SHOT BY A BURGLAR.
Thomas Taylor, of Denmark, Receives
Bad Wound.

Denmark, Sept. 2S.-About 2 a. M
burglars tried to enter the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. T. S. Taylor. They
tried the front door and cut the east
door screen. Mrs. Taylor heard the
burglars at work and awoke her hus-
band, and they both got up to investi-
gate. When they heard rap on the
east window blind, Mrs. Taylor asked
what was wanted. The burglar, with
an oath, demanded $50 and said if it
was not handed out quick he would
blow up the house. On being told that
there was no money in the house, the
burglar shot through the window and
the bullet lodged in Mr.. Taylor's left
arm. At this time Mrs. Taylor went
up the back stairs and called to the
neighbors, and the burglar disappear.
ed. DR.. Sloat was summoned, and
dressed the wound, and it is thought
there will be no serious effects.

FEAR ALL ARE CAPTURED.
Unknown Fate of Captain DevereauS
Shields and Fifty-one Men.

ShleldS ana fIty-one wen,
Washington, Sept. 2S.-McArthur ca
bles the war department that on Sep
TENDER IL, Captain Devereaux Shields
with fifty-one men, comprising Compa-
ny +, Twenty-ninth infantry left San
ia Cruz for Torrijos. Nothing has been
heard from them since, and it is sup
posed the entire party has been cap
tured with many killed and wounded.
The Twelfth Infantry was recruited
at Ft. Mcpherson, Ga. Capt. Shields
was lieutenant colonel of the Second
Mississippi during the Spanish war.
He was made captain in the Twenty
ninth infantry July 5. 1899. He is a
resident of Natchez, Miss, where his
wife now resides.
The scene of this latest reverse is
a small island lying due south of the
southern coast of Luzon, 800 miles
from Manila. Martinique is twenty
four miles in diameter. and was gar
risoned by two small attachments OF
United States troops. One of these
was at Boag, on the west coast of the
island, and the other at Santa Cruz,
the principal port on the north side.
Capt. Shields appears to have started
from Santa Cruz in gunboat for Tor
rijes, a small coast port, and it is in
ferred the boat as well as the body of
troops under the officer has been cap
tured, for the dispatch makes no ref
erence to her return

HIS LAST LONG TALK.
Bryan Leaves Sioux City on Final
Stamping Tour.

Bryan Leaves sioux City on Final
Stamping Tour.
Yankton, S. D., Sept. 28.-A special
train bearing w. j. Bryan on his long
tour over the country left Sioux City
over the st. Paul at 1880 o'clock this
morning. Short stops were made at
Elk Point and Vermillion, where the
presidential candidate delivered brief
speeches. The train reached Yank-
ton one-half hour in advance of the
schedule time, and, as a consequence,
there was no carriage at the depot to
meet Bryan, nor many people at that
place speaking to him. Bryan began
his speech with a review of the in
consistencies of the republican party
as viewed by him, covering the silver,
greenback and national bank trust
questions, and closed with an elabor-
alton on his views of the Philippine
question and situation in South Africa.
He declared that our war in the Phil
ippines is based upon the same princi.
pie as the British war upon the Beers,
and this was his reason why this
country could not express proper
sympathy for the South African peo
pie in their struggle for independ,
ence." Senator Pettigrew joined the
party here.

believes. find that the interest of the general
public is in their elimination from the list.
He explains that his company makes this
merely as a suggestion. as It knows the
Commissioners are actuated by a desire to
view the matter from every standpoint
Mr.. Dunlops communication has been laid
aside by the Commissioners for future con-
sheraton. and 1t is understood that while
they are almost daily in receipt of commu-
nications advocating a return to the near
side rule of stopping street cars. action will
not be taken in the matter before the return
to the city of Capt. Beach, the Engineer
Commissioner who has. in the assignment
Of the various departments. immediate su-
pervision of street railway matters. 1t Is
well known that Commissioner Ross favors
the near-side rule. and that it was upon the
suggestion of Capt. Beach that the far-side
regulation was adopted several months ago.
Just how Commissioner mcfarland stands
is not definitely known, although 1t is be-
ieved that. should return to the near-side
rule be recommended, he would vote for it.

