Bayard Wilson.

BY narrowest margin murder was pre-
vented last night. There was dance and
cakewalk at the hall on 2Sth and o streets,
and Bayard Wilson, colored. aged twenty
six, and James Perry, with several other
companions, were in attendance. Shortly
before midnight there was an alteration
between Wilson and Perry, growing out of
something which had occurred at the dance.
The matter ended by Wilson pulling out a
revolver and, it is said. shooting almost
point blank at Perry. Fortunately for the
latter the bullet passed through the top of
his hat. The shooting took place at 10Th
and streets, and after firing Wilson ran
away He was arrested about $50 O'Clock
this morning by Policeman McGill Grove and
locked up on a charge of assault with in
tent to kill
George Rfdout, another colored youth,
who was with Wilson, was arrested few
hours later by Policeman Fennelly, and

FASTENING THE WORK.
Order Respecting the Rockville Pike
Funeral Of w. A. Davis.
Special CorrespondeDce of The Evening Star


ROCKVILLE, Md. April 1S 1899.
The county commissioners have notified
the contractors fer the building of the new
pike from here to Bethesda that from now
on work must be vigorously pushed and the
road completed as rapidly as possible. The
commissioners. accompanied by Engineer
Maddox, recently made an inspection of the
work already done. and found it entirely
satisfactory. September l is the date
named in the contract for the completion of
the road, and, notwithstanding the bad
weather of the past winter, the contractors
say everything will be in shape by that
time. In a few days an additional force of
men will be employed. and the work of
crushing and spreading the stone al the
Rockville end of the road will be begun.
The ripping UP OF the old stone is about
completed and about four miles of grading
nearly finished. This leaves three miles of
grading yet to be done besides the crushing
and spreading of stone for the entire dis
tance. When completed the new road will
be one of the best leading out of Washing
ton, and it Is expected to prove a popular
driveway. 1t will also doubtless become a
favorite route for bicyclists.
The funeral services over the remains of
William A. Davis, who died Sunday morn
ing at his home in this town, were held this
morning in St. Mary's Catholic Church, and
were very largely attended. Rev. Joseph
A. Cunnane, pastor of the church. officiated.

Capt. James Anderson. Thomas Griffith,
Frank Kilgour, Cooke d. Luckett and 'Da-
vid Griffith, all of whom belong to Ridgeley

The interment was In the cemetery ad-
joining st. Mary's Chuch.

the local fans.
Padden clinched his reputation as
pinch hitter. his single being of I'VE

Lauder has improved greatly over last
season. He goes for the balls now with
confidence that is bound to bring success.
The weak batting of the Senators was
certainly not in evidence yesterday. On the
contrary, 1t was timely and hard. 1t has
become the proper thing these days to
charge a team with being weak hitters in
stead of crediting the pitcher with beirg
hitters. yet Weyhing's work made them
look like 80 CENTS
