A Spell Was Cast Over the Senators Yesterday. Amos Rusie, the big, genial pitcher of the once great base ball team from the me- trepolis, was handed a small package at the base ball grounds yesterday afternoon. It come from Indianapolis gnd had followed him from New York and Baltimore. It was hurried after him from the hotel, for the profuseness of postal marks.on the package denoted importance and “rush.” Amos was not feeling in particularly good humor. The remnant of the $67,000 Indianapolis remind- ed one of Napoieon at St. Helena, thinking of Blucher’s untimely arrival. But a glad, gurgling laugh broke from him on untying the package. “We've got ’em!” he shouted. He had recovered his rabbit’s foot. The f= door Gon was on communicated to . M.), and the little furry prize was passed around. Of course, game was no longer in doubt. Rusie gen- erously lent his treasure to German, who was in the box for New York. Soon Man- ager Schmelz had to take out Mercer and substitute Maul, but a little rubbing of Ru- sie’s and Maul was made useless. And consequently New York won. Our lo- cal men had an off day. Selbach alone cov- ered himself with credit, both at the bat and in the field. He made a throw to the Plate from right field on catching a fly from Tiernan’s bat that would have caught any runner slower than Van Haltren. It was a throw equal to any of Tredway’s. Washington obtained two runs in the first inning on Ward's miss of KF. Ward's grounder and Joyce’s long drive over the right field fence for a home run. New York did not score untif the third in- ning, when Doyle reached first on balls, stole second and came home when Joyce let German’s grounder go through his legs. In the fourth Washington bagged two more on Van Haltren’s muff, “Johnny” Ward's = throw to first and Selbach’s clean sin- gle. in their half the New Yorks tallied once on Van Haltren’s bunt, a wild pitch and Tiernan’s out to right. Selbach threw straight to the plate, but Van Haltren was given safe on a close call. New York got there with both feet in the fifth, when four runs were made. Burke singled, and just as he started for second Doyle hit safe. German worked a base on balls and little Murphy planted a safe hit to left which scored Burke and Doyle.Ward sacrificed and Murphy went to third, scor- ing when Ward went out at first. The Senators were unable to add to their Score until the ninth, when Cartwright got around on a base on balls and Selbach’s triple over Tiernan’s head. The Giants made their eighth run in the seventh on Joyce’s error of Murphy's grounder, Ward's sacrifice, a steal of third by the “Midget” and Tiernan’s single. In the eighth Burke drew a base on balls, _— singled and Maul missed German's un With the bases filled, Murphy sin, sending in Burke and Doyle. Ward’ nit safely, Maul made a wild pitch and Frank Ward let Tiernan’s grounder get away from him. Tiernan came in with the last run on Davis’ out to center. Score: R.H.E. Wash'n......200200001—-5 56 New York.0 0114116 -14 15 Notes of the Game. Mercer started off well and the team ap- peared to be back of him in his good work, but he weakened and the team melted with him. Secretary Young does not take much stock in the criticism of the umpire from the scorer’s box. He says it is too high up from which to see plays correctly. Joyce’s hit was a beauty, but an off day In his fielding fell to his lot yesterday. But then there are others. Esper should do well against the New Yorks, as there are so many left-handers on the team. He has had a good rest, and may go in today. The base ball cranks of the city appear to be standing by the team in the matter of attendance, a big crowd again turning out yesterday. What a pity it is that they can’t encourage the team as the bleachers over in Baltimore do. When Ward made that error yesterday on a hard chance he was roasted to the queen’s taste, several voices calling for his retirement. Yet a player is expected to do good work under the circumstances. Help the players slong, don't hammer them. McGuire didn’t get in any hits yesterday, but he met the ball every time strong and hard. He caught Ward at second and lost Murphy at third, but the latter gets around the bases like a fly, he seems so email. Yesterday's League Gam Cities. At Brooklyn—Brooklyn, 8; Philadelphia, 2. At Baltimore—Baltimore, 3; Boston, 6. At Cincinnati—Cincinnati, 