Several pocket-books had been fies, and, as already stated, it was found that “Jimmy” hap- = to be near the victim on each occasion. e day when he secured a pocket-book some of the old colored women who sell herbs saw him. They were so astonished at his boldness that they could not make an outcry and h eseaped. Then he remained away from the market for several days, but when his money was gone he returned for another supply. HE COMES TO GRIEF. He happened to get near the same old col- ored woman. Mrs. Barbara Scroggins came along, made some purchases, and returned her ketbook to her eye Her hand was Eardly out of her Boa et before his hand was in it. He secured her pocketbook, but an out- ery was made and he dropped it on the side- walk before he could get away. He was fol- lowed in the market and was arrested, the old colored woman identifying him. He was then taken to the Police Court and held in $1,000 bail for the action of the grand jury. He was indicted and convicted. Saturday morning he was brought up for sentence and was given four years at Albany. He was then handcuffed to another prisoner and marched to the eage in the basement. It was after 1 o'clock when the procession of prisoners started from the cage to the prison van, in which they were to be driven back to jail. Two females headed the procession. In going the 30 or 40 feet through the corridor the prisoner slipped his handcuffs and marched to within 5 or 6 feet of the van. He then turned through aside door and went upstairs toward the mar- shal’s office. In going up the steps he slipped’ and fell. This did not attract any one’s atten- tion, and “Jimmy” walked through the entire length of the building unnoticed. He got out of the building and disappeared. LOOKING FOR HIM. When his absence was discovered all of the marshal’s officers started out to look for him. The detectives were notified and the city searched, but the missing prisoner was not to be found. It was learne that he had a female friend in South Washington, where he was likely to go, but upon investigation it was found thet she had gone to Albany, intending to meet him on his arrival there. — O’Conner the Champion. HE DEFEATED TEEMER WITH EASE ON SATURDAY. The result of the three-mile boat race Satur- day afternoon, between John Teemer and Wm. O'Connor for the championship of America and 22,500 stakes, was won easily by O'Connor, as announced in an extra edition of Tue Srar, which was on the streets before the crowds had returned from the river front. O'Connor took the lead at the start and kept it throughout the race, although Teemer nearly caught him at the turn. This greatly encouraged. Teemer’s friends, but when straightened for home the Canadian made a beautiful spurt and drew away by several boat lengths, without any ap- parent difficulty. The rest of the race was a procession, and O’Connor won in 20:33 by about ten lengths. Teemer’s performance was a great disappointment to his admirers, who had begun to regard him as the fastest oarsman in the world. The ease with which he was defeated led a number, particularly those who lost money, to claim that the race had been sold. It has been whispered around since Saturday that the race was arranged by Rodgers, O’Connor’s backer, and that Morris and St. John, Teemer’s backers, had none of their own money at stake. This report has gained ground since the announcement that another race between the men would be ar- ranged to take place in San Francisco, Disin- terested spectators, however, are not ready to believe that Teemer could hold his claims to the championship, and his prospective honors in the race in Australia as of so little account. a Transfers of Real Estate.

In South Washington, where the coal-cars are unloaded, many tons of coal are lost to the dealers during the year. In the section known as “Blood Field” can be seen almost any morn- ing two or three dozen boys and girls, with baskets and bags, looking for free fuel. They pick up from along the tracks the coal which is dropped from the cars while being unloaded, and then follow the carts through the streets to bag any lumps that may drop when the vehicles strikes a stone or a rough place in the street. Then when the driver is not looking they will grab coal from the carts. this way many children succeed in gather fuel to run the fires at home during year. When a crowd strikes a driv: asleep on his cart they have a “nap,” and it takes but afew minutes to fill their or basket. Sometimes the police interfere and ar- rest them, but most of them conduct their steal- ear round without detection. The same is practiced to some extent on the Balti- more and Ohio railroad.

Actors not Educated Now-—Stories of Forrest and Charlotte Cushman. “How time have changed for the young ac- tor,” said Jamés O'Neill, otherwise known as Monte Cristo, toa Stan man the other day, “A stock actor doesn’t have the work that he had when I went into the profession in Cincin- nati. When I was a utility man we were obliged to be at the theater at 9 o'clock in the We had half an hour's practice at fencing in all its forms—foil, broadsword, and cutlass—and then half an hour under the danc- ing master.

She was very kind to me, and I got the biggest salary for that week's work I had ever received in ‘my life up to that time. I know when I went to bid her good-bye she was sitting in her room before a table which was literally heaped with greenbacks, and she was separating the worn and soiled bills from the fresh ones. ‘I hate these old bills,’ she said. ‘I’m going to send them to the treasury and get bright, crisp ones.’ She told | locked = ar me I ought to go to France and study for a couple of years; but I was poor and couldn't do anything of that kind, so I went back to my work,” “When did you first play in Washington?” “Teame on with Jefferson, I think in 1869, and we played in the old National theater. 1 remember I played Dick Dowlas in the ““Heir- at-Law” as my first part in this city.” iat have been great changes here since en?” “Yes, indeed. ‘This is now the most beautiful city in the country.

