T! local team lost to the Louisvilles and the self- constituted advisers of Manager O'Rourke had a chance to say “I told you so. The attacks on the local team and the lew standing of the visitors combined to keep many away. ‘The occupants of the bleachers soon showed the local team that they were hostile. The local team never tried harder to win, but every close chance was turned into error. Wise had an unfortunate muff and Mulvey » wide throw, but the other errors were made through anxiety to get the ball.

More poor play- ing in the second gave another. Then the visitors begun hitting the ball savagely and on two sin- gies and fumbles by Mulvey and Sullivan two Funs came in. A base on balls, a and two singles enabled the colonels to tle the score in the third. Howls of detight came from the bleachers. Washington will soon have as bad a name as Pittsburg if this sort of thing continues. A base on balls and a double gave the locals their fifth and last run.

Had the local team won Wise would have re- ceived unbounded praise for his activity. He wasall overthe field at times and tried for everything in reach. As the club lost he was howled at in the vilest of language, and when a hit went out to Hoy he was sarcastically told to “go after that.” Many of the occupants of the blenchers were ashamed of the exhibition made by a few of those sitting near the and tried to shut them up. Some of the nowsiest of the bleachers were letter carriers, and disgraced the United States untform with their conduct and language. ‘The Louisville players were astounded at tl treatment of the local players by the element on the bieachers. “Is it like this often?” they asked,with a shrug. The vilest of abuse was hurled at Wise for his misplasa It’s no wonder Sam lost his temper once. Better ignore them, Sam. ‘No player on the local team has worked more ‘hing, and it certainly mast be discourags ing, and it certainly must be di: ing to be “roasted” when mishaps occur. The surest wuy to kill base ball in Washing- ton is to “roast” the local club for Josing Many people will stay away, those who go hoot at the players,who can hardly be expected to “brace up” under such circumstances.

Latham Removed From the Grounds. ‘There was excitement at Baltimore yester- day. Latham, when he struck out for the third time, is alleged to have used abusive lan- gange toward the umpice, and McLaughlin Promptly fined him. Latham, itis said, con- tinued his abuse, and the fine was increased to $25 and the third baseman was ordered to the | bench. Even from the bench Latham is said to have continued his peculiar behavior, and the umpire ordered him to leave the grounds Some man in the open sents ran to Latham and encouraged him not to leave. but Police Sergt. Rowe escorted the excited spectator to the gate and deposited him on the outer side of the fence. Some persons who did not hear Latham's comments blamed the umpire for his action, but others said that McLaughlin do- served co .mendation. Walking at Kernan's.

All the Prisoners Deny Their Confessions and Set Up an Alibi. ‘This morning the trial of Gant, Hardy and Norris for the murder of Peter Young was ro- sumed and Mr. Hewlett, for the defendants, opened the case, stating that the alleged con- | feasions were made after the police had locked them up; that they wero contradictory and should not be received as evidence of guilt, and that each would show that he was not present at the time and knew nothing of the murder. GANT'S STATEMENT. Wm. Gant testified, denying the statements ‘made against him and asserting that he was at home on the night of the murder. ‘illiam, and that be came home at 9:30 o'clock on’ the night of the murder nnd remained at home all night. She heard Mary Thomas in the witness room before she had testified say that she did not know anything about the case. Charles and Edward Marshall testified that they saw Norris at 2d and C streets about 8 o'clock on the night of the killing. George Green testified that Norris was at the flying horses after 10 o'clock. NORRIS IX HIS OWN BEMALF. Norris took the stand and testified that he was about the flying horses from 9:30 to 11 o'clock or after, and denied any knowledge of the murder. He said that Lieat, Hollingber- ger, Sergt, Acton and Officer Kraemer had thrown water on him, struck him with a black- Jack and put him in 'the dungeon and mado im tell what he did; that they could not see in the dungeon, and Lieut. Hollinberger came down and asked if he eaw spirits. He was kept in the dungeon a doy and a night and kept at the station ten days. One (Lieut. Hollen- Derger) wid that if he told about it they would give him a place as an office boy and another offered him money. He only made the con- fession to get out and after the rough treatment to which he had been subjected. On cross-examination Norris denied that he told Officer McKie to arrest Hardy. Mary Norris, the prisoner's grandmother, testified that ho was out in the afternoon and got home at 10 o'clock. ‘THE OFFICER'S DENIAL. In rebuttal Officer McKio testified denying that he strack Norris; asserted that Norris received his meals regularly; that the dungeon was not such a dreadful place as described, éc. Officer Kraemer testified that he had seen the three persons together often and denied that he struck Norris with a blackjack. The murder took place at 9:50 o'clock, and there was fifteen minutes’ walk from the homes of the prisoners and the flying horses. Officer Dyer testified that he had seen the prisoners together a number of times. ‘This concluded the testimon: 22 —— THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.

