The prospective game of base ball be-
tween Washington College and the Alumni
teams is causing much interest between
the base ball admirers of this town and
county. The old players who are en-
pected to take part and their positions are
about as follows: Thomas Trenchard class
'90,c l.. A. Davis, '9S,p.; A. l.. Colds
borough, 80, 2b, George Brice, 81, 1b.
Virgil Ward, '9S, 3D.; Norman Cameron,

1t is understood through his attorney
that Mr.. Reverdy Johnson, of Baltimore,
who for a number of years past has owned
the fine estate known as "HoweIl's Point,
a. the mouth Of Sassafras river and on the
Chesapeake bay, has recently received
iatterng offers for that fine farm from
city capitalists, who contemplate adding
largely to the present beauties of Betterton.
1t is thought that boulevard will be
made from Betterton down the river and
bay shores, making one of the most mag,
niiicent driveways in Maryland.
The green pea louise is playing havoc
with the Kent county pea crop. Many
pea fields have been almost totally de-
stroyed. Many farmers have tried brush
ing the vines, as suggested by Prof. Willis
Johnson, but the GOODNESS of the weather
renders this method less effective, as a hot
sun is needed to bake the insects after
they are swept from the vines The loss
to growers in Kent county will be heavy.
Charles s. Smith the new treasurer for
Kent county, was sworn into office this
morning by Clerk of the Court James T.

The Eminent Kidney
and Bladder Specialist.

There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it--heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result Of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to adj
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.
Dr.. Kimer's SwanlpsRoot the new dis
covory is the true specific for kidney, bladder
and urinary troubles. lthas cured thousands
Of apparently hopeless cases, after all other
efforts have failed. At druggists in fifty-cent
and dollar sizes. A sample bottle sent free
by mall also book telling about Swamp
Root and its wonderful cures. Address

much. The -. o. Is. K. merits that

The line OF march was from Browns

parade was formed. to South street,
thence to Fourth. to Commercial. and
over Fourth street bridge. On the east
side the procession continued 10 and
over East Fourth street and to the

MUST GIVE FIGURES.
Telegraph Companies Placed in
Anamolous Position by Decision
Of the Courts.
Injunction Compelling Them to Fur.
nish Chicago Board of Trade
Quotations Issued.
Recent Decision Practically Forbids
Them Access to Quotations
The Situation.

Chicago. Aug. S.-Judge j. w. Henry,
of Kansas City yesterday granted a
permanent injunction to the cliristie-
Street Commission Company and TO the
Grain Brokerage Company, both of
Kansas City, restraining the Western
& Mon and the Postal Telegraph Cons
pany from refusing 10 furnish them
With grain quotations from the chicago
Board of Trade. AS Judge Tu;ey re-
Gently decided that the first concern
named is an Illegal ms titution. and fur
tllerrnore, as the telegraph companies
several days ago ceased 70 handle the
board of trade figures the ruling fur
nisiles decided surprise to tbs teie-8
graph people. How they can comply
With the decision Of Judge Henry and
furnish the quotations Without N fact
stealing them is the cruN of the ques-
tion.
In his decision Judge Henry said the
quotations OF the Chicago board of
trade are Impressed with a pubic in
terest and that telegraph companies
handling such quotations must deliver
them TO commission companies which
desire them. The court holds that it
makes no difference whether th% quo
tations are sent by parties operating
leased wires or are contained in private
mess ages.
The decision further states that the
quotations cannot be converted 70 pri-s
vate use 20 the exclusion of the public.
| As am excuse for granting the decision
the court declared that the quotations
had become interviewer in the grain
and stock trade of the entire western
ard NORTHWESTERN portion Of the
United States, and that the knowledge
leof them mad become 50 essential 10
IGeaie,s in agriculturai products that,
ideprived of them, they would b. COM
/ peeled TO 80 out of business. AS a re-
| suit. in the opinion of the court, the
Chicago board OF trat!s. would be con-
vertea into one of the most gigantic
monopolies IN the world.
The telegraph communications ieh
brought the news OF the decision from
! Kansas City TO the heads of thu tele-
graph companies here carried With II a
| positive shock. There seems 10 be a
loophole in the decision which may
serve TO allow the telegraph companies
10 escape when tile mater Is taken
into another court.
This is wlaere the court speaks OF
companies handling SUCH quotations.

i longer handling them il is thought By

Ottawa Beach, Mich, Aug. S-Johnnie
Dew, an aeronaut of Grand Rapids,
met a terrible fate While giving an ex-
hibition here. His balloon had reached
height of nearly half a mile when
the performer began his descent. His
parachute did not open for a few Sec
onds, and when it did spread he had
gained such momentum that the sud-
den resistance gave him aviolen. jerk.
He slipped from the trapeze. and, hav-5
ing no life line, was dashedato death in
the lake below. There was but one foot
of water where Dew landed, and every
bone in his body was broken by the
fall. Dew was but 19 years old. This
