Arather nervous old lady. whose gray hair was concealed by a huge. flapping sun bonnet and who had fora companion her daughter, Jeaded this afternoon with Commissioner | ere for the life of their pet dog. The | agile dog catchers had ensnared the animal be- | cause it was not decorated with a tag. Nowa} tag for the current year costs $2, and/ it takes $2 more to release the pound-| master’s grip on any unfortunate canine | which falls into his clutches. Four dollars was more than the old lady could afford to spend, for she and her daughter earn what | little they get by taking in washing. Had they | been possessed of the requisite sum they would, however, undoubtedly have sacrificed it, | but they didn’t have it and there was no | expectation of their having it for some days to come. In their distress they went to the Commissioner and told the whole story. | Dr. Tindall was called in, and after he had escorted the joyful couple down stairs and bought them a tag (with their own $2) they departed for the pound just $2 anda dog ahead of where they had expected to be this afternoon, AN OFFICER WITHOUT DUTIES. Mr. G. W. C:ssel, one of the three Commis- sioners whose duty it is to establish grades of flour and to hear and decide appeals from the decisions of the flour inspectors, has reported to the Commissioners that during the past year no duties have devolved upon him as a Com- missioner. and he therefore is unable to make an estimate for the conduct and support of his office for the next year. INSPECTOR BURBOW’S REPORT. The annual report of Henry Burrows, in- spector and measurer of wood for the Rock creek district, has been submitted to the Com- missioners. Mr. Burrows siates that he measured and inspected 8,319 cords of wood, for which duty he received in fees the sum of $788.71. There were no expenditures except personal ones and there are no recommenda- tions, a a Fined for Whipping His Daughter. Astoutly-bailt colored man answering the name of Joseph W. Riley. living uear Tenley- town, was arraigned in the Poli:e Cou-t yester- day afternoon on the charge of inhumanly | whipping his daughter, Carrie Riley, a girl twelve years old. He pleaded guilty of whip- = child. Officer O'Neil testified that he found the girls both in a humble condition. The child testified that her father whipped her with a switch be- cause she would not ade water for him. The | child’s back was then inspected by the court. A fine of $5 was imposed after the court had given the man some gond advice. _ne-neumata The National Guard. At an election of officers last night by the National Fencibles Sergt. W. W.

Walker’s Funeral. The funeral of the late Rev. William J. Wal- ker, for more than quarter of a century pastor of Shiloh Baptist church, took place yesterday afternoon from the edifice in which he had so often spoken the words of truth and righteous- mess to the large congregation. The church, which is on L street between 16th and 17th streets, was crowded from an early hour yes- terday morning when those who desired to take @ last look ut their pastor, filed up one aisle, past the body at the chancel rail and down the other aisle. “Not less than 5,000 people viewed the remains as they thus laid in state. In the afternoon the funeral services were held, and there were many persons who failed to secure admission to the church, so great was the crowd. There were two wagon loads of floral tributes from many sources. Rev. Dr. Madden of Alexandria preached the funeral sermon. in accordance with an agreement made many years ago with the deceased to the effect that the survivor should officiate at the other's burial. Eulogies were also delivered by Rev. Dr. Waring, Rev. W. H. Brooks, Rev. Dr. How- ard and Superintendent Scott of the Shiloh Sun- day school. At the conclusion of the services, which occupied two hours, the body was taken to Graceland cemetery for interment, accom- i about one hundred fully-laden car- nog |® large number of mourners on foot.

