The Infantry Will Not Go Away. The white coats of the Light Infantry will not decorate the ball room of the Stockton at Cape May this season, nor will the soldier- loving lassies of Sarstoga have a chance to ‘ol. Moore’s command. Both Cape atatoga have been competing for the attendance of the infantry during the latter art of August, but ata meeting of the corps jast night the whole matter of an independent camp was laid on the table and indefinitely postponed. Two important reasons have here- tofore prevailed with the infantry as to these independendent excursions—they were holi- days with not enough of the military in them to hurt, and they brought numerous dollars to the corps treasury. This year there is much in- terest being taken in the Nationa! Guard en- campment, which comes off next week at Fort Washington, and as most of the men could not possibly go to both the fort and the summer Tesort it was decided to make a good showing at the former. bs ————— Gen.

The board presented Mr. Towers with a silver service in recognition of his sery- oon, WHIPPED IN NEW HAVEN. How the Washingtons Lost Yesterday’s . Game in New Haven. After having won two games through sheer good luck the assigned Senators had a taste of that sort of thing themselves yesterday at New Haven, where the jeaders of the association defeated them by a score of 6to 2. It was all done in the ninth mning, after two men were out and the Statesmen had begun to feel reasonably sure of a victory. Underwood and Riddle and Gilliland and Hofford were the bat- teries. Gilliland was very effective through- out the game, and but for rank support in the first inning would have shut the Senators out, Underwood was quite as much of @ puzzle until the end of the game and his weakness then was fatal. In the first inning Bader and Gleason scored on a hit by the former and bad errors by Cahill and Lang. The other side made arun in the third, but there the tally stood up to the ninth, when New Haven broke away and won easily. Two men were on the bases and two were out when Gilliland placed a neat hit into right field, just out of Bird's reach. Two runs were scored, just enough to win, but the leaders were not content with this, Lang went to first on balls and McKeo made e four-bagger over the right fence, scoring three more runs. Five scores were made altogether, four of them earned, and the Senators had to be satisfied with a dis- appointed hope. New Haven made 10 hits and 3 errors, and Washington 4 hits and 1 error. OTHER GAMES. Wilmington whipped Baltimore, 11 to 10, fighting up hill with great pluck. Wehrle and Corcoran and Baker and Tate were in the points, Ray's batting was the feature of the game, Out of five times at bat he secured éwo singles, two triples and ahome run. Wil- mington made 12 hits and 4 errors and Balti- moro 17 hits and 2 errors. Worcester regained fourth place by defeat- ing Jersey City 2 to 1 through the remarkable ing of Campion, who made two of Worces- ter’s three hits, both of its runs and stole three bases. The batteries were Stafford and Guinasso and Fitzgerald, McDermott, Dowd and Murphy. Worcester made 3 hits and2 errors and Jersey City 8 hits and 2 errors. Hartford scalped Newark for Washington's sake 2to 1, scoring both runs in the Jast in- ning. Stail and Stallings and Miller and Childs were the batteries. Hartford made 5 hits and 4 orrors and Newark 6 hits and 1 error, Games in other leagues were: National League—At New York—New York, 1; Cincinnati, 6. At Philadelphia—Philadel- phia, 17; Pittsburg, 1. At Boston—Boston, 17; Cleveland, 8. At Brooklyn—Brooklyn, 10; Chi- cago, 3. Players’ League—At New York—New York, 5; Cieveland, 10.

Yesterday the league games drow 5,241 Reo- ple and those of the brotherhood 5,437, ‘The gain was in Philadelphia, Bader keeps up his batting gait. He made two of the four Senatorial hits yesterday. Hill and Underwood made the others. Whistler se- cured the error prize. President J. J. Kennedy of Worcester has withdrawn again from base ball. He must be the second cousin of some prima donna, who always makes her “farewell tour.” This time, as usual, his retirement is “for good.” Some of the Worcester home games may be played in Providence, Manager Barnie_ is hunting for a third base- man to succeed Werrick, whose playing is too careless to suit William, although he gets the highest salary on the team. Hartford has released Pitchers Doyle and Lyston and has signed Kidd. ‘A queer spectacie was presented at the Brook- lyn Brotherhood grounds yesterday, Four umpires reported forthe game by mistake, and all were put to use, one calling balls and strikes behind the bat and the other three on the respective bases. The men were Jones, Knight, Ferguson and Holbert. Over in New York there was no official mupire. Imagine Nick Young making a mistake like that! John Ward is the first brotherhood batter to cross the century base hit line, ; The race stands: Club. Lost.)

