Umpire McQuaid, s young man who looks somewhat like Jobn Ward, was the central figure of yesterday’s game between the Sen- ators and the Hoosiers, the close of igre characterized as disgraceful. bettie Susagh President Y was present at the game to see the actions of his umpire, which, he afterward declared, had burt base ball. Me id showed himself to be lacking in scbgeneh, oree tA kbowediia: and he was vi ably bulldozed by that prince of kickers, J Glasscock. After the Statesmen had virtually won the in the eighth inning he suc- cumbed to the influence of the foreign power and finally consented to call the score back to the seventh inning, where it rests, The game will go on the, books as having been wou by In- dianapolis, 9 to 7, and it will also go down into history asa monument to the inefficiency of McQuaid, Pore —— He sare’ e — that will, it is hoped, prove wholesome im, for as soon as the crowd realized what he had done the rougher part of it poured into the field and, es, the trembling little man near the home club bench, they made some hostile demonstrations which probably were no more than a good-natured bluff. POLICE PROTECTION. But McQuaid was scared, nevertheless, and in a minute he was surrounded by half a dozen policemen waving their locust clubs and as many black-suited players swinging their bats, while the gray shirts of the Hoosiers made light strenks through the dark mass as their owners broke for shelter. Glasscock barely escaped rough handling and he finally left the ands witha squad of protectors around it McQuaid wasat last hustled into the dressing room and the presence of a burly po- liceman was all that stood between him and a mob of men now angered beyond the biuiling point, for in the first melee a superserviceable “special” had made connection between his club and the head of a man, thus tending to inflame the ssions of his friends to a fighting point. jut the threaten- ing storm inthe clouds and the presence in the enclosure by the gate of a rapidly-increas- ing number of policemen kept the peace until the grounds were cleared. Then, under the cover of the twilight, a small and 8 man policeman left the park and were lost to sight in the darkness. GLASSCOCE’s VICTORY. Glasscock deserves credit for a double vic- tory, for it must be acknowledged that he won a bard sort of game from Washington, and to keep from losing his advantage, he gained a most complete ascendancy over the sugar stores. 5 ous, 731 7th. 1t* Ant arg Ixvitep to ¢ their improved methods of doing work.

E1seman Bnos., 7th and E streets, Havana! Delicious! Fragrant! Umpire McQuaid. The Senators deserve cen- sure for their lax, careless play after they had won the game, and Haddock should have a rap over the knuckles for his work in the box in the third and iourth innings. He and Mack and Rusie and Buckley were the batteries, Washi pounded Rusie almost at will and should have won hands down. The Hoosiers did not Les to bat until after the home team had gained a strong lead and were showin the carelessness of confidence, and in the fift! inning, after some decidedly saffron work by almost the whole home team had enabled them to tie the score, they batted outa win- ning advantage. HOW THE SCORES WERE MADT. Neither side could score in the first and in the second Washington exhibiteda fine streak of batting and made four runz, Arthur Irwin, Mack and Daly hit for a base each, just out of reach of the fielders. and Haddock cleared the bases with a neat double to the left field fence, scoring on Brother John’s hard drive to the other side. Hoy’s hit scored John. Glasscock a double into right and made the circuit of the bases on Daly’s wild throw in. McGeachy and Bassett each hit for a base afterward, but the former was thrown out at the plate.’ In the third a double by Seery, almost caught by Wilmot, anda muff by Hoy gave the Hoosiers another run and they made two more in the fourth. Rusie was hit and stole second, making third on a passed ball, which was nota passed ball. The wind was blowing a gale and Haddock could do no bet- ter for Seery, two men being out, than four bad balls, Andrews then shot a ball right through Arthur Irwin and the scored was tied. Denny —— tell; anda bib B Mack's single, a passe and a hit by Haddock put the home team in the lead again in the 5th, but it was fora few minutes only, for the Hoosiers did some batting in their halt and made three runs. Glasscock’s double, Buckley's base on balls, singles by McGeachy and Bassett, and Hines’ sacrifice did the busi- ness. Bassett was put out at the plate trying to score on a short passed ball. THE VISITORS INCREASED THEIR LEAD and won the game in their half of the 6th by making two runs by meant of Andrew's two bagger, Glasscock’s single, Buckley’s being hit by the ball, this filling the bases. and then Mc- —- single into right, and Beecher’s bad row. The Senators reduced the lead in the seventh by some more pretty batting. Dewey's error ES Wise a base and after two were out Daly ocked a ball into the club house corner for three bases, scoring himself on Haddock’s sec- ond double along the left line. Andrews made @ superb catch of Brother John’s tly and ended the inning. WRANGLING WITH THE UMPIRE. Then Giasscock began his wrangling with the “umpire,” claiming that it was too dark to see the ball, that the wind was too high and there was too much dust in the air. The umpire didn’t believe him, but he made no effort to have the game go on, as rule 56 of the book orders him. He could have commanded Glase- cock to go on with the play or forfeit the game, Children's Department, second ‘. CITY AND DISTRICT. AMUSEMENTS TONIGHT.

