Whether or not she | took the poison with suicidal intent is not known, except from her statement, which was to the effect that she took the laudanum be- cause she could not sleep, but had no idea of committing suicide. Sunday morning Mrs. Curry did not appear at the breakfast table as usual, and the other inmates of the house be- eame alarmed after repeated knocks at the door were not answered.

It was perhaps a good thing that the Presi- dent went down the river yesterday, and was thus unable to attend the game between the All-America and Chicago round-the-world teams. He told them that he liked tosee a good game, but he would have been sadly disap- pointed had he witnessed the game of yester- day. As it was, about 2,500 people, who had made the pilgrimage to Capitol Park with the expectation of seeing some good ball playing. were treated to as poor an exhibition as is usually presented by professional piayers. The score was 18 to 6, in favor of the Chicago team, ‘The game was won in the first inning, the Chi- cago men piling up 8 runs before they were re- tired. Crane and Earle, and Baldwin and An- son were the batteries. The people were gener- ally hopeful that Healy would pitch, in order to see the kind of man the Statesmen are going to have in the box this year. Ward evi- dently wanted to show the people here as little favor as possible and put Crane in the box, making evident mistake, for he pitched a lazy. ine nt game, and was very ineffective. Poth pitchers were very wild, sending man after man to bases on balls, Crane seven and Baldwin eight. Chicago batted hard and often, and their hits were well aided by the miserable fielding of their opponents, ‘There was a lack cf spirit noticeable throughout the game on the part of both teams. Anson's seemed to hit the ball simply because it was easy to do and they liked to sce it sail to the sk; They Tan bases because the air was cold and the wind keen, and some kind of exercise was necessary tokeep warm. Ryan and Burns were terrors at the bat, each making four hits, Ryan with a total of six bases and Burns five. Earle captivated the hearts of the crowd and pro- duced about the only enthusiasm by his work. He played ball every minute and hit the ball for three bags twice in succession. WARD'S RECEPTION, Ward was treated very fairly by the crowd. He was greeted with applause when he came to the bat, and he started out under good aus- pices. But his work was very poor in the fie and the spectators, believing that he was fair game, weleomed each of his three errors with derision. Before the game was over Ward was the laughing stock of the audience. He not only made three misplays, but threw so badly twice that errors were credited to Carroll, who layed first, and on two occasions displayed bad judgment in his work asa captain. The second basemen, Manning and Pfeffer, both did beantifully, their playin: ding with Earle’s in marked contrast to the rest of the exhibition, A brass band did what it could to enliven the oceasion, Chicago made 17 hits and 5 errors and All-America 7 hits and 7 errors. Other games—New York, 25, Princeton, 4; Brooklyn, 9, Newark, 0; Indiaaapolis, 7, St. Louis, 2; ‘Athletic, 16, Philadelphia, 7; Boston, 12, Baltimore, 8. John Ward says he considers Whitney one of the best pitchers in the league, and one reason why he (Ward) did not go to Washing- ton was because Whitney was released.—Ez- change. & very poor excuse, John,—Phila- deiphia Pri Yet when Walter Hewett saw Jobn Ward in New York the short-stop told him that he had by far the best of the Whitney- | Healy trade. = —— “THE GARDEN “BAZAR.” Brilliant Opening of the Old Guards’ | Entertainment—The Ladies in Charge. | The “Garden Bazar” of the Old Guard was | opened last night at the National Rifles’ armory | im the presence of an audience that crowded the sj Secretary Noble was ex- pected to deliver the opening address, but he sent a note excusing himself on account of a previous engagement to dine with the Chinese Pr The secretary's place was filled by Gen.

The Faulty Street-Car Tracks. ‘To the Editor of THe EVENING Stan: | Your article on the dreadful accident to Mrs. | Febiger laid stress on the dangers of smooth | asphalt pavements, but the reports of the affair | say the actual crash occurred at 1ith | street, where the street-car tracks make a long curve and are paved with granite blocks! This is by no means the worst car-track crossing in the city. The dangers incurred where streets fairly gridironed with rails, and the con- | stant damage to wheeled vehicles and to horses’ | hoofs in crossing them, shows that the Commis- | sioners oaght to use the power vested in them by Congress of enforcing the use of the best | rails and prop. ng by the car companies. | Such « tragedy as that of Sunday ought not to | be needed to confirm the lesson. THAVELER, _ The Philadelphia Club. The members of the Philadelphia club met “ iss night at Grand Army hall and adopted a constitution and by-laws. The club is com- posed of Philadelphians holding government offices in this city. The following officers were elected: Col Chas. Fair, president; A. P. Mars- ton, first vice-president; S. M.

