If this sortof ball playing keeps on much longer every one will have.to get a new cardiac apparatus. For nine innings yesterday it was nip and tuck between the “Spiders” and the fly—or rather the Senators, It was a very pretty song the spider sang, but the fly, in defiance of tradition, refused to enter his parlor and be buncoed. In fact the fat, wily old Spiders were hand- | somely walloped, and if they go weaving any more webs around here they're likely to get caught in them themselves. Contrary to custom the visitors started off in the lead and gained three runs before the home team scored. Then a pretty stern chase ensued. Step by step the local colts overhauled the selling platers from the buckeve state, and in the stret¢h drew away and won by a nose. The Clevelands secured one of ‘their three runs by a triple, followed by a single. But the other two they had no business with. Both reached first on balls, were helped along by a sacrifice and scored by Ewing’agsingle past Sullivan, ‘The locals bunched two hits in the sixth, which, with a base on balls and Hov’s long fly to center, gave them the only run they didn't get onerrors. The others were made by Visitors’ fumbles and wild throws. Score: ‘WASHINGTON. | ‘CLEVELAND. HOLE 3 1¢54 6" a 60 i? Tals 10 10 o 107 7716 5 by, Guppy. 1. feat,” Hog, 2.

A Characteristic Story of Booth Told by » ‘Washington Actor. A member of the Stock Comedy Company at the National Theater told a very characteristic story of Mr. Booth as indicative of his tender and helping nature. A young man had joined the company of Mr. Booth without the knowledge of his parents who were known to the eminent tragedian, He was playing subordinate parts and the salary that he received was only sufticient to pay his necessary expenses. After a rather disastrous season—it was the winter of 1879— the company disbanded. The young aspirant for stage honors was in an uncom- fortable predicament as he was without funds and was too proud to fall back on the aid of his parents. While he was pondering over his position and wondering what on earth he would do, Mr. Booth 1d by and recog- nising him, stopped. “Well, my young boy, what are you going to do’ “I don’t know. was the reply. paid “T have just my board bill and ouly’ have a couple of irs remaining.” ome along with mo,” said Mr. Booth. “I am going down the strect and you can tell me all about it.” They continued the walk and Mr. Booth asked his companion to with him which was at band. Mr. Booth stepped to the cashier's desk and had a check cashed, Aa they left Mr. Booth slipped something into the young man’s hand nd. patting him on the shoulder said: up, my boy, better times are coming, and perhaps this will help you until you find something to do, Don’t say anything to your parenft about thigg’ len the money was examined it w: ind to contain $250. This is only ofe of many similar -| cases in which Mr. Booth is known to have put his hand in his own pocket to aid a young member of his company who was in hard luck. ______ e+ —_____ ROBERT LINCOLN’S PERIL. Snatched by Mr. Booth From in Front of a Locomotive. Yesterday's New York Evening Post pub- lished the following as having been related by Mr. Booth: “In the summer of 1877 Mr. Booth was stand- noticed a gentleman standing pear him, ently with the same object, and saw that he seemed engrossed in his own meditations. Presently the gentleman stepped from the platform to a track and began walking upon it, entirely oblivious of his surroundings. Just at this moment an engine which had been getting water from a tank near at hand began backing up the track. Mr. Booth, turning around, saw it only when it was within a few feet of his absent-minded companion. On the im- pulse of the moment, without attempting to rouse the man to a seuse of his danger— there was not time for this—Mr. Booth stepped forward and, clutching him by the arm, lifted him almost’ bodily upon the plat- form. So ucur was the engine that it struck the man’s heels as they left the track. ‘The rescued gentleman was 80 overcome when he realized his danger that he could only bow his thanks and give his hand to his preserver. It happened that Mr. Ford, in whose theater at Washington President Lincoln was assassinated by Mr. Booth’s brother, witnessed the scene de- scribed above. Stepping forward, he said ex. citedly: “Mr. Booth, do you know who that man was? ‘No,"was the reply. ‘It was,’ said Mr, Ford, ‘Robert Lincoin, President Lincoln's * Mr. Booth afterward said that this act of ie gave him more satisfaction than could be represented in any other way. In relating this Mr. Booth mentioned the fact that the only vote which he ever cast was for Mr. Lincoln whe he Tan for President the second time.” Mr. John 7, Ford tays the above atory is es- sentially correct, except that the occurrence between March 1 and 8, 1876, and was pub- lished about ten years ago. It happened at Bowling Green, Ky.. or at a station between that place end Nashville, Teun. Mr. Ford had been traveling tirough the south with a com- any, at the head of which was Mr. Booth, and it was at the close of Mr. Booth’s engagement. Mr. Booth separated from the others near the Mammoth Cave and Mr. Ford returned with the company to Baltiniore, stopping on the way at Cumberland, where the Academy of Muxic was opened, Mr. Frederick Warde playing he lead- ing roles. ~. +00 LQOKING FOR A VOUDOO. A Colored Man’s Strange Suspicious About His Broth Death. A portion of the colored population of that part of Hillsdale in the shadow of the insane asylum are greatly agitated over the circum- stances attending the death of the husband of Lizzie Bruce, who was baried day before yes- terduy. Lewis Bruce, brother of the deceased, who has spent most of his life outside the city limits, had an idea that bis brother was | not properly treated before his death.

