It is quite likely that the mills will be supplied with water to- morrow. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. NOT UNDER THE COMMISSIONERS. In reply to a communication from Mr. B. A.

A meeting of the Pennsylvania republican association. at which representatives of other State republican associations were invited to be Present. was held at Grand Army hall last even- ing. Probably seventy-tive persons were pres- eat Air. 8. RB. Stratton, president of the asso- ciation, presided, and in a long speech com- Plained most bitterly of the attitude ef the administration as to the matter of making appoiniments. “We are no: getting a proper recoguition as members of prominent republi- cau organizations in this city for the work that has been and is to be done by us,” he said. | “We considered it necessary that we get to-| gether and size up the situation, to compare Rotes und see what standing we have with the Sppointing powers of the government, or Whether we bave any ding at all worth | Mentioniug. The be: st of our standing | tically is shown in our ability to get places | lor the unemployed in this association in the | public service. “For myself I can say that my | efforts on bebalf of members were never before so abortive as they have been during the last two or three months.” | Some short speeches followed this.

C., THURSDAY DOUBLY REVENGED. The Senators Annthilated in New York Yesterday. BOW TWO GAMES WERE LOST—DISASTROUS END- ING OF THE TOUR—THE INDIVIDUAL PLAYING OF THE HOME TEAM—THE RECORD—BALL NoTEs. The Senators and the Giants played two games of ball in New York yesterday, both of which were won by the latter. The first game was a perfect Waterloo, the score being 16 to 3, The batteries were Ferson, Clarke and Daly, and Crane and Ewing. Clarke split his finger in the fourth inning and gave way to Daly. Ferson's delivery was not effective, and he waa given miserable support. The batting was very hard on both sides, but the Giants had the best of the contest, both at the bat and in the field, from the start to the finish. They scored two in the first and the Senators one in the second. Then in the fourth the New Yorks won the game by making six runs. Both sides scored in the fifth, New York3 and Washing- ton 1. The Giants scored 1 in the sixth, and both teams in the seventh. Then in the ninth, with the tally 13 to $, Gotham's folks made 3 more. Wise led the good batting and the bad fielding for Washi maki two singles oan a deans ror tome formes John, Irwin made a double and asingle, besides putting up a perfect game with 3 outs and 7 assists. ilmot and Beecher each made two singles, and the latter an error. Arthur Irwin found the ball ouce for two bases, and made two errors in li chances. Carney, Ferson and Hoy each hit safely. New York made 16 hits and 3 errors and Washington 18 hits and 10 errors. THE SECOND GAME. The score of the second game, which was called at the end of the sixth inning on account of darkness, was7to 5. The batteries were Keefe and Daly, and O'Day and Brown. Carney did not play, Beecher taking his place on first base. As thore was no one to put in the gap in right field, Harry Clarke of the Actors’ nine played that position for Washi m. The Giants won by harder hitting, both teams playing indifferently in the field. Each made a couple of runs in the first, New York 1 in the second and Washington lin the third, tieing the score. Then, in the fifth, New York made 8 runs and Washington 2. The Giants advanced ous step in their lead in the sixth, and at the end of tbat inning the close and interesting game was closed. New York earned 4 of the runs and Washington 3. Hoy did the best batting of the day with a single and a triple. Wilmot made a double and a single, Beecher a double, and Wise and Daly each a single. Wise, Wilmot, Beecher and Daly each made an error. Keefe gave four bases on bails and struck out three men, and O'Day gave one base and struck out four men. Washington made 7 hits and 4runs and New York 13 hits and 4 runs. AMONG THE OTHER TEAMS. Philadelphia won from Boston in the ninth inning, the final score being 5to3. Big Sam ‘Thompson did the business for the Phillies, making a home run hit in the last inning with two out, twoon bases and the score3 to2 against them. The batteries were Radbourne and Bennett and Sanders and Schriver. Boston mide 7 hits and 2 errors and Philadelphia 13 hits and 6 errors. Chicago won in the tenth from Cleveland, score 8to7, Ryan makinga home run. [he teams played about evenly both at the bat and in the . The batteries were Beatin, Bakeley and Zimmer and Hutchinson and Farrell, Clevelaud made 13 hits and 4 errors and Chicago 12 hits and 3 errors, Pittsburg had about lost the game to Indian- apolis yesterday, when the Hoosiers were con- siderably surprised in the ninth by a tremen- dous streak of batting that netted eleven runs and the victory. The score was 14 to 7. At the beginning of the ninth it was 8 to 3, and the final result took everybodys breatb away. The batteries at the start were Boyle and Buckley and Morris and Carroll. Morris was knocked out of the box in the fourth and Sowders took his place, the Hoosiers being powerless before him. In the ninth, after nine runs had been scored, Boyle went to third base, Denny to short, and Glasscock essayed to pitch. He was wild, and two more runs resulted. Pittsburg made 18 hits aud 2 errors and Indianapolis 13 hits and 2 errors. ASSOCIATION GAMES. At St. Louis—St. Louis, 9; Kansas City, 9; eight innings, darkness.

