A POLICEMAN’S GROWL. He Says There is Unfair Discrimination in Granting Leaves of Absence to Officers The policemen in some of the precincts are complaining of the manner in which leaves of absence are being granted. One of the officers who spoke to a Star reporter about the matter thought that one officer was entitled to as much as another, so long as he attended to his duty. In some precincts, he said, the officers have no trouble in getting a few days off exch summer, while in others the men were Incky if they could get off long enough to goon a day's ex- eursion. The men, he thought, were all en- titled to thirty days in a year, just as well as the lieutenants of the force and other employes of the District government. In his precinct, he said, it is difficult for an officer to get off. but the lieutenant never has any trouble in going off every now and th.n. He thought that there should be a uniform rule adopted concerning the granting of leaves ofabsence. He would be satisfied with asingle week each year, if that was the length of the leave to be granted each man annually, but he certainly was opposed to the present system. Some men can get ten or fifteen days each year or two. while others find it almost impossible to get much more than that number oF, minutes, He did not think this added to the efficiency of the force. —— Excurstos To Battrwore.—The B. and O.

A colored man named Abrabam Walton came here from Kansas City a few days ago to work on the cable road on 7th street. Yester- day he drank some whisky. He found the liquor strouger than he had been in the habit of drinking and Policeman Reagan arrested him. When tried in the Police Court this morning Walton promised not to drink auy more liquor while he remained in Washington, and the judge took his personal bonds, Our Seldicr Boys Home Again. The well-worn measures of “Home Again” sounded oa the air yeste iy evening shortiy before 9 o'clock when. the Washington Light Infantry and the Corcoran Cadets marched out of the Pennsylvania depot and tramped up the avenue. There were noisy words of welcome from thousands of friends on the sidewalks and every few yards there were clouds of briliantly- illuminated smoke. The escort consisted of the “stay-at-homes” of the Infantry, commanded by Capt. Ourand; Corcoran Cadets, who pre- ferred Washington to Atlantic City; National Fencibles, Capt. C. 8. Domer; Merchant Rifles, Capt. Costinett, and the Peabody Cadets, Lieut. McGowen. The National Fencibles were pre- ceded by their cornet corps. At the Hotel Randall the Intuntry partook of a collation pre- pared for them by Mr. Leisering, who was their host. and they enjoyed themselves im- mensely. Col. Moore, Major Dalton, and Mr. Leisering made brief speeches and then the boys wenthome. The Corcoran Cadets were included in the invitation to the feast, but there Was @ misunderstanding somewhere and they went right on to their armory. — Exccnsioy To Covey Istaxp axp New Yorn. — A special train of day coaches and parlor cars will leave Baltimore and connection will be made by boats of the iron steamboat company for Coney Island.

