Mr.. Samuel A. Smith, who resides at

train coming north. but failed to look for
the one coming south
He evidently became bewildered, because
he never attempted to move off the track,
although he said he could plainly hear the
rumbling of the approaching train.
A teamSter who was approaching the
crossing called to Smith to move off the
track, but his cry was not heard. &
Smith was picked up in a field near the
track, where he had been thrown when the
train struck him, and brought to Frederick.
Mr.. Josiah B. Zimmerman, one of the
wea'thiest and most prominent farmers of

Economists have lately turned their at

of broader, better relations between en-

presents in this volume the results of his

Cen Carrington's studies of Washington
are known to be inspired by wise ad-
m1rat1on for the first President and q
1ud1c1ai capacity to see the man in his true
aspect. The first edition of this work found
an eager demand. The second is intended
to carry the study of Washington into
farther corners of the republic, where the
temperament of the revolutionary general
is perhaps not fully appreciated. In the
light of very recent events, a survey of this
great military genius Is instructive.

1t is natural reaction for the French
mind to revert from a contemplation of
its sufferings in 1870 to an enjoyment of
the recollection of 1859, when victory, at
the expense of Austria, gave a marked i'm
petus to the French military spirit This
book is a study of the circumstances which
led to that event. which is thought by
many historians, Saint-Amand among
them, to have prepared the way for the
disasters of eleven years later.

FIRED TWICE TO STOP
A FLEEING MAN
OFFICER SCoTT's CHASE AFTER
A COLORED SOLDIER.
An Exciting Pursuit Near the Pre-
sidio That Nearly Had
Fatal Ending.

A member of the Twenty-fourth Infan-
try, stationed at the Preside. is thank
full that his body is not perforated with
a bullet from the revolver of officer Scott
of the North End station On Tuesday
night the policeman fired twice at the SOL
dier, who was making frantic efforts to
avoid arrest, and this he succeeded in
doing by climbing over the Preside fence
with greater force than ceremony, the
flight being hastened by the uncomfort-
able hum of the leaden missile aimed at
him.
That the man was not killed is due to
his good fortune and not to the lack of
shooting ability Of officer Scott, who is
looked upon as one of the best shots on
the force. Shortly before the exciting
incident woman rushed up to the police
man and appealed for protection. She
breathlessly informed him that colored
man had insulted her while she was
walking along the street and when she
demonstrated with him he picked up a
brick and struck her In the face inf1ict-
ing a severe wound. Her statement was
attested by the blood oOZing out of a
deep cash on her cheek, and the officer.
quickly learning which way her assail-
ant went. hurried in pursuit. The un-
known soldier, seeing the policeman.
broke into run, and Scott started after
him. After repeatedly calling to him to
surrender, Scott pulled out his revolver
and shot in the air to frighten his man,
but the report only had a tendency to in
suer were close to the Presido gate but
this only redoubled Scott's desire to cap
ture his man and he fired again with a
deliberate intention of winging him. But
for the darkness he might have sue

nell over the fence into the arms of the
sentry, who was aroused by the shooting;
Scott. finding himself defeated, hurried

the above facts. The woman who was as
saulted by the soldier visited headquar-
ters last night and gave her version of the
affair to the clerk in charge. She eX-
mentioned in the affair, as she disliked
notoriety. A formal charge will be
lodged with the military authorities to-
day with view of having the soldier
punished for his action. 1t Is understood
