For two or three weeks a countryman wear- ing a pair of blue overalis, a striped shirt and ared handkerchief tied about his neck, has been living from hand to mouth about the wharves and several times he has been so in- toxicated that he could not take care of him- self. His name is Robert Withers and he is from Caroline county. Va. This morning when Withers appeared before Judge Mills asa va- grant he exhibited his hands to show that he Was a working man. Judge Mills told the Vir- ginian that he did not intend to fill the work house with non-residents and feed them all the winter, but if he continued his present course he would bave to go down. Withers expressed adesire to leave the city and the court ac- cepted bis personal bonds in order to give him @ chance te go back to old Virginia. saath ont an An Important Amendment.

The raids tmaade in that sectioa on the smali games only resulted in larger gains to those who conduct «ames of keno, roulette and hazard. One man who was injured in u fight yesterday was brought to this city and treated at the Emer- gency Hospital. —— Anacostia Notes.

All the base ball pride that was left by the ignominious failure of the late unlamented Senators is now being concentrated by s some- what languid public upon the performances of what is now Washington's crack ball team, the Columbia Athletic Club nine. This team isa strong one, as the game it wou from Manager Sullivan's scrubs just after the collapse evi- denced, and it has made an honorable record this year under the efficient management of Mr. Chap Simme, but there is some hard work yet ahead of it. It is amemberof the Amateur Athletic Union League, composed of abont fif- teen ball teams, representing various athletic clubs that are members of the union scattered over the country, and the contest for the cham- pionship is soon about to culminate, DIVIDED INTO SECTIONS, On account of the ‘arge number of clubs and the wide territory which they cover o schedule whereby each club could play a cer- tain number of games with the others is im- practicable and the teams are divided into three sections. One consists of the clubs around New York and in New England. the other of all the western clubs, and the third of the Columbia Club. Each of the first two sec- tions has a schedule, but the Columbias play no games until it is determined who wius the respective championships of the eastern and ern clubs. ‘Then the Columbia boys play the winner of the eastern championship und the winner of that contest competes with the western leader for the general championship of the league. It is now very certain that the eastern championship will be won by the New Jersey Athletic Club of Jersey City and that of the west by the Detroit Club, and arrange- ments are being made for the final gam GOING TO NEW JERSEY. The Columbia teamwill go on the 6th of September to Bergen Point, N.J., and the: and then play its firet game with the Jersey City team. On the 13th the second game will be played in thiscity. Itis not certain, at present, whether the game will be played on the grounds at Aualostan Island or at Capitol Park, this depending upon the sort of diamond used at Bergen Point. If that should be cov- ered with turf the island field will be used, while if it is “scalped”—as that on the island is—the game will be played at the park. THE COLUMBIA TEAM. The following is the team that is to compete in the Bergen Point game: Daly, c.; Keyworth, p.; Wells, 1b.; Green, 2b.; Sprigman, 3b.; Bol- way. 4.8; Walsh, Lf.; Burke, of, and Dickin- son, r.f., with Jones, Beall or King as substitute. The team is now playing in such good form that Manager Simms has strong hopes of its being chosen to meet the western nine. In case of a tie in the eastern series a third game will be played on some neutral grounds, ‘The Y. M. C. A. nine beat the RK. and D. R. R. ay by the score of 16 to 2 ‘The features were the heavy batting and errorless fielding of the ¥. M. C. A. boys and the excel- lent battery work of Catlin and Johnson. To- morrow the Y. M. C.

A party of young men went to an out-of-the- way place near the Eastern branch marshes Sunday morning to play base ball. They were composed of employes of the Columbia Rail- road Company. The police, however, objected to the game because the Commissioners re- cently issued an order against it. The young men were not within hearing distance of any dwelling, nor was there any profane or loud language used. The police patrol wagon drove out to scoop in the crowd, and the result was that only one of the party, Conduc- tor McMillan, was arrested. ‘he case was tried in the Police Court yesterday afternoon un- der the law prohibiting the playing of base ball in streets, avenues and alleys. Gen. Carrington argued that the law had not been violated, although he thought it would have been better had the boys been in church. The policeman thought that where the men were playing was on a line with 17th street, and the judge therefore held that they were playing in the streets, and imposed a fine of #5. ge Transfers of Real Estate.

