Auten of Chicago, W. W. Kerr and A. O. Buckenberger obtained con- trol of the Pittsburg Base Ball Club. They se- cured the entire stock of W.C. Temple by purchase and that gentleman now retires from the club. Mr. Temple owned 400 shares of stock and enough others to give him a controll- ing interest in the organization. ‘The new pur- chasers take this stock in about equal shares, and this leaves Mr. Auten the largest individual holder. Mr. Buckenberger will be continued as presi- dent and the team will be conducted on busi- ness lines. Under Mr. Temple's control the club enjoyed its greatest prog; an burg hr ibe beet ball can iw repre sented the city.

Ina letter to Trainer Jim Robinson Cary says: “I will train as I never trained before, and any man who defeats me will have to make anew record. After my experience last sum- mer I have come to the conclusion that a man has to train hard in order to run in good form.” Cary adds that he will take part in the world’s fair contests.

The CORBETT, THE PUGILIST. Some Reasons for the Numerous Malignant Attacks Upon Him. Corbett, the champion pugilist, has grossly | offended the “ayorts” of the country since b whipped Sullivan. He has upset all the tradi- | tions of the prize ring. He should have cele- brated his victory with a tremendous spree, then with a lavish scattering of his thousands. The saloons and disreputable places should have been enrighed at his expense. His hangers-on should have been suffered to live at his expense. He should have playfully punched the head of & defenseless man or two, and should have to “do” any man, He should, have professed will- living or dead ingness to meet all comers, but made the con- ditions such as to be virtually prohibitive. Had he done all this Sullivan's followers would have forgiven him and he might have been a “guod fellow.” But Corbett simply deter- | mined to get some of the immense sums that were being made out of the prize ring aud bas gone quietly on his way, attending to his buri- ness and, considering the provocations, saving very little. Nooueever did a mi thing than he did in giving his aid to Sullivan's bene- fit performance after the big fight, although be knew Sullivan's heart was full of hate toward him.

How the Work of Preparation ie Going on in the Committees. Col. Wm. Dickson, the chairman of the com- mittee on civic organizations, has received a letter from Grand Marshal Martin T. MeMahon of the inaugural parade stating that Mr. Rich- ard Croker of Tammany Hall, who was to have led the New York division in the parade, will be unable to be present. He suggests in his stead ‘Mr. Thomas 3. Brennan, commissioner of street cleaning in New York cit; Gen. MeMahon also says in his letter: “If New Jersey will constitute a division and you have no one else in view for the position, I would as marshal Maj. George B. Fielder of Jersey City. He is now the register of his county and a member-elect of Congress, He wasa soldier and served through the war, and is a man thoroughly fitted for the place.” A meeting of the executive committee was called for yesterday to consider recommend tions to be submitted by the committee on banquet at the ball, but owing to the inability of Chairman Rosa of the banquet committee to be present no business was transacted. TWO PLANS OF CONCERTS PROPOSED. At a meeting last evening of the subcommit- tee on promenade concert, J. Nota McGill, chairman, the question of giving one or more concerts was discussed. One membersntated it was understood that Mra, Cleveland was op- posed to the giving of a sacred concert on Sun- day, and this statement resulted in the commit- tee tive committeo. ‘The first provides for two sacred concerts on Sunday afternoon and even- ing, and three concerts on Monday morn- ing, afternoon and evening. The other plan is ding to submit two plans to the execu- for'three concerts on Monday and two on Tues- day. It was also decided to recommend that the orphans of the city be given an opportunity to inspect the ball room after being decorated when not occupied. The committee on ball room illumination, James L. Barbour, chairman, and W. F. Hart, secretary, organized last evening. A subcom- mittee of nine was appointed, consisting of A. Thomas, chairman; W.'F. Hart, T. Noonan, Robert Boyd, J. F. Barbour, Levi Woodbury, Gen. 8. 8. Burdette, Char’es ‘Baum and Edward Caverly, who consulted the sub- committee on decorations at the ball room. The subcommittee reported back in favor of general illumination of electric light and gas the approaches of arc lights and the interior of the ball room incandescent lightsand gas. The subcommittee on decorations and illumination will meet Saturday morning to determine on an estimate of the cost. The subcommittee on colored organizations of the committee on public comfort met last evening with John A. Gray, chairman, Mr. M. I Weller, chairman of the ‘full committee, e: plained to the meeting that the colored com- mittee would be allowed a paid inspector and messenger boys and that they would be ex- pected to look after the comfort of visiting col- ored organizations. DISTINGUISHING COLORS. ‘The following colors have been decided on by Dominick I. Murphy, chairman of the com- mittee on badges, to distinguish the different committees: General, white; executive, royal purple; finance, old gold; ball tickets and in- vitations, violet; reception, white; military or-| ganizations, red. white and blue; civic, navy | blue; transportation, light blue;’ public com- fort, garnet; carriages, dark brown; public order, peacock blue; press, lavender; floor and Promenade, rose; ball ‘tickets distribution, terra cotta; ball room decorations, heliotrope; ball room illumination, silver: street illumina- tion and fireworks, scarlet; street decoration brown; banqt parks, reservations and_ privilege promenade concert, light orange; ball room music, turquoise; com- fort at bali room, nile green; safety at ball room, tan; printing, light brown; auditing, bronze.

