator Norman B.
Scott, who made an excellent speech
in which he referred to the success OF
the fair and the enterprise and ability
of its managers. Secretary Herman
of the trolley company, made speech
complimentary to the people of Ha-
gerstown and expressing great conf
dence in the growth of the city. The
banquet closed with thanks to Host
Webb, the fair association and the rail
way company. Jefferson county elect
