How Anson and His Men Were Knocked Out by the Senators—Other Games. Washington had no trouble in downing An- sou and bis men yesterday, the score being 7 to 2. Keefe and Riddle and Dwyer and Darling were the batteries. Mack played in right field, Daly on first and Clarke at short. The causes of victory were the poor field work of the An- sonians and their inability to bit the ball at the right time. The Senators, with a smaller record, managed to find the sphere oppor- tunely and earned four runs. Chicago would have been shut out had it not been for a bunch of Senatorial errors in the seventh, by means of which Dwyer and Darling were enabled to cross the rubber. Daly led the batting for Washington and a, for Chicago, each making three singles. Wilmot made a double Mack two singles, and Brother Clarke « bit apiece. The States- men scored a couple in the first and one in the fourth and fifth each. In the seventh two Chi- cagoans tallied and three visitors ending the run-getting. Washington made 10 hitsand 5 errors and Chicago 11 hits und 9 errors, Washington's errors were made by Hoy, Wise, Clarke and Riddle (two), Keefe gave two bases en balls and struck out two men and Dwyer gave three bases and struck out one man. OTHER GAMES YESTERDAY. Boston warmed the Infants to the tune of 8 to5. Clarkson and Bennett and Gruber and Zimmer were the batteries. Cleveland found the ball often but not together, while the Bean- eaters bunched their hits and wor on that ac- count. Boston made 1} hits and 6 errors and Cleveland 11 hits and S3errom Richardson tmade two singles and two doubles. New York lost the lead by failing to find the combination at Pittsburg, the Burghers winnin; by the score of T7to2. Welch and Ewing an Staley and Miller were in the points. New York scored 2in the second and held the lead until the fifth, when Pittsburg madesix singles, got a base on balls and Ewing made a muff at the plate, all of which netted 6 runs and won the . New York made 8 hits and 2 errors and Pittsburg 13 hits and 3 errors, _ Philadelphia made runs when the Hoosiers made errors and won by the score of 7 to 4, thereby regaining third place. The batteries were Sanders and Clements apd Fee and Som- mers. Indianapolis made 8 hits and 6 errors and Philadelphis 8 hite and 3 errors, ASSOCIATION GAMES.