6; Cleveland, 2 At Louisville—Louisville, 1; Pittsburg, 2 At St. Louis—St. Louis, 13; Chicago, 3. Base Ball Notes. ‘The Brooklyns succeeded in breaking the ice yesterday and won their first cham- Pionship game of the season from Phila- delphia. In the seventh inning Foutz’s boys got their eyes on the ball. Baltimore lost to Boston yesterday on account of miserable fielding. Tony Mul- lane pitched well, striking out eight men and allowing Boston but four hits. The St. Louls Browns hit hard, made no errors and Hawley was effective yesterday, while the Chicagos could not find the ball to hit, the errors were costly and Hutchia- ag put the ball where the Browns wanted in Other it. Stupid base running lost yesterday's game for the Louisville team. Umpire Smart- wood’s decisions caused much dissatisfac- tion on both sides. Denny's third-base play was a feature., Clear and pleasant weather. Attendance, 1,400. Five bases on balls given by Dwyer in the ninth inning, when the score was tied, allowed Cleveland to land six runs and the victory yesterday at Cincinnati.

Special trains ran from Philadel- phia and New York, bringing crowds from cities, Princeton made all her runs in the third inning; McKensie made a home run when the bases were full and two men out. Little Ward at short stop was badly rat- tled, it being his first app2arance in a big game. After’ the fourth inning Brcoks played his position. Altman pitched a good game, only three hits veing made off his delivery. Princeton was handicapped by the absence of Otto at first base. Ward played the position. For Pennsylvania, Geockel at first base did the best work, making two hits and fielding his position well. The score was Pennsylvania, 3; Princeton, 4. Western League Season Opens. The season of the reorganized Western League opened yesterday. Clubs are located in Milwaukee, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Grand Rapids, Sioux City, Toledo, Indianap- olis and Detroit.

Al Johnson and Kelly have been doing some hustling to complete the Allentown team. Mr. Johnson said yesterday the team would be composed as follows: Milli- gan, catcher; Donaghue and Kilroy, pitch- ers; Kelly, first base; Wise, secoad base; Joe Mulvey, third base; Costelio, right field; Pete Browning, left field; Wood, cen- ter field. The shortstop will be from amcng the most likely of the four youag men now there, Matthews, Reese, Moran and Sweeney. Donaghue and Kilroy are right- handed, and there will be another pitcher, a left-hander. “Are you sure Browning will become a member of the team?” was asked of Mr. Johnson. “I’ve been negotiating with him for three weeks and am pretty sure of getting him.” “Are you afraid the team will be badly done up by the Boston champions?” “You can’t expect a team to be doing its very best the first game,” answered Mr. Johnson, “‘but you can bet money the Allentown nine can beat half the big league teams inside of thirty days. You will have lots of chances to see that, too, for we will get a big league team here every open date.” Mr. Johnson was very enthusiastic over tomorrow's game with Boston. Some of the most famous ball enthusiasts in the coun- try will be at Allentown. The game will be umpired by Tim Murnane. Kelly views the toboggan course of the New York Club with cynical satisfaction, and has wired Richard K. Fox that the Allentown team was ready to play the New York nine for $1,000. Clifford Wins the Montgomery Stakes. The last day of the Memphis meeting yesterday was clear and warm. The at- tendance was large. Four of the six races were won by odds on favorites, one by a six to five first choice and one by a five to two selection. Clifford won the Mont- gomery stakes from Yo Tambien and Pey- tonia in a big gallop. THE NEW RACE TRACK. Work Progressing Rapidly on the Stable Buildings. Work is progressing rapidly on the new race course of the Grange Camp Associa- tion at the Virginia end of the Long bridge, and 250 of the 300 stables that are to be erected are finished with the exception cf their doors and the dirt filling of the floors. The grand stand Is rapidly approaching com- pletion, and Contractor Andrew Gleeson has a large force of men at work grading the track, which will be three-quarters of a mile in circumference, and provided with a straight chute five-eighths of a mile long. It is the intention to begin the inaugural