OWEVER we may have re- garded the matter a couple of weeks ago. it is certain enough today that the chedule committee of the \tiantic Association was hard on the Washington club in giving it two games to play in Wor- coster yesterday, for they thus gare the Sena- tors two opportunities to lose. which they grasped very neatly. Worcester was very Incky in meeting the down-sliding Statesmen and they took advantage of the occasion to forge abead and tie Baltimore for second place, while the home team glided gracefully into fifth po- sition. Tux Srak yesterday told the story of the first game. 8 to ie Statesmen couldn't bat and at tie same time they, played poorly in the field. Phillips pitched well, but it was @ great handicap to have the men behind him eso many mixplays. Bird hit the bail for four bases and that was almost all Washington could do at the bat. Washington made 4 hits and 9 errors, and Worcester 7 hits and 1 error. ‘The Post Newsboys team is trying to get a game with the victorious Columbia Athletic bo but somehow or other the contest is held ‘The game in the afternoon was not quite so discreditable a defeat, but it was a deteat just the same.

The other afternoon games resulted as fol- lows: The Baltimore team went to New Haven and played the most remarkable game on record. or fourteen innings the two clubs struggled. but not a run was made. and the game was called a tie after three hoars and five minutes of strife. Baker and Townsend and Doran and Hofford were the eries. New Haven made 7 bits and 2 errors and Battimore 2 hits and 4 errors. The game was witnessed by 6.100 peopie. At Newark the home team won from Jersey City, 10 to 7. Redmond, Fitzgerald and Murphy and Sullivan and Duffy were the bat- teries.

THE QUESTION OF THE BOY'S AGE came up, when a sister of the prisoner took, the stand wnd stated that he was born February 18, 1875; but when she stated that she was but seven years older than he the court asked for better evidence. The fathee of the boy was sent for and the family Bible, and Gen. Carrington suggested, in answer to Mr. Lipscomb’s statement, that it was difficult to tell the Age of colored people; that Col. Wood, an Virginian, said be as from the eyes and teeth of the boy that was fiftecn years old, The boy's father returned to the court room about noon, and the record in the family Bible confirming the sister's statement that the boy was born, February 19, 1875, the court sen- tenced him tothe reform school di peony se] luring mi- —_——_-— Grip Leads to Insanity.

Cross, the Wii Ji Among the prisoners who were at court this morning was Wm. Douglas Cross, the colored man convicted March 29 of the murder of his wife, Hattie Cross, by shooting her in the head in October last near 7th street and Virginia avenue southwest, Messrs, C. Maurice Smith and Joseph Shil- lington, the prisoner's counsel, took a number of exceptions on the trial to the ruling of the court and also moved for a new trial, which motion was overruled on Wednesday last, and also took an appeal to the General Term, which necessitated the setting of the date of execu- tion some months ahead. Cross, who had kept up his spirits well during the trial, broke down on his return to jail last Wednesday. When he appeared in court this morning he was looking very much oppressed, His aged father was by his side to comfort him. At 10:35 o'clock Cross was placed at the bar and the chief justice asked him if he had any- thing to say. ‘He replied: “May it please your honor, Iam an innocent man; innocent before God.” This was spoken in a low and husky voice, indicating emotion. ‘The chief justice said the jury had thought otherwise and the court did not think that ey wers prejudiced against him, He had been ably defended during the trial and there could be no cause for refiection on the men who con- victed him. There was nothing left for the court to do but to impose the sentence of the law, which was that he be taken to the jail and be kept in close confinement until the 9th day ot January, 1891, and between the hours of 10 a.m. and 12m. be taken to the place of execu- tion in the walla of the jail and be hanged by the neck till he be dead, addin Lord have mercy upon your soul.” Cross did not break down, as was expected, and seemed to have prepared himself for it, evidently having hopes of a new trial being granted. CROSS SEEKING CONSOLATION, Cross was completely overcome by the execu- tion at tho jail Thursday, and the thought of being sentenced today, and last night he was 30 broken up that he had to be removed from his own cell and placed with Henry Williams, the murderer of ex-Policeman Alder, who is soon to be sent to Albany for life. Cross has expressed a desire to be placed in the cell adjoining the one occupied by Wm. Briggs, who was con- vieted of murder and granted a new trial, so that he and Briggs can converse with each other. Rev. Mr. Roberts, who has acted as spiritual adviser of mapy condemned men, has been requested to visit Cross, which he wili shortly do, WHERE IS ig: “May the ee “CURLEY” HARRIS?

From my experience I conscien- tiously believe that Swift's Specific (8.8.8) has no ‘equal as a blood purifier andI cheerfwily recommend it to any one suffering from any disease of the blood.

Fatal Premature Explosion of the Cart- ridge ot a Big Gun on the Alliance. A report has been received at the Navy De- partment from Commander Henry C. Taylor, commanding the U.S.S. Alliance, now on her way to China, stating that on the morning of the 9th instant, while the ship was cruising in the Mediterranean and the crew was at target Practice, Boatswain's Mate J. McGowan was in- stantly killed by the premature explosion of a 60-pounder breech-loading rifle. He wi captain of the gun and was in the act of lock- ing the breech mechanism when the cartridge exploded, blowing the plug entirely through his body, which vas torn apart. The trunk lay some distance from the legs, across the ship's deck from the gun, Commander Taylor immediately ordered a board of officers to’ in- vestigate the cause of the explosion, their re- port ‘only deepening the mystery. ‘They could find nothing to show that the primer had been pidved in the vent, as ordinarily its shell remains in the vent when exploded, and there was none to be found on this occasion. Me- Gowan was known to be a careful gunner, well acquainted with ordnance, and he had taken every precaution. The board came to the con- clusion that in the turning of the breech plug into place the metal must have struck a spark and ignited the cartridge. No biame was at- tached to any one for the accident. a War Dox’r you occupy a part of your leisure | time in making an effort to win ‘one of Tae Sran’s liberal prizes offered in its advertise ment contest? ieee i The Normannia’s Maiden Speed. The Normannia, the latest addition to the | fleet of the Hamburg-American Packet Co., came into New York yesterday mornin, She g all voyages and fulfilled the expectations of her owners and admirers.

