B. J. SCHUTZ, 1413 G STREET. 6 Base Ball Notes. Ed. Cartwright,W. L. Hassamer and John MacMahon are the latest signatures to con- tracts with the Washington base ball club. Says the Sporting Life: Shortstop John MacMahon, signed by Gus Schmelz for Washington, is a cracking good fielder, but nothing near so good a batsman as Joe Sullivan. New York would like to get Farrell. A correspondent says: If Charley Farrell could be secured from the Washingtons, he'd come pretty near filling the bill as Rusie’s backstop, and 1 think there's a chance for him at that. Charley West, last season's Chattanooga Club ground keeper, will likely take care of the Washington grounds next year, as Man- ager Schmelz likes his style, and will prob- | ably sign him. | Manager Schmelz announces that under} no circumstances will Farrell or Joyce be traded to any other club. The caliber of the men signed thus far by Washington is regarded in local base ball circles as pretty light.

MUCH FUN FOR THE BOYS. “My sakes alive,” remarked Mrs. Camel, as she poked her attenuated Grecian nose up against the slats of her car and sniffed large gulps of air from the tidal reservoir | at 10 o'clock this morning, “I do not ap- prove of this change at all. I can’t for the life of me see why they moved us down here. I just doted on Philadelphia; it was so calm and dignified. I theroughly disap- prove of this horde of people watching me through the slats. In Philadelphia they would—"" “My dear,” murmured her better half, stroking his hump with his off hind foot, “you are too critical this morning. Why don’t you set a more proper example for your young son there? I'm sure he should be considered.” There was no response. Mrs. Camel was still gazing through the slats of the great yellow car that had just brought them to this city from the place of her choice. Her gaze fell upon a bleak railroad yard down on Maryland avenue southwest. Mrs.Camel did not know just where she was, for she had no angle on the lamp post at the corner. So she took things on trust. Within the car was a curious collection of beasts. Her young son, barely six months old, pressed to her side, and her worthy husband swapped stories with three other camels that strongly resembled old ragged rugs draped over ciothes-horses. Tucked in A Select Audience. between were a number of llamas, some goats with enormous horns and three or four sacred cows. The latter appeared su- | perior to their surroundings and edged away | from their worldly companions as far as possible. In the other end of the car were four boxes of monkeys, a box of birds, a package of kangaroos, one prize package containing a whopping big kangaroo, and away behind these boxes was a neat little zebra. The monkeys chattered incessantly, the birds twittered and there arose from the car a sound that could never be described. The circus had come to town. What It Really Was. At a quarter before 10 o'clock this morn- ing a short train pulled into the freight station at the corner of 9th street and Maryland avenue southwest. It consisted of two long flats, on each of which were four canvas-covered wagons, such as tanta- lize small boys in the summer time when the odor of sawdust and peanuts scents the air. Next came a tremendous caravan, the home of the animals just alluded to. Then followed a beer refrigerator car, but that has nothing to do with the story. It was a highly moral show that had rolled | to town. In brief, the Forepaugh animals that are to winter at the Zoo had reached the city, and a great gang of laborers and watchers—mainly the latter—had gathered to receive them. After a little delay caused by the shifting of the cars, the men went at work in earnest to unload the cages. Great skids were planted at the end of the foremost flat and the temporary homes Getting the Camels on. of the animals were rolled smoothly and swifly down to the level of the street. A rope passed around an iron bar at the side formed a brake to prevent too great speed. As fast as they reached the ground the cages were provided with teams of horses and mules, that sniffed the air suspiciously as they approached the vicinity of their mortal enemies within. Presently there was quite a show gathered on C street waiting for the final start. The Debarkation. The big yellow car had been switched around behind the freight offices, and after all the cages had been unloaded a covered wagon was backed up to the central door and the process of getting out the creatures was begun. This was more difficult than the other job. Mrs. Camel nad her own views about the matter and her sire had others. The llamas were of one mind—to the effect that they were all right where they were, and entered several strenuous protests against being transferred to the wagons. The zebra had long before made up his mind that his stripes looked better inside the car, and he gave a very merry exhibition of hoofs when he _— led down the gang plank to the mu Taking Off the Hippopotam Of course the monkeys and kangaroos and birds had nothing to say, being in boxes. The former chattered more crossly than ever, and various little brown paws were