Yesterday afternoon as the 2:48 train from the west, over the Chesapeake and Ohio road, backed slowly into the Pennsylvania depot s handsome youth, dressed in # gray suit of clothes, stepped lightly to the platform. He was accompanied by two men. The trio proved to be White and Chief of Police Jeffers of Frankfort and Chief of Police Lusby of Lexing- ton. The officers were on their way to turn him (White) over to the Washington authori- ties for an alleged forgery and embezzlement. Taking a short cut the trio eluded a large crowd that was waiting and, jumping in a hack, soon arrived at police headquarters. Here White was delivered to Maj. Moore, who turned him Inspector Swindells of the detective ‘ps. White was subsequently measured and later photographed for the rogues’ gallery. AN EFFORT TO APPEAR UNCONCERNED.

There he sat for a long time in close conversation with his counsel. THE PRISONER ARRAIGNED, The court room was crowded by 11 o'clock, and when Clerk Clagett called the name of B. Shepherd White there was not another sound to be heard. In company with his counsel White walked to the desk in front of the judge and stood while the two lengthy charges were read to him. Not a quiver passed over his face, and one would have said that he was the least interested man in the room. Only two of the charges were read, although the prosecuting attorney, Mr. Armes, said there were several others beside. White was charged with embezzling and converting to his own use a check for #200 drawn on Riggs’ bank with the intent to cheat and defraud ‘fehn H. Corn- ing, his employer, and the rightful owner of the check. He was also charged with forging the names of J. H. Corning and C. B.

Perey Meyers were called as witnesses, but White's counsel waived an examination and asked that reasonable bonds be named. FIXING BATL. Mr. Armes asked that White be put under bonds of $1,000in each case. Judge Pelham claimed that this was excessive, as it would be vory difficult to raise half that sum, but Judge Miller ruled differently, and White was bound over to the grand jury in the sum named. Judge Pelham told Mr. Armes that White's friends intended raising a sum suffi¢ient to pay the bonds andalso to make good all the losses by his wrongdoing. When this is done it is probable that White will leave town and the case will never be called for trial. TAKEN TO THE DISTRICT JAIL. A littlé after noon a carriage drove up and White got in and was driven to the District jail, where he will spend tonight. All proper ar- rangements have been made for his comfort while he is in confinemeut, though it is not thought that he will remain long behind the bars.

How the Washington’s Won From Hart- ford Yesterday. Pitcher Daniels was too much of a puzzle for the Hartford team yesterday and he enabled his own team, through his magnificent handling of the ball, to win easily from the tail-enders by the score of 7to1. Washington took kindly to the sort of ball that Mr. Kidd pitched, hitting him for a total of 15 bases with excellent effect. The field work of both sides was good. Bird and Stallings were the catchers. The Senators won the game in the first inning by scoring twice. With Bader out, Gleason hit for a base and took second on an érror by Walsh, third on Whistler's hit and scored along with the first an one hit to center by Jordan. The lead was increased in the second by one run, scored by Hill, who went to first on bails, stole second and third and crossed the plate when Stallings made a wild throw. For two inni no more i. epee but in hadi visitors clinched thin; making Gleason and W: istlet wont to first on balls, but Bird, hitting to the edge of the diamond, forced Whistler at second. Jor @ scratch hit on which Gleason in a ht = pinch, scored tig] Then the bases were filled by Hill going to first on a short hit, and after Wentz had struck out Riddle went to first on balls, forcing Bird in, Jordan was forced out at the plate by Daniels’ little hit. Hartford scored the only run in the sixth, Gleason’s wild throw let Annis around to third, and a hit by Sutton brought him home. In the last half of the inning, with two out, Whistler found the ball for a home run hit over the fence. In the eighth Bader hit for a base, stole second and scored on Gleason's single. Washington made 11 hits and Hartford 2, and each side secured 3 errors. OTHER GAMES, Worcester kept up with the procession by winning from Newark, 11 to 3 The game stood 4 to 3 until the ninth, when Worcester earned seven runs on six singles and a double. Stafford and Terrien and Sullivan and Cuff were the batteries, Stafford struck out eleven men and Sullivan six, Worcester made 17 hits and 2 errors and Newark 4 hits and 3 errors, Baltimore won from New Haven, 7 to 2, by a streak of batting in the third inning resulting in4runs, German and Townsend and Homer and Hofford were the batteries, Baltimore made 2 errors and New Haven 4 and each side secured 8 hits, There were 3,000 people at the ame. Jersey City succumbed to Wilmington, 4 to 3. Anderson and Corcoran and McDermott and Dowd were in the points. Wilmington made 11 hits and 2 errors and Jersey City 5 hits and 2 errors, The other championship gam sulted thus: National League. —At New York—New York, 7; Cincinnati, 3.

