Rabbitt’s saloon, corner of 10th and C streets northwest, For the past three months milk has been stolen from there. The milk was delivered in glass jara by adairyman. As the latter arrived at Rabbitt’s house at an early hour in the morning the milk waa left at the front door. It was taken several times before Mr. Rabbitt paid any attention to it, but the thieves became so bold that they did not leave Pur Your sagy be and Wood from Joux- | his milk there more than three days in a week.

The suggestion that a meeting of citizens be held for the purpose of extending an invitation to the grand encampment of the Grand Army to hold their next session in this city has been received with much favor, A number of peo- ple came to Grand Army headquarters last evening with the expectation of attending such meeting. Mr. J. D. Croissant, who had pro- posed that date for the meeting, was on hand, but finding that arrangements had been made for holding a public meeting at Masonie Temple tomorrow night he concluded that it would be better to defer any action until that occasion. Those present were informally notified that no meeting would be held. Mr. R. J, Beall, who has interested himself in the matter, made a statement in regard to the meeting to be held tomorrow night. He said that a number of prominent citizens had expressed the wish that the veterans should hold the uext meeting in this city and had promised substantial assistance, It was expected that the meeting ‘would be presided over by one of the Commissioners and he had no doubt that the delegates from this city to the encampment which meets next week in Mil- waukee, would be authorized to extend a hearty and hospitable invitation to their com- rades to make this city their next meeting place. This statement was warmly applauded by those present and an adjournment was taken until tomorrow night. Grand Army men are unanimously of the opinion that it is only necessary to extend an invitation to the encampment to meet next year in this city to have it accepted without a dissenting voice. As soon as the money needed for the entertainment of the visitors is guaranteed the invitation will be given, and it is for the purpose of ascertaining whether the citizens are willing to contribute that the meeting tomorrow night is to be held. Mr. Beall says that everybody with whom he has talked wants the encampment to meet heré, = he has had liberal promises of financial ai ‘The call for the meeting tomorrow night has been issued by R. J. Beall and is as follows: “Lhe residents of the District of Columbia, desiring to greet the veterans of the late war a quarter of a century after the grand review of the armies of the Cnitea States, request all patriotic citizens to meet at Masonic temple ou the Z2d instant, at 8 o'clock p.m., to en- deavor to secure the encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic for 1890 in this city.” ——_—— FROM WASHINGTON GROVE.

Correspondence of THE EVENING STAR Frepexick, Mp., August 20, Much interest is felt here in the discussion that is going on over the location of the three Americas exposition of 1892. The people of Frederick are unanimously in favor of Wasb- ington as the place for holding the exposition and feel very confident that the national capi- tal will be chosen, notwithstanding the preten- tious claims of New York and u few of the west- ern towns. Itis not alone because of the prox- imity of Washington to Frederick that this feeling in its favor prevails here, but because it is sincerely believed that Washington is the | only suitable place for such an event. ‘The mystery surrounding the recent sudden death of Bush W.

