his arrest. The case has attracted wide
spread interest in this county, and the
court room was crowded all during the trial
with interested hearers.
Probably the mos interesting feature of
the case was the appearance on the wit
ness stand of John r. Mccarthy, an ac-
knowledged yeggman. and, according TO his
own testimony, a former pal of Shorty. He
swore that he had been well acquainted
with Shorty for several years. and that the
two had participated in roDberieS at Church
HILL Leicester and Laurel. Shortly after
the attempt on the bank at Sandy Spring,
the witness stated he met Shorty in Nor
folk Va, and there the accused confided to
him that he was one of the four men that
had attempted to loot the Sandy Spring
bank. The other men. he told Mccarthy.

Gently convicted at Charleston. S. c, for
safe cracking, in which trial Mccarthy was
a witness; Irish Jimmy. otherwise known as
Jimmy Dunn, and Charles Cross, all yegg-
men.
1t was shown by several witnesses that
Shorty and a companion had been seen. in
the neighborhood of Sandy Spring several
days before the attempt on the bank, al
though some of the witnesses would not
swear positively that he was the man.
The accused man took the stand in his
own defense. He denied that he had ever
known Mccarthy, swore that he had never
been at Sandy Spring, and declared that he
had never worn stiff hat. In the teSti-
mony for the state the witnesses contra
dicted themselves in some particulars One
swore that Shorty wore felt hat and an
other that he wore derby: another swore
that his companion was accomplishment
and another that he was light.
Mr.. Edward c. Peter, who defended
Shorty, and who put up a vigorous fight,
declared to the jury in his argument that it
had not been shown that Shorty was guilty
of larceny He held that whoever took the
tools had not intended TO steal them and
intended TO leave them where they would be
found and returned TO their owner

ROCKVILLE. Md, April Is, 1893,
James Bailey alias Con Shorty, was tried
and acquitted in the circuit court here this
afternoon upon an indictment charging him
with grand larceny. 1t was alleged that he
stole from the blacksmith shop of James S
Marlowe, at Ashton, this county, last May
a number of tools. He was also indicted for
being implicated in the attempt to burglar
ize the bank of the Savings Institution at
Sandy Spring. this county, the same night
Ashton and Sandy Spring are about three
quarters of a mile apart. The other case
will not be tried, as there was an under
standing that the grand larceny case, which
is in the eyes of the law the graver of the
two, would settle both. Shorty, however,
was not discharged but was remanded to
Jail, ostensibly to await trial on the other
indictment, but in reality, it is stated, to
enable the authorities elsewhere who want
Shorty to prepare the papers necessary for

creases the national honor by aiding
to shackle falsity, whether that
falsity be by direct robbery or by
filching the good name of neigh
Dor. Therefore DR.. Pierce makes
public the ingredients of that Won
derful tonic and blood medicine
called DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t is misnomer to call
it a patent medicine, for it is not, as
DR.. Pierce makes known the ingre-
dents as here given. In calling
your attention to this preparation
we are not asking you to make trial
of new discovery. 1t is a happy
combination of the medicinal vir-
tues extracted from some of our
well-known plants. During the last
forty years this medicine has cured
thousands of people OF those stom-
ach disorders which cause untold
ills shown in the poisoned blood, in
exhaustion of nervous force and gen

standard remedy of thousands of
homes in the United States.
THE OPEN SECRET.
Every one should know that DR..

Queens Root (Stillingia Sylvatica)
Stone Root
(Collinsonia Canadensis).
Cherrybark (Prunus Virginiana).
Bloodroot (Saguinaria Canadensis)
Mandrake

Combining these ingredients in
just the right proportion to make an
harmonious and efficient remedy,
without the use of alcohol or other
dangerous agents. Only one of the
efficient medical ingredients is

smoked his pipe by the light of the
blazing fire, while the daughter
combed out her long golden hair; the
little boy was already slumbering in
one of the big beds, and his mother
was attending to the cow, while the
hostess hustled about her household
duties.
Presently the latest conner asked
permission to retire, but he was bid
den to wait moment and he would
be given something better than the
barn. That was a house where wo-
mans word was law, so he sat meekly
between the fire and the golden-haired
girl and watched his buxom hostess.
Quickly she placed two benches side
by side beneath the cuckoo clock,
fetched two huge armfuls of hay from
the barn and spread them thereon,
went out again and brought some
more with which to stuff pillow case,

AMBITION AS A TONIC.
.. Is Well, Occasionally, to Depart
from the Beaten Track.


The world is full of "beaten-track'
people who, exist exactly after the
fashion of millions of men and women
who have preceded them. New ideas,
new methods, new undertakings are
alien to them, and TO move them out
OF the beaten track would require lit
tie less than a moral or material cy-
clone. Their gait is plodding, and
their motto, Let well enough alone. "
These people have their uses, no
doubt in the general scheme of things
mundane. They are important factors
in making life severe discipline.
They hold in check the enthusiastic,
progressive and original people who
would otherwise run this poor old
world too swiftly.
Granted their usefulness, it might
be possible, ard would surely be ad-
vantageous, for a smaller number OF
beaten-track people to serve the pur-
poses for which they exist; and some
power evoked to transform the ma
jority of them into progressive and
enthusiastic citizens of the world.
Their numbers have far outgrown
the needs, while the ranks of the ad-
vance guard of humanity have grown
thin.
Our attitude toward the sluggish
and satisfied people ought to be one
of pity rather than scorn, perhaps, for
they are generally the product of I'M
toward circumstances. Physical or
mental or moral incapacity is respon-
sible for their apathy, and has left
them only energy or will sufficient for
the beaten track. They at least are
far above the degenerate and crimi-
nal classes in humanity's scale, for
these are too feeble in intellect and
will to keep even in the beaten track,
not to mention the power to blaze a
higher and finer way through the
world.
