Onaxos, N.J., Sept. 18.—This place was visited yesterday afternoon and evening one of the severest rain storms in her history. The rain set insharply at about 3 o’clock and fell in sheets. The brooks soon overflowed their banks and all the low-lying parts of the city were flooded. At Washington and Day ts, where Parrow and Wigwam brooks unite, the water tore out The gullies and backed up for over half a mile, flooding all the city west of this point, The North Park street bridge again proved insufficient and the tor- rent, swollen at the addition of Nishoym brook. flooded that district from three to five feet deep. SWEEPING AWAY OUTHOUSES, SHEDS AND OTHER SMALL BUILDINGS, In Liewelyan park incalculable damage was done, the torrents rushing down the mountain side and carrying rocks, gravel and mud over many fine lawns. The roads in the park are badly washed. Low portions of East Orange suffered also; whole blocks were flooded from two to five feet deep and cellars were filled with water. Much damage was done in South Orange. A gully from six to eight feet deep Was torn out of South Orange avenue. On Ridgewood road the street was entirely torn awuy opposite the Church of the Holy Com- munion and rendered impassable, The heavy downpour of rain overflowed the banks of the Second river near Bloomfield. The bridge of the Orange branch of the Erie tailway over Second river at Watsessing was carried away. It was found necessary to close that branch of the road. Much uneasiness is felt among the people living near the river. BACK INTO THE LEAGUE. The Cincinnatis to Buy the Indianapolis Franchise, Bartimone, Mp., Sept. 18.—The News will publish astory that the Cincinnati base ball club will return to the league and Cincinnati will have a 50 cent admission as formerly. The reason for this is thet the law against Sunday base ball is enforced in Cincinnati, and so @ club in the association cannot have an ad- ditional revenue from this source. Another reason is the poor showing of the club, The league will buy out the Indianapolis franchise and Stern will get it, though he is obliged to use some of the Indianapolis timber. This story is believed to be true. —————— SENTENCES COMMUTED. Presidential Action Taken at Deer Park Today.

Chamberlain predicted that the alliance be- tween the liberal-unionists and conserva- tives would continue until the agitation in favor of the separation of England and Ireland was killed. He thought at the time the alliance was formed that it meant his sacrificing for a long time mai —_ cherished poliint objects, but he found that he had not been called apon to make any sacrifices. The government was carrying much liberal legislation aes ‘liameot, The union- ist leaders hat arned to work to- gether and to trust each other, He agreed with the snggestion of Lord Hartington, that @ new national party ought to be formed, pledged to effect INTERNAL REFORMS IN GREAT BRITAIN AND IRE- LAND, and whose policy should be the maintenance of the unity and the strengthening of the empire. The Gladstonians, he said, are breaking up. Their center of gravity 1s now in their tail. Their head has lost all its directing energy. The sections of the Gladstonian party are adopting polit- ical heresies and favor resistance to the law and socialism. If a new party was formed, ite program would be as far removed from the new doctrines of the ultra-radicals as from the fossil toryism of the past. He was confi- dent that many Gladstonians would be glad to adhere to such a new party, which would con- stitute a strong parliamentary power. eeccemawenl fh The Kerr-Pettit Match Postponed.

FOURTEEN HUNDRED PUPILS NOW AND ONLY ROOM FOR SEVBX HUNDRED—HOW THE ENLARGED BUILDING WILL BE ARRANGED—MUSEUM NOTES, ETC, S The high school, in common with the other schools in the District, will be opened on Monday next and then, more easily spparent than now, will be visible the lack of facilities for teaching the young idea how to shoot at longer ranges than those permitted the pupils in the eighth grade. One thousand four hundred and fifty lads and lassies will pre- sent themselves before Principal Lane and show their title to admission. Of these 660 will enter the school for the first time, Use upall the available space you can in that building; squeeze classes into every available corner; cramp the movements of all the students; do the best you can in every way and you will yet fall short by fully 700 pupile in the matter of acccommodations, To remedy this A NEW WING has been added to the old building, but it will not be ready until November 1, In order that each scholar shall have an opportunity to familiarize himself or herself with the work, which is ahead,a half day plan has beon adopted, which will be in force for ten weeks This looks to the giving of a half day of in- struction to the first and second year pupils until the wing is ready for occupancy and then the course of study will be pursued throughout the entire school day by all. THE COMPLETE INSTITUTION AFTER NOVEMBER 1. Mr. Lane escorted a Stan reporter through the building this morning and showed how complete the institution would be after Novem- ber1. Thesouthwest front of the old building is to be devoted to studies in natural science—ele- mentary biology, entomology—in fuct, general natural history. The old rooms have been re- arranged; partitions have been torn down and others re-erected elsewhere—all in the line of improvement. New tables at which pupils can study practically have been designed by Mr. E. 8. Burgess and are now being placed in position, On the southeast corner is the propagating room and here growing plants will be kept to be used in the study of botany. THE MUSEUM, The old chemical laboratory has been made @ part of the corridor which connects the old building and the new wing and on the west side of this corridor is the museum room. The work of museum making is being actively carried on bya large number of the pupils, and they are receiving a great deal of valuable information an advice- from those who have made a specialty of labor. The present plan is to in this room a complete collection of the flora and fauna of the District of Colum- bia and there is mach material already in. Prof. Geo. Marx has promised a complete col- lection of the spiders which crawl around over the varied surfaces to found in this little garden patch of governmental territory and this, added to Titus Ulke's very fine aggregation of lepidoptera already donated, will be of interest to many students. Mr. E. 8, Burgess bas y