Overheard TO Escape Bride.

OttfDOdIu sO fIoNHPt
The elopement last week of Melissa
Simpson, of AccOmac county, and John
Edward Galloway, of Elkton, Nd, had
an exciting sequel yesterday, when the
bride of two days saw her husband fall
overheard at the Chesapeake Railway
wharf. Baltimore, in his frantic efforts to
run away from her. The young man
was pulled out of the water, but escaped
in the excitement, leaving the girl on
the wharf wringing her hands and
weeping. She showed the police a
certificate TO the effect that she was
married September 3 to John Il. Gallo
way, at Elk!on, Md, by Rev. }. q
Martindale.
"Why did your husband desert you?
she was asked. .,,,
~ declare | don't know, ]" said Mrs.
Galloway, signing deeply. "He seemed
ali right. We went to his fathers house
at Havre de Grace after we were mar
ried, and this morning. we came here to
get the boat for Pocomoke City, where
he expected to get work, All Of sud
den I saw him dart through door.
He was going so fast that he ran into
the side of the door frame and lost his
balance. He fell into the water and
some men hauled him out"
The police told the weeping bride they
could not arrest her husband. The
steamboat officials offered her passage to
Pocomoke City. When the boat pulled
away from the dock Mrs. Galloway stood
upon the deck looking up South street,
in the direction taken by her husband
when last she saw him.

REFERRED TO COUNSEL.
Question Whether Commissioners May
Require Pigeons to Be Gagged.

Upon recommendation of Health Officer
woodward, the Commissioners have asked
the corporation counsel for an opinion as
to whether the Commissioners have the au-
thority to issue an order prohibiting own
ers of pigeons from permitting the birds to
fly at large. Commissioners West about
three weeks ago suggested that the health
officer report on the ACCESSIBILITY of adopt
ing a regulation requiring owners of pig
cons to keep the birds from flying about or
else have them removed to the suburbs.
He said that the keeping of pigeons within
the city limits has caused many complaints.
DR.. Woodward does not agree with Mr.:
West that pigeons are the cause of numer-
Gus complaints, and he seems to doubt
that the complaints against the birds are
SO frequent or of such nature as to war;
rant the adoption of such regulation. In
his report on the matter DIR. Woodward
says:
.'Pigeons that are allowed to fly at large
occasionally give rise to nuisances for

Nashville Whitewashed,

Although cold and dsagreeable a large crowd assembled at N est End to see Bir- mingham defeat Nashville in one of the prettiest contest ever played on local diamond.
 It was a pitchers battle throughout wherein both Piatt and Minnehan cover ed themselves with glory.
 Nashvile's first chance to taley came in the first inning but the locals were too much for them. The visitors had another chance in the latter part of the game but the necessary hit was not forthcom- ing.
 Things went well until the fourth in ming when Birmingham got busy. Mill lerick with fire in his eyes slamed the ball against left field fence for two bags Lynch went out on pop fly. Handy soon changed matters by placing a nice one over short, scoring Mllerick. At this the rooters went wild with joy. The rain ceased and in it's place stick and hats rained in wild confusion.
 Nothing was doing until the seventh in- ming when the Barons again got busy. Lynch first up, hit safe. stole second and went to third on Lowney's error. Jimmy o Brien hit safe to right scoring Lynch. Jimmy then stole second and duplicated the trick by taking third much to the

knocked a two base hit. Lynch then knocked a fly to Kennedy which made two men out. Hanley the next man up, hit safe scoring Mtllerfok
 4n the sixth inning Minnehan did some more good work With one man out Lowney hit safe and Fisher was given free pass to first Mlnnehan then balk- ed, advancing Lowney and Fisher. P1att walked which made the bases full. Bs~y- nedy then knocked fly to OBrieQ afd Wiseman knocked a grounder aV1 wan put out at first.

 WRITTEN BY SAM CLABAUGH

inning that, after "Tacky Tom Parrott had robbed Billy Smith of a nice hit, Pat Millerick walked up, received a word of warning from Matthews, and gave the ball stinging jab on the nose for two bags. Hanley then laced neat single over third scoring him.
 This ended the run getting until the seventh inning, when the Yuleans scored their second run on singles by Lynch and O'brien and a few stolen bases. This cinched the game for Birmingham, but close attention was paid until Minnehan struck out the last man at bat. It was a glorious game, and the men earned the free slaves they will get.

 Went to our pitcher
 To get his poor men run,
 When he got there
 He famed the air
 And so his poor men had none."

Listen to Mount SIaq.

Will you listen to the growing of old Mt Slag, who's crater has begun to spit forth records of past defeats in the opening games and of present victory.
 Nashville was first at the bat but did nothing except get the bases full and then let her men die where they stood.
 Birmingham was goose egged in one, two three order.
 Both sides were goose egged until the fourth inning when Mllerick hit safe for bags. Lynch knocked a fly and was out
