STILL ANOTHER. How Washington Anuihilated the Wil- mington Ball Team. The only trouble about yesterday's ball game was that there was but one club in it The name of that club was by no means Wilming- ton. The Senators, alert from their great vic- tory over Baltimoreon Monday, won just about as they pleased, the score being 11 to 1. The game in the field was very good, but few er- rors being made,but the pitching of the two men who took their places in the points for Wil- mington was of a shaky order. James Galligan tried it for an inning, and after the home team had pounded out four runs he was removed and Gilmore, who used to do such erratic work for Washington, was put into the box Phe second inning, when he made his debut in « Wilmington uniform, was not exactly of character to encourage him, for each of the four men whom he sent to first base on balls Scored, putting the tally eight to nothing against his new feam. But after this he steadied down and for five innings pitched fre ball, notarun being made off bis ‘ivery. Then he went to piecet in in the eighth and gave four more men bases on balls, three of them scoring. THE PLAYERS. The game did not attract more than 250 people, the certainty of winning being so grest. These folks hada surfeit of victory, for there wasnota moment when there was any doubt about the outcome of the game. Maloney and Riddle were the home battery and did their usually fine work. O'Brien was hit in the head by @ pitched ball wnen he went to the bat in the first inning and his right ear was very badly cut. The blow sent him reeling to the ground without a murmur, but be pluckily to get Up again, falling into the arms of one of the other players, who ran to catch him. The blow one, sounding as if the ball had bat instead of his head. O'Brien le to go on with the game and Bird to second. while Nicholas went out ‘id, each doing weil. Bird showed und player, taking everything that came his way and throwing beautifully to first. Nicholas did not have much to do in his field, but at the bat he led the team, making two singles and two two- baggers, getting his base the other time he faced the pitcher. The Senators played » faultless game, not an error being made, Jor- dan made a wonderful catch in the seventh in- ning, the ball being far above his head when be Jumped and gripped it in his fingers. Cor- coran did some of the best throwing that has been seen here this year, his work with Cree- gan at second being almost sure to catch a base Tunner when trying to steal. The rest of the visiting team did very well in the field, Sullivan and Newell making the only misplays, POINTS, There were no special features in the con- test, beyond Gilmore's very unexpected two- ba hitin the ninth, which set the crowd to ing. Bader made a scratch hit in the ninth & wonderful piece of sprinting. In the fourth Nicholas hit safely and Bird followed with a two-bagger that sent Nicholas in, but the run did not count, as the runner cut third base as he passed it. Galligan made a good rnnning catch in the ninth and returned it to first in time to make a double play on Riddle, who had gone tosecond with the idea that the bitfrom Maloney’s bat was safe, Maloney made a single and a two-bagger. Washington made twelve hits and no errors and Wilmington made seven hits and two errors, The only run of the visitors was made in the fourth, when Galligan went to THE COLORED NORMAL SCHOOL. A Resolution Restricting the Number of Graduates to Twenty Adopted. ‘THE DEBATE ON THE PROPOSITION—MORE TRACH- ERS THAN TEACHERSHIPS—A NUMBER OF CHANGES ORDERED—INTERES TING MEETING OF ‘THE PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD, A question of importance to those looking forward to admission to the colored Normal School was determined at the meeting of the school board last evening. The attention of the béard was called by Mr. Cornish to notice which he had given at previous meet- ing proposing some change in the number of High School pupils admitted to the Norm1l School, He said that under the present sys- tem of admitting each year forty pupils to the Normal School the supply of teachers was Greater than the demand. There were not ough places to give all the graduates teach- ers’ appointments, The result was that there was disappointment on the part of many of the graduates and their friends, This had lead to charges of partiality brought against the prin- cipal of the Normal School and to various vex- ations to all connected with the management of the school He was of the opinion that it would be wise to reduce the number admitted to the Normal School to twenty-five, this rule to go into effect after the admission of the — High School class to the Normal 100) NOT PREPARED TO VOTE FOR THE PROPOSITION. While not wishing to oppose this proposition, yet Mr. Thayer said that the subject was a new one to him and he would like to have more time