LATE BASE BALLNEWS Notes and Gossip About the Players. SENATORS WANT ANOTHER PITCHER. Weakness in the Box Loses An- other Game. BROWNS IN NINTH PLACE. ‘WILD PITCHING AND ERRORS. ‘They Combine to Give the St. Louls Browns Another Game. Esper's wild pitching, coupled with costly errors by Sam Wise, caused Washington to lose yesterday's game to the St. Louis Browns and ninth place. Esper sent six to first on balls and hit two with the ball, sending them to first, Breitzenstein pitched well and not a Senator reached firston balls. Three of the Browns reached first on errors. which is rather more than the Senators generally allow. On the other hand eleven of the Browns were lett on bases, which speaks well for the Senators’ fielding. After Sam Wise had made two costly errors Stricker replaced him. “Cub” made « hit, an error, four put outs and four assists and « sac- fice bit.

Outfielder Weaver created a sensation in right field the afternoon game on the 4th at Louis- Ville in am appropriate manner. He is the pos- the famous He loaded the cylinder to the brim before the game and placed the weapon in his sliding pad. Some one knocked a high fly into his territory. Weaver ran under it, steadied him- self and pulled his pocket cannon from his trousers. He fired five shots at the ball as it descended, knocked it back up into the air with the free hand and fired the remaining two shots at the ball as it descended for the second time. He then quickly dropped the weapon to the ground, caiching tho ball as it passed. No wonder Washington lost. BUCKENBERGER NOT SATISFIED. Manager Buchenberger is not ‘ satisfied with the standing of the Pittsburg club. “We ought to be up at the top,” he says, “but we struck a losing streak some weeks ago and are just now recovering from the shock. Our pitchers, whom we considered especially strong, failed for the time being, and the remainder of the team seemed to goto pieces, too. Terry bas not been doing good work lately, and Enret is about the only men we could rely upon. . Then, too, the injury to Mack has bandizapped us, as the pitchers seemed to do their best work with him kebind the bat. We undoubtedly have the better of the deal by securing Glasscock in ex- change for Shugart, and I feel confident that from now on Pittsburg will make a good fight to reach the top of the list.” SUNDAY GAMES AT LOUISVILLE. The Louisville Base Ball Club will play Sun- day games hereafter on the home grounds. The new park, until last night, was located at Park- land, an incorporated suburb of Louisville. The town board of Parkland has n ordi- nance forbidding Sunday bail playing. Park- land is a prohibition town and no liquor could be sold on the grounds. J. George Puckstubl, the principal owner of the Louisville club, is the president of the Frank Fehr Brewing Com- pany and last night secured the of an ordinance through both boards of the general council of Louisville annexing the base ball park to Louisville. The law provides for such steps as this and the Louisville ball cranks are happy. YON DER ANE AFTER WAGNER'S #500. The Washington Baso Ball Club is at St. Louis and President Von der Ahe will make » play for $500 which he alleges is due him from the organization. He swore out an attachment for that amount and will try to collect out of Washington's share of the gate receipts. The suit is similar to that filed a week ago against the Baltimore club, and arises out of an un- id obligation. During the brotherhood war ‘on der Ahe tried to establish an association team at Pendleton Park, Cincinnati. He leased the park for five years at an annual rental of 21,200, so that he will have $6,000 to pay be- fore the elephant is off his hands. The associ- ation clubs agreed to share in the venture, but all of them have not comeup with their money. Washington is among the and as ‘Von der Ahe has more faith in the law than in promises he will collect his money by legal pro- cess. TOMMY PARROTT ON THE BENCH. Pitcher Tommy Parrott is still in He refuses to play for Cincinnati, and, as he cannot play with Chicago, will remain idle. “Cincinnati,” he said yesterday, “only wanted to pay me e175 month.

Earle Wagner offered to trade Joyce to Cin- cinnat for Pitcher Mark Sullivan, but Cincin- nati declined with thanks, The prediction was made when Stricker was signed that he would be filling Sam Wise’s place by July 1. Wonderif y a change means ything? Jack Glasscock made three errors in the Pitts- burg game yesterday, but was offset by Billy Nash. Gumbert shut out the Bostons yesterday. St. Louis newspapers charge Gaffney with in- toxication in one of the recent games Ward has placed himself seventh in batting order. Stafford, the Southern League scquisi- tion, heads the list, Ed. Crane joins the Brooklyns today and will john Irwin has tele to P. T. P president of the Eastern League, that Vou" det Abe is tampering with La Chance, » player be- longing to the Binghamton team.