A MAP OF THE crvy. The committee on public comfort at the in- auguration have had prepared a handsome and complete map of the city for free distribution by the thousand during the days when the crowds will be here. In the upper cor- ners of the map are portraits of Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Stevenson and in an- other corner is printed the names of the executive committee and the officers of the general committee and of the committee on public comfort. The map is marked cff with cireles indicating distance in half miles from the patent office, and it is thought that it will be of great service to strangers in finding their way about town. e Alliance Guards of Alliance, Ohio, have notified Chairman Norris of their ‘intention to come on for the inauguration and ask to be ase signed to a place in line. ‘The subscription of $100 to the inauguration fund, acknowledged in yesterday's Star, shoul d have been credited to Mr. C.

W. L. Cash, the gas company’s inspector of lamps, toa Star reporter, “The gas is better today thanever before.but when the weather is as coldas ithas been here for the t three or four weeks it must have consid- erable effect upon the illuminating product even of « first-class plant. “The same trouble—freezing in the service Pipes—has worried the good people of other cities, and is worrying some of them till, for the conditions elsewhere have really been much woree than in Washington. We have done every- thing potsible to keep the lights up to their ordinarily high standard and have, I think, suc- ceeded admirably when the District inspector can only find nine lamps out of 5,600 on which to base a complaint. During the past two weeks the company has used fifty | gallons of alcohol daily in cutting out the frost from street lamps. that the gas ix not poor: or any other city ever had. — Real Estate Matters.