THE GOOD FORTUNE OF THE WASHINGTON TEAM —HOW THE GAME WAS WON—BOSTON TAKES 4 STRONGER HOLD ON FIRST PLACE—NOTES OF ‘THE DIAMOND. The Senators fielded well yesterday, waited for bad balls to send them to bases and batted at the right time, thus winning the game easily from Philadelphia by the score of 6 to2. The batteries were Haddock and Daly and Day and Schriver. Day is from the Cape May club and his appearance in the box yesterday was an ex- periment, but s dismal failure. He was re- markably wild, sending ten men to first on balls. When he could get hie drop curve any- where near the plate it was fatal, and he suc- ceeded in striking oat eleven men, but there were others who succeeded in batting him just when men were waiting to go home. Had‘lock was hit harder than Day, but he gave only half as many bases on balls and kept the batting of the Phillies ty well ecattered. The field work of Washington was nearly perfect, Sam Wise making the only two errors of the game, ® fumble anda bad ww. The Phillies did not put up aremarkable game and their op- ponents profited by every error. HOW THE GAME Was WON, The Philadelphis Press says of the game: “Day is not entirely responsible for the loss of the game, for had the big Philadelphia bats- men hit the ball more frequently and at the proper time Philadelphia might still have won the game. Day struck out eleven of the visitors, big Sam Wise doing the act three times in suc- cession—Beecher and Carney being the only Washingtonians who did not strike out. Notwithstanding the fact that the home team lost, the contest was more interesting than that of the day previous, for the reason that the fielding was sharper and the score so close that none of the spectators gave up the game until the seventh inning, for two or three good hits on the part of the local men would have sen‘ them to the front. Hoy’s catch of Thompson's fly ball in the fifth and Mulvey’s one-handed stop of Haddock’s grounder in the eighth were the two brilliant features.” A DETAILED ACCOUNT, The Inquirer tells the story of the runs in this way: “The Phillies retired in order in the first in- ning, and the Senators at once jumped off with the lead by making two runs. After Wise had fanned out Hoy was given a base on balis. Wilmot flied to Thompson. Then Hoy stole second, moved up to third on Beecher to right, and scored on Arthur Irwin’s single to the same spot. John Irwin was sent to first on balis and Beecher scored on a passed ball. Arthur Irwin overrun third base on the same ball and Joe Mulvey touched him out. The Seuators made another run in the third. After Hoy had struck out Wilmot aimed ata wild (ome on his third strike and easily got to first. le stole second and scored on Myers’ wild throw of Beecher’s under, The Phillies did ‘not score until the fifth, Then"two runs came in. Farrar was given a gift of a base and went to second on a passed ball. Day struck out. Wood placed a single in left and Delehanty fol- lowed with one in — sending Farrar home and Wood to third. Wood scored on Myers’ fly to Hoy. Then Sam Thompson sent the ball skyward toward left center. It looked good for three bases, but Hoy sighted it and nabbed it on the full run, making a very pretty catch. Another tally was secured by the Senators in their half of the fifth. Hoy hit safely to center and Wilmot was given abase onballs. Beecher sacrified himself to Myers and the runners moved up a base, Then Schriver made a poor throw to Myers to catch Wilmot off second and Hoy scored. Arthur Irwin was the third out on strikes, The Senators made one more run in the seventh. Wise trotted to first on bails, got to third on sacrifices by Hoy and Wilmot and scored on Beecher's two-base drive to the flag pole. Arthur Irwin ended the inning with a grounder to Myers, Three of the Phillies reached first base in the eighth. but they could not score. Thompson made two bases ona wild throw by Wise, but was put out by fool- ishly running into John Irwin's arms after he had stoppeda grounder from Mulvey’s bat. Mulvey stole second. Schriver was sent to first on balls, Then Mulvey stole third. Fogarty ruined chances for a run by striking out, and Farrar flied to Beecher. The Senators made their last run in the eighth. John Irwin and Daly were sent to first on balls. Carney and Haddock both sacrificed themselves on grounders to Mulvey, and J. Irwin scored.” Fogarty had two disagreements with Umpire Curry that cost him $35 altogether. The last was on account of a called strike, Fogarty throwing down his bat and declaring that he would not play any more. This cost him $25, and Farrar finally coaxed him back. The Press makes these remarks about the game: Wise was visibly affected by his failure to connect with the ball. It is certainly very sel- dom that he strikes out three times in a game. Arthur Irwin atoned for his slow work of Monday by aremarkable stop of a screeching hit, on which he assisted in a quick double play. John Irwin played a decidedly improved game. ‘There are very few fly balls which get away from Hoy. The Phillies made three bits in succession in the second inning, but they could not geta man across the plate. OTHER GAMES YESTERDAY. Boston wiped the earth up with New York, defeating them with the greatest ease by the score of 12to2, Radbourne and Ganzel and Keefe, Welch and Ewing were the batteries, Keefe retired after the third inning, the Hub- bites having made 6 hits and 4 runs off his de- livery. Welch was only sweeter pie for Bos- ton, and the men of culture kept right on pounding while the Giants continued making a series of rank errors right up to the finish. Boston made 17 hits and 2 errors and New York Yhitsand 10 errors. Brouthers made two singles and a home run, Ganzel three singles, and Arthur Whitney three doubles. There were 9,000 people present. The Hoosiers took a game from the Anson- ians,10 to 7, Getzein and Sommers and Tener and Farrell were the batteries. Indianapolis made 14 hite and lerror and Chicago 11 hits and 11 errors.

