A sad sight was presented in the Police Court yesterday afternoon when Mrs. Cook was ar- Taigued for neglecting her children, The story of her having been found ‘dead drunk” in the midst of her starving children was told in yes- terday’s Stax, “I have done all that I could do for them.” she replied when Clerk Clagett arraigned her. The youngest of the children had been sent to the Miner institute, but the other three were in court. Their bodies were scarcely covered with foul rags. They were eating cakes given them by Officer Quinlan. The mother exhib- ited not the slightest sign of shame while the little children attempted to cover their faces from the eyes of a hundred sympathizing Spectators. Policeman Henry and Officer O'Neill told the court of the destitute condition in which the children were found and also of the drunken- ess of the mother. The young child, which is being temporarily cared for in the Miner institute, is about twelve months old. Officer Henry told the court that that child was found lying on the floor with not a stitch of clothing on its body. JUDGE MILLS saID that common humanity required the court to commit these children to the care of some in- Stitution. It is a heartrending sight to see little children in this pitia- ble condition. The mother is entirely incapable of caring for them and they are, _ “hay committed to the custody of Officer would ask,” said Officer O'Neill, “‘that the court order their commitment to the Washing- ton City orphan asylum.” The court granted the request, Saag ars Transfers of Real Estate.

Keefe Loses Another Game for Wash- ington. AN UNINTERESTING CONTEST AT CAPITAL PARK YESTERDAY—OTHEB GAMES—HOW THE BECORD STANDS—NOTES OF THE BALL FIELD—PITCHER KEEFE FINED BY THE MANAGEMENT. The Senators dropped the third straight game to Cleveland yesterday, the score being 9 to6, Keefe, Haddock and Mack, and Gruber and Zimmer were the batteries. Keefe lost the game by bimeelf without any aid from the rest of the team, who played a good game of ball in the face of such miserable pitching. Cleveland played a waiting game, that being most profite- ble. The visitors stood at the plate with bats in their hands and let the red-faced young man throw balls northward. Very few of them went in the vicinity of the plate, and long Connie Mack was kept on the jump from the start. Haddock played right field in Beecher’s ab- sence. Daly playing first for Carney, who is still troubled bya lame knee. In the fourth inning, when Keefe pe no — of Peon up in his great act of forcin runs, tain Irwin called Haddock in from the fiel sent Keefe out in his place. Haddock was a decided improvement, but the game was lost. Jolfn Irwin played a good game at third, and Daly's work at first was very fine, Cleveland could not field very well, ‘sat had the States- men been able to hit the ball in the least at the right time they might have won in spite of the great handicap, THE GAME. Both teams started out to score, With John Irwin, who headed the list, and Hoy out, Wil- mot reached first on and stole second, scoring on Wise’s single into right and Rad- ford’s tumble, Wise tried to make second ona passed ball and failed. Radford went to first on balls and started to run just as Stricker hit to Haddock, who caught the ball, Radford was then on second and began to dig back to first. Haddock threw badly to Daly, and what might have been an easy double play was spoiled, Radford getting back to second on the wild throw. McKean went to first on balls, and after Twitchell had flied out to Wilmot Tebean did the same. With the bases full McAleer hit safely to Wilmot, driving Radford and McKean home. On Wilmot’s fumble he reached second and Tebeau third. Keefe again filled the bases by presenting Faatz with four balls, and then, amid the combined chatter and hooting of the three base runners and two coachers, Zimmer ended the agony by hitting to Arthur Irwin and going out af first. The second inning was unproductive, the visitors going out in order, but in the third the Senators made a couple of runs. Stricker fumbied Keefe’s hard liner and Brother Jolin hit safely past Faatz. A passed ball sent the men ahead abase apiece and Hoy sacrificed to Radford, Zimmer d the ball at the plate and Keefe was safe, Wilmot took first on balls and stole second, Irwin scoring on a sacrifice by Wise to McKean. Three