between the home club and the Lafayette
club, of Baltimore. 1t resulted III favor Of
the Havre de Grace boys by score Of Is to 3.
The second game resulted in Ike manner,
the score being % to 9: The battery for the
winning club was composed of W. Gilbert, NJ
Foley, A. Gilbert aud W. Price.
The Bel Air base ball club went to Aber-
deem on Monday and crossed bats with the
strong team of that place, the game resulting
in victory for the Aberdeen team by score
of to 5, after most exciting contest. The
individual playing of the Bel Air boys was
fine at times and they deserve much credit
for putting up such a strong fight against
one of the best clubs in the State. The catch
ing of Miller and second base playing OF Her
man Rockford for Bel Air, two eX-Western
Maryland College players, was at times bril-
liant, as was also the pitching of Charles Rich
ardson and the batting of Birckhead Rouse and
Reckord The entire Aberdeen team as us
ual put up very strong game and tried in vain
to run up large score.

On June 10Th, Alfred Banks, colored, COM
mitted an assault upon white man, David
G. Elderkin, who was employed upon the
farm of Mr. Henry a. Osborn, near Darlington
station, on the P, w. & b. L. K. After the
assault Banks is reported as having robbed
Mr.. Elderkin Banks was committed to Jail
by Justice Baekey, of Havre de Grace, and
few days after as the matter seemed to be of
a somewhat trivial nature, Banks was released
on security.
Elderdn went to Baltimore, and in a short
time made application and was admitted to
the City Hospital, where he died 1t was sup
posed that his death was due to consumption,
as his lungs were very much diseased. He
told the hospital physicians of the assault,
stating that he had not been well since
Immediately upon receipt of the news of his
death, Judge Walters issued Il bench-warrant
for the arrest of Banks, and Deputy Sheriff
Forsythe arrested him at his home, near Oak
ington, on Monday night between ten and
eleven o'clock.
Coroner Buddenbohn, of Baltimore, held an
inquest on Wednesday at the Central Police
lNs
post-mortem physician, was the most import
ant. DIR. Kierle stated that the post-mortem
examination developed the fact that EIderllin
died OF consumption, and that there were no
marks of violence on the body when it came
| to his notice, and added that these may have
! disappeared during the period between the
| time the assault is alleged to have been CON-
| mitLed and when Elderkin was brought to the
| City Hospital, ON July ,. DIR. Kierc said
| that, although there were no marks Of VIC
| lence on the body, there was an abscess over
| the right lung. IL have known dormant eases
of consumption to rapidly develop through
excuses of any kind DIR. Kierle continued
land sometimes through injuries received
such as a blow over the wall of the stomach
pushing the ribs against the lungs and caus
ing Inflammation, which may later develop
into assesses, and then consumption. Thi
| might have been one of those cases.
Ia consequence of DR.. Kierle's testimony
the jury rendered the following verdict
THAT David G. Elderkin came to his death OF
July 3, at 1870 A. NJ, 1897, at the City Hospi
tai, from consumption and exhaustion, caused
by beating received at the hands of Alfret
Banks, colored."

Fireworks were exploded at night by differ

absence of public spirit and indeed every thing
except that Juvenile patriotism which CON