to be seen at the air holes their owners grasped for support to keep them from being cast away in the swaying com- partment. In the first wagon went the sacred cows, the goats and a llama or two. They were tied securely after some struggling, and the end of the wagon was plugged up with two boxes of monkeys. The second wagon held one less llama than was at first intended, for the individual selected to go into it raised a terrible row, and endangered the health of the young colored man who was having a wrestling match with him. So he was led back to the car—the Ilama, not the man—and reserved for the grand street parade. The big Kangaroo did not fit a small wagon that had been reserved for him: so he was left for later transportation in a van. Other than that, all about a hundred in number, were sent out to the Zoo. ‘The Parade to the Zoo. In an hour and a half*after the train had arrived the entire outfit had been cor- raled on C street, and the grand march to the Zoo was started. First there was Mr. Blackburn, the head keeper ofgthe park, in a buggy. Then rolled the eight great cages with their canvas covers, followed by the two vans filled with the animals, | varigated assortments of beasts. Then marched the zebra, under the charge of one of the Forepaugh keepers from Philadelphia, quiet and docile, but watchful for tricks. Then there were the three gentlemen camels, finishing off their stories that had been interrupted by the embarkation. In their wake strode Mrs. Camel, still very much perturbed, and paying scarcely any attention to her offspring as he ambled alongside. In the rear was the excitable Mama, led by a man who was acquainted with his habits of thought, and behind all was a crowd of several hundred thousand youngsters, more or less, making noise enough for several million. A Rear Elevation. With the animal train came Mr. George Arstingstall, who is in charge of the animal department of the Forepaugh show,Mr. Mc- Laughlin, the master of transportation, and two keepers. They will stay until tomorrow night, to see the animals safely installed at the Zoo, and then they will return to Phila- delphia, where the show has its winter quarters. Some Big Animals. The eight cages that were covered con- tained all sorts of wild beasts. There was a hippopotamus and a rhinoceros, the latter making a terrific racket by trying to chew the bars of his cage in twain. Then one lion and a tiger occupied separate com- partments. There were also some antelopes and deers. The creatures that could live together had been crowded into the same cages for the trip, and gave audible signs of their dissatisfaction with the arrange- ment. In all there was material for a first-class menagerie. The monkey boxes held upward of sixty of these supposed ancestors of the human race. Mr. Arstingstall said that he could not give a complete and accurate cen- sus of the collection, for they had been bundled together in somewhat of a hurry, and he had not made his final list yet. The cages are to be ptied this afternoon at the Zoo, and the animals installed as comfortably as possible for the winter. THE NEW ADJUTANT GENERAL. Sketch of the Gal! George D. Ruggles. Gen. George D. Ruggles, who succeeds Gen. Williams as adjutant general of the army, was born in Newburg, N. Y., and appointed a cadet to the Military Academy from Poughkeepsie, N. Y., in 1851. During the war he served as chief of staff and ad- jutant general, Army of Virginia; as as- sistant chief of staff under Gen. McClellan, Was in Secretary Stanton’s office in 1863,and was adjutant general of the. Army of the Potomac till that army was disbanded in 186. He participated in ten or twelve of the most important battles of the war, was brevetted brigadier general for gallant services during the closing campaign around Richmond, leading to the surrender of Lee's army at Appomattox. + es woop: SHIPS The old wooden ships of the navy are grad- ually being retired from active service. The flagship Lancaster fs now on her last cruise. When relieved by the Baltimore she will re- turn to New York and be transformed into a receiving ship, to take the place of either the Minnesota or Vermont, which are both in a state of decay. Another ship that will soon follow the Lancaster to the graveyard of all old naval vessels is the Alliance, now at San Jose. She will leave in the next few weeks for New York, and is also to serve as a receiving ship. The Marion, Mohican, Adams and Yantie are still in service, but their days are numbered. The Yantic is in the South Atlantic and will return home shortly to be placed out of commission. She is now on her last cruise. The Adams is not good for many more months, and the Marion is little better. There will be two wooden vessels in the navy for many years, however, as, by special act of Congress, the Hartford and the Kearsarge are exempted from the repair limit of ten per cent and will thus be saved. The Hartford ts being rebuilt and will prove a good vessel for many years, and the Kearsarge is now in fair condition. But with the exception of thesg two every wooden ship in the navy will disappear within the next