Still Another Shooting,

still Another Shooting.
 Another shooting scrape which Is said to have occurred last night was re- ported on the streets this morning. The shooting took place in the western DOT ton of the city and the wound inflicted is not considered dangerous. Mystery also surrounds it, and no facts could be obtained except that a negro man got mad with his wife and shot her
 The story on the streets was to the effect that the negro man went home late last night and did not find his wife there. He waited for her and when she came in the two had a quarrel and the man got his pistol and shot at the woman, the ball hitting her in the hip and infiicting a painful. but not dangerous wound. No arrests were made in the case today.

A boy baby. with two horns over two
inches long on it's forehead. eyes one inch

UNION NOT PROBABLE.
First and Assembly's Presbyterian
Churches to Remain Apart.


Not much in it, is the statement OF
Rev. Donald Mcleod. pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church, as to the question of
the amalgamation of that church with the
Assembly's Church 1t is likely, according
to Dr. Mcleod, that DR.. George P. Wilson.
pastor Of the Assembly's Church, will ac-
cept the passionate of the Warner Memorial
Church at Kensington, Md. The rumor
that the offer has been made to him is con-
firmed, and 1t Is understood the only rea-
son that DR.. Wilson has not accepted the
call is because his resignation has not
been officially presented to his present con-
gregation
Dr. Wilson will retire from the Assem-
oly's Church September IA. The assertion
is made that this resignation will be ac-
companied with such a statement as will
put its non-acceptance out of the question
He will, then, it Is believed, accept the call
from Kensington.
One of the Oldest members of the Assem-
bly's congregation has stated that had the
resignation of DIR. Wilson come some time
ago there would have been an amalgama-
ton with the First Church, but now there
Is a feeling that to continue is necessary
under some other pastor. Since the resig-
nation of DR.. Wilson the session of the
church has been inviting various ministers
to preach, pending the call of another
clergyman. Yesterday the pulpit was filled
by the Rev. James B. Clayton, who preach
ed on 1.-The Gospel of the Grace of God"
DR.. Mcleod says concerning the amalga-
nation of the churches:
II do not think the congregation of the
First Church would care to unite with the
Assembly's Church for several good reas-
ons. In the first place. the latter church is
not centrally located as is ours, and is
not so large. We would not care to leave
this church and go to the Assembly's, but
If the people of that church wish to unite
with us, we shall be very glad to have them
do SO. We are always glad to receive new
members"
The offer from the Illinois College to Dr.
Mcleod to become president of that insti-
tuition has been declined. DR.. Mcleod hav-
Ing decided to remain with his present con-
gregation.

After Baltimore Car Lines.

A dispatch from Baltimore last night
says: The recent activity in the securities
Of the United States Railway Company,
controlling all the street railway lines in
this city and its vicinity. is now believed
to be the result of movement by the Blair
Ryan syndicate and other New York inter-
ests to get the lines. The Blar-Ryan syndi-
cate already dominates the Consolidated
Gas, Electric Light and Power Company,
as well the Consolidated Gas Company
1t is significant that the common stock
Of the United railways should advance as
1t did last Thursday and Friday, and that
Alexander Brown, head of the local syndt-
cate, should have been hurriedly called
home from Europe. 1t Is the impression
that Mr.. Brown is not antagonistic to the
new interests that seek control of the
street railway situation, and that he will
be a large factor in the consolidati ton of
the public utilities of Baltimore should it
come about.

LAUREL AND VICINITY,
Geoge Bartlett Commits Suicide-Gen-
eral and Personal Items


Special Correspondence of The Star.
LAUREL, Md. September 4, 1905.
George Bartlett, a citizen of Laurel, COM
mitted suicide here late Saturday night by
letting a fast freight train strike him at
the Baltimore and Ohio station here. Mr.
Bartlett always bore a good reputation
among those who knew him. He was about
sixty years Of age. Dependency because
Of the fear that his children would have to
look out for him the remainder of his
days, ill-health and having no income, are
said to have induced him to take his Life.
Mr. Bartlett was able to do small
amount of work and had been employed
the past week. For some reason, 1t is
said, he was not paid Saturday evening,
and this caused him a great deal of worry
1t is said he visited saloon and met a
young man named Ernest Gibbons. He
asked this young man if he would do him
a favor. remarking at the same time 1t
would be the last favor he would ever ask
of him. and that was to give him chew
Of tobacco and a drink. This request was
complied with. Mr. Bartlett was not fond
of liquor, and had probably only two or
three drinks that night. The young man
paid no serious attention to what Mr.. Bart
lett said, leaving him shortly afterward.
1t is thought that after leaving his friend
Mr.. Bartlett went directly to the railroad
station, short distance away, and sat
down upon the platform awaiting death.
The engine must have struck him in the
back part of the head, as 1t was badly
cut and his shoulders were badly bruised.
When he was picked up by the freight
train crew he was still conscious and re-
membered what had struck him, but would
make no statement why he was at the sta
ton at that time in the night. He recog
nized his son, who was sent for, and also
the different physicians who edeavored to
save his life. He lived about an hour after
the accident, remaining conscious up to
the time of his death He Is survived by
his son and three daughters, all of whom
reside here. At the inquest held yesterday
the jury rendered a verdict of suicide, and
exonerated the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company from all blame.
