Pittsburg leaped out of last plese yesterday by defeating New York. Washington reaches out a sympathetic hand. Four men stole on McGuire y, while but one Senator was able to do the act on Don- ohue. McGuire had an off-day, surely. There were 900 people present at the game in Columbus, 420 in Cincinnati, 2,500 in Louis- ville and 2,500 in St. Louis. Washington can hold her own with these figures. ‘There is # team going through the south un- der the name of Washington that is being regu- larly done up wherever it strikes anpther team. itis bidding high for reputation on the fact that it has a pitcher named Leach, who is her- alded asa “great association pitcher.” Mace is one of the leading lights. There hax been a good deal of experimenting this year among the association teams. Balti more, however, has tried the fewest players, having signed but 15. Columbus bas had 18, St. Louis 19, Boston and Philadelphia 20 each, Cincinnati 22, Louisville 29 and Washington 32. In view of the fact that the last three named are leading the wrong end of the list there might be a sermon concealed in these figures. It might be mentioned that Washington's num- ber does not include managers. rsey canuot blame anybody but himself for feat yesterday. He was hit hard, gave five men bases on balls and made a wild pitch. A week from toda} Senator il appear on the home grounds again in battle with the Athletics.

Liteljorg, it is said, was down on the score cards in Columbus to pitchin yesterday's game, but he refused to take bis tuen m the box for some reason or other, and wo Carsey had to go in. There must Le some error about this, for of allmen who could make Eiteljorg pitch Shannon is the one. He is understood to have a great deal of influence with the young man with the hard name, who must have hed some good reason for not trying his band again against the batters of the association. Shannon seems to be satistied with the exper- iment of playing second to Hatfield's short, for | he is continuing the trick with every appear- ance of success. The Washington typos gave the visiting stickers from Cincinnati another object lesson of how to play the game yesterday, and wou by the score of 7 to 6.

How the Thousands of G. A. R. Visitors Were ‘Taken Care of. ADMIRABLE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE GRAND PARADE — PREPARING FOR WASHINGTON IX "92—THE ROUTE TO BE SELECTED—GooD WORK OF THE WASHINGTON COMMITTEE. ‘Staff Correspondence of The Evening Star. Dernorr, August 6, 1891. I write this while Detroit is still busy with the entertainment of the many thousands of Visitors who came to see the Grand Army pa- rade. The G.A.R. encampment is about closing its work. The roll of drums cap still be heard about the city. Bodies of men are marching away and the city is being slowly emptied. It is estimated that there were 200,000 people in the city Tuesday, the day of the parade, besides the men in line. The number of men in line, including the Sons of Veterans and the Naval Veterans, who marched with tye G.A-R., is variously estimated from 28,000 to 40,000. There were probably 30,000 men in line. The day was warm and the route was nearly six miles long. Many of the veterans suffered se- yerely. Some of them who cripples hobbled bravely over the whole length of the route, but they were nearly exhausted at the end. The encampment has voted to limit the route hereafter to two miles. Already the prob- able route of the parade in Washington has been discussed and it has been generally sup- — that the parade will be formed about the ‘apitol building and that the route will take in Pennsylvania avenue from the Capitol to the Washington Circle, going past the White House. The route of the parade will be fixed by the officers of the Grand Army and announced by the commander-in-chief in orders. Of course it is expected that the parade will pass over the line followed by the soldiers in the grand review of 1865. ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE DETROIT PARADE. The parade in this city, so far as the citizens had anything to do with it, was well managed. A good width in the center of the streets passed over was kept clear. Wire ropes were stretched the whole distance on each side of the street, allowing the spectators not only all of the side- walk, buton mos the streets from ten to fifteen feet of treet pavement on each side. The ropes were supported by or run through iron stakes driven into the strect pave- ment. The National Guardsmen patroled theline the parade and did effective service. Then there were National Guardsmen all along the line with canteens, which were kept filled with water. They would march along with a file of men until the canteen had been passed from one to another and then drop back to another file. This service was gratefully uppreciated by the menin line, made hot and thirsty by lon, waiting and long marching. It is the general verdict of visitors that Detroit. has done its work effectively. The streets of the city are decorated superbly. Imposing arches span the streets. ‘The decoration of Private houses is noticeable not only on account of its profusion, but in many cases on account Of its expensive character. FLABONATE DECORATION. One large firm here having business houses opposite each other on both sides of Woodward avenue erected a tower on each side of the street supporting a bridge spanning the rond- way. This structure was most elaborately decorated. The floor of the bridge was about thirty feet above the street and the towers at each end went up fifteen feet higher. There wasasentry box at each end. A bugler was stationed in one box and a drummer in the other, while two uniformed sentries paced the bridge all day long with mus t support. At night the bridge was illuminated with hun- dreds of incandescent electric lights. THE FUNDS AXD EXPENSES. Detroit's committee had $117,000 at its dis- posal for the entertainment of the G. A. K. Of this sum $67,000 was subscribed by citizens and $50,000 was voted by the city council. The largest single item of expense was the con- structicn of the necessary buildings and the furnishing of the necessary conveniences ut Camp Sherman, in the suburbsof the city, alarge camp where thousands of Grand Army men were given free quarters. I am told by Mr. Bruce Goodfellow, the chairman of the finance committee, that Camp Sherman cost the com- mittee $37,000. The finance committee hope to return to subscribers an unexpended balance amounting to about 5 per cent of the whole sum subscribed. The city hall, which fronts on the Cumpus Martius, has been bril- hantly illuminated every night this week. There have been firework displays on the river esting game—scor the visitors being unabie to make a hit owing to the good battery work of W. Frey and Eibel. es A SHOOTING TOURNAMENT.