meeting week after next, and the announce- ment is made that $1,000 in purses will be put up for each day's races. Applications for stable accommodations bave already been received from many horse owners, among whom are W. P. Burch, with five horses; W. B. Jennings, five; D. Higgins, five; W. T. Althouse of the Phoenix stock farm, twelve; R. Bradley, twenty-two; O. G. Sellman, four; Hugh Hodges, ten; F. K. Hickok, ten; F. Sole, three; F. Doane, four; J. F. Phelan, two; J. A. Weller, five; A. Harris, two; Retreat stable, five, and Clover stable, four. Many other owners have sig- nified their intention of coming, and it is expected that the opening day will see 300 horses or more’ at the track. —_————- A FISHING FLEET LOST. Terrible Havoc C ed by a Storm Off the Irish Coast. Reports of the damage done by the furious gale that raged over the southern part of Ireland Monday night have been received. The loss on land was quite heavy, but more damage was done at sea. Many minor marine casualties are reported. The fish- ABOUT GEORGETOWN. The Proposed Improvement of the M Street Market House. — Extent of the Coal Traffic This Year— Some Recent Real Estate Sales —Other Interesting Notes. Plans for the improvement of the M street market house have been submitted and ac- cepted and the work of reconstructing the building will be begun shortly, it is said. The building has become so dilapidated as to be dangerous to the public. Great cracks that threaten to broaden into breaches are seen in half a dozen places. The front of the building is being held in place by great braces. The market house, when recon- structed, will be but one story high. Only the rear part of the present structure will be allowed to remain. The Coal Trafiic. Last week there were shipped from the mines of Cumberland over the Chesapeake and Ohio canal 8,686 tons of coal. Since the opening of the season there have been shipped 36,436 tons by way of this com- mercial path. During the same period last year 2,607 tons more were shipped. The total amount of coal put out last week by the various mines of Cumberland, and car- ried away by the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania roads, combined with the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, was 94,896 Persistent Policy Players. In spite of the war that has been waged against the policy men, particularly of late, the headquarters over the bridge at Rosslyn are being patronized heavily. So close has been the watch kept up by the officers on the Aqueduct bridge that but a limited number of the supporters of the game are now going that way. The Long bridge and small boats are now being used. One writes openly in a small shanty constructed at the mouth of the culvert, the others in the prominent red-topped building to the left of the bridge. It is said these men re- ceive as their commissions 20 per cent of the amount taken in. They average $18 a day as their compensation. Breaks in the Piz< Vine. In the new pipe ue thet approaches Han- cock on the cyual there were two serious breaks yesterdiy, causing \h+ loss of what is estimated at 3u0 barrels ox :rude oll. The greasy liquid spurted to the weight of fifty feet for nearly two hours, and was only stopped by the shutting down of the forc- ing machinery, the discoverer telegraphing the condition of things. The land for a con- siderable distance will be valueless for ag- ricultural purposes for years, it having be- come completely saturated with the oil for @ surprising distance. Real Estate Matters. John F. Waggaman yesterday sold to H. A. Brawner lots 17, 18 and 19, in Beatty and Hawkins’ addition, square 107, being a part of the recently graded Fenwick’'s hill, fronting on 34th street between R and S streets. John F. Waggaman yesterday sold to Grace Horton for $500 lot 48, block 19, and for the same amount lot 47, block 19. Richard Pugh has taken out a permit to build another two-story frame dwelling, to cost $1,500, on lot 3, block 1, Hurst place, in —" Haven, near the distributing reser- voir, Notes. Mr. Peter Delaney, the well-known plumber, died this morning, after a consid- erable illness, at his home on Q street near ing fleet that was at work off Skibbereen, | g34. County Cork, when the storm burst suf- fered greatly. In the fleet were boats from England, Scotland and the Isle of Man, in addition to a large number