Players and Public Impatiently Walt- ing for Good Weather. THE WARD AND MORRILL DEALS—WHAT I8 AND WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN—WASN’T PRESIDENT HEWETT RIGHT IN RELEASING DAILY AND WID- NER ?—GAMES YESTERDAY, Raining, muddy, cloudy, and the season only four playing days off. The situation is truly exasperating, and the enthusiasts about town are beginning to growl just as hard as though they were demanding the release of a player instead of waiting with but poor patience for & chance to see the new men play. Wise has come to terms and has agreed to sign a contract, accepting the sum of 2,000 for the season’s work. This was the figure at which he was classified, and he un- doubtedly thought that he might better bow to the inevitable and take what he could get than play ball on the hard side of a bench this year. Walter Hewett has shown considerable gener- osity ‘in his operations this spring and winter, but he has also proved to the outside ywatchers the fact that there is a point where generosity ceases to be a virtue. As itishe has done marvellously well. THE TWO DEALS. The services of John Ward would have undoubtedly cost him, counting his release y and his salary together, fully $17,000, which is an awfully big sum of money to pay out forone man. He paid, say $5,000 for the release of Morrill and Wise, $4,000 for Morrill’s $2,000 for those of Wise, a total consideration of 311,000 for twomen. The bal- ance between the two operations is striking. Hewett saves $6,000 in moncy, gets a man whom the highest authorities rate as fully equal to Ward, both as » player and a manager, be- sides another man whose all-around abilities are first-class, In short, Hewett is fully $7,500 ahead, He has received a telegram from Healy at Pittsburg stating that he would accept the offer made him on Monday while the clubs were here. This practically settles the matter, and his signed contract may be expected in a very few days, GooD RIDDANcE. By the way, Hewett’s wisdom, which has sometimes been seriously questioned for re- leasing Daily and Widner from the team, has been amply proved by 2 dispatch from Balti- more stating that the manager of the Columbus club yesterday fined both Daily, Widner, and 00 apiece for being out all night ig bout. Although the club ar- evening these three men did not report until Tuesday morning. It is now very evident why Mr. Hewett let the pitcher and right fielder go. In fact, his friends have known his reasons for the action ever since it was consummated, but little has been said about it thus far. Daily was a good plaver, and probably is still, and although he ac convivialism to a large degree hewas seldom, if ever, incapacitated thereby for ball playing. But the great evil came from his influence among certain other members of the team whose natures could not present the same un- disturbed front under the same conditions, In other words he was directly a demoralizing agent, and Mr. Hewett knew it well. GAMES YESTERDAY. Chicago won yesterday, the score being 7 to 4. Ofcourse there are folks just ill-natured enough to say something mean about this see- reputation as an excellent base-ball man, a bus- iness man. and a manager. It was Crane's turn in the box, with le behind him, pitted against Baldwin and Anson, The result was 11 hits by Chicago, and 7 by Ward’s men, All- America made 6 errors against 4 by their op- ponent: Pittsburg defeated Toronto by the score of 7 to 1, and Indianapolis took a game from Tole- do, 11 to7.

