While returning to his home from Rockville tn a buggy, to which was attached a colt not thoroughly broken, and while descending a hill, a portion of the harness gave way and the animal became unmanagable. Mr. Higgins was thrown from the vehicle, and striking upon one of the wheels, recelved & wound in the throat about two inches in length, from which the blood flowed freely. He was also very badly brufsed about the head and face. Although stunned and bleeding, the unfortunate man managed to get home, aid was at once summoned in the pe mn oof Dr. Otho Linthicum of this place, who sewed up the gaping wound and otherwise rendered the sufferer as comfortable ag possibl After kicking itself loose from the buggy the colt made its ‘way to the barn yard of @ neighbor near the read, where it was cared for. ion Busey, a colored man, residing in the horhood of Martinsburg, this county, was ue bere Saturday night iby Deputy Sherif J. ‘igon Poole and lodged in jail, charged with as- uit. He was arrested by that officer for cone mitting a misdemeanor, and while on his way to the office of a Justice of the peace made a violent assault upon the officer and attempted to escape. In tho struggle the officer was thrown to the ground, but managed to free himself from the clutches of the negro and draw his revolver. The prisoner then attempted to run, but the discharge of the weapon sent a bullet crashing through his right foot. He then surrendered without. farther trouble. Upon his arrival here he was taken to the ofice of Dr. Edward Anderson, where the wound was dressed, and he was afterward removed to the Jail. Busey {s represented as a desperate character, there being additional charges against him, {neluding larceny and other crimes.

So far as the ‘speculation reearas to the ake He cans are ned ‘it appears gene: aily' ‘conceded that the sote of tals county. Will be cast for Capt. John McDonald, but at the same time it 1s generally believed that the nomination will be captured, as usual, by one of the other counties of the district. It is said that an effort will to nominate an Alle- gany man, but when it is remembered that the Rresent member of’ Congress, the United States nator-eleet and the governor, all republicans, are from that county, it-seems provable that the om: nating convention will select a candidate from some of the other counties. In regard to the democratic nominee nothing appears to point directly to this county as Ik secure the rather uncertain prize. Ai those mentioned here for the place are Messrs. Blair Lee, Wm. Veirs Bouic, jr., and H. Maurice Talbott, the latter being supposed to pave & majority of the delegation from the county. Notwithstanding the declaration of the recent state convention in favor ‘of the gold. standard, it ts tore than probable that the congressional con- Yention will nominate a candidate upon @ free si ver platform. So far as this county is concerned, and among those who claim to be democratic lead- ers no such sudden chagge has occurred in history Since the conversion of St. Paul. Among those un- used to such sudden changes there appears to be a strong suspicion that the conversion is not genuine, especially in the case of those whose business in- terests would doubtless be imperiled by the elec- tion of. the ticket nominated at Chicago. ——— HYATTSVILLE. congressional nom!- the democratic and re- there is considerable ut the county in An interesting game of base ball was played Saturday aftercoon between the Hyattsville and Ariel clubs on the grounds of the former, the score being 8 to 7 in favor of the home nine.

The Local Branch of the Association of Stationary Engineers. The members of Washington Association No. 1 of the National Association of Sta- tionary Engineers have completed arrange- ments whereby they hope to accomplish much more good for the order in the future than they have even been able to do in the past. In order to show their active interest in the work of the association, and appre- ciation of its principles and objects, the Capital Traction Company has given them the use of 2 handsome meeting room in the central power station. Here the association will keep the instruments and apparatus used by them in demonstrating problems in engineering and electricity, and with this as their headquarters they intend, they say, to push their educational work with great vigor. The chief and primary object of the Na- tional Association of Steam Engineers is the better education of its members in steam engineering and to afford them legal pro- tection when unjustly assailed by other organizations in their vocation, and a spe- cial fund has been set aside by the National Association for this purpose. Among the subjects discussed at the meet- ings of the Washington Association are the responsibility and duties of engineers in the prevention of accidents of any kind, the proper care of machinery under their charge and the economical ‘use of fuel and other supplies, thus enabling young engineers to profit by the experience of older ones. No Strikes, The preamble‘of the constitution, which tefers to strikes, reds as follows: “This association shall at 16 time be used for the furtherance of strikes, or for the purpose of interfering imany way between its mem- bers and their employers In regard to wages, recognizing the Mentity of interests between emplcyer and employe, and not countenanc- ing any project or éfiterprise that will in- terfere with perfect harmony between them.” FSM At this time the local association has be- tween fifty and sixty members, and it is stated that there is not one out of employ- ment. ‘The officers are: President, C. 8.

Captain Blassingame was a member of one of the most prominent families in thé state and a man respected and honored by all. He was a confederate soldier, and before the war was a colonel in.the United States army. and other DIAMOND RACE MEET Finest List of Entries for Any Local Event Ever Given. BEST-XNOWN CYCLISTS INCLUDED Washingtons Meet New Yorks Again Today. OURRENT SPORTING NOTES The entries for the diamond race mest of the Arlington Wheelmen Saturday at the International Athletic Park closed Sat- urday evening, and the lst of entries em- braces well-known racing men, not only of this vicinity, but the surrounding cities. It 1s without a doubt the best and largest entry Mst of any race meet ever held in the District, the valuable prizes for the event attracting the attention of racing men all over the country. The profes- sional races will prove of more than or- dinary interest, on account of the number of fast men, mostly from Baltimore, Jer- sey City and other places. The occasion will also mark the turning point in the standing of several local wheelmen, no less than four joining the rapidly increasing ranks of the pros. Harry Park and F. W. Hutching, who were for some time the only two pro men in the city, did not enter. W. E. Crist, the celebrated old-time racer, who has not been on the track at a meet since the league meet on Analostan Island, in 1892, has again come forward. He enters in the one-mile handicap race, amateur, and im- mediately afterward races in the two-mile professional handicap. Frank Potts, a member of the Arlingtons, who has not been on the track, is in almost all the amateur events, including the tandem race, and then becomes a professional. H. W. Clum, another local man, is en- tered for the novice race, and then again in the two-mile professional handicap. Wiliam Walcott, another hingtor boy, after racing in several amateur contests, will join the ranks of the speedy pros. Another event has been added on the program, an unpaced mile, open to Di trict riders only, the prize for which {3 the Eclipse trophy cup. Schade cannot enter this race, because he is not regarded as a Washingtonian. The whole program and the trial heats will be run off in the afternoon, beginning at 2:30 o'clock, giving a half day to the exciting pastime, and also affording the public the full worth of their admission. In order to avoid de- lay the prizes will be awarded to the win- ners on the same evening at 8:20 o'clock at the club house of the Washington Road Club at the Hotel Arno. In case of any protests the prizes for that race will be withheld, but all others will be given out. Race Meet Officia The officials of the meet are as follows: Referee, E. E.