Instead, he st arguing, “playing law; ipa ok the crowd Myo to - ow its teeth an ie ed to get a Hoosier batsman at the plate. The side, after many intervals of talk.was put out, and then Jack, the Rustler, began his most scientific dilatory tac- tics. More talk was the first course of the eighth, and then a slice or two of returning rea- son on the part of the umpire quickly followed by more weakness. For over fifteen minutes of valuable time this man let Glasscock bulldoze him, the latter making headway all the time, for the darkness was falling. It was stillamply light enough to play, but McQuaid did not have the sand to enforce the rules, At last the play went on and Hoy made a single past Glasscock, who immediately put in another claim for darkness, ‘Ten minutes more were wasted and then Wil- mot oe a safe ball into right field corner for three bases, More valuable time was frit- tered away in talk, and as soon as Buckley consented togo up to the bat again he man- aged to get hit on the finger, and succeeded in taking ut ten more minutes.

Wise easily made second on ascratch hit that nobody tried to get, and seored on Arthur Irwin's little ball, Arthur might have trotted around without hindrance, but, with two runs in the lead, he wanted his side out, so he ran out of line and was, wonder- fully enough, called out by McQuaid, who did the same for Mack and Daly. This was the for another long kick by Capt. Jack, and it was five minutes before An- drews would take his place at the bat.

What Rev. Dr. Addison Says of the Mar- riage of Mrs. Vernon P. Clayton. Mrs, Vernon P, Clayton, the young wife who was abandoned in New York by her husband, as heretofore published in Tue Sran, is o Washington gir! and was married in this city abouta week ago. There was something un- usual about the marriage that attracted especial attention. Rev. Dr. Addison, rector of Trinity (P.E.) church, was sitting in his parlor one afternoon when two young men appeared, each accom- panied by a young woman. They had two mar- riage licenses and wanted to get married. The young man who presented himself as Vernon P. Clayton was a good-looking young man, while the lady of his choice was also handsome. Her name was given as Miss Frances Maspero. The men were half brothers, they said, and the pas women claimed to be sisters, Vernon . Clayton and Frances Maspero and James Richardson and Marie Maspero were thereupon married. They were all of age and there was nothing to prevent their union, Clayton told Dr. Addison that he was a member of the ma- rine corps. He wore an officer's undress coat during the marriage service. Dr, Addison said that Clayton’s appearance was that of a gentle- man and he never imagined he could be such @ scamp ashe had turned out to bo. He had learned since the marriage that Clayton had served in the marine corps, but not under the name of Clayton. A COAST SURVEY SCANDAL. Charges of Corruptiun Against B, A. Colonna—He Denies and Explains. Mr. Howard J. Schneider, draughtsman formerly employed in the coast survey office, has written a letter to the Secretary of the Treasury charging corruption in office on the part of B. A. Colonna, assistant in charge of the bureau, and E. H. Fowler, a draughtsman. He charges that he had to contribute money to Colonna and make a present to Fowler in order to keep his place in the bureau. He says he did work for the Boston and Maine railway company, for which $204 was paid by the treasurer of the company, and that of that sum Colonna received $50. Other specifica- tions are similar in character. Mr. Colonna denies the charges. He says work done for outside parties has tobe paid for. An estimate is made of the cost and a de- posit of the amount required. The sums, he says, deducted.usin the cases cited by Schneider, were the differences between the actual cost of the work and the estimates, which were greater, and the money so deducted was returned to the parties making the excessive payment. ornate IN THE POLICE COURT. Judge Mills on “Personal Bonds?— Some of the Cases Tried Today. There were two dozen and three prisoner# in the Police Court this morning. Most of them were old offenders, and had warmed the iron benches in court many times before. Judge Mills made a speech for the benefit of police- men, lawyers and others concerning the prac- tice of taking personal bonds, which is really a warning to persons not to repeat the offenses with which they were charged. The judge said that hereafter he would not accept per- sonal bonds in so many cases. If the person charged is guilty he will be punished, and if not he will be discharged. HE GAVE THE POLICEMAN “‘IMPUDENCE.” “Judge, your honor,” said Lawye: Ricks, “Geerge W. Edwards is charged with violating the police regulations. I desire to plead guilty and the officer is willing for your honor to take his personal bonds,” Policeman Acton who made the arrest was called and he told the court of the defendant's actions about the Baltimore and Potomac depot last evening in soliciting trade, “and he gave me impudence,” added the officer. “Did he ever give you impudence before?” asked counsel. “No,” replied the officer. “If he had I would have arrested him.” Personal bonds, A MIDGET IN COURT. “Harry Baily don’t answer,” shouted Bailiff Kendig from the dock. ‘Ho's a small colored boy, with no brim on his hat,” said Policeman Costello. Harry was found hiding in the cor- ner of the dark cell. The boy soon appeared, but he was too small to be seen over the rail and he had to be marched up before the nde, who could hardly see the boy without id of glasses. ‘You are charged with being asus- picious person, &.,” read the clerk. The boy was unable to comprehend the meaning of the charge, and he grew nervous, as though‘he was afraid of being executed. He was only a home- less orphan, and the judge did the best thing for him by sending him down for ninety days. TOO FOND OF WHISKY. “It's only spite work,” said Theodore Scriv- ener. “Some of these police have got it in for me, anyhow.” ‘Habitual drunkard” was the charge against him. Theodore will work oc- casionally, but he usually spends his earnings inrum. He will now have an opportunity to work, but he cannot spend his earnings in rum. For three months his earnings will consist of soup, herring, &c,, such as is furnished at the Hotel Stoutenburg. “Yes, Iam guilty,” answered an old soldier named John Cromwell, who was charged with trespassing on the Smithsonian groun: The old man had been drinking and was resting himself on the grass, He was very nervous and the judge sent him down where he will be treated at the hospital, CHAPMAN'S MULE. Agent Key stepped upon the witness stand to tell Judge Mills of the manner in which John D. Chapman’s mule was torturing itself. He explained to the court how the mule was usit ‘its tail to paint the cartred with blood that flowed from a wound in that member made b; coming in contact with the cart in the animal's endeavor to keep the flies off.

