Yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock several Officers of the eighth precinct went out in the county near St. Patrick’s cemetery, where colored “crap” shooters and card players usually assemble Sunday afternoons. They gamble and numerous complaints are made of their boisterous conduct, When the police- men got near the cemetery they saw a crowd of colored boys engaged in a game of cards, When the officers got over the fence the negroes started torun, One of them, named Dan Smith, ran into the waternear by and Policeman Reutch followed him, The boy showed fight and drew a revolver. The officer, thinking the negro was going to shoot,drew his pistol to intimidate the fugitive and in the struggle the officer's weapon was discharged, The bullet grazed the negro’s thigh and broke the skin, but did not injure him Lag at In ad- dition to the revolver Smith had a serous knife in his pocket. John Stewartand Francis Smith were also arrested. The latter was released on $5 col- lateral, which was forfeited in the Police Court this morning. John Stewart was fined $5. Dan Smith was tried on a charge of assaulting the officer, for which he was sentenced to 60 days in jail, and he was also fined $5 for being in an unlawful assembly, The weapon taken from Smith was’ not loaded, but he Rad car- tridges in his pocket, which he threw away while in the water, ——— The Police Should Look After These Hoodlums, To the Editor of Tux Eventno Star: The park atthe junction of New York and Massachusetts avenues, between 7th and 9th streets northwest, was the scene yesterday of outrageous and disgusting practical joking at the hands of a number of young toughs. The back of a lady in a white dress in front of aparty going through the park (of which the writer was one) was noticeably covered with tobacco juice, and you can imagine the horror at discovering that their own white dresses were in a like condition and absolutely ruined. A crowd of young men (tobacco chewers) were amusing themselves by expec- torating on ladies’ dresses as Se them.

Struck by Another Woman with a Poker. Saturday night about 9 o’clock Policeman Ellis’ attention wus attracted to a house near 15th street and Ohio avenue by hearing a woman's screams for assistance. When the of- ficer entered the building he found Mollie Nel- son, a colored woman, sitting on the steps lead- ing to the third story, with an ugly wound on her head, from which the blood was streaming and had formed a pool on the floor near her feet. Her clothing was also saturated with | blood. The woman had been in a fight with | an old negrc woman named Alice Jones, who is better known as “one-eyed Alice.” The in- jured woman was weak from loss of blood, and the officer, fearing she might die, had her sent to the first precinct station without delay. There she was attended by Dr. Gill of the Les, ae hospital, who, after dressing her wound, which he found was a painful but not dangerous one, had her sent to the hospital. “‘ONE-EYED ALICE” ARRESTED. While the injured woman was being cared for at the hospital the officer went in search of her assailant and found her hiding in one of the upper rooms of her house, She made no resistance, but went quietly with the officer to the station, She admitted the assault and said | she struck Mollie with an iron poker because the latter cursed her, The old woman sajd that Mollie owed her 75 cents for board. Know- ing that Mollie had money, she asked her to settle the bill, which she declined to do, deny- ing that she had any money. Mollie, she said, commenced to curse and abuse her and shs struck her with the poker. Alice Jones was fined $10 in the Police Court this morning. —_—.__. ANACOSTIA, Tue Cnurcnes.—Rev. Geo.

