Tuesday afternoon, after McElroy was
injured, he went to the shed and made him
self as comfortable as he could under the
circumstances. Wednesday morning Mrs
Mcdonald found him suffering intense pain
and she sent word to the police, and Nc
Elroy was removed to the hospital.
Upon his arrival there the patient told
the doctors his name was Riley, although
he had always been known here as Nc
Elroy. Some time ago he told Mrs Nc
Donald that a Baltimore policeman was his
sisters husband. Inspector Boardman has
notified the Baltimore police of this state
ment in order that his relatives there, If he
had any, may be found.
Soon after the police learned of the af-
fair warrant for Farrngton's arrest was
issued and served and he was RELEASED on
real estate security for his appearance in
the Police Court. After his arrest today he
was seen by a Star reporter. He said he
had been drinking a little Tuesday, as had
a number of men in the saloon. Mr.. Hag-
erty. who conducted the business prior to
Tuesday, was there and he elected a man
from the place. McElroy. as he knew the
victim of the trouble. he said, became dis
agreeable, and he Darlington put him out
of the saloon. When they reached the
door, he said. McElroy wanted to tussIe
Harrington said he did not remember hay
ing kicked him, and witnesses to the affair
had told him he did not use his foot.
Farrington's Statement.
1t was not until Wednesday morning.
Harrington said, that he knew the man
had been injured, and then he called at
the hospital to see him. McElroy, he says
told him he did not want to prosecute him
and yesterday he sent a paper to the hos
pital for him to sign. The doct ors, he said
would not allow the patient to be disturbed
and, therefore. the paper was not signed
AT the hospital it is stated that the pa
tent was in serious condition when he
reached there and he grew steadily worse
until he died this morning. Deputy Coro-
ner GlaZebrook performed an autopsy this
morning and found that the mans intes-
tines had been ruptured. Policeman Davis
continued the investigation today and sum
moned a number of witnesses to appear at
the inquest tomorrow morning.

The Old Country Band.

| mean the band of olden time, when you
and / were boys;
When music, to be sweet to us. must drown
all other noise.
When martial airs entranced our ears, and
every feeling fred:
When uniforms with golden braid were all
our hearts desired.
Oh, how those fellows marched about ON
every holiday
The "Square" was filled with music sweet,
the streets with bright array.
The town folks stood upon their steps, the
country folks, discreet,
With horses prancing to the tunes, drove up
some other street
The boys Well. you can easy guess we
shall not try TO hide it,
Whenever that old band was out, we fellows
marched beside il.
We kept the step the bandmcn did, and kept
II quite as we'll
And always held our corner up when it was
time to yell
Perhaps they made some discords perhaps
the side horns blew
About three times as strong and loud as
they by right should do;
Perhaps the cymbals didn't clang exactly
with the bass;
Perhaps the "B.nats' missed some notes
and footed out of place.
But what cared we when We were boys p
to our unculturcd breast
"The Girl Left Behind Me" was as good
as Sousa's best.
Our little backs would straghten up, our
thoughts would soar away
The acme Of our earthly bli7s-to play q
horn som, day.
I've heard iull many bsnd. since ,heu. aud

I've heard them play their loudest airs and
softly, sadly. sweet;
But never has my being thrilled with rap.

From the Oakland Republican.
rather terrifying scene was enacted on
board the B. & o. accommodation train No.
u Saturday afternoon in whi.h smallpox
patient figured with thrilling prominence,
his presence inspiring the passengers, with
degree of dread and alarm, bordering on
panic. When the train stopped at Rodamer,
station not far distant from Terra Alta, n
colored man climbed on board and SLOWLY
wended his way through the "smoker" in
search of seat Ills face was covered
with loalhsome eruption, swollen and
distorted, while his hands BETRAYED the
presence Of a similar disorder. AZ once the
attention Of the passengers in the smoker
was directed to ;he man. and one gentleman,
more venturesome than his fellows, inquired
what might be the nature of the colored
mans disorder, all the while preserving a
respectful distance.
lie was Informed by the sufferer that he
had come in contact with poison oak vine,
and was EN- route TO the Western MARYLAND
Hospital in Cumberland The presumption
gaining ground that the suspect had not re-
turned a truthful diagnosis of his case, the
passengers divining the true nature of the
disease, hastily proceeded to give the fellow
wide berth by vanishing through to
more congenial quarters. Within less time
than 1t takes to record the fact, the afflicted
son of Ham was alone, the monarch of all
he surveyed. The conductor, for once, pur
sued well defined conclusion to let the

limits. DR. Spear advised the railroad au.

patient prisoner therein until the car could