of Irish boats. The Manx and Irish @oats were the worst sufferers. A,number of fishermen were washed from them and drowned. Many boats from Balti- more, County Cork, and forty-five of the Manx fleet are missing, and it is feared that they were dismasted while trying to ride out the storm, and, thus disabled, broached to and sank. Great quantities of wreckage have been washed up along the coast, which is accepted as proof that many vessels foundered. Much of the wreckage is such as would come from fishing boats. ‘The smack Florence sank off Baltimore and eight men were drowned. Fishing boats were not the only vessels that could not withstand the fury of the storm. Wreckage has been thrown upon the beach near Bear Haven, on the north side of Bantry Bay, and it is supposed that a steamer has foundered a short distance off the coast. The Norwegian bark Christian Wilhelm, from a continental port for a port in New Brunswick, missed stays while trying to get off the coast and was carried ashore. The heavy sea that was running caused her to soon pound her bottom out. She is @ total wreck. The bark took ground some distance off shore, and this caused great difficulty in rescuing the crew. The life- boat men succeeded, however, in getting everybody on board of her ashore safely. The British bark Romance, Capt. Toye, which sailed from Fowey on April 19 for New York, sprang a leak during the storm. She made water so rapidly that it was considered advisable to run to a port to effect repairs. The bark was headed for Queenstown, at which port she arrived with considerable water in her hold. The Norwegian bark Saga, bound from Demara, is ashore near Castle Townsend. Her sails were blown from the bolt ropes, and the wind blew with such tremendous force that it was impossible to bend new canvas. She fell off on the trough of the sea, where she rolled so heavily that she whipped her masts out. Then she was com- pletely helpless. When it was seen that she was drifting ashore, an attempt was made to rig a jury mast with a spare spar. Before this could be done, however, the bark was ashore in the breakers. She went ashore almost broadside on, and the surf made a clean breach over her. It was impossible for the life-savers to launch their boat in the heavy surf. The coast guardsmen,assisted by the life-savers, brought the breeches buoy into play. Sev- eral ineffectual attempts were made to shoot @ line across the wreck, and matters looked very dark for the crew. Finally, during a lull in the gale, which was blowing directly on shore, a line was thrown across her deck. It was a hazardous undertaking for those on the bark to haul the hawser aboard, but it was finally done, and the crew were saved. The sea off Baltimore is everywhere cov- ered with wreckage. ————+o2+—____ Claims for Overtime. Assistant Superintendent Hill of the free delivery service, Post Office Department, left yesterday for Germantown, Pa., where he will resume his duties as commis- sioner to examine overtime claims of let- ter carriers. The work in that city will Probably occupy the remainder of the week. At the conclusion of his work there he will begin the examination of a number of the overtime claims of Chicago carriers. +o. An American Assa: ted. The acting consul at La Paz, Bolivia, has informed the Secretary of State that Wm. Prince, a citizen of the United States, was assassinated last March at a gold mine, which he was working, four leagues from Amaya-Pampa, province of Chayanta, department of Potosi. He says that Ca- lesto Prada, who is suspected of the crime, has been put into the Chayanta jail. The place of residence of Prince is not known, ——_——_+o+____ Fa Fall From a Roof. Charles H. Todd, a wealthy real estate dealer and well-known clubman, was found dead yesterday afternoon behind a row of buildings on the west side of Ist avenue, New York. His skull was crushed in, and his body was a mass of bruises, and it was apparent that he had met his death by a fall from a roof, although no one was a witness of the accident, which is supposed to have occurred some time during the morning. Mr. Todd was fifty years old, ond was a son-in-law of Robert L. Cutting, whose sudden death occurred some months ago. It is supposed that Mr. ‘ood went upon the roof to make an inspection, lost his balance and fell to the ground. ————+e-+-___ Damage to French Exhibits.

