A Sham Battle Witnessed by a Large Number of Visitors. ‘The event of yesterday at the third battal- fon’s camp at Marshall Hall was the sham battle, which occurred a Uttle before 7 o'clock in the evening. and which was wit- nessed by a large crowd of visitors. Capt. Simmons commanded one party and was stationed in the grove nearest the mansion with seventy-five men, while across the ravine, north of the mansion, Capt. Edwin L. Dunn commanded the enemy. Capt. Simmons and his veterans opened the Mock fight with a volley. which was quick- ly returned. Then there was some lively skirmishiqz and a spirited charge by Capt. Simmons” men. which was repulsed with equal spirit and valor by Capt. Dunn's men. Finally. after brisk fighting, Capt. Simmons surrendered according to program and his command was marched into camp, where victors and vanquished had supper Yogetner. There will be mock battles to- morrow and Saturday evening. Fred Rice, who, as reported in The Star, ‘Was put under arrest for an alleged infrac- tion of camp regulations, complained to a Star reporter of injustice on the part of superior officers. The alleged offense, he said, was due to an ailment incurred in the war. He had, he said, served all through the war and besides been three years in the Union Veteran Corps and had never suf- fered before the humiliation of arrest. > — The Difference im Children. There is a man up town who has two children, Fritz and Elsa. Fritz ts the Ideal- ist, the dreamer, with gentle ways aid air, bothering himself but little about the ma- terial things. Elsa, who is younger, Is chubby, rosy-cheeked, with sturdy little legs that just lift her inquisitive eyes to the top of the kitchen table. She is intense- ly practical in all things and likes mater- ta] demonstrations. ‘The other day they were out on the lawn, Fritz in bis favorite attitude flat on his back watching the clouds, the trees and the shadows. Elsa sat beside him busily en- gaged in one of her favorite occupations— stowing away a big slice of bread and pre- e1 es. ‘isa, don't you love the beautiful clouds up there in the sky?” asked Fritz, “Nope.” replied old practicality, with her mouth full of preserves. “Don't you love the little birds that swing on top of the big trees?” pe. “Elsa, don't you leve the sweet flowers that grow in mamma's garden?” ope. ell, Elsa, what do you love?” “Dinner.” And the man who told this story added, "She is her father’s child.” —<——— Real ate Matters.

Yesterday's defeat by the Orioles showed that the Monumental city team is a trifle faster than the Senatorial a tion. The Baltimores have improved since the first of the sea- son, and the Washingtons have gone back. With defeat staring them in the face, the Baltimores yesterday afternoon awoke to the Importance of a victory, and by mak- ing @ Garrison finish in the ninth inning pulled out ahead. ‘The Senators hal every- thing their own way up to this time, Maul having pitched a remarkably strong game. Toward the close, however, he weakened and became rattled, allowing the Orioles fo score the four runs necessary to win. The Senators had the first whack at th ball, and when the ninth inning began they had the birdlets covered up snugly under the store of 7 to 4. After closing their half of the ninth with a shut-out, Baltimore took the field. The first man at the bat in this great inning was McGraw. ‘The littie fellow twice before had gotten a base on balls, and he ca to wait long enough to get another. Kelly, who had failed to do apything up to this time, sent high fly to Capt. O'Rourke's territory, which fell safe. Shindle, who seems to be the luckiest man on tl team, especially in the ninth inning, hit a sharp bounding ball to Wise and beat the throw. Three Men on the bases now. ‘Tayior picked out an in-shoot and placed it in right field for a double. This brought in McGraw and Kelly, making the score 7 to 6 with no one out. “Treadway then took @ base on balls, and once more the specta- tors saw three white uniformed men on the bases. The game was to be won now or never. Long, with two strikes on him, lined one out to O'Rourke, and Shindle trotted home. nihi* ted the ‘score, and excitement ran Treadway showed poor judgment in run- ning bases,and was thrown out at second by O'Rourke on the play. Still there remains Taylor on third and Long at