OTHER GAMES YESTERDAY—THE BRACE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP PENNaNT—BOW THE CLUBS STAND—IMMENSE CROWDS AT THE GAMES— BALL NOTES. Washington’s Senators were not in their best form yesterday and the game they lost to the Cleveland Infants, 5 to 2, was by no means a good exhibition, taken as a whole. There were times when the local leaguers showed asnap that was remarkable, making several beautiful plays and then again they went backward. The batteries were Keefe and Daly and Beatin and Sutcliffe. Keefe’s wild pitching virtually lost the game and would have done so with the best of support, Beatin was pretty effective against the Senators, who hit in hard luck, putting up flies for the fielders that should have been safe hits. Wilmot especially, was a sufferer in this regard, the two of his hits that were not safe being caught after phenomenal efforts. Carney reappeared on first, but did not show up in wonderful shape. Beecher'’s place in right was filled by Mack, the former having been called away again by the serious illness of his child at Hartford, THE FEATURES OF THE GAME were the good batting and fielding of Wilmot, Stricker’s wonderful second-base play, the work of McAleer and Hoy in center field and Daly's backstopping, all of which deserve high raise, i In the first with Wise out Hoy went to first on balls and was thrown out trying to steal. Then Wilmot rapped a triple to the club house end waited on third while McAleer made a catch of Mack's fly. Radford wonderful reached first on Carney’s muff, but just as Daly caught Stricker'’s third strike he made an ignommions failure of an attempt to steal, and then McKean struck out. Neither side scored in the second, Daly making a single with two out. Washington made one run inthe third. Keefe was out on a fly, Sam Wise hit safely and was forced at second by Hoy, Then Wilmot made another three-base hit, this time to the right-field cor- ner, the ball coming within an ace of bounding over the fence. Mack went out from Tebeau to Faatz. In the latter half after Faatz had hit safely and Sutcliffe flied to Hoy, Beatin hit down to Arthur Irwin, near second, and the little man touched the bag and threw to Car- ney, making a quick Couble play that captured the grounds. THE FOURTH. With two out in the fourth Daly went to first on balls, but was left. Radford waa given his base and Stricker flied to Hoy. McKean lined one out into right at the moment Rad- ford started to steal and the men went to secondand third. Twitchell’s sacrifice liner to Wise, which was beautifully stopped and thrown, scored Radford. and Tebeau’s two bagger sent in the other run. ard luck struck the Senators in the fifth. With two out Hoy went to first on balls and Wilmot banged a ball toward the center fence that would probably ha been a two bagger but for McAleer’s wonder- ful running catch, ending the inning. Fuatz, after hitting safely, was the victim of another beautiful double play in the latter half, Jobn Irwin making great pick up of Sut- cliffe’s bounder and throwing to Arthur, who assed the ball along in time to Carney. Then atin struck out. In the sixth Washington scored one and should have had another, Mack made a pretty single, but died on second when Arthur Irwin hit to McKean. Arthur went around to third on the wild ball McKean shot down to Faatz, and scored on Brother John’s sacrifice to short. Daly went to first on balls and worked his way around by stealing within « few inches of third, where he met the ball. CLEVELAND WON THE GAME in the seventh. Tebeaustruck out and McAleer went to first on balls, stealing second and | scoring on Faatz's single. Then Sam Wise | made a beautiful catch of Sutcliffe’s foul, | Beatin reached first on an error, but Carney caught Radford’s pop-up. In the eighth Hoy made a clean hit, went to second on Wilmot'’s ball to Radford, which shou'd have been a agger, and to third on Mack's sacrifice er, Who made a wonderful stop of an apparently safe bit. Arthur Irwin left him thare, putting up a fly for Twitchell. The visitors riveted their hold on the game in their half. making two runs, Stricker's hit | and Hoy’s fumble, John Irwin's error and | Twitchell’s single made one, and then Keefe filled the bases with a base on bails and forced arun in with another. Wilmot made a mar- velous catch in this inning of a short fly from Faatz and held the three men on the bases. Tn the ninth, with John Irwin out, Daly went to first on balls for the third time and went ahead on Beatin’s bad throw to first. Carney | flied to McAleer and Keefe hit another one into the same territory, which McAleer muffed after ahard run. Keefe was thrown out at second just before Daly scored. Washington made 6 hits and 5 errors and Cleveland 7 hits and 4 errors, OTHER Games, New York took two games from Pittsburg. The score of the first, noted in yesterdays Star, was 9 to 6, The second score was 11 to 0. Keefe and Brown and Galvin and Miller were the bat- teries.

