The Senators Do Some Hard Batting and Defeat Newark’s Champions. ‘Tne Sran's announcement yesterday after- noon that President Hewitt had secured the services of Manager Morrill and that the latter would be on hand on Friday, was the first inti- mation of the good news, and the story soon spread among the eight hundred people who filed through the turustile at Capitol Park to witness the game with the Newark team. Uni- versal satisfaction reigned. and a broad smile formed one of the features of the landscape. The contest was a close one for an exhibition game, and it was not until, in the “lucky sev- enth,” the home team began to bat a little, that the spectators felt at all sure who would win. The score was 7 to 2 in of the Senators. O'Day — and and Keefe and Ebright were the ies for Washington, and Miller and Sulii- | van for Ne The home team played with vim that is seldom seen here, the only error charged being one by Mack that ed ball as anything else. It from the start, each team iternate inning. The home could ‘not hit Miller at first with any general effect, but were fortunate in get- ting two bunches of hits that yielded runs. ‘The game was won in the seventh, when Keefe a snap and led off w tch hit in front of the place. who hag not been doing any bat- ting. then made th® prettiest hit possible, a hard, low drive that went into the cor- ner by the club-house and was stopped bythe fence. Hoy ran like a deer hed home base with time to spare, amid great applause. Wilmot then tried his hand, and the ball he hit struck the right field fence fect of the top. Walter reached third, and scored on Myers’ rattling three bagger to the right center after Carney had been put out at first. O'Brien lifted a hard high fly that dropped into the center fielders’ hands within a few yards of the fence while Myers came home. “Sweeney popped out. The feature of the game was a beautiful double play by Hoy and Ebright. McDermott was on third with one out and Smith lifted a high fly to center. Hoy took it in usual manner and instantly returned it to Ebright. who caught the balla few feet to the east of home and touched the runner quick as light- ning. Washington made 11 hits and1 error, to 10 hits and 4 errors. O'Day gave 2 bases on balls in 5 iunings and Keefe 1 in 4 innings; and Mil- ler 4 in the whole game.. OTHER GAMES.

Von Der Ahe has signed Chamberlin, Robin- son and MecCartny. Sweeney played a good game yesterday, with four assists and no errors, one hit and a steal. He made a beautiful stop of a ball that went by O'Brien, but could not recover himself in time to get the ruuuer out. Carney held his own, making two hits and a sacrifice out of four chances at the bat, —_—_.—_-_ DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

B. Curry on the 1ith of Feb- ruary last was too severe and entirely unwar- ranted by the alleged offense of the child, and not justified by any rule of the board. The lo- cal committee does not find any mitigating cir- cumstances which in any manner justifies the whipping of this small child, now in the third grade, three times consecutively, and is of the opinion that the action of the teacher deserves the severest condemnation of the board. In view of the power lodged with the teachers to suspend from the school any pupil, and thus compel parental co-operation to maintain good discipline, and to secure proper and full prom- ise of future good conduct and ample apology for past misbehavior on the part of the pupil, | the local committee is of the opinion _that no teacher should be permitted to inflict such severe punisiment upon a pupil as. afr.

This was due in part to the condi- tion of a large portion of the race. He did not think asa mass they maintained the same de- gree of home discipline as was maintained among the white people. The number of cases of corporal punishment was decreasing as the colored people advanced. The report made by Mr. Cornish, with the | censure it contained, was adopted, the board | deciding to take no further action on account of Mr. Nalle’s previous good record, A HOLIDAY FOR COLORED PUPILS, A letter was read from Chas. H. Marshall, president, and W. H. Jordan, secretary, of the emancipation day committee, asking that the colored schools be closed on the 16th inst., the anniversary of emancipation day. The request was grant et C. Lasier was promoted as a teacher from the second to the fourth class, to take effect from the Ist inst.,and Miss Flora M. Allen was appointed a substitute teacher. It was decided to hold an examination of ap- Plicants for teacberships May 17 and 18. The board ordered that the schools be closed on the 30th inst., the Washington centennial day, The reports of the superintendents for March showed the whole number of pupils en- rolied to have been 30,693, of whom 20,182 were white and 10,516 colored. The average daily attendance was 26,686. There were ten eases of corporal punishment reported, of which eight were in the colored schools, —_ The Single Tax Idea.

Mr. Jno.

Yesterday a paper was filed by | Messrs. A. A. Birney and A. 8. Worthington, on behalf of W. H. Hoover and 14 others, ob- jecting to the alleged will being admitted to probate, In this paper the caveators state that the de- ceased left a personal estate of about £50.000, principally in notes, bonds, and mortgages, and it is necessary that this estate shall not go to waste. They therefore ask that a collector be appointed ‘to take charge of the estate. They deny that the paper presented is the last will and testament; assert that at the time of its l execution the testator was not of sound and | disposing mind, capable of making a valid deed | or contract, and if executed at all it was under | the influence, importunities, and suggestions of said Eichorn and others, and was procured by fraud, deception, and artifice.