first. Reitz was called upon to do the trick, and he Gia. epignny.” ae they style “him. re- gmembered how ‘he won the game for the Baltimores in Washington on Monday, and waited. With a strike and one ball called on him, he met one over the plate and let go. It was a tremendous drive, and while the ball fell safely in Radford’s hands, it was so far out that the little fellow could not recover himself to throw home in time to shut off Taylor's run. which won the game. ft was a great finish. Washington saw the tide turning when two men got on the bases, and a delay was caused by O'Rourke's kicking with Maul. The vic- tory made the Orioles a three-time winner in the series. Baltimore, ‘up to the ninth inning, had one but little with Maul. He had plenty of speed. and had struck out seven men. But six hits had been made off him. Tay- lor and Hawke were the only two men who had made more than one hit off his delivery. He was unfortunate, in giving eight men bases on balls, but only one of these scored. Hawke pitched for the Orioles, and he was hit hard in but one inning, which was the third. O'Rourke was a lucky man. He made three singles and a double. Wise was also in the swim. He had three sin- sles. Larkin had a move on him and got in, fwo hits. Both sides played a pretty fielding game, but the greatest play was shat gue of Treadway in the ninth inning. Sam Wise was on first base with two hands out when Larkin lined one at Me- w. It struck the little fellow on the and the ball bounded to right field. 486 kept on running, but Treadway’s lett arm shot out, and on a line throw he canght Sam at the plate. Washington took a strong lead in the first inning, making two runs on a base on balls by Hoy, a steal, Robinson’s wild throw. Wise’s single. ‘another steal, passed ball, O'Rourke's hit and Larkin's sacrifice. In the third inning, with two hands out. two more came in on Wise’s single, O'Rourke's triple, and Larkin’s dou- ble. Baltimore made their start in_ the same inning on Hawke's single and by McGraw and Sullivan's wild throw. , In the fifth the Senators got another on @ base on balls, a steal, a sacrifice and a hit by O'Rourke. In the sixth they got two more on two singles, two sacrifice hits, and an error by Reitz.

Her Rating of 161 Tons Exceeded Only by the Satantta. The Navahoe’s measurement has been taken, and her rating is declared to be 161 tons. This ts exceeded only in the case of the Satanita, which is rated at 162 tons, while the rating of the Valkyrie is 148 tons. An interview was had with Mr. Royal Phelps Carroll, the owner of the Navahoe, | at his residence, Rosetta, in front of which | the Navahoe ts lying, with troops of people watching and admiring her. Mr. Carroll sald he was not especially elated over the victory won by his yacht in the Royal Southampton Yacht Club’s regatta. He does net attach so much importance to the race because the Satanita ts built on such distinctly different lines from other yachts. He attaches more importance to the performance of the Navahce in Mon- dav's race. He formed the opinion from the race that the Valkyrie would be beaten easily when she raced in American waters. |_ “Is it not pretty widely believed that the Valkyrie’s attentions to the Navahve in Monday's race gave the victory to the Brittannia?" asked the reporter. | “Yes,” replied Mr. Carroll. “I incline to- | ward that opinion, but I do not complain | of tt in the least ‘in the regaita in ques- tion, as everything was conducted fairly. |1 go further and say that if on Monday the race had been between either the Brittannia or the Valkyrie and the Nava- | hoe my boat would have won. We ali came to that conclusion on board’ the Navahoe. You will have to build a detter—a very j Much better—boat than the Valkyrie in — to bring the American cup across ere Shall y javahoe?* not what you could call an altera- tion. “Of course we have learned a good deal in the two races in which we have taken part, and you must remember it takes two ‘or three races to get a crew strung up to racing form. The crews of the Valkyrie and Britannia have been | hard at it all the season. A good deal can be done in the next two or three races toward getting us in complete form. With a little tuning up and trimming here and there I think we will take the Genesta cup to America on board the Navahoe.” Capt.