Unless there is a hitch in the arrangements, astrike among the stellar scene shifters, or miscalculation of figures, the planet Jupiter will tonight disappear behind the moon and re- Sppear on the other side. He has performed this feat before in company with others of his set, many and many a time, until his move- ments are known and can be foretold to a scien- tific nicety, WHERE THE PLANET WILL DISAPPEAR. The spot selected for the planet's plunge into the retirement offered by the moon is the east- ern edge of the lunar disc, which is now in the shadow. Of course the presence of the earth’s clouds in the atmosphere will not deter Jupiter in the least from performing the feat. He will go on with the performance, rain or sbine. The performance will begin promptly at 9:43:36 after dark, unless something should oc- cur between now and then to prevent the fol- lowing of the schedule. At the instant named Jupiter will begin to disappear behind what will seem to the unaidedeye to be a wall of nothing, and in another minute will have gone from sight. Then there will be an intermis- sion of about forty-eight minutes, during which Jupiter will obnobbing with his moons on that side of our moon that is forever turned from us, He will come forth again on the bright edge of the moon at 10:31:45, and then the perform- ance will close, 2 TO OBSERVE THE OCCULTATION. The occultation, which is the earthly name given to the feat, is of no especial importance to the scientific world, although some astrono- mers may take photographs of the disappearance ong peappesrance with a hope of obtaining additional data to aid in determining whether or not the moon has an atmosphere. For this purpose of observations .in this city the two equatorial telescopes at the naval observatory will be used. The occultation will be quite visible to the naked eye, and a pair of ordinary opera es will enable the observer to dis- tinguish the moons of Jupiter. BUYING AMERICAN BREWERIES. Why Englishmen Think Such Invest- ments Promise Profit. A recent issue of the London Financial News reports a meeting held by the Washington brewery company, limited, at which Mr. Edward Rawlings, the chairman, made a report respecting a brewery plant recently purchased in this city. Mr. Rawlings is reported as saying in the course of his remarks that they had taken all the necessary steps to form a com- pany in America, which had to be done in order to comply with the iegal obligations of American trading, which was purely a matter ofform. The Americans, he said, had adopted the German system of brewing almost entirely through the United States. The fact was that beer had become the national drink. In 1875 the output of lager beer was 8,000,000 barrels; in 1859 it was 25,000,000 barrels, and it had gone on increasing year by year from 8,000,000 to 9,000,000, 9,000,000 to 10,000,000, and so on, no one year did it show a diminution. They were giving up, to an extent, the use of spirits, and beer was becoming the great national drink of the country. He thought that, looking at these figures with regard to the past and the indica- tion which they showed for the future, and taking into consideration the enormous size of America and the increase of population, it was very fair to calculate that not only had Ameri- can beer been a great success in the past. but it would be a still greater success in the future. Referring to the question of prohibition, he did not think that was a matter with which they need concern themselves, more particularly as it would not affect them in Washington. Some people had asked why American brewers wished to get rid of their properties. To that he would reply that Americans, as a rule, were engaged in business and had not among them the class of investing public the English had. They did not want to go, he said, into any other business than their own. The United States laws were not so formed as togive people the same oppor- tunity of forming hmited Fiability companies, Again, he was asked, why did they sell at such aprice asto enable investorsin England to bay property that would enable them to pay a larze dividend? To that he would answer that most of these people had begun in an humble way, aud, baving found that capital wan con- tinually required to meet the increasing de- mands of their business. were quite willing to dispose of that business, taking back their original investments and holding a profit on the business done. Another question was asked, Whether Americans did not object to foreigners buying up their interests? He found that Atericans were only too glad that the English should take an interest in their country. ——n The Festival at the Schuetzen Park. A large crowd of enthusiastic people were present yesterday afternoon at the opening ceremonies of the sixth annual festival of the Cannstatter Volksfest Vorein at the Schuetzen park. Decorations were plentiful, but the most striking of them all was a buge column of fruit, cereals and vegetables nearly 30 feet high. It was the work of Mr. Rudolph Reh, Games of all descriptions were in progress, and there was plenty to eat and drink. At the dedi- cation of the fruit column there were speeches by Mr. Simon Wolf and Mr. Hugo Kirschner. The festival will close this evening. Stupefied With Laudanum. Yesterday afternoon Officer Clarke of the second precinct found at the corner of 6th and N streets northwest a man named John McGill in a stupor and took him to the station. A two-ounce vial about one-third filled with laudanum was found in his pocket. Dr. English went to work to resuscitate him, and in about an hour got him out of bis stupor and he was sent to his home. He is about thirty- five years old, is a blacksmith, and with his fam: a wife and children—res.des at 1721 5th street northwest. His family state that he has taken laudanum frequently of late, and it - thought that he accidentally took an over- lose, ‘ Go ow Frrpay anp Satcrpay Eventno to Marshall Hall excursion.

To the Fditor of Tux HvENTSG Star: In reply to your communication in a recent issue of Tue Star entitled “Old Clerks in Ofive.” I burdly think that the official you spenk of docs them justice in a great many re- spects, Old age is honorable if a man hs made g00d use of it. If we intend to run the depart- ments upon business principles and under civil service rales let us do it, in the name of justice, humanity and in conformity wich the law. ‘There are a very few of the old clerks left in the departments at the present time, and as a general thing they are as efficient and active in performing the various duties assigned to them 4s the younger ones, If they are not able to do this I am sure no reasonable one among them would object to a reduction of his salary, But after & man has spent the better part of his life- time in office and put in a third more over- time than the official hours called for, thereby injuring bis health and incapacitating him from doing work or finding employment out- side of the department, I think it ia unjust in the government to turn him out in the world like an old horse to grass without any visible means of support or provision whatever to keep body and soul together. ‘This is not the way that our large mercantile and manufacturi: establishments throughout the country reward their faithful employes.

