More of the Knox-Gat Trouble.-Mr.
John H. Tames well known business man
of Hamilton, Hartford road, and president of
the Volunteer Fire Company of that place, has
entered a disclaimer to the statements made by
Messrs. Ramming and Mitchell as published
in the advertising columns of THE UNION last
week. He says:
"Inasmuch as two members of the Hamil-
ton Volunteer Fire Company have presumed
to sign the name of said company to certain
sworn statements, which appeared in THE
UNION last week, and not being authorized to
make the statement or to use the name of the
company, feel it my duty to make some an
swer for the benefit of those who might con.
slider 1t an act of the company and not the act
of two members who have never been ap-
pointed to serve together on any committee in
connection with the bazaar or contest"
Officer Royal l.. Phelps, of the police force,
one of the persons referred to by Messrs. Ram
ming and Mitchell in their statement, was
much incensed at what he considers the in
situations against him. He said:
The statement that l was made regular
officer after the vote was counted is untrue and
the proof is in the record at the County Com
missoners' Office in Towson, which shows
that l was made regular officer May 1, 1902
When / went before the Board asking for the
appointment as special officer in May, 1901
the delegation that went in my behalf was
headed by Major Thomas B. Catch. The in
situation is made that the promotion came
because of alleged dirty work done by me-
The whole statement is falsehood.
II am one of the charter members in the
company and have the interest of the COM
pany at heart as much so as Messrs. Ramming
and Mitchell. In addition Justice Neumayer
is also member of the company, and it is the
height of folly for anyone for an instant to
think that in making his decision against the
company he was actuated by spite or because
he was indebted to Mr. Knox. l have only
the kindest feeling for Mr.. Catch and have no
fight against him."

Fork, 18th DESTRUCTION Wednesday morn
ing, January Dist, Mr.. John p. Mccormick
was united in marriage to Miss Catharine
Koran, by Rev. Jos. B. Hauck, at st. Johns
Catholic Church, Long Green Valley. Both
the bride and groom are of this neighborhood.
The bride was handsomely attired and wore a
wreath of orange blossoms. Miss Mary Koran,
sister of the bride, was bridesmaid, and Mr..
Peter l. Mccormick, brother of the groom,
was best man. Messrs. VIM. Koran and
Joseph Corrigan were the ushers. After the
ceremony reception was rendered the newly
welded couple at the home of the brides par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Patrick Koran.
Somewhat of stir was created by the sup
position that some of the colored laborers on
the Nd. & Pa R. R., above Baldwin Station,
had contracted smallpox. 1t is not probable
that they have the disease, yet as preventive
a quarantine has been put upon some of the
school children who attended the public school
near Baldwin because some members of their
family worked on the railroad where these
colored men worked A genuine case Ga very
bad one, too,l of smallpox, exists about mile
from Upper Falls, son of Mr.. Adam Schnare
having contracted it while away from home.
1t is reported that Mr.. H. ]. Lilly and Mr..
Clarence Baldwin, both farming near Baldwin,
will have sale of their personal property in the
near future.
A good many changes are taking place
among the farm hands in this neighborhood
and Long Green Valley.
A good joke on farmer near Fork has just
leaked out. Last summer he was suffering
with pain in his back. His wife wished to go
away on visit, but before going she induced
her husband to submit to her putting porous
plaster on the affected part. During the day,
it being warm, while at work, suddenly he
felt water trickling down his back. Upon in
vestigating he found his wife, by mistake, of
course, had put fly blister on. 1t did its work
faithfully however, having raised very large
blister which broke while he was working.
His wife nursed his back for some time with
cold cream, &c.
his home here and is stocking up his store
with line of new goods. The property had
been rented for some time and Mr.. Benson and
his family had been living in Baltimore. r.

The Design Calls for an Expenditure
of $43,676, but Not More Than
$4,000 VIII Be Used.
DIMENSIONS OF THE BUILDING
COMMITTEE WILL SHORTLY ADvER-
TISE FOR BIDS.
Sums That VIII BE Voted by the
Commission for Exhibits of In
diana Products.