Considerable comment has been occa- sioned in sporting circles by the fact that tickets for the coming Dixon-Pierce fight at the Coney Island Athletic Club next Mon- day night have not as yet been placed on sale. Numbers of applications for tickets, and the tardiness in issuing them caused the sports to suspect that some speculators had “cornered” them. Inquiry developed the fact that the tickets were ordered print- ed at a well-known bank-note printing es- tablishment in New York city several days ago, but before half the amount ordered had been printed the press broke down. Mr. Eckhardt, the official referee of the club, said with reference to the matter that the accident was rather unfortunate, “but,” he added, “there is no need for uneasiness. ‘The tickets will be surely ready by Friday at the latest. Meantime Dixon and Pierce continue to train assiduously for the mill, and the former's admirers are enthustastic over his condition. To them Pierce's chances of winning are very remote. Both men are now down to weight—1ls pounds. Crew of the Valkyrie Angry. It is stated that the disqualification of the Valkyrie in the race for the queen’s cup, by which the prize was secured by Emperor |.William’s yacht, the Meteor, greatly an- wered the captain and crew of the former vessel. Although the Valkyrie had been entered for yesterday's race, her crew showed a decided unwillingness to compete for the Meteor challenge shield. Just before the race Yesterday Vice Commodore Lord Ormonde boarded the Valkyrie and made a final effort to pacify the captain and crew, and induce them to hoist their racing flag. His effort was fruitless, however, as the indignation of the caj and his men at the treatment they received was too treat to be overcome. S Samu ALEXANDRIA, mts of Other Days. It fs a notable fact in regard to this city that the very earth on which the town was founded has been cut away and not one hundred feet square of the earth's surface on which the town surveyors drove their Pegs and ran their lines now remains, All except, perhaps, some score square yards in the middle of the block bounded by Cam- €ron, Queen, Royal and Fairfax streets have been cut away. But, singularly, some of the original houses have survived the Very earth and still stand, their foundation wails having become the outer walls of their first stories. These houses all show evidences of having been underpinned. In most cases the upper stories are of frame and the lower stories of stone and brick. ‘The house at the northeast corner of King and Fairfax streets, now Corbett's tobacco store, is an example, as is the old dwelling on the west side of Fairfax street, a few yards north of Queen street. Thirty years ago there were ten or fifteen houses here as old as the town. Now these two and the Carlyle House, inclosed in area of the Braddock House, are all that remain. City School Board. The city school board has neretofore held its annual meeting on the rst Wednesday in August, in order to close up the affairs of the last year. The new law, however, provides that “the board shall hold the re ular annual meeting between the Ist and the 1th of August, the exact ¥ to be fixed by the board itself, or in default there- of by the president.” So no meeung was held last night, but the board will meet to- night, and the regular monthly meeting Become the annual meeting.

One evening in the early part of June @ band of little girls in the northwest formed a club for charitable purposes, call- ing themselves “Little Women.” The sub- ject had been well talked of before the plan matured. Aided by the counsel of their mothers, who were “White Ribbon Women,” and knew the want and misery in the alleys of our city, and how hard it was for the workers, who gave of their time and means, to procure the money to carry on the mission work the “Little Women” raised quite a sum of money, and sent for the earnest mission worker,’ Mrs. R. F. Brown, to meet them at the residence of Mrs. Ritter, S street northwest. A week later a reception the residence of Mrs. Robinson, $ street. where she was personally made acquainted with everv member of the club of “Little Women,” officers and members of which are: Bessie Robinson, Ernestine Wrenn, Edith Ritter, Elma Wyman, Mary San: born, the mothers, Mrs. Woods, superin- tendent juvenile work, W. C. T. U.; Mrs. Ritter, W. C. T. U.; Mrs. Robinson, evange- listic superintendent, W. C. T. U. ‘The story of how these “Little Women" were working for those less fortunate than they was told by Mrs. Brown to a number of ‘little bright-eyed colored girls, who, catching the enthusiasm and spirit’ of the work, said, “We can do something, too,” and, ‘banding themselves together under the name of “Little Missionaries,” began eagerly to plan, the outcome of which was a lawn fete on ‘the grounds of the Howard University, from which $15 was raised. Of- ficers and members belonging to the “Little Missionaries” are: Mamie Brody, Cor- rinne Brody, Eunice Dorster, Carrie Lee, Sallie Fisher, Eva Brown, Mattie Prown, Beattrice Nalle, Rearly Barbour, Jennie Morrison, Anita Morrison, Josie Morrison, Josephine M.

