The investigation of the collision between the steamers Washington and Pentz was con- tinued today at the office of the steam veasel inspector general's office. The evidence offered this morning followed about the same line as at the former sitting. Inspectors Seville and Cooper conducted the investigation.

They have evidently forgotten how to bat a little bit, and no matter who may be pitching for the other side they go down before him like sheep before the hands of the butcher. ‘The score was 9 to 3 yesterday. Washington began bravely enough, but stopped doing well very early in the gume,and after the fifth inning the coutest was a mere procession. Boston earned six of its nine runs and Washington two of its three. The batteries were Freeman and Mc- Guire and O'brien and Murphy. Washington made two in the first ona single by Dowd. a double by Hines and McGuire's single.

Hutchison was in great form, holding the batsmen from the forest city down to three singles. Boston turned the tables at Eastern Park, Brooklyn, yesterday and shut out the Bride grooms in a game characterized by sharp 5 on the part of both teams and heavy hit- yy the Beanexters.

There may possi- bly be some witnesses outside of the city whom it will be necessary to examine through in- spectors in other cities. At any rate the inves- tigation will be closed up shortly and a report made. It is not thought by those who lave watched the investigation that any lnrge amount of culpability will be found resting on the shoulders of either of the captains. Both captains evidently thought the actions they took were the best under the circumstances. ENGINEER MOORE OF THE PENTZ. The first witness today was W. H. Moore, the | engineer of the Pentz, who testified substan- the other officers on the Pentz. The , he said, stépped after backing out from harf and allowed the Washington to goon | down abead. The Pentz then followed, and the Washington slowing up the former vessel came p alongside near the forks of the channel. | The witness described the signals which passed tween the two boats as hitherto bro ue close shave which the Pentz had in | ing under the stem of the anchored schooner | was also deseribed. At the trap nets the Wash- j ington blew three siort whistles and witness | | saw inat the boats were coming together. He | | reevived two belis and stopped the boat, aud | immediately heard a grating noise and’ the | poais collided. The Pentz was carrying forty | three pounds of steam at the time and was al- | lowed to carry fifty pounds. | ‘The witness said that at times the beam of | the Pontz wax ten or fiiteen feet ahead of the | beam of the Washington, which is an important | point as bearing on the navigation laws and is [in dispute between the two vessels. The witness testified that the Pentz often | passed the Norfolk before reaching Alexandria, but could not say whether the Washington had ever been passed. CAPT. RANDALL'S TESTIMONY. Capt. E. S. Randall, the owner of the Pentz, who was on board at the time, next testified. His attention was first directed to the Wash- ington when the two boats had straightened out down the river. The Washington was about fifty yards alead and running very slow. His idea ‘ag the time was that the Washington intended to allaw the Pentz to pass on ahead, and he told the engineer to go ahead. At the forks of the channel the two boats were about side and side and he could look from his for- ward gangway into the forward gangway of the Washington. The Washington blew two whistles. At that time the Pentz’s beam | was twenty-five fect ahead of the beam of the | Washington, and he thought by the Washing- | ton blowing two whistles that she recognized the fact that the Pentz was ahead. His atte tion was then called to a small sehconer anchored on the starboard bow. He remarked at the time that it would be pretty close work passing the schooner, and if her yawl boat had not been hauled im ‘it would have been run down. In his epinion the mid not have gone to the westward of ‘Vhe ferry boat was passed shortly, going to the westward of the Pentz, On nearmg the trap nets the Pentz blew the Washington one whistle, but received no answer. The Wash- ington afterwar] blew three short whistles and afew seconds afterward started to cross the Pentz’s bow. The Pentz slowed down and stopped. The Washington struck on the Pentz's port bow, about 109 feet trom the stern of the Washington. ‘Che witmess estimated the damage to the Pentz at about #150. The Pentz at the beginning, he said, could not bave gone to the eastward, as there was not room. HIS CROSS-EXAMINATION. On cross-examination it was brought out that at the time the Pentz came up to the Washing- tom she failed to blow one whistle, as is cus- tomary when one vessel designs to right hand side. The Pentz, said Ca dail, was forced to the west 5 ‘The witness testified that on Weduesday even- ings the Norfolk boat gave way tor the Pent at the Alexandria wharf and other eves notice is given. ‘the Pentz at the t accident did not design to stop at Alcxandria. | In answer to a question he seid he thought it | would have been more dangerous to have slowed the Pentz down than to pass between the anchored schooner and the Washington. By slowing up, he suid, the Pentz woula have been drawn directly into the Washington. Capt. Tul of the Pentz then testified in answer tp a question that he did not give any signal to the Washington when he caufe up with her, as e did not think it necessary. Capt. Davis was then asked if in his regular course there was always room to the westward for a side-wheel steamer, and replied that there was not at the poiut of collision. This closed the testimony for the present. — Samuel Simpson Sentenced. In the Criminal Court yesterday District Attorney Cole called attention to the case of Samuel Sitapson, 2 colored boy of iifteen years, indicted for the marder of Frederick Wheeler by stabbing him on February 27, causing his death on March 2, and he was sentenced to ten years at Albany and a tine of 5. Capt. Cole stated that the stabbing was done ina fight at the reform school and le was satistied the evi dence dil not warrant a verdict of murder and at the same time it was more’ than man- slaughter. He was satisfied that bad we here degrees of murder, as in some places, this would be a case of murder in the second degree. ; ‘The government, under the circumstances, would consent to receive a plea of man- slaughter. Mr. ‘Taylor said he had advised thie course, ag the case was nothing more nor less than manslanghter. Simpson was called up and in answer to the court said he had been in the Reform School nineteen months for stealing; that the cutting was with a case knife, which he had sharpened some weeks before, and on the day in question he got into a quarrel with Wheeler, who picked up two stones and he cut him in the left brenst. Judge Bradley said that the penalty, ten years, was inadequate punishment. for the tak- ing of human life under such circumstances and he conld not do otherwise than to iniict the maximum, which he could reduce by good behavior. and he hoped he would earn’ some- thing and come out with a determination to live an honest life. He was given ten yei the Albany peniteutiary and @ fine of 85. | Marine Band Concert. The following is the program of the concert tobe given by the Marine Band, 8.

