The game of ball yesterday was proof that the Senatorial aggregation cannot play two games “‘in concussion,” as was expressed by an enthusiast on the grand rtand, Success rattles them, and winning one game is sure to Prove too much for them. So it was that Wednesday's victory was followed by yester- day's defeat. The home team played a misera- ble game in the field and lost to the Hoosiers by the score of 8to 3. The Senators outbatted their opponents, but failed to get in their hits when there were men on bases, while the visitors were extremely fortunhte in finding the ball just after some Senator made an error and given a man a base or two, The batterie: for the day were O'Day and Clarke and Getzein and Daily. Had O'Day been properly sup- ported he would heve won the game, but the men behind him persisted in going to pieces at Sone aor ee itching. and Irwin onl; men on the home team who could hit the ball, the former k up his wonderful record by making four hits, one for every time yr choad ‘t. Irwin made three out of four chances. ‘THE RUNS. The visitors scored one in the second inning. Sweeny, too ambitious, ran in front of Irwin and caused the captain to let Hine’s ball go through him, and Paul scored on sacrifices by Daily and Myers. Then in the third they scored three runs. Seery hit safely and Glass- cock’s drive was too hot for Irwin. O'Day fielded up Denny’s bunt in front of the plate, but in throwing it home struck Seerv on the back, and the ball rolled to the stand, both Seery and Glasscock scoring. Denny came home on a wild pitch and Hine's single. THIS WON THE GAME, for all the Senators could do was to score one in the fourth and two in the ninth, while the Hoosiers kept piling up the runs in the fifth and the sixth. In the ninth Irwin hit safely and went to second on a passed ball. Mack's clean single scored the runner. Then in the ninth Irwin and Mack again hit safely for a base each, went ahead on Sweeny’s sacrifice, and both scored on O'Day's single. Washington made 9 hitsand 7 errors and Indianapolis 6 hits and 1 error, OTHER Games. New York kept right on in her victorious career and defeated the League Infants by the score of 9tol. The batteries were Welch and Brown and Bakely and Snyder. The Giants made 10 hits and 3 errors and the Babes 6 hits and i error. iano annihilated Chicago, 9to2. Buf- fingtou and Clements and Dwyer and Farrell were the batteries. The Phillies made 14 hits and 1 error and the Ansonians 12 hits and 2 errors, The game at Boston was prevented by rain.

Increasing Interest in the Tennis Tourna- ment for the Championship. An interesting, not to say exciting, period has been arrived at in the District tennis tournament. The final games will probably be reached to-day, and on Saturday the de- cisive games will be played. There isa feeling of suppressed excitement among those most directly interested and some are willing to con- fess to sleepless, restiess nights. during which they are knocking imaginary balls around im- aginary courts and making strokes never be- fore attempted. ‘THE GAMES PLAYED YESTERDAY were quite upto the standard of excellence which has been maintained during the tourna- ment. Woodward finished his game with Byrnes. The day before Byrnes won a set, and yesterday two more were played which were clogely contested and developed some strong laying. Woodward finally won, the scores eing 4-6. 6-4, 7-5. In the doubles Throckmorton and Traill beat Borden and Lewis. 6-1, 8-6. In the second rouud Wooten and —seey beat Peter and Peter, 1-6. 6-4. 6-2. Willoughby and Willoughby beat Britton and Parks, 5-7, 6-2, 6-3. McCawle: and Woodward beat Throckmorton and Traili, 6-0, 6-2. In the third round McCawley and Woodward beat Willougbly and Willoughby, 6-2, 6-2. Boaz and Byrnes will probably play McCaw- ley and Woodward ia the finals, THE MOST INTERESTING TENNIS CONTEST SEEN HERE. The tournament is pronounced by those who have attended to have been the most interest- ing ever witnessed here. It is not claimed that it has been the most scientific. There has been, however, a good deal of first-class ten- | nis played, and the series of games has brought | ont some new players and demonstrated that there ure tennis men in this city who play | more than the ordinary game. The steady pro- | gress which the game has made here 1s shown not only by the character of hed ye but by the number of players who entered the lists, —_——_—_— KILRAIN WAS A SICK MAN. So Says a Washington Pugilist Who Saw the Great Mill. Among the Washington sports present at the ring side to witaess the great mill in Mississippi was Billy McMillan, the well-known English Tugilist. He dropped into Tar Stan office to- day and in reply to the question by @ reporter, “What did you think of the fight?” replied: “Taken all in all it was a good one, although Kilrain was a sick man when he went into the ring. I think his staying powers were remark- able under the circumstances and have little doubt but that he would have bested his man had he been fit. KILRAIN’S DO DGING TACTICS EXOUSED, “How about the running around the ring? Did Kilrain do all they gave him credit for?” ‘Not a bit of it. He stood his punishment like a man. Of course he would drop now and then to avoid punishment, and spar for wind and position. but he didn’t run away because he was afraid of Sullivan. Iwasin Kilrain's corner and held an umbrella over him. He had his man licked several times before the twen- tieth round. It was the terrific punch Sullivan gave Kilrain in the heart that did the business, | and had he not delivered it when he did the result might have been different.