The watery grave in the old Meeting House woods on the the hill just behind the ancient town of Bladensburg, which was the supposed final resting place of the body of Eliza Foster, the victim of a mysterious murder last April, is now vacant, the remains having been taken from that burial place and removed to Grace- land cemetery, where it was interred not far from where the grave robber took the body of John H. Brooks from the ground Sunday night, a8 mentioned in yesterday's StaB. Eliza was a negress and was killed not more than three miles from the settlement known as Burrville, Md., which is not far from Bennings station on the Baltimore and Potomac railroad, and Nelson Thomas and his wife, Lizzie Thomas, both colored, are still confined in the _ at Marlboro’, Md., the former charged with er murder and the latter as his accomplice. The grand jury meets there next week and that will be one of the first cases considered. It is thought likely that Nelson will have to pay the alt of death on the scaffold, but it is doubt what disposition will be made of his le NELSON'S FEMALE FAVORITE. Tillie Thomas, the woman who was found in Howard county, Md., and committed to jail as a witness in the case, as stated in Tux Star at the time, has been released. Thomas did not like the idea of her being set free as long as he lived, for, although he soon expects to meet his end on the gallows, he is still a devoted ad- mirer of that young woman, She was held in jailsome time as a witness, but as her fee would amount toa considerable sum she was released on her own recognizance to appear when wanted in order to save expense to the county. After her release she did not forget her old-time lover, and she returned to the jail , but was not permitted to do so, She became boisterous and violent and could only be quieted by threats of shutting her up again. This treatment of Tillie had A BAD EFFECT ON NELSON, for he begun to rave'so that the guards found it necessary to threaten him with the ball and chain before he would be quieted. Nelson is notin such good spirits as he was when taken to jail, although he spends a large portion of his time singing and ‘praving and fully expects he will “go to glory” when the law has been vindicat His wife, who holds the same opinion of the case, joins in the hymns and prayers, and altogether they aid to be hi ing a pretty time, considering the sur- Foun circumstances, THE MEN WHO CLEARED UP THE MYSTERY. Detectives Raff and Horne, who made such a thorough investigation of the case and cleared up the “Bennings mystery” by the arrest of the parties and the identification of the mur- dered woman, will be important witnesses at the approaching trial. It is by the result of their efforts that a clue to the murder was ob- tained, and the photographing the body at their suggestion proved the means of fully identify- ing the murdered woman. These facts, in con- nection with the full and free confession of Thomas, leaves no doubt as to the ultimate re- sult of the trial of Nelson Thomas as the princi- pal in the crime. THE ALLEGED MURDERER AND HIS WIFE. Nelson E. Thomas isa laborer about forty- five years old. Born in Maryland, he came here a number of yearsago, and has earned his living whitewashing, plastering and with work- ing withepick and ioral (tia te shout ve feet five inches high, and weighs less than 140 pounds. He is pockmarked and has short, stubby whiskers, and has an altogether repulsive apy @. His picture is among the collec- tion of photographs of criminals at police headquarters and is numbered “418.” He has a depraved disposition, and even behind the prison bars is unable to control his temper. Lizzie Thomas, his wife, is bey twenty-six ‘ears old. She is not so dark as her husbend, at she otherwise tallies witn his description. She has a scar behind one ear. Her photo- graph is under “No. 419.” Tillie Thomas, the witness, is about the same age as the murderer’s wife, but is much taller, hough no heavier than Lizzie. Her picture . 420” in the gallery. THE APPROACHING TRIAL. Thomas will probably be indicted early in October and his trial will take place some time during the month. Should he be convicted and appeal his case his execution will not take oo until some time after the Christmas holi- ys. THE ORIME. Eliza Foster, the victim of Thomas’ assault, was about twenty-five years old. She was em- ployed from time to time asa servant in vari- ous houses. She was ak ey with the fact that Nelson was a married man, and also that he visited Tillie Thomes in Howard county, Md. It was while they were on their way to ‘Tillie’s house, as she supposed, that Nelson in- flicted the blow which caused her death with a stone and then left her body there in a lonely spot in the woods until her decomposed re- mains were found by some children. After his arrest Nelson, as already stated, made a con- fession, telling how he killed Eliza as though it was a joke and nota brutal murder. —_—.—_—_ CLEVELAND AND HILL. Both Indorsed by the New York Demo- crats—The Nominations Made. At the New York democratic convention at Syracuse, N.Y., yesterday after the recess, ex- Assemblyman Frank Rice of Ontario county, was made the nominee for secretary of state; Edward Wemple, present incumbent, was re- nominated for controller; Hon. Elliott Dan- forth was nominated for state treasurer; Chas. F. Tabor, present incumbent, was retominated for attorney general; John Bogart for state engineer and surveyor, and Dennis O’Brien for court of appeals judge. The platform renews the pledges of fidelity to democratic faith and reaffirms the doctrines of the national platform of 1888 adopted at St. Louis, and adds: ‘‘We have not advocated and do not advocate free trade, but we steadfastly advocate the principles of tariff reform, be- lieving that adherence to the right alone car- ries in itself the certainty of triumph. We heartily indorse the honest, fearless adminis- tration of the national government by Grover Cleveland. We charge that the republican party at the last federal election obtained power in the nation by corruption and false pretenses, by intimidation and coercion of voters, by promises unperformed and pledges unredeemed, and by shameless tratiicking of cabinet and other offices in its gitt to the highest bidders; and though its candidates, by these unscrupulous means received more than half the votes of the elec- its doctrines and principles were by @ majority of the voters of the e the chief magistrate of States for a disgraceful violation of the pledge contained in his letter of accept- ance, to wit: ‘In appointments to every grade and department fitness, and not party service, should be the essential and discriminating test, and fidelity and efficiency the only sure tenure of office.” In that, not in exceptional in- stances, but with sweeping hand, he has re- moved hundreds of honest and capable officers toral repudiate | before the expiration of the term for which they were appointed. Continuing the platform denounces trusts snd combinations; arraigns the republican legislature for im the heaviest taxes since 1875 and for indul; bear nen agance generally; commen “vetoes of a democratic governor which saved the taxpayers 92,000,000;" declares against both the unre- stricted of intoxicants and prohibition and coramends a bs Ga ema excise law, whose belong to local treasuries; op- revenues shoul: news the party's declaration in favor of electoral The platform concludes by heartily indersiog orm conclu the democratic ministration Rn Hil. A resolution sym tone and Parnell was also adopted. oo—_____ Needed Postal Improvements. Wonderful as has been the development of the postal service, there is necessity for gon- tinual improvement if it is to keep up with the demands of the times. Ex-Postmaster General SPANISH AMERICA, What the International May Reveal of Our Southern Neighbors. W. E. Curtis in North American Review for September. The ignorance of the people of this country regarding the Latin-American people is simply amazing. It was not long ago thats member of a President's cabinet, in a public speech in the city of New York, referred to Buenos Ayres ‘as the capital of Brazil, and # justice of the United States Supreme Court once asked me what language was spoken in Chili. Most of the geographies studied by the children in our schools refer to the Argentine Republic asa confederation, regardless of the fsct that a war was fought some years ago to convince certain Provinces that is not one; and the graphic and illustrated descriptions of the wild horses roaming ownerless over the pampas, which de- lighted the sense of the picturesque three gen- erations ago, still remain on the pages although it would be| This POWDER Absolutely Pure. have always ae — Lier eevee varies, marvel of parity, quite as appropristeand tru’ to apply them to Iowa or to Illinois. ‘The Englishmen who | wi0shuet? kinds and cannot be sold in compet tion want to run over to New York for alittle buffalo xo rhe hate ders.