THE STATE BOUNDARY.
Mason and Dfxon's Line to Be Re-
Surveyed.

AT the request of the governors of Mary
land and Pennsylvania the superintendent
of the coast and geodetic survey has con-
scented to relocate for the former the line
between these states as originally surveyed
by Mason and Dixon the two engineers
who were sent by the King Of England to
mark the dividing line of what at that time
We're the colonies of Maryland and Penn
sylvania- While the work is to be done I'M
der the supervision of governmental author
ty. 1t will be without expense to the United
States, the legislatures Of the states inter-
ested having appropriated the money neces-
sary to carry the project into effect
As arranged for. the work will be begun
In the course of about a month. The result
of some Investigations that have been made
Is that many of the old monuments which
We're brought from England to mark the
line have disappeared. and while It is be-
ieved some We're DESTROYED others II has
been ascertained. have for many years done
duty as steps by which to enter houses or
mills In western Maryland and southern
nnsylvania.
The records show that when the original
line was surveyed by Mason and Dixon
the monuments were placed in position for
about 40 miles of the distance when the
work of setting the stones was nterfered
with by unfriendly Indians. 1t Is expected
that many of the monuments that have not
been destroyed will be recovered and used
for marking the line where it crosses the
mountains.
As already stated the work of surveying
Will be placed in the hands of the superin-
tendent of the United States coast survey,
and he will designate one of his subordi-
mates to represent him in the matter For
a considerable distance there is nothing to
Indicate the separation of the two states,
, ana In consequence numerous property
complications have arisen and law suits
have been instituted.
The Mason and Dixon line runs from the
Delaware boundary of Maryland to the cor
ner where Maryland West Virginia and
pennsylvania join. The line was run by the
men above mentioned between the wears
l'62 and 1i6S. When the line was originally
laid stone monuments were placed at inter-
tervals Of five miles as far as the Blue
hlose mountains. Beyond this the line was
simply marked by heaps of stones.

HOYT MAKES AN APPEAL.
The Playwright is Committed by the
Court to m Asylum.

ne fluywrlSnt Is SOmHitteu ny the
Court to nm Asylum.
Charles H. Royt, the wel-known play
wright. was yesterday at Hartford. Conn.
formally committed to the Retreat for the
Insane in that city by Judge Freeman OF
the probate court.
The hearing was held at II o'clock and
the patient told a pathetic story in a CO.
herent manner. He was somewhat ner-
vous and kept his eyes moving from one
point to another. Hoyt was accompanied
by DIR. Stevens and two attendants from
the retreat. He began by asking Judge
Freeman what warrant there was for de-
tanning him.
Hoyt said that he had not engaged coun-
sell but understood legal procedure as he
had given two years to the study of law
under the direction of the chief justice of
New Hampshire. He explained that he
did not continue the study. as the chief
my stories and l have got yours, 1 guess
you had better get through. Hoyt
laughed when he related the incident. He
said he had been lured to Hartford and
did not suspect that he was to be placed
in an insane asylum Hoyt knew few
persons In Hartford, but no more than
in other places he has visited He said
he could not understand the course of his
partner. Mr.. Mckee, in this matter. Mr..
Mckee is a good business man. while I
am not much on business, he said. My
1orte Is writing farceS, ana II am good
for anything at all il is for that pur-
pose" s -,
Hoyt said he had placed himself in
charge Of DR.. Dana Of New York. whom
country Judge freeman said it was on
Dr. Dana's certificate that Mr.. Hoyt had
been detained. Heyt booked at the Judge
and said he did not want to do anything
to detract from the reputation of Dr. Dana
but insisted that he Should not be placed
In the retreat agaInstihis will. In closing
he said: I u,
rs there anything to warrant my fur
ther detention?" He repeated the words
to other persons in the room and became
nervous. Continuing. he said: Your honor
| have had a great deah of trouble. 1 have
lost my wife and, child and l have had
other troubles. Do not add to them by de-
tanning me in a retreat." Tears trickled
down his cheeks as he9spoke. He let the
court room with DR.. Stearns. Judge Free
man committed Hoyt until he Is cured or
is properly discharged.