Home again! The Senators ended their trip badly, They cross bats with the Phillies today. New York profited by yesterday's work. Sam Thompson could own Philadelphia to- day if he wanted to. Alas! Poor Cleveland! The tobog is long and slippery indeed. Baltimore has about shattered Brooklyn's hopes for the association pennant. Wilmot aud Wise were at the bat seven times a piece yesterday and each made four hits, Chicago is looming up in the foreground of the league just at present, and is now keeping the Phillies busy holding third place. Anson is a great stayer. Clarke has bard luck with his hands. This makes about the third time this season that he has bad them injured, It is quite probable that some postponed games will be played off this week here. ‘The Senators have three such with the Phillies on the home grounds. In a voting contest in the east on the most popular and all-round playee Ewing received 391 votes, Kelly 137, Anson 129, Ward 59, Glass- cock 39, Ganzel 33, Williamson 23, Buftinton 12, A. Irwin 8, Denny 6. Three each sa Dunlap and Fred Carroll, and two choose Fields. Foutz leads the association, having 833 to Comiskey's 147.—Philudelphia Inquirer. From the above it would sppear that the pular idea of popularity is based on a foun- Eten of rough, oe, pray pacte ball play- ing. On these grounds there is no doubt as to the champion. Of course, if the popular idea is that of a winning loccll yhad the vote is all right, but if it was intended to bring out the seutiment as tothe man who deserved the most honest praise the balloting is rather queer. The Senators are now home again after « long tour. The have visited every othez league city and have played twenty-three games away from home, being for a ater | part of the time crippled in 1 itching | talent. That they have succeeded in win- | ning seven of these games is cause for con- 1 | gratulation, Instead of going backward in their percentage on this trip, as is usuaily the case when they go abroad, they have just about held their own, and although there is still a wide gap between them and a place the home patrons should not feel that the club has | lost every chance. | Im these twenty-three games the Senators made 123 runs, 212 hits and 105 errors, while their opponents made 196 runs, 248 hits and 76 | errors, They were outbatted in Tt city but Indi, is, where they made $8 hits to 30, and in ton, where they made 33 hits to 31. ‘They were outfielded in every city, coming pretty close to their opponents in this respect in New York, Philadel ipbia and Cieveland, where the enemy made 1 error less. Wilmot made 25 hits and 3 errors; Hoy, 23 hits, 4 errors; Wise, 21 hits, 21 errors; Beecher, ‘24 hits, Serrors; Arthur Irwin, 21 hits, 14 errors; Woodnut, lots 1 to 3, 80 to 82, bik. 8, Glen- dale; s—. —_—.—— ‘Tarvs or tne Ratz AND Surtr.—Three dol- lars to Atlantic City and return by oy train of parlor cars poe apse: ty vy valid for return by regular trains of Sunday or y.

Good Times of the W. L. I. at Atlantic THE FAVORABLE IMPRESSION MADE BY THE WASH- INGTON BOYS—STRICT DISCIPLINE ENFORCED— HOW MB. LOEFFLER WAS HELD UP—NOTES OF ‘THE CAMP, Correspondence of Taz EvExtxa Stax. Witt1am G. Moors Camp, Atuaytio Crrr, August 23. The camp is as lively as the cricket that Capt. John Miller and Lieut. Pete Duffy have in their tent, and, by the way, that cricket is a large and lively one, and sounds the reveille in the morning in tones stentorous enough to awaken the seven sleepers if there were such in this section of America at the present time. It would take columns to tell the tale of tent life that is now being enacted, Its scenes of jollity, pleasantry and real downright genial fun are enjoyed by hundreds of visitors, and when a stranger enters camp he is at once made at home, and when he leaves it he leaves it a friend. The members of the Infantry and the Corcoran Cadets certainly reflect great credit upon the District. They have been here three years in succession, and from the remarks one hears on every side they are wanted here three times three years, As Major Hoffmann re- marked to Tax Stam correspondent: “A more complete set of gentlemen have never favored our favored city.” GOOD DISCIPLINE. ‘The boys have been remarkably attentive to discipline, It is absolutely impossible for a man tocome into camp without the counter- sign. Adjutant Charlie Loffler was red with this soldierly efficiency last nig! t. He was coming into camp a little after taps” had sounded, accompanied by two members of the band, and was suddenly halted by Private Cunegan. Charley essayed to get by the sentry but t'was no use. Mr. Cunegan would not have it. He called the corporal of tne ‘d. Charlie tried to make friends with the corporal—which his name was Ed. Moore— but even this diplomacy was insufficient. Consequently Lefiier’s name was on the list of the delinquents presented to Major Dalton this morning. But Charlie has lost no flesh by his terrible experience. DRESS PARADE. This evening at 5:30 o'clock the corps gave a dress parade on the Brighton lawn in response to an invitation extended by the managers of the hotels in that vicinity. The guests of the Traymore, the Windsor, the Brighton, the Shelburne and the Dennis were out in full force, and when Major Dalton put the boys through the evolutions the great cea testified its approbation in an unmistakably loud manner. As soon as the corps returned tocamp every mother’s son of its component arte began to get ready for the journalist's anquet, and as this is written the many dis- tinguished guests of the popular newspaper men of Atlantic City are indulging in the “small sweet courtesies of life,” as well as the more material adjuncts of existence, NOTES OF THE CAMP, Lieut. 8.