Startling Testimony in the Borden Trial This Afternoon. New Bepronp, !*.ss., June 15.—This after- Dr. Benjamin J. Handy testified that he passed the Borden house bo- tween 10:20 and 10:40 on the morning of the murder and saw a medium-sized young man of pale complexion with eyes fixed on the sidewalk. He was in the street between the Borden and Kelly house, and attracted witness’ attention by atrange actions.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Nuw Bepronp, Mass., June 15,—The greatest surprise in the Borden caso came at 10:28 this morning, when District Attorney Moody rose, and in his quiet tones announced that the government rested its case. The announcement was shock enough to cause some persons to etch their breath; it caused looks of wonderment on face ator faces it made whisporers silent and those who had been silent talk. Lizzte’s fan went up to her face and hid her eyes and countenance: hor lawyers looked pleased, and ex-Inspector Ducey of Cambridge, who has been working for the defense for the st three months. actually smiled. But there were glum looks on the faces of other officera—expressions of disappointment whon the looks of wonder had disappeared ‘The judges were calm; so were the jurors as far as appearances went. It was an unlucky forenoon for the state’sside of the case, ‘The temporary advantage which seemed to have been gained Inst night by the agreement of the ju to admit the prussic acid story if the state could show that the attempt to purchase it was not with innocent purpose disappeared in a good deal the same manner that Buzzard bay fogs fly before the morning sun from New Bedford. ‘The “it” that the three judges put in last night regarding the prussic acid ovidenae looked quite emall and insignificant then, but after District Attorney Knowlton had’ put on two or three witnesses and Gov.

They Are Endeavoring to Swindle Widows of the Dead Clerks. An unpleasant incident in connection with the relief of the sufferers of last Friday's catas~ trophe was unenrthed today. The fact was drought to light that a man claiming to be an agent before Congress had called upon several women who were made widows by the accident and promised to use his influence.with Congress to have an appropriation made for their relief. Asa slight return, according to his estimate, for his influence and services he endeavored to et them to sign papers surrendering to him 8334 per cent of any sums they might receive from the government. The members of the committee today were loud in their denunciations of this man, whom they have dubbed rk, and have en- deavored to warn all the possible victims against his schemes. ‘The committee deprecates any such attempt being made by interested parties to se- cure appropriations for the sufferers, and they have warned all the women and others possible against putting their names to any paper of protest or claim without ‘consulting the committee with reference to it first. The committee are of the opinion that something will be done on behalf of the sufferers by Congress, In the meantime they are spending liberally to relieve immediate necessities. TODAY'S MEETING. ‘The committee met again today in parlor 10 of Willard’s, ‘There were present Messrs, Bull, Edson, Douglass and Lambert, and a consider- ablo amount of urgent business was di of. Seven new cases were given to Miss Hend: the committee's representative, to investigate and in thirteen cases money was appropriat for relief purposes.

One of the well-known men of the city passed away yesterday when Dr. Thomas Antisell breathed his last. The nows of his death, as announced in yesterday's Stan, came to his numerovs friends with none of the suddenness of an unexpected shock. For some time past his condition has been such that his death might have occurred at any time. Three years ago he had a stroke of paralysis and the disease has been progressive ever since. At the time of his death, which occurred at his home, 1311 Q street, his daughters, Miss Antisell and Mra. Cruikshank, were with him. Dr. Antiscll leaves @ family of two sons end six daughters, William Mackey Cruikshank, one of five grand- children, graduated with honors from West Point only a few days ago. The funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon st 9 o'clock from tho Inte residence. ‘The ixterment will be mado at the Congros- sional cemetery. ‘The honorary pallbearers will be Dr. Lovejoy, Dr. J.