WILL BE A GREAT RACE, Eights From Cornell and University of Pennsylvania to Row This Evening. ‘The university boat race between the eights of Cornell University and the University of Pennsylvania, on Lake Minnetonka, Minn., will be rowed this evening at 6 o'clock. Forty thousand people, it is expected, will witness the race. Every steamer on the Jake has been chartered and every available neck of land that affords « view of the course has been pre-empted. The boats will be started seventy- five feet apart to avoid any possibility of » foul. Cornell will row in the aluminum boat unless the water is very rough. The betting is now 5to 1 on Cornell with Plenty of takers. Courtney says that the mnsylvania crew is the best that university has ever sent out. ‘The course is four miles and both crews have rowed it in less than twenty-two minutes, es ALEXANDRIA THE NEW CITY CoUNCIL. The new city council was organized on the Ist of July, but as yet have done nothing e: cept to elect officers. It has, so far, no com- mittees and is not in a position to move in the direction of any new departure. The boar will meet again next Tuesday night, when t committees will be appointed and. arrange- ments made for the election of the police and other officers of the corporation whose clection is not by the charter given into the hands of the people. Then after the matters left over by the old council shall have been referred to the new committees ‘on finance, police, schools, streets, general laws, light, poor, public property and on claims, the ‘new council will be ready to go to work The most extensive proposals for expenditure will be held in check yy the fact that there is no money to expend except that which is covered by the appropriu- tions already made. Any new proposal for expenditure not on lines already provided for must involve new taxation or new bonds. The question whether new bonds may legally be issued on the basis of old bonds already bought in and withdrawn is now under con- sideration. fs DROWNED AT THE WHARVES, Acolored boy named Eli Wilson fell over- board yesterday afternoon while fishing on Reed's wharf between King and Prince streets and was drowned. Mr. James Phillips leaped overboard after the boy, bu: he never rose, and it was some time before his body was dredged up. While dredging for his body the satchel of R. A. Coates of Westmoreland, Va., who was drowned about the same place last year, was dragged up. NOTES. The police were called last night to quell some disorder near Patrick and Duke streets, where some women had an affray over a man. The riot was quelled by taking the par- ticipants into custody.

A rather new departure in the way of church services has been inaugurated at the First Presbyterian Church, 43; street, All the reg- ular services of the church are kept up daring the summer. The evening service has been specially arranged and adapted by Rev. Mr. Holmes to the season. Beginning at 8 o'clock, the first quarter hour will be devoted to a ser- vice of song under the direction of the male quartet choir of the church. ‘Then there will be a service of devotion, in the course of which there will be a brief meditation upon one of the beatitudes by Rev.

The Old Employes Finding Other Employ- ment—The General Situation. Business on the Eckington railroad seems to de in ite normal condition. The men who left the employ of the company a few days ago are looking for other work. It is said that the cars are now run on the regular schedule and that the company has all the assistance it needs in operating the road, It is proposed to give an, excursion for the benefit of the employes who are out of work, | and several of the men are working up the affair. The recent strike has attracted a good deal of attention from the employes on other street | railroads in the city, and it bas cussed in its various phases, The gossip about sympathy movements on the part of the employes on other roads is believed to be mere gossip. It has been said that the em- ployes on the n and wn road, are desirous of getting more pay, but it is un- derstood that nothing definite has been deter- mined upon, and it is doubtful if the matter has assumed larger proportions than merely the expression of individual opinion. ‘Another matter thet is said. to be contem- plated is the formation of an organization con- Histing of the employes of all the strest. rail- ' is eaid that men have been here try- ing to work up an interest in such an organ- ization, but it is thought that they have found the mon in this city rather indifferent, and so they have not been able to make much pro- gress, been dis- STATEMENTS DENIED. Speaking of the Eckington strike one of the conductors who had gone out said today toa Stan reporter: “I want to contradict many of the state- ments thathave been made in reference to the strike. “First of all, Mr. Schoept says in an interview that he did not ask men on theG street line of cars to sign the agreement, le only asked the electric car men.