William Thornton, colored, was leading the hod carriers’ march into anew building in course of erection on New Jersey avenue near E street this morning, when he met with a seri- ous accident that may yet prove fatal. Just as he entered the building with a hod of bricks on his shoulder one of the brick layers work- ing on the upper part of the wall accidentally knocked a brick down and it fell on Thornton's head, knocking him senseless. He remained im an unconscious: condition for neariy thirty minutes. The bpd ame patrol wagon then removed him to the Emergency Hospital. It is thought that his skull is shghtly fractured. gastos Hae Mother and Son Drunk and Disorderly. Jane O'Day and her son Larry were in the Police Court again this morning. ‘his time they were charged with being drunk and dis- orderly in northeast Washington. When they were before the court several days ago it was claimed that Larry got drunk on essence of peppermint, which he took for sickness. He is only about fifteen years old, Judge Mills fined thew $5 or 15 days each. They went down. A Soldiers’ National Museum. To the Editor of Tux Evexrxe Stan On the occasion of the U.V.U.’s excursion last week Col. 8. BR. Stratton made a speech in which he suggested the purchase, if purchas- able, of the surgeon general's office, on 10th street, this city, and its conversion into a “Soldiers’ National Museum,” in which relics, mementoes, literature and other i ccapuatnalie of war collections from both sides, together aintings of the leading actors ou each t.

Again tonight. Hanrais’.—The regular season was inaugu- rated auspiciously at this cozy theater last night. A large audience was present and made the opening one long to be remembered. The play was “The m Maker of Carlsbad,” # musical drama by Mr. James Reilly. The drama is one which will improve on acquaintance. Although the plot is conventional there are many delightful bits of music, sung in a pleas- ing ‘manner, with striking situations. Mr. Reilly in his dialect roles of Johann and Widow McFay shows wonderful versatility. Muster Robbie as Little Hans and Little Etta were as bright as they are pretty and were great favor- ites with the ladies, Miss Templeton as Gretchen is popular and has @ sweet, sympa- thetic voice. The rest of the company was good. Again tonight. Kenvax’s,—A large audience greeted Wash- ington’s favorites, Sheridan and Flynn, better known as the “men who wrote McGinty,” at Kernan’s last night. These gentlemen stand prominent as Irish commedians. This year they are at the head of a variety show of a good deal of merit, and last night was their initial appearance this season. Although there was the usual stiffness incident to a first night, the specialties were all good and well received. he Nolsons were clever in a new comedy sketch. Miss Minnie Lee has a sweet voice. The Glenroy Bros., gymnasts, gave a daring exhibition, and James F. Hoey carried the house with his sonny sevioas.