How the Senators were Defeated Yes- | The White Cross University Pass on the| An Active terday—Other Games. ‘The Quaker City team managed to hit the ball at the proper time yesterday and although they showed little or no superiority over the Senators either in the awe or ee or batting they won game score of 11 to 8 Ferson and Mack and Sanders and Clements were the batteries, somewhat tothe surpriseof those here who thought that Keefe would pitch. The Phillies took s lead at the start and kept the tail enders stern chasing nearly through the game. In fact it was a hard fight for the men of Philadelphia, and it was only in the ninth, when they knocked out three runs, that they could count on the game. The Press says: “‘The game was replete with interesting features, prominent amo’ which were the center field work of Fogarty, his base running and orang Thompson’s fielding, the batting of Arthur Irwin and Mack and the center field work of Hoy. Sam Wise was taken ill in the first inning and was forced to retire in favor of Catcher Clark, who filled the posi- tion with credit, Mack was decidedly off in his throwing to the bases, being with four errors.” HOW THE RUNS WERE MADE. The Times tells the story of the runs as follows: “Wise’s fumble of Wood’s hit in the first gave the runner his base, and on Hallman’s sacrifice he went to second. Myers hit fora single and on Thompson's two-bagger Wood scored and Myers went to third. ulvey’s fly to Beecher allowed Myers to score. Clements was sent .to first on balls, stole second, aided by a wild throw, and on Fogarty’s three- bagger to right field he and Thompson the run-getting for their half. Mulvey wild th ‘Hoy his base in ulvey’s wild throw gave Ho} the visitors’ first inning and Myers fambled Beecher's hit, On this error Moy, who had reached second on Mulvey’s error, scored, A base on balls to Hallman, a steal and Thompson's second two-base hit sent ina run in the second. Three me two of which were scratches, and Mulvey’s second wild throw gave the Senators one in their half, Two more were added in the third on Fogarty’s hit, a steal, Carney's noe poe thrown ball and another stec!, followed by Sanders’ single. Two two-baggers by the Irwin brothers earned arun for the Senators in their half. From this up to the seventh both sides drew blanks. In this, however, the whole ect of the game changed and Washington tied the score. Hits by Clark and Hoy, a base on balls to Wilmot, and singles by A. Irwin and Mack, together with a sacrifice and Clements’ fumble, allowed four runs to be scored. The Phillies tallied in the eighth ontwo errors bythe Irwins and Mack's wild throw, and the score was again tied by the Senators on a base on balls to Hoy, Hallman’s error, and Beecher’s single. Clem- ents led off in the last inning with a fly to Hoy, and Fogarty hit safely and stole second. Farrar struck out. Sanders placed one into right for two bases, sending Fogarty home, and on Wood's single Sanders scored. Wood stole third and Hallman’s single brought him home, and the game was won, as Washington was unable to tally.” Washi mu made 12 hits and 6 errors, and Philadelphia 13 hits and 6 errors, IN OTHER CITIES. Boston repeated the dose to New York, snatch- ing away the third game by the score of 10 to 4, and thereby getting an almost sure lead. Crane and Ewing, and Clarkson and Bennett were the batteries. As on Monday, Boston made 11 hits and 4 errors and New York 10 hits and 2errors, Ewing made three singles and a doubie. Pittsburg took the third straight from Cleve- land, 6 to 5. Beckley’s heme run in the eighth did the business, Gruber and Zimmer, and Galvin and Carroll were the batteries, Pitts- burg made 9 hits and 3 errors, and Cleveland 7 hits and 0 errors. Chicago walked all over the Hoosiers, 12 to6, The batteries were Rusie. Daily and Sommers, and Dwyer and Farrell. Chicago made 16 hits and 2 errors, and Indianapolis 13 hits and 1 er- TWO PROBLEMS SETTLED. Elixir and the Maybrick Questions. The White Cross university of science, a body which was organized and incorporated in this city a few dsys since, has taken up national and international matters and is settling them as rapidly as possible. The board of trustees first came to a conclusion as to the Brown- Sequard elixir. After a searching discussion it resolved that ‘this fluid, taken from an animal of one species and injected into the circulating blood of man or an animal of another species is abhorrent to the law of nature—that each shall be and remain of its kind as created originally; that such elixir is corruptible on exposure to the oxygen of the air and becomes utrid; that ite use by would a render it capable of becoming a component part of the natural circulation, but it must assume the character of # septic, foreign sub- stance and generate blood poison, with a gen- eral septic condition of the circulating blood, of which it cannot form anelement.” The resolutions 5° on to state that the injection of the so-called elixir near the heart results more rapidly than when the injection is made below the knees; this havi discovered by members of the university as far back as several — << “In one case,” it is quote ied within one minute when injec’ ove the heart. Transfusion of blood of the ealthy to a depleted person, but only of the same species strictly. This university, therefore declines to admit the said Brown- Sequard elixir as a remedial agent.” THE MAYBRICK CASE. Having thus declared its lack of faith in the latest medical sensation, which it declares to be old anyhow, the board of trustees took up the Maybrick