He Gave the Information That Led to Hall’s Arrest, In the Police Court yesterday afternoon Ed- ward Voigt of the firm of Voigt & Haas, jewel- ers, was acquitted of the charge of receiving stolen goods. The goods in question were the silver spoons taken by Frank Hall from the residence of J. Tarbell Dyer. Capt. Dyer tes- tified to the loss. A. L. Saltzstein testified that Hall offered to seil the spoons to him, repre- senting that he was # son of Capt. Dyer. Witness told him to get a note from his father. Detective Block testified that defendant ad- mitted that ne bought the spoons of the young man and meited them up. Messrs. Jémes L. Norris, John C. Parker, W. B. Pomeroy and | others testified to Mr. Voigt’s good reputatior, | Mr. Voigt admitted purchasing the spoons and to meiting them up, as he was in need of silver at the time. He said that Hall stated mother bad sent him with them. Hall came week afterward with another lot of spoons. ‘This made Mr. Voigt suspicious and he tele- phoned for Detective Mattingly, but he was | out. He refused to buy the last lot. When | Block called he gave him all the information he had. . Judge Mills, after a review of the testimony, dismissed the case. Samuel D. Houck was next arranged ona similar charge. He purchased a saddle and whip from Hall. He plead guilty and a sen- tence of $20 fine or 30 days in jail was imposed. at he Mr. Ho ated so a Stan reporter t [pe gui in order to avoid trouble.

The District Commissioners and their agents pay no atten- tion to the appeals of the citizens of that neigh- borhood. Our grievance fs this: Whenever there is a rain storm, no matter how slight, the | pavement is covered completely with mud from | one-half inch to three inches deep that is washed from the badly arranged parking. Four- teenth street is quite 4 prominent thorough- fare, naturally so from the fact that the bureau of engraving and printing is located at the corner of 14th and B streets, with over 1,000 employes. These people are compelled to go down B street on the west side of 1ith to keep out of the mud. There should be some remedy for this evil. The question is how are we to get st it? Our worthy Commissioners pay no attention to our appeals. We do not wish to sling mud, nor do we wish to wade through mud in our every day walks through life.

How the Senators Were Defeated—Other Games Yesterday. Boston continued its winning streak yester- day at the expense of the Senators, the score being 7 to 5. The miserable fielding of Clarke at second and short in the early part of the contest was what enabled the Hubbites to win, his errors giving them 5 runs, 2 in the first and Sin the third. The batteries were Haddock and Daly and Badbourne and Ganzel. Wash- ington had a slight advantage in the matter of batting, but Haddock was quite wild, giving seven bases on balls, making two Wild pitches and hitting two men. The Senators, handi- capped by a lead of 5 runs, made a good rally in the eighth, and by scoring one then and twoin the ninth, brought the game up to aclose finish. After the first three innings they steadied down and did some good work in the field. Wilmot, John Irwin and Carney led the Washingtons in batting, euch making a single and a double. Daly made a two bagger. and Hoy, Clarke and Beeches each hit for a safe base. Arthur Irwin changed places with Clarke after the first inning, and guarded second bag during the remainder of the game. In the ninth, after two runs had been made, and two men were on the bases, Umpire Knight called Wilmot out on strike and thus cut off 4 good chance of the score being tied. Washington made 10 hits and 5 errors, and Bostons 9 hits and 2 errors. OTHER GAMES. New York took revenge on Philadelphia for the failures in Boston and by scoring five runs in the ninth won the game by the score of 8 to 4. Keefe and Ewing and Casey and Schriver were the batteries. Casey weakened in the ninth and Schriver made a couple of errors to — the Giants along. New York made 10 hits an 1 error,and Philadelphia 7 hits and7 errors, ‘The Hoosiers and the Infants played two games in Indianapolis, the first one being a tie and the second a victory for the men of In- diana. The score of the first game, which was uot prolonged beyond the niuth inuing, was 1 tol. O’Brien and Zimmer and Getzein and Daily were the batteries. Indianapolis made 6 hits and Qerrors aud Cleveland 5 hits and 4 errors, ‘The score of the second contest was 3 to1 in favor of the Hoosiers, Boyle and Buckley and Bakeley and Zimmer were in the points. In- dianapolis made 5 hits and 2 errors, and Cleve- land 6 hits and 4errors, Seven thousand peo- ple witnessed the two games. Pittsburg had but little trouble in defeating Chicago, in the latter city, 11 to 7, making 6 runs in the first. The batteries were Gumbert, ‘Tener and Darling, and Morris and Carroll. Pittsburg made Il hits and 4 errors and Chi- cago 9 hits and 3 errors, ASSOCIATION GAMES. At St. Louis.—Baltimore 4; St. Louis 2.

