LOCAL AMATEUR BASE BALL. Organization of the League of the District of Columbia. ‘The formal organization of the Amateur Base Ball League of the District occurred at the Columbia Athletic Club last night, Howard Perry presided, with W. A. Wells acting as secretary. There were representatives in at- tendance from the Columbia Athletic Club, Young Men's Christian Association, Washing- ton Athletic Ciub, government printing offic bureau of printing and engraving, Young Men’ Catholic Club and the Ideals. ‘The temporary officers were made permanent and John H. Roche and E.C. Quackenbush were elected members of the board of control. The third member will be elected at the meeting to be held April 20 to act on the report of the sched- ule committee. It was decided that the league should consist of six clubs. This made it necessary to refuse the application of one club and the Ideals were the ones to suffer. ‘The league was completed by the admission of the government printing office team. A schedule committee, consisting of M.. T. O'Leary, C. E. McClure, C. H. Casavant, E. Richards, Harry Sanford and T. M. Ring was appointed to arrange a schedule to consist of two games between each club. The payment of the guarantee money and the furnishing of the list of players wili be done at the April meeting. KILLEN FOR FARRELL, The Latest Deal by Mr. Wagner of the Local Ciub. President Wagner of the Washington club has completed a deal with Pittsburg whereby Pitcher Killen is given in exchange for Charley Farrell. It is said that Farrell will belused be- hind the bat. As he is reported to havo said | that he will not go benind the bat it is hard to | see what Washington makes by the transac- tion. The first gamo of the Baltimore-Charieston series will be called this afternoon. Wadsworth, Smith and Baker will each be given a showing in the box, and Clarke and Robinson will do the catching for the visitors. Charleston's strongest battery—Colcoleugh and Snyder— Will look after the interests of the team. Compelied to forezo its Hot Springs trip be- cause of unavailable grounds, the Cleveland management had decided not to take any pre- liminary trip this year. Yesterday, however, a good opportunity offered to go south, and the elub will leave for Atlmia on Saturday night. All the members of the team have signed ex- cept Clarkson and Virtue, and both of ikem have been ordered to report at Atlanta. The Clevelands wiil play southern league clabs, and possibly Anson's Colts beiore they return. Manager Barnie reached Louisville yesterday afternoon and expects to secure the signatures of both Bassett and Jennings this week. The men have been ordered to report April 1. The Pittsburg Club played the Augustas a beautiful game for seven innings yesterday, neither side scoring. ‘Ihe Augustas then put a fielder in the box and Pittsburg scored six runs. ‘The score at the end of the game stood 6 to 0 in Pittsburg’s favor. Yesterday's game was 18 to 6 in favor of Pittsburg. President Young has reappointed Lynch um- pire and will appoint Ed. Seward, ex-pitcher, to a similar position. Pat Powers, the president of the Eastern League, reached Wilkesbarre last night. will confer with the base ball enthusiasts | view of having Wilkesbarre represented in the | Eastern League. ‘The feeling is decidedly in favor of Powers’ scheme.

They leave the hotel at 10:30 in | the morning and walk out to the park. Once | | there they play ball until 1 p.m. and then run | back to the hotel, a spin of about a mile and | abalf. They return to the park at 3 p.m, and | practice until 5. Harry Wright f the Phillies was seen at the grounds yesterday, and when asked if he had signed any players’ replied that ali the men would be in iine by April 1 and that they would be annoanced as soon as signed. Who will play first base for the team has not, as yet, been de- cided. Walter Plock, who played ‘with the | Phillies a couple of years ago and was with the | New Orleans Club ‘last year, will be given a | trial. Mr. Wright has great ‘confidence in his | abilities and thinks he is a promising player, Opening the Tennis Season. ‘The tennis tournament at Tampa Bay, Fla., opened yesterday morning with « wind un- favorable for playing. In drawing for places the following gentlemen were entered: H. V. | Jones, Robert D. Wrenn, C. E. Garrett, C. Grinstead, W. C. Morrow, T. H. Cooke, H. | Avery, Mr. Talmadge, H. M. Billings, D. D. Fitzgerald, F. P. Gillette and Ciarenee Hobart. | ‘They met and drew as follows: Jones and renn drew a bye, as did Gillett and Hobart. ‘They yere thus advanced into first round with- out having to compete. In this round they met today with the following result: Wrenn defeated Jones, 1-6, 6-4, 6-4; Hobart defeated Gillett. 6-1, 6-5. ‘Grinstead, Cooke, nage and Billings beat Garrett, Morrow, ry and Fitzgeraid in well-contested games, In the afternoon there was no playing on ac- count of rain.

