A Lady Shoots q Negro Man.

The strange negro man whom Mrs. Vale
ria Flack Preston caught secreted in her
home, situated on the Seventh Street Pike,
near Wheaton, on Thursday of last week
and shot at is still at large after making his
escape from the premises. Mrs. Preston re-
turned to her home from visit to a neigh
Dor, and on entering her house repaired to
one Of the rooms on the second floor. Upon
opening the door to the room she observed
a burly negro man standing in the center of
the floor. She reached a loaded revolver lying
on the mantle near the door in the room
and fired at bm. He fell to the floor, but
soon leaped to his feet and made bis escape
into another room and from that through
window screen headlong out upon the
ground. Alter she fired the shot, Mrs. Pres
ton excitedly ran down stairs with the re-
volver in her hand. Her exit from the
house was made at the same time the negro
landed on the ground In his leap. She fired
two more shots at him as he ran away, but
without effect.
At an old negro woman's house near Ken
sington the escaping negro secured a hat In
the place of the one he left in the room in
Mrs. Preston's home. From there the off.
GERS of the law could trace him no further
In their search, assisted by number of the
citizens OF the neighborhood.
II is concluded that the ball first fired at
the negro by Mrs. Preston struck him in
the head, as blood has since been found on
the doorknob which he handled as he passed
from one room to the other in his escape.
The blood stain is supposed to have been
$50 .he blood from the wound, con-
veyed to the knob by the negro's hand after
It h~I in contact with the flowing
ne ball was found buried in a
window sash at a sharp angle with the line
thai ~ fired in, and this also leads to
the belief that the ball struck his head and
was DETECTED.
Mr.. Preston was in Washington at the
time giving his attention to his established
business. Mrs. Preston and her infant child
and negro woman were the only inmates
of the dwelling when this startling excite
ment prevailed.

MARYLAND PRESS COMMENTS.
The Democratic Ticket.
Transcript, Kent County. !

Transcript, Kent county
Now that the National Convention has met
and named strong ticket--Bryan and Kern
upon strong platform, it is the duty Of
every American citizen to weigh carefully the
issues involved in this presidential campaign
and determine for themselves whether the
principles for which Bryan and Kern stand
are better for the welfare of the country than
those for which Taft and Sherman stand
For the past eight years this country has been
under the management Of the Republican
party, and at the end of that period, the
country faces deficit Of $50, 000, 900, and is
now in the throes of one of the greatest panics
in history. Do what they will, Republican
and quasi-Democratic newspapers cannot inn
press the idea Of prosperity upon the Amer
lean people, when they see staring them in the
face the great stringency Of the money mar
kets, and the scarcity and want among the
classes of labor due to continued cessation
of the mills Of industry. The Republican
party stands for "benefts to the few" The
Infamous Dingley tariff bill, the father Of
trusts, and the prime cause of the oppression
Of the masses, ia the chief weapon of the adj
vocates Of predatory wealth, and while those
who have thrived and grown fat under the
protection Of the Republican party are crying
prosperity and deceiving or financially en-
treating the press to herald their own pros
perlty, the masses are feeling to an alarming
degree the lash Of the oppressor This Is the
sum and substance of Republican prosperity
the oppression of the masses for the benfit
OF the few. Has the Democratic party ever
had such record as this Has not the party
always stood for equal rights to all and special
privileges to none, and does this not mean
that the Democratic party stands for a re-
vision Of the tariff In order that the value of
commodities may be in keeping with their
| demand2 1t Is not for men for whom the
voter should cast his ballot, though we admit
that the man who aspires to office should be
as good as the principles for which he stands.
As between Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Taft, we pre-
fer the former, because we believe that Bryan
is not only man Of presidential calibre but
he is just about man enough to see that all
| the reforms for which he stands are put into
practice. All this talk about Bryrn's radi-
calism and unftness for the presidency comes
from those people who, having enriched them
selves at the expense Of the many under the
protection Of the Republican Congress, are
afraid that Mr. Bryan will be the peoples
president instead Of the tool Of the monied
interests, and that he will deprive them oil
the means Of amassing fortunes at the expense
of the many This we believe Mr.. Bryan
will do, and this we believe to be the saliva
ton OF the country. Let US help to save the
country from the plutocrat. Let us help TO
place man in the White House whom the
money kings fear, and who will legislate for
the good OF the masses. This Is why we be-
lieve you should vote for Bryan and Kern