Some of the Ki That Meet With the Favor of Fashionable Women. “No, I don’t know why it is considered the proper thing to remove the leaves from violets when they are worn as bouton- nieres,” said the florist. “It is certainly a great pity, for the dark green sets off the flowers to great advantage—besides which the leaves fade very quickly, and so to have them fresh and crisp is a guarantee of newly picked flowers. “Violets are almost over now for this year, and the spring flowers are now ready. We have been seling a great many lilacs and there is quite a rage for apple and peach blossoms. The spring roses have come in, too, and the Baroness Rothschild is as popular as ever—it holds its head so proudly erect that it is admirable for dec- crating purposes. “We practically make no bouquets nowa- days. For presents loose flowers are sent, simply laid in a box or else carelessly tied with a ribbon. Growing plants are more than ever popular, and we sent out an astonishing number as Easter gifts. Have you observed, by the way, that calla lilies are practically never seen nowadays? They have simply gone out of fashion. We have a few just now, but they are not in de- mand. Favorite Flowers. “It is quite the thing now for a woman to have a special flower that she always wears and has about her. For instance, Mrs. Brice affects American Beauty roses. Another Senator's wife has daisies when- ever they can be obtained. Mrs. Theo- dore A. Havemeyer of New York, who is an Austrian by birth, and who is justly celebrated for her exquisite taste, has two balconies attached to her stairway, and these are always filled with lilies and daisies, that peep through the carved rail- ings. On her ball room floor she has al- ways beds composed of a single variety of flower, while from the center of each a curious exotic shoots up. Mrs. Ogden Mills always has orchids. “No, there is nothing especially new in decorations. We are using more and more ribbon. At the last Patriarchs’ ball in New York what was called Roman decora- tions were used. Great wreaths were fes- tooned around the ball room, wide satin ribbons in pale pink and blue following and twisting about them, forming large bows where they were gathered up. The effect was quite stunning. Dinner Table Decorations. “At a large dinner given some little time ago, three rooms were used, each with a separate table. Over each table hung an umbrella of flowers, one being of orchids and the other two of rarest roses. The table decorations matched the umbrellas, of course. An arrangement of the dinner table that has the merit of being both cheap and effective is to have a square beveled mirror with a silver basket of flowers on it, while from the four corners of the glass strands of smilax are to the gas fixture, where they are tied with ribbons. Of course, the glass and the rib- bons can be used over and over again. “Perhaps the newest way to trim a table is to have a long linen scarf, about eigh- teen inches wide, heavily embroidered in some flower, and edged with rich lace. This is placed diagonally across the table, the same flowers that appear in the em- broidery being strewn on, each side of it. A perfectly charming arrangement for a lunch table a few weeks from now would be a scarf of this kind done in wild roses, and with the fragile petals of that flower bestrewing the table. “We are using the wild smilax somewhat for decorating purposes this spring, and here is a new vine, the flowers of which are very pretty and odd, having, you see, three leaves of delicate lilac color. It is called the bouganvaliia. This feathery red flower is new, too. It is the metrosideons.” bo: ‘which az cayenne Fi REMOVES 277, E te im syantns Lamnstigr ais 8.5 seven ocaedl suet CANCER (t..= Sar lndbeexsarelto8°5-5 ve ever cured.