Charles Mitchell will accompany the body of his late backer, “Squire Abingdon,” to Eng- land. “Iam very sorry that I have to leave here tomorrow,” Mitchell said Inst night. “I will positively return to America nextSeptember. I will not do any training while in England. I will prepare myself for my fight with Corbett near by the club wherein we are to meet.” “Have you made any arrangements regarding your $10,000 stake money?” “No,” was Mitchell's reply, “but I will do so at once.” The Englishman then went to » telegraph office and sent the following message to Blanchard, the stakehoider: +The $10,000 stake money to bind my end of my coming fight with Corbett belongs to me. in accordance with the last wishes of "Squire Ab- ingdon.

Strong drink was the only excuse given for the appearance of s majority of the prisoners who appeared in the Police Court this morning on charges of violating the District ordinances in various parts of the city. There were twen- ty-six prisoners in all and about one-half of them were in the first procession in Judge Kim- ball’s court, “I plead guilty'for him,” said Lawyer Moss when John Ray was called. Jobn isa young man who was arrested near his home on complaint of his mother, The latter was lying under a wagon. She had fainted, and her son, who was under the in- fluence of bad liquor, was standing over her swearing. Mr. Moss reminded the court that he had plead guilty, when the mother insisted on being beard. “But,” added the court, “I want to see how guilty he is.” “T have had trouble with my boy,” said the mother, “ever since he got married.” She also told of his abusive language and referred to his previous arrest, “When he was here last did you have him arrested?” asked the court. i the mother replied. ‘St. Patrick's day.” ‘Aman who curses his “mother,” said the judge, “‘ought not to get off with the lowest fine. ‘Ten dollars."” “RZD BILL” AND BIS PaLs. “Herring Hill,” in Georgetown, was well represented in the next case. John Jackson, better known as “Red Bill,” the reputed leader of a gang of colored lawbrenkere, and two of his compamions, Charles Boss and Isaiah Brooks, were charged with having disturbed a religions congregation, “Red Bill,” who recently returned from the west, wore good clothes and presented the ap- pearance of aman who belonged in better so- ciety. : “He was snoring so loud that he disturbed the service,” was the complaint of one of the church people. Following this the officers said that the crowd was disorderly, and each vf | them was fined 85. “This man has kept sober for a long time,” said Lawyer Foster, “but Saturday he fell through.”” “And judging from his looks,” added the judge, “he feli through very badly.” ‘The man about whom the remarks were made was Wyatt Cardwell, but he was charged under the name of John Cardwell. His face was badly scarred and he showed evidences of having been ona protracted spree. Cardwell isa great grandson of Patrick Henry and he was clerk of the confederate senate, Several years ago he appeared in court at frequent intervals, but it has been three or four years since his last appearance, He promised to return to Richmond if re- leased, and the judge told him that he would be released when he satisfied the court that he would go to Richmond. GOT TRUSTED FOR A WERK. Edward Barber and James Fields, colored men, arraigned for disorderly conduct, plead guilty and were fined the usual amount ” said one of the men, “‘will you trust me for a week?” “Ave you working?” “Yes, wir.” An officer vouched for him and he was given the time asked. “How about you?” the other man was asked. He aiso satistied the John G. Stanley, a young man arrested here several days ago and released to return to his home in Baltimore, failed toreturn there and he was sent down for seventy-five days. palatine A PEOPLE EGLECT. The Stately Monument to Lincoln at Spring- field, Il, Falling to Decay. The Chicago Evening Journal, in a three- column article on the condition of the Lincoin monument at Springfield, IIL, says in part: “Abraham Lincoln's tomb at Springfield has fallen from its high place as the shrine of a mighty nation, The spot where rests the earthly tenements of one of the greatest men in American history is fast failing into decay, and the stately monument erected at the capital of Ulinois to commemorate the love of a people is scarred and mutilated from the attacks of vandalistic relic hunters, The man whose courage, patriotism and invincible faith in the right enabled him to reunite thedismembered United States and to give freedom to 4,000,000 slaves now lies under the tottering walls of towering mausoleum whose stately halls a filled with rubbish, sometimes called ‘relics, and which are exhibited in true dime museum style by a custodian at 25 cents a head. “How long will the pride of the American People permit wuch a condition of affairs to exist? If there is any one spot in the nation which should be esteemed holy ground and jealously guarded from profanation surely it should be the spot where rests the great emancipator, And yet. although the abuses which now exist and fill the hearts of patriotic visitors with mortification and rage have been apparent since the monument was completed nineteen years ago, not a move has been made nor an intention manifested on the part of those in control to rectify them. To the credit of the state of Illinois, and especially to the honor of Chicago, this desecration of President Lincoln's grave has roused one of its citizens. Charles L. Hammond has set the ball rolling in the shape of a petition, which will be presented to this general assembly, requesting it to take such measures as will result in the completion of repair and proper maintenance of the mon- ument.” ——___+e+____ CLEVER COUNTERFEITING.