to consider it before voting. It seemed to him that no harm was done; in fact, it was a benefit to give the advantages of the’ Nor School training tothe pupils and then tl could go elsewhere and practice their calling in the event that their services were not needed in this District, He thought that they ought not to be deprived of the opportun- ity to obtain this education simply because they were not needed here. THE OBJECT OY THE NORMAL SCHOOL. In response Mr. Cornish said that the Normal School, in his opinion, was intended to supply @ need, and that when it did more than this it was an unwise expenditure of public money. The funds of the District were not intended to educate teachers for other sections of the coun- try. But aside from this consideration the graduates. in point of fact, did not go else- where. They remained here where they lived and where they wanted to be employed. Under the present system of providing each year more teachers than were required criticism and complaints came from those who did not understand the situation and there was always asuspicion of favoritism. He thought that the change which he proposed was in the line of a wise policy, It was asked by Mr. White whether this re- duction in the number of graduates would re- duce the annual cost of maintaining the Nor- mal School. “NEW BLOOD” IN THE SCHOOLS, Mr. Cornish could not say what the effect would be financially, as he had never examined that phase of the question, He went on to say that only sixteen of the graduates of the pres- ent year were employed as teachers, while of the graduates of the year before teachers’ positions were found for only fifteen. Each year added to the number of teachers not employed in the public schools, and besides there was no oppor- tunity to get in teachers from outside of the District, as was d in the white schools. It was thought that the introduction of new blood had ® good effect upon the schools, He did not, however, urge this change because he wished to seek elsewhere for teachers, but he thought that it was not right to continue year after year graduating such a large surplus of teachers, In the opinion of Rev. Mr. Grimke, the num- ber admitted to the Normal School ought to be twenty. as it used to be. He also said that the first on balls, stole second and scored on Cree- gan’s two-base hit, OTHER GAMES. All of the other Atlantic games helped Wash- ington along in the race, Newark, with Harry Mace in the box, defeated Baltimore by the score of 8 to 4. Muce was very effective, keep- ing the Orioles down to 2 hits. Baltimore made 4 errors and Newark 7 hits and 3 errors. Baltimore's battery consisted of Baker and Townsend. Two games were played in Hartford, Jersey City taking the first, 7 to 1. O'Connell and Moore and Fitzgerald and Dowd were the bat- teries. Jersey Cite made 8 hits and 2 errors and Hartford 3 hits and 2 errors. In the second game Hartford won, 6 to 4. Fagan and Murray aud McDermot and Collins were the batteri Hartford made 10 hits and Lerror and Jersey City 12 hits and 6 errors. Worcester took a game from New Haven—6 to2 The points were occupied by Stafford and Guinasse and Gilliland and Hofford, Wor- cester made 13 hits, 1 error, and New Haven 5 bits, 4 errors.

Philadelphia still leads the league, Chicago the brotherhood, and Rochester the America: There were less than 150 people at the Ch: cago league game Mosinctang Jimmy Fogarty has resigned his position as captain’ and manager of the Philadeiphia brotherhood club, Buffington has been made manager and Farrar will probably be appointed captain. No reason is given out for Fogurty's retirement, Harry Doom, the Newark pitcher, who was suspended without pay two weeks ago, has been reinstated by Manager Trott. Nicholas is too sure a batter to be relegated to the bench, He ought to be put in occasion- ally to reliove Jack Riddle, who, though he ix doing magnificent work, cannot hold out for- ever. eoere, ye ‘Ted Sullivan of the Washingtons is reported to be looking for grounds across the Long Bridge, in Virginia. where his club can play Sunday games.— Baltimore Sun. ‘There won't be @ corporai’s guard at such games if this scheme succeeds. The majority of the home patrons are down on Sunday ball playing. It may be @ couple of days before O’Brien recovers from the severe crack he received in the head yesterday sufficiently to play his po- sition’ xgaim. Bird will do very well in the meantime. Winaington plays here today and Newark the rest of the weck. Then the team goes away for a long trip. They play at New Haven, Hartford, Jersey City, Worcester, Hartford again and Baltimore, ‘winding up with the Orioles on the 6th and 7th of June, They will play fourteen gumes while away. If they play the same sort of game they ure Putting up at present they ought to win ten of the fourteen games. The Atlantic race is as follows: Club, | Won. L Lost. | Perc.