FIREBUG AND RAZOR CARRIER, A South Washington Girl Disappears | A Dangerous Boy From Sandy Springs Crrveraxo's Supetor Baxrxo Pownre, SHE LEFT HER YOUNGER SISTER OX THE STREET AND BADE HER GO HOME—TWO DAYS OF ANX- IETI—THE FATHER INCLINED TO THE THEORY THAT SHE HAS ELOPED. Mattie Simmons, a girl fourteen years old, disappeared Sunday afternoon and has not been seen or heard of since, either by her Parents or the police. Her father is George A. Simmons, and he lives at No. 982 F street southwest. The missing girl is large for her age and is rather pretty. Her parents are terribly distressed, Mattie left home Sunday morning to attend Sunday school at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, corner of 11th and H streets northwest. She took with her her sister Ella, who is three years her senior. AFTER SUNDAY SCHOOL Mattie and her younger sister went to visit Mrs. Clinton Smith, who lives on Massachu- setta avenue northeast between Ist and 2d streets. It looked so much like rain when the girls reached Mrs, Smith’s house that instead of going on home they stayed to dinner. They remained at Mra, Smith’s until nearly 7 o’cloci in the evening, when they bade Mrs. Smith good-bye and left, starting toward 1st strect as though they were going home, TOLD HER SISTER TO GO HOME, At the corner of Ist street Mattie told her younger sister to go home and she would see her later, as she (Mattie) intended to take a walk. Ella insisted on going with her, but Mattie would not let her and told her she would have togo home, While they were talking, Ella says, a lady approached and engaged them in conversation. Then it was that Mattie left her and disappeared. The half-frightened child went straight home and told her parents of Mattio’s strange conduct, but her parents were not at all alarmed, as they were sure that Mat- tie would return later on. She did not, how- ever, put in appearance, REPORTED TO THE POLICE, Yesterday her father called at police head- quarters and stated the case to Detectives Mat- tingly and Wheeler. When Mattie left home she wore a white dress and a black hat trimmed with flowers. The missing girl was of a lively disposition and always wanted to be on the go, but her mother was rather strict with her and it is said did not allow her daughter to go with any young men, Some of the neighbors think that the girl eloped witha foune man with whom it is stated she carried on a flirtation. The girl's father is also inclined to that belief and go told the detectives this morning. cms eens A FRACTURED SKULL, John Myers Struck on the Head with a Billiard Cue by Henry McCarthy. Policeman Sutton last evening saw on Penn- sylvania avenue s young man named Jobn Myers, whose head was covered with cotton bandages, The officer asked him what was the matter with his head. ‘Nothing much,” was the reply. Myers evidently did not want to give the policeman any information, but the Officer learned that he had been struck on the head with a billiard cue in the room beneath the Globe Theater. Later in the evening Myers’ father called to see the officer and told him of his son's injury, adding that from what he could learn his son and another young man named Henry McCarthy were playing a game of pool or billiards atthe place mentioned; that a young man named Hopkins was also in the game, and that young Myers advised him how to make a difficult shot; that he took Myers’ advice and made the shot, and then McCarthy and Myera nad some words and the latter was assaulted, Officer Sutton went to the Emergency Hos- pital, where Myers’ wound had been dressed, and learned from Drs. Ellyson and Middleton that the patient's skull had been fractured. McCarthy, it appears, after inflicting the blow, took Myers to the hospital and when he heard the doctor say that his victim’s skull was fract- ured he walked out. The police know McCarthy and where he is employed, but he has not yet been arrested. Myers resides at 621 D street northwest, —— THE SOLDIERS GO AWAY. Regulars Leave for the Pennsylvania State Camp at Mount Gretna.