He may possibly play tomorrow, Jobu irwin played a perfect game, accepting idee ing some batting. There were 2,634 people nt atthe game in Boston, and 3,554 in New Yorks making 6.298 for the eastern games. In Chicago 2,900 people saw the game and in Indianapolis 7,000, accord- ing to the accounts, making 9,943 for the west, but it was an unusual day in Indianapolis, ‘Tim Keefe was married on Monday last to Mrs. Helm of Worcester, a sister of Helen John Ward’s wife, My, what Louisville ———»__ The Funeral of Col.

PROMISED FOR ENTERTAINING THE VETERANS, The citizens who gathered at Masonic temple last evening showed that they were very much in earnest in their intention to have Washing- ton selected as the place for the annual en- campment of the Grand Armyof the Republic next year, the twenty-fifth anniversary of the grand march of the armies of the war up Penn- sylvania avenue and their review by their com- manders, A few minutes after 8 o'clock the meeting was called to order by Mr. R. J. Beall, who stated its object and alluded to the great attractions and beauty of the city and the in- ducements it holds out to the veterans, who, he declared, would rather assemble here than in any other city. He had canvassed the city, he said, and had no doubt that Washington will be able to give the G. A. R. a grand and royal reception and welcome in 1890. THE OFFICERS. He propcsed the name of Commissioner L. G. Hine as chairman of the meeting, and the election was made unanimously amid applause. Mr. J. D, Croissant submitted the aera 4 list of vice presidents and secretaries, whic! was adopted: Vice president E. Lemon, M. M. Parker, Hon, Sayles J. Bowen, Hon. Matthew G. Emery, Wm.H. Slater, Hon.John W.Thomp- son, George T. Dearing, Hon. E. T. Riggs, John H. Magruder,Hon. Samuel Norment,Hon. Charles A. James, James W. Barker, Hon. B.H. Warner, S. H. ker, Hon. John E.

Secretaries—John Joy Edson, Frank B. Noyes, Edward A. Paul, Frank Hatton, J. D. Croissant, E. W. Fox, J. L. Johnson, Hallet Kilbourn, E. Sutherland. Mr. E. Kurtz Johnson was proffered the office of treasurer, but he modestly declined and nominated Mr. John H. Magruder, who was elected, SPEECH MAKING. “I wonder what our friend Col. Cook is sit- ting here for!” said the chairman. “Let him come forward and give usa few words of en- couragement.” “Of what?” exclaimed Mr. William A. Cook, inatoue that brought forth a sympathetic smile all'over the room. “Of encouragement,” repeated Mr. Hine. This satisfied Mr. Cook and be made a neat speech, He said that he was thoroughly a v beside ieee in anything that concerned the city, and he was thercfore deeply interested in the movement to invite the Grand Army here, characterizing that organization as a “grand body of heroes who, he: in the past, are heroes now, presenting a sublime spectacle.” He alluded to the peculiar fitness of this city as their meeting place, and said, in line of the old adage that “God helps them who help themselves,” that it can not be expected that the G. A. R. will come here unless invited and ‘iven a warm invitation at that. He said that the elegates to the encampment, together with others who will come, ‘remnants of the good, the brave, the heroic,” will swell the throng of 300,000. Each man, he said, will be likely to Spend at least $10 in the city, ‘How much will that make? Cor-ect me if I am wrong. Will it make $300,000? No. Then how does $3,000,000 strike you? Three millions of dol- lars spent in the District to remain here! Is it not therefore profitable for the citizens of Washington to raise the $25,000 or $50,000 necessary to insure arousing welcome? I leave you with this simple problem in financial mathe- matics to chew upon.” THE RESOLUTIONS, Mr. Croissant in presenting a series of reso- lutions said that the question should not be considered in an altogether selfish light. He spoke enthusiastically of the scenes near and in Washington that every oid soldier would like to visit, ‘The resolutions which he pre- sented and which were finally adopted set forth that the citizens of Washington extend a cordial invitation to the G.A.R. to hold its an- ier ane of 1390 in this