ALMOST A TRAGEDY BE- TWEEN SORRELCS
 AND FOSTER.
ARE BROTHERS IN LAW.
The Trouble Grew out of the Trial of ". B. Graker The Jury
 In a "Rushs.

The trial of W. B. Craker, the in- suranee man, charged with yiolat- Ing the State insurance law and which came up in Justice Garrett's court this morning, came very near resulting in tragedy.
 MT Craker is beng defended by Lawyers H. R, [. Foster and W. G. Streett, and the State by Prosecut- ing Attorney W. B. Sorrells and As sistant Prosecuting A ttorney Wm. Harrison.
 During the trial MT. Foster was questioning a witness. He asked the witness q question, and as is his privilege, Prosecuting Attorney Sorrells objected. MT. Foster turn ing to the court said: "Gentlemen, l am not being treated fairly by the States attorney"
 Nil. Sorrells said very excitedly, HI. R. c. Foster, you can not say that of me; I will not permit it..
 Mir. Foster then jumped up and shaking his hand at Mr. Sorrells, said, q will say what I damn please"
 "You can run no bluff lover me; why g--d-you, I'll kill you, I'll put a bullet clear through your body, ," replied Mr. Sorrells, at the same time running his hand ipto his hip pocket after his gun and removing it to his front pants pocket.
 Several of the eye, witnesses say Mr. Sorrells did not draw his gun, but only put his hand in his pocket, while several state that he did change it from his rear to his front pocket.
 At this juncture the iurymen slid under tables, behind benches and several went out the door at a 2:4O gait.
 The belligerents were then quiet ed by the few remaining in the court room.
 After Constable Stewart had spent fully an hour in hunting up and bringing back the jurymen, Judge Garrett again called the court to order.
 Mir. W. c. Street. then informed the jury that if the case was to be decided by six-shooters he ard Mr. Foster wouldBlike to retire to theil office for their revoIvers.
 This brought about much laugh ter in the court room.
 Again the feud was renewed by MT. Foster telling Mir. Sorrells tha if he desired to walk out into tht street he would settle the matter with him. Mr.Sorrells agaln jumped from his seat and excitedly ex- claimed:
 "TIl settle it any time and an. wherel"
 But the gentlemen were agail quieted by their friends and tn court vas again called to order b Judge Garrett.
 Constable Stewart informed tn court that he was unable to find on of the jurymen, and the case wa continued until this afternoon a two o'clock.
 We regret very much to cbronlcl the above occurrence and are at th same time pleased to note the favor able manner in which it was ended
 Messrs. Sorrells and Fostel ar brothers-in-law, having marrae sisters, and we hope tbe matter wi be dropped as it's stands, aod tn regretable occurrence soon forgo ten.
 MT. Sorrells did not attend Il trial thls afternoon. the State b. ing represented by Mr. Harriso al,nn

WHEN TWILIGHT BRINGS YOU NEAR.

WHEN TWILIGHT BRINGS YOU NEAR.
When the sunset lights are fading in
the west.
And stars begin to CLEAN across the
sky,
The tender twilight brings me peace
and rest.
While, dear, to you my hearts best
longings fly.
The miles that lie between us seem as
naught;
Your form comes gliding softly to
my chair.
And looking into mine with eyes love-
fraught,
Your fingers wander idly DER my
hair;
Your loving touch a benediction seems
That calls my nobler, truer self to
life:
I long to realize my manhoods better
dreams
And be a worthier actor In the strife.
With purifying love your dark eyes
shine,
The last light fingers on your dusky
hair,
And then you gently draw your hand
from mine;
l glance to where you knelt-you are
not there.
And so at twilight-time my thoughts
OF you
Bridge over all the miles that inter-
vene,
And bring you to me ever good and
true,
With none to sever, naught to come
between.

Jockey Club attracted a goodly gathering

getting them off. The majority of patrons
were again in speculative vein, and they
started on velvet by playing old Zanone
TO win the first race.

faithful to an easy victory in the third

siOns With Its RiNnIx.

Georgetown Field will be the scene tn IS
afternoon of game between the "b.ue
and gray" and University of Pennsylvania,
and an unusual amount of Interest is being
shown in. the coming contest. The teams
are strong rivals, and their meetings al
ways bring out the very best work of the
players.
The game will give the admirers of
Georgetown an opportunity to judge as TO
the relative strength of their pets, and the
University of Virginia, their eompe itors
for the Southern College championship,
who on Monday defeated Pennsylvania by
the overwhelming score of is to 8. Vir-

same as in Mondays game, including the
great Huston at centre, Brown at third
and Hayden second. Either Flavell or

receiver.
Capt. Dan Mccarthy has given his men
lots of hard work during the past week,
and as all are in fine shape. they may be
expected to give a good account of them

The friends of the team believe that the
end of today's game will see the George

not decided last night whether Eddie
Bache or White will pitch. AS the team