To the Editor of The Evening Star. ‘Will the railroads still adhere to their present high rates to the world’s fair, or may wo ex- pect reduction later on? Iam in one of the largest of the government departments (the War Department), and this is the caso as far as my observation goes: A year ago the clerk who was not planning to goto the fair was an ex- ception to the rule; now the opposite is the case. This is the way they talk: “Well, going to the fair?” “That depends. If the railroads do the square thing I intend to go, but if they don't | T'll stay at home or go somewhere else.” I think I spoak truthfully when I eny that this 1s the way that 90 percent of the clerks feel about the matter at present. We are wait- ing for a reduction in rates, and if it does not come or comes too lato—after the annual leave has been used up—the majority will not go at all. ‘There is a feeling that the railroads want it all, and that they think tne poople, after kick- ing awhile, will go anyway. This spirit of ox- orbitance ‘has engendered a resentment that will lead many to give up a visit to the fair, that has been contemplated ever since its in bees rather than submit to unfair oxactions, if the roads would announce a low-rate trip I know that hundreds of clerks who are at present making no plans to go, or, at least, are awaiting developments, would at once decide to go. And I believe this is as true of other cities as of Washington. Convasus. aes READY FOR THE PROMISED LAND. The Men Folk Were Willing, but Their ‘Wives Were Not to Be Persuaded. From the Memphis Appeal-Avalanche. It was in acove on the Cumberland moun- tains that Isat on the dcorstep of a moun- taineer’s cabin in the twilight of a summer's evening and listened to the following: “Yo! see, stranger,” said the mountainecr’s wife as she drew a long whiff from her corn- | cob pipe aud gave one of the dogs kick with hor bare foot, “‘a Morman elder he cum up yere to lead we'uns to the promised land.