Saturday night the horse and wagon of Mr. John Dunn, the butcher, were stolen from the K street market, and the fact was reported at police headquarters and was telegraphed to Baltimore on Sunday, and yesterday Conrad King, alias John Williams, was arrested in that city for the theft. It appears that on Suuday King left the stolen team, which is valued at #175, with August Becker at Lansdowne, Balti- more county. Yesterday King was pointed out to officer Schmidt of Baltimore as the man who left the team at Becker's, and the alleged thief was arrested. When taken to the station he endeavored to tear up a note which proved to be a memorandum stating that John Williams had sold a horse and wagon to John Smith for $50. Marshal Frey of Baltimore notified Maj. Moore of the Washington police of the arrest and recovery of the property. and Detective Horne was sent over this morning to bring back the prisoner and the team. —— White Returns to Washington. B. Shepherd White, who is charged with em- bezzlement and forgery, returned to the city yesterday, having, it is understood, been on a visit for business and pleasure to Boston. His counsel say the statement that he intended to run away and jump his bail is entirely incor- rect, and that it was understood when he e bail that he was to remain till Wednesday last, or at least until the officials determined whether they would ask additional bail on other charges growing out of his employment with Mr. Corn- ing. Ithaving been decided that the $2,000 bail given was sufficient to hold him for the grand jury on all charges growing out of the Jorning matter he was at liberty to go whero he pleased, and he therefore went to Boston. — ALEXANDRIA, Reported for THE EVENING Stan. A Serious Cuanor.—Under the law of thi commonwealth if a chaste woman be betrayed she may cause a warrant to be issued for the arrest of her betrayer, who, on sufficient proof. taust marry the girl or go to the penitentiary. Under this law a warrant was issued yesterday afternoon by Mayor Downham, on the oath of Mary E. Gilmixon of this city, against Edwar d Finnigan, who has, it is understood, left the city and is in Washington. Hippex Arss.—During the early part of the late war, when examinations of houses wore made by the United States provost guards for arins, &c., alleged to have been concealed in the interest of the confederate states, many old rusty picces which had etood in corners since the war of 1812 and some kept since the revolution were hidden away behind casements, under floors, kc. A couple of floor boards would be taken up and a gun stored beneath, In some cases plastering was remo’ taken off and guns and pistols hung the joists und then the laths and plasterin: stored, Nome of these guns still remain hid- den in forgotten nooks, and yesterday in tak- ing up the kitchen floor at the house of Dr. Bram, ou Fairfax street, old muskets were re- found beneath, but the barrels had rusted out of the decayed stocks, The ‘coon killer.” a little cannon used to celebrate democratic victories, was buried in this way. Four ladies dug a pi: four feet deep ina garden on Prince street and shrouding the gun buried it, carriage and all. Upon the top of its hiding place creeping vines were deftly trained, and then quickly growing shrubs were plantéd there, and the little gan did not see daylight untii, “when the cruel war was over,” it was resurrected.

THROWN FROM HER HORSE, AGranddaughter of Vanderbilt Killed on Long Island. Mrs. John Wallace, wife of a well-known member of the New York stock exchange and a granddaughter of Commodore Vanderbilt, was killed by a fall from her horse at Islip, L. L, yesterday morning. The horse, a sorrel named Squire. although not as a rule vicious, was at times apt to be unruly, and Mra. Wallace had been warned not to ride him. He came into Mrs. Wallace’s possession about eighteen months ago, but was not broken for riding uat il last summer. Mrs, Wallace rode him once or twice toward the end of the season and he did not behave badly, On returning to town she rode him continually in Central Perk and he seemed a safe seat for a less sure rider than Mrs. Wallace, who prided herself, with reason, on her horsemanship. Mra, Wallace ordered Squire to be saddled for a rido directly after breakfast yesterday. Her only child, Allan, a lad of fourteen. set out with his mother mounted on a bay pony, The pony was frisky, and its sudden movements startled Squire so much that Mrs. Wallace, evidently alarmed, told her son to fall back. ‘The lad accordingly kept about fifty feet in the rear as Sqnire went with vicious plunges along Ocean avenue, on which the Van Anden cot- tage fronts, toward Main street. The horse got the mastery of his rider before he had