The Mississippi Jurist Suddenly Stricken Down, Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar, justice of the United States Supreme bench. died at Ma- con, Ga., at 8:50 o'clock last evening. His death was a great shock to the community. It was sudden in the extreme, for, although he has been ailing for some time, the justice ap- peared to be gradually gaining in health. He went from Washington to Macon about a month ago and had been visiting at the resi- dence of Mr. W. H. Virgin, in Vineville,s suburb of Macon. Yesterday afternoon at about 3 o'clock Justice Lamar took his overcoat, intending to go to the city, but he was met at the door by a friend, Dr. Llewellyn, with whom he returned to tl sitting room. At that time and during all the afternoon he was in good spirits, Jastice Lamar went into the city in the after- noon and called at the office of Col. R. E. Pardee, where he conversed pleasantly on several topics. He was accompanied by Dr. Llewellyn on his return to the residence of Mr. Virgin. At dinner at 6:30 last evening he seemed to have a good appetite. Dr. LI house about 8 o'clock, and @ the justice wes seized with violent pains in the heart, and died at the hour mentioned. The attack very severe while it lasted, and the physician, Dr. A. H. Parker, who had been in attendance, arrived only a few minutes before death. * At this time Justice Lamar was unconscious and beyond medical aid. Restora- tives were at once administered, but were on- ly without avail. He died with his head on Mr. Virgin's hands and apparently without pain, the spasm having passed off at that time. Bright's disease was the direct cause of Judge Lamar’s death. THE RECORD OF HIS LIVE. Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar, Secretary of the Interior in Mr. Cleveland’sadministration and afterward appointed to the Supreme Court bench by the Premdent, was born in Putnam county, Ga., September 17, 1825. Having com- pleted preparatury studies’ at Oxford, be red Emory College as a student and graduated in 1845, He then studied law two years and was admitted to the bar. In 1849 he removed to Oxford, Miss. having been chosen adjunct professor of mathematics at the State University. While there he also assisted Dr. Bledsoe to edit(the Southern Re- view. He subsequently returned to Georgia, making his residence at Covington, and re- sumed the practice of the law. Having spent four years in this way, in 1854he returned to Mississippi. Previously to this time he had served one | term in the Georgie legislature, the beginning | of his successful career as a statesman. He was elected to the Thirty-fifth Congress, also to the thirty-sixth, but resigned his seat when | Mississippi left the Union, and took a place in the secession convention of that state. Mr. Lamar entered the confederate army as alieutonant colonel of infantry and was pro- moted to be colonel, which rank he held until 1863, when he was sent to Russia by the oon- federate government, charged with an import- ant diplomatic mission. Upon the close of the war of the rebellion he | accepted the professorship of political economy | and social science at the State University of Mississippi, but was transferred to the profes- sorship of law at the same institution. While holding the latter position he was chosen a Representative to the Forty-third and Forty-fourth Congresses, and thenelected to the Senate to succeed Senator Alcorn, who retired March 3, 1377. He was re-elected to the Senate in 1882 for the six years’ term ending March 3, 1889. His congressional career won him much re- nown, which Mr. Cleveland recognized in his appointment toacabinet position in March, 1885, and then to the bench. The last years of his life were spent on the Supreme Court beach. He was ill for some time, and a movement was on foot to put him on the retired list by a special act of Congress as soon as Mr. Cleveland was inaugurated. When he was re-elected to Congress in 1874 he wax conceded the position of leader of the southern democracy, and he attracted univer- sal attention by a speech delivered in the House on the 27th of April, 1874, in eulogy of the late Charies Sumner. In the course of his address on that occasion he paid a high compliment to ‘Mr. Sumner's mental and moral qualities and appealed to the people of both sections to for- get all traces of the late conflict, take each other | by the band. let the heart go with its grasp and | join in advancing the greatness andglory of t great country, although he, himself, was the author of the Mississippi ordnance of secession. ——_+e.—____ Sam Jones’ Lecture. large audience at Metzerott’s Hall laughed and smiled and at times looked sober as they listened to the wit and wisdom of Rev. Sam Jones. His incisive style is one thing, but his humor after all is the feature of his talk that interests and attracts, He haaa way of dealing | mensely, and of course he had something to | say about dudes. He manages to mingle with his fun some words of wisdom and advice that | are intended for young men to take a hold when in the waves of temptation.

The cause of the change is unexplained. <a Tried to Kill His Wife. A young colored man named Albert Young was in Judge Miller's court today on a charge of assault with intent to kill his wife, Lizzie Young, and the case was continued indefinitely to await the result of the injuries. Young lives at No. 1315 5th street northwest, and about a week ago they had some trouble, The wife moved out the household effects, and then they had some words, The hus- band, it is alleged, struck the wife and on ac- count of her delicate condition she bas been ill ever since the trouble occurred, He denies that he struck her. to jail in default of bail. —_—_——_————__ He was sent 7 Wurs csting recomes troutie some, digestion defective, sleeping ‘an impossibiiity, appetite ceases, take JOHANN HOFFS MALT 'EX- TRACT.

