TROUBLE IN THE COUNTY.
Private Pancoast Dies from His
Wounds-Great Excitement
More Trouble Arprehended.

Private Harry G. Pancoast, Of the
Fourth Battery Field Artillery, died
yesterday afternoon. He had been
suffering terrible agony for two days
from the effect of three gunshot wounds
inflicted Tuesday night near Rosslyn by
some person or persons unknown during
a row which had occurred at Geary
saloon. He was insensible when picked
up, and only regained consciousness at
the Fort Myer hospital after restoratives
had been administered. He had re-
ceived three pistol bullets in his body,
one penetrating his back just below the
neck, and the other two entering just
below the shoulder blades. Is is sup
posed that the two bullets which entered
near the shoulder blades perforated the
lungs, and caused death. Hedied at the
hospital at Fort Myer, where he was
carried shortly after the assault. The
soldiers assailant is yet unknown. Tony
Simmons, of Rosslyn, where che shoot
ing took place, was arrested and lodged
in the Alexandria county Jail by Sheriff
Palmer yesterday, and is held for the
murder of the young man. Mr.. Samuel
G. Brent, of this city, has been retained
as counsel forSimmons. The authorities
state that they have thoroughly investi-
gated the affair. Several other arrests
are expected to follow shortly. Judge
Love. of the County Court, and War De-
partment officials are making close in
vestigations of the killing of Pancoast,
the wrecking of Geary's saloon and the
troubles which led up to these results.
A mounted patrol guarded the town OF
Rosslyn last night to prevent repetition
of the raid of Wednesday night when

Corporation Court.

A special grand jury was called today
by Judge Norton to take up the cases on
hand in the Corporation Court. Mr.
Henry Strauss was made foreman. True
bills were found against George Cupid,
colored, for burglary; Dennis Carter,
colored, for robbery; Samuel Mills,
colored, for forgery; William Davis,
colored, for attempted rape; William
Bright and Edward Jones, both white,
for breaking into the house OF MIR. sam
uel wingfeld and attempted robbery.
During the case silver dollar coined IN
1898 was shown in court, which was
found on the person of Bright at the
time of his arrest. The coin was ident-
fled by Mr.. Wingfeid as his property,
which he had kept as curiosity, and its
presence on the person of Bright made
the indictment easy.

in respect to the memory of the
late Leonard Marbury were read before
the court by Capt. X. Kemper and were
ordered to be spread upon the minutes of
the court. The estate Of Antonio Cald-

CHICAGO, Oct 2-An important prin-

Judges Jenkins. Grosscup. Baker and Bum.

handed down an opinion to the effect that
the Western Union Telegraph Company
has right of property in the news which

cease when the news is published the

down this new principle the Court OF APP
peals affirms the two decisions OF the
lower court and forever enjoins the Ma
tional Telegraph News Company. the ILL.,
nois Commission Company and other de-
PENDANTS from using the quotations in
question.
The court says: THE business OF appel
lee is that of carrier OF information. The
gist of its service TO the patron Is that by
such carriage the patron acquires knowl-
edge Of the matter communicated earlier
than those not thus served. The ticker
with its printed tape, is an implement or

the patron or the patrons patron may
utilize to the end intended, bat may not
appropriate to some end not intsn,le1, ts-