Several racing men were standing in front of Willard’s last night discussing Clifford’s victory over Yo Tambien and con- sidering the chances of the former when he comes over the mountains to run against the eastern cracks in the big events of the spring. The general of the coterie was favorable to ord, and then the ran on things horsey until it came to steeplechasing. One of the party was in favor of confining such sport to animals ridden by gentlemen jockeys. . “That reminds me of something that oc- curred several years ago at Cedarhurst, when poor Harry Harwood was alive,” said another, “Harwood was riding against Pat Meany and several other professional jock- eys, and after going hard for a mile or so of the distance he found he was beaten and concluded to pull up. There happened to be a haystack in the field at the side of the course, so wi stopped his mount behind this. His competitors went on, and in a short while came around by the hay- stack again, when Harwood rode out and joined them, and coming ahead crossed un- der the wire first. His number was run on the board in the winner's place en Meany rushed to the judges Mod gw against the decision on the that Harwood hadn't gone the course. Harwood was called on for his side of the story and merely remarked in a superior sort of way that it was eminently silly to doubt that he had been on the course the same as the others and had certainly = over the same ground. The judges thereupon reaf- firmed their decision that Harwood had won, when Meany, turning to the crest- fallen jocks around him, ejaculated, ‘Moth- er 0’ Moses, boys, jist see what comes of bein’ a gintleman!’” “Did you ever hear about Meany’'s old rival, Pat Nolan, and his fall at Jerome?” inquired another in the party when the stab at gentleman jockeying had been sufficient- ly relished. Well, Nolan was riding some horse whose name I forget now and the going was pretty bad, a steady rain having made the field sort of hummocky. He was riding as hard as he could, with the de- termination to win even if he had to kill his mount, when the animal's hoof went into a hole and he turned a somersault, lighting right on top of Nolan. When the assistants and stable boys who ran out from the paddock neached Pat he was ly- ing on his back, moaning about his legs hurting him, and saying they were gone entirely below the knee. ““Cut off his boots,’ said somebody, and @ fellow pulled out his knife to carry out the suggestion, when Nolan drew himself together and scrambled up. “Cut off thim butes,’ he yelled. ‘Divil a Wan av ye'll tech thim. Shure they cosht fufteen dollyars, ye blagards,’ and he limp- ed to the stable with as much indignation as pain.” “No,” was the emphatic response of a well-known dentist at the Riggs House to- day when he was asked if the plenitude of his brethren here and their evident pros- perity was not due to something like an epidemic of bad teeth among the residents of Washington. “It is true that there are a large number of dentists here, ang that the good ones are reasonably remunerated for their professional labors, but the reason for this is that the people here, as a rule, have excellent teeth and like to take care of them. Yes, there has been a great change in the methods of the profession in the past deeade or two, and in its scien- Ufic aspects it has improved and progressed more than any other, I believe. The time has gone by when self-confidence, a strong arm and a pair of forceps were all that a dentist needed as his stock in trade. “The successful practitioner today must needs be a good deal of a physician and a great deal of a surgeon, and his skill must be exercised to save instead of to destroy. There is not one tooth pulled out and per- manently lost by the patients nowadays where there used to be a hunired, and full plates of false teeth are almost unheard cf now among first-class practitioners. It is a mighty poor tooth that grows in a gum that properly applied dentistry cannot make a thousand times better and more useful than all the false teeth that were ever manufactured.” “Bleeding Kansas promises to be even more gory in a political sense this year than ever before,” said Louis P. Allen cf Topeka at the Arlington today. “Just now the entire state is excited over the possi- bility of Gen. Weaver moving over from Iowa and becoming a Kansan, with the avowed intention of becoming the populist candidate for Congressman in the sixth district. If he moves in by the ist of May he will have resided long enough in the state by election time to be qualified as a citizen and Representative if he is chosen. The populists, from Gov. Lewelling down, are in favor of the ex-presidential candi- date pursuing this course, as they say he could carry the sixth district beyond ques- tion and add 10,000 votes to the strength of their state ticket. There will be prob- ably three separate tickets in the field next fall, as it is not thought that the demo- crats and populists will pull together again as they did in 1892, so altogether the most pyr ogee in the Union has a high ol ime t di pablo brospect during the next six — ok The Stamped Envelope Contract. The controversy that has arisen over the stamped envelope contract will probably be settled next week. The award by the Post Office Department has been delayed for a jong time, pending the enactment of a necessary amendment to an act of Congress of last January, relating to a uniform date for advertising for proposals.