Virginia Maggott and her two daughters re- side at No, 70 M street southwest in this city. Under her maiden name of Jenny Anderson and her officially-enrolled name, “Janney”, An- derson, she had a somewhat checkered career, having been in her early life a slave on a plan- tation, then a hospital cook, hospital nurse, and a “first-class boy” in the navy. Afterward she appeared in the role of a wife, and she is now a widow and is asking from the govern- ment a pension on account of the effects of yellow fever contracted at Pensacola, Florida, while she was in the government service, and for back pay for her services as hospital cook. Her claims are in the hands of » well-known agent, who will file her pension claim in a few days, backed up with the army aad navy roils, besides: ~ nsenee of reputable people re- in this city, A ean reporter wale XA her house a few days SEO, and, asking to see her, wasconducted through & little shop to a room serving both as kitcheu and sitting room, and there found the ex-slave, ex-cook, ex-nurse, ex: boy, and ex-married woman. The reporter asked if it was true that she had served in the war as a ‘first-class boy,” and she replied: “I was so rated, but I didn’t wear the pants; Tal- ways like girls and women. ON THE OLD PLANTATION. Asked to tell her story she did so without hesitation, She said: ‘] was a slave of Mr. J. B. Henderson, at Diamond Bend, Miss., about 300 miles from New Orleans, when the war came on. I was then about sixteen years old and lived like the other slaves, but was mostly employed about the house. and particularly in kitchen work. They couldn't keep it from us that the war was on, and we heard that the Yankee gunboats were in the river. I made up my mind to get away if I ever gota chance, and finally did so. “‘How did you manage it?” asked the reporter “You see,” she said. “there was a tesh [freshet] in the river. The water was up and there was more or less commotion among the people living along the river. Well, I took vantage of the fesh.”” FLOATING DOWN THE: RIVER IN A BOX. “You had a boat?” queried the reporter. “No, sir,” was the answer, “there was no boat. I floated down the Mississippi in a plaster box. I waited till after dark, and about 10 o'clock on the night of June 4, and it | } was a very dark night. I shoved out into tho fesh and was carried away from the old plan- tation. You want to know what kind of box it was? You see that door (pointing to one abont 6 feet by 3); it was just about that long and wide, and about so deep (extending her hands about 2 feet apart), I wasn’t caring much about clothes and hud on only one piece, made of Lowell cloth. While I was floating down on the fesh I was. PICKED UP BY THE GUNBOAT Haitaska, No. 7, and on her taken to Pilottown. There was a naval hospital there in charge of Dr. Philip Wales, who lives in this city, Dr. Burbank was there also, I went into the kitchen June 10 to help to cook, and I worked faithfully there, both as cook and nurse, till December 10, when I was sent to Pensacola, Drs, Gibbs and Turner were at the hospital then andI served right on, and in July and August, 1863, had a spell of the yellow fever. Before this the doctors had some talk about my pay, saying that it was a shame that I was working so faithfully for nothing, having been kept at work from June 10, 1861, to June 14, 1863. They had a talk with Capt. Gibson of the U.S.8. Potomac about it, and he said that he would ship me. I was examined and passed by Dr. Turner, and my name ENROLLED AS A FIRST-CLASS BOT of that ship. I, however, continued in my du- ties as cook and nurse at the hospital under Dr. Turner, and as Iwas about being merried to Mr. Maggott I was discharged from the navy as a boy. I remained at Pensacola till the close of the war,when I came north with Major Shettleworth and family and lived with them several months, and then we went to Norfolk, where we lived eighteen years. My husband died there about eleven y ago, and asI wanted my two girls to have a chance to get an educetion I came to this city December 21, 1866, and lived here since.” She claims a pension on account of ill health, and it is understood that a claim will be filed for pay as hospital nurse from June 10, 1861, to June 16, 1863, when she was mustered into the naval service as a boy. ———_-___ HONORING THE RECTOR. Rev. Dr. Buck’s Fifty Years of Faith- ful Service in the Ministry Celebrated. There was a large gathering of the clergy and laity of the Protestant Episcopal church yesterday at the venerable church of St. Paul, Rock creek parish. The occasion which brought them together was the celebration of fitty | Years of service in the ministry, which has | just been completed by the rector, Rey. Dr. Buck. His brethren in the ministry, as well | as the laity, sought to do honor to the man by making this occasion a festival. During the thirty-seven years that Rev. Dr. Buck has been rector of the parish he has made many ac- quaintances and has a large circle of personal friends, especially among the older resident families of the District. Yesterday the gather- ing which filled the picturesque old church was @ tribute to a life of faithful and unselfish de- Votion. Divine service was held at 10:30and the sermon was delivered by Rev. Dr. Nelson, the dean of the Washington convention,’ who graduated from the Virginia Theological semi- nary inthe same