gone a hundred yards, and for the next hundred yards it was evidently only a question of time when the rearing ‘and plunging animal would throw the rider, who was evidently at once losing her presence of her seat, When about one thousand feet from the Van Anden cottage tho horse bolted to the left so violently that Mrs. Wallace was almost tlung from the saddle. She not only re- tained her seat, however, but partly righting hersel‘ tried to pull the horse in. All her ef- forts accomplished was to cause the horse to bolt to the opposite side of the street, bring- ing the head of the unfortunate rider with tre- mendous force against the limb of a tree in front of Mr. Hoppe’s cottage. Although Mrs, Wallace had stooped to avoid the branch she encountered it with such force as not only to throw her from the saddie, but also to fracture herskull. She fell to the sidewalk with blood gushing from her nose and ears. Mra, Wallace died about 10:50 o'clock. A telegram saying she had met with an accident was at once sent to her husband, who was visiting his dying ae at her country place not tar from New York. Ses ees THOUSANDS OF WHEELMEN. Cyclists From All Quarters Gather at the L. A. W. Meet. A Niagara Falls dispatch to the New York Herald today says: The first day of the wheel- men’s méet has been most satisfactory. The principal arrivals were the Cincinnati delegations and the Pennsylvania divisions. There are 3,000 wheelmen in the town and tho roads and bypaths around the falls are scoured with cycliste, A noticeable feature of the meet is the large number of lady riders present, One of the incidents of the day was the arrival of a party of seventy-five cyclists from Detroit, The party, among whom were three ladies, made the three hundred miles from Detroit in ten days. Besides the informal runs a feature of the day's prograi was the constitutional couven- tion, both in the morning and aftetnoon, The business accomplished at this méeting was of great importance, There were about a hun- dred cyclists present. but they represented over 2,300 votes. ‘Th order at 11 o'clock a.m. by President Dunn.

D.C.) TUESDAY; AUGUST 26, 1890 THE FAMILY PICNIC, A Day’s Junketing in the fouatry—How to Enjay It. From the Philadelphia Ledger. The fow August days remaining, hot in the sun but pleasant in the shade, with all Septem- ber coming, for cooler ones, can be agreeably Utilized for the family picnic. Opinion is di- vided as to what to take on these expeditions, but it does not seem wise to exhaust the strength of a party by carrying many wraps or heavy articles of provision. If little ones ac- company the picnic of course some light cov- ering or extra wrap should be brought for their use, and it is well to remember the possession of rubber overshoes makes a difference in the children’s pleasure by permitting them to seek after water lilies and the other wild flowers that grow in wet places and in allowing the little folk to journey unscathed over muddy places in the road or on the margin of river or sea beach. Children show # duck-like instinct in taking tothe water, and nursery annals estab- lish, beyond the shadow of doubt, that there is no juvenile pleasure equal to the forbidden sport of Pi ‘ing in the water. It is better for the mother or nurse to carry these overshves until they are actually needed, for their continuous Wear is apt to “draw” the feet and weary the little travelers. On a picnic to the shore a few weeks ago eight overshoes of assorted sizes were “nested” like Chinese puzzle boxes and carried without any difficulty. Care should be taken not to suffer the children to undertake too extended a walk. If interested in wayside objects they will not feel the fatigue imme- diately. and the first token may be a col- lapse, when far from home, with a feeling that they cannot take another step, Ii would be a shame to urge unnecessarily such willing little legs, but if it happens that the extra distance must be traversed, and added exertion is unavoidable, a short rest under a tree, a lift over some brambled tretch (that might assail the short-stock- inged travelers) are helps to recovery of strength. Mental refreshment can be offered by suggestions for keeping a bright lookout for some wandering turtle—also far from home—or for a squirrel, a bird, or some familiar landmark. The keeping in view of some such purpose helps to distract the tired children from their disconraged feelings. EAT ABLES AND DRINKABLES. Hard boiled eggs used to be considered a staple article for picnics, but they are not in such favor as formerly. To begin with, they are not easily digested by every one, and some- times produce a headache, Stuffed eggs are more palatable and not such a thirst-provoking dish, The hard boiled