The First Meeting of the Association Will Take Place Here. | One of the novel fentures of the coming Grand Army encampment will be the first meeting of the ‘tional Association of Old Army Chaplains, which will be held at the Metropolitan Methodist Church in this city on the first evening of the encampment. | This association was formed at the last annual encampment of the Grand Army, which was | held at Detroit, Mich., last August.

From the way the game opened it looked as | though it was to be a battery battle. Neither | side could get around in the first, though Crooks, who had been given first on balls, nearly ‘reached home on Brodie's long hit to | Donovan. The latter promptly fielded the ball home and nipped Crooks at the plate.

The series which closed yesterday wus espe- | cially hard on the western clubs, Cincinnati | being the only club that was able to gaina| point. The best work wus done by Philadelphia | and Boston, each winning thirteen games and | meeting with defeat five times. By their spurt | the Phillies moved up from tenth place to | fourth in the championship race. Brooklyn | won twelve out of the eighteen games played and Cincinnati moved up from fourth to third R irtue of the eleven victories. New | ork and Washington managed to win and lose nine games apiece, while Chicago, Cleveland and St. Louis each won eight and met with de- | feat in ten games, Next come Pittsburg and | Baltimore, who managed to win six games out of the eighteen played, while Louisville did the | pootest of all, only being able to vanquish her | opponents five times. Cincinnati was the only | western club that managed to win a majority of the games played. DEALS FOR PLAYERS. President Temple of the Pittsburg club yes- terday completed a triangu‘ar deal by which he hopes to strengthen his club. He made an ex- change with Von der Ahe, trading Galvin for Stricker, and then swapped Stricker for Pitcher Terry, lately released by Brooklyn, First Baseman Louis Whistler and Catcher | Hess were released by the Baltimore club yesterday. Hess may eign with the Phila- | delphia club, which needs acatcher, because in | the absence of Mulvey, Cross must be kep: at third base.

Of the 105 deaths, 46, or hearly one-half, were under five years of age,and ef these there were 38 infants under twelve months old. The contagious diseases no longer prevail to such an extent as to cause anxiety in the public mind. But one death from diphtheria and two from whooping cough occurred during the week. Malarial influences caused two fatal cases of typhoid fever and one of rémittent fever.

The Washington Training School for Nurses was incorporated by act of Congress dated De- cember 14, 1877, its particular object and business being the education of skilled nurses, suitable for the needs of hospitals and cay of being intrusted with the care of the sick in their own homes. It is proposed to accomplish such training: by lectures, oral instraction and | | recitation in the rudiments of such branches of | the . | the sciences of medicine and hygiene as may be | switches, the inclines, number sufficient for the purpose, supplemented by re be carefully attended to. ““The prevalence of Asiatic cholera in western | and central Asia is at present attracting the earnest attention of E sicians.