Jones, C. M. Jones, H. Neidfelt and J. Lane were erected active members and L. Menekeim an honorary member of the corps. Paymaster George Breitbarth was Placed upon. the retired veteran roll, and Mr. E. G. Shaefer was elected to succeed him. Tt was announced that 125 members of the corps had signified their intention to accompany the corps to Atlantle City upon the occasion of its annual encamp- ment there this month, and that seventy- five members of the War Department Guards would also attend in full-dress Na- tional Guard uniform. The Fourth Artil- lery Band will accompany the corps, Marshall Hall and Indian Head. The regular Thursday evening Marshall Hall and Indian Heed trip of the Macales- ter will be made this evening. ‘The steamer leaves at 6:15 p.m. Schroeder's band and orchestra will render choice selections on the steamer and in the handsome new pavilion.

The story was that Archi ishop Ire. land was to be put over Corrigan's head, but leading churchmen do not believe that Archbishop Ireland would accept. such “a position, even if it were offered to him. eee Arrested at a Camp Meeting. Policeman Mason attended the colored camp meeting on lith street northeast last night, and while there he saw what he thought should not be permitted at a place of worship. Three men were disorderly, so he thought, and he proceeded to arrest them before they disturbed the open-air religious gathering. The men gave their names as Eugene Gaskins, Felix Johnson and Benjamin Collins. Johnson appeared in court for trial this morning, but the officer made out the charge, and the usual fine was imposed. The other men forfelted their collateral. Reta: Archbishop Satolli returned yesterday from an extended trip through the west and northwest and is at his quarters in the Catholic University. He was accom- panied by Rev. Dr. Thomas O'Gorman and ©. P. Grannon of the Catholic University.

Warm weather and bad liquor are re- sponsible for a large part of the suffering of the class of persons who frequent the Police Court as prisoners, and this morn- ing three dozen such persons occupied the four cells, among them being a number of females. The room became unbearable. Most of the prisoners, however, were used to the place and the odor and so but few of them had any complaint to make. Judge Taylor's procession started soon after 9 o'clock and Fred Hawkins, a young colored man, was in the lead. “Not guilty,” was his plea t of vagrancy,’ but Policeman sisted that his prisoner was guilty. He hanzs about 2ist and L streets,” said the officer, “at all hours of the day and night, and he is continually in the saloons in that neighborhood. “I went away on the prisoner, “and just came back three day: ago. How could that policeman see me about the streets here when 1 was out of the city?” “How about before you went away?” asked the judge. “I was at work,” replied Fred. “And, judge, your honor, I help to support my mother.” “He helps to support the saloons,” added the officer. “You can have fifteen days. Lizzie Lewis, Phyllis Lewis, Mary Brent and Malinda ‘Jackson, charged with dis- turbing the quiet of several sections of the city, were fined $ each. Gave Him a Trial. “I'm guilty of disorderly conduct, but I have something to say,” was the response of a neatly dressed little man named Wil- Mam Biggs. “I want to say," he added, “that if your honor will release me on my own recognizznce 1 will promise not to touch lquor again, and {f any of the of- ficers see that I bréak my promise they can bring me in.’ “They will very likely do that,” remarked the court. “Is liquor the cause of your trouble?” , sir. “TN ‘try’ you this time,” concluded the court, and the clerk took his personal bonds. James Pinkney, a young colored man, charged with disorderly conduct, told Judge Taylor that there was trouble in Fenton piace last evening, and he made use of the remark “When you want a policeman you can never find on “That often seems to be the case,” re- marked the court. After further inquiries the court released the defendant on his personal bonds. Rudolph Berdman was tried for the vio- lation of a District ordinance, and @ fine of $10 was imposed. The Tramps and the Melons. “Benning seems to be the headquarters for tramps just now,” said Policeman Bo- land as he glanced at five white and four colored prisoners who were charged with being vagrants. “The numerous watermelon and mush- melon patches in that vicinity bear evi- dence every morning of having been visited at night. During the day they spend their time in the shade of the woods m spring and within a stones’ throw of some of @he melon patches.” You can hardly expect them to live on the shade,” remarked the judge. “But,” added the officer, “the truckers object ‘to furnishing them in this way. oliceman Dyer gave similar testimony. Sergt. McKeever of the B. and P. rall- road, gave evidence of the trouble the train men’ had with tramps. Most of the prisoners said they were from Virginia. One.of the white men sald he had a home in Alexandria and he was on his way to Baltimore. given as Rooney. .,Do,\you know Annie Rooney?” asked gh. His name was Mr. ."* he replied. Is she your sister?” “No, got a sister, but her name “This man had a piece of soap, a comb, a small package of salt and some needles and thread,” said the officer, “the outfit of professional roadster.” “T thought they never used soap,” re- marked the cour, “but the salt would come {2,004 for the canteloupes.