class with Rev. Dr. Buck. After service a reception was held in the rec- tory. Dr. Buck was assisted in receiving by Miss Libbie Buck, Miss Buck, Miss Snively, Miss Delaplune, Mrs, Marchants, Mra, Morgan and others. After a collation speeches were made by Dr. Packard of the Virginia Theologi- cal seminary, who was. a profesor there when Dr. Buck was graduated; Dr. Brand of Harford county, Md.; br. Grammar of Baltimore, and Rey. Mr. Mott, assistant rector of the parish. {nthe evening the band of the Soldiers’ home, where Dr. Buck is the chaplain, gave him a serenade, pease Nee Serve All Alike. To the Editor of Tue Eventno Star : Knowing that your paper is steadily growing in popularity, and always disposed to be just and fair to all classes, I trust you will publish the following facts: On June 23d, between the hours of 6 and 8 p.m., in bright day- light, this same pond was crowded within and its shores lined with Caucassian boys (white, so-called) enjoying the boyish sport of a naked swim, and this in full view of the hun- dreds of ladies and gentlemen who were going and coming on the **Eckington electric cars, These boys were left in the full enjoy- ment of their sport, unmolested by the police, But on July 10 these unfortunate colored boys, who thought they were entitled to the same privileges, were pounced down upon by the ever-alert police and carricd to the station, and thence to the Police Court and fined $2 each for attempting to follow the example set by their more favored white brethren. ‘Let justice be done, tho’ tue heavens fall.” AN OnsERvER. after the latter was down.

It is alleged that the four wholesale houses— Armour & Co., Swift, Varneli and Morris— have combined with a view to break up some of the local dealers by refusing to supply them with beef, excepting at exhorbitant rates. It is said that some of the egents or managers of the wholesale houses were bidders for farnish- ing meats to the St. Elizabeth's asylum for the insane and to the §pldiers’ home. Mr. C. C. Carroll obtained the contract for the Soldier’s home, but before the bids were opened word was sent to him that he would not be permitted to get meat to fill the contract, Subsequently he found that it was no idle threat, and he has only been able by the aid of friends in the trade to obtain a supply to meet the requisitions upon him. Mr. W. i. Hoover, who is supposed to be connected with Mr. Car- roll, is also one of the proscribed butchers, ANOTHER CASE. For the insane asylum Santas Auth was the successful bidder, and he calculated that the contract would yield him from $1,000 to $1,500 for the year, but he, like Mr. Carroll, has met with some difficulty in getting meat, and has only succeeded, he states, through the secret aid of friends. Last Monday, it is alleged. the wholesale dealers asked ‘him $8 per hundred for wholé carcases, which were sold the same day to other parties supposed to have no sym- pathy with the contractors at $3 per hundred. Again, on Wednesday he was asked $6 per bun- dred tor meat utterwards sold at $4.00 per hun- dred. Wednesday at the house of Nelson Morris & Co. a party purchused several car- cases, but subsequently the firm became sus- Picious as to what the buyer intended to do ‘with the meat and finally offered to pay hima bonus to annul the sale. ‘Tbe buyer refused to give any explanation and demanded the deliv- ery of the meat, and that demand not being complied with it is likely acivil suit will fol- low. THE WHOLESALE MEN'S SIDE OF THE CASE, It is but just to state that Mr. Armour and Mr. Morris, who have been written to on the subject, each replied that the action complained of was not authorized by them, Mr. Scannell of Armour & Co. was seen by a Srak reporter, He said: ‘There is no truth in | any of the cnarges and you may deny them in| the strongest terms. We have our customers | and treat them all alike, but there are some | people in business we do not sell to, nor do we want to do so, It will be time enough for us to speak if they go into the couris, as it is stated they will do.” dir. T. O. Varnell of J. T, Varnell & Sons in- dorsed the remarks of Mr. Scannell, saying that it will be time enough to reply to any asper- sions on the wholesale dealers when charges are formulated, At the house of G. F. Swift the manager, Mr. Leyman, was found to be absent from the city. | Some of the empioyes of the house when told of the allegations made said: “What it the wholesale houses did bid for government con- tracts? They have the same right as others, There is no truth in the statement that the con- tractors cannot get becf. Any one can buy beef | who has the wherewith. You can say that this | house makes no discrimination, Our business 1s to sell, and in doing so we treat all alike. As for the charge of conspiracy, let them prove it. hey can't do it,” Mr. J. A. Hoffman, in the absence of Manager Hillman of Neison, Morris & Co., declined to be interviewed, inasmuch as he may be called on to give testimony. THE CASE WILL NOT GO BEFORE THE PRESENT | GRAND JURY. | ‘The complaints of the local dealers have been placed in the hands of Assistant District Attor- | ney Coyle, who hus examined several witnesses, | but as the Criminal Court will adjourn and the | grand jury will be discharged finally to-morrow the subject will not be presented to the present grand jury. ae Three Months on the Farm.