RESULT OF THE HOT WEATHER. ‘The warm weather during the past few days has proved very uncomfortable for persons whose labors call them out in the sun. Brick- rs and hodcarriers have anffered consider- ably and several of the latter had to_quit work. In such cases the physicians at the Emergency Hospital have done good service, and the police ambulance and patrol wagons have also done good service in getting the sick to places where they conld be treated without delay. Three in- nts who died from the effects of the heat without medical attendance were viewed by Acting Coroner Schaeffer, who gave certificates of death from natural causes. Ralph Boxley, a colored hodearrier who lives at No. 5 Cedar street, was overcome by the heat whilesworking near New Jersey avenue anil L street southeast yesterday. He was sent home in No. 5 patrol wagon. ‘arter and a man named Mercer, both of whom are inmates of the Soldiers’ Home, org rested at the Emergency Hospital during Ye Accolored laborer named Jefferson Jackson was taken ill while working on a stable yester- lay. He was also treated at the Emergency Hospital, after which he was sent home. ‘The heat disabled George Smith, a colored man who lives in Freeman's alley. He was working on Connecticut avenue at the time and | the police removed him to his home. While passing along New Hampshire avenue Eliza Hawkins was taken sick from the effects of the heat. ment and went to her home in P street alley. TREATMENT OF SUNSTROKE. The police manual contains a clanse giving instructions concerning the treatment of cases | of sunstroke. “Cases of this kind,” says the instructions, “must be handled and treated with great care. If the hands and face are cold and white, eves sunken, skin cold and clammy und bathed in sweat, the breathing interrupted and sighing, all of which symptoms denote faintness and weakness, perfect rest, quiet and stimulants are the remedies. Do not raise them with the head high nor jolt them in moving nor send them a‘great distance toa station or hospital untile physician has examined them. Place them in a shady locality, with head low. and give small and frequent doses of stimulants until the arrival of a physician. “If,on the contrary, the face be bluish or red or purple, with the veins of the forehead and neck distended and eyes bloodshot, you | must raise the head moderately and apply ice freely to head and back of neck. Give no stimulants without the advice of a physician.” During the past three days thirteen deaths from summer complaints have been reported to the health office, eight of which resulted from cholera infantum. eg aS A MOTHER'S INSANE DEED. She Drowns Herself and Two of Her Five | Children. Mrs. George Beaudrey of South Bay City, Mich., jumped into the river yesterday with her two children. All were drowned. George Beaudrey and wife came to Bay City eighteen years ago from Montreal. “He was a harness maker by trade, but hus not followed that busi- | ness for several years. Yesterday morning | about 6 o'clock Mrs. Beandrey arose a6 usual | and began getting breakfast. Her husband and | the children were in bed. A few minutes later | she aroused George and Victoria, the youngest | of her family of five, dressed them and started | for the river. Arriving there she sat down on the dock with a child on either side. Suddenly | she pushed the boy into the river, and seeing a | man coming down the street she jumped in her- | self with the girl in her arms. | man reached the river in time to see the | mother and children about to sink. She was holding the little girl under_water and the boy | was floundering about. The man gave the alarm, but it was too late. The bodies were ré- covered, Beaudrey sayshe cannot account for the awful action of his wife. ‘Wedded in a Cemetery. ‘The strangest and most unique marriage ever performed in Baltimore took place Mon- day within the boundaries of Greentount cemetery over the graves of the parents of the | bride. Additional importance attaches to the event, owing to the prominence of the contract- ing parties. The groom was Col. Hendrick von Stamp, ex-minister of Den: to the United States, a knight of the Order of Danne- brog, and the bride was Miss Mildred Ham- mond of Baltimore, danghter of the late Gen. Hammond. Six carriages were occupied by the wedding party, but the vehicles were suj josed to be a funeral ‘as they slowly the Ham- CI formed, the bride standing upon the grave of her mother and the groom standing upon the grave of the bride's father.

One of the most destructive fires that ever | visited the water front of Baltimore started at 2225 o'clock yesterday afternoon on the bay line wharf, at the foot of Union dock. A workman saw a flach among the thourands of bales of cotton stored there and gave the alarm. Al- most before the great crowd of workmen on the spot knew it the entire water ed ge of the Bay Line or, properly speaking, the Baltimore Steam Packet Company, was a roaring furnace. Three hours later the ruin was complete and a dam- age moderately computed at $400,000 had been done. The immense wooden freight sheds lining Union dock 500 feet. the basin front 400 fect and the «mall dock at the west 250 feet, were a mags of debris. Thousands of dollars worth of baled cotton, hogsheads of tobacco, bags of flour, barrels’ of whisky and rosin end mis- cellancous freight were destroyed and the large brick freight and general’ offices, cotton storage shed, a laundry and private fire and lighting plant that were clustered within the irregul: rangle of the wharves were burnt out, leaving crect only their stout brick walla Everything was roasting with the heat of the day when the fire started. How it began no one knows. Spontaneous combustion was suggested by adozen theorists, but there is no certainty about the matter. The tire did not stop on the Bay Line property, but went farther to the north and destroyed the oil warehouse of James Corner & Son's with its contents, This struc- ture was about 1,000 feet north of the fire's o in. Spreading from it the flames attacked a pile of rosin barrels lying on Union dock. It is well that they stopped there, for on the northern side of Corner’s rosin ehed was a brick wall dividing | the fire from an immense warehouse in which besides barrels of oil was a huge iron tank con- taining 2,500 gallons of turpentine. Capt. Darius J. Hill, superintendent of the Packet Company, was ‘on the second floor of the office building. He found himself sur- rounded by flames, and ordered that the four laundry women be taken out. His next thought was for the Norfolk steamer Carolina, Capt. Hill gathered the demoralized freight rushers where the steamer lay and ordered her lines to be cast off, and she was thus saved. The le about the place made their eseape, but Capt. Fir’ waited. too long and _was badly burned about the face and hands. He lost a great deal of valuable personal property. * In the meantime the flames savagely attacked the barrels of rosin and spiritson the wharf and spread to the four-masted schooner Augus- tus Welt, loaded with ice at the Cochran-Oler dock. Everything above the water's edge was quickly destroyed, the flames communi- cated to some ‘adjoining vessels, several schoon- ers and lighters being badly K The. ferniture factory of Hollander & Co., four blocks from the pier, was found to be ablaze at 5o’clock.
