A NEEDLE IN HER SIDE. The Mysterious Hiness of a Child Ex- piained and Kemedied. The peculiar surgical operation performed on Fergus McCarthy im the Presbyterian Hos- pital in Philadelphia two days ago—the re- moval of a needle from the patient's side, as published in yesterday's Sran—recallsa similar case in this city about three years ago. The youngest daughter of Police Licut. Kelly, then about eighteen months old, had been a healthy child, but was suddeniy taken sick and for many months was ill, wasting toa mere skele- ton. The child ate but little and its parents feared the worst. Finally, one day the i:ttle one’s mother saw the child put its band to its side as if feeling there. The mother @ade an exammation and found a dark spot where the child had placed its hand. The skin had not been broken, but as the little girl showed evidence of continued pain Dr. Meriam Was sent for and he took from the cuild’s side a rusty ne The biunt end of the needle was next to the skin. It was supposed that the in- fant swallowed the needle.

The five hundred people who went out to Capitol Park yesterday saw more than twenty- five cents’ worth of base ball; they had at least haif a dollar's worth in a game that was begun, and, after progressing for three innings, ended in a row that finally culminated in a forfeit to the Baltimore Club, after # long wait, in which it seemed as if there was going to be no game atall, and then sixanda half innings of as fine an exhibition, im which the home team was victorious, as any one wished. Manager Ted Sullivan had an excellent opportunity in the squabble that terminated in the forfeit of the first game to show how completely he could lose his wits as a base ball manager and he accepted it, while Umpire Hunt, who makes up for all his deficiencies as a judge of the game by a business-like way of calling time on bnuilying captains made a reputation for himself as a young man of plenty of backbone and nerve, and although at one time he was pretty closely surrounded by the people—it would be sarcastic to call the gathering a crowd—there were enough good nature and policemen around to prevent trouble. Washington thus lost a game through sheer foolishness. Manager Sullivan's proper course would have been to enter a protest and then agree to go on with the play, which he bas a perfect right to do. It was simply throw- ing a game away. THE FIRST GAME. Tho batteries were Baker and Townsend and Phillips and Bird. Buker was by no means as effective as on Saturday and it was evident in the first inning that Washington would not be shut out with but one hit. A base on balls by Donohue and a clean hit by Whistler past second, aided by « fumble by Werrick and a poor throw to first, produced two runs for the Senators in the first inning. Baltimore made one in the last half on a base on balls, a clean steal of second while Phillips stil! held the ball and two sacrifice hits. The second was unpro- ductive. In the third Donobue went to first on balls again, and then the trouble came. Spectators at the games of the Washington Club this year have often noticed a certain trick of Gleason’s of jumping around in his box when at the bat, with a man on first, in order to balk the catcher and confuse the pitcher, as well as the umpire, and almost everybody has looked to see some umpire call him down. It seems that the Orioles have been ‘laying for” Brother Bill for some time, and on ‘the way over here they hunted up arule that would cover his case. Yesterday Powers made akick when Gieason went to bat in the first inning, but it did not go; but in the third inning hi trick was entirely too palpable for Hunt to pass it by and he calied himout. Gleason kicked in his most artistic style. But Hunt was not to be bluffed down, and after the regulation period of Festiculation and jaw play the captains were ordered back into their places and out came a watch, whereat the audience applauded. Ted Sullivan seemed to lose his head. At first he ordered Whistler to go to the bat, but Gleason seemed so stubborn that he weakened and told the captain to stick it out in the face of the silent little man standing on the plate with his watch in hishand. The minute was a long one, but it was too short for Sullivan. Gleason & Company, for all of a sudden Hunt waved his hand in the air and told Powers that the game was his. Then followed a scene that Washington seldom witnesses. The spectators swarmed down into the field and around Hunt, who w: instantly hidden from sight. No violence was done or even intended, the presence of half a dozen policemen cooling off the folks. Some one began to shout for a return of the gate money. and the two managers went off for a consultation, A POSTPONED GAME, Barnie would listen to no other proposition than playing off Monday's postponed game, as the other game had been forfeited and was out of his hands, But Ted had his back up and would not agree until, some time later, some of the ex-ofticials and friends of the as- signee saw him and gave him a few words of wholesome advice. Then, after nearly half an hour's delay, the field was