All day Thursday sheriff's posses were on the search. No trace of the missing could be found. Late last night, how ever, John w. McQuay, who lives four miles from Mcdaniel, on Harris creek
 one of the estuaries of Chesapeake bay
 heard in the stiffness of the night the soft splash of oars far out on the black waters. He called, but there was no answer. Rowing wearily up the stream the man at the oars paid no heed. Me Quay frantically summoned help by tele- phone. A posse answered and then be- gan the stealthy trailing of Eastman through the waters to his doom. Y

 One of the most pitiable figures in the tragedy Is Charles P Thompson of Me- Do nel. the foster fathsr of the murdered Cirl Sitting on the torch of his home, overlooking the waters of Harris creek, where Eastman had ended his life in the early hours of the day, the broken old man today told the story of the girls life so far as he could recall the details. He had followed the girls body to its last resting place beside the grave of his wife's son. The girl had been devoted to her foster mother.
 To the foster brother lying in the grave next to her, the girl had been the ideal of all that was good and sweet and pure. The young fellow had grown up with her and learned to love her and it is said that he desired her to be- come his wife. She would not He killed himself.

 "The old man went on to tell much of the story of his own life and that of the girl He was born 70 years ago in Connecticut and afterward lived for a time in New York. He came to the eastern shore of Maryland to live IS years ago, buying the farm where he still resides.
 The little girl who became his foster daughter was but three years old when h1r was at the time worker in the char tiles of Minneapolis, Minn. The child was then in the custody of a street car driver or conductor, who was willing to surrender her to any one who could offer better home than he could af- ford.
 "The child did not belong to the man." said Colonel Thompson.

Strength of c. & o. Ore of the Few
 Features.

New York, May fe.-The stock mar
 ket today was almost bare of feature ol incident. Its action was inconclu- Sive as an indication of financial opin-
 ion or speculative sentiment The professional element was greatly di-
 vided in views, but this division, in stead of prompting opposing opera tions, had the effect of discouraginz activity altogether. The conviction
 was very general that large specula- tive commitments had been closed out of the market by sales to take profits. This conviction left the professional traders undecided as to the signifi- canoe of the fact. One party argued that the desire to get away for sum- mer trips to Europe and enjoy the profits accrued furnished the motives for the recent selling, and not any well grounded d1strust of the stability of the market, Prices drifted feebly and changed their current frequently Some of the obscure stocks which have been supported by pools lately were allowed to run off weakly. Some other specialties showed signs of being sus- tained. Strength of Chesapeake & Ohio was one of the few features of the market, This was accounted for by the talk of the intention to extend it's connections and join 1t with other smaller roads already under common ownership to organize @ new and Hm- pcrtant trunk line railroad system. The failure of a stock exchange house, which became known over night, ap- peared to be ignored, probably owing to the small accounts outstanding at the stock exchange. The closing up of these accounts was followed by the late rise however. Further engage ments of gold for export to South America gave color to the estimates of large additions to the movement The resumption of the publication of weekly bulletins by the weather bu- .reau received some attention, in view of the high importance attached to crop chances at this time. Reports of restoration of wages which have been recently cut by some of the independ- ent steel companies, made a good im- pression and strengthened the belief in the progress of improvement in that trade. The belated rise in United States Steel gave the market the only stnblance Of animation it enjoyed at any time during the day and had the effect of making the closing strong. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $5,350,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

QUILL GETS DECISION OVER CLABBY
Former Norwich Boy the Heavy Hitter-Ketchell
 Beats Up McGann-Giants in Last Place Again

Boston, May 1S.-Tommy Quill of Brockton won the decision from Jim- my Clabby of Milwaukee tonight in twelve speedy rounds at the Ar1nory Athletic association. Both men were fast and clever and similar in style. Quill did the leading throughout, and by his fast work at the end overcame what advantage Clabby gained earlier by better hitting power.
 From the fact that Clabby is a na- tive of this city, there was much in- terest in the outcome of the above fight, and inquiries by telephone were received all the evening at The Bunle- tin office as to how Clabby was doing. When the result was learned 1t was the opinion that Jimmy would have to have another go at the Brockton boy before his followers here would admit that this one bout was decisive. Quill has two years in age on Clabby and also two years more of experience in the ring.
 Jimmy was born on the West Side here July 14, 1890, so that he will be 19 this summer His father, who was a melder, moved with the family to Milwaukee a number of years ago, and Jimmy started his fighting career in the west in 1906. He has cleaned up everything out there, and in three bouts with Jimmy Gardner--the first a defeat and the other two draws-he has demonstrated that he must come in for consideration among the welter- weights.
 lsill Cla-bby of North Thames street, who is his uncle, expects Jimmy to visit him for several days this week, probably coming this morning.

Bruette's Fancy Tanning Speciality.

the eleventh. Saruthers, whose slug ging was a feature of the game all through, was Johnny -the-spot again, stepping out to wide ball and driving it over first for a single that brought in the winning run. The hneups:
 Strawberries-Welch c, Devine D, White 1b, Nichols 2b, White 3b, Will son ss, Donohue !f, Caruthers Of. Rob- erts If
 Waiters-Greenwood c. Joe Sullivan r. D. Sullivan 1b. Haley 2b. Lavarge ss, Kilrow 3b, Scanlon Of, Govang If, Bruette If
 Joe Sullivan famed eight of the Strawberries, and the three pitchers used by them, Caruthers. Donohue and Devine, sent dozen Walters back to the bench. Among the batting fea- lures were twobaggers by Govang. Greenwood and Kilrow. but Leo Bru- cite came close to earning the blue ticket by flaming the five times he faced the box artist, and the last time with two on bases and chance to break up the game.
 In the field the Walters were as lively as crickets, Captain Scanlon starring with several clever catches and throwing to first for a double while Pitcher Sullivan doubled a man at the plate, and Haley twice did the trick to first. At short the Walters were greatly strengthed by Lavarge, \ ho replaced Allen, and Charlie show ed some class when he laid down a bunt, and then stole around the en- tire circuit.

SIX TIMES DOWN
 FOR COUNT OF NINE.
McGann Was chopping Block for keteheI. MiddIeweiaht Champion.

Pittsburg, May 1s.-Six times to- night Hugh McGann went down for a count of nine in a six round bout with Stanley Ketchel, champion midz Gleweight of the world. Five times in the sixth round he was saved from Q knockout by a second. Twice he was knocked through the ropes. once clear across the press table into the seats of spectators. Ketchel appar- ently toyed with his opponent. Only the cheering voices of his champions from the audience inspired McGann several times to get upon his feet again, after being all but knocked out.
 For the first three rounds McGann fought hard and landed several times on the champion, but apparently be exhausted himself in the early rounds and could not face the powerful blows of his antagonist after the first half of the bout. Never before has so large an audience witnessed a boxing bout here, six thousand persons crowding the Duquesre gardens.