Sg SHOT BY HIS FRIEND. Serious Result of a Joke with a Loaded Pistol. A YOUNG COLORED MAN PERHAPS FATALLY IN- JURED—HIS FRIEND POINTED A REVOLVER AT HIM IN FUN—ME DID NOT KNOW THAT IT Was LOADED. Geo. T. Moore, young colored man who lives with his parents at No. 11 Goat alley, is held at the second precinct station on a charge of assault and battery. A pistol is the weapon used, although the police believe Moore's state- ment that the shooting was accidental and that ‘didn’t know it was loaded.” The victim of the pistol is a young colored man named Jacob Brooks. Both young men have good reputations. Brooks has been accu- pying a room in Mrs, Moore's house and he and George roomed together. Yesterday | afternoon the young men were in their room getting ready to go out somewhere, Moore etting ready to shave and he requested ‘8 to hand him the shaving cup. 0 I won't,” said Brooks, good naturedly, LEVELED THE PISTOL aT HIM. Moore then picked up the old pistol and pointed it at Brooks, pretending he was going to shoot him or make him comply with his re- quest and band him the shaving mug. “Don't do that,” shouted Brooks as Moore pointed the weapon at him. e added. Before Brooks could get out of the way the report of the weapon rang through the alley and Brooks fell to the floor with the bullet in his head. The bullet entered the left side of the nose and buried itself somewhere in the head. Moore, at once realizing what he had done, ran to his companion’s assistance. A physician was sent for, but Policeman Fox, who was attracted to the house by hearing the report of the pistol, arrived before the phy- sician and bad the wounded man taken to Providence hospital. Moore was placed under arrest aud taken to the station. THE STATEMENTS OF THE MEN, His statement of the affair was substantially as that given above. He said he had no idea that the weapon wus loaded. No one, he said, regretted the affair moro than he did, because he and Brooks were warm rsonal friends, The injured man gave a similar version of the shooting. He told the officers that he and Moore were good friends and the shooting was purely accidental. ks was in a critical condition last night. ‘he bullet, after enter- ing the nose, took an upward course and it is thought lodged somewhere near the brain. ‘This morning the injured man was better, —ae THE ATHLETIC CLUB GAMES. Results of the Contests on Analostan Island Yesterday. A more suitable day for out-of-doors athletic contests could not have been selected than yes- terday, when about ninety members of the Co- lumbia athletic club took part in the different sports on Anslostan island) There were many surprises in store for the contestants, owing to the equalization by handicapping. To be sure there were no records broken or any phenomena discovered, but many athletes who have heretofore been indifferent were aroused to dly rivalry; just what the club now most desires. Many members think the oftener such meets are held the better the ef- fects will be in every way. The first event was @ dash of 75 yards and was won by W. Ballun- tyne—8 feet—in 8 2-5 seconds, with C. L, Mc- Caully, 6 teet, second, in 8 3-5 seconds, Ballantyne also won the 100 yards dash with a handicap of 6 yards in 10 45 with Elder (yards) second, in 11 seconds. The PR ins run was caught by Buel (15 yards) in 24 seconds, with Elder (10 yards) sec- ond, in 25 seconds. Ballantyne again proved a winner in the 440 yards, beating Moulton “Ballantyne had a dicap of 35 yards, and won in 56 seconds, 01 Ni “It might go off,” Moult who was givea a handicap of 25 fee’ po ry ae e ards run“ " Elder considerable beadwork and cred his wind for the stretch, beating Kenyon and Lee arban, second 's Har- who run a dead heat for and _ NOT SINKS OF INIQUITY. The Seventh-Street Saloon Keepers An- swer Mr. B. H. Warner’s Letter. The District Commissioners have received 26, 1889: “A communication of the 12th instant was received by your honorable body from Mr. Brainard H. Warner, in which he publicly and without reservation denounced some twenty- seven respectable citizens engaged in carrying on a legalized business, for which they are an- nually taxed the sum of $100, and they do not Propose that the said libelous letter shall re- main unanswered, especially as it has received widespread publication in the newspapers of the District. NUMBER OF SALOONS, “Mr, Warner has thought proper tocount the number of saloons on 7th street for a mile sbove Boundary and numbers them at twenty- seven. If he will count them for the same distance on 7th street below Boundary or on F street, where his office is situated, he will Tinton find twice the number in the same tance. If the twenty-seven places mentioned as ‘sinks of iniquity’ and the ‘worst kind of gin mills this side of London, where old soldiers are demoralized and where the Montgomery farm- ers (who have probably voted the prohibition ticket in their own county) who are afraid to trust their drivers on 7th street with — se wagons are forced to drive them them- and it is not