It was| close and exciting, though full of some very bed bali playing. ‘It was interesting to see just when « man would do the right thing, and the main attraction lay in the uncertainty as to what sort of an error would come next. The losers tried the St. Louis act and made six runs im one inning and four in another, but these Were not enough, for the soldiers were scatter- ing enough runs all through the game to get the victory bys neck.

Goop commITTEE work. ‘The various departments of work under the direction of the citizens’ committee have been managed well. Visitors found the bureau of information of great value. central office, where many clerks and volunteers were engaged day and night furnishing all kinds of information useful to strangers, and branch offices were located imevery part of the city. Directories complete in the informa- tion they contained were printed and freely dis- tributed. SIMILAR TO WASHINGTON. Visitors from Washington who have come to Detroit for the first time have commented on the similarity of the design of the central part of the city and that of the part of Warh- ington around the Capitol building. Broad avenues radiate from a common center, but they do not go véry far before they are stopped and the city is readjusted on the rectangular plan. ‘This is becatse the original plan of the city wax not on a scale suflicient to provide for the growth of the city. "Wood- ward, who laid out the city, was a Wash- ingtonian, who wav a great admirer of Major LEnfant and of his plan for Washington. He came to Detroit early in the century and lid out the city. He gave the principal ave- gue in his plan his own name of Woodward. To other places he attached high-sounding titles, derived chiefly from Roman_ history. Many of these names have disappeared, but the broad space in front of the city hall is still called the Campus Martius, and there is a circl which Woodward named the Circus Maximus and which is now called the Grand Circus. ‘The country surrounding the old city was owned by French Canadians. Every French- man believed it necessary to his happiness to have some water front fora musk rat farm. ‘The result was that the land was cut up into long narrow strips, so that each could have a | muskrat farm on the water. ‘This condition of affairs had its influence on the plan of the ad- ditions to the city and prevented the design of Woodward to have a reproduction of the city of Washington trom being carried out. ‘THE WASHINGTON COMMITTEE OF INVITATION to the G. A. R. will reach home Saturday night at 8:15 o'clock if present plans are carried out. They bave worked hard while here and feel that they deserve to take it easy on the road home. ‘They will go home as they came. ina privat he guests of Mr. Jt A. Parke of the Pennsylvaria ruilroad, who has beeu inost hospitable in tions to the commiitee, every want being anticipated. Messrs. Staples and Wood of the comnuttee will take a short trip to Chicago beiore going home. Bir. S. B. Hege will, of course, be unable to accompany the committeé, as he has to look after the irge gre which cume out under his charge by the timore and Ohio route. ‘Lhe Washington party here are especially well pleased with the many attentions they have received from Messrs. Hege and Parke, who had charge of the trains. These gentlemen looked closely after the interests of their excursionists, and many discomforts usual on such occasions were avoided. HOW MRS. HENDRICKS CAUGHT UP. When the Baltimore and Ohio trains left Washington Sunday morning Mrs. Hendricks, the president of the departmentreliet corps, was waiting ut the station at Gaithersburg, ex- cting that one of the sections would stop for Ber, By some misunderstanding both trains dashed by the station and Mrs. Hendricks was inadilemma. So was her husband and all the Indies of the corps who were on the train. Mr. Hege then undertook to get her on the train. He managed her trip by wiring her what train to take aud wiring her from time to time until the at last overtook the Washington special at Chicago junction at 2 o'clock Monday morn- ing. It is needless to say that Mrs. Hendricks received a hearty greeting from all on th truin. What seemed to be an impossibility was overcome by Mr. Hege’s vol management and Mrs, Hendricks’ determination. ‘The members of the Washington committee, Corporal Tanner, Col. C. ¥.

