So I saturated a thick piece of flannel with coal oil (not enough to soil the carpet or floor) and rubbed him down twice a day or so. It was not long before the fleas fled and the flies flew and he became sleek and nice looking again, while before he was a miserable looking from the worry of the pests. In regard to my individual experience, once in a while flea would make a mistake and attack me, but would soon discover I was his sworn enemy.

Allow me, through your columns, to correct & great error under the heading of ‘Real Estate Gossip” in Saturday night’s Stan, $d instant, where it stated 92 per cent of the tax-payers Were satisfied with the new assessment. This is not true. Nine-tenths of the tax-payers know nothing about a ‘Board of equalization,” where to go or anything about it until they come to pay their taxes. They should be in- formed of it in some way; then they would see the appeals come in. The per cent on two-thirds the full valus- tion would suit most everyone. People would be more honest in their valuations and the government would get more in the end. When the ground and improvements are as. sessed separately there will al be trouble. i house that rents for $35 per month is assessed for less than a six-room house that rents for $20 per month in many cases.

Soldiers From the Capital City Utterly Routed—Other Battles. Alas! for the vanity of human calculations! Woe unto him who figureth upon base ball per- centages and looketh into the future to proph- esy the score! For, lo! the Pittsburg club did take unto itself a lively and decided spurt on yesterday, and the men of Senateville lie be- neath the chariot wheels of the Pittsvillians, The figures on the wall were large and terrify- ing and were 12 and 6. The men from the City of the House of Talk were generaled by one Haddock and a certain Daly by name, over and against Leaders Morris and Carroll, The men of the Town in the Hills were exceeding glad over the joy of the play, and did use their weapons of wood with lo! victorious strength, while the enemy were fearful and timid, and fell like sheep before the fire of destructiveness, He of the name of Mack—of the family of Maccabeens—was soldier of the left, and did wondrous work with his weapon, smiting the missile three times exceeding hard. The Hillites struck terror to the hearts of the foe in the inmng called sixth, and by good and hearty smiting did record for themselves the sum of five large scores, which same were the last made and did win the con- test. The soldiers of the Town of the Talk House did make unto themselves the sum of 7 hits and 3 mistakes, and their enemies 14 hits and4of the mistakes. The people from the region round about pared on the spot in exceeding great numbers, even unto nine bun- dred. OTHER BATTLES, There were other battles waged on that day. The men of Gotham fell beneath the prowess of the men from the home of The Chief Ruler, the figures being 14 and 4. Men Boyle and Buckley and Welch, Brown and Ewing were the leaders in the fight. The soidiers from the Town of Much Wealth secured the record of 8 hits and 4 mistakes, andthe men from the Land of Presidents 19 hits and 2 mistakes. ‘The fighters of the City of Brotherly Love were victorious over the race of men called Infants. Ten and 7 were the records. The leaders were Buftinton and Gleason and O’Brien, Zimmer and Suyder. The mighty Infants did make 11 hits 0 mistakes, and the men trom the Town of Penn 15 hits and 3 mistakes, BATTLES IN THE ASSOCIATION.

Daly had an off day also—he has two passed balls charged against him, Mack made three singles, Daly a two-bagger pay paecek Arthur Irwin and Carney a single each. The base stealing was all on one side, five Pittsburgers succeeding in purloiuing, while Senatoi ere afraid to run. The other side earned seven of their twelve runs, . Alonzo Knight has been appointed a league umpire. Rowe played a poor game at short, but made two singles and a triple hit, and White secured two singles anda double. The war horses are looking w Glasscock fattened his record yesterday. making 5 hits out of 6 chances, one being a double and one a triple. The Boston team is all torn up over a criti- cism of the club wired to Manager Hart by one of the directors, It is reported that Hart has forwarded his resignation. It is stated on good authority, however, that the dispatch which caused the trouble was a forgery. Cleveland people claim that Lynch stole yes- terday’s game from the Infants. At this ‘dis- tance it looks as if the real cause lay in the 8 earned runs of the Phillies, Ferson will undoubtedly pitch today, and obably against Sowder:, Both Clements and Zimmer were quite badly hurt in yesterday's game, and may not be able to play for some time. nless some big drop comes soon there is not one of the four clubs in the first division of the league race that may not hope, with good cause, to get the pennant. There is no certainty whatever about the result, although it looks now as though the final list will not stand much different from this: New York, Boston, ‘aewors wane Cyicago, Cleveland, In- dianapolis, Pittsburg, and Washington, The last two may change places, however. — Trouble at Salvation Army Hall. in the Police Court this morning Henry L, Hawkins was charged with disorderly conduct ‘Tuesday night in front of 306 6th street, Salva- tion Army hall. It was testified that Hawkins was in front of the hall acting in a disorderly manner, and that he went up stairs taking off his coat and offering to whip any man who said aught against the Salvation Army. The de- fendant testified that there were a number of young loafers in frontof the building, some of whom pulled his coat tailand he spoke to them, and he endeavored to preserve order and get the boys to desist from any disturbance. ‘The court imposed a fine of $5. omnes zion Not Champagne but Old Rye.