city, which tuey defended and saved with their blood, and that they pledge themselves to use all possible efforts to secure the necessary fauds to render the encampment at the city of Washington a financial and social success, and to provide for that purpose whatever sum may be found necessary. E. Kurt Johnson stated that he had called on several of the principal hotels, and while many of the proprietors were oat of the city, he had received assurances that the hotel men would contribute $10,000 if not $15,000. The speaker Was sanguine that citizens would, as usual, re- Rage tow call for funds, and he had no doubt that ifthe Grand Army of the Republic could be persuaded to come to this city they would meet with a royal welcome, Mr. Gibson did not think that more than $20,000 or ¥25,000 would be required. Wash- ington has its attractions right at its doors. On motion of John H. Magruder the presi- dent was authorized to call another meeting, | provided the invitation is accepted. ‘The resolutions of invitation will be in the | ds of Department Commander Odell, and will likely be presented to the encampment by Geu. 8. 8. Burdett, Mr. Patrick O'Farrell, who was called to the floor by Col. Cook, said that he thought it would be a noble thing to invite, not only the boys in blue, but also to go over the river and extend an invitation to the boys in gray io come and “to give usa lift at Dixie or Our Maryland,” thus showing that the bloody chasm is forever closed. Comrades Hawkes and Gibson, delegates to the encampment from the District, were pres- ent at the iceting. ——_—»—_— Bavrimorne anp Ont) Excursion To THE SEasuone.—Only $3 to Atlantic City and back.

Sprinkle the Marshes With Shot. 4 SEASON OF GREAT SPORT ANTICIPATED—THE FAVORABLE CONDITION OF THE MARSHES— PLACES WHERE THE HUNTERS GO—THE GAME LAWS AND THE SUNDAY Law. Scores of people in Washington hail with de- light the coming of September 1, when the law Permits the killing of certain birds, The first of September is really the beginning of the gunning season. Already the gunner has begun to get his guns and ammunition ready for the morning of the of the season, As the first day of September falls on Sunday this year the season will not open until the follow- ing day. The law prohibits the gunner from carrying through the District on Sunday the implements used for killing birds, There are many persons, no doubt, who will want to start for the marshes Sunday evening in order to catch the early tide and get the first bag of — It nsed to be that persons who wanted carry their guns through the Diatrict on Sunday would take them a id carry them in sections to evade the law. Whether such an expedicnt would exempt a man from the penal- ties of the lew is not known, because such a case was never taken into court. It is not probable, however, that the police will disturb persons who start off Sunday evening for a day’s sport on Monday. THE MARSHES this year, so the gunners say, are in good con- dition and the birds are likely to remain longer than they generally do. The season has been so wet that the ge is still green and is very thick. That will make gunning exceedingly difficult the first morning, although the more experienced te horag known as “‘shovers” will be abie to get their boats through the grass. Good “‘shovers” are not so plentiful as they might be, and this year they are going to tuke advantage of the condition of the marshes and get their own prices for a day’s work. BIRDS ALREADY APPEARING. Reed birds and ortolan have already appeared in the marshes, so some of the gunners say, and the season promises to be a good and long one. With a few more warm days there will be plenty of ortolan here, and, should the weather | prove fine, the gunners predict that a week rom next Monday will be one of the best day’s gunning on the marshes, As already stated, the grass is yet pretty green and it is likely to remain so some time, and it will be some days before the seed will begin to ripen and fall. FAVORITE HUNTING GROUNDS. On the flats below the observatory there have been a flock or two of birds for several days. Those flats are easy of access, and