brother-in-law, Mr.. Frederick Helm
lein, North Market street. whilst re-
ceived with deep regret. was not unex-
pected. Mrs. Dugan was one of the
unfOrtunates in the accident on the
Frederick and MiddletOwn Electric
Ra ilroad and received injuries that in
themselves would not have produced
fatal results, but owing to the ravages
upon her system of an aggravated
form of pulmonary trouble and the
terrible shock combined, nothing that
medical skill and careful nursing could
do, stayed the hand of death.
The remains of the deceased were re-
moved to Washington Friday after
noon at ESQ for interment. Mrs. Du-
gan was fifty-seven years of age, and
leaves husband and married daugh-
ter, Mrs. z. Herald.
Short services, conducted by Rev.

held at the residence of Mr.. Frederick
Heinlein over the remains. The pail
bearers in Frederick were Messrs Geo.
w. and Edward Heinlein, VIM. A.
Harley, w. H. Whistler and VIM. E.
Filler, nephews of the deceased, and
Mr. James III. Harris. The funeral
took place from her home, zoos
Twelfth street, Washington, on Satur-
day.
On Friday morning, Coroner ThOs.
Turner, summoned jury of inquest
to view the remains and take testimony
as to the causes leading to her death.
The jury was composed of Blanchard
Phllpot, foreman;J J. j. Dill, James E..

Myer, Bion Firestone, q. w. b. Shri-
ner and f. T. Rhodes.
On Saturday morning at ten o clock
they assem- bled at the Court House and
examined number of witnesses, IN
Guiding the officers of the company,
the motorman, conductor and brake
man.
The purport of their testimony was
that the company did all in its power
to avert the disaster and that the
crowd pushed their way into the car
against the warning of the conductor.
The jury, after a short consultation,
rendered a verdict generating the
company from any blame in the
matter and stated that the death of
Mrs. Dugan was due to the shock she
had received.

A Huge Enterprise-A Really Big
Double Circus.

The coming of The Great John Rob-
inson and Franklin Bros Enormous
Combined Shows to Frederick, Oh
Wednesday, September 9th, will be
treat TO the citizens of this entire COM
munity like they never experienced be-
fore. The Robinson shows have de-
lighted American amusement lovers
for more than three generations, and
the Franklin Bros. are the founders Of
the new school of American shoWmen.
In combining and organizing their
shows for the season OF 1896 they have
spared no money to secure the best for
every department. A glance at the
list Of celebrities under their control
will convince the most skeptical that
they have been amply rewarded
for their lavish outlay, for they are the
best in the world i'll their lines. The
horses, many of them imported, are
models of horseflesh, while their stud
of trained horses do everything but
talk. They will appear at every per-
Torrance with their original trainer.
The Duryea motorcycle, the horseless
Carriage, is to be seen only with these
great shows. A royal troupe of Japa-
nese, imported expressly for this vast
enterprise, and the only double troupe
ever brought to this country, is an
other feature. They would be whole
show in the ordinary circus, but are
only single feature with the Robin
son aud Franklin shows. Acres of
tents are required to accommodate this
huge amusement, while one ticket adj
mits to all the combined shows.

CYCLE CENTURY RUN.
From Baltimore to Frederick-A
Large Number of Wheelmen to
Take Part,

The fourth annual century bicycle
run from Baltimore to Frederick, to be
held October 18th, isspurring the clubs
to train men to win the banner
which is to be the first prize for the
club which turns out the greatest per-
centage of riders who finish the 100
miles within the prescribed sixteen
hour limit.
AT least twenty riders must finish to
get the first prize and at least ten must
finish for the second.
The Centaurs, who got seventeen
riders through out of eighteen last
year, think they will win, but the
Clifton Club is said to have twenty
five men in training.
1t is now believed that from 900 to
800 will start, and each rider who fin
ishes within sixteen hours will get
handsome silver medal.
Mr.. Harry V. Casey, chief centurion
of the Century Club, has sent letters of
invitation to clubs in Washington,
Philadelphia, Wilmington. and to all
clubs in the State of Maryland, invit-
ing them to Join in the run. The pace
makers will be selected from the cap
tains aud presidents of the various
clubs participating.
The Frederick Bicycle Club has
among its members several crack wheel
men, who have recently made century
runs in "a hours and who feel war
ranted in the expectation that they
could make good showing in the
century run. Ii it can be arranged for
them to start and end the run in Fred
erick about twenty will participate.
The intention now, is for the club to
leave Frederick at an early hour, in
time to reach Baltimore and return
with the clubs from that city. In
that way they will avoid considerable
expense in railway fares aud lodging, as
they would have to go to Baltimore by
train and return when the run was
over.
The route will be by way of Eutaw
Place to Druid Hill Park. thrice around
the lake-the cyclers being checked
each time-thence To Fulton avenue,
to Edmondson avenue, to Ingleside ave-
nue., to the Frederick pike and straight
10 Frederick. The return will be the
same to Fulton avenue, thence to La
fayette avenue, to Eutaw and Madison
streets, the finish.
The Frederick wheelmen will prob
ably go direct to Baltimore and make
the trip around the lake to finish the
prescribed one hundred miles, as the
route over the road is about six miles
short of that distance. All are invited to
join the Frederick club.

A business man is not the most pa
tent. He cannot wait to hear any
long-drawn-out story of the cause of
his ailment. He doesn't care two!straws
about a fine spun theory of how he
should treat himself. He may be pre-
disposed to scrofula, or consumption.
"That," he will tell you, 'has nothing
to do with the case" He wants to be
well. If he can be cured write out

good than harm, for no Bryan voters
will vote and he will keep aside all
gold Democrats, who would otherwise
have voted for Mckinley.

He Didn't Do a Thing to Them.

A sleek stranger, with a new game that
you could not lose on several young fell
lows with more money than brains, and
a desire to "work" some of their friends,
were the dramatis PERSONA in one act
drama few days ago. The unpleasant
feature abous it was that it was too
''short" The stranger had loaded dice
and took the boys into his confidence.
They saw "good thing" at once and
made up pool and plan to entice some
acquaintance with love of the game
into the clutches of the "tiger." 1t
would have been all right if the "ani-
NAL" had done as he agreed, but the
wicked man Ibid them," to the tune
of over one hundred dollars He was
not tied to post, SO he decamped with
the money and now they are sorry that
they saw him. 1t don't pay to monkey
with "buzZ saw"