Cleveland men were put out in quick turn in the latter half, For Washing- ton in the fourth Haddock made a cleun single after two were out and Keefe hit an easy one to Stricker, THEN CAME THE CLIMAX of heartrendering calamities, the most villain- ous pitching seen here this year. McAleer and Faatz hit into right for a base each, Had- dock making a beautiful stop of the last hit, ‘Then Zimmer cracked one at Keefe, who could not handle it, aud the bases were full. About seven Cleveland voices were going at ouce, making the air hideous with sound. The re- sult was that Keefe utterly lost his head and gave three bases on balls, forcing in as many runs. Arthur Irwin called a halt at this point and Haddock and Keefe changed places. Mc- Kean hit to Arthur Irwin and forced Gruber at the plate, the first put out. Haddock then had the misfortune to hit Twitchell and one more run was forced in. Tebean popped up a fly for John Irwin, and. with the bases atill full, Mc- Aleer hit to Arthur and forced Twitchell at second. Thus ended a disgraceful inning. In the fifth, after John Irwin flied to I'witch- ell, Hoy hit safely. It was a ecratch, the ball going between Faatz and Stricker, Both rau for it and the little man got it, digging for the base. Hoy won the sprint by afoot. Wilmot then went to first on balls for the third time, Wise died to McKean aud Arthur Irwin's base on balls filled the diamond, Mack hit to Mc- Kean und Arthur was forced, the decision being very doubtful. Brother Jobn and Tom Daly put out the visi- tors in their half all by themselves, and in the sixth but six men went to the bat, TRICKY PLAYING. In the seventh, with John Irwin out, Hoy reached first on balls and went to second on a passed ball. Then occurred a bit of “funny business” that but few people understood. There was a short wait, the ball being held at second. All of a sudden Hoy was off like a shot for third, which he reached safely, while half of the Cleveland team charged upon Um- ire Knight with their mouths open and mak- ing noise, Paatz leading. They talked for about five minutes, telling the umpire in the loudest kind of style that roy had slapped the bail out of Stricker's hand. Mr. Knight “couldn't see it” and waved them back, Hoy, meanwhile, was sitting on third and telling Tebeau, by motions, how it happened. For a wonder Tebeau did not enter the talking match at the plate, which was ended at last by Fuatz taking a drink of water and going back to his bag. Wilmot hit a bounder to Faatz after sev- eral vicious fouls, and Hoy was run down be- tween third and home, Wilmot taking second. Wise’s sky-scraper dropped into McAleer’s hands and then dropped out again and Wilmot scored; Arthur Irwin flied to Twitchell. Had- dock gave Twitchell and Tebeau bases on balls in the last half and the crowd—it was rather a group—thought there was to be another farce, But McAleer flied to Wilmot and Faatz hit an ugly one to brother John, who grabbed it, touched third, thus putting ‘Twitchell out, and threw to Daly in time to catch Faatz, IX THE EIGHTH, With two out Haddock reached first in the eighth on Tebeau’s error, but Keefe struck out. Then Zimmer flied to brother John, Gruber went to first on balls, Radford hit safely into left, a wild pitch sent them ahead a base, and both scored on Stricker’s wicked hit through Capt. Arthur. McKean's double into right sent Stricker home, but McKean was caught at the plate a moment later and Twitchell went out at first. Three runs were scored, The visitors gave the home teain a couple of runs in the ninth to sweeten the E Brother John and Hoy were out when Wilmot cracked his first hit into right. Zimmer refused to go uw. behind the bat, and Walter trotted around ie bases, stealing second, third and home without molestation. Then Wise hit to McKean and beat the ball to the base. He also stole second, Zimmer having now put on his mask, but a passed ball let him score and Arthur Irwin struck out. Washington made 6 hits and 2 errors, and Cleveland 7 hits and 3 errors, OTHER GauEs. Chicago plunged the Phillies still deeper into the fourth-place soup by taking the third game, 15 to 8. The batteries were Tener and Farrell, and Anderson, Sanders, Fogarty, and Schriver. Chi 4 errors, ‘hicago made 20 hits and and Philadelphia 13 hits and 5 errors, New Ycrk practically tied Boston by defeating Pittsburg 7 to 2.