eggs are halved, the yolks removed and chopped with butter and ‘a dash of pepper, and this softened mixture returned to its natural case. So many good directions have been given lately for sandwiches, to make a nice luncheon, that it is unnecessary to repent the list. Grapes are grateful to the palate, for they assuage thirst and obviate the necessity of carrying much liquid when drinking water is not avail- able on the spot. The ordinary glass jars that come for canning fruit make excellent water carriers, not being heavier than a quart bottle, DON’T. Do not take crackers on a picnic; they are conveniently handled, but are very apt to pro- voke thirst and fill up the stomach in an un- Satisfactory way. It is scarcely necessary to add a caution against indulging in peanuts or candies on a picnic. Sponge cake and mint drops are recommended, if the picnickers crave something sweet, ‘The boxes of “square” Chylong ginger or the long, crystallized “thumbs” are dainties particularly acceptable in hot weather and not likely to upset the di- gestion. If the party is large, it can arrange for the transportation of a block of ice, wrapped firet in newspaper and with an outer covering of flannel. To KEEP THE ANTS OFF. It occasionally happens that the pleasure of country rambles is interfered with by the in- quisitive excursions of little ants, the Fro- bishers and Drakes of the insect world, bent on discovery of the unknown. These exhibitions of excersive curiosity can be checked by a ple remedy. A young lady who spends her ummer in systematic outing, with sketch book or microscope, intorms the Household of a “specific;” after other methods failed she found entire satisfaction in tracing a circle with cayenne pepper around her easel and camp stool, which proved an insuperable bar to “alarum’ and excursions” on the part of the ants; e:ther superstition or a sensitive respira- tion’ prevents. them intruding across the charmed ecabalistic sign, JAPANESE GARDEN SRATS weigh but little; they are an easily carried pre- caution against exposure to damp in sitting down on the grass or in suspected bat attractive woodland haunts. A POSSIBLE ENCOUNTER. It sometimes happens in the woods one comes upon a snake sunning itself in some open spot. Although the reptile may be disinclined to move. his presence generally occasions disquiet- ude if not alarm. Agassiz is quoted as saying that the education of a naturalist now consists | chiefly in learning how to compare. and for the | bene! t of those not acquainted with acteristic habits of animals the Hor an ob: zoolog: “Asa rule the venomous snakes, as vipers and rattlesnakes, are distinguished by a trian- gular head covered with small scales, a con- striction behind the head, two or more fangs and few teeth. small eyes with vertical pupil and short, thick t in the harmless snake the head gradually blends with the neck and is covered with plates; the teeth are compara- tively numerous in both jaws, the pupil is round and the tail tapering.” The professor concludes by observing that this rule has many exceptions, Of course no picnic party will wait to verify teeth fangs, eye pupils, &c., but it is proper to instruct children that, unless a snake is disturbed—accidentally trodden on or deiib- erately provoked-—it will do no harm to the cautious passer-by. the char- hold notes rvation of a writer on comparative soe Not Eligible. From the Pittsburg Despatch. “Fellow citizens,” exclaimed the quiet-look- ing man in the drab suit, as he mounted a table at the ward caucus after securing recognition from the chair, “‘in rising to put in nomination for the responsible oftice to which the nominee of this convention will undoubtedly be elected by a large majority, I name a man who has not been mentioned this evening. I shall say noth- ing against the gentlemen already placed in nomination, So far as I know they are all good men. But, Mr. Chairman and fellow citizens, in my jadgment the time has come when this ward should be represented in the city council by one of its best citizens—one whose char- acter is above reproach, who understands our wants and who has the ability and the energy to discharge properly the duties of his office. I, therefore, nominate for alderman of this ward Israel O'Malley.” “Where is his saloon?” voices. “Gentlemen,” answered the speaker, “Mr. O'Malley is not in the saloon business at all, On the contrary, he is a strictly temperate man, moral,’ upright, high-minded citizen who—” yelled @ hundred e ivin’ us!” “Put him out!” and “Punch his ead!” the man in the drab suit was firdd out into the ulley through a rear window and the outraged and insulted patriots of the ward set- tled down to business again, pbc mec SA Besides the Soda Water Winks.