A Cow with Tuberculosis Dissected | Anaesren ox SvusPicrox.—Ji Before the Gathered Farmers, Correspondence of THE Evexine Stas. Granoz Camp, Ang. 20. ‘This is the biggest day in point of numbers of the fair, and the best in results and the last. The number of people were largely in excess over any previous day. There were today representatives of all classes, grades and con- ditions of humanity dwelling in the region round about; the aged and the adolescent of the Caucasian and Ethiopian hue, male and female, large and small, and evincing all the traits and tastes pertaining to common human- ity hereabouts. The crowd to a thoughtful and observant spectator was a sugges- tive study. In not one proceeding were all united by common interest, and at no time were anything near all the people drawn together by a common desire tosceand hear, The attractive feature today was the address and the dissection of the lungs and udder of a cow affected with tuberculosis by Dr. Geo, C. Faville of the bureau of animal industry, Agricultural department. The animal was Lig 3 from some station in Maryland, selected from a herd of twelve, and this one was taken on account of the fact that the udder was attacked as well as the lungs. Doctor Fayille wished to show to the audience that the animals were often attacked with the disease in different parts of the body and not always. in the lungs alone. The animal had been sick about a year and was brought on the grounds alive that she might be seen alive. She was killed and the lungs and udder removed to a table on the stand and then dissected. _In this Dr, Faville was assisted by Dr. Jas. F. Ryder of the bureau. In his address he began by declar- ing how greatly indebted the stock-owning class was to veterinarian science for the dis- coveries it had made in relation to pleuro-pneu- monia and kine tuberculosis, He referred to the fearful consequences resulting to human life where ignorance prevailed in relation to the nature of this cattle disease—tuberculosia. The succeeding salient points of the address are briefly stated as follows: That the baccillus found in kine tuberculosis were identical with the baccillus found in cases of human _tuber- culosis; that the disease, it has been demon- strated, may be conveyed by infection from the human to the animal system and from the animal to the human system; that it may be communicated to the human by the beef eaten or the milk drunk of the animal. The usual cooking of the beef prevents the communication of the disease by that means as often as itis done by the milk. He gave figures showin; what a large per cent of animals in and aroun‘ Baltimore in the stables and dairies had been found affected with tuberculosis and how many beeves in a Bee number that had been slaughtered by the butchers in thatcity had been found affected with the disease. To protect the people agaiust the liability of infection by beef and milk with tuberculosis it was necessary, he said, to have compulsory examination of ‘the animals in all the stables in and the dairies around our cities, RELICS OF THE LAST CENTURY. In the exhibition hall there are sundry old heirlooms and relics on exhibition that have acurious interest for visitors, The following I noticed in @ hasty look through the hall: A pair of wool cards one hundred‘and fifty years old; rolls of wool, yellowed by time. of one hundred years ago: a silk vest and short breeches worn in 1770, colonial tim badge seventy-five years old; shoe buckles, ibited by Miss Maggie Gant of Langley, over two hun- dred years old; a glass sugar bowl by Mrs. Sarah Sewell, herself past ninety-tive years of age, one hundred and twenty-five years old; cup and sancer by Mrs, Dollie Leeds, one hun- dred and fifty years old; a top of a tureen of very old style, brought from China by Mrs. Fenwick; a pair of brass candlesticks one hun- dred and fifty years old; a glass salt dish eighty years old; a lance for bleeding horses used in the Revolutionary war; a neck ribbon worn in 1730, These articles, odd-looking things, show, perhaps, how great has been the improvement in the form of the articles and of the taste dis- played by the makers of the articles iu domestic use since that olden time, A survey of the implements used by the pro- ducers and now offered to them by various manufacturers shows how compiete they are in number and adaptability to their uses.

Correspondence of Tux EVENING Stan, Rockvitig, Aug. 20, A large meeting of the members of the re- publican party of this county was held here to- day, which was presided over by Mr. Benj. Miller, chairman of the republican state cen- tral committee for this county, with Mr. H. H. Miller as secretary. The object of the mect- ing was to inaugurate measures for the benefit of the party in the next campaign. After con- sultation it was agreed to call upon the voters to hold primary meetings in each election dis- trict on the 7th day of September to elect dele- gates to a county convention to be held at this place on the 14th of the same month for the purpose of nominating a county ticket to be voted for at the November election. The pro- ceedings of the meeting were harmonious throughout, and strong hopes were entertained that a large portion of the ticket could be elected if prominent and judicious men were placed upon it. The idea among several who expressed themselves was that. the shrievalty and board of county commissioners were the most vulnerable points in the newly nominated democratic ticket, while good fighting chances might develop on the nominees for the house of delegates by that party. Nearly every dis- trict in the county was represented in the meeting. Last night a Lay public meeting of the members of Rockville lodge of Good Templars was held at their rooms in the town hall. An interesting address on temperance was delivered by Mr. Prank E. Warren of Washington, He was followed by Rev. F. B. Teagarden, whose fine vocal and instrumental music enlivened the occasion.