A Body of Wheelmen From Washington | ‘Tz Barvox Numsxon—There was « long} We Pomr Wirz Pane Cordially Received. Promptly at 8 o'clock last night Takoma Park was invaded by a hundred blinking lanterns, a hundred jangling bells, scores of tooting whis- tles, pushed steadily forward by » hundred strong-limbed wheelmen, the members of the D. C. division of the L, A. W. They had started fifty-five minutes before from Iowa circle, headed by Chief Consul Atwater and Treasurer Stearns on a tandem safety bicycle. Their route lay out 14th street road to Whitney avenue and thence to 7th street road to Takoma, the run being made without the least accident or trouble, the line being kept in perfect shape, 80 that they presented a formidable phalanx as they swooped down on the park their whistles and their bells 1g a RECEIVED WITH HONORS. They were received with honors by the citi- zens of Takoma, who, having received word of their intended run, had made preparations for their entertainment. They were first escorted to the hail in the Union chapel, a new and un- finished edifice that the people of Takoma are building. Here the “common council” and the mayor were assembled, and a speech of wel- come was made to the invaders by C! H. Warner of the council, who, armed with a gavel of tin and bird shot, kept order in the as- semblage, aided by the chief of police, whose identity was concealed by an enormous badge, and who carried s baton six feet long. THE MAYOR'S ADDRESS. Mayor Heston made an address in which he presented the freedom of the city to Chief Consul Atwater, the token being a flask of soil and a watch key, to signify the keys of the city. Mr. Atwater was greatly surprised at this honor, but found words to express his gratitude at being at last the owner of some Takoma real estate. a] wit THE PARK MILITIA, On motion of Alderman Purcell the Takoma militia force was ofganized for the defense of the park, under the command of Gen. Kniffin. Several dozen major and brigadier generals were elected, another dozen colonels, and any number of majors. Consul Atwater was made a colonel and every wheelman present a major. A committee was appointed to devise ways and means to fill the ranks with privates, and after the reading of an original poem by Alderman Yeatman the wheelmen were carried off to a lunch of ice cream and cake. They left for home at about 11 o'clock, singing the praises of Takoma and bearing in their ears the hearty invitation of Mr. Warner to make the park their objective point on their run next month, pemitemensrs areal Quick Time To ATLANTIC ToMORROW BY THE PENNSYLVANIA RalLRoap SPEcIAL.—A fine crowd of peopl ill be gathered at Baltimore and Potomac station tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock.