Norris, 'W. H. Baldwin, Edward Farquhar, Assistant Surgeon General Greenleaf, Dr. A. A. Snyder and Charles Lieberman. A BUSY, HONOBABLE CAREER. Dr. Antisell had a distinguished career. Ho was born in Ireland in the year 1817, and be- longed to a well-known family. From his early student years, which were spent in tho best schools of Ireland, England and Germany, his special study was chemistry. He, however, secured a thorough medical education and oi tered upon the practice of his profession in Dublin, where he also beld the position of lec- turer of chemistry in the Dublin School of Med- icine. Owing to hisconnection with the young Ireland party he was obliged to leave his native country in 1848. He came to this country and piseticed his profession in New York and also lectured on chemistry in various colleges. Several years bofure the breaking out of the war he was appointed to the position of principal examiner in the patent office in charge of the chemical division. He entered the volunteer service of the Union arm: asa brigade surgeon. Ho was afterward mod- ical director of the twelfth army corps, finally receiving tae rank of brevet lieutenant colonel for faithful and efficent service. In 1871 he went to Japan as technologist in the government commission appointed to de- velop the resources of the northern islands of that empire. He served there wix years. He was a member of anumber of scientific societies and was at ali times in request as a lecturer be- fore scientific institutions. He had been a con- tributor to scientiticliterature since his student lays, and his works cover a wide rauge of technical subjects, one of the best known being his “Home Eneyclopedia of Arts and Manufac- ture." His works are regarded as standard. He bad been connected with the Georgetown University for thirty years and received from that institution the degree of doctor of philoso- phy. He resumed his connection with the patent office, which continued until disease ren- dered him incapable of much active work. ——— Yair Play for Col. Ainsworth, Tothe ratior of The Eventne Star: One of the characteristics of this great na- tion, which has appealed to mo, as a foreigner, most forcibly, is the innate love of the American for fair play. There is no country on earth in which thie desire for absolute fairness is so manifest, or where the tenets of public and in- | dividual equity aud good faith obtain in a greater degree than in the United States and among its splendid citizens. Such, at least, has been my experience during a residence among you covering many years, I can scarcely express my indignation and surpriso, therefore, at the treatment to which Col. Ainsworth has been subjected in connec- tion with the sad tragedy at the old Ford's Theater. Ido notknow him, have never even seen him, but it sooms to me that be has been made necapegoat. I have read carefully all the evi- dence adduced vo far at the coroner's inquest, but fail to see anything that points to him as in the least blamable or responsible for the ter- rible disaster of lust Friday. On the contrary, he seems to have been solicitous fcr the welfare and comfort of bis clerk. The excavation which caused the calamity was, as I understand, undertaken with a view to better the sanitary condition of the building and put in an electric Nght plant. So far not an iota of evidence has been produced to show that he was aware that the building had ever been condemned. On the contrary, skillful architects like Mr. Clark and Mr. Entwisle had pronounced it eafe, Col. Ainsworth inspected the work being done in person, and seems to have taken every pre- caution. ‘I fail to seo, therefore, where he is to biame. In the heat of the excitement popular opinion seems to hvae settled on the colonel as the culprit. Batacalm and careful exemina- tion of all the facts obtainable fails to attach any responsibility to him. The fact that he is net popnlar among his subordinates is unfor- tunate, but it is no good reason why he should be placed morally in tho stocks and held up be- fore the wholo world a¥an unnatural monster, a despot and a murderer. And I, for one, shali withhold condemnation of Col. Ainsworth until Treo Just grounds for saddling the responsi- bility on his shoulders, Lovts Bacozr. ——— Fir ries of the South At tie.

Greely, ex-Commissioner Webb and other residents of that portion of the city south of the avenue and west of 17th street protesting vigorously against the locating of the proposed hospital for conta- gious diseases on thosite of the old naval observa- tory. Mr. McAdoo said to a Star reporter to- day that although he had mado up his mind not to interfere in this matter in the absence of Sec- retnry Herbert, he was perfectly willing togrant « hearing to any citizen or citizens who might desire to present an argument against the pro- posed ase of the naval observatory grounds, Secretary Herbert will return to Washington next week and will probably take acijon at once in this matter.

I suppose tho Frenchwoman would say, with FRIVOLO! 2 equal cleverness that ‘La nature frou frou,” if she were called upon to makes phrase.

Between the rolls of one inverted V is fastened a jaunty bow of rose ribbon, and about the upper roll of the next V is placed another. The round corsage is tucked within the skirts and confined by a ribbon fret. The belt is fastened by a firm stiff bow and buckle. Upstanding ends reach well toward the bust. Down the mid- die. where the frock hooks, is a roll of silk, and running from the tip of the shoulders to e belt buckle are two more. An odd, loose ~— collar is edged with the bit of wound T, a well as tho edge of the sleeve cape. ‘The sleeve proper is a big upper arm puff and a tight forearm.
