The Spectators at Yesterday's Game Much Pleased With the Local Team. Brooklyn's pitchers have not yet got into con- dition and the Washingtons yesterday benefited by it, Haddock and Lovett pitched for the first time this season and as they had no speed were unmercifully hammered. Nineteen hits, including two doubles and a triple, were made before the Bridegrooms sadly made their way back to their hotels. Such an opportunity as the Senators had wil! not come every day and the local men did well to fatten their averages. Manager Foutz says that he will have in today a | man who will not be pounded so easily—Stein. | The Washingtons will put in Esper, very likely, and a much closer contest than yesterday's can be expected. If it was never realized before it was yester- day that the Washington mt bad made s ten-strike in getting Charley Farrell. With him behind the bat the whole team is given s liveliness that has been sadly lacking in to” good fielding’ teams bere, ead, plodding 0 teams here, A players, who have gone about thei work as though they were sawing wood for their din- ner. But the home team yesterday played as if they really enjoyed it. They took their places in the field after their inning on a run— always an agreeable sight to those watching the game—and they moved around, backing one another up, as if they took an interest in the | game. It is true that yesterday was “pay day”—but perish the thought! Owing to Farrell's quick and accurate throw- ing only one Brooklynite succeeded in stealing abase. They were cut off so sharply at sec- ond that after a few had died there y gave up trying. Mulvey’s two errors were on diffi- cult chances. In one case, after juggling the ball, he threw it in time,fbut threw wild. Maut's error was a high throw to second, trying to catch Griffin, who took third. It was costly, for Griffin afterward scored on a fiy-out. The visitors’ other run was in the seventh, on two doubles and a single coming in succession. Only the sharpest fielding prevented more runs at the time. Score: WASHINGTON. | BROOKLYN. RHOAE RH O.A.

Boston is strong in all departments, but par- ticularly in team work, and it will be a good TERRIBLY INCREASING. At no time in the history of New York cjty have there been so many deaths from pneufhonia as now. The official figures show that nearly twice as many deaths from this cause are occurring than for the last five years. This is something terrible. Dr. John T. Nagle, registrar of vital statistics, Says that this increase is due to the influence of grip. He says that grip may be called epidemic just now and that in the majority of cases grip 1s a vital, contributing cause to pneumonia and all dangerous pulmonary troubles. At this time of the year when we are changing over from winter to spring. there is always a low order of vitality; a reaction from the strains of the season. The blood does not flow so full nor rapidly; the strength isles. For this reason grip has a much better chance than at any other season. ‘This is a time of year waen people need to be careful and too much importance cannot be placed upon keeping the blood warm and in circulation. You must bring about a reaction if you wish to avoid the pain and dangers of these troubles in time.

Splendid weather, a fair track and the largest attendance of the meeting marked the begin- ning of the second week of the spring meeting of the Washington Jockey Club at the Benning track yesterday. Nineteen bookmakers did business on the local events and three on the Elizabeth and Gloucester races. Betting was more brisk than on any preceding day, and as three favorites and one second choice won the talent rather got the best of the ring. Appomattox, with 120 pounds up, won the first race, for two-year-olds, demonstrating that heisabout the best of his ageat the track. The last race was a steeplechase over the full course, and Can Can, carrying 165 pounds, the top weight, fully justified the confidence placed in her, winning, pulling up from Return, who lasted Just long enough to beat Ecarto a short head for the pluce.