This organization is known as the Grand Harbor of the American Brotherhood of Steamboat Pilots, and of the twenty-nine local bodies all but three were rep- resented at the meeting of the grand body today. In addition to benevolent features this organization has in view the advancement of their profession. They want to be represented on the board of United States steamboat inspectors and they want to have the rules which aro gotten out relative to the licensing of pilots not opl: drawn with the care and knowledge witeh comes from practical experience, but also they want them enforced so that licenses will not be ed to men who don't know the difference between a binnacle and a belaying pin. In fact, anything that will tend to improve their calling meets with the hearty approval of this organization and its co-opera- ion. The organization, as is appropriate, is mod- eled ona nautical basis. Instead of prosaic- ically calling this the seventh armual conven- tion it is called the “seventh annual voyage.” The main body is known ‘the Grand Harbor — and the subordinate bodies as ‘“‘harbors,” while the officers have an attractive set of titles that have a roll about them which is cuggestive of the motion of a vessel and with the breeziness of a fresh wind.

Perhaps there is not a coal famine, but there is a marked scarcity of that article. It is prob- able that avery little more of the current freeze would make this scarcity popularly felt. During a normal state of trade Washington receives via rail about seventy carloads of coal per day. Dur. ing the past month she has been receiving about twenty-five. A good deal of coal intended for Washington, it is said, has been stopped at Phila- delphi. Between thirty and forty of the smal dealers have been buying theireupply from the big coal men of the District since the early part | of January. They have, it is said, been paving full retail prices in order to retain their trade. Several of the large dealgrs along the river front now refuse to sell to other dealera. Th stock is low in the river-front yards of Geor; L. Sheriff, Stephenson & Bro., John T. Givens, | Johnson ‘Brothers and the American Ice and Coal Company. The supply of furnace and Cumberland coals is at a very low ebb. ‘Trouble in the coa! trade is feared in March. The encampment they say paralyzed trade for two months. About the 25th of Febra- ary the railroads will issue notice that they will deliver no freight till about the 10th of March. This means, the dealers say, that they will deliver ‘no freight till about the first of April. The city’s winter supply of coal which, ‘with a urual season, would bave lasted till the first of May will, in consequence of the rigorous winter, run sbort about the first of March. Here the trouble is expected to come in. As soon as navigation is open extra exertions will be made to get in heavy consignments | of St. George's creek, Consolidation and Read- ing coal. The American Ice and Coal Com- pany have about one hundred carloads which ought soon to be delivered, and Lohn T. Given has several hundred tons of Reading aboard barges now lying at Chesapeake City. ———_ Drew His Pistol on the Dog. Tudge Miller bad a variety of cases to hear in the Police Court today. In one case a young man named Charles Mills wasdefendant and Charles E. Barber, the patent attorney, was the witness against him. The charge was concealed weapons, and the de- fendant admitted that he had the pistol. It appeared that Mr. Mills was walking along j the street with a young Indy and they met Bar- | ber. ‘The latter wanted the Indy to go with | him, but Mr. Mills politely told Barber that he was at tnat time acting as the young lady's cs- cort himself. The young lady, it was stated, was satisfied to go with ‘ir, Mills, and the latter ebarged that Barber set his dog on him, ‘That was why he drew the pistol. Judge Miller continued the case for sentence | and took Mr. Mills’ personal bonds. pags 5 Threatened His Brother's Life. Frank M. Hall, a young man who threatened his brother's life, was tried in the Police Court today.

This caught fire and the scene (ben | was awful. The door did not afford sufficient egress for the mass of people and large num- bers were roasted alive. Altogether 1,000 lives were lost, including | those burned in the theater. The neighbor- hood was literally strewn with bodies. The | charitable societies of Canton and other cities sent 1,000 coffins to give decent burial to the unfortunates. The village suffered heavily, as nearly $00 houses were burned.
