A few minutes before 8 o'clock Marshal Jones came forth from his headquarters at 1312 Filbert street, followed by about a dozen persons. He paused on the pavement a few moments, and then shouted “March.” The first person to make a move was a big six-footer bearing a See ce ae remblezion, All druggists. ‘The te | The cold, drizzling rain had a dampening book on Dermatology with every cake. od iy | etfect on their ardor, and all but two decid- Aaa aaas aanene lothes Lines roc.

Eleven months ago the Washington and Arlington Railway Company ceased to operate its road through the lack of funds, and up to the present time their four cars have stood in the weather awaiting the action of those having the best right to mov2 them. On Saturday at noon all the company’s property tn Virginia, including the cars, tracks, poles, wires and other equipments, together with the franchise, will be sold at public auction, and two hours later the dynamos, engines and other machinery in the power house in Georgetown, at the cor- ner of 30th and the canal, will be put under the hammer to satisfy the claim of the istees of the bondholders, who have the t claim on the property to the extent of | The trustees of the company are J.

King as president, who bought it for $50, ooo, and the receiver, Mr. Archibald Greens lees, appointed by a court of Virginé one of the District. He has not received much during his occupancy of the office, but has mainly established a sort of a pro- tectorate of the property. The road is operated by the overhead trol- ley system. Should the power-house property not be secured by the purchasers of the road proper, the latter could be operated with- out much inconvenience or unnecessary ex- pense, through power secured from the elec- tric works at the Virginia end of the Chain bridge, or from the Tenleytown Railroad Company. Bad management, it 1s said, contributed largely to the poor success of the company. A Canal Scow. There is being constructed at the canal company’s shops at Hancock a large and cesuy combined scow and ice breaker to be used on the waterway. The deposits brought into the canal through the feeders | and the small streams which empty into it, in addition to the earth torn up and brought in by heavy rains, make it neces- sary to keep a scow in constant use. A Cave In. The continued wet spell yesterday caused @ cave-in on 32d street below Mt. Tabor Church, the culvert under the road that leads from the old Olympic Park to the ravine at the south of the old tan yard losing its solidity and crashing in on the west. Lights and protecting rails were immediately put up by the police. Through the culvert down to the creek runs the water from the covered spring, which oc- cupies the center of the park and which formerly supplied the entire section with drinking and household water. Railroad Extension, The West Virginia railroad, which is now being extended through Williamsport on the canal to Hagerstown, it is claimed by some inside railroad men, will, at a date not far distant, be brought from the city of the canal down the valley of the Potomac to Georgetown, in spite of the operations of the Baltimore and Ohio Company. Through an act of the legislature of Maryland,passed nearly two years ago,it is claimed the West Virginia road acquired the right to use the bed of the canal for railroad purposes on the payment of a large sum, but on account of a restraining order issued by Judge Al- vey in the interests of the bondholders of "44, the West Virginia was unable at that time to take possession. Dally a decision is expected in this mat- ter. Real Estate. Geo. W. Offutt yesterday sold to William N. Payne part of lot C, in H. C.

Columbias to Visit the Pen and Pencil Club of Philadelphia, Arrangements are being made for the return game of the pool contest between teams from the Columbia Athletic Club and the Pen and Pe’ Club of Philadel- phia. It will be remembered that in the opening game, recently played at the C. A.

The games will be the first event in the handsome new home of the Pen and Pencil Club, which has just been comple ed, and in celebration thereof the Wa ington club has been promised “a night in Bohemia,” a species of entertainment for which the Pen and Pencil Club is noted. Base Ball Notes. Catcher McMahon, because of illness, has left Washington for his home. It is ex-| pected that he will be gcne a week or more. Jack Crooks, the second baseman recently released by St. Louis, today telegraphed Manager Schmelz asking for a trial. The answer was that there is no position open to him. Manager Murray of Providence is after Sam Wise, and the Macon, Ga., club has wired Mr. Schmelz to learn what terms Wood and Stricker will accept. No game will be played this afternoon, but tomorrow and Saturday the Washingtons will cross bats with the Y. M. C.

Why the Star of the Evening Was Coy —A Dissatistied Gathering— Two Knock Down Fights. ‘The young man in the ticket office at the Baltimore and Ohio station found an un- usual run on his supply of tickets to “Highlands” last night. To the uninformed observer “Highland: is simply a place where the train stops, without any visible excuse, but the initiated knew that it was via that infinitesimal speck on the map that the ‘ And the ‘country Club” was to be the scene of gladiatorial contests, such as de- light the modern fancier of the human physique, and ultimately elevate the dra- matic stage. A large number of people got off at the railway platform, which con- stitutes the entire architectural display of the ylace, and stood for a minute and aped the moisture out of its eyes. It was an occasion for overshoes, trarp in the darkness over turf--for the Country Club is too con- sisteatly rural to provide itself with lamp posts—was accomplished in unshaken good | nature. There was a jam inside the bar room, whose furnishings were positively e in their simplicity, caused by the desire of a hundred people to get through the 7x3 door that led to the arena, sigiul- taneously. When the crowd was seated on the pine boards, which were arranged stair-step fashion to serve as seats, it counted up to a hundred and fifty people. The Ring. Four lanterns hung over the ring in the center where the deeds of glory were about to be enacted. It was a mild-mannered and orderly assemblage, with a few of the typical toughs in it, and a good many of the “Birtle the lamb” type—young men nner and “thinking he is a devil of a fel- and he isn’t.” Most of those present e evidently stimulated by a genuine in- t in pugilism, Ned Cartwright an- request of a number of gentlemen Mr.Sutphen would act as referee.

With the enthusiasm of | the impressario, who secures the best talent available even if he has to pawn his sus- bender buckles to compensate them, these people had promised more money than they could pay. The purse was short. Mr. Bateman himself made a speech. He said simply that he could get more money for fights, and he wasn't going to work for less. He didn’t say what union he belonged to, but his motives were evi- dently strong. Kelly was willing to fight, but Bateman went back to his camp stovl and sulked in a way that would have made Achilles ashamed of himself. Finally a col- lection was taken up in the crowd, and some money was gathered, but not much, the general impression being that the man- agement and not the patrons were respon- sible for purses, A Compromise. A long delay followed, during which more collections were taken up, one of them go- genuine contest was the hero of the hour. Bateman presently offered a compromise that did credit to his mercantile ability and measured off a few yards of fight, just enough to be worth the money he was get- ting, and no more. At first this was ob- jected to, but it was the best to be had. The lads stepped into the ring with large gloves, Whose shifting, voluptuous curves as they rers made the occasion as pretty as a ser- pentine dance. It was without doubt one of the finest upholstery exhibitions ever of- fered the public. ‘The four rounds were sparred, and much interest was shown, especially by a power- | ful-voiced young man, about whose massive intellect the idea that somebody was white- | livered had tenaciously wrapped itself, and whose existence was bent on sharing his impressions with his fellowman. At the conclusion of the four rounds the fight was declared a draw and the crowd ploughed its way through the slough of despond that lies between the Country Club and the rail- way station, and awaited the deliberate and majestic pleasure of the homeward-bound train. The Country Club may yet do a great work of reform by convincing many people that pugilism is a very unsatisfac- tory and unprofitable pursult. were not held responsible for the fiasco, but the management, or want of manage- ment, was criticised and derided in terms much more expressive than elegant or complimentary. sone ———_—_—_ WORKHOUSE ME Two Star Boarders Returned to Their Old Home. Michael Larhady renders himself amena- ble to the vagrancy law at regular inter- hard-working man when he is sober, but Mr. Cartwright. He was a 1, trimly-built, light-stepping who did his work carefully and :thout any embarrassment whatever. The first encounter was to be between two col- ored boys. “Jersey” Soon They were introduced as “Jersey” Jones and George Banks, “Jersey,” notwithstand- ing his Wild West name, looked as if he were suffering from a bad case of stage fright. He remained with the party only a little while. Possibly he had been to Sun- | day school during his career, and just at that critical moment there flashed’ across his recoliection the memory of old admoni- tions that it is wrong to fight. When his antagonist gave him a small punch he laid himself down in the sawdust and refused to get up. His only desire was to get away. He looked as if he would have sprinted all the way to Fogey Bottom if it had not been for the walls, Mr. Sutphen refused to allow the fight to go on, and no doubt won “Jer- sey” Jones’ eternal affection by so doing. Haley and Brown, The next bout was between a white man end a colored man, Dick Haley and Young Lirown, respectively. The negro 1s a stocky youth, with well distributed muscles, and eft. an easy way of balancing himseif, that made him at times lock like a bronze| statue. He embellished Mr. Haley's face nd in a short time won the anding the fact that the cheers of the audience were not with him at any sta of the proceedings. Jim Jaynien of Washington and Sam Gray | of Philadelphia did not appear. Nally and Moore. A long and tedious wait followed, during rs of the affair were re-| minded, in language more or less sarcastic, | expressive and inelegant, that the crowd had paid their money for fights and not in- termissions. At length, it was announced Mr. Billy Nally of this city and Mr. | Moore of Wiimington, Del. figat six rounds, and the crowd t down for a real good thin, dience was not disappointed, for, ai fight, notwith: ugh the fight was exceedingly short, it was, as a explained by Nally ‘gent, dot stuff, see!” ently twenty or twenty-five than his opponent,and when jena was called he was made a ten to eight avorite, Moore clearly appreciated the fact that | he was at a decided disadvantage, and! When the gong rang the men fiddled about for the greater part of the round, Nally | standing still in the middle of the ring, hends: down, waiting for his man to make move, Finally, Nally led with his right, landing lightly, and then followed quite a | lively exchange, with honors about even. More fiddling followed,and the round ciosed with no real effective blow being struck. At the call of time for the second round both men jumped at each other as if they meant to make it very short. A rapid ex. change followed, in which, much to the surprise of about every man present, Moore knocked Nally down with a straight right. | Hilly was up in a second, and after one or two passes rushed his man to his corner, knocking him down with a heavy right jab on the head. Moore lost no time in getting up, but the moment he regained his feet Nally again rushed him with right and left, again Kngcking the Wilmington man down with a right-hand blow on the ear This time Moore took his time in rising, while Nally stood over him ready to again land his terrible right the moment the fallen man_ stood up. Getting upon his hands and knees, Moore suddenly sprang | away from beneath his burly antagonist | and put up his hands. Nally was after him | in a flash, and, breaking down Moore's guard, rushed him about the ring, hitting him with right and left, apparently at will With a sharp left he sent the Wilmington man to the floor, and as he regained his feet landed a terrific right on the jaw. | Moore fell at full length backward, “and | rolling over on his face, lay there until the | referee had slowly counted the fateful ten | seconds. A moment after he had been counted out and the fight awarded to Nally Moore slowly arose and walked to his cor- ner, when Nally ran over to him and most affectionately embraced him, while one en- thusiastic individual urged him to kiss his defeated opponent. Mr. Nally, however, declined to follow the ‘advice ‘given, and | jumped out of the ring, while Moore fol- jowed suit, although not so sprightly. Not Down on the Bills, The next event was to be a ten-round bout between Joe Bateman of Washing- ton and Jack Kelly of Wilmington, Del. There was a long delay and it became evident that something had gone wrong. in a philanthropic desire to let the au- dience see somebody in the ring a man in his shirt sleeves strolled in. He made significant movements with his hands, which showed the instinct of the sparrer, and also movements with his feet and} legs, which showed t he was rather drunk. Ancther man slipped in and they preceeded to spar gently with open han at first. But the ungoverned enthusiasm | of the amateur pursued them and they were soon engaged in what many con- sidered the on): fisht of consequence of | the evening. The second man was soberer than his challenger and so had the best of it. But both were knocked down, and before they could shake hands each was selzed by living hands and dumped on the side of the ropes where he belonged. ‘The silence be- came tedious.