Another prisoner said he was from In- @ianapolis. while still another gave New York as his residencp. “We were going In the country looking for a job to pick peaches,” was their plea. Two of them plead guilty to the charge against them and were let off with a fit- teen days’ sentence, while the others were sent down for thirty days. Sam Spcaee said he wi guilty of being disorderly on the street, and the usual fine was imposed. Promised to Leave Town. Two roughly dressed men, whose names were given as Eugene Smith, alias Leahy, and William Connor, were charged with having been found under suspicious circum- stances on the Bladensburg road last night. One of the men had worked at Strauss’ { hee houses and the officer saw him come rom there with a bundle of clothing, which he hid beneath a tree in Graceland ceme- |tery. ‘There was nothing to show that the the most prominent man in Alex- | clothing did not belong to him, and the men | promised to leave town today {f the court would give them a chance to do so, and they were released. Others Se Down. Fllen Smith and Clara Brown, the latter a colored woman, were arraigned for vag- rancy and they plead guflty. “These women,” said Bailiff Kendig, “are old timers.” “Thirty days each,” was the remark of the court. Mortimer Lawrence went to the agricul tural grounds yesterday after a hard day’ work and was resting himself when Special Officer Moffatt ‘arrested him. a He was released on his own recognizance.

Interesting Items From the Neigh- borhood of Rockville, Md. At the regular quarterly meeting of Montgomery County Grange, at Brown- ingsville, there was a large attendance. During an animated discussion on the best method of working public roads, several members of the order advocated using per- Sons confined in jail, and the House of Cor- rection to break stone, as it would lessen the expense of working the roads, and also keep a good many petty criminals out of Prison, especially violators of the local op- tion law. A committee was appointed to agitate the question of a reassessment of the property of the county prior to the election of members of the next legisla. ture. Messrs. Chas. R. Hartshorne, Edw. J. Chiswell and Jos, B. Ager were ap- pointed a committee to take into consid- eration the subject, and make a report at the next meeting, as to whether the repeal of the Sherman silver purchase law, the free coinage of silver, or a paper currency, based entirely on the bonds of the govern- ment would be the best financial policy for the government. The ofticers elected at the previous meeting were installed, and the range adjourned to meet at Barnesville in etober. The following gentlemen have been ap- pointed to represent this county in the lemocratic state convention at Baltimore: W. Veirs Boule, jr. Lyde Griftith of Wash- ington, Boute Waters, Alex.