One of them pranced around in frontof the reporter, noticed his press badge and immediately grabbed him by the hand. “Shake, old man!” he howled. “Let me con- gratulate you!” “What for?” “Why, the encampment goes to Lincoln next ir!

Some Stories of Incidents In the South Da- kotan's Political Career. custom may not be fol-] AN INTERVIEW WHICH CREATED CONSIDERABLE OF 4 SENSATION AND MADE 4 BITTER FEUD BETWEEN PETTIGREW AXD ORDWAY—HOW EE SILENCED A PROFESSIONAL BLACKMAILER. “I have just been enjoying an interview with Senator Pettigrew in your paper,” said Col. Charles W. Johnson, chief clerk of the United States Senate, this morning. “Everything Senator Pettigrew says and does pleases me. It may be interesting to you to know about my first meeting with the Senator. It was in 1881, when both of us were green.” “When and where did the meeting occur, colonel?” “It was right here in Washington. Frank Pettigrew was a popular young man in Dakots territory, and had entered the political arena only two years before. He was an ive young man who had determined to come to Congress, and had accomplished his purpose. He traveled all over that immense territory, which is as big as all New England, New York and Pennsylvania, and captured the wild and woolly convention. His almost unanimous nomination was equivalent to an election, and he very soon read his title clear to a seat in the House of Repreventatives. I said that he was ‘green,’ but I meant that he was a green band at national legislation, when we met here in November, 1881. I was an exceedingly green young man from Minnesota, whence I had come to represent the Pioneer Press of St. Paul. In making my daily rounds of the hotels Ifound the name of RF. Pettigrew on the National Hotel register, and sent up my card. ed statesman invited me to ‘He was a tall, angular, raw-boued young man, far from handsome, and with a smile as big as that of Smiling Tom Brent's, the new delegate from Washington territory. There was no style about him. He was atypical prairie bird from the almost boundless terri- tory which he represented. When I asked him for an interview he declared his utter ignorance of everything interesting. But I had heard that there was a great quarrel pending between Pettigrew and Gov. Ordway, and I asked his opinion of the New Hampshire man, who was the chief executive official of the ‘territory. ‘That was striking the right lead for an inter- view. He immediately opened up, crossed his Jong legs and commenced to talk. 1t was im- mediately interesting, and I {produced my pencil and paper and commenced taking notes. le gave me a seat at the table and talked to me fora full hour. He said that the governor was everything bad, mean and wicked. He bluntly accused him of stealing whole counties, making money out of county-seat locations, and, in fact, said so much that I afterward hesitated about sending out my interview lest 1 might get my paper into trouble and get myself knocked out of a job. But I had the nerve to send it and it proved of lasting interest.” ORDWAY STRUCK BACK. “What was the result?” “Well, Governor Ordway read that interview and immediately replied to it. Pettigrew. like the manly fellow that he is, did not deny the re- port which I had sent. The columns of all northwestern newspapers teemed with crimina- tion, recrimination, vilification. It was the most bitter, acrimonious, almost diabolical per- sonal wrangle ever published in the press of any country. Those men went at it, hammer and tongs, to villify and abuso each other. They said things for publication which never should have been printed. For two years con- tinuously the wordy warfare was kept up, and the young delegate became better known ‘than guy man in the territory ad ever been known fore.” “Did Pettigrew hold his own in the contro- versy?” “He did; and to such excellent effect that the people became his admirers for his personal courage and continuity of purpose. But he was matched with an experienced politician. Gov- ernor Ordway had been sergeant-at-armsof the House of Representatives for twelve years, was personally acquainted with every prominent an in the coungy, and was, withal, 