MADE A THRILLING RESCUE
The Laonch Elk Saves The Lives
of Three Sailors.

Mr.. Joseph w. Trautwein and his

when the launch appeared on the
scene.
The men were three sailors who
had started for a sail in one of the
government boats and when near the
shore opposite the Naval Academy they
were struck by a squall of wind,
which keeled them over. All three
we're thrown into the water and they
clung to the gunwale. The ohoppy
waves made it exceedingly difficult to
cling to the boat, but the men hung
on for dear life. They were on the
verge of despair when the Elk's pas
sengers discovered their plight.
Two of the men were rescued on the
first approach of the boat, but the
other man, being on the other side of
the capsized boat, could not be reach

about he had released his hold and
was sinking from sight, just as "A
hand was reached out TO save him.
He was dragged into the launch so ex-

some time. The men were taken

emy. A launch from the Academy

GALLOWAY NOW ON TRIAL
Removed Prince George County
Case Is Started.

Efforts to secure jury in tine muir
der case of Edward, alias Egypt. Gal
Ioway, were begun in the Circuit
Court this morning. Galloway is
charged with the murder of Arthur
Dorsey, it being alleged that he muir
dered him with a revolver on A ugust
IA, 1899.
The offense was committed at
Bladensburg, in Prince George coun-
ty, and the trial was moved to this
county because of the claim that the
prisoner could not secure fair trial
in his own county. It was thought
than it would be an easy matter to Sc
cure jury in the case, and great sur
prise was expressed at the difficulty
experienced. AT noon only seven Of
the needful jurymen were secured, and
il looked as though the panel would
not be filled today. During the after
noon, however. jury was secured
and addresses were made on both
sides.
Galloway is represented by Attor-
news Robert Wells and George r..
Hoover, and at the opening Of court
this morning they asked that addi-
tional counsel be assigned the defend
ant. The court, therefore, appointed
Attorney Robert Moss. Nicholas II.
Green, State /. Attorney, will probably
conduct the case on the part Of the

MIDD|ES' FIRST CREW WON.
DEFEATS OLD PENN IN RACE
ON THE SEVERN.
Pretty Race Ard Close Finish Re-
suited In a Victory For
The Sailors on
Saturday.

In as pretty race and as close a
finish as has been witnessed on the
Severn for years the first crew of the
Naval Academy defeated the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania on Saturday af-
ternoon.
The second crew was not so success
full in it's contest with the freshmen
of Pennsylvania, being defeated by a
small margin. One of the largest
crowds which has witnessed race for
wears was present, aud oheered on the
victOrs as they crossed the finish line.
Ii was desired to have the contest ON
the open course. but the wind was
too strong and the water was too
choppy to permit of that course being
| used.
After waiting some time the upper
course was selected, and the start was
made after two false breaks. Old
Penn was to the west of the course
and the navy first crew next. The
contest behind tile two other crew 5
was rowed at the same time, and the
race was, indeed, pretty sight. Early
in the game ii appeared that Penn
was going to have a walkaway. They
we're nearly boat length ahead when
the navy stroke was quiokened. The
gap was slowly but surely closed. bat
was opened when Penn made short
spurt.
The navy made another spnrt and
| rapidly forged ahead, after being bow
and bow at tle three quarter. Amid
the deafening blasts of hundreds OF
launches and steamers the navy stroke
was quickened. Some water was
shipped in the first navy shell, but il
retarded progress little. Just as the
finish line was reached Atkin, of the
Penn varsity, collapsed and fell back
ward in the she'll.
Ingram, Of the navy second crew,
also keeled over at the finish and did
not recover all the afternoon. At the
finish the navy first crew was - full
length ahead. but showed no open
water. The two second crews labored
valiantly for FIRST honors, but the navy
second was three .fourths of length
to the bad The crews. with positions
and weights, were as follows:
