The Former Prevented Defeat and the Latter Won the Game. H WHAT a game! It was worth a number of defeats to see the home team win yesterday from the New- arks, when it looked as though nothing short of a miracle could save them from defeat. The score 1% was 5to4, and the game 7 was as close and exciting yy as any game could well be. Nearly a thousand people witnessed it. growing more and more enthusi- astic as the contest grew warm. when, in the eighth inning, Bader turned a backward som- ersault and caught a fly ball, preventing two runs, and then again, in the ninth, a minute later. when Gleason rapped out a three-base hit tothe left center fence and scored the winning run on Bird's fine sacrifice fly. No- body thought then of the bad errors made ear- lier in the game, errors that gave the visitors three of their runs in one inning and presented them with a lead that seemed invincible. But Washington played ball all the time and showed what grit cau do when there is a hill to. climb, After that bad third inning. when @ third of the team were rattled. the Newarks could not score, a stzing of goose eggs being all they could produce. ‘the __ batteries were Phillips and iiddle—the little man with the large voice bobbing up serenely be- hind the bat as though nothing was the matter stations.

New settioments are gradually deve oping into towns, and the summer homes of additions are constantly being made to the at- tractions of the country, and the country club | houses and resorts of various kinds that are | epringing up are indications of the growing importance of the suburbs in the social life of the capital. There are club houses for those who are horseback riders and for those who ride in carriages. Then there are several sum- mer hotels conducted ona scale that a few years ago would have been considered elegant for a hotel in the ci It is evident from the char- acter of the houses built in the suburbs and the numerous places of pleasure resort that the country is enjoyed by the wealthy, while of- fering opportunities to people of moderate means to obtain homes cheaply.

Each ‘itcher got off with light punishment, the hits Rouge fairly well scattered and easy, Outside of the third inning Washington played a fine game of ball, except Jordan, who muffed one fly and then showeda foolish desire to try to roll allover the grounds whenever he went for a hit. Hill's wor! third was very fine indeed, a left- scoop-up of # grounder in the fifth inning ne of the features of the game. He made seven assists and three outs. Bird played second for O’Brien, who had a relapse from the effects of a blow on his head on Tuesday. Bird showed signs of that dread disease, “Charley-horse,” and he went after some of the bails that came his way in a rather awk- ward manner. Nicholas made three good catches in right field, THE RUNS. in the first inning, with Bader out, Gleason went to first oa balls and went to second on Bird’s line drive out to left for a base. Whis- tler’s base on balls filled the diamond and Glea- son scored when Gilbert at third fumbled Jor- dan’s grounder in his anxiety to make a double play. For Newark, with two men out, MeDer- mott, Fields and Dooms each hit for a base and a@run was the result. Neither side did any- thing in the second, although Hill reached third on a hit, a steal and a sacrifice. In the third Bird hit for a couple of bases to the right foul line and was waiting for Whistler to knock him home, when that batter senta ball up toward the sky that seemed safe for three bases at least, but it fell into the left fielder’s hands within a few feet of the left fieldcorner. After one man was out in the last half McDermott hit a liner right through Whistler and Fields sent one over the right fence for two bases. The next man sent one to Bird, who foolishly tried to throw out the runner at the plate and failed, Gleason managed to make an error on the next ball, and Fields scored when Whistler threw badly to the plate to catch hi ‘Three ulted from this demoralization, and the spectators looked to another exhibition like that of the dey before. But they were dis- appointed, in a way that they liked. ‘The Sen- ators began to climb up hill, and by making one run at atime succeeded in tying the score in the sixth inuing. One was made in the fourth, when Gilbert threw Hill's hit so badly to first that the runner went around to third. Philips made a sacrifice to Smith, and Hill co! In the fifth Bader went out ona fly, and Gleason hit for a base. but was forced out at second by Bird. Mr. Sullivan then becams very generous and by giving three men bases on balls in succession forced in a rut Hill tried to score the other three men who were left on the bases bya fine line drive to left field, but it so happened that there was a man right in front of the ball, and the side was put out. Inthe sixth, after two men had gone to the bench from the bat, Bader reached first on balls and stole second, scoriag when Gleason sent a ball spinning out to left, which Johnson let go through him. SAVING THE Gane. It looked very much as though the visitors were going towin the game in the eighth. when, after Hill had made two fine stops and thrown his men out at first, Sullivan hit fora base, Gilbert was hit with the ball and Johnson made a seratch ingle, filling the bases. It was then that Bader made his miraculous catch, with its aerobatic accompaniments, going en- tirely over backward in an effort te hold the ball. After crawling out of this small aperture the home team then proceeded to win the game. Gleason, the first man at the bat, hit the first ball pitched and it went sailing out beyond the tool box in center field, rolling to the fence. Brother Bill kept on pegging until he reached third and then he concluded to stop and rest, while the crowd yelled itself out of voice. Bird came immediately to the rescue with asure sacrifice almost tothe left field fence and Gleason trotted home with the win- hing run unmolested. In the last half Fields, the giant over-t! fence hitter of the Newarks, came to the bat first, and as he had made two hits already the crowd squeezed. A crooked ball hit him lightly on the arm and he went to Dooms ‘sacriticed to the pitcher, but Smith went out to Nicholas, and Hill made one of his sure stops of Mansell’s bail, and the side was retired with Fields still on second Washington made eight hits and six errors and Newark nine hits and four errors, ‘The score by innings: Washi 1001 A TIE GAME. The Columbia Athletic Club’s ball team played a tie game with the Alerts yesterday afternoon on Analostan Island, the score being 2 to 2 at the end of the ninth inning, when the game was called on account of darkness.

Testimony for the Defense in the Trialof Gateman Richardson. The trial of John A. Richardson, the gateman at Bennings road crossing on the Baltimore and Potomac railroad, for manslaughter in having caused the death of Francis Godfrey December 14 last, was continued in the Criminal Court yesterday after our report closed. Officer Wheelock testified to running the to the scene of the accident and said he went to the telephone and called the ambulance. On cross-exainination he said that Richard- son was then attending to his business, having his lantern in his hands and seeing to clearing the tracks, The gates were at an angle—about half down. This closed the government's case. TESTIMONY FOR THE DEFENSE, ‘Mr. Garnett for the accused stated that they expected to show that the party in the wagon were drunk and noisy; that Richardson was at his Rost and seeing them approaching called to them, and at the time he was lowering the gates; that they paid no attention to him and drove on, the wagon top striking the gate arm and leaving it in the position described by the last witness, L. W. Ford, colored, was the first witness for the defendant, He testitied that he was to have gone in the wagon from Walker's saloon, but was left behind; that the men in the wagon had all been drinking, excepting Godfrey, per- haps, and were noisy, Peter Cleaveland, the driver of the ambu- lance, testified that he took Brown to the hospital and that he appeared to have been drinking. ‘The jury was respited to Monda: ee FAMILIES OF STARS. Stellar Clusters and Nebula—An Inter- esting Lecture by Prof. Searle. Prof. George M. Searle lectured yesterday afternoon at the Catholic University on “Mul- tiple Stars, Clusters and Nebule.” Among other things he said: All over the heavens we find what are called double stars; stars, that is to say, so close together that in some cases they fail to be recognized as double, except with a tele- scope of considerable power. Often, however, they are more easily separable, and they were known even during the last century to exist in considerable numbers. They were supposed to present this appearance merely by accident, one of the stars being fur behind the other and falling accidentally in line with it. It was not till Sir William Herschel had made a sur- vey of the whole heavens, with the idea mainly of using the double stars, on this supposition, for the determination of parallaxes that the idea came to men’s minds that, after all, per- haps there really was a physical eonncetion be- tween them, and that instead of being at widely different distances, they were really at the same distance from the earth. Sir Wm. Herschel, the great founder, we may say of solar physics, was the first to put this idea on a scientific basis. He constructed in 1782 a catalogue of 227 double stare in addition to the 42 previously known, and by 1785 he had found 434 more. In 1803 he was able to bring positive proot of their physical connection by detecting the fact that many of the doubie stars had a mutual revolution round each other as if under the influence of mutual gravity. He went so far as to assign periods to some of them. For Castor he found » period of 342 years. In 1824 time gave the final seal to this conclusion of Herschel and the orbital move- ment had become then, in many cases, quite unquestionable. In one case, for instance, one revolution had been fully accumplished and another one begun. ORBITS OF DOUBLE STARS. No method of computing accurately the or- bits of double stars was discovered till 1830, Which is rather strange, considering that the problem is quite simple. This may be ex- plained by the want of thorough belief and ‘een interest in the matter previous to the ob- servations of Sir John Herschel and Sir James South in 1824, just spoken of. These double stars, as stated iu a previous lecture, are the means by which we arrive at some idea of the stellar masses, Given their distances from us we know how far they are from each other, and from that anu their time of revolution we find how great their mass is by the qmount of cury- ature of their orbit. We cannot, however, tell in this way the separate masses of the stars un- less we can find out not merely the relative but the absolute movement of one of then In some cases, however, this has been done. The bright star Sirius was found by observations of its actual. place to move in a Tittle orbit in the ky. No companion, however, was seen until 1862, when Mr. Clark, with the new Chicago telescope, discovered the companion which had previously been indicated. he star Procyon shows similar movements, but no companion toit hes yet been found. We are, however, quite certain that 1t exists. A CONTRAST OF coLoRs. A curious fact about double stars is the con- trast in color which often occurs in them when their brilliancy is notably different. In this case the color of the fainter star is alw: nearer to the biue end of the spectrum. In many cases we find more than two stars in asystei. ‘he orbit, however, of a triple or a multiple star is always beyond the power of man to calculate. The problem of three bodies, so called, except under certain circum- stances, such as exist in the solar system, has never been, and we may safely say never’ will be, solved, There are combinations of stars, however, much more complicated than these.’ They are called clusters. The most conspicuous ex- ample of these is the well-known group of the Pleiades. It isnot, however, so rich and full as most of those which the telescope reveals. Another one visible to the naked eye is that known as Praesepe, or the Bee-hive, in the constellation Cancer, ‘The question naturally rises, are these stars crowded together in this way really suns like our own and the others which have been ex- amined?

It is far more probable that they are within the limits of our own stellar system. Whether the stars are of ordinary size or not cannot be said with cer- tainty. butitseems probable that they are comparatively small, CLUSTERS AND NEBULE. There seems to be a connection between these clusters and what are known as nebula, Nebulw are patebes of light appearing like parts of a comet’s tail, or in some cases like a telescopic comet itself. They were formerly supposed to be clusters like those we have seen, only beyond our available object power and that is all, But it has been lately demon- strated by the spectroscope that this cannot be the case in many instances because this instu- ment shows clearly that many of the nebula are gaseous. Nebulv are also variable in some cases in their brilliancy, and it seems probable that some which have actually existed have disappeared. In some cases they are evidently connected with stars, asin the nebule found in the Pleiades. The whole number of nebule which have been discovered is abont 10,000. ‘The size of some of them is astonishing. For instance weare able to say with confidence that the section of the great nebulw of Orion, which we see, is at least ten thousand times as large as that of our whole planetary system.

THE OPEN-AIR RIFLE PRACTIOR—A STATEMENT FROM INSPECTOR GENERAL POLLARD—THE TWO OFFICERS TO BE COURT-MARTIALED—NOTES FROM HEADQUARTERS, This is the most trying time of the year for the District National Guard. The sixth and eighth battalions and the cavalry have been in- spected during this week, and they are now without any apparent care. Other battalions are waiting for their medicine, and most of them will get it during the coming week. There were s good many visiting guardsmen at the Arcade drill hall last night when the sixth bat- talion was being officially gazed at by Inspector General Gale, assisted by Capta, C. H. Ourand and Richard A. O'Brien. As a whole the occa- sion was very satisfactory, but no one will know just what the inspecting officers think of it un- til their report has been received at headquar- ters. Guardsmen generally are waiting for the coming of Thursday night next, when the sec- ond battalion will be out for inspection. Every- body wants to see how Company A (the Cor- coran Cadets) will turn out while their little family quarrel is in progress. Up to the present time the cavalry boys are away ahead of any of the commands, and the critical soldiers who watched them on Wednes- day evening say that the battalion which reaches the yellow-striped persimmon ot perfection will have to be possessed of a very long pole. The light battery folks believe they will prove them- selves at least a match for Capt. Barbour's troopers. TALKING ABOUT RIFLE PRACTICE AND “Icy.” An extraordinary amount of interest con- tinues to be manifested in the rifle practice, which is going on during this month at the Washington Barracks range. Those who quali- fied in the gallery but failed in the open air have not allowed themselves to become dis- couraged; they are hard at work in the gallery again, determined to “get there” at the earliest possible date. The men who have succeeded at the range have, in the main, done more than well; certainly better than they were expected todo. Much of this is undoubtedly due to the faithful instructions given by the inspectors. Capt. Cash, the inspector of rifle practice for the first regiment, has been untiring in his ef- forts to bring’ men up to the attainable standard of efficiency and he has never stopped to inquire whether the seeker after information belonged to his regiment or not; he has been ubiquitously invaluable— equally satisfactory as an instructor or a score maker, Capt. Bell, the second regiment in- spector, has also done a great deal of good work—work that must tell later in the season. Some of the battalion inspectors have toiled with marked fidelity through what was really ® most trying eee They will all be re- warded when the local team comes home loaded with trophies. Even now Maj. Pollard, the inspector general of rifle practice, smiles on them in his quiet way and says, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.” He would say more if he was not over head and ears in busi- ness, His load of responsibility, lightened as it is by Capts, Cash and Bell, is still quite weighty. STRICT ATTENTION TO BUSINESS. The following official statement as to target practice—past and present—has been furnished by Maj. Pollard: “There have been two preliminary tests of the shooting ability of cligibles in the National Guard—one on the 7th instant, the other on Weduesday last—and at these 120 men have faced the targets, Under the rules all persons unable to make 50 per cent have been retired, the high wind of the 14th materially assisting the reduction. “The following pee peas have made the requisite scores and will practice again on Wednesday next: Col. Clay. Maj, Pollard, Capts, Cash, Bell, Ourand, Suess, O’Brien, Buck, Rawles and Yates; Lieuts. Graham, Vale, Eiker, Arnold, Alexander, Jacobson, Hill, Ebert, Wheeler and Farrabee; Sergts. Mitchell, John- son, Rennie, Harries and Friedmann; Privates Walter Cash, Hutterly, Henry, ezeck, Logan. Rollins, Lucas, Stewart, Edwards, Hemingway, Webber, Gaubin, Fitzhugh, Jones and Clark; forty in ail. “This number is still somewhat unmanage- able but it will doubtless be reduced by failures to keep up the required percentage and by ab- senteeism, the latter being extremely undesire- ble. It is necessary that all shall attend the regular Wednesday practice, sv that compara- tive progress may be of record and that there may be no doubt as to thé rolative merit of the men, Possibly the scores made on the 2Ist in- stant will be published; those made on the 28th and subsequent practice days will certainly be. “Owing to the diticuity of at once communi- cating with the men through the mails or by Png ba the inspector general of ritle prac- tice will publish in Tue Evenixc Star of each Saturday orders for practice during the ensuing week. Extra practice days will be announced, when those deficient at any range or in any position will be instructed to remedy the trouble. Scores made on such occasions will not be published. “It is very gratifying that so many of the ex- perts are company ollicers. The experience gained by them will be invaluable to the entire command. Future selections of inspectors of rifle practice will most probably be made from the more efficient of the enlisted men or those who thoroughly master the details of practice,” THE TERKONS OF THE LAW. Next Thursday evening a general court- martial will be held at the second regiment headquarters, but Surgeon Sumby will not be the only one on trial. Second Lieut. Morrow of Company A, second battalion (Corcoran Ca- dets), will be called upon to defend himseif against the charges made by Capt, Edwards, The captain says the lieutenant has been guilty of “conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline.” It is hardly probable that the lieutenant will appear, for he has sent in bis resignation. Under the circumstances this will hardly be accepted. Military ideas refuse to allow an officer to resign while he is under charges. Capt. Edwards bases his com- piaint on the ground that Lieut, Morrow signed and circulated a petition asking him (Edwards) to resigu his command, A somewhat ludicrous feature in Surgeon Sumby’s case was the doctor's refusai to re- ceive the charges when the adjutant general forwarded them to him by messenger. The papers were then sent hin by mail, in a registered package, but he would have none of them, Sumby will be represented in the court- martial by W. Calvin Chase. SPLASH LEAD. The brigade board of examination will meet on June 2, instead of on May 22, as was pre- viously announced, HL. W. Sessford has been ordered before the medical board for examination as to his fitness for the hospital stewardship of the second bat- talion. Many changes among the officers of the guard may be looked for during and shortly after this week. Adjutant Smith of the sixth battalion ‘has re- signed. There is hot competition for the va- cancy. The fish commission has closed its session at Fort Washington, Preparatory camp work will now proceed without interfering with the scientists or the fish. Gen.

A Doubt as to the Constitutionality of the Game in Pennsylvania. Incidentally yesterday afternoon. during the argument in the Grant injunction case at Har- risburg, Judge Simonton expressed a doubt as to the right of many clubs under their charters to play professional base ball for frofit. He said the intent of the law was mutual benefit and sport for the coer} of such clubs, but that the act of assembly had been perverted. He was strongly opposed to all kind of | pro- fessional ball playing. According to his view it 1s doubtful if most contracts of players art binding. 8 About Pearline, From Watchman. Every one knows about Pearline, almost every one uses Pearline, but we wonder if all the housekeepers who use it know half that can be done with it. We wonder if they all know what some of the bright ones have dis- covered, that those mountains of dish washing —the greasy pan and agent be reduced to mole hills of the smallest size by the judi- cious use of Pearline. Fill the roasting pan, as soon as the gravy is poured from it, with cold water, shake in a little Pearline and set on the the time greasy been boiled in the same way, and besides clean utensils you will have a clean sink, the use of the Pear! rendering it safe to pour such dish- water into it.

The ninth ballot, ail counted, was taken, and the announcen Carlisle 72, made, when, above the wild cheer- ing, was heard a strong Voice moving to make the nomination unanimous by acclamation. ‘The motion was carried. BECK'S MANTLE AS LEADER. Mr. Carli leading position in the Senate almost from the start. Mr. Beck was the democratic leader in | 5, that body, and Mr. Carlisle is expected to fill his place, not nominally merely, but actually. Mr. Carlisle is» very different man from what Beck was. He is not as positive or aggressive and has not the firmness—-the Scot -h stubborn- ness and vigor of expression—that was #0 marked in Beck, but he has the capability to deal with broad questions which iuarks him for leadership. It is believed that he will find a better field for the exercise of his po the Senate than in the House, where the noisy bickerings bave always been ‘more or less dis- tasteful to him. In the Senate he will not have to make a change in his nature. as Blackburn did, to put himself in harmony with his sur- roundings. He will make a proper successor to Beck and the state will lose none of his pres- tige with him as her leader in the Senate, MR. CARLISLE’S SERVICE. Mr. Carlisle has served three terms as Speaker of the House, and asa presiding officer won the respect and high regard of every man in the House, regardiess of politics. His career is ripe with all the honors the House could be- stow and his transfer to the upper chambs comes at an opportune time, As long as he re- mained in the House he would be the leader of the democrats; ke could occupy no second place. Yet it was well understood that he did not desire to be Speaker again if the deme came into power at the next Con His transfer to the Senate gives him a new ticld, where his friends are sure he will earn th highest distinction of any democrat, Carlisi well informed on state affairs and 1 d to be the ablest democrat in the House. The one complaint that has sometimes been made against his leadership is that he has too sens tive regard for the courtesy due an antagonist, and that he will not engage in arough and tumble fight. The leader of the House must be something of a slugger as well is a states- man if he is going to undertake to fulfill all demands made upon him. ‘he singger quali- ties are not essential inthe Senate and Mr, Carlisie’s friends expect him to win fresh honors there. He is a superior thinker, a good talker and conservative in political methods. THE SUCCESSION IN THE HOUSE. His going from the House will leeve no one there of his peculiar qualities, and there is considerable discussion over the question of succession to his place, It is believed that Breckinridge of Kentucky will succee 1 him on the committee of rules, and that Wilson of West Virginia will take his place on the ways and means committee. Mr. Mills, from position, will naturally be the leader of t party onthe floor, but in the democratic there are many leaders, and the retireme Mr. Carlisle will open up the rivalry for the foremost position. The democrats are very hopecal ok kw Css meat Bawa coe if they do there comes the queston of the Speakership. The prominence attained at this session would count for much in such a contest. If the democrats should vet the next House there would be many speaker- ship candidates in the field and there would be a very lively contest. For some time,especially duriug this session, many democrats have looked upon Crisp of Georgia as the coming leader, ‘Thigyfact has made him the object of some jealousics and several blows have been aimed at him in secret. ‘The retirement of Mr. Carlisle, it is believed, will advance the Georgi leader. ' Wilson of West Virginia, McMillin and Breckenridge of Arkansas will all cowe to the front. SISTARE The New York Broker Released From Ludlow Street Jail, W. HM. Sistere, the broker who has been in Ludiow street jail on a civil suit brought by Richard Hecksher to recover $112,000 of securi- ties said to have been deposited with § firm before its failure, got #75.000 bail yester- day afternoon and was released, His sureties are “Deacon” 8. V. White, who pledged a $60,000 house on 72d street; Mrs. Eliza B. Downing and John J. Barcball. Judge Lawrence of the supreme court denied the application of W. H, Sistare and others for a commission to exaxaine certain parties in De- troit in a suit brought by Stephen Stanton upon a promissory note for #25.000, purporting t have been executed by George K. Sistare’s Sons. The defense is that the note was signed by the plaintiff's bro shout authority. CAUSE OF THE MINE ACCIDENT, John Allen Lit a Naked Lamp and Ex- ploded the Gas. ‘There can be no question that but for a fatal mistake made by John Allen, the assistant in- side boss, who was taken out alive from the Wilkesbarre mine, but died yesterday morning, many if notallofthe entombed men could have been rescued alive. The other two sur- vivors, Frain and Roberts, have told how it happened. When the cave-in occurred the men were at work in their chambers, but escaped into the gangway. Here a cousuitation was held and exploring parties were sent to examine every means of sublet, but found all blocked. Several hours were epent in these fruitless efforts, Then Allen advised that they try this, believing it dangerous, and decided to remain where they were until help came, Allen, Fraine and Roberts started off above. They made their way along the gangway and entered several of the old chambers. but could find no means of getting out. They found the air much better than they expected. The only light they had was a safety lamp carried by Roberts, Finally they entered one of the cham- bers, the very one into which the opening was made, They had only gone in a few yards when Allen, judging the air good, said he would light his naked lamp. Roberts protested, saying it was too dangerous, but Alien persisied. He bent down, struck a match and lighted his lamp. As he stood up its fiame fired the gas. There was a slight explosion in the chamber and the three men were thrown down uncon- scious, where they weré tound. This blazing must have firod the gas that had accumulated in large quantities in the gang- way and the terrific explosion followed that hurled all the other men to instant death. It has now been ascertained that the total number of those who have lost their lives will reach thirty-one, and it is possible that there may be even more, $66 DELAWARE FARMERS’ DEMANDS.

The girls employed by Zeiner & Feldstein, manuf. ors of artificial flowers and feathers on the sixth floor of 624 Broadway, New York, crowded into the elevator at the close of their day's work yesterday. They were packed J like sardines in a box, as the elevator car is only five feet long and two and a half feet wide. Wm. Wallace, who runs the elevator, stood ready to start it when one of the cables broke and the elevator shot down like lightning, Wallace grabbed the check rope as the car started, but his thumb was torn by the friction and be was obliged to let go. The girls screamed and hung to each other as they sped down, The elevator car struck the ground floor with a ci MES in the adjs v crash and ran into the hallway and helped tae panic-stricken girls out of the elevator into ‘oadway.