How Mr. Quick Put a Robber to Flight— Other Notes of Interest. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Farts Cuuncn, Va., June 7, 1893. A bold attempt at highway robbery or some- thing worso was attempted on Wednesday might Mr. Tunis C. Quick, with «lady, was re- turning from Warhington in a buggy, and just after crossing the railroad track at Torrisons, on turning a bend in the road, he noticed afire by the side of the road and six men gathered around. He'took the precaution to draw his pistol and have it ready in case of men left the group and stood in the road, and ashe came up took hold of tho bridle of the horse, but Mr. Quick had the drop on him, and with more energy than politeness snid: “Let go that horse.” It being very dark the man could not see that Mr. Quick hada pistol, but the men on the side of the road saw it and called to the man: “Let go, quick, or he will shoot you.” The man let go ina hurry and ran, and ‘Mr. Quick pursued his journey.

A Majority of the Next Congress Favors Such Action. RESULT OF THE TELEGRAPHIC INTERVIEWS WITH CONGRESSMEN OX THREE IMPORTANT SUB- JECTS—DIVIDED OPINIONS ON IXCOME TAX AND STATE BANK TAX—THE SHERMAN LAW DENOUNoxD. . The New York World bas interviewed nearly all the members of Congress by telegraph on the following questions: 1. Do you, with present information, favor the repeal of the Sherman silver law? 2. Do you favor ari income tax? 3, Do you favor the repeal of the state bank tax? The World in reporting their answers says: “Many of the answers deviate so far from the plain yes’ or ‘no’ and involve 60 many qualifi- cations that no tabular statement would fairly represent the opinions they express. The im- portant facts shown are that, to the first ques- tion, ‘Do you, with your present informa faves the ‘repeul of ‘the Sherman silver skw? ‘There are eighty-six Representatives who say, practically, ‘yes,’ while only 18 say ‘no. the rest many, who qualify their answer so strongly that they eaunot fairly be placed in the firmative column, show plainly that their in- linutions are in favor of a repeal. The senti- ment of the lower house on that question seemis to bo overwhelming. “The Worid had already polled the Senate on the silver bill and on March 6 last printed a table showing that that body stood for repeal, 39; against repeal, 28; non-committal, 16. It will be noticed ‘that several who were non- committal then are now in favor of repeal. There seems tobe no doubt that nearly two- thirds of the Senate will vote that way. ‘The an iv newer question of the income tax devel interesting situation. Many who 6) as to the Sherman bill evade or ignore this question, but forty-five say squarely that they favor it and forty-two that they donot. South- ern and western Congressmen ure the most numerous advocates of such g tax. “On the state bank tax qtestion epinion is almost as onesided asin regard to the Sherman bill, Many dodge it entirely, but sixty say positively that they are against rej the tax, while only thirty favor the repeal.” pia ier Taig EDWIN BOOTH WILL, William Bispham Names the Heirs—Mes- sages of Coddolence.

He told me later that he would answer the question if the ‘present time’ was batituted.” ‘The statements of Mr. Corbett about the let- ters getting into the hands of the Dry Goods Chronicle reporter by his having furnished a copy of one were read. ‘itness said that they were not true, Witness denied that he had instructed Mr. Bassett, bis private seeretary, to lat Me.
