WILD FRENCHING PARTY
Middies Who are Careless of
Restraint Because so Near the
Bilging Point go on Ram
page.
KEEP OFFICERS BUSY.
Department Of Discipline Watchmen and
Cadet Officer; do Picket Duty
Tor Several Hours.

Presumably sure that their unsatis-
factory condition in studies as a result
OF the just completed examinations
had put them perilously close to the
"bilging" :" point any way, half a dozen
or more middies went on wild ram
page last night, and for several hours
had the officers of the department of
discipline, the watch and the cadet
officers at the Naval Academy on the
jump.
Seldom in the history of the Acad-
envy has there been so big french.
ing party as that which last night
re suited in the capturing of seven
youths for unauthorized leave from
the academic limits. At noon today
it was understood that nothing of the
occurrence had been reported official
~ to the Superintendent office. but
that there would be punishment a
plenty for the unfortunate youths who
were caught.
The semi-annual examinations end
ed yesterday and it is said that those
middies who felt confident that thev
had failed and would be forced to re-
sign were imbued with the don't
care spirit and decided on a general
jollification in town. All the middies
in the lark are said to be fourth
class men. Their plans were badly
laid.
One watchman reported the capture
of two boys who were trying to vault
the walls near the chapel. Another
watchman grabbed a MILDLY as he
was climbing the wall in the lower
end of the Academy. In doing so he
slipped on the icy turf, fell and hurt
is hand. Mr.. MILDLY thereupon sprint
ed up King George street.
Lieut.. Commander Buchanan and
Lieutenant Lowman, the discipline Off
GERS on duty, called upon several up
per-class midshipmen to assist in the
chase. They were stationed about the
grounds with the result that two
"plebes" were captured who had
spent the moonlight evening skating
near the Academ Later others were
rounded up and returned to quarters.
Among the senior middies who pur-
sued the "plebes' was one of the
crack sprinters of the Academy. He
was chasing the lad that got over the
wall.
II belong to the track team" he is
reported to have said, "but I'll be
darned if could catch that fellow; he
was too fast for me"
Despite the vigilance of the officers
and upper classmen, two Of the cul-
prits, it is said, got back to quarters
over the walls.

THE RUBE YI0LINIST.
A Good HeadIiner at the Colonial
Theatre-Uncle Josh Makes the
Violin Talk-SpectacuIar
Superba. .

Talk about "the violin being next
akin to the human voice." il Is the
human voice, as demonstrated last
night by Uncle JOSH" the "Rube
volinist, at the Colonial Theatre. He
can make it talk in many voices.
The strings and bow recite MARY
had little lamb" as we'll as Mary
herself can. and better, and one hears
the high pitched treble of a little
girl of five or six distinctly.
Dialogues were carried on between
UncleJosh and the violin, the stringed
instrument responding distinctly and
clearly, and talking much more plain
iy than some people do. The Rube
violinist plays with a match for a
bow, just as well as with a bow, and
gave several tunes la this novel way
He played the air 1.-The Mockinr
Bird in the old-fashioned way and
gave limitations on the violin of all
kinds of birds and barnyard fowls.
One of his tricks was playing "Pop
Goes the Weasel" with the violin in
all sorts of positions, and using chairs
as the strings of the instrument and
the violin as the bow Uncle Josh is
great. He's whole show and no one
should fail to see him and hear him
tonight and tomorrow.
BEAUTIFUL Superba" is superb. A
handsome woman does some pictur-
esque shadow dancing, and the cleo
trical effects are beautiful. She is
graceful and her poses are pictur-
esque. The act is novel and must be
seen to be appreciated.
The prima donna, "Armand Melnotte
& Co" Is another good headliner.
Mr.. Melnotte makes up as a woman
very cleverly, and he sings in a high
key as well as in his natural voice.
The sketch is very good and pleased
the large audiences at both perform
ances.
BY request Hagan- & Searles in
their musical act and Dutch songs
were again seen to advantage. The
entire show was excellent and one OF
the best bills seen at the Colonial
this season. Manager Bower
is to be congratulated upon sending
such high-class vaudeville here with
excellent moving pictures.

POSSIBILITIES OF ROAD.
Opening Of Drum Point Pleases Resi-
dents OF Counties.