Recently the Commissioners wrote a letter to the first controller inclosing a copy of the dv- cision of the Supreme Court in the Le Droit park fence case, and requesting information relative to the Commissioners’ right to light the streets in that subdivision. Controller Matthews today delivered his opinion, which was submitted to the Commis sioners. He ways: “Jt appears from that copy (Supreme Court decision) that sid case was not decided upon the merits, but the decision above mentioned resulted only in a temporary réstraining order until the case shall be decided on its merits, “The streets in Le Droit Park have been used by the public gnd have been improved under appropriations made by Congress without ob- jection on the part of the people residing or owning property in said park, and it would em, therefore, that such persons standing b; nd seeing those streets used by the public an proved at public expense zhould be con- sidered and held to be estopped from claiming said strevts ax private property. “It is a matter within the administrative dis- cretion of the Commissioners whether thove streets shall be lighted at public expense dur- ing the pendency of the above-named case. “Of course, if it has been decided or shall be finally decided that, what are called streets in Le Droit Park, are not public streets, but are private walks und driveways, no public money should be expended in lighting them after such decision. “it ia respectfully suggested that the Com- missioners might very properly refuse to ex- Pend public money in, improving those streets or driveways until said case shall be decided upon ite merits. ‘fo make expensive improvements is a very different thing from paying the current ex- penses of lighting the streets, pending the tinal decision of the court in the above-named case.” ee REPAIRING ASPHALT STREETS, A Change in the System—Two Gangs to be Employed All the Time. The Commissioners decided today to improve the system of repairing asphalt pavements. ‘Their action was based upon the following let- ter from Capt. Rossell: “AVith a view of increasing the efficiency of the street repairs on asphalt pavements, I have the honor to ask that You issue an order that from July 1 proximo until further orders the contrac- tor be required to keep two gangs on repairs all the time, and that im addition to this at least twice a month a list of cuts made in the aspbait streets by plumbers and others be sent to the contractor and that he be required to repair them at once by a third gang.” ‘Lhe Commissioners, appreciating the advira- bility of such an improvement on the method heretofore employed, approved the recommen- dation and issued an order accordingly to- day. —_—__ A WASHINGTON WHEELMAN HONORED.

Washington may not have the honor of being the place of the annual mect of the League of American Wheelmen this year, but it will have the honor of holding an important office in that body during the next twelve months. Mr. Geo. 8. Atwater, well known in the cycling world, both locally and nationally, has ac- cepted the proffer of the office of chairman of the racing board made to him some days ago by President Dunn. The following letter, re- ceived last week by Mr. Atwater, nes the es- teem in which he is held and the reputation that he has gained for honest, intelligent work in wheeling matters: “it gives me much pleasure to offer you the appointment of chairman of the racing board. Feeling well assured of your ability to perform fearlessly and honorably all the duties of this important office and knowing well your zeal and loyalty to the league and its best interests, 1 beg to assure you of my belief that your acceptance of this office will bring to my'support in the admin- istration of the affairs of the league a firm, practical, conservative head, heart and hand upon which I shall greatly depend for the #uc- cess of my future efforts.

Mr. Atwater has accepted and this evening he and Mr. Dunn, on their way to the Hagers- town races, will formulate the new racing policy of the league. ‘The chairmanship of the racing board is one of the most important chives in the L.A.W. and is most eagerly sougit for by all.

Atwater as his succestor any wo easy or inviting, as the chances are that the entire west will now antagonize him, merely for “Auld Lang Syne.” He needs no introduction to the wheelmen of Washington, nor indeed of the eastern part of the country. He has been closely identitied with organized cycling for over teu years, and is today one of the most active members of the league. As chief consul of this division he has done much to advance the interests of the league, and as chairman of the racing board he will undoubtedly show a gratifying amount of zeal, enterprine, honesty and discretion...

Lucas seemed intensely in- terested and amused at the evidence that was given against him, and then he tried toexplain it all away, but Judge Kimball sent him down for ninety days in default of bail. pamisorhancae In Baltimore on Tuesday Cardimal Gibbons, Rey.