This made things interesting for the would-be captors,who entered the house, now vacated by everybody but the prisoner, and bolting the doors against intruders proceeded to get him undercontrol. A crowd of nearly 100 cvlored people, mostly women and children, quickiy gathered and raising the window pelted the at- | tendants with sticke and stones, They suc- ceeded, however, in taking their man, but on the way back to the asylum were followed | some distance by the extempore crowd, who still pelted them with missiles, Mr. Chartters being struck with a stone, though not seriously injured. The attendanis knew only Mrs. Fanny Banks and her boy, Willis Banks, for whose arrest warrants have been secured. Another attendant coming to their assistance Anderson was finally returued to the asylum. He had been given considerable liberty of late asa test of his condition, it being hoped that he might soon be discharged. He is the same | man who got out several months ago and rushed into Frederick Douglass’ home to pray. | He has a wife and daughter living in Hillsdale, Tue Axacosria Liprary.—One hundred | books for the Auacostia library and sixty for St. Elizabeth, in addition to 160 already there, willarrive today.

A London special cable to the Philadelphia Times saya that about four weeks ago Morris Wise, who represented the United States Treasury department at the Paris industrial congress, was standing in the main corridor of the Hotel Metropole when a hand was laid lightly on his shoulder. He turned around and found Ross Raymond smiling at him. Wise’s greeting was not warm and Raymond disappeared after saying he had just come from Paris, Yesterday the following dispatch was received from Blackpool by the London police: “Rolfe, the man arrested here for swindling, is thirty-eight years old, 5 fect 934 inches high, with sallow complexion, dull gray eyes, heavy eyelids, dropping chin, brown hair, full fore head, stout figure, gentlemanly appearance and address and clean shaved, with medium mous- tache. He has an anchor, shield and two on his right forearm; medium voiced, is well educated, polished in style, well versed in mili- tary affairs in Egypt, also press and naval matters. He has very pleasing and attractive manners, is quiet and never at a loss for ideas, While in Blackpool he had dozens of people running after him, taking him driving, feasting and bonoring him. He speaks rather sharply and has an extensive vocabulary.” Raymond bore the name of Ernest Neville Rolie when he was committed at Manchester assizes for obtaining £21 01 a foreign bill of exchange. He represented himself in Black- pool as Bennett Burleigh, war correspondent, and vaid be was going to report the doings of the channel squadron at Fleetwood.

ELUPED WITR A PRIEST. Sensational Story in Regard to Mike McDonald’s Wife. Mrs, McDonald, wife of Mike McDonald, the well-known ex-gambler and politician, is miss- ing from her home in Chicago and is said to have eloped with a Catholic priest, who, it as a ‘alleged, has been since unfrocked by the eburch, Mra, McDonald disappeared a week ago last Friday, and though « small army of detectives has been retained to discover her whereabout they have succeeded only in ob- taining ber diamonds, pawned or sold some- where in the east. It ° supposed that Mrs. McDonald is now in Europe. A namber of years ago she ran away with Billy Arlington, the minstrel man, to San Francisco, where her busband overtook the guilty pair and com- pelled his wife to return to Chicago with him, Mra. McDonald's priestly paramour is said to be Rev. Father Joseph Maysant, who was as- sistant pastor of the Church of Notre Dame, from whence he was sent into retreat at Bour- bounois Grove, near Kankakee, for neglecting his duties in the church, and, it is said, because of his bibulous habits, He did not return to Notre Dame, but went from Bourbonnois Grove to Dixon, where ne remained until the elope- | ment. } ‘WHAT MR. M'DONALD SATS. | According to a special to the New York Sun Mr. McDonald said last night: “This pricst has sat at my table countless times, He has blessed my food and has even had my little boys get | down on their knees that he might bless them, He first came to my house two years ago last July. My wife, who had been to h, came home and told me she had met a priest whom she had invited to visit us, made no objections. The fellow came. His shoes were filled with holes, his dress was sloven manners were very offensive. But in all this my wife fell violently in love wii He scemed to have her charmed. Heeven put | ber up to rob me in the night, not ouly | f the money that was in my clothes but of irts, handkerchiefs and stockings. He was a frequent visitor at the house. He would eat five and six meals a day and drink my beer by the bucketful, They had their meeting places at the Grand Pacific Hotel, the Palmer House, and the Sherman House.” My wife kept all these clandestine engagements in the garb of a nun. The scoundrel, I am convinced, planned to poison me or get me out of the way in some manner, for he circulated a story that it would not be agreat while before there would be a id his vite of him. funeral at “Papa Mac's.’ He always called me ‘Papa Mac,’ and my wife ‘Mamm:. Mac.’ - He told me I had heart disease and was liable to die at any moment. He lied when he told these stories, and I am positive he tried to get my wife to murder me. She either would not or did not have the nerve to make the attempt. As soon as my servants told me about my wife's relations with the priest I went to the arch- bishop and luid the case before him, and I now enjoy some satisfaction in knowing that the feiiow has been unfrocked.” We Porwr Wnus Pine To the “Good name at home" won by HOOD'S SAR- | SAPARILLA.