E. Young, of the National base ball league, returned to the city on Saturday from the meeting of the directors of the league in New York. A Star asked him this morning if he thought that Ward would come to Washington. “Yes,” was the reply, “I believe that Ward will be here next year. Of course the deal is not yet consummated, but I do not think that there is any doubt about it. The $12,000 Mr. Howitt offers isa big price, and I think that it will be accepted. If finally brought about this will be the biggest base-ball deal on record, and will do a at deal of good to the Washington club. In the first place, it will show that the men here have lots of pluck, and if there is a quality that takes with the base-bail public it is pluck. It will be an indi- cation that Weshington means not only to stay in the ring, but to do all that can be done to get toy pagar | team. Then the gain of such @ man as Ward will be an untold bene- fit. He is a ball player, a manager, and a cap- tain combined, and he will inspire’ confidence into a ball team that will make them do their best to win. Ward will no doubt have full con- trol of the club, a fact that will increase his effectiveness to a great extent. In New York he has been rather hampered by others, so that he has not had a chance to do all that he could. If it should happen, as is not unlikely, that he should not get a winning team here next season, he will at least give the people a promise of one in the near future.” “It is stated that Mr. Day stipulates as a con- dition to the deal that Mr. Hewitt shall pur- chase all of the stock now in the hands of the other Washington stockholders. What would be Mr. Day’s object in that?” asked the re- porter. “Mr. Day is working for the interests of base ball generally, whereby the New York in- terests will be advanced. He knows that a few small holders of stock ina club can interfere greatly with the progress of a team, and it is undoubtedly a plan of his to get the Washing- ton stoek concentrated in the handsof one man who can do as he pleases with his club.” PERHAPS THERE ARE TWO MEN. This stipulation of Mr. Day's that President Hewitt musi secure entire control of the Wash- ington club stock before he can have Ward isopen to still another interpretation than that given by Mr. Young. and that is that Mr. John B. Day is more interested in the Washington club than he is in base ball generally. The sale of Ward, the price paid and the stipulations, give grounds at least for a suspicion that an arrangement has been. or will be entered into, by which Day and Hewitt will have control of the Washington club next year, Twelve thou- sand dollars is a big sum, and Washington base- ballists are asking themselves to-day why it should not be represented by so much stock in the Washington club. Mr. Day knows John Ward thoroughly, He knows he can’t keep him in New York, and he knows better than anybody else what chances of success Ward would have as sole manager of a team. It is not improbable that he may want to still have an interest in Ward and be willing to take his $12,000, or part of it, in stock in that club, IF THIS SURMISE 18 CORRECT base ball in Washington could not have a brighter outlook. With John Ward as man- ager-captain and shortstop to handle the’ men, and John B. Day, one of the most powerful of the league magnates, to help build the club up, instead of cutting its throat, the Senators will have a chance of becoming a winning team. It has long been known that Mr. Hewitt was anxious to have a moneyed man associated with him, and this may prove the solution of the whole difticulty. It will require probably $5,000 or $6,000 to purchase amicably the interests of the other stockholders, On the other side, however, the club is indebted to the Hewitt estate $15,000 to 220,000, and this fact might be used to freeze out the smaller stockholders with little or nothing as their share. Such a a ag the latter would doubt- less lead to trouble if not litigation, for it is claimed that the prospective profit in Capital park, as a real estate venture, and the value of the Washington players reserved, in open mar- ket, would more than offset the indebtedness to the Hewitt estate. If, therefore, the inter- nal troubles which have threatened the club can be avoided, and the personal interest and financial backing of John B. Day secured, base ball will boom in Washington in the spring. ee Something Cheaper. From the Detroit Free Press, ‘There was a man at the Central market yes- terday showing off a new-fangled wagon-jack, anda colored man who was there with his horse and wagon seemed much pleased with it until he found the prize was a dollar. “Dat settles me,” he said, as he climbed into his vehicle. “But it’s worth the money,” persisted the agent. sites got a cheaper thing, sab.” “What is it?” “Why, my ole woman kin hold up de eand of dis wagon while I grease de axles, an’ it doan’ cost me a cent extra,” —————— First citizen—“I'm proud of my wife.

NOW HE 18 POOR AND IS SEEKING HIS DAUGHTER'S FORGIVENESS AND AID. A special to the New York World from Hunt- ington, Pa., November 24, says: Alexander R. Laird, once a prominent and wealthy lumber merchant of Kalamazoo, Mich., reached this city to-day foot-sore from tramping and clad in tatters. He is on his way to Steeleton, this state, where his daughter resides. Five years ago Laird was considered a millionaire prop- erty-owner, but a disastrous conflagration swept away his property, and by sueceeding misfortunes he was left penniless. The past three years he has been wandering aimlessly throngh the western sates, living on the charity of strangers, until infirmities of bods have forced him to seek for succor at the hands of his daughter, whom he had once banished from home and renounced forever. In 1834 his only child and daughter secretly married an em- ploye of her father named Albright, and when he news of the marriage had leaked out Laird, in a moment of passion, drove his daughter fron hie dour and refosed to bila any further intercourse with her, in spite of her appeals for forgiveness, The banished daughter and |her husband then moved to Steeleton, Pa., where Albright is still pursuing his trade. Now, since failure and misfortune have overtaken Laird, he has set his face toward his daughter's home, and hopes that in spite of his past un- friendliness his present needy condition will awaken in her a feeling of compassion. ‘The old man had walked from Johnstown, 60 miles dis- tant, since yestereay, and hopes to reach his daughter's before Thanksgiving. cor es Full of Business.