20 shrewd that it, was largely, due to "his manipulations that Frank Pettigrew was not renominated in 1882. But be was popularand potent enough to secure the nomi- bation of bis friend John B Raylond to sue- ceed himself in Congress. After that Pettigrew retired from politics and devoted his entire time and energies to making money. He be- came a wealthy man, who quietly and modestly retained his political friendships. While ask- ing no political preferment be worked bard for | PoTt- the division of the territory into two states and also for the opening of the great Sioux Teseration to settlement. | With the passing of the years he grew in perso pularity an: declined the nomination of hiv party for the delegateship twice. He was simply @ plain business man, he said, and used his tical ngth solely tc help his friends.” Vhen did his controversy with Gov. Ordway cease? “It has really not ceased yet. When the Senator isin Washington he will give you as sggremive an interview concerning his enemy as he gave me ten years ago, if you wantit. If you want the other side of the question, I pre- sume that Gov. Ordway will talk to you about the Senator just as bitterly as he talked then, But, when Gov. Ordway's term expired in 1884, he lett Dakota and returned to Washington, where he still remains. He isa man of much more than ordinary ability, has many warm friends and admirers in the Dakotas today, and still retains his residence in Bismarck, where he is regarded as a citizen, although the bulk of his business interests are in Washington.” HARDLY ON SPEAKING TERMS. re Pettigrew and Ordway on speaking term: “I should hardly think so; but I do not know. In 1889, when statchood had been accomplished, Pettigrew made no apparent effort to be elected to the Senate. He remained in Sioux all summer attending to business. But somebody had half a million handsome silk badges printed with the picture of a long pi: erei in the center, and the words ‘Frank Vetti grew, the’ at one end and ‘Senator’ at the other, When he was in Congress Frank Petti- grew had been called the ‘long pickerel states- man,’ and the badge was intended to be read “Frank Pettigrew, the long pickerel Senator.’ Every little boy and girl on the broad pratrios wore one of those handsome badges. ‘There were men in every ovuuty talking of nothing but Frank Pettigrew for the Senate; and it was apparent early in the season after harvest that Pettigrew was coming to the Senate. When that tact was settled Pettigrew went out of hiv way to begin an aggressive warfare upon Gov. Ordway, who was then making a canvass of North Dakota, with the expectation of being elected to the Senate Pettigrew was again irterviewed almost daily and reiterated all - that he had origmally charged against the ex-governor. Thave been told that he wrote a thousand or more letiers to his friends in the north state, urging them to opp.re Gov. Ordway and de- ciare themuelvex against hit. When the legis lature of South Dakota convened Pettigrew wes elected to the Senate; and when the legis- lature of North Dakota convened Gov. Ordway tuiled of an election. From this recent renewal of hostilities I presume that they are not on good terms. They never were as lovely and Pleasant in their lives as David and Jonathan, and it is not likely that they are now like unto Damon and Pythias. I feel that by reason of that o: interview I'am in some degree responsible for the notoriety which Pettigrew molded into popularity; and, powsibly, I am re- sponsible, at the same time, for some of the political failures of Gov. Ordway. It was my work which brought their personslities before the people. Asa newspaper man, I congratu- late myself upon my work, when novice. In- dividually, Lam sorry that I had anything to do with the origin of such a fend, for they might have become friends and allies but for that tirst public outbreak of young Pettigrew.” While I'am writing of the aggressive Sena- tor, whose personality is so striking, and espe- from that state. & iF incident which happened al Johnson had his beeeay and resultant interview with the fledgling statesman who has since at- tained such distinction and success.