Two Virginia Couples Married at the Court House This Morning. The first of the District courts to resume business after the summer vacation was the Equity Court, which was convened this morn- ing for the September term by Justice Cox. At the hour of 9 o’clock members of the bar were preparing for the business of the day, andover a bundred persons were in waiting for a civil service examination in the Circuit Court room. when a party of five—three young men and two young ladies—appeared at the clerk’s office and presented an application, not for civil service examination, but for license to marry. They were Wm. Powell and Julia Lewis, both of Charlottesville, Va, ; Chas. C. Sullivan and Annie Bell Drummett, both of Fredericksburg, Va., and « male friend of the two couples, The licenses were soon issued. The Equity Court room, in which the marriage relation is often dissolved. was opened by Mr. Luxen as an ap- propriate place for the impending ceremony, and Rev. Mr. Bailey of the civil service com- mission was called in. In a short time an audi- ence composed of lawyers, candidates for gov- ernment positions, court officers and other per- sons was gathered. Rev. Bailey, being some- what pressed for time, directed the parties to stand up, and he married the couples ‘two at a clip.” They received the hearty congratulations of the assembled spectators, and left for a day's sight seeing, while the larger portion of the witnesses proceeded to wrestle with civil service conundrums. The bride-grooms were each twenty-one years old and the brides each eight- een, and both couples took this important step in their careers without informing their Vir- ginia relatives and friends, for whom a surprise is in store. ——_—_—___ STREETS IN THE NORTHEAST. Improvements That the Citizens’ Asso- ciation Will Recommend. The Citizens’ association of Northeast Wash- ington last night at the Peabody school build- ing received a report from the committee on streets, giving a list of streets in the northeast section to be recommended to the District Commissioners for approval, The whole even- ing was spent in discussing the proposed sched- ule and as finally adopted it was as follows: To be paved—lIst, from C to Chicago street; 2d, from C to H; 4th street, from Massachusetts avenue to F street; 5th, from D to E;7th street, from Maryland avenue to Boundary street; 8th street, from Massachusetts avenue to H street; 9th, from East Capitol to B; 9th street, from Maryland avenue to Boundary street; 10th, from East a to C; F, from 3d to 4th; D street, from Delaware avenue to 4th street. To be graded and regulated—G, from 6th to 7th; Letreet, from Delaware avenue to 7th street; 8th, from I to K; B, from 14th to 19th; A, from 11th to 14th; 11th, from C to Boundary; 4th, from F to H; 12th street, from Maryland avenue to Boundury street; 5th, from E to H; 13th, from H to Boundary; D str tee avenue. It was decided to ask that provision be made inthe general schedule for paving Massa- chusetts avenue from North Capitol to 4th and from 8th to Lincoln park and for grading an regulating Tennessee avenue. THE BOUNDARY, Mr. 8, C. Clarke rather staggered the associ- ation by asking to have the grading and regu- lating of Boundary from North Capitol to 15th street included. Mr. Clarke urged that this street was the longest ina straight line and naturally one of the finest in the city, The portion in the northwest section had been im- proved, and he thought it would conduce greatly to the welfare of the northeast to have the eastern part graded and regulated. The members of the association, however, were generally opposed to the proporition. Mr. Clarke thought the association should = ask for more improvements in that part of the city to be charged against the general schedule. The street committee Was instructed to present the schedule adopted to the Commissioners, after arranging the list in the order of importance. A letter was read from Mr. W. C. Dodge declining, on account of ubsence from the city, to act asa member of the committee on schools and of the committee on water and sewers. Mr. W. T. Jones was ap- pointed in Mr. Dodge's place on the school committee and Mr. E.

Cleveland Special to the New York Sun. The records of the bankruptcy court for the northern district of Ohio for the year 1878 bear the petition in bankruptcy of one John Hester. The Hester case, as it was called, was the most interesting and romantic one ever brought) betore the court of this district. e story, as related to the writer by the register of the court at that time, is as follows: John Hester was a well-to-do farmer of Hu- ron county, Ohio. He had one pretty daughter, who was sent to the Oberlin school. ‘There she attracted the attention of un untamed ‘eee from Michigan. whose wealthy parents id intrusted him to the reformatory energies of Oberlin, and no sooner had the youth de- clared his sudden passion than, without writ- ing for the sanction of the Michigan parents, she hied him to her father’s home in Huron county and married him on the instant. The young man’s parents were at first obdurate but it was not long until the yante people were in- vited to dwell under their roof. All went smoothly for some time. The young husband seemed a miracle of reformatory zeal. and a pee of trustin his father’s bank was given im, But soon he begansagain to fiud vice at- tractive, and one moruing, while the wife had gone on a visit to her happy childhood’s home in Huron county, he was missing from the bank, and so was $70,000 of the bank’s money, It wax supposed that’ he had gone to hia wife, but that young woman and the Hesters pro- fessed such entire ignorence of his where- abouts and such grief over his sins that the detectives were led into other paths of inquiry. After several weeks of truitless search, how- ever, aclue was given them which led to the | suspicion that the fugitive was making fforts | to have his wife join him. On a certain day the officers were in Mansfield, where they «us- pected an appointment had been made, Sure enough, Hester and his daughter alighted from an omnibus before the hotel, and in a few minutes a single carriage drove up with one man init. Tbe young woman made a rush for the carriage, but the officers were there first. Considerable resistance to arrest was offered by the young fellow, who was armed, aud in the excitement John Hester walked rapidly out into the open country with a portmanteau in his hand. [t was ascertained afterward that Hester, who was then an old man, walked in that day and part of the next the entire dis- tance that lay between Mansfield and his home in Huron county—about forty miles, ‘The young man was taken back to Michigan, tried and sentenced to a term of years in the penitentiary, but no trace of the money was found. Within a few months after his imprison- ment he escaped from the peniteutiary with a horse thief, who introduced him into his line of business and into genteel bouse breaking. After a few weeks of partnership this precious pair of scamps, while hiding one night in « swamp, fell into a dispute over a valuable watch, which belonged to neither. In the struggle which followed the young Michiga: der was stabbed to the heart, «nd in the mor: his dead body was found by the oificers in the swamp. ‘the horse thicf was afterward traced by means of the watch and was tried and hanged for murder. In the meantime warrants for John Hester’s arrest were sworn ont, but a trial for complicit; in the robbery proved eres Sepnarred him, oa he was released. Following suit war against Hester to by the de; tors of the recover their property. It was at this jancture, and to save himself from liability, that Hester fi’ | his petition in bankruptcy. Envestigution by ther ‘ster of the court showed that he was not justified in bankruptcy, and the petition was not granied, The suit went on.

