SUES HIS DOCTOR FOR SIS, 900,

Suits for damages amounting 70 Slo,'
166 we're instituted in York, Pa, yester-
day by George W. Sterling, prominent
merchant, against DR.. 8. K. Pfaltzgraf,
of that city. They are based upon the
alleged negligence Of the physician In
treating Mrs. Sterling prior to her death
several years ago. Sterling recently
pleaded guilty to assaulting the ply
sician upon the street, and his wife's
tombstone bears an inscription declaring
her death to have been due to her ply
sicisn's negligence. Both men are
prominent Masons, and friends about 8
year ago made what was apparently q
successful effort to reconcile them.
Recently the feud broke out anew when
Sterling, walking with his four children,
passed the physician and deliberately
knocked him down. He paid a fine
of $50.

creasing the glory already earned by
the Bloxham Rifles.
The boys had new experiences at the
encampment of this year. Hitherto
there has been certain amount OF lax
itv of disciple, whhie relieved the irk-
someness of military regulations, but
this time the militia was quartered with
the regular troops, at Fort Pickens, on
Santa Rosa Island, and not allowed to
visit the city at all.
AS not many hours were consumed IN
drilling, ETC., the time hung rather heav-
ilv on their hands, and life grew tritie
monotonOus. However, the surf-bathlng
was fine, and the regulars friendly and
hospitable, 80 the boys got on fairly well
until they broke camp and left the Island
for Pensacola, on board the Steamship
Monarch. At Pensacola they had two
hours' leave, after which they boarded
the train for home, reaching here at
1880 O'Clock on Tuesday morning.
At the arfnory they found pleasant
surprise awaiting them in the way Of q
nice breakfast, prepared through the
thoughtfulness of their comrade, Mr..
Frank Keene.