A Visitor's Recollections of the Old Mansion in Maple Square. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In a recent issue of The Star I noticed a reference to the home of “Olivia” Briggs, and it recalled a cherished recollection of last September's encampment. For years I had wished to visit Mrs. Briggs, and one wet morning I gratified my desire. Maple Square mansion 1s a real colonial home, in which the elegant yet simple manners of former times are in every day use, Under the old trees Lafayette doffed his plumed helmet to fair ladies. The lawn was the retreat of the capital city’s belles and beaus “sixty years since.” Webster, Van Ness, Wirt, Calhoun, discussed the na- tion's business in that old portico. ‘That this estate is preserved to the pres- ent day, the people of Washington should be highly gratified; for it is more instruc- tive than all the maps and books that can be produced descriptive of the Washing- ton that is no more. “Successively Maple Square has been the property of Maj. Nicholson, J. M. Clay, Count Pourtales, and Mrs. Emile Briges, the present owner. A part of the house was built more than @ century ago of bric! ht from England. Pirhe entire structure is an antl uated pile of whitewashed brick, with tiled Foof, rambling additions, and @ court yard, suggestive of the homes of old England. Without the introduction of a vestibule the front doors open Into the wide hall on the left of which is the massive stair- wah fair ‘The exterior of Maple Square fs a index to the Interior. No modernism mars the charm of antiquity. The Ubrary rep. resents about as fine a collection of books as I say in any private house, in Wash- ington. The room is spa a bhi furnished with @ view to comfort s Il as elegance. “he parlors are extensive, imposing apart; ments, “more than a hundred years old, Mrs, ‘Briggs remarked. And many liant gatherings have they witnessed. ‘The ball room, which joins the parlors, contains some curious bric-a-brac. Many valuable paintings, some of them com- memorating scenes of historic interest, adorn the walls. One picture that particu- larly engaged my attention represented a hunting party starting from the doors of Mt, Vernon: ‘The court yard fs in a fine state of pres- ervation and so entirely free from Innova- tion that I half expected a turbaned head to peep from somewhere as we inspected it. ‘The dining room is large and cheery and, like the other apartments, complete in its ancient equipment. A ‘ponderous side- board occupies one corner and is almost covered with massive plate. | The cozy breakfast room inspired delightful interest, but not more than the t kitchen with {ts painted floor and Walls, hung with pol- ished utensils. From the long back porch we overlooked the luxuriant park. In spite of the rain workmen were pre- paring the grounds for the entertainment given the veterans on the next evening. Many comrades, I know, recollect that cor- dial reception, which added another to the patriotic memories of the old house. Some of the “boys” had seen the place before. During those dark days when Washington was both threatened and defended by her sons Maple Square was opened to the sick and wounded, and “Olivia” was an untir- ing benefactress. vs wy eorgia E. Wharton, Branchville, Md., August 1. Arrested Without Cause. John P. Quill, a resident of the neighbor- hood of North Capitol and G streets, and Policeman Creagh of the sixth precinct are not on friendly terms. The result of the bad feeling was the arrest of Quill last evening for no apparent cause, as Quill and his friends asserted at the trial in the Police Court this morning. Disorderly con- duct and assault were the charges agaii Quill, who was defended by Lawyer Well It appeared in proof that Quill preferred charges against the officer only a short time ago, of which charges the officer was acquitted. Last night Quill and several friends were standing near a fence engaged in conversa- tion when Creagh came along and ordered them to move on. Quill did not move as soon as the officer wanted him to, and the latter grabbed him. The prisoner then grabbed the fence and demanded to know why he was arrested. His demand was not complied with, and the officer tooted his whistle loud enough to arouse the neighbor- hood. No one was injured in the pulling match. On behalf of Quill it was claim that the officer was persecuting him. Witnesses in the case gave evidence fav- orable to Quill, and Judge Mills also de- cided in his favor. In so deciding Judge Mills said that citi- zens have rights as well as policemen, and when @ man is arrested he is entitled to know what charge is against him. Judge Mills said there was evidently some i) feeling existing between the officer and Quill, and he saw no justification what- ever for the arrest. Both charges were dismissed, ee The Will of the Late A. H. Evans. ‘The will of the late Alexander H. Evans, which was filed yesterday, leaves his estate to his wife, Maria Matilda Evans, with the request that the patent agency busi- ness of A. H. Evans be carried on by her and his surviving partner. In case Mrs. Evans becomes incapacitated from sick- ness or other cause, the will directs that his daughter, Matilda C. Stevenson, shall assume control of the estate and business. —— Col. Jacob T.