case and resolved that “arsenic having an affinity for the iron of the blood will for years remain in the system, as found in his (Mr. Maybrick’s) case. and is no evidence of murder by arsenic; that the — of ani- mus cannot arise in law antil there is primary proof in fact that a murder has been commit- ted.” Other judicial argument is made in the resolutions, and reference is made to the ex- ression ‘‘He is sick unto death.” The ultima- um is ‘‘This university of science therefore, in the interest of humanity, entertains the opinion that her majesty’s government may justly re- mit Mrs, Maybrick’s sentence and grant her a epee Resolved that this view of her case transmitted to her majesty’s minister to the United States, with the request that it be for- warded to her majesty’s government.” Both documents are signed by the members of the board of trustees, Profs. Wm. Wheeler Hubbell, Romulus W. Ruter, Lee Crandall, Samuel M. Baldwin and Zachariah V. Purdy. The Maybrick resolutions have been transmit- ted to the British minister. ———___ ELECTRICITY VERSUS MULES. Special Agent Key Tells How to Make the C. and O. Canal Profitable. “Why don't the managers of canals, and es- pecially the managers of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal (for we are all interested in that), run their waterways upon the same general plan as that which governs the railroad system?” That was the conundrum which Agent Key of the Humane society fired at a Stan reporter today, and then, without waiting for a reply, the agent went on to answer it himself. “Who- ever heard,” said he, “of a railroad company building a road through a fine agricultural, lumber and mineral country; furnishing an office for its president and treasurer; engaging clerks and book keepers, and then sitting down to wait for Farmer Smith, Miller Jones or Mrs. Harrisand her daughters to put on second- hand rolling stock to be drawn by old, worn- out, spavined mules? Yet this is just what has been done by the Chesapeake and Ohio canal company. The canal boats are owned by men and women who are too poor to buy good mules, or too cruel to keep them good, and, as ror.

Philadelphia plays in New York, Pittsburg in Chicago, Cleveland in Indianapolis. Boston has struck a gait that promises trouble abead for the Giants, Five game won out of a is the Senatorial record so far on the visiting trip. Washington has secured Krock, recently re- a by Indianapolis and less recently by Chicago. There were 9,585 people present yesterday at the Boston game, making nearly $2,000 for the New York series, Arthur Irwin surprised the Philadelphians yesterday by making three hits, a single and two doubles, jeading the Senators; Mack made three singles, John Irwin a two-bagger, and Clark, Hoy, Beecher, Carney and Ferson each a single. Chicago has passed Cleveland and Pittsburg is pressing upward. It looks very much as though the Infants were doomed to lower com- t first thought. icago made another home run yesterday, He is one of Anson's best men. “Funny, isn’t it?” says an exchange. “The Chicago club released Krock and Sommers to Indianapolis. aud is now negotiating for the services of George Myers, whom the Hoosier Management has unconditionally released, Then there is John Healy, released by Indian- apolis to Washington, by Washington to Chi- | cago and unconditionally released by Chicago. | Indianay lis has made him an offer.” made all the “funnier” by Krock’s signing now with Washington.

The blow he received on the head was a severe one. Arlie Latham, the Browns’ third baseman, who was suspended two weeks ago for sus- picious playing, was conditionally reinstated yesterday. He appealed to Comiskey to re- move the stigma which the suspension put on him and after reading him a severe lecture, Comiskey promised to put him back on con- dition that he would play ball to win and turn over a new leaf morally. The RetiredGents and the Essex teams will play tomorrow at Capitol park. Roberts and Courtney will occupy the points for the Gents, and King and Kaufman for the Essex. The Silver Springs team defeated the Ca tol Hill club yesterday at Silver Springs by the score of 15 to 10. Garrett and King were the battery for the former and Byan and McKenna for the latter, SESS She Tumbled From a Car. Yesterday morning a young woman hanging on to the side of @ summer car was thrown or jostled off at Seventh street and Maryland ave- nue, She had the presence of mind to draw up her foot. and thus probably saved herself from serious injury. She recovered her basket from the car, but her day's pleasure was spoiled. It is Tex Days 1x THe Heart or THE ALLEGHENIES. The fine air, bright skies and charming scener, that have made Cresson famous have an adde attraction in the proximity of the devastated Conemaugh valley and the ruined city of Johnstown. Asa starting point for an excur- sion into this region Cresson is pre-eminently the place. Frequent trains, both morning and afternoon. run in both directions, so that one may spend morning or afternoon or the whole day in the valley of the flood. There is much to be seen, and one who has read of the flood without seeing the flooded section will find how slight a conception of its terrors words and pictures have conveyed to him. The Pennsyi- vania company’s personally-conducted excursion to Cresson cn August 29 is just the opportu ity of the summer. valid for e) @ consequence, the average speed ofa traveling boat was less than 3 miles an hour. Then when a freshet comes and washes away a few thousand dollars’ worth of canal bank the offi- cers and directors say: ‘Oh, the canal doesn’t pay; it’s losing money all the time.’ Any intelligent man who will give the matter a_ little thought can see that the miserable old plan has caused them more financial distress than al! the floods put to- gether. I have yet to see a man or a company successful in any business where they derived motor power from old, poor, spavined horses or mules, Such animals are not only the slow- est and poorest, but they are the most expen- sive motor. It costs just as much to feed them when the boats are idle as when the boats are running. If this company can only repair the canal, and will then put on its own boats and run them by an electriccable (if nothing better can be found,) and have the canal managed by live, intelligent men, capital will seek an in- vestment in its stock instead of, as now, hiding every time it sees a canalman, The electric motor would be cheap, for the company has water power enough and tospare. TO FURNISH COLD AIR. “Now there is another thing the canal com- pany could do that would be profitable,” he went on. “One of the principal things here- tofore accomplished by the canal was the supplying of this city with cheap fuel, so that the poorest could afford to have a little fire at which to warm themselves in winter time. The field can be enlarged very materiall: Why cannot the company furnish cold air summer time? The electric fan is no longer an experiment, but its motive power must be furnished more Cen than at present or only those people who are in comfortable circumstances can afford to have one, The homes of the poor are in most instances com- fortable when the thermometer goes below freezing, but how are they when the mer- cury is up in the nineties? Those fortunate ones who have means can go to the moun- tains or seashore to be benetited by the cool, refreshing breezes, but the poverty-stricken in our city have no such relief. The electricity generated by steam engine is so costly that the poor man cannot indulge in the luxury of a fan, and if he wants light after sun- down he must use the oxygen destroying and heating gas or oillamp. ‘Ihe canal company has ample water power and it ought to use it, If it will, then every house inthe District of Columbia would be the more comfortabie. My advice (if the canal company will listen to it) is to cull together two or three of the best practi- cal electricians in the company and ask some sound capitalists to consult with them as to the feasibility of this scheme. If they do this; if they furnish us with cheaper fuel ‘and motive power, cheaper and better light, and cooler air in summer time, I predict that when the Three Americas exposition is held here in 1892 the business of the company will be paying a hand- some dividend on $10,000,000,” Twice in One Day.

The first trip is made early in the morning, the start being made be- fore daybreak. On this trip the men look for and pick up homeless, tramp dogs that live by stealing and eating whatever they can pick up about the streets. There are many such dogs in the city, or, at least, there were many of them not long ago. The constant work of the poundmaster has lessened the number consid- erably during the past few days, Tuesday morning there were twenty-three dogs cap- tured, and yesterday morning the number was twenty-seven. SURRENDERING THEIR PETS. The second trip made by the wagon is of a different nature, although the men pick up any stray animal that comes in sight. On: this trip the men go after dogs that are surrendered by their owners. These animals belong to the unfortunate Peed of een curs, —— owners are either not able or not willing to pay the license tax of $2 annually. During the ae the license year the ice make a visit almost every house to locate dogs and eaeaty the number of licenses taken out is much larger than it would be under other circumstances. The demand for tags during the past few days has been so great that the supply has been exhausted. Persons who pay the fee now are given certificates which nre honored at the pound to redeem the animals, During the past two days eighty-five dogs have been collected from the houses of persons who would not purchase tage, which, together with the oe icked up on the streets, makes a total of 185 canines impounded in two days, IN THE POLICE covet. Yesterday afternoon in the Police Court Judge Mills devoted some of his time to the cases of tagless canines brought before the court by Officers Slack and Fifield. The first was the case of Albert Wall, and the officers testified that on Sunday they counted seven- teen dogs on his premises, The defendant de- nied that he was so wealthy in doga, He said he was the owner of but seven and he read their names as follows: Grant, Joler, Buster, Pluck, Shot, Rags and Major.

Their home is by itself and quite se- cluded, being surrounded by trees and large gardens on either side, and for some time past men have been seen prowling about the oes at night, occasionally gathering the fruits of the gardens, but ofttimes apparently intent on burglarizing the house, the family being in good circumstances and Mrs, Sutton supposed to have some means by her in the absence of her husband. Two men were stealing stealth- ily about the premises again last night, this be- ing the fifth time they have been seen, and in climbing the fence awakened Mrs. Sutton. Expecting they would try to enter the house she very boldly went down stairs, end her young daughter, awakening and finding herself alone in bed, uttered the cries that aroused the neighbors and brought assistance.