fine display of the woods of the District and this wi be in the museum. BOY AND GIRL CURIOSITY COLLECTORS. Quite a large number of the boys and girls in the school are enthusiasts and they have spent not little of their holiday time in doing all they could to add something to the collection, While the school, of course, is and is going to be grateful for any donations which may be made to the museum it will en- deavor, 80 far as possible, to gather by its own exertions the necessary material, A great many curios, many of them of no particular scientific value, have been contributed by scholars and there are promises of many more objects of in- terest. Mr. J. B. Daish, pne of the teachers, has devoted the entire summer to a course of study at the National museum in order that he might fit himself to instruct the boys. He has wrestied Leider 1a ed under the instruction of Mr. Smillie, and he has penetrated into the mysteries of several degrees of ethnology under the guidance of Prof. Mason, The ob- ject of this toil is to cultivate scientific tastes in the scholars, PRINCIPAL LANE’S VIEWS, Principal Lane values such work very bighly. He said to the reporter “I am not an anti-book man, but I do believe in this kind of training; there should be more of these practical museums in our schools, They bring out the latent enthusiasm und belp to form character. It would sur- prise you to know how many pupils are interested in this little collection, I find, though, that the German boys are more clined to the work of collection and classifica- tion than the American youth, Last year's work in this line was a revelation to parents, children and instrue OTHER CHANGES IN THE ENLARGED BUILDING. ‘The old botanical laboratory will be turned into a class room, while all the apparatus, &c., used in the chemical laboratory has been stowed away in the exhibition hall, where it will have to stay until the new wing is ready to receive it. ‘The west side of the new wing on the third floor will be devoted to scientific wor The hysical lecture room, which wall one undred and twenty-five students, is having a sloping floor placcd therein and so pitched that those im the rear will be able to see all that the instructor is doing. An apparatus room adjoins it and beyond that is a class room, Across the hall is a class room in which chemistry will be taught, and behind it is a smaller room for the necessary apparatus. The delicate balances used in this study will be kept in a small apart- ment beyond the apparatus room. Tue chemical laboratory is a fine place, 45 by $2 feet in size, add situated on the eust side of the wing. In bere will each of which will be five demonstrating tables, e nty-four workin give the necessary pupils. Everything for chemical work will be provided, and the room will have that which few laboratories have—perfect yen- tilation. On the second floor are class rooms, a teach- room anda study hall which will aecommo- ninety pupils, Ou the first floor there are additionol en- trancee for the boys—one on O street at the wost side and one on P street at the north side of the wing. er: THE LIBRARY. The east room next to the girls’ private stair- way on the first floor is the library, and to this especial attention is to be paid. When Mr. Lane first went to the Ischool he was librarian, and the library then consisted of a few volumes of an encyclopedia lying on the floor of a small unfurnished room; now it contains 6,000 books, most of them valuable works of reference. The librarian’s desk will be in one corner of tbe spacious apartment, and will be inclosed by arailing. A number of small tables will be provided, af which pupils may sit and on which ooks most in demand willbe kept. The library will not be a place in which to sit and read but a place to work. ‘The school will, however, be without a lib: until November because the old library has been transformed into a class-room and the books are in storage, IN THE BASEMENT is the drill hall and armory—a room 12 feet Jong and 28 feet wide. Here the cadets will be at liberty to go through with their maneuvers without disturbing all the rest of the school as they have done heretofore— the old drill hall being on the second floor, ‘The battalion can march from the new armory out on to either O or P streets without passing through any other rooms. As soon as the funds will permit each cadet will have a locker in which to keep his arms and accoutre- ments, —_—.- THE CABLE ROAD, : AU he i <= i : ng TWO BALL GAMES TODAY. Washington and New York Take Ad- vantage of the Sunshine. The Senators and the Giants stole a march on the weather fiend this afternoon by getting in two games to make up for yesterday's postponement. There were not more than 500 people present when the first game was called at 2 o'clock. ‘THE NINES, The Statesmen, who were in their black madjys, were as follows: Jobn See 8a Hoy, «.f.; Wi Lf; Beecher, r.f.; Wise, hy Artaue Tewin wat dock; tet bol Date, The Giants, who wore their white gowns, were postared thus: Gore, o.f.; Tiernan, r.f.; | Ward, as.; Richardson, 2b.; Connor, 1b; Q’Rourke, Lf.; Ewing, ¢.; Whitney, 8b.; Keefe, p.s Umpire Knight officiated on the decisions, oF The grounds were rather soft, but yet im fair | versi shape, ‘TRE FIRST INNING. In the first inning John Irwin led off by be- ing patient enough to wait for four bad balls and then stole . threw badly to Rich- ardson to catch and Brother John scamp- ered to third safely. There was no one out Jobo have scored, but Timothy Keefe was on his mettle, and when the closed Brother John was right in his fielding place, Hoy struck out, Wilmot put ae easy fly for Ward and her fanned air. 7 ‘The Giants were treated even more shabbily in their half, going out in order. Daly made a fine catch of Donets high foul, Beecher took in Tiernan’s seemingly safe 1, and Ward bunted to Wise and refused to run. SECOND INNING. Keefe kept up his work in the second. After Sam Wise had struck at one ball, missing it, Knight called him out on others, Then Brother Arthur waited for time to give him his base. Mack popped a fiy to Richardson and Daly went to first on lis, but Tim Keefe struck out his namesake with three pitches, For New York Richardson went to base on balls, but was forced at second by Connor, and then Sam Wise earned a round of applause by nabbing O'Rourke's grounder, touching Connor as he —— and throwing to Mack in time to cut off the lawyer. THIRD INNING. Brother John started the third with @ clean hit into right field, the first safe one of the game.

