I don’t mean to imply that there was anything the matter with the game—that was quiet enough, but the disgraceful things I saw outside the grounds made me shudder. Gambling—excuse me, I mean bighway robbery—was openly con- ducted by a set of men who. I learn froma de- tective. came from New York to work here.

The Steamer Mary Washington Driven | A Sweltering Sunday on the Flats. BER SIX HUNDRED PASSENGERS HAVE TO PASS THE NIGHT ABOARD—THEY BEACH HOME SAFELY TRIS MORNING—SCARY TIMES AT MARSHALL BALL, The steamboat Mary Washington, which left Collingwood Beach at 9 o’clock last night with over 600 colored excursionists from this city, who had passed the day there, encountered the severe thunder storm while on her way up and the violent head wind impeded her passage and at length drove her upon the Maryland flats near Fort Foote, There the steamer re- mained all night. An effort was made to get her back to the channel, but without success. Many of the passengers were thoroughly frightened, and the night was spent by some of them in prayer, hymns and confession of Sab- bath breaking. The steamer affords nv slevp- ing accommodations but the decks, and hun- dreds wearied out slept there until daylight this morning, when a aaa scow was obtained and the belated and ship-wrecked pleasure seekers were ferried by the scow-load to Alexandria. The steamer S. J. Pentz, which had come down to carry them to Washington, had landed at Hooe's ope. rae ela og and on that wharf the sand scow ied the passengers by in- stallments, Meanwhile the river, front at lower Prince street was througed with colored men,women and children, hungry, but py ‘and festive, having gotten over the night's troubie and being safe on terra firma again. All the groceries in the neighborhood were filled with customers as soon as their doors opened and everything edibie was purchased. One party came back to the wharf headed by a loaf of bread borne on a pole as a banner, while bags of crackers, sausage and dried beef, with the pies and cake left over from Sunday's sale, furnished the multitude a meager lunch. At length the last passenger was gotten from the grounded steamer and then the gangway of the S.J. Pents was thrown open. The crowd hastened on the boat and witha toot of her — whistle the Pentz came on to Washing- 2. The high tide this morning floated the grounded steamer and at 10 o'clock it was again crowded with colored excursionists who were going to Collingwood Beach today. “There is no danger of any of the Washing- ton’s passengers getting drowned,” remarked one of the officers of the boat this morning, “because when the boat is grounded the water is very shallow and the passengers can wade ashore.” Amoug the passengers on the boat wasa twelve-year-old white boy named Keyes, whose ‘ents reside on McLean avenue southwest, is mother did not know where he hid gone. She was almost frantic and feared that her son had gone in swimming and had been drowned. He arrived on the Pentz this baie | and was on his way home, crying as though his heart would break. One of his neighbors, supposing the boy had been hurt, stopped him and asked: “What are you crying for? ‘Tm id my mother will whip me.” A few minutes later the boy reached home, but instead of getting the anticipated whipping there was a love feast. The Storm at Marshall Hall. Hundreds of people left the city for the pleasure resorts along ths Potomac yesterday and three-fourths of these had Marshall Hallas their objective point, The steamers Macalester and Corcoran were crowded on each trip déwn and when the Macalester left on her last regu- lar trip up the river it was found that there were more than 2.000 people on the grounds that could not geton the steamer. As the evening was sultry those left behind took their discomfiture in good humor and prepared to make the best of the situation, telling them- selves it was better along the cool river shore thay in the hot city. An exception to this class of contented mortals were the mothers and fathers who had families of little children un- der their care and wanted to see them safely at home and in bed for the night. It was about 9 o'clock when a light shower drove all the excursionists to cover, and as the rain ceased falling in about ten minutes they again crowded down on the pier anxiously looking for the return of the Macalester. A PANIC IN THE STORM. It was while this crowd of people, some 700 in number, were on the pier that the terrible electric storm which reached this city about 10 o'clock came on with a rush and burst furiously upon them before they could find sheiter. Like frightened sheep the crowd ran pell-mell for the dancing pavilion, which was soon packed to its fullest capacity. The wind came first with indescribable fury, and in its wake was the pelting rain and blinding lightning. As the rain dashed in upon the illy protected poo- ple children cried, women shrieked and the younger portion of the sterner sex—young men of from seventeen to twenty years—tried to keep up their own and companions’ courage by a continuous singing of the classical “Annie Rooney.” THE RUSH. In the rush for the pavilion hats were crushed. clothes torn and umbrellas scattered about indiscriminately. The little children were about the only ones that suffered bodily harm, as several of them were quite seriously bruised by being trampled upon before being rescued by some kind and sturdy hand. During the raging of the storm the entire crowd was upon tip-toe of expectation, with nerves strung to their highest tension, and had but a limb of a tree broken or a plank or board around the pavilion been heard to give away, a panic and rush would have certainly followed with direful results, When the Macalester returned at about 10:30 arush was again made for her decks and in the crush several little children and women were quite seriously bruised. It was 11:45 o'clock when the excursionists reached the city, and a more thankful, although dampened, party of people would be hard to discover. SHOOTING OFF FIRECRACKERS. The Policemen Bringing Small Boys Into the Police Court. It is against the law to set off firecrackers and other fireworks on the streets and the po- lice have begun to arrest the youthful offend- ers for being previous in their celebration of Independence Day. ‘The result will be,” said @ policeman this morning, “that the little urchins will go into woodsheds and other out- bulldings, and the best thing to do now is to increase the fire department, Johnnie Dawson, a ten-year-old boy, was one of the first victims. He showed his patri- otic spirit Saturday night by setting off some firecrackers and Policeman Curtis arrested him. Judge Miller asked the boy this morning if he knew it was wrong to set off firecrackers and he replied that he did not. The judge told him that it was against the law and told him to tell his mother so. A fine of $10 was imposed and sentence was suspended until Johnnie again violated the law. Cari Au and Maurice Cooney, East Washinw. ton boys, were charged with a similar offense. ‘They were arrested Saturday night by Police- man Parker. As they had done no particular damage their personal bonds were taken Willie Wade and Willie Harbour, »: boys, were charged with disorderly couduct ‘on Defrees street by setting off firecrackers, A colored woman named Annie Benton was the prosecuting witness and she charged the Har- bour boy with having thrown or placed a fire- cracker under her dress. The boy denied the charge, but as the proof was against him the court imposed a fine of $5. The charge against his companion was dismissed, ——_-— Killed at Long Branch. Samuel Tyler, a well-known colored waiter of this city, was killed at Long Branch, N.J., by a pistol shot last week, and his body arrived here Saturday evening and was met and taken to J. R.