cleared and “‘yes- terdsy’s game” was played. The same balls and batteries were used, and it was a pretty contest from the start. Washington won by the score of 4 to 1, six innings being counted. For four innings no one scored and the excite- ment was high. A neat double play in the sixth extinguished Washington's chinces of scoring, and Mack, who went to first on a missed third strike and stole second, was left there. Each side went out in order in the second. Phillips was left on second in the third, apd for Baltimore, atter two were out, Long hit a scratch in front of the plate, stole second and went to third on a high throw by Bird, but was left, as Mack flied out to Donobue. In the fourth Gleason made a drive through Ray for a base, was forced to second by Whistler's being hit by a ball and to third ona passed ball. No one was out and it looked like arun or two, but Baker pulled himself together and struck out Baird, made Hill fly to Sommer in short left and struck out Bader. Bultimore also got two men on bases and failed to score. With one out, Townsend hit out a single pust Hill, Wer- rick flied to Donohue and Powers lined one over Phillips’ head, but Sommer gave Wentz a [ hrtanrd and died on first, In the fifth, after ordan had bunted unsuccessfully, Wentz and Phillips each hit for a base, but the next two men went outon flies to fielders. Baltimore scored her only run in this inning. Two men were out when Long was hit by a ball and Mack gave Hillacbance to make anerror on his bounder. A clean single to right center scored Long and put Mack on third, but Townsend put up a fly for Dono hue. Washington immediately proceeded to repair the damage doae by hitting Baker in a savage manner. Whistler opened with a beautitul two-bagger in the direction of the club house that would have been good for three or perhaps four bases had not Sommer made a wonderful one-hand stop. Riddle, who had taken the place of Bird, who hurt his hand in ihe inning before, tried to sacrifice by hit- ting to Werrick, but the latter thought to get Whistler ont and hesitated just long enongh to Jet both get safe without throwing the ball. A sacrifice by Hill scored Whistler and an error by Werrigk and a hit by Jordan let Liddle score, while Bader crossed the plate when the entire Baltimore team went to pieces trying to put out two men, of which they got but one. Wentz, who hit to Ray. Pow- ers thought that Jordan was out at sec- ond, but the umpire differed. Then Phillips bit outa bail for a base and Jordan scored. Donohue kept up the fun by hitting along the left foul line for a base and Phillips went to third, but as it was growing dark he was given the tip, and when Donohue tried to steal Phil- lips made @ purposely weak run home and was putout, Baitimore went out inorder, Whistler making a beautiful one-hand catch of Gleason's bad throw. Washington went to keep up the run getting in the seventh, but after the Sena- tors lad scored a run on a man’s being hit, two bases on balls, anda hit by Bader, the umpire c in to Powers’ request to call the game. Washington made 9 hits and 3 efrors and Bal- timore 4 hits and 3 errors, WORCESTER DISBANDS. There were no other championship games in the association, but Worcester added its mite to the news of the day and helped Washington up a peg by disbanding. The club has been in bad financial condition fora long time and sev- eral schemes have been devised to pay expenses and land even, but all have failed. The last effort in this direction was a band concert and a display of fireworks night before last, which netted 3362. ‘the salary list was then 8660 back pay from the Ist of July. This was of- fered the men, who refused to take it, ab the remainder of the salaries were to come from the gate receipts, and they feared that the association, which Is a creditor of Worcester to the extent of £300, would attach these funds. ‘They met yes. terday afternoon just before the hour of leav- ing for Baltimore and, after talking the matter over with Cudworth, they concluded not to ace cept the offer of the directors, who thereupon disbanded the team | The players then made the proposition they be paid up to July 15, throwing off the selarios for the Intter helt the month, but the directors would not con- sent, The men are talking of taking the mat- ter to the courts.

Umpire Hunt was not wrong in his decision yesterday in calling Gleason out, as many think. le had rule 43, section 5, behind him. This rule says that ‘‘the batsman is out if he at- tempts to hinder the catcher from fielding the ball, evidently without effort to make a fair hit.” Gleason made no attempt to hit the ball. He threw his shoulder clear out of his box ina palp&ble effort to be hit by the pitcher and also to try to block the catcher. His trick was, as it always has been, only too apparent, and whether it was exactly covered by the rule quoted cr not, there was no excuse for his get- ting sulky nor for Ted Sullivan's lettin game go by default on his own grounds, ‘there are plenty of records of visiting clubs with- drawing and refusing to play, but a home team—never.