Caca, E. G. Tatnall, T. Wistar, E. 8. Stokes and Henry Cope of the Haverford College Cricket Club, who went ebroad several months ago, re- turned yesterday on the steamship Bel- genland from Liverpool. The team won four and lost four of the fifteen games played, while the remain- ing seven were drawn, some—as in the case of Shrewsbury, Harleybury and Ruz- by—in their favor, and others—as in the case of Eton, Clifton and Winchester—in favor of their opponents. The reason why there were so many drawn games was that one day did not suffice to see the con- clusion of the several matches. The English daily papers do not usually give much space to public school cricket, but have made an exception of Haverford, and now that the tour is over are sounding its praises and expressing the hope that it may be favored with further visits from American cricket clubs. The four teams which Haverford con- trived to beat were those of the M. C. C., Repton, Charterhouse and Cambridge Long Vacatior team. Two of these were single innings victories, while the Charterhouse game was decided on the first innings, be- ing a one-day match. Haverford ‘w beaten by Cheltenham, Uppingham, Har- row and Malvern. Cheltenham won by six wickets, Uppingham by over 100 runs and several wickets, Harrow by an inning and some 20) runs, to say nothing of some seven wickets in hand, and Malvern by about forty runs. The highest score com- piled by the Haverford team was against M_ C. C., while they could only get 33 against Harrow. The largest score made against them was 411 for two wick ets, by Clifton, E. H. Steinthal making not out. Mr. Lester, with commendable candor, says that the tour showed that the Haverford team was not reliable as a batting side, while it contained only thre bowlers capable of getting wickets. “Their fielding was at times up to the standard of that of their opponents, but at others fell far below it. In all three departments of the game Haverford has learned much by the tour which her cleven has made.” The Former May Ride Again, 1 Latter is Still Under Suspen: The cases of L. D. Cabanne and F. J. Titus, the racing men, who were last year suspended for alleged crooked riding, were taken. up separately by the racing board at its meeting at Louisville. The case of Titus came up first, and the following res- olution was adopted: Resolved, That in view of F. J. Titus’ action subsequent to the meeting of the national assembly, the racing board deems it inexpedient to accept the recommenda- tion of the nationai assembly. This was adopted unanimously. The case of Cabanne was next called. The following resolution was adopted in his case: Resolved, That in accord with the rec- ommendation of the national assembly for mercy to be extended to L. D. Ca- banne, the sentence of said Cabanne be reduced to expire September 1, 1896, being one year from date of suspension. Wind-Up of National Meet. The L. A W. national meet closed Satur- day.

Ogden, an outsider, won the ninth renew- al of the Futurity stake at Sheepshead Bay Saturday. Ten horses started. Ogden got off first, led by a head at the quarter, led Ornament at five furlongs by a half length and went under the wire by half a length, a winner of $44,290. Ornament, second, got $3,666.66, and Rodermond, third, $1,833.33. The others were badly beaten. A Deserved Tribute. McGuire was applauded liberally by the spectators for catching Reitz’s high foul near the grand stand in the third. It was very good for Mr. McGuire, but such catches are daily occurrences with Mesers. Robinson and Clarke.—Baltimore News. Good enough! But don’t for an instant fool yourself with the delusion that either Robinson or Clarke is one whit better as a catcher than this same McGuire. Indeed, you can look the league over from Boston to St. Louis and you will not find a catcher who has a hunch on McGuire, either in playing the position or in hitting the ball. McGuire comes pretty near being the very best catcher in the parent base ball organ- ization.—Cincinnati Enquirer. The Neel Brothers Win.

Major McKinley and Chairman Hanr met at the latter's home et Cleveland yes- terday and talked over the campaign. Mr. Hanna sald he was very much pleased with the progress of affairs. More than 15,000,000 documents had been mailed fro: the Chicago headquarters within the pa two weeks. “The situation in the west is improving daily,” he remarked. ‘The work of «lu- cation is having a good effect.” Mr. Hanna said the speaking campaign would probably be well under way with the next ten days. When asked if Maj McKinley would take the stump Mr. Hanna replied: “Major McKinley has made no charge in his plans. He will not take the stump in this campaign. It has been hinted that he might go to Milwaukee to address the convention of the Republican Lergue. He will not do so.” Major McKinley returns home today, and Mr. Hanna will start for New York this evening. a Big Blaze in an linois Town.

Goldman, who conducted a department store, is the principal loser, his loss being estimated at $55,000. The loss on build is $40,000. Half a dozen other smaller firms are also losers and many poor f: im lies lost everything they possetsed, | escaping with their lives in their clothes. ——___+e+-—_____ A Rank Failure.