Now go!” The fellow disappeared, and, althongh he continues here in his nefarious practice and secures victims, he has never crossed the path of the indomitable westerner, and he never wi ANOTHER INCIDENT. One more incident: Several years ago when Pettigrew was out of politics he heard that a young newspaper man who had spoken kindly of him while he was in Congress had suffered financial losses and was in distress. him aletter from Sioux Falls, saying: “I am informed that you are hard up.’ If this is trae please dome the kindness to draw on me at sight for $100.” The draft was drawn and honored.

Rye, However, Appears Unconcerned—His Story of the Shooting. The funeral of the iste J. J. Wheeler, the Charles county school teacher, who was shot and killed by J. Marshall Rye, Wednesday afternoon, asherctofore published in Tux Stax, took place from his late home in Lower Nanje- moy at noon yesterday. His remains were taken to the Durham Church, where the pastor, Rev. M. Painter, conducted the services. The church was crowded, nearly every person in the neighbor- hood attending the funeral. The deceased, who was well ‘connected and had been a teacher in the public schools for a number of years, was very popular, not only about his home in the third election district, but throughout the county, as he was well known in all sections. ‘he manner in which he came to his death is | still under investigation by the coroner's jury and it is likely that a verdict will be reached today. THREATS OF LYNCHIN3. The tragedy has greatly excited the people throughout Charles county and since the news of the fatal shot was received men have gath- ered about in small groups at the country stores and post offices and discussed the affair, nearly every one denouncing the prisoner, who as confined in jail. Wheeler's friends, and they are numerous, have indulged in threats against Rye, but no demonstration bas been made to warrant the sheriff in the belief that he has any reason to fear mob law. Sheriff Adams does not anticipate any tron- ble, although he Probably would not be en tirely surprised if the citizens should break into the jailand carry off his prisoner. ._ Rye is apparently the most uncourerned man in the vicinity of Port Tobacco. He does not know how the feeling is against him, and from the fact that he believes he acted in self-defense he is perfectly calm and collected. He is not handcuffed or ironed in any manner, as persons charged with murder are usually kept in county jails, although the sheriff has the neces- sary irons in readiness should they be needed. ‘The prisoner converses freely about the homi- cide, as though he bas nothing to conceal. THE PRISONER'S STORY. The beginning of the trouble, says the pris- oner, was in the early part of July, when some one vent the school teacher @ letter accusing him of improper relations with one of his pupils, and giving the name of Marion Han- cock, his (Rye's) niece, as authority for the re- ‘The girl was a pupil in Wheeler's school at the time. “Wheeler,” he says, “kept the child in school for one hour at the end of a session and taxed her with spreading the report, and en- deavored by every means to induce her to admit that she was guilty. This, however, she refused to do, and maintained her innocence throughout. “When I heard of this occurrence Isaid to Mr. John Kendrick that Whecler was no gentleman. I suppose that Mr. Kendrick repeated what I said to Mr. Wheeler, for I never said it to Wheeler and never sent him any mewsage concerning the matter. The whole thing occurred in the early part of July. Imet Mr. Wheeler about two weeks after I made the statement tu Mr. Kendrick, but be said nothing to me nor I to him at that time.” CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE SHOOTING. Concerning the shooting the prisoner says that Wednesday afternoon Wheeler drove up to the house of John Bowie, his (Kye's) nephew, and sent a boy named Buck Johnson in for him (Rye). “I was on the front porch stemming some tobacco,” he says, “and I went out to the front te, where Wheeler was seated in a buggy. When I got within about twenty feet of the fence Wheeler asked me what I meant by say- ing he was no gentleman. hat be had kept my niece locked up in his school room one hour and tried to make her tell a lie. ‘his I did not think was proper conduct for a teacber and I had said so. Wheeler then got out of his buggy and, coming to the fence, put his hand on the top railing agif to get over, saying at the tame time that he was going to have re- dress, As he did this I drew my pistol and shot him. I did not know that he was not armed and felt that I was in danger. I had been told thata neighbor had said that be would make ‘Juck Wheeler whip me.” WILL NOT EMPLOY A LAWYER. Rye says that he does not intend to employ a lawyer He says he could have escaped into Virginia after the shooting had he desired to do so but he thinks that upon hearing of the case he will be exonerated Buck Jolnson, the boy sent in to Rye by Wheeler, is the’ only witness to the shouting. Wheeler’ at the time of the shooting was un- armed and, as heretofore stated, he was crip- pled and had to walk with the aid of erutehes. the men were on the opposite sides of the feuce when the shooting took place. Dr. Speake, who epost mortem ex- ainination, described 9 the coroner's jury yesterday the course of the bullets. ‘The piece of lead that entered the chest passed through the heart and also penetrated the lungs. The other bullet that took effect lodged in his hip. If the citizens do not take the law into their own hands Rye will probably be tried in No- Vember, as the next session of the grand jury will be lield during the first part of that month. talon at SCHOOL BOAKD TROUBLES.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: E When Dr. Mary Walker and Mre, Lockwood some time ago mistook the unknown corpse at the morgue for that of myself, as published in Tue Stax and other papers at the time, it did not occur to me for a moment that it might be that of my younger brother. I had never rec- ognized any particular resemblance between us; he was seventeen years my junior. Thad not heard from him fora year or more at the time, nor had any idea where he was, except ‘that the last [had heard from him be was in New York city. Besides, he was as well known to both Mrs. Lockwood and Dr. Mary Walker as I was, and neither of them made any mention of him, as far as I saw, in their statements in the presa, aud this after it was ascertained that I wav not the man at the morgue. The fact of these ladies being present and not recognizing him would have been strong prima facie evidence to me, if the question had occurred to me, that he was not my brother.

My brother was a very active man for such a poor death, He was what is called # “hustler,” or “rusher.” He was, from farmer's bey in Dhnois, a Normal Institute graduate there.