Grimshaw et al; argument concluded and cause submitted, graduates did not go away from the District to seek employment, but remained here. During the past year also the vacancies in the lists of teachers were sened, because several who bad married had contrary to the usual custom, refused to resign, He thought that if the board did not wish to act upon thfs question now it might be referred to the proper committee, ADVOCATING THE CHANGE. Prof. Gregory advocated the change. He said that it would give an opportunity for se- lection from the High School of pupils for the Normal School. In the white schools those who entered the Normal School were selected from a large number, but in the case of the col- ored schools the graduates of the, High Schoo! only numbered about forty and the entire num- ber was admitted to the Normal School. There were, as might naturally be expected, some among the number who were not especially fitted to be teachers, but when once in the Nor- mal School they were graduated as teachers, The same course, he said, was pursued in the white schools, only, of course, & selection was made of those fitted to enter the Normal School, He asked Superintendent Powell of the white schools, who was present, if this was not the case, Prof. Powell said that all the graduates of the Normal School were given teachers’ certifi- cates, but he said that there had been cases where pupils not found to be well qualified to ba tencbaca ware aakea oy resign before gradu- ation, and such a request was always complied wit MR. MITCHELL'S SUGGESTION. It was suggested by Mr. Mitchell that there was no necessity for changing the rules. A resolution could be adopted providing that only ten pupils should be graduated this year from the colored Normal Schuol. Next year another resolution fixing the number of grad- uates could be adopted. He did not wish to limit the opportunity for acquiring a teacher's education, but, if as had been stated, graduates refuse to pursue their calling unless they can obtain employment in this city, he thought that they did not deserve very much considera- tion, THE RESOLUTION ADOPTED. Mr. Cornish accepted the suggestion to amend his resolution by inserting 20 instead of 25, and the resolution as amended was adopted as fol- lows: “Ordered, That the number of pupils to be admitted to the Washington Normal School of the seventh aud eighth divisious shall not ex- ceed twenty, the same to take effect upon the admission of the present High School class to the Normal School.” It was stated by Prof. Gregory that the regu- lar examination for teachers’ certificates would be held on Friday and Saturday of the present week. President Ross thought that the time for holding the examination was too late in the school year, In hix opinion an earlier date would be better. After further discussion a resolution offered by Prof. Gregory was adopted, The question of changing the time for holding these examinations frem May to | November or December was referred to the committee on rules, Mr. Grimke, the trustee of the seventh di- vision, reported that a picture of Mr, Win, Lloyd Garrison, donated by his sou, Mr. Frank Garrison, was presented last Saturday by Dr. Chas. B. Purvis and was placed in the Garrison building aud was received on behalf of the board with thanks by himself.

CAPITOL GLEANINGS, Objecting to Confirmation of W. B. Sorsby—Committee Notes, In the executive session of the Senate yes- terday the nomination of Wm. B, Sorsby of Mississippi to be consul general to Ecuador was under consideration. This was one of the earliest nominations sentto the Senate this session, but it was held up in the committee on commerce until a day or two ago upon the re- quest of the Mississippi Senators, It was then reported from the committee with a favorable recommendation by a party vote. The opposi- tion to Mr. Sorsby's confirmation is based upon his alleged delivery to Senator Quay, chairman of the national republican committee, of cer- tain letters written immediately before and during the campaign of 1888 by Congressman Catchings to the editor of a Mississippi paper, and which by some chance fell into Mr. Sorsby's possession, and the assertion that his appointment was a practical payment for this work. The report of the committee recom- mencing confirmation was antagonized vigor- ously by Senators Walthall aud George of Mississippi and Vest of Missouri and others, while it was supported with equal earnestness by Senators Frye, Cullom, Quay, Chandler and other republicans, After a debate lasting al- most two hours a vote was taken, which dis- closed the lack of « quorum, oniy thirty Sena- tors being present, ‘1hereupon the Senate ad- journed, Novag the nomination still on the docket, THE ARKANSAS ELECTION INVESTIGATION. The subcommittee of the House committee on elections that investigated the Clayton- Breckinridge contested election case has de- cided to await the return of Mr. Breckinridge from Arkansas before hearing the closing testi- mony in the