The capture in Baltimore of Joseph Hayes} colored, and his return to his old quarters in the county jail at this place, brings to bay a grand rascal and desperate thief. Hayes had been in jail here for a murderous assault upon Conductor George Fisher, who had overhauled him while stealing from a railroad car, On July 6, in company with two white burglars, he made his escape from jail by assaulting the turn-key with aclub improvised from an old chair. One of the white men was recaptured at ‘ag ;_ bonds or-workhouse. or fifteen days. Wm, the time, while Hayes and one of his compan- | ions made their escape, Hayes finally coming to grief a day or two ago in Baltimore. now in safe quarters, being confined in an iron cage and a watch placed over him, Hayes is wanted in numerous other places, including Washington where he stands indicted upon the charge of burglary of silverware and other val- uables from private dwellings. and also upon the charge of attempted murder by cutting a "3 stomach open with a razor and the shoot- ing of a policeman. He is a bright mulatto, about thirty years of age and a keen-looking chap. His trial will come on here at the No- vember term of cqurt, and it is more than likely it will be some years before the Washington authorities willhave the pleasuro of muaking him answer fof his misdeeds in that city. ‘The county commissioners yesterday awarded the contract to M. L. Peck for the erection of a suspension bridge over Licking creek, in the Hancock district of this county. The bridge at this poimt was carried away during the late flood. European tourists from this section are be- ginning to return home. Mr. D. W. Doul, a member of the bar of this county, who accom- anied Mr. Calvin Witmer of Washington to urope, returned yesterday, as did also Mr. Joseph Williams. The surrounding mountains promise the largest crop of chestnuts known for years. The trees are literally covered with them and the mountaineers anticipate a rich harvest. The site for the proposed monument to the memory of Gen. Reno who fell at the battle of South Mountain been selected. The round, forty feet square, was purchased of r. James Gross. It lies along the old Sharps- burg road, in this county, of which there is an extended view as well as of Frederick county. ‘The monament is four feet square at the base and eight feet high and will be dedicated on the 14th day of September—the twenty-seventh anniversary of the battle—at which time there will also be @ re-union of the survivors of the ninth corps. While the orator for the occa- sion has not as yet been selected, it is believed that it will be either Gen. Cox of Ohio or ex- President R. B. Hayes, As an evidence that there is plenty of money in this community seeking investment it may be mentioned that on Tuesday forty shares of the capital steck of the First national bank of this city was sold at public sale for $21.05 per share, the par value being #10 per share. The storms and rains of July had no blight- ing effect upon the marriage market of this county. During the month the clerk of the court issued thirty-six licenses to parties who wished to join as one, Washington county has its share of railroad securities. Its assets in bonds of thischaracter amounts to the snug sum of $609,000, The Standard oil company has purchased of A.B. Almony a lot of ground fronting 240 feet on Walnut street, this CR and adjoining the tracks of the Shenandoah Valley and the Cumber- land Valley railroads, upon which it proposes to erect large buildings to be used in the prose- cution of their business, making Hagerstown a southern pre point, M d Mrs. W.

The Robbers on the Denver and Rio Grande were Ready to Use Dynamite. A Denver special to the New York Herald says: Further particulars from the scene of: the train robbery on the Denver and Rio Grande railroad, between Thompson's Springs and Crescent, Utah, last Tuesday evening indicate that the scheme of the highwaymen was one of the most desperate ever conceived, and ad it not been for a trifling incident a wholessle murder would undoubtedly have been com mitted. The story of Express Messenger Willis, given to General Manager G. W. Kramer of the Den- ver and Rio Grande express company, is to the effect that the robbers were armed with no less than a half dozen dynamite cartridges, with which it was their intention and threat to blow ‘up the train unless the company's safes, which contained a large sum of money and other valuables, were opened for them. A COUNCIL OF THIEVES. When the outlaws learned that they could not effect an entrance to the car a consultation was held. Three of them were for using dyna- mite and argued that the original plan of blow- ing up the train be carried out to the letter un- less the express messenger should surrender the company’s property; but the fourth, who appeared to be the leader and spokesman, ob- jected, and his objection prevailed when he ointed to a locomotive headlight plainly visi- le a short distance ahead of them. It was the east bound express on the side track at Crescent waiting for the besieged train to pass. It should have passed the west bound train at Thompson's Springs some twenty min- utes previously, but being delayed was ordered to lie at the Crescent siding, two miles beyond where the robbery occurred. SAVED BY A HEADLIGHT. It was this little incident, together with the warning of the fireman'who was standing by, that unless they accomplished their work soon the cast bound train would be apt to come down to see what was up, as well as the advice of their leader, which caused them to abandon their plan. a : a a ‘As they rode away after plundering the pas- sengers one of the ares) threw back one of the dynamite cartridges as a passing salute, but it failed to explode and was picked up by’ the fie thinks that the buckskin pouch from which it was taken myst a contained at least half a dozen of the mis- siles, It is believed that the robbers are the sanie men whoa month ago robbed the Tolluride bank of about $40,000 in broad daylight and skipped to the mountains near Green river. Large rewards have been offered by the ex- press company and the railroad, and every effort will be made to effect their capture. —— see Foreign Note: The marriage of the Princess Militza, daugh- ter of Prince Nicholas of Montenegro, to the Grand Duke Peter, cousin of the czar, was jolemnized in the chapel of the Peterhof palace Wednesday. The imperial family and all the ministers of state and foreign diplomatic repre- sentatives attended the ceremony. It is said that a part of Queen Victoria's sav- ings has been invested in real estate in New York city and that each year she draws a hand- some.income from the rentals. Frau Amalie Herzmansky, an Austrian lady, recently celebrated her silver wedding by founding a convalescent home for children at Weidlingan. The queen will have a replica of her jubilee portrait by Angeli made for the Victoria art gallery at Melbourne. The report of the srrest of Capt. Brujac of the French army on the charge of being a Ger- mam epy is denied. Capt. Brujac is at St. Bruice attending to his e‘ficial duties.