He regaleda select circle yesterday | with two reminiscences apropos of the manner ‘in which juries sometimes arrive at their ver- | dicts, In both instances he derived a benefit | from having a friend on the jury.

Lawyer Stewart resolved to put a boid face on the matter and demanded of the jury a verdict for at least $125. When the verdict was rendere{ Lawyer Stewart was much surprised to tind that it was in his favor | for $287. He afterward asked an acquaintance of his who was on the jury how the verdict had been reached. ‘-You see, Mr. Stewart,” said his | friend, “we could agree upon no amount, and | finally it was resolved that each juryman should | write’a sum on a piece of paper. and the total |should be divided by twelve, which should be the verdict. Knowing that all the others were fora small verdict { wrote 23,000” On an- other occasion Lawyer Stewart made a bold, but, as he believed, unsuccessful claim for a Verdict of £200, and was correspondingly as- touisked when the jury gave him $200. You see, Stewart,” said a friend of his upon the jury, “there were ten of us who wouid have |given you any amount you asked, but there | were two who only wanted to give $150. Fi- nally it narrowed down to $150 against $250, the smaller amount being championed by the two men, and it was resolved to write the two amounts on slips of paper and place them in a hat, which was to be held by one of the two men while the other drew one of the papers, the amount written on it to be our verdict. This was done and theslip with $250 came out, which verdict was accordingly rendered. But you ought to have seen the faces of those two men,” continued the juryman, “when I in.

A few bottles of SWIFT'S SPECIFIC (S.8.S.) cured her of Erysipelasand other blood troubles. From the first her appetite increased, and ber general health improved in every way. She considers 8.9.9, the best blood purifier and tonic she ever saw, and is willing forany one suffering as she was to be re ferred to her.” BOILS ALL OVER HIS BODY.

A New York letter in the Philadelphia Times says: ‘Perhaps the most interesting figure of the Cleveland administration is the ex-Presi- dent's former private sceretary. The mys- | tery of Lamont is profound. He is effacing himself thoroughly and pushing the inter- ests of his friends. Those friends are three of | the richest men in New York. Lamont has | impressive offices in the Mills building, and | the whole desire of his life seems to be to sink into apparent oblivion. He is forever | trying to get ont of sight. When he enters a cab he puils down the shade. and his favorite seat on an elevated train is at the tail end of the lust car with his back to his fellow pas- sengers. He goes to his office very early in the morning, sides in through « private door and remains secluded until all but his con- | fidential clerk have departed fer the night. | He is successful m an extreme de; » but | he is as anxious to keep this knowledge from |mankind as most men are to conceal a failure. Lamont seldom smiles. He is thinner than when he was in Washington, and his long | vigils at his desk have cast a pullor over a face He is destined to be a very rich man, and there is no doubt that his fortune has grown to comfort- | able proportions, The greatest success of the | ex-private secretary has been won by the intro- | duction of the element of honesty in dealing | with the political rulers of New York city. They have not been approached that way in a ' very long time, and probably Lamont’s success | Was as wuch due to the novelty of his attack as |to any other cause. For many years it has | been the custom in New York for capitalists | who wish to introduce a reiiroad or any other similar inqwoverant to attempt by means of bribery and corruption to push their measures | through. It was usually a question of price. | Mr. Lamont has returned to the primeval plan | of operations by offering a liberai franchise to the city in wu open and honorable way.

No other Baking Powder is “just as good as the ‘Royal’ either in strength, purity or wholesomeness. The “Royal” is superior to all others in all ways. Most housekeepers know this from their practical experience, and the reports of the U. S. Government investigations show it officially. The Government chemist says the “Royal” is “undoubtedly the purest and most reliable baking powder offered to the public.” If some grocers try to sell another baking powder in place of the “ Royal” they do so because they can make a greater profit upon the other; good evi- dence of the superiority of the “Royal.” To give greater profit the other must be a lower-cost powder, and to cost less it must be made with alum or cheaper and inferior materials. Because the “Royal” uses more highly refined and expensive materials it costs more to manufacture than any other baking powder, but it is correspond- ingly purer and higher in leavening strength, and accordingly of greater money value to consumers, although the retail price to them is generally the same. Consumers are entitled to full value for their money, and therefore will not, if wise, accept any substitute for the “ Royal.” Unfortunately, not only are many of these would-be substitute powders made from inferior and unwholesome materials, but they are placed before the public with advertisements intended to mislead as to their true character. A.powder advertised by its manufacturers to have printed upon its label all the ingredients used in it, proves upon analysis to have in its composition four substances not named upon its label, two of which are lime and sulphuric acid. Most of the alum powders are fraudulently sold as pure cream of tartar goods. The danger incurred, should such powders be substituted for the “Royal,” ‘will be apparent.to every consumer, Bioon Tust. .a68 NO RETURN OF DISEASE. “Twas troubled for years with # Blood Poison tm ite ‘Very worstform.