consequently the number of gunners who go there is large. Gunning on the flats lower down is not so good, as the constant blowing of steamboat whistles frightens away the birds. The marshes in the Eastern branch from the Navy yard bridge to some distance above Bennings is probably the best place about here for the gunners, This ot is not only easy of access, but boats can be shoved through much easier than on the flats, ‘The street cars do not start early enough in the morning to get the gunner on the marsh in time for early shooting, and consequently many gunners will spend the night somewhere about the branch. Some will stay at Bennings bridge, while others will spend the night in boat houses near the branch, THE GAME Laws. The law permits the shooting of woodcock after the Istof July. Pheasants can be killed after the Ist of August. The birds that are permitted to be kille 1 after the Ist of Septem- ber are prairie chick>n, snipe, waterrail, orto- lan, reedbirds and ricebirds. It is a violation of law to kill any bird in the night time, to rob a bird’s nest or to trap or ensnare any bird. | The penalty for killing a bird in the night is | #25. A penalty of $10 is provided for persons | who trespass on the lands of another while gunning. This section was passed to prevent gunners from tramping through the truck gardens of farmers and destroying their pro- duce in order to shoot a few birds, There are now plenty of blackbirds in the marsh nd it is lawful to killthem. There has been considerable number of persons oe them within the past two or tbree weeks, REED BIRDS AND SPARROWS, , Next week there will appear on the bars of all the first-class restaurants the following: “Reed birds and ortolan on toast.” “The birds always appear in the restaurants before the opening of the gunnin, said a gunner toa Stag reporter. “I won't say | what kind of birds they are. I won't say that many of them are English sparrows because no one would accuse the proprietor of eating house of putting off sparrows on his customers for reed birds. Next week there will no doubt be a large number of both reed birds and orto- lan killed by persons who are in search of black birds, but hardly enough to supply the saloons, “Sparrows,” he continued, “‘are almost, if not quite, as good as cither of the other birds. They are usually very fat, and when cooked there is not one person :n «thousand who can tell the | difference between what he is eating and a} reed bird. There is no bird that flies that makes a better pot pie than the sparrow. Sparrows are sometimes hard to catch, but an experienced shot with a parlor rifle ought to kiii enough of them in the back yard any time to make a pie or to have them an toast.” A FISHY SUBSTITUTE. A story is told of Matt Server when he kept the salvon in the Baltimore and Potomac depot. Matt was very fond of birds of every descrip- tion and frequently he would get a number of them from persons who would arrive on the trains at night from a gunning a One night several of his frieuds who had been gunniug returned with a fine lot of birds. It was said that they had imbibed a little too freely. Matt got the birds and ordered them served on toast to the gunners, who were his guests, In a few mines the party was seated at a table and supper was served. There was something on toast. The hunters ate heartily of the supper for some minutes until one of them said some- thing about the number of small bones in the birds, and then Matt teld them of the joke he had played on them. They were eating fried herring. os There isa provision of law not embodied in the game law that imposes a penalty for dis- charging a gun within three hundred yards of a dweiling house. etl Prerauine ror THe Wasuixctox Licut Ix- FANTRY.—All eyes in Atlantic City seem to be turned toward the event of next Sunday, when the Washington Light {nfantry will arrive by a special train over the Pennsylvania railroad. ‘The city is already assuming a military air. ‘Train will leave B. and P. station to-morrow night at 9:45 p.m. and ran through without change, arriving at Atlantic City Sunday morn- ing.—Adot, se Saceieanietel ais FOREIGN NOTES.