Gleason made three of the hits and two of the errors yesterday. Wentz made a two bagger, Whistler a single and a homer, Hill a couple of singles and an error, and Bader, Jordan and Riddle a hit apiece, Manager Ted seems to have realized at last that Bird is far more effective as a catcher than as a fieider. There were two umpires at Hartford yester- day but none at New Haven, this resulting in a row at the latter place and the substitution of two players, So much for Braden’s telegraph schedule, There couldn't possibly be a prettier race than that which 1s now in progress between Newark, Worcester and Washington for third place. Newark still holds the rank by a narrow margin with the other aspirants close at hand. The Philadelphia Press states this morning that something sensational is about to happen in the base ball line, and hints at the desertion of Cincinnati from the league. A meeting of the brotherhood is to be held in Philadelphia tomorrow when, it is alleged, some very im- portant mo will be made, All sorts of rumors are rife.

Sweeney for Having Two Wives at the Same Time. June 14 @ decree of divorce was passed in the case of May R. Sweeney against Thomas J. Sweeney. The bill was filed in January last by Mr. Aibert Sellers and set forth the mar- riage by Rev. Father Glaab May 30, 1888, the complainant's maiden name being Anderson. She charged Sweeney with neglect, cruel treat- ment, adultery with one widow Oliver, &. While the case was pending before the Equity Court, May 26 last, before the decree was made, ® marriage license was procured by Sweeney to marry his alleged paramour—Mrs. Oliver— under the name of Annie E. Ferguson, and they were married by Rev. 8. R. White at the E-street Baptist Church. This coming to the knowledge of the deserted wife and her counsel, @. warrant was issued chargin Sweeney with bigamy. The paper was place in the hands of Detective Raff. There was some difficulty in locating Sweeney. Yesterday Sergeant Brosnan of the sixth precinct ar- rested him. Sweeney is only twenty-three years old, and was raised in the vicinity of the Government Printing Office. Shortly after the warrant was issued he left the city,but returned on Sunday. He acknowledged to one of the officers that he married the widow, but says he was drunk at the time and that the prosecution is now for.spite because he failed to pay ali- mony to the complainant in the divorce case. The case was called in the Police Court this morning and Maj. J. McD. Carrington appeared for the prisoner. The government asked a postponement till Saturday and the trial was set for that day. _——____ COACHING COLUMBIA CREWS, Trainer Courtney ‘Has His Eye on the Rowers, but They Do Not See Him. “It is a bard thing to teach an old dog new tricks,” remarked one of Columbia's most suc- cessful oarsmen as he stepped out of a racing craft yesterday. He had just returned from a spin up the river passing in review beforeTrainer Courtney, who stations bimself in a row boat above the new bridge and from his position ob- serves the various crews as they pass, The oarsmen do not know at just what point Court- ney is, they dare not look around, and it is not for the coxswain to warn the rowers, for if he did the chances are they would, from the extra efforts to row in perfect form, become rattled and go to pieces. Should any particular man in a boat meet with favor in Courtney's eyes the trainer questions Jack Bremmer, who is usually with him, as tothe favored oarsman’s name, how long be has been rowing, &c.