an uncommon sight to see four-horse wagon making its way home with the driver drunk in the wagon; that women and children are frequently insulted, and that it is dangerous for them to walk on 7th street,’ then it is time for the intervention of your honorable body, for it would establish the efficiency of the police force in the District, the incapacity of Montgomery farmers to come to town unattended by guardians, and the violation of the District laws by the saloon keepers on 7th street; but the above state- ments are entirely false and without foundation or cause, as the undersigned stand ready to prove, if necessany. CONFIRMED BY THE POLICE. “Lieut. Gessford, who has been in charge of the police precinct in which our respective places of business are situated, and who is known as an honest, tried and efficient officer, will disprove emphatically the statements of Mr. Warner, and the reports of the officers in the same precios who almost hourly pass our places of business will confirm his report. TAXATION ON PROPERTY. “The fact that property has not depreciated in value, as stated by Mr. Warner, is best answered by the fact that taxation on property on 7th street above Boundary has been almost doubled within the last two years, and its value has increased more than two-fold. There are bad men engaged in all business pursuits. and we could with the same propriety denounce Mr. Warner and all the real extate men on F street as dishonest and as drunkards because some few of them have acted improperly, and Mr. Warner will not increase the value of Property on 7th street or elsewhere by de- nouncing citizens who are as much interested in the value of said property as Mr. Warner is himself, LEGAL ACTION TO BE TAKEN. “We do not propose to allow Mr. Warner to make us responsible for all the whisky the Montgomery people drink simply because they must necessarily our places of business, or for infractions of the law for which we are in no way responsible, nor do we propose to allow him to assault and insult our wives, children, places of business and ourselves with- out resenting it, It is not our intention to con- test this matter before your honorable body or in the newspapers, but we shail take such legal action against Mr. Warner as the circumstances demand.

Freperick, The friends in this county of the and Ohio canal have had their interest in the question of its probable restoration aroused by the action of the Washington county people who a few days ago at Hagerstown decided to hold a county convention for the purpose of taking hold of the matter. The movement seems to savor more of business than of poli- tics, and the canal men in this section believe that with careful business management at its back the canal still standsachance. The re- sult of the convention in Washington county will probably determine those interested here us to what course is best to pursue in solving the problem that involves the future of the great ditch. If something is not done soon the malaria-producing condition of the ditch will probably do the solving itself. A number of valuable and lave gr- gs aya lutionary relics have been loaned to his- torical committee of the coming Maryland ex- ition in Baltimore by Miss Adah ae formerly of this city and a sister of Capt. W. Scott Schley. Among them is a beer mug which Gen. Washington drank out of on his way through New Jerey to his inauguration, « buckle from a British army belt found at Brandywine by Capt. Jacob Schley, and a gavel used by the Speaker to call together at the time it took action = the death of President William Henry Harrison. The managers of the Frederick County agri- cultural society are agreeably surprised at the large number of applications being received from exhibitors for space ir the exhibition buildings at the coming fair. The floral and poultry departments and department of do- mestic pets will be especially large. The man- agers are also booking new attractions to serve as features of entertainment for the people. A good deal of gratification is felt by the taxpayer here over the announcement that the public schools this year will be kept open a half term rE than last. Even with this exten- sion of the time the term will end in May. ow- ing to the usual poverty of the annual school appropriation—a state of affairs that has ex- isted here several years, Owners of horse flesh in Frederick county are alarmed by the number of fatal diseases that at at preseut among the animals. The latest is a species of apoplexy or heart disease, from the effects of which the horses drop down in the fields or stables dead. John Nichols, a witness wanted by the state in the Show-Hooper murder case, escaped from the custody of a deputy last night by jumping from the second-story window of the house where he had been detained. He made good his escape. Mrs, Samuel Garber, an old lady and wife of the former proprietor of the hotel at Wever- ton, was struck by a freight train on the Balti- more and Ohio and received fatal injuries. Miss Lettie 8.