First Annual Clay Pigeon Shoot Soon to Be Held. Capt. George 8. Atwater of the Glen Echo Gun Club has returned to the city with abund- ant assurances of the presence of crack marks- men at the coming clay pigeon shoot of the club at its Glen Echo range. Teams from Baltimore, Wilmington, New York, Philadelphia and Knox- ville, three ‘from this city and_one from the suburban places of Rockville, Tekoma Park and vicinity will participate in the team match. The tournament will begin the 18th and continue three dave. Fifty prizes have been offered by local merchants, and will be exhibited shortly in Mertz’s windows. first day of the shoot will be de- voted principally to local men, the other days to experts from other cities. Quarters hava been secured for the visitors at Cabin John bridge, whero they will remain during the shoot, which promises to be the best of the kind ever seen in this locality. Between 15,000 and 20,000 clay pigeons will be shot and some of the best men in the country are expected. The Glen Echo Gun Club is a young organi- zation and this will be its first annual shoot. A very picturesque club house has been built on the banks of the Potomac at Glen Echo, con- venient to the electric cars and not far from the terminus of the railway. The range has been so constructed that the pigeons’ fight will be brought in _ relief against the sky. There will be no background. An awning will be built over the shooters’ stand so that the tournament can go on regardless of the weather. The club holds weekly shoots on Wednesdays. Its officers are: Edward Baltzley, president; Alexander Elliott, vice president; P. T. Hall, treasurer; Orton Hyde, secretary, and Geo. S. Atwater, captain. Yale's Law School Nine vs. Georgetown. Those who witnessed the base ball contest between the teams of Georgetown College and Harvard, in which the local nine won in as good an amateur game of ball as one could care to see, will not be likely to miss the opportunity to see the Yale Law School team do battle with the Georgetown collegians tomorrow after- noon. The game will be played at the grounds of the ¥. M. C. A., at the corner of 17th and U streets, which can’ be reached by the herdic line on 15th street or by the 14th strect cable line and electric carson U street. The Yale team has aclear record of winnings, but the Georgetowns have hopes of lowering the blue colors, and atleast a fine game may be an- ticipated. It was only through a great effort that Man- ager Nast obteined this game, as Yale is making the entire trip from New Haven simply to play this match. “A very large guarantee had to be made and the management rely on the public to uphold their attempts to have the best teams Play here. In order that every ono may se ihe entire game it will not be called until 4:20 p.m. If tomorrow is rainy the game will take place Thursday, The battery order of Yale is as follows: Reddington, 2b.; Bowers. p.; O'Neil, 1b.; Murphy, c.f.; Parsons, Lf.; Farrell, ¢.!

Rome, April 30, 1893.—A rumor to the effect that Cardinal Gibbons is likely to be Leo XIII's successor has caused considerable amazement here, and doubtless Cardinal Gibbons himself will have been as much surprised by the report as his Roman friends. Never has there been any talk here of Cardinal Gibbons for the crushing task of conducting the church. The next pope will in all likelihood be an Italian. The only non-Italian who would havo had serious hopes of succeeding the present pontiff was the Iate Cardinal Lavigerie. Galimberti and Cardinal Kopp have been mei tioned as papabiii, but neither has chance, although the former may, in eventualities, become the papal secretary state. The choice of Mgr. Kain of Wheeling for the St. Louis archbishopric seems certain, but it has still tobe confirmed. Mgr. Kein has from the first been sympathetic to Mgr. Sa- tolli, Mgr. Chappelle, condjutor archbishop of Santa Fe, has been made archbishop. ‘The | Cardinal | | i MR. SMITH’S BOARDERS. An Unproductive Day in the Weather Bureau Investigation. AN INTIMATION THAT CHIEF CLERK SMITH ‘MIGHT HAVE BEEN PAID TOO MUCH FOR BOARD- ING FORECAST OFFICIALS—WITNESSES &X- AMINED BY M'LAUGHLIN—THE CHARGE OF FAVORITISM, The long-drawn-out investigatioh of the affairs of the weather bureau was continued yesterday afternoon at the Agricultural Depart- ment. The session lasted for a couple of hours, but failed to bring out anything sensational or particularly interesting. Mr. J. B. McLaughlin, whose letter first started the investigation, was on the stand for awhile, but about the most important matter he dealt with in his story was the price of board in Washington. He was of the opinion that $1.50 per day was an ex- cessive price, and that it was indiscreet for the chief clerk of the bureau to take for boarders