From the Philadelphia Times. The registration and sanitary committes of the board of health has addressed the following notice to the physicians of the city: “As the board of health is doing all in its power to prevent the spread of contagious dis- eases, you are requested not to place on any certificate ‘heart failure’ as the cause of death, but the disoase of which the patient was suffer- heart failure. This placed on adopted by this board, it being looked upon as a result of some other’ illness from which the patient was suffering. Furthermore, it fur- nishes an opportunity toconccal contagious dis- eases,and thus permits the ignoring of the rules of this board by the family and under- taker, either innocently or designedly. “Hereafter a burial permit will not be issued on the certificate of death of ‘heart failure’ when unaccompanied with the disease from which the heart failure occurred.” IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE In the Opinion of Judge Miller as to the Cireamstances of an Assault. The case of E. J. Downing, an employe of the Eckington road, charged with assault on Mr. Austin, a former employe,gave rise to some remarks from Judge Miller in the Police Court yesterday, which were rather forcible. After;hearing the testimony the judge s1'd that if this case had come into court as an or- dinary knock-down it would have amounted to but little, but with the surrounding circum- stances it is rendered of more importance. “Mr. Downing,” said the Judge, ‘seemed to have lost all possible regard for’ himself and his position, and it is the duty of the court to deal with him summarily. He is the last man in the world who onght to be on » car under such circumstances. By jumping off the car and precipitating « fight you did what in many cities mght have led to serious trouble.” A fine of $50 and costs was imposed. led to the court Mr. Ridout, his counsel, for a reduction of the fine. The court refused this and added: “I will say right here that if the offense is repeated I will send Mr. Downing to jail for a long period, and if, on the other hand, the men raise their hands'to bring about a ‘disturbance they will have to go to juil.” ‘The fine was paid. selec ceeei WILL RETURN ‘The Locked-Out Stonecutters Will Once More Hammer and Cut. ‘The foreman in Mr. Manning’s stone yard yesterday paid the fine which had been imposed on him by the stonecutters’ union, His fail- ure to pay this fine led to the lockout which has been in operation for several weeks past. The men who were employed in several of the yards bofote the lockont have been notified to return to work on Monday. It is believed that the lockout is at an end, much to tho relief of those who are interested in the stono business. etic tet nae WINE AT THE COMMUNION, TO WORK. The Question of Non-Intoxicants. To the Editor of The Evening Star: My fad is the early discovery of America, and if any one runs across my fad [am angry, for there is no doubt in any sane or well-balanced and well-informed mind that Lief Ericsson came to America in the year 1000 ina very much finer and more stately vewsel than the Viking representation which is now on its way to the world’s fair; not the least doubt that said Ericsson built the earthworks Prof. Hos- ford has so plainly pointed out on the banks of the Charles river near Cambridge, Mass., and that the Old Mill, Newport, was their handi- work also. But when Icome across any other ply smile at the thought that reasonable persons can be 60 easily imposed upon or spond their time ao foolishly. For instance, I can understand how after the temperance reform got well under way devout and simple-minded persons might have ob- | jected to the use of wine at the sacrament and wished for a non-intoxicant, and how that dis- tinguished congregational divine, Prof. Mose Stuart of Andover Theological Seminary, | should havo said in his celebrated sermon, de- livered more than fifty yearsago, that he wished there was proof that the Lord’s supper had been instituted with non-intoxicating wines, or words to that effect. But I cannot understand why those hopes and that ejaculatory utterance should have been formulated into a sort of creed. or that Rev. Dr. Goorge W. Sampson should have tried to prove it as a fact that the original sacramental wine was non-intoxicating. | It is true that Dr. Sampson's fine spun theories and assertions, as embodied in his massive | volume, have since been so completely refuted | that his book or his arguments have no place | with scholars, but the fad is somehow a taking | one and has become very prevalent in these latter days. This reminds me that in the town where I re- sided several years ago some very zealous Indies made an earnest move to have the ordinary wine displaced from sacramental use. In their efforts they addressed acireular to the min- isters of all denominations, aud- excepting | from the Episcopal clergymen a general re- | sponse was bad that only non was used; from the Episcopal tlergymen only afew responses were had. One was substan- tially to the effect that the tadics had best be engaged in some really serious business, and another to the effect that the Bibie plan was good enough for him, and that ail really Christian people would use wine, I hence sup- | | pose that (othe Eptscopel’ churches’ the Lord's | example is followed. | Ido not know what is really meant by “non- intoxienting” wine. In # section at the north where 1 lived for some years a solution of | raisins and raisin stems soaked in water aud | | sweetened was for years used. Ina city where | | Lepent some years a devout woman, wife of a| | Methodist minister, used to put up every fal! in | glass vessels a large amount of froshly ex- | pressed grape juice and at once seal np these Yesscls #0 that the contents would hold their integrity for years. This juice was used at her husband's church, and not infrequently the | good lady gave it to other clergymen for use at their sacramental oceasions. ‘Once, in my travels, I called on a deacon of | a Congregational church, and on inquiry after | his wife learned that she had been very danger- | ously ill. It turned out that tho cause of her | serious sickness was the use of a bottle of #o- | called ‘‘unfermented” wine which the good | deacon had bought of a party in New York. who | made a specialty of supplying tho article for sacramental uses. When his family physici had prescribed wine for his wife the good dea- | cou beught one of these bottles for the pur- ose, and the doctor said if the deacon’s wife ad taken one more bottle he would not have answered for the consequences, I suppose there may be many other kinds of the non-intoxicating wine. I merely mention all I know. Now I will not say it is absolutely nntrue that ever a communicant was seduced by the taste of wine at the sacramental table toa return to the drink habit, but I do say that after a con sideration of the instances to that effect cited in the past fifteen years I fully agree with a leading minister of “Massachusetts, recently de- ceased, that there is not a single: well-sutheuti- cated one to prove the statement true. Tknow Iam somewhat out of my line when I ¥ any on this subject, but for my- self [um fully persuaded that the suggestion | above quoted of the Episcopal clergyman con- tains the whole gist of the inatter, and that is | this, viz: The wine used at the first the wine of the period; that wine w: nary wino used on passover occasions, and in following the example of the Master in this particular there is not the least fear that the ‘oung will be led into temptation or the re- formed man be made to loug for his cups, Op Foor, — Constructor Nixon and the Ammen Ram. Purapetruna, Pa., July 5, 1893, Editor Evening Star, Washington, D.C. Referring to the communication from Rear Admiral Daniel Ammen, U.S.N., published in Tux Sram of July 1.in which am taken to fark for saying that to have the same momentum as the Camperdown has at a speed of ten knots the Katahdin must ha peed of fifty knots, I beg to say that this statement is strictly correct. In my remarks, which were givenin a hurried interview, I endeavored to point out the fact that light body is more easily deflected than a heavier one, and then said that ‘the efficiency of a ram depends probably more upon her momentum than upon anything else.” In this oase the term momentum was not only used, but momentum was meant, It seems hardly necessary to state that the momentum of & body is the product of its mass into ite velocity, while its vis viva or energy 1 the Product of its mase into tho square of its velocity. Thad no intention of criticising the Ammen ram, as she will bo a useful vessel within Limits, but ‘only to combat the idea that such rams should be our main defense against battle ships.