A movement fora popular subscription to erect a monument to Gen. Grant has been started by Mr. Lucius Briggs, who describes himself as “a quiet business man in a small village in eastern Connecticut.” Mr. Briggs suggests that an organization be effected in every school district in the states that did not secede in 1861, in those since admitted and in the territories, and that the individual contri- butions received shall not exceed half a dime. He estimates that the population in the terri- tory referred to is not less than 45,000,000, and the rate named the collection would yield 22,250,000. A part of this plan is to deposit the money as received with the Treasurer of the United States and a committee to select the design is to be appointed by the President, Mr. Briggs expresses the opinion that this city would be the appropriate place to locate the monument, ——s—___ THE TWO MESDAMES ROCHON.

A VOTE ON THE ATKINSON BILL. The “Star” Gives Opportunity for a True Expression of Public Opinion. Tae Stax calls the attention of its readers, men and women, to the coupon petition printed below. It asks each of them to read the peti- tion carefully, and, if the requests which it contains mect his or her approval, to sign it, cut it out, and send it by mail to or hand it in at Tae Stan office. The petition is put in such shape that every citizen anxious to protect life and to improve the conditions of railroad occupation can sign it, whether he favors the removal of the station from the mall or not, and whether he is from south, east or northwest Washington. The people of South Washington will natur- ally seize with eagerness the opportunity to Protest against the surface tracks which un- necessarily obstruct, injure, threaten and kill them, and against a measure which perpetu- ates the evil conditions that now exist and which is sustained only by the foulest slander of their section. The people of East Washington, suffering like those of South Washington from an Unnecessary multiplication of surface tracks and grade crossings and illegal encroach- ments on the part of the railroad which trav- erses their section, will roasonably join with heart, soul, mind and strength in the move- ment against grade crossings and the Atkin- son bill. For the evils which South Washing- ton endures are their evils also, and this fizht is their fight. Nor will Northwest Washington, though not 8 direct sufferer, be indifferent, The obstruc- @ danger-belt of surface tracks between the river front and the main city endangers the lives of thousands from the northwest as they pass to and from the river on business or pleas- ure. The modern city is @ unit, and what injures one section should be felt by all. The public spirit which builds up great cities is based upon this sentiment of common interest. Manslaughter by railroad in two sections of the cupital is a concern of the whole city, like the question of a new bridge in the southeast and a Columbus Park in the northwest. The main evil to be remedied in this case is also of general instead of merely local concern because it threatens human life. When murder is to be checked it is not necessary that appeals for aid shall be addressed to a next-door neighbor. It is sufficient if the cry for assistance comes to the ears of a fellow man. The time is now favorable for securing from the railroad what the people seck. It is asking that its illegal acts be legalized and that valu- able privileges be granted to it. The attention of Congress has been called to its affairs, and that body shows a disposition to deal fairly with the people. If this opportunity be wasted the chances are that no other so favorable will ever arise, It will be criminal negligence to fail to act promptly, and will throw upon all to whom the neglected opportunity is attributable a share in the responsibility for future blood- shed at grade crossings. In families where more than one adult sig- nature is to be attached the coupon can be cut out and pasted as a Leading on a sheet of paper, upon which additional signatures may be placed. The same course may be pursued in churches or other organizations, and ip cases where volunteer canvassers may desiro to col- lect signatures, The labors of the latter will be gladly welcomed. They will not be com- pensated, however, by the payment of so much foreach name secured; but will work from the promptings of public spirit or for humanity's sake, A Petition.

On the last occasion, she says, he re- turned home (No. 1113 F street) drunk and went to bed, but getting up he dressed him- self and threatened to fix her, and said if he could not get rid of her one way he would another, if he had to brain her or send her to an insane asylum; and if he had not made it unpleasant enough for her he would commence to whip her; that he then went out and returned and attempted to engage in a quarrel with her, and then charged that she was stealiing something, and getting a hatchet threatened to break open the trunk, when she gave him the key, but he caught her by the throat with both hands and choked her, She calling for he!p he was pre- vented from carrying his threat into execution, and a policeman arrested him and he was put under bonds, She further charges that for three years he has been endeavoring to have Sod pee in an insane asylum; that he in- vited a Dr. Graham to her house with that end in view, and after Dr. Graham had listened to the language of the defendant he pronounced Ber sound and healthy, with the exception of considerable nervousness pro- duced by defendant's language and conduct, which *‘was enough to drive any woman crazy,” and, advising petitioner not to live with de- fendant, told him (defendant) that he (Gra- ham) could not be used if he wanted to get rid of his wife on the ground of insanity. She further charges that all of such treatment has endangered her life. GEORG ee ‘TOWN.