To the Editor of Tux BveNixe Stan: It seems strange that such a disgraceful up- roar could happen inthe very heart of this city as that which occurred Sunday night at about 11:30 near the corner of 12th and [streets northwest and yet not attract the attention of efsingle member of the police force. A col- ored woman, who was evidently drunk, bawled out: “Murder!” “Murder!” ““Murder!” and uttered the most blasphemous oaths at the top of her voice—too obscene to r pan in print—and was heard three squares off by a citizen who afterward appeaten find some one murdered.

ABavon’s Oprrna Hovse.—The New Ameri- can Ope rer arather uneven ren- i] | Opera compan’ dering of ‘Faust last night before an audience which possibly might have been more respon- sive and less inclined to be coldly critical if they had paida higher admission fec. The attempt to give grand opera at reasonable prices seems somehow to excite the prejudice of a large sec- tion of theater-goers, who invariably watch | efforts of the kind with an ill-concealed hos- | tility that makes the work of the artists doubly | difficult. On the principle of the “boy about | town” who lives very high immediately after pay day and starves for the rest of the month, | these people eagerly pay fabulous prices to hear | one great singer, aided by a corps of preten- tious mediocrities: but for_a company contain- ing several really good artists, with the inevita- ble others who are not so good, they refuse to make any allowances at all. Washington audi- ences have inthe past frequently paid fancy prices for much less meritorious performances of “Faust” than that of last night. Of course, it, was easy to pick flaws in the work | of the chorus and of some of the principals. | So it always was with the big troupes Mapleson used to give us. Onthe other hand there was | much of great merit in last night's perform- | ance, Miss Natali’s Marguerite was conscien- tiously if somewhat heavily acted. She has @ true and pleasant voice of good range, and she used it with honesty and effectiveness without attempting any of those vocal pyrotechnics | with which only artists of the very first class are ever really successful, It is not easy to re- call a more thoroughly satisfactory Mephisto | than that of Vetta. He filled with power every scene in which he figured, and his clear, flexi- ble, and splendidly dramatic voice forced the audience out of its reserve, — Parti ularly moving was the scene with Marguerite at the opening of the third act. The part of Siebel was almost equally well taken by Miss Lisrio Macnichol, whose tany friends were delighted to hear again the rich. resonant tones of her fine coutralto, She layed the part with a modest reserve that | was artistic and delightful. Alonzo Stoddard’s Valentine was admirable in every way. His voice last night seemed clearer and stronger than ever before, and the death scene was in- tensely dramatic. Mr. Castle's Faust was less of a disappointment than might have been ex- pected, His appearance aroused many pleas- ant recollections in the minds of a large part of the audience. his evening ‘Maritana” will be sung. NatiovaL TueaTeR.—That very interesting lay, “Jim the Penman,” was well acted at the National theater last night by a company which includes among its members Joseph Whiting, J.

Mr. Lemuel Williams, the veteran under- taker of the West End, died yesterday in the eighty-fifth year of his age, at his residence, No. 1707 Pennsylvania avenue, a few blocks from the place of his birth. Mr. Williams was one of the few residents of the District who remembered the destruction of the capitol by the British in 1815, He was born at the corner of 20th and I streets northwest, where his father kept a country store. The deceased after attending the schools near his home learned the trade of cabinet making and under- taking with his eldest brother, James Williams, He was ten years old when the British invaded Washington and remembered well the exciting scenes about that time. He remembered well the erection of the Foundry M. E, church, of which he became a member over. sixty years ago, aud remembered when the First Baptist church was on the site of the Nineteenth-street Baptist church, at the corner of I street, long before its removal to 10th street, between E and F, the building now occupied by the sur- geon general's office. As early as 1825 the de- ceased was a member of the old Union Fire company, and was also for years a member of the band of the Washington guards, a military | organization commanded by the late Col. Seaton. Whena young man he was a good singer, and for many years led the choir of the Foundry church, Mr. Williams served a num- | ber of terms in the city councils. He always had the respect of those who knew him, As an undertaker he assisted at the obseqnics of President William Henry Harrison, quarterr C.

A case of alleged assault is being investigated by the police of the South Wash- ington police station. A white woman, named Cora Monroe, about forty years old is the victim. Her home is at No. 327 Maryland ave- nue southwest. She was found about 9 o'clock Saturday night with a severe cut across her head, weak from loss of blood. She was re- moved to Providence hospital, where she is now under treatment. It was stated on the street Saturday night that the woman had been struck with a stone by a colored man, but the man was not arrested. RICHARD CARROLL HER ASSAILANT. The police have learned that the woman was assaulted by Richard Carroll, the negro who was nearly killed Saturday night by being struck on the head with a stone thrown b; Harper Green, as published in yesterday's Sran. This is why Green assaulted Carroll, 80 the police say. As Carroll was unconscious when taken to the hospital, the police were unable to learn anything from him of the assault. ° This — the sisters at Providence hos- piss reported that the woman was still very ill. ‘arroll, who is at Freedman’s hospital, is improving, and the physicians think he will recover. pe Maretaoe Licexses.—Marriage licenses have been issued to Wm.