The report Of the opening of the
Drum Point railroad and the prospec-
tive developent it means to the coun-
ties, pleases the countians.
The report was made by a special
committee appointed to make an auto
mobile trip from Millersville. this
county, to Drum Point, Calvert coun-
ty. Regarding the possibilities of
the road, the report, which was
prepared by Mr.. H. M. Thompson
and approved by Messrs. BENJAMIN
I. Fendall and j. Henry Cook, saws
We were struck with the beau
tiful farming section which the road
will travel, but in which now. ow-
ing to distance from railroad and
steamboat connections, farmers are
obliged to eonfne their efforts to
practically one crop-tobacco. With
adequate railroad connections to the
various markets, this section of
Maryland could, and no doubt would,
become the greatest fruit and veg
etable producing section of the State.
THE terminus at Drum Point is
splendidly located. There is an
abundance Of deep water capable of
floating the largest vessels and re-
curing only short piers. The Patux-
ent river is in the i'm mediate vicin-
ity of one of the greatest oyster
producing sections of the Chesa-
peake The transportation of oysters
would naturally be by way of the
railroad and would become quite an
item of freight.
while this committee is Of the
opinion that the road would not earn
sufficient to be self-supporting and
pay dividends for several years, we
think eventually the road, carefully
and economically managed, would be
able to earn its fixed charges and a
surplus applicable to dividends.
1t is stated in the report that the
residents of Anne Arundel and Cal
vert counties will subscribe, prob
ably, TO the securities of the com
pany. as it would mean the develop
ment Of large tracts of real estate.
In an estimate made by Mr.. II. l..
White, an engineer he stated that
the road could be built and equipped
for about $1,2l5,O0O. Mr.. Fendall
estimates the cost at s1,l42, 600.
The appointment of a trustee, such
as bank or trust company. is
recommended as a safeguard
1t is pointed out that five miles of
additional track would put this road
in direct connection with the Penn
svlvania, and six or eight miles of
connecting track would give a juno
tion with the baltimore and Ohio.

ELECTROCUTION COMING?
Delegate Wooden VIII Offer Bill in
House to Abolish Hapgings in
MarYland-Weyler an OPP
ponent

Adjustment of the moose and the
falling trap of the gallows in the iail
yards of the county seats Of the state
in favor of the electric chair at the
Maryland penitentiaTy is provided in a
bill now in the House of Delegates en-
crossing room and which will be intro
duced in the House next week by Dele.
gate Wooden of Carroll county.
The bill embodies substantially the
provisions Of measure first drawn
number Of years ago by Mr.. Robert
Moss of the Annapolis bar, but which
was killed as the present measure is in
danger of being shelved. through the
opposition of the officials of the Mary
land penitentiary.
In its present shape the bill will
probably be opposed by the directors
OF the Maryland Penitentiary, as it
provides that all executions within the
state shall take place at the Peniten-
tiary. and, further, that the penalty
shall be inflicted by the warden, his
deputy or some one designated by
them.
Warden Weyler has already criticised
the plan of penitentiary executions on
the ground that they create demorali-
Zation within the prison and react on
the condition of prisoners. He con-
tends that the death chair, if adopted,
should be installed in the House of Cor.
rection.
The Wooden Bill provides briefly that
hanging be abolished, electrocutior
substituted. and all executions take
place at the Penitentiary. Further,
| that the expense of such executions be
! borne by the county where the sentence
is imposed, or by Baltimore city if the
crime was committed there.
| The concluding section of the BIZ
/ provides an appropriation or SO, OOC
for installing Of the death chair ant
electrical apparatus.

Owners Again Ask for
the Improvement.

May Zimmerman stated this MORN
ing that in his belief Main street would
within a year be paved from Fourth

to West Eighth street. Yesterday the
paving of Main from Fifth to Eighth
street was practically decided by
twelve out of fourteen property own
ers asking for this improvement The
mayor hopes for report on the ques-
tion of raising the c. & 0. bridge soon.
The officials of the company state that
changes they intend to make in the
tracks will make a raise from Is in
ches TO two feet possible This would

ROCK ISLAND, ILL.,, March 90
Company D, of the sixth regiment, lii
nois National Guard has been called
to guard the coroner's jury called to-
day to Investigate the killing of the
men shot in the rioting here early in
the week Other soldiers maintained
their patrol duties today and in many
parts Of the city the guard was
strengthened as result of warning
received by officers here that one hun.
dred men, among them alleged dyna-
miters, were on their way here from
Muscatine, Iowa, to make trouble. The
name of the informant was withheld
but the message itself was given out
1t alleged that 100 rough characters
took an early train for Rock Island
bent on trouble.
Il say several dynamiters leave here
for Rock Island within the last few
hours" the message concludes.
The warning received credence from
the police here because of the fact
that much of the trouble is blamed on
thugs who do not live in Rock Island
1t is asserted that the heads of the
mob that stormed the City Hall Tues
day night in the riot that resulted in
the police firing volley into the
ranks of the mob, were from other riv
er towns. Mayor Schriver in a state
ment has asserted that these charac
ters were encouraged to come to Rock
Island to start trouble, and that it was
the people who brought them in thai
he was fighting.

troops will be at the railroad stations
and every one who arrives and is un
able to give a satisfactory explanation
of his reason for coming will be ar