The st. Louis worlds fair commission
of Indiana met yesterday at the State
house and transacted considerable business.
The most important action was the selec-
ton of plans for the Indiana building at
st. Louis. The building committee. after a
meeting In the afternoon, at which the
different plans were inspected, approved the
design submitted by Wing & Mahurin, of
Fort Wayne, and the commission decided
to adopt their plans. In all twelve or
fifteen sets of plans were submitted by diff
ferent Indiana firms. The commission was
especially pleased with the plans of Archi-
tect Brubaker and Rubush & Co., of this
city.
The estimated cost Of the building de-
signed by Wing & Mahurin is s43,676 but
the commission has decided that the build
ing must be built for $4,000, and it will be
necessary to cut down extras" so that
the cost of the entire structure can come
within the amount named. The question of
changing the Indiana site at st. Louis will
be left to the building committee, but it is
not likely that it will be changed.
DOME OF ART GLASS.

of staff the material used in the CO.
lumbar exposition buildings, and will be
painted white. 1t will have two floors and
will have a dome of art glass. No ex-
hbits are to be shown in the building
and ii will be used as a sort OF resting
place or headquarters for Indiana people
who go to the fair.

of the French renaissance. similar to the
other State buildings in the vicinity. The
interior will be IS by 60 feet. There will
be a porch at each end, and a terrace run
ming all round. The outside dimensions of
the building will be 135 by 80 feet The en-
trance will be in the center of the north

supporting the dome, which is twenty feet
in diameter. From the landing all parts
of the building can be seen and views of
the grounds can be obtained through the
windows. The landing is one of the tri-
umphs of the architects, Wing & Ma

A MOB PURSUED THE NEGRO

The Police Think He Was the One that
Fired the Shot-Burke Died at
the Hospital.

The entire community around the Kingan
high pitch of excitement yesterday after
Gertrude Worth. the thirteen-year-old
daughter of Mrs. Eva Worth. GLIB West
Maryland street. by Eugene Burke, a
negro. who had been seen loafing around
the vicinity for several days.
AS a result Burke was later shot and
killed by man who is thought to be
James Anderson an employe of the King
an Packing Company. The negro, it is
said, forced his attentions on the child as
she was gathering kfndling wood around
the platform of the packing plant and
grabbed her by the arm, at the same tfmc
grossly insulting her. The girl cried out
from terror and her screams attracted the
attention Of several men and boys who
were in the neighborhood. A chase for the
negro was begun at once. Up one street,
down another and over the l., d. & w.
railroad bridge went the fleeing negro with
the angry mob bowling close on his heels.
After crossing the bridge some of the
pursuers turned and went back. but 1t is
said that Anderson continued the chase
for several blocks and on seeing that it
drew his revolver from his pocket and
fired At the same time the colored man
had turned and. picking up stone from
the roadside, hurled it at Anderson.
SHOT WAS FATAL.
The shot from the revolver struck him in
the abdomen and he fell in his tracks
bleeding profusely, but was soon on his
feet and continued his flight, rushing
blindly over the embanlSment at the old
circus grounds where he was later found
in a dying condition. DR.. Sheek, of the
City Dispensary. was called and took the
wounded man to the City Hospital in the
Dispensary ambulance, where he died an
hour later.
Bicyclemen Morgan and Simon went at
once to the home of Anderson, 1880 West
Market street, but found that he had been
there and gone several minutes before. De-
tectives Asch and Manning were assigned
to the case and search was instituted for
the man who did the shooting. The Worth
girl was able to give but little information
as to who fired the fatal shot, but enough
evidence was gathered to make it almost
certain that Anderson is the man. He was
traced through Haughville and it is
thought he has left the city. The police
think there will be no difficulty in finding
him, however. as he was dressed in SOL
dier's coat and cap and has several pecu-
liarities which will locate him wherever
he goes.
