catcher gets but half that amount
Monday he will begin his operations
and will carry off every dog that is
not provided with a license tag.
Many persons were of the opinion that
he would not begin operation unil the
first OF May, when dog Licenses are
issued. but as the law with respect to
tags has been in force for some time,
this will not be taken as an excuse.
The dog catcher has been ordered to
take up every dog for which no license
has been secured and which does not
have it fastened TO his anatomy in
some conspicuous point. Those who
secure licenses now will have them
made out to May / and on that date
can secure new ones for the following
year.

the First NJ. E. Church, will leave
here on Tuesday next to attend the
conference, and the Rev. L +. Peters,
pastor Of Maryland Avenue NJ. E.
Church, will leave ON Wednesday. 1t
is fully expected that DR.. Miller will
be returned TO his church, but it is
quite. certain that the Rev. Peters will
not be returned here, having. filled out
his usual time, and the time of service
as pastor of one church having been
extended. Mr.. Peters will preach his
farewell sermon about the second Sun
day in April. Many regrets are felt
at his having to leave Annapolis.

he could not tell them what preacher

occurrence, that although it as all

STRUCK THE MAST.
Lightning Did Much Damage to
Wireless Station at The
Naval Academy.

During the height of the. electrical
storms last night. when the bright
flashes followed in rapid succession,
the wireless telegraph mast at the
Naval Academy was struck by bolt
of fire. 1t was particularly bright
and large, and faded from sight the
many electric lights about the
grounds.
The crash that followed was of a
most terrifying nature. For fully a
minute it seemed the light played
around the top of the mast and for
lack of contact with the ground from
the portion it had struck. the current
was dissipated in the air. Luckily
no damage was done. The men CON
nected with the station. fearing that
damage would be done the instruments,
had disconnected them from the wires
leading TO the pole and when the
shock came they were free from dan
ger.
One small wire at the top of the pole
was burned OFT and will have TO be re-
placed, but further than that no dam
age was done. Had the foresight of
the men in charge not faused the in
struments to be detached, tine resulting
damage would have been considerable
both IN value and time.

A Summer Souall

About s. 30 O'Clock last night reg
ular summer thunder storm struck An
napolis. 1t thundered and vivid flashes
of tightening accompanied the storEl
at brief intervals. The rain poured
in torrents and later a hail storm de-
veloped Some of the hail stones were
as large as chinquapins. The wind
blew tiercely shutters we're blown on
and signs blown down throughout the
town, the streets were flooded in
some places from curb TO curb, and
walking was wading. AT the time of
the storm the services of the Young
Mems Christian Association were in
progress at Maryland Avenue NJ. K.
Church, and the electric lights all
went out. The church was IN total
darkness until lamps were brought in.
But everybody was cool and the
preacher continued his sermon. The
electrical storm affected the switch
board at the electric light plant and
caused the trouble.

NO ARREST Is YET MADE.
STILL INVESTIGATING THE
BIAS MURDER.
Bar of Iron With Which The Crime
Was Committed Found
Near The BODY.

OfncerS are hard at work investipat.
ing the murder of George Bias the
colored man, details of whose murder
appeared exclusively in the Capital
yesterday Thus far the case has not
developed sufficient evidence to war
rant an arrest at once, It is thought
however, that in very short time an
arrest viii be made.
While the county officials were not
notified OF the suspicious features in
connection with the case at a time
when that information would have
done the most good, they will at once
move in the matter. 1t is expected that
States Attorney Nicholas Ii. Green
will order an inquest and post. .mortem
in the case in an effort TO establish
beyond doubt the fact that Bias was
murdered, before time has effaced all
evidence.
The iron war with which Bias was
murdered will play an important part
in the prosecution of the man who
committed the crime when he is ar
rested. When Bias body was reached
by the men who were summoned there
by the fire, it was found that the iron
bar. which had probably been used
III wrecking the stove and also in
striking Bias, had been laid across his
chest.
IL looked as though il had fallen
from the hands of the murderer and
had Bias made the slightest move
after it had been placed there il would
surely have fallen to the floor. It is
thought that Bias must have been
struck while he slept. Whoever en-
tered the place did So by means OF n
window.
Those who were attracted to the fire
before il had made such great head
way found that one of the windows
had been broken in by some heavy OBJ.
ject- This was the room i'm which
Bias generally slept An effort had
been made, apparently, to efface all
evidence of the crime and it was
thought by the perpetFator that the
fire would entirely destroy the body
and its incriminatIng evidence