Five distinct bodies of regular troops go to Mount Gretna this week—two bat- teries, two troops of cavalry and one battalion of infantry. Capt. Turnbull’s light battery from the third artillery was the one selected to represent the regular army, as was also a com- pany of cavalry from Fort Myer. Yosterday afternoon a train of passenger and freight cars was made up on the tracks on Maryland aye- nue, and from that time until late in the eve ing all was bustle and activity in the neighbor hood while the men loaded the cars with horses and guns and the equipments of camp. It was oa! 10 o'clock when all the arrangements had bee made and the train finally pulled out, while the crowd that was left behind cheered and wished the soldier boys the jolliest kind of a time. AMUSEMENTS, Axpavon's.—Another of Gilbert and Sulli- van’s tuneful overs was the attraction at Al- baugh’s last night and again the Lamont Opera Company scored a success. ‘The opera was “Patience” and it was given with the true es- thetic spirit, the evening being just cool enough or warm enough to act the “‘languish- ing maiden” with great eclat. Miss Lamont, Miss Hanley, Miss Baker, Mr. De Lange, Mr. Broderick, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Clark, Mr. David aud Mr, C. E. Graham were in the cast, and not only they but their subordinates did them- selves full summer justice. Summer opera has proved to be not only fashionable but musically interesting and larger crowds in the winter sen- son have not been sven in Albaugh’s than have attended the house during this summer engage- ment, when it is supposed that nobody is in town. A big house was present last night and big audiences will rule the week unless the hot side of the weather gets turned on the town before another cold wave arrives. ae New Colored Republican Organization.

Wm. Murrell of New Jersey, who is em- ployed in the Interior Department, met with eserious accident on Wednesday last while on the basement floor of the Patent Office. In attempting to move a piece of lumber out of the gangway it fell and struck him on the left foot inflicting, as he supposes nothing but a mere aeeene Friday night the foot began, “4 swell and pain severely and he was compelled to take to his bed. The injury has caused the swelling of the entire leg and is now more serious than was anticipated. All day yester- day there was a stream of G.A.R. callers at his residence, 921 V street northwest, and many department employes. Col. Murrell is a well- known Grand Army man and a delegate at from the state of New Jersey to na- tional encampment G.A. R. at Large Dr. W. W. Godding of the government in- sane hospital was a witness in the Police Court today in the case of a colored boy named Mar- tin Foreman, who was arrested several weeks G0 for carrying arazor. At that time the boy was taken into court and charged with the offense. It was the opinion of the judge that the lad was not of sound mind, and for that reason the court had him examined and com- mitted to the insane hospital. When the case was heard at the time of the arrest the boy claimed that he was on Pennsyl- vania avenue at 1 o'clock in the morning on a “sport,” and he thought he had as much right there smoking a cigar as any other person. A JUMPING RAZOR. He told the judge that the “razor jumped right off the ground into his pocket,” and he repeated the story several times. He was shabbily attired when the court sent him to the hospital and today when he appeared he looked like an entirely different person, He wore a new suit of clothes, a new pair of shoes and a straw hat. Although his actions were still peculiar, Dr. Godding said that with parental attention the boy would get along all right, ANOTHER STORY ABOUT THE RAZOR, “What have you to say about the razor now?” inquired the court, “I got itfrom my aunt's,” was his response. “What did you intend to do with it?” “Oh, I just picked it up because it was there.” The boy's parents were present and Lawyer Ricks called his father to the front, He is a farmer from Sandy Springs, Md., and he told the court that hisson’s mind was affected by a fall down the steps, Judge Milier remembered something about a charge against the boy in Maryland and he questioned his father about that, SUSPECTED OF ARSON. The father said that his boy was arrested on suspicion of burning stacks of hay, but he was acquitted at Rockville because his mind was not right. “When did he leave home?” “He left in the night.” “Something was said about his having to leave,” said the judge. ‘How about that?” “He did have to leave,” replied the boy's father. ‘There were thirty men around the house that night.” “A necktie party,” suggested Mr, Dumont. “If this boy is a fircbug and razor carrier,” continued Mr. Dumont, ‘I think we had better get rid of him.” THE BOY DISCHARGED, The court said that if the boy was dangerous he did not like to turn him loose on any com- munity. The boy’s father was told by the court of the duty he owed his child, and the boy was thereupon discharged on the ground that he Was insane at the time he was arrested. ———— Notes from West Virginia, Correspondence of Tre EVENING STan.