The appeal for mercy was made on the score of his youth, lack of moral training | and alleged influence of others, which induced him to commit the crime.

It was the first session of the board of par- dons at which the governor presided. Out of thirty cases considered only four were decided favorable to the applicants. —_+e-___ WAR, WAR. Statement of Germany’s Next Plan of Cam- paign Agreed on bythe Triple Alliance. From the New York Sun. ‘The plan for the concentration of the Ger- man army, or rather the armies of the triple alliance, appears now in the Figaro, and that lively Parisian sheet boldly threatens to give more precise details and prove conclusively every one of its statements if the official press of Germany should question its allegations. But even if it should all turn ont to be un- founded, they point with tolerable clearness to certain probabilities which will be inter- esting to the large number of people who be- lieve that war must soon break out in Europe. In 1880, says the Figaro, the plan for concen- tration prepared by Von Moltke only left three army corps at the disposition of Gen. Liumen- thal, who was charged with the duty of watch- ing the movements of the Russian army. It was then believed in Berlin that the czar would confine himself toa mild intervention, and that atallevents the mobilization of the Russian army would be slow enough to permit the Ger- mans to complete the formation of their reserve forces, In the month of October, 1891, the cabinets of Rome and Vienna asked the German govern- ment for complete details, ‘The Austrian gov- ernment demanded the co-operation of six Pruesian army corps in case of war. Negotia- tions were carried on tediously. In December two staff officers of the Austrian army ap- peared st Berlin, and on ‘the 16th of January i an agreement was reached between the three governments. According to the terms of this agreement Germany, in the event of war, will concentrate upon the western frontier tree armies, com- Posed of nine army corps and the guard, two varian corps and the Wurtemburg division. Seven army corps, four divisions of cavalry and four reserve corps, whose formation upon s war footing will not take more than three weeks, will operate against Russia, The army of the north, or, in other words, the right wing of the German army, will be formed by the aid of the seventh and tenth army corps and the Prussian guard. These troops will be stationed between Dusseldorf and Aix-la-Chapelle, with the exception ot the ment of artillery of the guard, which will sent to Metz to contribute to the formation of the first park of siege artillery. ‘The guard before leaving Berlin and its en- vironments will wait for its reserve regiments, which will come from Konigsberg and Han- over, and forma junction en route with the regiments coming from Cassel, Coblentz and Dusseldorf. ‘The seventh corps will give four of ite cavalry regiments to the first division and will receive in exchange « regiment of cavalry of the reserve, The artillery regiment will remain at Cologne, where the guard, after the fifth day of the mobilization, will establish ite headquarters, ‘The tenth’ corps, from Hanover, will take up a position between Cre- feld and Wesel. The army of the center, com- poeed of the fourth, eighth and eleventh corps, will have for ite objective point the Ardennes, and it is easy to see that by tl sixth day of the mobilization it will be able to reach the line from Treves to Cologne. It will be accompanied by a division of cavalry, and it is more than probable that the cavalry regi- ments joined to the divisions of infantry must soon be reinforced by tho regiments of reserve, and in this way one or two more divisions of cavalry may be formed, ‘On the express demand of the Italian gov- ernment, the left wing will be far stronger numerically, and will be composed at the very commencement of hostilities of the third, four- teenth, fifteenth and sixteenth army corps and the first Bavarian corps, destined to operate against the French forces between the Moselle and the Arden The second Ba- varian corps and the Wurtemburgers are to make a strong diversion toward Switzerland, and they will be supported, in at least three daye after the declaration of ‘war, by four army corps of the reserve. ‘The German staff esti- mates that under these circufnstances the Italianarmy will have to contend at most against the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth French army corps. All the Prussian army corps will be in three divisions, like the eleventh corps, which in- cludes, in addition to the twenty-first and twenty-second divisions of infantry, the Hes- sian division. All three divisions are organ- ized by means of the reserve battalions of the landwebr, As to the eleventh and sixteonth corps, which are stationed in Aisace-Lorraine, they are at Pretent reinforced by nine battalions of light infantry, two