year or two. es = NECK BROKEN AT FOOT BALL. The First Casualty of the Season Re- ported From the West. The foot ball game at Delevan, Wis., be- tween the Deu! and Dumb Asylum eleven and the Beloit team was won by the latter, the score being 18 to 8. During the progress of the game the Beloit men had the ball and were rushing it toward the Delevans’ goal. J. L. Peterson, one of the mutes, fell and a number of others were forced onto the prostrate body. When his friends picked him up life was extinct, his neck having been broken. The Princeton College daily, in its latest issue, contains a stinging arraignment of the methods of the Pennsylvania players, and claims that their main object seemed to be to “slug and knee the Princeton men on every occasion.” But few of the regulars will play in today’s game with Orange A. C. at Orange. It will take some of the players @ week to get into good shape for the game. TO TEST THE LAW. The Olympic Club Wants the Corbett- Mitchell Fight. The Olympic Club of New Orieans has determined to make every effort to secure the Corbett-Mitchell fight. While the club will not give a guarantee that the fight will come off, it offers to pay the training ex- penses of the men, whether there is a battle or not. The executive committee of the club has passed a resolution laying aside $5,000 for legal services. Two of the best known lawyers in the city wil be engaged in case any attempt is made to stop the contest. The club determined to so arrange matters that the contest will come within the limits of the law. The club will propose to the governor to have the matter submitted to the courts, and determine in advance, instead of hay- ing him interfere at the eleventh hour. If the contest is illegal the club will abandon it. If the court decides that the fight is permitted by the laws of Louisiana the governor shail not interfere. It is thought that this matter can be decided in the next few days. An agreement has been signed by Billy Thompson, representing Charles Mitchell, the English pugilist, and W. A. Brady, rep- resenting James J. Corbett, which will probably have the effect of bringing off the big international fight in the Olympic Club at New Orleans. The fight is to take place on December 18 for a purse of $20,000, win- ner to take all + ersonal Mention.

A THOUSAND VICTIMS Latest Details of the Santander Calamity. SAD SCENES IN THE MOURNING CITY, Subscriptions Started for the Re- lief of Sufferers. BURYING MANGLED REMAINS. MADRID, Nov. 7.—The latest details con- cerning the terrible disaster at Santander on Friday last show that the number of dead, missing and wounded is fully 1,000. The people have not yet recovered from the effects of the catastrophe and are en- tirely apathetic, paying no attention to business, but standing about the streets discussing in low tones the awful calamity that has befallen the city. Men and women living near the water front who providen- tially escaped from the wrecking of their homes can be seen in numbers standing near the huge masses of debris that fill the streets waiting to recover the bodies of those that are known to be under the ruins, ‘The scenes everywhere in the vicinity of where the destruction was wrought by the exploding dynamite are sad in the ex- treme, and whenever a body crushed and mangled beyond recognition is removed from the ruins a heart-rending wail goes up from the women, who fear that the shapeless mass of flesh may be all that re- mains of one of their loved ones. There is no doubt that many of the dead will never be. identified. Senor Gamazo, who at once proceeded from Madrid to Santander when the extent of the calamity became known, is doing everything in his power to awaken the authorities to the fact that they must arouse themselves and set about repairing the damage the city has sustained. soon as he arrived he summoned the town officials and expressed to them the sympa- thy of the government. He also assured them of the sympathy of the queen regent, who, he said, had wept upon hearing of the calamity that had be- fallen the thriving city. Senor Gamazo in Charge. When Senor Gamazo saw how helpless the authorities were in the crisis con- fronting them he in a great measure took the administration of affairs into his own hands. He telegraphed at once to Valla- dolid ordering that medical stores, nurses and other helpers be at once sent to San- tander, Subscriptions for the relief of the suf- ferers were started and $5,000 on behalf of the government, through Seror Gamazo was secured. Many of the dead were buried yesterday. Among the bodies interred was the headless and mutilated remains of the Marquis de Pomba. The visitors were attended by large crowds of people. Many distressing scenes were witnessed. Many of the frag- ments of bodies found in the vicinity of tne quay were buried in a common grave. Divers who were employed to recover the bodies in the bay have been so appalled at the number of the dead and gruesome appear- ance of the corpses that they have refused to continue their work and have prayed the officials not to insist upon their carry- ing out their engagements. The