The ladies of South America go to Paris for their gowns and their bonnets and send their sons and daughters to the universities of England and the continent to be educated. But very few of them have ever been here.

And, unfortunately, the greater portion of our citi- zens who have made South America an abiding place have not been such as to inspire the peo- ple of that continent with a high regard for the character or an admiration for the conduct and culture of the North American. THE LACK OF BXTRADITION TREATIES has tempted certain types of our population to seek asylums south of the Caribbean sea and at the expense of our national reputation. That the leading men of the Latin-American Taces may see us as we are, that they may study and report upon our national institu- tions and the extent of our material develop- | ment, of which the best informed of them has | but a meager conception, this conference has been called, and from this operation and con- tact its greatest goofmay come.

Wellingtoz of Allegheny county was unani- mousl7 nominated for state controller, and in accepting the honor he said that although a nomination was not equivalent to an election, and perhaps he migh: be leading a forlorn hope, yet he should look upon the state's in- creasing republican gains asa stepping stone to victory, and that when the question whether there is to be a pure vote here is settled then the republican party can break down Mary- land’s oligarchy, and take their part in national politics. A colored delegate said he could pledge 40,000 colored votes for such a plat- form, and that the only thing to fear was the luxewarm white republicans. ——_—* 000 Fired After Twenty six Years, A peculiar accident occ Sunday after- noon in the Chicago Libby prison, Many per- sons were frightened and some confusion re- sulted. Resting against one of the pillars were a number of old war muskets, Suddenly one of the muskets was discharged, the contents tear- ing # hole in the ceiling above. The report was terrific and several people were greatly excited over its suddenness, How the old musket was exploded no one jcanexplain. It had done service during the late war and some soldier had loaded it in readiness to fire. The charge must have been in the rifle at least Swonty-six years, Maj. Burke Probably Indicted. The grand jury was in session in New Or- leans yesterday in the criminal district court. Judge Marr addressed the jurors. and called . their attention to the charges made by the B. J. HORNER & CO., daily press with regard to the fraudulent re- . marketing of bonds of the state which years Sh SLED WERT 08D ESSER ago had been declared null and void, and which NEW YORE. were ordered to be destroyed. Ho said these charges had now become public not only throughout the country, but abroad, much to the detriment of the credit of the state and its good name. Charges of such @ grave nature should be thoroughly sifted. At the conclu- sion of the judge's address the jury retired, and after a four hours’ session found nine in- dictments, The names of the indicted parties cannot be yet ascertained, but it is understood that ex-Treasurer E. A. Burke is one of them. | LARGEST EXHIBIT OF ARTISTIC FURNITURE IN AMERICA, TEN SHOW ROOMS FILLED WITH THE LATEST PRODUCTIONS OF THE FURNITURE AND UP- HOLSTERY ART FROM THE RECOGNIZED MANUFACTURING CENTERS OF THE WORLD.

ALS BM i St eg sched JOHN Bs bs S22 ROUTE TO LO} NORDDEUTSCHER EX: PLAT A FAGTS THE EVENING STAR is eo PAPER OF TO-DAY, not of YESTERDAY nor of LAST WEKK. It prints ALL THE NEWS, Local, Domestic and Foreign, LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN- ING PAPERS. This is 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 ARE MORB 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 Feport 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 readers every afternoon the news of the WHOLE EASTERN HEMISPHERE for the entire day, and up to 12 o’clock 7 | midnight, thus leaving literally nothing in the way of news from Europe, Asia, and Africa for the morning papers. —8: Equally does THE STAR lead all its contemporaries in the publication of the NEWS OF OUR OWN COUNTRY. Receiving the regular dispatches of | both News Associations; with alert and enterprising special telegraphic cor- respondents at all important points; and with wires leading directly from its owa 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- cific Oceans. —:0:——— . @@ NOTE THE RESULT: 29 —0:— | THE STAR HAS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR SUBSCRILERS and MORE THAN HIVE 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 PEOPLE, AFTER | THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE DAY ARE OVER, and it is thus read leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. They know that it prists 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,ia short, tobe THE PEOPLE’S PAPER, and nothingelse. Asan ADVERTISING MEDIUM it is, therefore, ABSU- LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL, It ts in fact worth more as s 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 CHEAPESE IN THE CITY. —0: — In conclusion, the public should bear in mind this one significant fact: THE STARK does not rely upon empty boasts to impress the public. ITS CIRCULA= TION IS SWORN TO; its PRESS- ROOM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; avd its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest in their examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which few papers invite, aad which those that boast most are least able to stand. —o:— . & The esteem in which THE STAB is held by the reading and advertising public is conclusively shown by the fig- ures given below. In the first six months of each of the five years named the average daily cire culation of the paper was: Tn 1885...c.0.02++0000+s0geee22,507 copies 24,382 “ regard to the advertising patronage of the paper, which is the surest indication of its acknowledged value as s medium of publicity.