case. Mr. Breckinridge is ex- pected in Washington this week. PROGRESS WITH THE TARIFF BILL, In the House yesterday, after Tux Sran’s re- port closed, various amendments were offered to the tariff bill, but were rejected, and after eueaiagetng 98 of the 156 pages of the bill the committe rése and the House adjourned. TO GUARD AGAINST ADULTERATION OF DRUGS, ‘The Senate committee on agriculture and forestry again failed at ite meeting yesterday to finish consideration of the pure-tood bill. which has been almost ready to report for sev- eral weeks. The delay yesterday was caused by the appearance of the committee on legisla- tion of the National Association of Whole: Druggists, who came to propose a substitute for that portion of the commit bill relat- ing to the adulterated drug question, The delegation consisted of A. H. Jones, president; M. N. Kline of Philadelphia, Geo. J. Seabury and F. C. Geiger of New York. ‘They proposed to take the matter of deciding upon the purity of drugs out of the Department of Agriculture and vest itin the hands of licensed analysts, after the fashion of the English system. These analysis are to be appointed by the Secretary of Agriculture, but are to be paid by those to whom their services are rendered, ELECTRICITY ON NAVAL VESSELS, The House commitiee on naval affuirs yester- day heard arguments by Mr. John S. Wise of Now York and Mr. Sprague of the Sprague Electric Light Company in support of the bill providing for experiments with electricity as a motive power in its application to marine archi- tecture, The bill authorizes the appointment of a board of naval officers to conduct experi- ments to test the utility of electrical motors as applied to steering, lighting, ventilating, pumping, and other uses on United States naval vessels, and the handling and manage- ment of marine orduance and aiomunition, &, THE INSPECTOR GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT, A bill introduced by Senator Blackburn provides that the inspector general’s de- partment of the army shall consist of an in- spector general with the rank of brigadier gen- eral; four assistant inspectors general with the rank of colonel, aud four with the rauk of lieutenant colonel aud four deputy inspectors general with the rank of major.

SE Reached My Heart”—made up the rogram. na; John A. Daly, D.D.8., of the Original District Papers. Recently the chief of engineers of the United States army received letter from Col. Ernst, in charge of public buildings and grounds, in which he called attention to the fact that the records of his office relating to the original laying out of the city and the subsequent sale of lots was far from complete, He also called attention to the fact that many important plats, reports and other documents to which refer- ence is made in the “Proceedings of Commis- sioners,” and which should be on file in his office, are missing. Also that it appears from the evidence of Surveyor Forsyth of the Dis- trict of Columbia in a recent case of the United States agt, M. F. Morris et al. that there are on file in bis office certain original documents ald seem to properly belong to Col. office, such as the original plats of the city prepared by Nicholas King under order of the Commissioners in 1793 and other original work of Mr. King’s and the original note book of Jas. R. Dermott, containing the soundings taken for the Dermott, or Tin Case Map. WANTS THEM TRANSFERRED. As itisdesirable that all such documents should, as far as practicable, be in the care of # single custodian, Col. Ernst suggests that reports or at any time is office, which surveyor of the District of Columbia, Secretary tor in- closed to the District Commissioners a copy of the letter from Col. Ernst and requested that steps be taken to cause the transfer to the War Department of the records in question, ‘THE SURVEYOR'S REPORT. When the matter came before the Commie- sioners for action they submitted it to the sur- veyor for his report, This latter report was forwarded several days ago. In it he says that there are a number of plats and papers in his oftice relating to the matters of surveys in the city of Washington, and that these have been in ‘the office of the surveyor to his personal knowledge forty years. While operations in the city of Washington were under the charge of the first Commissioners, under the act of Congress of 1791, he says the Commissioners employed the surveyor and his office was a branch or division of theirs. When the Com- missioners were succeeded by the superin- tendent the surveyor was employed by him. The first distinctive mention of the surveyor of Washington by Congress, he says, seems to be under the acts of March 8, 1803, and March 27, 1804. By various acts of Congress constituting the charter of the former corporation of Wash- ington certain powers and jurisdictions were conferred upon it in relation to streets, &c., of this city to the carrying out of which the as- sistance of the surveyor of Washington was necessary, and by the act of May 17, 