Called Into the Ring. At the referee's solicitation the two feath- er weights, from whose efforts the event of the evening was expected, were called into the ring. He wisely of the opinion that if the crowd couldn't see the fight they might enjoy looking at the quarrel. They were contemplated with interest not only by the men, but by two women, who, from the seclusion of a small square window, looked over the scene, It was soothing to have this gentie shade of refinement in a picture that was otherwise brutal and for- bidding. think it's awful cruel, don’t you?” said replied the other, But I'll bet lit- whips.” man refused to fight.

Mike was at large a few days last month and the appearance of warm weather at that time induced him to shave off his beard, but two days ago, when ne got out of the workhouse, the cold rain storm was too much for him, and he resorted to his old method to keep warm. Late last night he was on Pennsylvania avenue “boning everybody for money,” so the policeman said. That was why he placed him under arrest and caused his ap- pearapce in Judge Kimball’s court this morning. “You are charged with being a vagrant,” read the clerk. “What say you; are you | guilty or not guilty? ot guilty of that charge,” he answered, “but [ was drinking.” “When did you get out?” the court in- quired, “Tuesday.” How much time did you have last time?” ‘ifteen days, your honor,” answered Mike, “and if you let me go this time I'll do better; I'M stop. The police won't give me hi a chance, anyhow.” “Don’t say that,” added the court. “If you seve yourself half a chance, you would keep out of trouble. Let whisky alone and you will have no reason to complain.” Thirty days was his sentence. Mitchell Wood is the name of a colored man who also lives on the farm.

He is constitutionally posed to manual labor, and he takes di perate chances in his efforts to enlist the sympathy of citizens, Mitchell thinks no more of tumbling off a street car in order to impose on the charity of the passengers than Lanhady thinks of taking a five-cent “hummer.” “Last night on Pennsylvania avenue he pretended that he was sick and wanted to be sent to the hospital,” said Officer Kim- mell, “but that racket Is played out with us, and I arrested him.” “Well, Mitchell said Judge Kimball, ou get out?” yesterday afternoon.” ziven fifteen days on the farm, » will be released just in time to join Henry Chapman was the third member of the trio of alleged vagrants.