The Participants Have a Hearing in Judge Miller’s Court This Afternoon. This afternoon the Police Court presented the appearance of a place selected for a prize | fight. The benches were occupied by many members of the sporting fraternity and patrons of “the manly art,” as “Billy” McMillan and “Billy” Young were to come before the bar of justice in consequence of their hostile meeting at an early hour Sunday morning on | Pennsylvania avenue, as heretofore mentioned in Taz Stan. Lawyers D. E. Cabill and J. B. O'Neill appeared for Young and McMillan, re- spectively, and Mr. Mullowney represented the government. The pugilists were charged with an affray and McMillan and Policeman Frayser were charged each with assaulting the other. Lawyer Cahill opened the case by stating that there were two men in this town who either are, or fancy they are, masters of the manly art of self-defense. The matter he id was discussed in the newspapers at considerable length, but he did not know where else. He referred to the action of Policeman Frayser in clubbing McMillan, because of the fact that McMillan swore against Frayser in a recent case in which Mr. Holtzman was defendant, Mr. O'Neil stated his side of the case and Mr. Muilowgey remarked that he would knock them both out. POLICEMAN FRAYSER’S STORY. Policeman Frayser testified to the arrest of the defendants for engaging in the fight on the avenue. They went as far as the corner of 12th street, witness having Young under arrest and Special Officer Venneman hav- ing McMillan in charge. Young behaved like @ gentleman, but McMillan broke away and trfed to get at both Young and witness. He struck and kicked witness und witness struck ar} Loosmegpe ne — not sad tebe He said that during the origin t Young struck McMillan while the latter was down, When McMillan broke away he said: “I can whip both of the —— — of ” Special Officer Venneman testified to seeing the two clinched on the avenue, PUGILIST YOUNG TELLS HIS STORY. Young testified that on the morning charged he crossed Pennsylvania avenue and met Mc- Milian and several others. Defendant was talking to a friend when McMillan struck him. Defendant threw McMillan to the ground | and was on vat tet him when the officer ar- rived. Defendant admitted that he touched “Doc” Palmer on the shoulder before Mo- Millan touched him, Mr. Cahill referred to the much-talked-of fight and Mr. O'Neil remarked that the fight was too one-sided. ‘When Young comes to town,” he added, “McMillan always runs.” Witness said that he and McMillan were al- ways good friends, but he did not intend to let any man strike him without resenting it, “I just tapped Palmer on the shoulder,” he eaid, tapping Bailiff Kendig as an illustration. The latter stepped aside for fear Young would think he (Kendig) was a “slugger.” MILLAN DENIED that he received any of the marks on his face from Young. i of aseal the was called. McMillan denied that he kicked side of B street between 13thand 14th streets northeast. THINKS THE ROAD SHOULD GIVE A BOND. Several days ago Assistant Attorney Davis, in a letter to the Commissioners, called attention to the number of iron arches laid on the side- walks of 7th street northwest by the Washing- ton and Georgetown railroad company and recommended that the somenny, be notified to guard one ent their being instru- ments of danger. The letter was referred to Capt. Symons, who, in passing upon the case, said: “There will, undoubtedly, be more or less danger attendant upon the construction of this cable railroad, no matter how many pre- cautions are taken. I suppose in case of acci- dent the persons injured would naturally seek redress from the District; and this re should, as a matter of equity, be sought frém the railroad company. I would suggest that, as a proper method of procedure to guard the interests of the District, the railroad com- pany give a bond of indemnity to the District against any damege incurred in the construc- tion of the road.” CONTRACTS FOR SEWER PIPE, Upon the recommendation of Capt.
