But a Good Time to Talk Over Past and Coming Events. GOME OF THE LATEST GOSSIP—M'QUAID ONLY A NIGHTMARE MEMORY NOW—A GOOD WORD FOR OTHER LEAGUE UMPIRES—ABRIVAL OF THE BURGHERS—FUTURE OF THE SENATORS. ‘The great Atlantic coast storm that is play- ing havoc with the seaside resorts caught hold of the league base ball schedule yesterday and blew it out of sight. All of the four games down on the program in Washington, Phila- delpnia, Boston and New York were prevented by rain, which here wasa drizzle just hard enough to soak the grounds and that was all. Capt. Arthur Irwin had gone off on his catcher hunt and his brother John, who is acting in his absence, came to the wise conclusion that playing was impossible. Umpire McQuaid, the hero of Tuesday's performance, was there ready to “umpire” if there should be a game, but it was fated that he bad done his last work in Washington, and he is now but a species of nightmare in the minds of the local patrons of the game. President Young has wired Umpire Lynch to come here to officiate in the Pi burg series. THE BURGHERS ATRIVED this morning, but the chances were very un- favorable at that time for a game in this city. It is quite possible that there will be two games layed here on Saturday, for the Pittsburg and ‘ashington clubs have yet to play on these grounds the game scheduled for May 22, which The Senators have been injured by the weather more than any other club this year, and an effort should be made to play off as many games as possible, The Philadalphia Press contained the follow- was prevented by ra’ ing announcement this morning: “WASHINGTON SIGNS JACK RIDDLE. “Manager Irwin of the Washington club was in this city yesterday and signed Jack Riddle as catcher for hisclab. Mr. Irwin stated that he was enroute for Boston and that Washington would place a winning team in the fleld next season. “We are not going to stop at a few thousand dollars,’ sai.i Mr. Irwin, “but we are going to secure layers regardless of cost. ‘The stories sent out rom Washington in regard to the trouble Tues- day were greatly exaggerated and will town a poor reputation.’ Riddle’s name does not appear in the base for 1889as having participated in ball playing last season. At this distance it would seem that he has his debut to make. There is a lesson. however, to be drawn from this piece of Mws, for 1t indicates pretty clearly that what Tue Star said the other day about Washington having a league club in 1890 ball guid professio: Was pretty true. FUTURE OF THE WASHINGTON CLUB. In this line another straw comes to hght in the shape of the following remarks by Mr. Robert M. Larner, the able and popular cor- respondent of The Sporting Life, in his last letter, printed in the issue of September 11: “ihe Senators have concluded to remain at Capitol park another season. President Hewitt, after m & careful survey of the fleld, finds that he cannot do better than stay where he is. ite infers e yesterday that he had completed ar- Tangemenis by which he is wo retain possession of the park until the fall of "90. ‘there were several Teasons why Van Ness park could not be secured aud none of the other sites offered possessed suf- ficient attractions to tempt the management to make adicker. The money that would have been expended in fitting up new grounds will be util- ized in securing additional strength for next year's team. A newshird aud first baseman and two additional pitchers are most needed to put the team in winning form. Where the new material {sto come from fs a question that cannot now be Answered, but ir. Lewitt has out several scouts with their game bags wide open and with iustruc- tons to bring down nothing but the best the mar- ket affords.”” One of these scouts is Ted Sullivan, who ranks as about the best base ball hunter in the field. What Ted lacks in managerial qualities he amply makes up in a scent that can dis- tinguish a ball player almost before he doffs his knickerbockers and shirt waists. It is safe to predict that there will be some very promis- ing men signed by Washington before the sea- son of '90 is begun. THE HOWL AGAINST LEAGUE UMPIRES. ‘The action of McQuaid on Tuesday was ex- tremely unfortunate, in that it has caused » how! to go up from some people against the en- tire staff of league umpires. This is unjust, for there never was a more efficient corps in the league than Knight, Lynch, Curry, Powers, MeQuaid’s name had almost slipped out, for his ability as « judge of play is of good qual- ity. Knight is “Al,” and Powers’ and Lynch's work is excellent. Curry might be improved by an infusion of elixir and McQuaid has no chalk in his bones. With these two ex- ceptions Mr. Young can well be proud of his Present corps. McQuaid’s fault is an unsur- mountable one and he should not be reap- Pointed. but, when one comes to view the mat- ter calmly, there is no immediate necessity for changing the staff at this time of year. Mr. Young 1s not the man to be — by sach talk as Tucsday’s game has starte THE BYRNE-VON DER AHF FIGHT. The absolute dearth of base ball scores yes- terday left the morning papers nothing to talk about but the Byrne-Von der Ahe fight, which is amply discussed. President Wyckoff of the American association has addressed a letter to each of the clubs in that organization notifying them of the €3,000 fine incurred by Von der Abe by refusing to play in two games in Brook- lyn and calling atvention to the rule which for- bids paying him auy guarantees or apron og on e fines are = The association will meet at 10 o'clock ‘day morning at the Continental hotel in Philadelphia to consider the matter of the dis- mes played with him until ¢! puted games, ——__ 45 Misvres to Batimore.—Take the B. and 0.’s 45-minute flyers on your next visit to Bal- 1.20 for round trip during exposition tamore; week.— Adrt. ———>—__ Floods in Texas.