Bryan a Great Man.
TELEGRAM, Baltimore. |

The magnetism Of the Democratic nominee
makes him great man greater than any
who has ever come before the public. He
holds the people by the force Of this power,
and the Democratic pulse always beats more
quickly at the mere mention of his name
Such spirit could not stay at home quietly,
and lead q hum-drum existence; Fate decreed
that II should come forth and be heard in the
world, and 90 William Jennings Bryan has
been impelled to announce himself for the
third time as a candidate for the most exalted
position that this country has TO give. In the
face Of much opposition be planted his ban
ner, and whatever else he may be. he is, sure
ly, no coward.
Now that the nomination is safe, traducers
are beginning to prepare themselves for flights
into the private and public life Of Mr.. Bryan ;
the caricaturist is sharpening his pencil glee-
fully, and there will be some startling stories
told Of this honorable man, who has lived in
a clean and wholeso me way. But, fortu-
nately, campaig ming like this is understood,
and has Of, late years, lost its effectiveness.

Railroad for Georgetown.

A contract has been closed by the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company for the
building of single-track road from the K
street bridge in Water street, Georgetown,
along the river to the District line, dis
lance of four miles. The line is known as
the Washington and Western Maryland
Railroad, and when a road is built from the
present terminus OF the Linden branch of
the Metropolitan Branch at Chevy Chase
Lake to the Potomac River at the District
line connection will be established from
the K street bridge to the Metropolitan
Branch.
1t is stated that II is not the intention
at this time to complete this gap OF five
miles, as only the District portion of the
new road is now to be constructed. The
ultimate purpose Of the railroad company
is to establish in Georgetown freight sta
ton and bring supplies for Washington
from the Metropolitan Branch to George
town over the new lines when the connec-
ton is made and the entire stretch of the
road is completed.

Bryan and Kern.
[ Egis, Hartford County. |

After due elaboration and in the absence of
rancor Of faction, often more potent force
towards defeat than the enemy's warfare, the
Democratic Convention at Denver, with sim
gular uuanimity and enthusiasm, has named
the ticket Tor the great battle Of 1908.
In selecting Mr.. Bryan as its head 1t has
departed from all the traditions of party his
tory aud named q candidate twice previously
defeated. Nothing could more convincingly
demonstrate the personality of the candidate
and the principles for which he stands with
unerring zeal and purity Of purpose. Never
before in the history Of civilization--and we
make the assertion as a matter of history and
not vain figure OF speech-has man come
IN contact with and been so keenly scrutin-
lied by the nations of the earth and received
such measure of judicial approval as has
TINS man; and we believe that this last honor
is the reward OF an intelligent electorate be-
cause he has stood unscathed before the world
as one of highest motives, simplest habits,
and purest life Maryla alone would not
have nominated Mr.. Geographically the
eastern seaboard States would not have done
so-out the evolution of ages has developed a
country so large in area, 30 varied in people,
so boundlesS in resources that the East has
got to gracefully recognize that it Is now
only factor in the nations destiny-not
the whole nation as 1t was hundred years
ago.
This truth being acknowledged, its sequel
must follow that If q majority Of delegates
from the sovereign States of this great Union
desired the nomination of Bryan and Kern
they had perfect right to say so, and we,
guided by the first rudiments of political
fairness, must cordially accept the majority
choice. That the party's last standard bearer,
Judge Parker, should have so acted and the
Mary land delegates after their manly fight
also fell in line, are sure signs Of united
Democracy for the coming eight which is the
foundation of a November victory.
Strongly contrasted with some Of its pre-
decessors, the national platform is singularly
free from radicalism which has tended to
estrange voters in the past; it Is made up of
principles which no lover of the rights com.
mon 10 all the citizens of great nation can
deny, and offers standard bearer whose con-
scientious enforcement of these principles, II
elected, no one could pretend to call into
question.