1843, continuing, altering and amending the charter of the city of Washington that office was recognized as part of the city government and section 4 provided for his election by the voters of the city. Section 8 gave the corporation certain powers in regard to the making of plats of squares and"subdivis- ions. and by the concluding part of the section the oftice of the surveyor was made “the legal office of record of the plats of all property in the city of Washington,” which, it seems, clearly contemplated making that office the re- pository of al! plats, papers and documents re- lating to the surveys of property in the city, THINKS THEY SHOULD REMAIN. In view of the foregoing report Surveyor Forsyth says, in his opinion, the plats and doc- uments referred to now properly form a part of the archives of the surveyor’s office and to remove any of them would occasion the great- est inconvenience to title searchers, real estate men and District offic Much inconvenience, he continues, is now experienced for want of data pertaining to the laying out of the city now in the oftice of the superintendent of pub- lic buildings and grounds, Capt. Rossell has recommended that a copy of the above report be sent to the Secretary of War. What other action the Commissioners will take is not known, but it is understood that the matter will be thoroughly discussed at the next board session, —————— A FEAST OF FORTY-) NERS, The Association of California Pioneers Celebrate at Marshall Hall. A large number of substantial-looking citi- zeus, with orange buttons in the lapels of their coats, went down the river on the Mount Ver- non steamer this morning. They were not on their way to the tomb of the country’s father, however. Their destination was Marshall Hail. They were the members of the Association of California Pioneers, and the figures '49 on the orange buttons they wore marked them out as forty-niners or friends of forty-niners, In the early days of mining there was a great exodus from the east, of course, and later on many who went out in search of for- tune came back home again with or without the fortune, This association is made up of men who went and then came back, all of them with the desired fortune, it is to be boped. ‘Puistis the fourth reunion of the association. In 1887 the first excursion down the river was given by the pioneers, It was a great success and has been repeated each year, The first detachment went down at 10a.m., the second about 3:30, by the new steamer the MacAlester, There is no prophesying when the pioneers will returp. Pioneers are never ina hurry about getting back, and these particular pioneers went fora good time and they are very likely to have it. A shad bake will be used as the formal excui for the time, but it is understood that no one has promised that there shall be no California wine bottles opened. Col. McKibben has had charge of ail the arrangements and he has made them on an elaborate scale, and if the pioneers and their friends do not enjoy themselves it is not his fault. A number of Californians in the city were in the party, as well as a detachment of forty-niners from Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. Geo. C. Gorham is president of the associa- tion, J. C. McKibben treasurer and Hallet Kil- bourn secretary, MARYLAND REAL ESTATE BOOM. The Great Rise in Prices in Montgomery County, Rockvitie, Mp., May 18. Never in the history of this town has there been such extensive deals in real estate as at the present time. Parties getting up at6 o'clock will find young men of the town going in all directions, under the supervision of civil engi- neers, laying out lots, Land that was not con- sidered three months ago to be worth three hundred dollars per acre is now selling at five cents a foot, The boom is not particularly con- fined to Rockville, but extends all along the line of the Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. At Deerwood, five miles from this place, there is a great demand for building lots and several fine buildings are now being constructed. The prospect of the elec- tric railroad from Washington to this place has given a boom to property all along the line of the old Georgetown pike. During the past week prices of land in that section have arisen fully one hundred per cent, The depot at this Place for several days past has been crowded with strangers from Ohio, Iowa, Illinois and other western localities seeking investments in our iands. During beet aps week Mr. Thos, C, Groomer was awarded the contract to erect a fine residence for Mr, Robt. E. Bradley of the firm of Swormstedt & Bradley, real estate agents, Washington. When completed it will be one of the finest residences of our town, BAM ANACOSTIA, Tae Veamttioxs.—The old men Vermilion pear before grand jury against the parties who lynched Joe Vermili summer They Were promised protection, and on ing Marlboro’ were confined in jail over night, the next morning were charged with some misdemeanors under bonds to ap} at the next term of court.