A Young Colored Man Who Was Mas- Querading on the Streets. “Wm. Barbour a'ias Miss Hetty Green, are you guilty or not guilty?” was asked of rather an anomalous person who stood in the dock at the Police Cour: this morning charged with being a vagrant and a suspicious person. The Prisoner, who was arrested at the corner of 10th and B streets, plead guilty. He was a young colored man by no means unprepossessing in sppearance, but his costume was too much for the court and audience tosee without laughing. Barbour was attired in a pale green figured gown of summer silk with a loose, fall waist and long ,flowing skirt. The dress, which was cut decidedly —decollete, exposed a broad expanse of brown neck and chest and the natty sailor hat, trimmed with the same material as the gown, completed a costume that was decidedly more suitable for a young colored woman than a man. In a softly modulated voice Barbour said that he was from New York, but declined to give any explanation of his queer perform- ance, ‘How long have you been here?” asked Judge Miller. ‘Four months.” “Well,” said the judge, ‘‘you will have to stay three months longer, whether you want to or not, and every time you are caught on the streets of Washing- ton I will send you down if it is twenty years from now.” tll a He Cannot Control Himself. James Thornton, a respectable looking gray- haired old soldier, was in the Police Court this morning charged with being a vagrant and a beggar. He plead guilty and asked the mercy of the court. He stated that he always tried to do well, but that he could not control himself and he only regretted that he was involving his wife in his own degradation. He wanted to arrange itso that his family might have his pension and he would go away. Judge Miller told him he would have to go down, but as soon ashe had provided for his family he would be released. sre Se A Slander on South Washington. To the Editor of Tax EVENING STAR: Ihave resided in South Washington within two squares of the railroad for the past five year and I am astonished thatany man holding the position of a United States Congressman should make such a statement as that reported on page 5 of Tue Star of July 14, as follows: “Every foot of South Washington,” continued Mr. Mudd, “where their lines (the Baltimore and Potomac railroad) were proposed to run were abodes of filti and crime and it would be the best th ng for Washington could that sec- tion be entirely girdled with railroad tracks.” Believing the above statement to be absolutely false, I went immediately to the police station for this section of the city and obtained the following facts from the officer in charge, who has lived in South Washington for forty years: The region in question is that bordering on Virginia and Maryland avenues from 6th to 14th streets. There is not one disreputable house nor disorderly resident in this whole section, Between 7th and 14th streets and between Maryland avenue and the mall—about sixteen squares—there are only two colored families, and they live in an alley. Many of the residents south of the railroad belong to the laboring class, and this is an exceptionally orderly region. ‘The police records show less crime for the residents of South Washington than for the same number in any other section of the city. It 18 a disgrace to the American people that a member of Congress should utter such barefaced calumny against the cap- ital city, The only habitable border of the most beau- tifal park in the city is B street south. It is high and ary, level with Lafayette Square. ‘The residences are fine and have penetrated as far back from the park as the railroad nuisance would permit, If the railroad were buried below ground, as it can be from 6th to 13th streets, this whole hill would be covered with fine residences, for ‘there is_no healthier por- tion of the city,” so said Prof. Henry after ex- amining statistics. The rise in grade from 14th to 12th street is now 25 feet, or about 200 feet to the mile, and that, while a long freight train is hanging around the sharp curve at the end of the present bridge, is why the nights are made hideous by’ freight engines straining ‘until their safety. valves. fly open with wild shri the exhaust steam puffs and roars in the smokestack and the drive wheels grind fire from the rails like pyrotechnic pinwheels. Then when a train loaded with switte or caitle or fertilizer gets stalled “the rich perfumes refresh the fruitful fields.” ‘Ihe whole through traffic, both freight aud passenger, is done on one line of track, and there are five other tracks on Virginia ave- nue from 9th to 18th stzcets to stand freight carson. All this should be relegated to low lands between Virginia avenue, Eastern Branch and 3d street. Then all the necessary smoke and noise would be brought together, the shops would be near the homes of the employes and heavy manufactures could be received and shipped directly upon boat or cars from their door. ‘The present depot is below flood line and un- reliable for a capital in an emergency. A tun- nel carrying the track on a level from 6th to 13th street out of sight, freight yards at cach end, and a depot at the south side of the square joining Virginia and Maryland avenues leading tunnel in the manner usual to large would solve the problem rationally. If the tracks are legalized as they now stand this generation will not see them buried where they should be. W. X 8.

In order to correct this impression we wish to stute— First, that this decision was against Funk & Wagnall or Allen edition, and in no way in- Volves the edition we are selling; and Second, that the suit against Allen was based e of the article “United States” in vol- don the eight maps accompanying Now, as youalready know, our edi- tion has not the United States maps of the En- klish edition, which are old and out of date, but all our maps relating to the United States are new and up to date. We have also to an- ounce that our edition will contain a NEW and LATER article on the United States by Ameri- can writers of the highest reputation and WHICH WILL GIVE THE RESULT OF THE CENSUS NOW BEING TAKEN. It will be seen that the introduction of these new Maps and of the new and later information with regard to the United States not only maker our edition vastly more valuable but prevents any possible ground for claim of i mfringement. We assure you that you need pay no attention toauy rumors or reports that may be putin circulation regarding our edition, and that no stoppage or delay will occur in the preparation of the work. We have received another allowanceof fifty sets from the publishers. If you wish to sub- scribe your chauce is now, First volume 60c,; remaining volumes $1.50 each; half Kussia, BAUM'S BOOK DEPARTMENT, SEVENTH STREET. sylé W. B.