The work of the convention then proceeded smoothly, Mr. Geo, W. Wilson, Dr. Chas, A. Fox, P. A. Bowen, and R. E. Brandt being unanimously elected by acclamation as deie- gates to the state convention. Hon. Stephen Gambrilland Dr. W. W. Waring were put in nomination for state senator, but as Dr. War- ing had just presented a set of resolutions on county affairs and had them rejected by a vote of 10 to 4, by districts, he arose and made a ringing speech, or more ceeenyprg: § @ speech on rings, and withdrew his name,at the same time declaring he washed his hands of the work of the convention, and picking up his hat retired. Mr. Gambrill was then unanimously nominated by acclamation, the uuruffied convention moving right along without saying a word or dropping a stitch. Mr. W. Brooks Hunter of Bladensburg put Sheriff N. C. Darnall in nomi- nation for representative, the list bemg com- leted with the names of Mr. H. A. Sasscer of arlboro and Roger {. Manning of Piscataway, being nominated by acclamation. Mr. R. E. Brandt presented the name of Judge Richard B, B. Chew for county clerk. The nomination was made by acclamation. For register of wills, Mr. Chas, E. McPherson was the unanimous choice. For sheriff the L sto deputy, Mr. Geo. 8S. Dove, and Mr, ohn P. Duvall were placed in nomiration, and the latter receiving but five votes the nomination of Dove was made unanimous. For county commissioners the names of Thos. P. Brooks, James H. Murray, Burnett Kerby, Geo, W. Hicks, Edward Phelps and John 8. Rawlings were presented, and the name of the latter being withdrawn the others were unani- mously nominated. Thos. F. Phillips and J. W. F. Hatton were put in nomination for sur- veyor and the latter was chosen, ir. Swan not being nominated for commis- sioner, and neither faction from the sixth dis- trict being given preference, it is not thought the defection there will prove serious, though that district is the democratic stronghold of the county. Dr. Waring’s resolutions, though not considered, were understood to favor tax collectors for each district and other reforms, pledging the legislative representation to use their influence in carrying them into effect, $< WASHINGTON ATHLETES.
