The Brambleton baseball team, an
aggregation OF semi Professionals and
amateurs. contested honors with the
All Americans team at Columbia Park
yesterday afternoon, but were unable
to break the winning streak Of the All
Americans team.
This game was especlaIty commenda-
bic OH account of its being devoid of
any unnecessary kicking that has here
tofore characterized the games.
Putnam was in the box for the Wis
itors. but proved an easy victim for the
All Americans, that team making Ii
hits off his delivery.
Kaufman, that clever young twirler
of this city. kept up the excellent work
he has been doing, and fully demon
strated the fact that he Is as skillful
in the manipulation of the sphere as
any who has essayed to toss at Co
slumbia Park this season, the visitors
only making three little hits of his
very clever and puzzling delivery, while
he struck out II men. Below is the
score by innings:
All Americans ......5 0 4 o 1 0 0 1 Oil
Drambleton 49,. 100 0 0 0 / o o o. !
Batteries-All Americans, Kaufman
and Armstrong; Brambleton, Putnam

MARTIN o,coNNoR DEAD

He Expired at ST. NIarys College. Bel
mont, N. c., Yesterday Morning.
Just about one short week ago Mar
tin, the 16-year-old son OF Mrs. p.
O'Connor, left the city to enter as n
student at st. Mary's College, Belmont,
N. c., full of hope and bright aspira-
lions, and fond anticipations for the
future were INDUCED in by him and
those who loved him so dearly.
How sad, therefore, Is the duty to
have to chronicle the fact, that at 4:3O
o'clock yesterday morning at the col
lege, lie departed this life, from inju-
ries received from fall, which no one
seems able to explain or throw the least
light upon.
This paper several days ago published
the fact of the accident, saying that
the young gentleman was found lying
in n bath room ut the college with his
right arm broken and his left one dislo-
Gated or otherwise injured, and gave
the injuries while walking III his
sleep.
Since then his mother has been kept
thoroughly informed rs to his condi-
ton, and the kilograms being during
the last day or two of such an alarming
nature, Mrs. O'Connor, accompanied by
her son John F., left on the Seaboard
tram tuesday night Tor the bedside OF
the dearly beloved son and brother, and
every one hoped for the best until yes
to-day morning, when n telegram was
received announcing the young mans
death.
Preparations were at once made to
bring the remains home for intermcnt,
and the body will arrive here this
morning on the Seaboard train, which
reaches this city about 1880 O'Clock.
Captain Pat O'Connor, one of this
citv's most excellent citizens, passed
away only few short weeks ago, and
this heavy blow following so closely.
rrostrates the whole Family with the
deepest grief, which is shared in by
-hnrdreds Of -pcnplc Of .his--e.4it. y -srAfae
knew of the circumstances mentioned.
Martin O'Connor was a fine young
man, having hosts of friends and COM
panions, who will ever remember the
many sterling qualities of the deceased.

A VERY NARROW ESCAPE.

Yesterday afternoon, about o'clock.
Mr.. Pasquillie, of the Naval Post band.
had most wonderful escape from Sc
rious injury.
The circumstances are these: A car
of the Portsmouth Street Railway Com
pany WAS going South, and had just
reached the curve at the corner OF
Fourth and Wythe streets when Mr..
Pasquiilie turned the corner on his BIZ
cycle, riding North The gentleman
saw the danger he was in and attempt
ed to prevent a collision; but, his wheel
striking the rail, he was thrown to the
ground in the middle of the track, with
the car advancing on him.
The motorman, Monroe Sykes, did all
that man could do To stop his car, which
was within 10 feet OF Mr.. Pasquiliie,
putting on brake and reversing the
current, and just as the car struck the
bicycle Mr. Pasauiilie rolled out OF the
track, almost from under the very
wheels of the car. His bicycle was
wrecked, but he cares nothing for that,
50 fortunate was he in escaping injury.

Primaries and Convention.

Democratic primaries viii be held 10 Car
roll today. Let moderation characterize
their conduct.
Do not try to build up yourself by pulling
down a rival.
Do not be too sanguine Of success, then you
will not think the country has gone to the
demnition bow-wows should you fail to secure
a nomination on Monday.
you are nominated of course you will fail
to see the fine Italian hand Of some alleged
manipulation. If you are not selected do not
imagine some bossism has been exercised.
Some aspirants must necessarily fail as
there are more candidates than offices, but do
not work yourself into the belief that now IS
your time or never.
There is not going to be any dictation ex-
ercised or attempted at Monday convention.
Those usually styled readers are not candi-
dates themselves and have no candidates to
urge upon the convention. They are inter-
ested only in seeing a strong ticket nominated,
and any advice they give viii be from party
and not personal interest. Personal friend
ships should not weigh, and the delegates
should act for the good of the party alone.
Further, every candidate has right to have
his name placed before the convention, and
it is the duty of district delegates to place in
nomination every one from their districts who
desires it.
A strong ticket will be the outcome OF
Mondays convention if the delegates will
keep the party's good uppermost in their ac-
tioa and not be influenced by personal friend
ships

Death OF Judge Roberts.

In the death of Hon. Chas. B. Roberts, a
picture and sketch of whom is published in
this issue, Carroll loses one of her most il
lustrious citizens As a member Of the House
of Representatives, he took high position,
and was one of the most popular members of
the Forty-fourth and Forty fifth Congresses;
as Attorney General Of Maryland, he took a
foremost place among the lawyers of the state,
and as Associate and Chief Judge Of the Fifth
Judicial Circuit, be exhibited Judicial ability
of a high order. In all public positions Judge
Roberts was faithful, conservative and care
full, and left behind him record which is an
honored one to his state and priceless hert-
age to his family In private life he was ge-
NAL, generous and sympathetic, and very
popular His charity was gnostentatious, and
his generosity was only bounded by his abili-
ty. He was magnetic and his geniality brought
around him a strong personal following. In
his death the Court of Appeals loses one of
its ablest and most painstaking members;
Carroll one of its most honored and useful
citizens, and his family loving husband and
an indulgent father.