It was but a natural thing for any one to ex- pect a rain storm after such a hot day as yes- terday turned out to -be, but no one had any right to look for sucha severe one as that which came swooping down on the town last night There is but little doubt that it was as hot a day as has been experienced this sum- mer, Otherwise it was perfect, and many a Picnic party went strolling out of town into the woods, or toward the wharves, anywhere that seemed likely to be cooler than in the region of the asphalt of the streets. But it was not much cooler anywhere. The sun shone down with a determined persistency, as if bent Upon melting ail the starched linen in exist- ence and rend all the handkerchiefs in the world limp and moppy. It succeeded, as far as the city is concerned, and it did not look from the sky as if there was anything like relief anywhere around here for many a mile. THE THERMOMETERS. It was frightfully hot’ There were some thermometers that modestly registered the heat to be somewhere in the vicinity of eighty, but these were not at all numerous or popular, for it is a peculiar thing about humanity that when it is sweltering from the heat it wants all of the visible effects of the weather to be pa- raded out in all their strength, and it does not tolerate anything in the way of reductions for appearances’ sake. It wants all there is going, 80 as to be pitied, or if every on © is inthe same boat to pity itself. That is oe thermometers which register the very highest and the very lowest temperatures that are to be found are the best for dealers to keep in stock. They are a comfort to have aroun: The majority of the thermometers, however, told the truth yesterday when they shot up to the marks around ninety and stayed there dur- ing the greater partof the day. That was about the average temperature. It may hare been hotter in places, but they are not to be taken as samples. Shortly after 4 o'clock a darkish-looking cloud appeared in the west, and there were blissful prospects of rain, but that seemed to be sent only to tantalize the folks who longed for a storm and to frighten those who were out walking or riding or row- ing or sailing—no, there was not wind enough to sail anything—dressed in their best clothes and wearing their new straw hats, THE STORM. But it came later on. It was about 9 o'clock when it burst upon the city with all of the force of asummer thunder storm, accompanied by plenty of lightning that shimmered and flashed incessantly for about an hour, while the thunder roared and smashed as if it had for- otten how to make a noise and was trying its lungs. It really did seem to be making up for lost time, what with the thunder and the rain, which came down in torrents until the gutters were choked and the sidewalks were over- flowed. It rained in sheets, instead of the regulation drops, or even “*pitchforks,” which is a favorite way it has of, raining in some places, It was not satisfied with simply raining water, but it must go ahead and pelt downa few hundred pounds of hail, ina way that made the florista groan and the owners of skylights scurry up the roof ladders, Trees went down in num- bers, limbs were blown off in scores, and the strects looked as if they had been swept by a genuine cyclone when, at 10 o'clock, the storm passed over and the city was left wet as the proverbial rat that has been so indiscreet as to fall into the water and lose its life, —_>__ EDITORS OF HOOSIERDOM. A Large Party of Indiana Journalists Visit the Capital. More than half a hundred Hoosier editors— molders of public sentiment in that state, which exults in being the mother of at least one President—are roaming around the most beautiful city in the country today. Accom- panying the editors are numerous and at- tractive specimens of Indiana femininity— wives, daughters, sisters, cousins, aunts, The party arrived yesterday morning from Norfolk on the George Leary and every member was pretty thoroughly worn out, for instead of slumbering during the trip they sat up and took their fill of the Potomac’s fine scenery. When they reached the Ebbitt House, escorted by Attorney General Miller, Mr. E. W. Halford, United States Marshal D. N. Ransdell, W. W. Curry, W. M. Meredith, John Chaney, John Green- walt, Frank Buckland, Frank Rawes, Maj. L. P. Williams, Capt. Dowd, Victor Ricketts, T. F. Ryan, Charles Hedges and Giles Smith, the visitors very promptly ate breakfast and re- turned to their rooms. 4 few of them ventured out late in the afternoon, some taking carriages and driving to Soldiers’ Home and Arlington, but the majority dozed through the somewhat warm hours of the day, and when the storm which decorated yesterday evening’s sky was over filled their lungs with good cool air while they surveyed Washington as it is by night, SEEING THE TOWN. Today the gentlemen, who quadrennially argue with each other as to the market valne of “floaters,” will visit the Capitol and some of the departments in blocks of ten or a dozen. ‘This evening the Indiana Republican Associa- tion will give them a rousing reception at Wil- lard Hall. The reception will be shortened, the visitors are due at the Execu- ion, where President Harrison will bid his fellow-Hoosiers welcome to the na- tional capital. The excursion comes to an end tomorrow evening, after the editors have returned from Mount Vernon and Marshall Hall, but many of the party will remain here some days longer. MEMBERS OF THE PARTY.