forecast officials who were in Washington for a couple of months on special duty at the weather bureau. HAT MR. M’LAUGHLIN WANTED TO SHOW. The first witnoss called to the stand was Mr. H. E. Smith, the chief clerk in the weather bureau. Mr. McLaughlin acted as the ex- aminer and started to ply the witness with questions relative to a visit on the part of some local forecast men to Washington and the alleged efforts of the witness to have one or more of them come to board with him. Mr. Perry, for Mr. Harrington, entered a protest to the form of the questions and their purport, and Gen. Colby spent some little time in trying to find out what McLaughlin was driving at. The latter evidently had a number of written ques- tions that he desired to put. In answer to Mr. Perry Gen. Colby said that he had learned from Mr. McLaughlin that some of these officials went to board with Smith and that the government was forced to pay more than a proper amount, a rebate being given, and that Mr. Harrington was cognizant of the situation. Mr. Perry objected on the ground that there was nothing said about all this in McLaughlin's letter, and Gen. Colby said he would ask them himself, with the understand- ing that the testimony might not necessarily go into the evidence, but he desired to get it all cleared up at once. CHIEF CLERK SMITH’S TESTIMONY. In answer to Gen. Colby the witness said that one of the forecast officials had boarded with him, but he refused to state what the price of board was, inasmuch as it was a private trans- action and he had no reason to know that the board was paid, by the government. Finally he said that he had charged a Mr. Bassler a dol- lar a day, which he considered only a fair price for transient board. There was no rebate given to Mr. Bassler nor to any of the others. Mr. Smith was very emphatic about this point. He did not know whether the same allowances for expenses were made to the oificials when they were staying elsewhere. Mr. McLaughlin made a statement at this point to the effect that it was not customary for the government to pay board for the forecast officials when they remained so long a time at one post, and that this was an exceptional case provided for after they went to board with the witneos. Gen. Colby objected to this on the ground that the statement was evidence, if anything, and could not be properly admitted unless McLaughlin was under oath. In cross-exatnination by Mr. Perry Mr. Smith said that he was in the habit of taking board- ers, but they were not confined to forecast officials, Asa rule, more was charged for tran- sient than permanent board, but never had any rebate been paid; of this he was certain, WHAT MR. M'ADIE HEARD. Alexander McAdie, a clerk in the weather bureau, was asked if he was present on the occasion of an interview between McLaughlin and Mr. Harrington when the former made a protest about the matter of board, but stated that he remembered no such interview. He was asked by McLaughlin if he remembered a conversation between McLaughlin and Mr. Har- rington in which he spoke of young Townsend's past record as a protest against Townsend's re- appointment, but of this also the witness said he remembered nothing. He did not remem- ber a conversation between Capt. Townsend and Chief Harrington, in which the former spoke of his son as being addicted to the liquor habit, and suggested his taking the gold cure. It was a private conversation, and he paid no particular attention to it at the time. Witness said that he had heard rumors against Townsend as to his being drunk at Pike's Peak, but had not heard of his neglecting his duty. He did not know what the date of this was, but thought it may have been about Maren, ‘Mr. MeAdie was asked by Mr. McLaughlin if he remembered an occasion when Maj. Dun- woody found fault with the forecast work of H. H. Clayton at Boston. In answer to a ques- tion from Gen. Colby Mr. McLaughlin said that he desired to show it wns a case of favorit- ism shown to Clayton and that it was culled to the attention of Chief Harrington, but received no notice at his hands. ‘ou had better take the stand yourself now,” said Gen. Colby, “and give your own evidence as to these cases of so-called favorit- ism, so that we can know what you are driving = MR. M'LAUGHLIN COULDN'T NAME THEM. Mr. McLaughlin then began his story by stating that it was not usual to pay the board of forecast officials for an extended stay, but that in the case of Bassler and the others bills for 230.a month for board and $15 for room rent were presented. He declined to certify to them himself as chief clerk, as he thought the charges were excessive. He considered that $20 for board and $10 fora room would have been ample, and he called the matter to the attention of the chief