Friendship Lodge celebrated the sixteenth anniversary of its institution on Monday evening. Melford Hall, at 8th and I streets norther st, was crowded.

A SENATE AGREEMENT It Binds Senators Whether They Are Present or Not. ™ Peffer Gives His Views on the ‘Tariff—Mr. Quay Makes a Mis- take and Withdraws. ‘The session of the Senate yesterday after noon was not without its little flurry of interest, ‘which seems ¢estined to break |into the deadly dullness of the tariff de- bate despite all agreements to the con- trary between the opposing sides, When Mr. Peffer began the second installment of his speech there was a fair attendance of Senatcrs on both sides of the chamber, but they gradually melted away and at one time there was only one democrat, one re- publican and one populist visible on the floor. At that point Mr. Quay raised the ques- tion of no quorum, when Mr. Harris re- marked that he regarded that suggestion as a violation of the agreement reached om Tuesday that the tariff bill should be com | sidered between 1 and 5 o'clock each day without any dilatory motions. Mr. Man- derson agreed with Mr. Harris in his un- derstanding of the agreement, but re- marked that one Senator from’ the ma- jority and three from the minority could hardly be called the Senate of the United States. Mr: Quay explained that he did not un- |derstand that there had been any agree- ment and asked leave to withdraw his suc- gestion, but the ball had been started ro!l- jing and could not be so easily checked. |Mr. Wolcott said he did not understand that an agreement between Senators Harris {and Aldrich bound the rest of the Senate, |and he for one should not hesitate to move |an adjournment, an executive session or to jobtain a quorum. Senators Manderson and Harris explained that according to the | universal custom of the Senate an agrec- j|ment made by unanimous consent bound |all Scnators, whether or not they were present when the agreement was reached, jand Mr. Wolcott subscribed to this tradi- | tional doctrine. Senator Dolph made the point of order that the question of a quo- rum having been raised could not be with- drawn and the presiding officer (Mr. Allen) sustained the point in spite of the protests jof Mr. Quay, who apologized for uninten- tUonally violating the agreement. Enough Senators came in during the roll call to make a quorum, but before Mr. Peffer was allowed to resume his speech an | attempt was made to insert some extrane- | ous matters, which Mr. Harris objected to. “Will the Senator allow me to present @ petition?” asked Mr. Chandler. “I will not,” said Mr. Harris, decidedly. “I am very sorry,” replied Mr. Chandler, | “for I had none to present.” Whereat there | was a laugh at the expense of Mr. Harris, in which the Senator from Tennessee him- | self joined. __ Mr. Peffer then resumed his speech, in the | course. of which he said that the bill dit- _criminated against the farmer and that | the only the agricultural classes ask- ed was they should receive protection | a8 the manufacturers did. j He said it was out of order to call the Wilson bill @ tariff reform measure and be criticised free wool, claiming that the farm- er was not benefited nor was any one el The pending bill was not a bill for prot tion nor for revenue and the democraéy could take no pride in its passage. At 5 o'clock the tariff bill was suspended. Mr. Vilas asked to be relieved as chairman of the committee on the quadro-centennfal and Mr. Walsh, the new Senator, was ap- pointed to the vacated chairmanship and | Was also made a member of the following additional committees: Post offices and post roads, relations with Canada, national | banks and private land claims, and Mr. ette badges, made of silver.

To the Editor of The Prening Star: The public have reason to rejoice over the Passage of the gas bill by the House yester- day, and they owe many thanks to those members who secured Its passage. I waa, however, surprised to see the chairman of the committee object to the increase of the candle power, as that was one of the things specially urged by Dr. Ford, the inspector. When I showed to the committee the profit realized by the city of Richmond, which owns and runs its gas works, it was stated by the chairman in reply that Richmond ha: but 300 street lamps. I doubted the correct ness of his information, and so wrote to Mayor Ellyson for information on that and some other points. I have just received from the superintendent of the gas works, to whom the mayor referred my letter, the official printed report for 1892, the latest published, and it gives the number of street lamps at 1,634. It gives the cost, inclading coal used, the pay roll and all other ex- penses, at $106,046.79, and the receipts for gas and coke sold at $215,204.08, a net profit of $49,157.24. To this must be added the cas used for the 1,634 street lamps and the for- ty-one public buildings, and which, at the same rate as paid by citizens, amounted to $58,985.12; thus giving to the city a net Profit of $108,092.36. At that time they made all coal gas, but since September last they make one-third water gas. The price is now $1 per 1,000 feet, and is twenty-two canile power. Since my statement of a week ®Z0, in regard to gas in Philadelphia, I am ia. formed by the director of public works, that parties there have offered to sell gas to the city at rates varying from 25 to 87 cents per 1,000 feet, delivered in the holders or maing W.