Panis, August 19, Tae Werscy Sra is alwa: ery welcome arrival. It reaches us about 9 p.m. and we al- ways sit up to finish the paper tne night of its arrival, After wading through several Paris papers daily it is decidedly refreshing to find one with more real news than all put together. In the issue of August 6th I noticed an article about Sarah Bern- hbardt headed “As Cruel as a Demon.” One should, it is said, give even the devil his due. So here goes for the explanation of the affair, given me by one who knows Sara very well, We have had a jolly laugh over the story, acopy of which goes to the Bernhardt this morning. This story represents Sara as patting her little dog in » stove and burning im to death. The facts are as follows: It is the most common thing in the world for & lady to punish her little dog by shutting him oP ina cold empty stove. The dog very natur- YY howls at first, and then like a | philos- opher curls up and goes to sleep, hi whines growing fainter and fainter, like those ofa spoiled baby as it drops off to sleep in spite of itselt.

In the last two weeks the attention of the public has been attracted tothe number of ladies of this city who have announced their | intention of forsaking the world by entering the convent doors thrown wide to receive them. It is somewhat strange that among these there are two widows past middle age, who have spent their lives in the midst of the gay world, who are now within the cloister walls, One will take the black veil at the end of her pro- bation and the other has entered to live among the gentle nuns and discover whether her vo- cation lies in that direction. Mrs. T. C. Mitchell, one of the above-men- tioned ladies, is the widow of Mr. Ned Mitchell of this city,and has one child, Miss Mary Mitchell, who was educated in the Sacred Heart convent at Nashville, and who became | 8o enamored of the life of ar use that three ears ago she joined their order and is now frown as Mme. Mitchell. Last October Miss Mitchell took the black veil. Mrs. Mitchell was Miss Cromwell of Baltimore, and has two sisters. Mrs. Gen, Barney gnd Mrs. Haliburton. She does not come empty handed to the home ot her choice, asshe has a comfortable estate left by her husband, which will all probably be donated to the Sacred Heart. While in the world she led so saintly and beautiful a life that she was called “Saint Theresa” by those moet intimate with her, and her sudden deter- mination to leave them was painful blow to thove who loved her best. Mrs, Mitchell isa fine-looking woman, over fifty hamg of age, with hair as white as snow. and a lovely, plac countenance. The pathosof the situation lis in the fact that at any time her beloved daugh- ' ter may be separated from her by an order to join some branch house, Often when the superioress —— of the order is visiting a convent of the order, as she is standing at the door at her departure bidding good-bye to those about her, she will turn to one of the nuns and say: other, take off your apron MATINEES WEDNESDAY AND SATURDAY.

Another widow, Mre, Julia Rogers, widow of the late Dr, Patrick Rogers, one of the pioneer Lysiciaus of St. Louis, has just gone into the Visitation convent for the fea of trying the life there, and if satisfied with her experi- ence of conventual life she will enter as a pos- tulant. She, too, has passed over fiity years in the world, and jost her husband about three months ago. Neither Mrs. Mitchell nor Mrs, Rogers, as widows, can take the white veil, but at the end of their probation will be at once in- vested with the habit of the order, The order of the visitation seems one particularly suited for widows,as it was founded by a widow.