of the bureau. The bills presented by Mrs. Smith and passed on by Mr. Smith were certified to by the chief, her brother-in-law. With reference to the Clayton incident, Mr. McLaughlin stated that Clayton was appointed forecaster at Boston without any previous ex- perience, and that his appointment was looked upon in the service as a case of favoritism on the part of Mr. Harrington. “Who considered it a case of favoritism?” asked Gen. Colby, sharply. “Who said any- thing of the sort? Unless you can namo one or more individuals who said anything of the sort you have no right to make any such statements, for there is no way of answering them.” “I think Mr. McAdie said it,” answered Mr. McLaughlin, “but I presume he has forgotten it.” ‘You have no right to say anything of that kind in that way.” Mr. Perry then took the witness in hand and asked him if in his March letter he had made any reference to the Clayton matter, “Tdi “By ne?” No, but by reference.”” “Mr. McLaughlin, in the questions you have suggested to Gen. Colby you imply that Bassler and the others drew the money from the gov- ernment to pay for their board, and that then they received a rebate from Mr. Smith. What authority have you for any such grave charges?” “I made no such charge,” said the witness, ‘This brought about a hvely colloquy between Mr. McLaughlin and Mr. Perry, in which the latter tried to get the witness to’ state what an- thority he had for making such charges, but he refused to say whom he had ever heard say that there was any reason for believing that rebates were being pnid. Vero there any other forecast officials board- ing at other places?” asked Mr, Perry. “There were.” hat did they pay for board?” “Presumably the same price.” “Then why did you lay such special stress upon the case of Mr. Smith?” “Because I did not consider it was proper for the chief clerk of the bureau to invite officials of the bureau to board with him. Mr. McAdio was then recalled and questioned further about the Clayton and Townsend inci- dents, but nothing of any particular moment was bronght out, either by Mr. McLaughlin or Mr. Perry. AUDITOR VAN AUKEN. Anditor Van Auken of the bureau was asked by Mr. McLaughlin about Capt. Stone's vouchers, but he replied that he had not had anything to do with the matter, as it was not his business. Ay to Miss Dant’s, work he de- clined to say whether it was that of a clork or laborer, as that was simply amatter of opinion. He did, however, go aiiead and outline just what her duties were. Her regular work Was the care of papers in the file, though when there was a pressure of work she was placed at other duties. Mr. Van Auken was asked about the matter The Best Proof | of the wonderful curative qualities of the Carlsbad Sprudel Salt is the fact that it is imitated. The genu- ine is without equal as an aperient for Chronic Constipation, Rheuma- tism, Dyspep: Liver and Kidney troubles, dc. Be sure and secure only the genuine. of board for the forecasters when temporarily ordered to duty in Washington. He said that when they firet came the understanding was that they should not be paid, but this was re- garded asa hardship, for it necessarily meant that they were keeping up practically two es- tablishments. Later an allowance was made for them, and they were all allowed $1.50 per day. This was not excessive, in his opinion, and of his own knowledge he knew that many of them had paid more than that out of their own pockets, MB. JOHNSON KNEW NOTHING. Mr. E. J. Johnson, a clerk of class 1, was next placed upon the stand and at Mr. Mc- Laughlin’s request the question was put: “What do you know about this matter of board for weather forecast officials?” “Nothing. “Thank you,” said Gen. Colby. “Take the witness.” But what questions could be put to a’man on & matter of which he admitted that he knew nothing even by such an interested party as Mr. McLaughlin or such an adroit lawyer as Mr. Perry?

Mrs. Mary McCarthy lives on B street south- west and her neighbors have had reason to com- plain of her conduet. She was noisy and had thrown house slops out the tront window, which created a nuisance calculated to spread cholera or some other disease, and this was the principal reason for the complaint. Policeman Bowie called to investigate the complaint yes- terday, and Mrs. McCarthy was not only bois- terous, but she emptied a slop jar out of the window, and luckily for the officer he was not directly beneath the window. Mrs. McCarthy was arrested and this morning she was ar- raigned in Judge Kimball's court on charges of disorderly confluct and creating a nuisance. On the latter charge the judge said she ought to pay a heavy penalty, but as this was her first appearance a fine of $5 was imposed in each cuse, > Jurors for the May Term.
