until his mother heard him screaming in
pain. Running to him she found the little
one lying beside the tracks, with his left
leg cut off below the knee. The child had
craWled up on the track and was run over
by locomotive, which was backing slowly
at the time. The little fellows leg was
amputated at the knee, and today he an
peared IN court with a tiny crutch to as

THE GILMORE CASE.
Sentence VIII BE Imposed Probably
Next Saturday.

Willie" Gilmore. who Was tried In the
Police Court last week and convicted of
keeping bawdy house. will not ask for a
new trial. Today was the last day in
which counsel could file formal motion.
but Lawyer johnson appeared In court and
announced that no motion would be filed.
The woman. he said. is confined to her
home by reason of sickness, and the doc
tors said she could not leave her home to-
day with any degree of safety. He
thought, he wever, she would be able to
appear by Saturday, and Judge Miller said
he would then impose sentence in the case
Counsel said that as soon as the case is
ended Willie" is going to the hospital to
have dangerous operation performed
The time of her going will, of course de-
pend upon the courts sentence. If she
is sent to jail her visit to the hospital will
be postponed.
1t was thought by persons about the
court today that the sentence will be a
fine, such as has been imposed In similar
cases where there was no complaint made
against the house before the raid was
made
The cases Of Lottie TiIlford and Grace
Ferguson will be disposed of Saturday. or
early next week. 1t is thought that owing
to the conviction of willie" Gilmore they
will not have their cases tried in court, but
will plead guilty.

Many We1l-knOwn Citizens Would
Like to Come to Congress.

Like to Come to Congress-.
Correspondence of The Evening Star.
LAUREL, March 25, 1896.
The fight for the republican nomination
for Congress in this district promises to be a
warm one. Every county in the district,
with the exception of Calvert and st.
Marys, has favorite son in the field
some counties have two. The candidates
put forward SO far are Repre- sentative Sid
ney E. Mudd of Charles, now speaker of
the Maryland house of delegates; Repre-
sentative Charles E. Coffin and John w.
Belt Of Prince Georges, Senator Day of
Howard, DR.. Washington G. Tuck, whose
candidacy was announced yesterday, and
Wilbur F.. Petherbridge of Anne Arundel.
1t is said that Mr.. Belt is running in this
county against Mr.. Coffin simply in the
interest of Speaker Mudd. In Anne Arun-
del Mr.. Petherbridge belongs to the fac
ton opposed to DIR. Tuck. Those who at
this time are considered the principals in
the race are Representative Coffin and
Speaker Mudd. In his fight for the nominal
ton, Speaker Mudd will, it Is claimed, have
the support Of Gov. Lowndes end Senator
elect Wellington, as well as a number of
friends In the Legislature. Representative
Collins friends on the ether hand, are ac-
tive in his interest and are confident that
he will receive denomination. They claim
that he has made good record during the
he is entitled to a denomination, and will
do all In their power to secure it for him.
No candidate has yet announced himself
for the democratic nomination for Con-
gress in this district. 1t is thought that
Mr.. William B. Clagett, ex-inspector of
the tobacco warehouse, and resident of
this county, will be put forward. The dele
gates from this county to the last con-
gressional convention which nominated Dr.
Wells of Annapolis for the short term and
State Senator Rogers Of Howard for the
long term, were instructed for Mr.. Clagett
The friends Of ex-State Senator Moss Of
Anne Arundel will probably urge him to
enter the race for the congressional nomi-
nation. The friends Of Mr.. Richard Eide
lin. in Charles, WILL 1t is believed, urge
him to enter the race also. The name Of
Naval Officer Barnes Compton, who rep
resented this district in Congress for near
ly ten years. is also being mentioned in
connection with the nomination. No demo-
crat has yet announced his candidacy and
1t Is believed democratic candidates will be
late appearing in the field.

Court again today because of domestic
difficulties, her husband being charged

husband has been causing lots of trouble
about the house again. He comes home
drunk and makes life miserable for me-"
How long has this been going on?" ask
ed the judge Forty years?'
Not forty years." she answered "but
it's thirty-eight.'

down." said the judge, you will be back
here in two hours to get him OUT
"Well. judge, you know it's hard for a
woman to see her husband go down..
Mike made his denial and renewed the
promises he has made SO often, and the
court released him on his personal bonds.