The Colored Camp on the Monocacy NEW BUSINESS ENTERORISE]! Battle Field—Neighborhood Notes. Correspondence of Tux EvENIxo Stan. Freperick, Md., July 28, 1889. The rain was pouring down yesterday morn- ing when the colored companies of the Mary- land national guard arrived at Frederick junc- tion and marched over to the camp ground, occupying the tents and using the mess sheds that were the quarters of the fifth regiment during the existence of Camp Jackson, The Baltimore Rifles and Monumental City Guards arrived first, reaching the camp at 11:30 o'clock, with about fifty men in each command, The Alleghany County Guards arrived from Cum- berland at 12:30, numbering about 47 men. The roster of the entire camp, including officers and musicians, will number about two hundred men, The men were greeted upon their ar- rival by a detachment of the Frederick Rifle- men, company A, first regiment, who had re- mained in camp to protect property: The Riflemen came to Frederick shortly after noon, and in their march throngh the streets to their armory were greeted with cheers and applause by the people, who admired their fine showing incamp. The colored troops were met on their arrival in camp by the commandant, Capt, Robert P. Brown, who will rank as major, and his staff, In spite of the discouraging as- pect of the weather the men went to work with a will to make their canvas homes ready for their six days’ stay, and by the time the sun shone out bright and warm in the afternoon matters were in good shape. The camp will be one of strict discipline, with frequent lessons for the men in guard duty, military tactics and movements. The camp will be in- spected and the men reviewed one day by Drigadier General Stewart Brown, A two-story brick and frame dwelling situated on East street, this city, and occupied by David Nolan and family, collapsed from some un- known cause at supper time last evening and fell to the re All the furniture and other contents of the building were destroyed, but none of the members of the family were hurt.

The voters of the town have already ox- pressed themselves as to the candidates to be Placed on the democratic ticket at the primary election on Saturday, and now all the workers are out looking up the rural vote. For places on the ticket to be voted next November, there are host of applicants for all the important positions, and trading among voters has almost been reduced to a science. The democratic primary ticket is headed by the name of L. Victor Baughman for controller of the ‘state treasury, and as he has no opponent named he will doubtless receive a large portion of the vote, although he is not popular with a large element of the party in this county. So far as the selection for state senator is there isa close contest between the friends of Hon. Howard Griffith and Dr. Ed- ward Wootton. Mr. Griffith, a former member of the house of delegates, is well and favorably known in western land. He is generally recognized as the favorite of the ‘mai 4 and will be a ae all their influence, Dr. Edward Wootton, his opponent for the nomination, is also well known in state and county politics, and has for years been an act- ive opponent of the ‘canal ring.” He was a member of the house of delegetes in the last general assembly, in which ly he was noted for the active part he took in organizing measures for the maintenance of the Chesa- e and Ohio canal. Dr. Wootton is a mem- r of the democratic state central committee for this county, isa fluent and forcible speaker and in general politics is considered ‘as sharp as a knife.” The ticket for the house of delegates em- braces the names of seven aspirants, only three of whom can be chosen. The first of these is Wm. Grady, member of a former house of dele- gates, and who was noted in that body for the persistency in which he labored, without suc- cess, in having the laws relating to surveys of land in the state changed and a new and swee) ing law enacted. Dr. John R. Batson of the fifth collection district, second on the primary ticket for the house of delegates, is a young and popular physician, has never held a public office, and appears to be #favorite wherever he is known in the county. Philip D. Laird, the third on the ticket, has twice en elected to the house of delegates, and has been noted at each session as a powerful and ready debater one who took a leading part in the general jation for the interests of the state and his John A, Clements, the fourth well-known citizen of Gaith- ersburg, was formerly sheriff of the county, and has considerable experience in public life, Mr. Howard A. Gar- rett, the next aspirant, is well known in this county, having for many years been engaged in mercantile business at Great Falls. He has a large number of friends in the county, and particularly along the line of the Chesa- peake and Ohio canal. Col. Wm. Kilgour, the sixth name mentioned on the ticket, is a resi- dent of this place, has for many years been in peene life, and is considered one of the lead- ing orators and writers in the state. He isa native of this county, but was for several years a resident of Allegany county, from which he was elected a member of the legisla- ture. Mr. Fletcher R. Veitch, another candi- date for the nomination, lives in the vicinity of Laytonsville. He has not heretofore been an aspirant for public favors, but is well known and highly appreciated in the county. The contest for the nomination for the office of sheriff promises to be close. W. B. Miller and W. H. Carr are the contestants. For county surveyor Geo. Minor Anderson has the field to himself.