authori- lies granted their petition and now men in boats with grappling irons are employed in searching for the dead who were blown into the bay. Some of the bodies upon cur- sory examination show that death was caused by drowning and not by the shock of the explosion. It is surmised that a number of persons were rendered partially unconscious by the explosion and their bodies thrown far out into the harbor. They, of course, were Crowned, for in the terrible confusion no one thought of attempting to save the lives of those thrown into the water. In fact those near the scene were thrown into a wild panic and had no thought of saving any one but themselves. Loriga, a Spanish naval officer, states that when the fire broke out on the Cabo Machicaco he, with a number of other naval officers, went alongside the steamer to lend their aid in extinguishing the fames, The commander of the port finding that it was impossible to fight the fire with the means at hand, gave orders that the steam- er be towed from the quay and scuttled. The fire spread so rapidly, however. that it Was impossible to get towing lines fast. Then the commander of the port ordered that the steamer be sunk alongside the quay. Cccks were opened allowing water to flow into her, but the water entered slowly. The vessel began to sink, by the head, but in the meartime the fire con- tinued to spread aft, burning fiercely. The captain ef the Alfonso XII, seeing that it would take considerable time for the vessel to sink, entered a launch with a number of his men, carrying tools to cut through the plates of the Cabo Machicaco for the purpose of giving freer access to the water. At this time Senor Loriga left the quay for a few minutes. He pushed his way through the crowd that had gathered to witness the novel spectacle of a steamer on fire, and when the explosion occurred, he says he remembers hearing a_ terrific roar, and then he fell, half stunned, under a cart. He does not doubt that the vehicle saved his life, for as he fell a shower of rails,bars, joists and other wreckage passed through the air, where ine had been stand- ing, mowing down the spectators like grass. The Cabo Machicaco for an instant was lifted clean out of the water. The forward part of her hull warped about and curved toward the stern, and, falling back into the bay, she sank. The craft lying in her vi- cinity heeled over with immense holes blown in her sides and as she righted quick- ly filled and sank. Senor Loriga adds that when he regained full possession of his senses he found the dead and dying lying around him in every direction. Buildings along the water front had been wrecked and as he looked he saw a number of them tottering to their fall as the frightened inmates. with terror pic- tured on their faces, sought to make their Nescape. In some cases they had almost reached stone and bricks came toppling upon them and their cries of fear were suddenly hush- ed beneath the debris. The air was mo- mentarily darkened with clouds of dust, and then long tongues of flame ascended from the wrecked buildings and in a few min- utes the whole water front in the vicinity of the scene of the explosion was a mass of fire. A Scene Beyond Description. The scene that followed passes descrip- tion. The houses that were left standing had every window smashed. Roofs, many of them tiles, had disappeared, and little but walls of the houses were left standing. Men,women and children, frantic with fear, ran aimlessly to and fro, crying, scream- ing and wringing their hands helplessly. The panic, terrible in its intensity, lasted for hours, and when the people realized the full extent of the disaster that had befallen them they were paralyzed. During the night the ghouls that infest every city, sneaked about the ruins, stripping the dead and wounded of their clothing and valu- ables. The thieves entered the dismantled houses and seized and carried off furnt- realize money upon. There are few families in the city that escaped without furnishing one victim. a, A GREAT CHESS MATCH. Arranging for a Contest Between Steinits d Lasker. The match between Steinitz and Lasker, the chess champions, concerning which speculation has long been rife, is now al- most an assured fact. The conditions are: A purse of $2,500; $1,800 to the winner, and $700 to the loser. 2. A stake of $3,000, with an expense fee of $750 to each player. 3. A reduction of the stake to $1,500, with @ proportionate increase in the purse. Under any of these propositions the play- | ers are to have free passage to and from | Havana. In case of a stake, it is a definite | understanding that the winner shall have one-half the stake earnings. Mr. Steinitz is ready for the match, hav- | ing most of the $3,000 on hand and the bal- |ance assured. It depends on Lasker whether | the match will take place. If there is no hitch, it will occur during the third or | fourth week in December. Mr. Steinitz contemplates a tour of Can- ada in the next few weeks. He will prob- | ably stop at Buffalo on pressing invitation of Gen. Congdon, the well-known chess ex- | Pert. and will preseed thence to Montreal and Quebec.

