With the team out of sight the reason for all this must be matter of surmise, figured out from the scores, The men have evidently lost heart.

YESTERDAY'S GAME. There was but one game played in the Atlantic Association, that unfortunate game in New Haven, where the Jersey City Gladiators took a scalp from the erstwhile leaders, 4 to 1. New Haven had hard luck in the matter of long hats, which the rs persisted in catching. ‘The batteries were Fitzgerald and Murphy and Horuer cud Hofford, Each team made 6 hits “aiaoens.” Auother fine residence is being built for Mr, and 2 errors. ene Gen, Ordway was down at Fort Washington | A.

FROM THE resented in Statuary Hall. A majority of the states have been very slow carved images in the gallery of the great at the Capitol, It was in July, 1864, that Congress passed the law setting aside the old hall of rep- resentatives asa place where might be placed by the states at their own discretion statues of their most distinguished citizens, deceased, not to exceed two from each state. Up to this time but ten states have taken advantage of this privilege, The rest are still unrepresented. It may be that some of the living statesmen think men are not yet deceased who are worthy of being preserved to posterity in imperishable marble at the expense of their respective states. It may be that the states are not ail ready yet | to make the necessary appropriation, What- | ever the reasons, there are many vacant spaces where there ought to be statues of distin- guished men. And incidentally ii may be re- marked that these vacant spaces are more creditable than some of the statues that stand as a discouragement to art, The statute sets aside this hall for the ex- clusive purpose of a repository for statues in marble or bronze which may be erected by the states, Any other statues that may be there, as the cast of the Heudon statue of Washing- | ton, the statues of Lincoln, Jefferson and Baker, stand there merely by sufferance and must be moved whenever their space is wanted, The plaster cast of the Father of Our Country must be carted out when the place is crowded and Montana wants to erect a statue to Russel Harrison or Senator Sanders, for that and the other three statues mentioned belong, by pur- to the United States and have no busi- there, There is a very general impression that the statue of Washiugton is the original | Houdon, which was erected at Richmond by } the state of Virginia, and that it was taken possession of by the United States during the war and never returned to the state.

To the Editor of Tux Evestxe Star: ° “At the “Mohonk Lake conference” just held of pergons interested in the so-called negro problem great prominence was given to industrial education as an educator and an elevator of the negro race. There can be no doubt of the importance and value of this factor.

Livingston. But possibly with an eye to the possible claims of some of her citizens who have yet to die and be put in marble, New York has n r formally presented these statues to the government, as all the other statues have cen presented. In 1876 Vermont presented the statue of Ethan Allen and in 1881 the statue of Jacob Collamer, forever excluding her great men of later date, among them Mr. Edmunds. ‘There is no room for Elja Morse, for Massa- | chusetts has filled her twu places with statues of John Winthrop and Sam Adams, two gentle- men who had something to do with the early history of that state, In 's3 Pennsylvania placed a statue of Robert | Fulton in statuary ball, and a yenr later pre- | sented one of I’eter Muhlenberg, the preacher- statesman-soldier.

NONE FROM THE SOUTH. Not a southern state is represented in this hall by a statue, but it is the desire of Con- gress that all states should be represented, and each state may select those two of its citizens which it most delights to honor. Congress has nothing to say about the selection, the only re- quirement being that the man so honored shail distinguished citizen of the state present- ing the statue.

When asked about this Architect Clark pointed to the terms of the law and said that if a statue of Davis were sent by Mississippi he would ac- cept it as within the provisions of the act. It is hardly to be supposed that when the gouth- ern states begin sending in their statues they willrefrain from sending those of the men they most honor because they took part in the rebellion and perhaps were not reconstructed. the Capito! and to be honoret with the rest of the great men in marble there. ‘Thus far but one statue has been refused, and the refusal in that case was not because the subject was unworthy, but because he was hot a citizen of the state, nor, in fact, lived to | see the nation formed.

There is no doubt that Mr. Reed feels that the immediate future of the party depends upon their putting into execution the plan for a general federal election law which they have been agitating at their conventions for a num- ber of years. At the same tin if anything ie done, he wants it to be complete and effective. A half-way measure would, according to the radical view, be worse than nothing. He does not favor the Rowell bill, but there is a very strong western contingent who do favor it, and who would rather have no legis- lation than to pass the Lodge bill. It is be- | lieved by the advocates of this more conserva- tive measure that it can carry in cauens, If it should it is probable that half the heart of the radicals would be taken out of the issue, and an adjournment might find the bill still un- acted upon. The delay in action by cauc warrants the assumptio# that the conservative element is still stronger in the party. for it is certain that the radicals would strike at once if for a moment they got contro), Ifthe Speaker determins that a radical bill must be passed, whether or no. and sets about to pass it, his pa@ record justifies the belief that he will succecd. The silve hung in cancus just about as this matte hangs until Mr. Keed took the bit in bh now teeth. Now the bill is being debated and wiil certainly pass the House with no amendments not already agreed upon. 'D IN A WRECK.

The appellants excepted to the charge of Judge Barrett that the di- vorce was fraudulent and to other puints in the charge, and also submitted the whether the presence of an cavesdropper in the jury room did not vitiate the verdict, The general term holds that upon the uucontra- dicted evidence the lower court was compelléd to charge that the decree of divorce was void. The sentence of James A. Flack was two months prisonment in the Tombs and $500 fine. The sentence of his fon was four months m- prisonment in the penitentiary and #500 fine. It is believed that the formal order of affirm- ance will be sent from the general term today. | The Flacks will then be notitied to appear for resentence. STONE RELINQU He Will Try to Succeed Bayne in the Regular Way. HES HIS CLAIM. The climax of the exciting events of the work in the twenty-third Pennsylvania con- gressional district came last night when Col. Wie. A. Stone, who was nominated for Con- gress by the republicans last Tuesday after Col. Bayne declined, issued a card resigning his claims to the nomination. Yesterday morning Col, Stone stoutly asserted his intention to stand, but in the afternoon he met a number of friends who told him he could not be elected as matters stood. The county committee will meet on the 14th instant and will order new primaries, Col. Stone will be a candidate, but itis doubtfal whether he can secure the nomination. County Chairman W. D. Porter, Geo. Shiras, 3d, who gave Bayne his strongest fight, and Senator Rutan are spoken of as candidates more likely to win, pase ae emcees His Marked Coin Came Back to Him.