SANITARY E It was “sanitary engineering day” last night at the Columbian university, and in spite of the bad weather an attentive audience had gath- eredaround Prof. Fava to hear his ideas about “a house built upon correct sanitary princi- ples.” Prof. Fava took up at once the subject at the point he had stopped in the previous lec- ture, and drew a comparison between two houses represented by their sections on a very large scale, the one containing defective ar- ramgements, the other with these defects cor- rected, ‘Lhe location of a water closet in the center of a house is a great nuisance, because it allows any gases produced or coming into that space from any of the numerous causes possible to spread freely into the dwelling. Therefore the proper location should be against an outer wall of the building. There is no rea- son whatever for not doing this, he held, in private houses, In very large buildings, of course, it will be almost unavoidable to have so-called air-shafts, the air of which is not de- sirable, but which are better than no ventila- tion at all, as happens often, A similar danger is constituted by soi nding inside faulty con- urring in those pipes creates an nection 0c all rooms of the building. The same must not supply the water-closet er for drinking and washing; for any foul gases that may arise from the water- closet into that pine will be absorbed by the water in :he tank and taben in by the consumer of the water. THE WASTE-PIPES of basins, sinks of all denominations, wash- tubs, &c., must be held entirely separated from the water-closet soil pipes; for, he said, by far the more dangerous geses are inclosed in the former, and therefore it has to be as much isolated, and given as few openings into the building, a8 possible. The connection of the waste-pipes with the sewer can then be made as indirect as possible by interposing cisterns, the overilows of which, however, must not open into the sewer, because then the sewer air may again play in all the pipes, but, in turn, “disconnected” by a very simple arrange- ment. ‘TRAPPED WATER-PIPES, Of course, all waste-pipes must be trapped and properly ventilated; those that are not so are faulty, because they are an open channel between sewer and rooms; so are all tanks, cis- terns. ‘cesspools, underneath or inside of the building. great faults, because foul gases straight into the house, and so are drains un- derneath the floors great dangers, because either through bad workmanship or through the set- tling of the building, or the work of rats, or the junctions are likely to become defective, and then again a free escape for the gases is provided, ‘The second portion of Prof. Fava’s lecture will be published in Saturday's Star, ——— Crushed Strawberries.

The Washington Safe Deposit Company Building. to Erect a New Fire-Proof The Washington safe deposit company at its meeting yesterday evening voted to increase the stock of the company to an extent of $60,000 (making total capital $120,000), said in- crease to be applied to payment for ground next to presgnt building and erecting thereon an additional bufding for purposes of storage, also for equipping vaults and erecting a new ‘silver vault, THE NEW BUILDING will be a duplication of the present building | located on Pennsylvania avenue, between Sth | and 10th streets, so far at least as the size is | concerned. It will be built in the same sub- stantial manner, and the style of architecture gives the appearance of solidity and security, which is the characteristic feature of an insti- tution of this character. The present main en- trance will remain, and in the enlarged space of the first floor will be provided commodious quarters for the owners of boxes, where they may examine their papers in privacy. A new feature of such an institution will be rooms where bank directors, officers of associations, committees and other bodies may meet and transact business. In addition to the large vaults already built, there will be in the new addition A LARGE SILVER VAULT, erected for the storage of household silver, &c. In the upper stories there will be thirty-nine fire-proof rooms, which will be leased to those who may wish commodious storage accommo- dations. These rooms will be rented in the me way as the boxes, the keys being held by those renting the rooms. The upper. floors of the present building will be devoted more exclusively for the purposes of storage of furniture and large articles, In the tower, which is at the west end of the building, there will be an elevator which has no connection with the first floor. i iron doors, on a level with the street, open into the elevator-shaft, and goods can be conveyed directly to the proper place in the upper floors, ‘The interior walls of the first floor, with its lofty ceiling, will be faced with an English glazed brick, which will not only be ornamental, but will add to the perfect fire-proof character of the entire building. The large increase in the business of the company has made _neces- sary this extensive addition to their facilities, OTHER NEW BUILDINGS. This improvement willbe made vt once and will be followed by improvements in the adja- cent lots which will add very much to the ap- earance of that side of Pennsylvania avenue. r. John T.

Heretofore there has been no suitable room for the preservation and display of this rare collection, Mr. Frank Riggs has generously come to the rescue and donated the amount necessary to fit up a room in the new building for that’ purpose. There will be about 100 tons of ornamental castings, 20 tons of wrought iron, and 4,000 square feet of slate used in the construction of the library.

During the past few days quite a number of sales of real estate have been made in this vi- cinity, the most important being the sale by Mr. Cooke D. Luckett of the large four-story brick hotel in the west end of this town, and eight acres of land attached, to Mrs. Mary J. Colley and Mr. Chas. W. Bell, of Washington, for $8,000. The building is as yet now com- pleted, and the purchasers intend to have it finished. at a cost of $4.000, for the reception of boarders during the month of June.