How.the Northeast Section is Patrolled— The Talk at the Station House. The people of northeast Washington are well satisfied with the police protection they receive since the establishment of the ninth police district, That precinct comprises all the ter- ritory east of lst street east to the Eastern branch, and north of East Capitol street to the Boundary, Thirty men do duty within these limits, Lieut. D. H. Teeple, who is in com- mand, has lived in that section of the city for a number of years and is familiar with the needs of the people. Sergeants Burgess, Wall and McTaggart are on duty in the precinct and see that the privates perform their duty. WHY POLICEMEN DID NOT LIKE IT. Wher the precinct was first established there were not many officers who wanted to do duty in it, principally on account of the unimproved condition of most of the streets. In dry weather the dust is so bad that clothing is in- jured and in wet weather the mud makes some of the streets almost impassuble, When Lieut. Teeple assumed command of the new precinct he r nized the fact that many of the men objected to going on duty there for various reasons and started out to reconcile them. In this he succeeded and the precinct is now working as smoothly as possible. The station is on street, not far from Maryland avenue, The location is at present a lonely one, but there are many new buildings being erected in the neighborhood. IMPROVEMENTS IN PROSPECT. Aneffort is being made to have 9th street concreted, because with an earth roadway in front of the station it is impossible to keep the building clean. The stable in the rear of the station is nearly completed and when that is finished a concrete approach to the building will be laid, The patrol wagon will be at the station ready for use not later than the 20th instant and then the precinct will be complete in every particu- lar. An arrangement bas been made whereby risoners arrested in the fifth precinct, near ‘nuning, can be brought to the ninth precinct in the patrol wagon. That will obviate the socom. ot having officers escorting prisoners two or three miles to Uniontown. The officers have talked >* opening a gym- mens on a small oe es wbabiy ontioty the uecessary room they wil ‘ol ly themuclres with @ pool or Billided table. AN ADVENTURE WITH A BAZOR-BACK. While sitting in the station last evening Lieut, Teeple told of a trip he made to Alabama when he was sanitary officer. He went to the interior of that state with a partly cured insane man. After leaving the manin charge of his family he started back for the nearest railroad station. To reach it he took a short cut through the woods. He had three miles to walk. When he had gotten balf way through the forest he ped to rest. Presently he was startled by pect noise, which he a supposed was made by some wild animal. ‘The noise, he admitted, alarmed him and he hardly knew what todo. At first he thought of running; but there was not a house in sight, and he thought a stand was better than a bad run. So he drew his revolver. He was then facing the creature. What it was he could not make out. The animal was tall and narrow, had long legs and long ears. The lieutenant put on a bold front and the animal walked quietly about its business, It was a razor-back 10g. THE RECENT SHOOTING CASE, The recent shooting by Officer Cutler is the cause of much amusement among the officers, Officer Cutler takes their fun good-naturedly, but his partner, Officer Hodges, does not re- gard the matter as such @ joke. He is glad that he did not catch the builet from Cutler's pistol, but be is still grumbling because his partner accused him of having told the re- Porters of the shooting, a Real Estate Matters.

We cannot determine how much tax should be paid, because the umber of our dogs varies greatly from time to time. ‘We sometimes have only ten (10) dogs, and again we have as many as forty (40).

On returning er to the back stairway, which during the work of improvement on the build- ing is the only entrance to the upper story, the officer found the window blinds had been moved, aud, on investigation, it was discovered that the store had been robbed and the thief had fled while the officer was taking young Palmer to the station house. About $5 was taken from the drawer in the grocery depart- ment; but, it appears that, fearing arrest after his supposed pal was taken by the officer, the thief left $30 im the drawer in the shoe de- parment, Praxixe with Fiae.—Several little children from three to five yeurs of age amused them- selves yesterday by building a fire of rubbish in the feed house connected with Geo.

The woman was sent to the Chambers street hospital for treat- ment, tay nid Clerk Harriot will hold the money for the nt. ‘The woman's recovery is very doubtt In case she should die the money will pass into the hands of the public administrator, who will advertise for the heirs, No one in the neighborhood kuew the woman. —_—__ RR oO y A Mi y At Pe ie F S44 BBI A K U NNN OGG bas EK ORAM OSE EO Eaee BS ET pr 8 Sy BB Foe PAY BP EL Pe: This powder never varies.