regiments of Bavarian infantry, considerable detachments trom all the acces sory services and one entire regiment of artil- lery, one half Prussian and the other Bavarian, destined to become the second park of sicge artillery, which it is intended to transport to the other side of the Vosges immediately after the first victory. According to the plan of concentration drawn up by Marshal von Moltke, the Prussian guard was to be transported directly from Berlin to Coblentz and thence to Treves and Metz; but this has since been modified by common accord between Caprivi, Waldersee and the military representatives of Austria and Italy, and ac- cording to this modification the guard will be sent to Dusseldorf, passing through Magde- burg. In Alsace the fifteenth corps wil not be oc- cupied with the defense of the defiles of the Vosges. ‘T'bis will be confided to the battalions already caserned between Mulhouse, Colmar, Schlestadt and Saverne. Almost all the efforts of the German army will be coutined to the operations of ‘its two wings, advancing toward Belyiam and the valley’ of the Oise, the old imperial route, and toward Switzerland and the gap of Belfort, the Pome of Jametion beiween’ the German’ and tating armies, As for tue concentration of the Prussian army on the eastern frontier it is only neces- sary, in order to get a clear idea of its future phases, to follow upon the map the movements Of the troops during the past two years, a NOT UP TO DATE, That is What is Said of Some of the School Books. Is it no; a little singular, an engineer asks the Providence Journal, that the text books of our schools continue year after year to inform the pupil all about surveyors’ measures, the four- rod chain divided into 100 lipks, 80 as to make @ decimal system, thus inferring that it is the kind of measure used by surveyors at the present time? ‘The tezt book does not inform the pupil that such was tho surveyor's practice years ago, and that it is well for the pupil to know it, but that surveyors of the present date do not use the same system now.

BRIGGS SPEAKS Of the Inspiration of the Bible to the Sunday School Workers. Prof. Charles A. Briggs, D. D., of the Union Theological Seminary, New York, whose heresy case is to be considered by the general assem- bly which meets in this city in May, delivered an address before the Brooklyn Sunday School Union on Monday. His theme was “The Living Power of the Holy Scriptures.” He said in part ‘The Holy Scriptures are a divine power for the spirits of men, for Christ said, ‘The words I speak to you are the spirit.’ There is a power in the Holy Scriptures that is adapted to the spirit of man. It comes from the spirit of God inspired with spiritual truth. It also comes through the sacred penmen, who were spiritual, and they have communicated to the Holy Scriptures the power they possessed. They ap- led to the spirit, and all trath is spiritual, eir words came from human lips, but all speech 18 spiritual.for, as man is the only living animal endowed with’ speech, he is thus allied to the Holy Being Himself. ‘The great thinkers of the world have given us many spiritual fraths, but the word of God vastly transcends they have said. Compare the great poe’ and writers with the Scriptures and who Will venture to say that such spirituality and excel- lence is to be found in their writings? In the study of the Holy Scriptures we are brought to God, the author of the Holy Scriptures, for it was tho Holy Spirit who originated the thoughts of the Holy Scriptures in the minds of the holy Tn the study of the Holy Scriptures we find a spiritual energy greater than the men that wrote them, as it comes from the spirit of God and permeates the heart of man. THE TEMPORAL AND ETERNAL. “One other quality of the Holy Scriptures is that they contain the word of God everlasting, that abides forever. I don't say that all the words of the Holy Scriptures are everlasting. Many of the precepts and promises were for the time and the occasion, so tliat much of the Old ‘Testament has lost its value for usof today. Even some of the precepts of the New Testament were made for them to whom they were ad- dressed, so that we have to distinguish between the temporal and the eternal, for there are words in the Holy Scripture that will stand ever. and until the milleanium keep these words in your hearts and in your memories to use in the crises of your lives. Now, I have en-| deavored to set before the Brooklyn Sunday School Union some of the characteristics of the Holy Scripture. We are privileged to use it | for ourselves, but it 1s a far greater privilege to be able to use it for others, to teach it to the young, and the time will come when the teach- ing force and the Christian pulpit will be in- acequate to the teaching and the preaching of the gospel to all nations.” | “Rerius: the premises, Lot 4 19 10-100 fees of apa Founs, beth, water and a!