The lord mayor gave a banquet at the Town Hall at Liverpool last evening in honor of Mr. Bayard, the American ambas- sador. Responding to a toast to gis health, Mr. Bayard said that he was proud of the courtesy extended him by the lord mayor and the municipal officers of Liverpool, be- cause of the representative office he held. He felt that international comity was lit- tle more than international courtesy. This was now recognized to the extent that civ- ilized nations agreed to execute the laws of friendly nations within their own borders when this could be done without injury to their own interests. The strongest feeling that he experienced on coming to England was that every ad- vantage should accrue to this country that was not prejudicial to his own. If the doc- trine of comity was properly expanded It would form a grand bond of union between all mankind and would cause the extension of the best principles of Christian civiliza- tion. He knew of no country with which he | Was so anxious to see the principle of com- |ity established and applied every possible | Kind of contact as in England. | Gen. Collins, the United States consul gen- | eral, responded to the toast, ‘“The Commer- cial Interests of Both Countries.” Gen. Col- lins mentioned the fact that trade had im- proved in the United States and said that | 1ts renewal would be felt here if English-| |men showed themselves to be wise as | their American cousins. ‘The action of | | Congress in repealing the silver purchasing | law had simplified the situation. oo ANTE-ELECTION NOTES. jIssues That Have Not Beem Promi- nently Set Forth. Woman suffrage will be submitted to pop- ular vote in Colorado, and there is good | | reason to believe it will be carried. The j campaign for this cause has been quietly | carried on, and the lady managers hoped | that their still-hunt would not be discov- ered until it was too late for any effectual | fighting against the proposition. The first election under the new consti- tution will be held in Kentucky. For the first time in years the democrats in Louls- | ville have gone to pieces, and the voter is | called upon to choose between the regular | |and independent candidates, with the chances about equally divided. Interest in the coming election in Chi- cago and Cook county today is intense. The principal fight is between the friends and enemies of Judge Gary, candidate for re-election to the superior bench, and Gov. Altgeld, who is generally alleged to be his |personal enemy. The judge is supported by an overwhelming majority of the mem- bers of the bar and by every paper in Chi- cago with one exception. | Today will terminate the quietest state | election ever conducted in Nebraska. There | | are four candidates for supreme court jus- | the republican and the populist nominees. ———___ eee TO RAM THE CID. Mello’s Agents in New York Trying to Hire a Tog. The work of fitting out the steamers De- stroyer, El Cid and Britania for the Brazil- lan navy goes on actively at New York. The El Cid will carry a fifteen-inch gun Icaded with nitro-gelatine and worked by electricity. Tt wi learned late yesterday afternoon that agents of Admiral Mello have been negotiating with the Moran Towing Com- pany of 12 South street, with a view to | securing a couple of stout ocean-going tugs, |to be used, it is believed, to ram the steamer El Cid when the latter has passed a safe distance out from Sandy Hook. The Norristown Steel Company has se- cured the contract for seven large castings for the torpedo guns purchased by the Bra- zilian government from the Pneumatic Tor- pedo and Construction Company. Each gun will discharge 500 pounds of high explosive matter, and the projectiles will be propelled from the guns compressed air. The power is stored in a sphere at the breach of the gun, which is about eight feet in diameter and weighs 13,000 pounds. The metal in the sphere is but two inches thick. The Norristown Steel Company has already made seven of these castings. ee Sixty Three Anarchists Arrested.