A Belief That the Grand Jury Will Report Early Next Week. When the grand jury adjourned yesterday afternoon until Monday morning next they did so without giving any intimation as to what the result of their investigation into the matter of the Ford's Theater building disaster would be. It is supposed, however, that the investigation has about been concluded and that adecision may be expected early next week, possibly on Monday next. But even after the grand jury should notify the district attorney of their purpose to indict one or more of the parties alleged to be responsible for the calamity, it is thought that it would be several days later before an indictment could be drawn. There- fore, even in the event of an early decision of the grand jury to indict, it would necessarily be, because of the very intricate presentment, not much earlier the latter part of next week before the indictment was formally presented in open court. There again, although it is supposed that the grand jury will be ready to vote Monday on the ques- tion of returning an indictment, they may de- cide then to examine more witnesses, which would, of course, still further delay matters, It is thought more than 9 le, however, that the whole matter will be concluded next week. Upon indictments being re- turned, the next step would be the ar raignment of the indicted which would soon follow the presentment the in- dictmenta. ‘Then the date of the trials would probably be set, which cannot, because of the summer vacation of the courts, take place be- oe next fall. bly some time next Oc- r. a AT LAKELAND. A Lodge of Knights of Pythias Being Formed. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Laxecaxn, Mp., July 7, 1898. The little son pf Mr. J. 0. Bryant of this place, who recently shot himself in the leg, is rapidly recovering. The residence wkich is being erected at Cen- tral Heights by the Bevley family is nearly completed. Mr. Edwin A. Newman is erecting a large ball on Lakeland avenue. It will be $2 by 64 feet and will be fitted up for the use of the new Lodge of the Knights of Pythias which is being formed at this place ‘The members of the proposed new lodge of Knights of Pythias, which is being formed at Lakeland, heid ite fifth preliminary meeting on ‘Thursday evening last, and it was well attended. ‘The meeting was called to order by the man, Mr. A. L. Saltzstein, jr., at 8 o'clock, and the minutes of the previous meeting being read and approved the reports of the various com- mittees were received. The committee which was appointed at the previous meeting to call upon the grand keeper of records and seals at Baltimore expressed much satisfaction with the manner in which they were received by that gentleman. The object of the com- mittee was to secure all the necessary informa- tion as to the installation, which is expected to take place the second Thursday in August, 80 that the lodge may make all preparations necessary for the occasion. It is tl of the Lakeland folks to have all the necessary work well done, so that all the Grand Lodge will have to do is to go over the work of the new lodge. The membership now stands forty, and it is expected that at least fifty members will be at the installation, Mr. John 0. Johnson is cutting » street through from Lakeland to the Tele road, which will open up a new track of land for sub- division. This road will be of great conven- ience to the people living in that vicinity, as it will give them a short outlet to the Baltimore pike through Lakeland. mere eee How to Prevent Accidents, From the Willing World. A largo decrease in tho number of accidents has resulted from a law in Germany relating to shops in which machines are used. Under the law the maiming of a workman entails upon the proprietor the payment of doctor's bills, a life pension to the employe in case of permanent disability resulting from the accident, or, in case death results, a pension to the family of the decleased. ‘The effect of the law has been the general discharge of careless help and the shielding of «uch parts of the machines as are ordinarily dangerous when left exposed, and these measures are said to have produced « re- wmarkabie dimninution of casualties in the use of machines. It would be wise, in the absence of such alawin this country, for proprietors to instruct superintendents or foremen that care- lessness on the part of workmen as to their pettoual safety will be immediately punished suspension or discharge. More accidents re- sult from heediessness and recklessness on the part of employes than from all other causes combined. It is probably no mistake to attri- bute the decrease of accidents in German work- shops more to the elimination of careless oper- atives than to the boxing in of the dangerous parts of machines, sos How Veragna Lost His Fortune. The financial crisis through which the Duke of Veragua is now passing and which will end in all probability in his being declared bank- rupt, seems to have been caused in a great measure by speculation in Paris, the duke hav- ing intrusted his money toa broker. Thestory of the duke’s trouble comes from the duke him- self. Just before his departure from Chicago he told President Palmer he had been speculat- ing with the major portion of hie fortune in Paris, and had just been informed by cablegram that he had lost every dolla: tak eae Surveyor Lyon Has Resigned.

All Grocers ‘The Law in South Carolina Decided to Be ‘Unconstitutional. Judge Hudson of the circuit court at Dar- lington, 8.

Floyd, who bad been appointed liquor dispenser for Darling- ton, from opening the dispensary. Judge Hudson, in his decision, gave an elaborate opinion, in which he said that the law is clearly unconstitutional, that no one can ‘open a dispensary there without violating the law. ‘This settles the matter for the present and things will remain in statu quo until the t on it, sions hold water.