The launch came slong- side and was taken in tow as faras Sandy point, when, owing to heavy seas, it was fc neces- sary to take the launch on deck to save her. The ic came to anchor and the launch was brought alongside, so as to hoist her to the deck. It was found that the launch was too hea for the davits to hoist and Engineer Busch came on deck and endeavored to sepa- rate the engine and boiler from the hull of the little steamer, it being impossible to hoist all together, Lieut. Commander W. W. Kilpatrick, who was in charge of the Passaic, gave orders to drop the launch astern, so as to get in smooth water, the seas at the time running over the Passaic’s deck about 12 feet, Busch remained in the launch trying to ie arate the engine and boiler from the hull. 1 launch, after ping astern, commenced to plunge wildly on the waves, and had not made more than four plunges before she went bow under. Busch,who was at his post at the engine, amidships, ran aft and jam; over the stern to keep from going down with her. As soon as Busch went over Lieut. Com. Kilpatrick gave orders to throw life preservers, over which Busch swam to, Seizing one of them, he floated off with the tide and wind. Asecond order was given to man the whale boat. Ensign Dresel was in charge, with David Moore, Daniel Brown, Frederick Carr and Wm. Scott as the crew, the two latter being colored. They pulled for Busch, who was about a mile off. as fast as they could. In the meantime the commanding officer had given orders to weigh anchor and follow. The wind and tide, fowever, revented the monitor from pursuing the wi boat, which drifted down the bay. The whale boat picked up Busch and five minutes later was swamped, the water coming in through a plug-hole in the bottom. As she was filling Moore exclaimed: “My God, I can’t swim!” Busch, who was alongside, replied: “When she goes down hold on to the iw.” Moore did as he was told, but a big wave swept | him off.

The Town of Mombassa a Great Center for the Ivory Trade. Mombassa, Stanley's objective point, says a dispatch from Brussels, is about 400 miles in a straight line from Lake Albert Nyanza, but less than 1,000 by the devious route Stanley will have to pursue. The town of Mombassa is on an island of the same name off the east cost of Africa, and now subject to Zanzibar. Cen- turies ago it was held by the Portuguese and was later a dependency of Great Britain, but the African Mohammedans threw off the English yoke in 1826, when Sultan Seid Said | acquired the town for Zanzibar. center for the ivory trade. It was once forti- fied with a strong castle, but is only a strag- gling village now, and is valued chiefly for its excellent harbor. It is impossible to form any conjecture as to the time of Stanley's arrival on the coast, as nothing is known of his plans, Capt. Wissmann, commandin, expedition, has offered a reward of £5,000 for the head of Chief Bushiri.

It prints ALL THE NEWS, Local, Domestic and Foreign, LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN- ING PAPERS. > This ts conspicuously true of all classes of news, but especially so in regard to Local News and District Affairs. THE STAR has a very much LARGER and BETTER force of LOCAL RE- PORTERS and SPECIAL WRITERS than any other paper in Washington ever thought of employing, and ITS MECHANICAL . EQUIPMENT AND PRINTING. FACILITIES ARK MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS POWER- FUL AND RAPID AS THOSE OF ANY OTHER WASHINGTON PAPER. It is therefore able to print each day a full | report of every transaction of public ine terest occurring in the District up te the very hour of going to press. —:0:—— By the free use of the OCEAN CABLES: for REGULAR AND SPECIAL Dis- PATCHES, and with the difference of time in its favor, it is also able to give its reade® every afternoon the news of the WHOLE EASTERN HEMISPHERE for the entire day, and up to 12 o’clock midnight, thus leaving literully mothing in the way of news from kurope, Asia, and Africa for the morning papers. —0:—_ Equally does THE STAR lead all its contemporarics in the publication of the NEWS OF OUK OWN COUNTRY. Receiving the regular dispatches of both News Associations; with alert and enterprising special telegraphic cor- respondents at ail important points; and with wires leading directly from its own office to the general network of telegraph system touching every city, town and hamlet in the United States and Terri- tories, it is enabled to receive and print atonce a full report of every event of consequence occurring during the day anywhere between the Atiantic and Pa- — @@ NOTE THE RESULT: 2 pavipfipbienaiii THE STAR HAS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR SUBSCRIGERS and MORE THAN FIVE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY PAPER IN WASHINGTON. It is de- livered regularly by careful carriers at the HOMES OF THE PROPLE, AFTER THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE SAY ARE OVER, and it is thus read leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. They know that it prints all the news, and has only the interests of the people of the District in view, with no partisan measures to advocate, and no private schemes to forward. They know it,in short, tobe THE PEOPLE’S PAPER, and nothingelse. Asan ADVERTISING MEDIUM it is, therefore, ABSO- LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. It is in fact worth more as a means of reach- ing the public THAN ALL THE OTHER DAILY PAPERS IN THE CITY TOGETHER. Furthermore, in proportion to the re- turns it gives its patrons, ITS ADVER- TISING RATES ARE THE CHEAPEST IN THE CITY. —0: —— In conclusion, the public should bear in mind this one significant fact: THE STAK does not rely upon empty boasts to impress the public. ITS CIRCULA- TION IS SWORN TO; its PRESS- ROOM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest in their examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which few papers invite, and which those that boast most are least able to stand. * we © The esteem in which THE STAR is held by the reading and advertising public is conclusively shown by the fig- ures given below.
