THOMPSON, Pharmacist, 703 15th St. myll ion for ; 3 Messenger Boys’ Social. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union still continues to please and instruct the messenger boys through the medium of the weekly socials, the one on Saturday last being the most successful. By invitation from Mrs. Bradley, the district superinten- dent, Mr. Davis, the principal of the Busi- ness High School, urged the importance of education, and spoke of the facilities of- fered by the institution under his charge for acquiring this element of future success. He referred to one of their number who is rapidly fitting himself for a better position | by devoting his time to study when not on duty. Mrs, Welch made a decided hit with her picture talk on “Cultivators.” Miss Bertha Yoder gave a recitation, and Miss Mamie Bugbee a musical club drill. The new song cards were received with enthusi- asm and the boys made the air resound with Gospel and temperance music. The re- freshments were donated by Mrs. La Fetra and the young ladies of the Vermont Ave- nue Union. ——-——>_—_ New Trial Refased. Judge Cole Saturday afternoon overruled the motion for a new trial and arrest of judgrrent in the case of Augustus Jenkins, convicted a few days ago of the murder of Benjamin M. Shepherd. Counsel for the corvicted man noted an appeal, and were granted until June 13 in which to settle bill of exception. Sentence was deferred until then. LATE SPORTING NEWS CHICAGO’S ANNUAL SPURT. Anson’s Team Gets to Work Bi Eastern Trip. According to O. P. Caylor, “everything has its uses in the world. Even the Wash- ington base ball team serves a purpose by | cheering the rooters of the great city of | New York.” In other words, 10,000 Gotham- ites witnessed Manager Schmelz’s ‘‘Wash- ington commonwealers” lose their third straight game to the Giants on Saturday afternoon. The contest, however, was a good one, fall of beautiful plays, and by no means a walkover for New York. Stocks- dale and McGuire, Meekin and Farrell were the batteries. Sullivan made the only error of the game and was excusable. The score: NEW YORK. WASHINGTON. R.H.O.A.E. R.H cocorccoe wel ronmnnnce SL Hersam econ: wl cmeoscowo? ren, .

At Cincinnati—Cincinnati, 5; St. Louis, 0. Although not from a league club, Wash- ington has at last captured a game. Yes- terday the Senators rode down to Newark and played the Ironsides, a semi-profes- sional club. The score was 10 to 1. Meeker, @ cousin of Mr. Schmelz, twirled for Wash- ington, Ward playing third base, Selbach short stop, Hasamaear left field and Mc- Guire right field, The only league games played yesterday were at Chicago and Cincinnati. Anson's men won from Louisville and jumped into tenth place. The contest was a great com- bination of hard hitting and poor fielding, but 4 of the 26 runs being earned.

The other league games scheduled are New York at Philadelphia, Baltimore at Boston, Louis- yille at Cincinnati, Chicago at Pittsburg and St. Louis at Cleveland. A special from Cincinati says: “Pressure is being brought to bear on Capt. Comiskey, and it is possible that he will resume his old position at first base and take personal charge of the Reds. He does not care particularly about making the change, but Motz is proving awfully weak with the stick. The switching of Canavan to right will not be permanent, and was done today because McCarthy cannot hit a left-handed pitcher. There is a whisper that ; Cincinnati will try and woo Tim Keefe. Chamberlain will stay on the bench until he voices repentance.” The attendance at the six league games Saturday offered another evidence of the popularity of base ball. At New York 10,500 persons Saw the game with Washington, while the attendance at Baltimore was 000; at Boston, about 5,000; at Cincinnati, ,000; at Pittsburg, 6,800; at Chicago, 4,800; or a total of 37,100. Add to these 23,900 who saw the three Sunday games, and there is @ grand total! of 61,000 for two days. Saturday's ege Games.

Am- Yale, Harvard and Cornell Hold Their Field and Track Sports. The field and track sports of Yale and Harvard were held Saturday. Yale won by 59 to 53. The contests were very excit- ing and were only decided by the next to last event, when the unexpected happened, Sheldon of Yale defeating Bloss of Harvard. Several records were broken and two world’s records made in the hammer and 220-yard hurdle. Yale won eight firsts, seven seconds and five thirds; Harvard six firsts, seven seconds and nine thirds. 220-yards hurdle—First heat won by Jame- son, '9 Harvard. Time, 26 seconds; second, Eaton, '94 Yak Second heat won by Cornelon, L. 8., Har- yard. Time, 24 4-5 seconds; second, Bismer, ‘05 Harvard. Final heat won by Bremer, ’95 Harvard. Time, 24 3-5 seconds; second, Carneion; third, Jameson. This breaks the world’s record by one-fifth of a second. Sixteen-pound hammer throw, won by Hickok, '95 Yale, distance 118 feet 11 inches; second, Cross, '96 Yale, distance 104 feet 4 inches; third, Chadwick, '97 Yale, 100 feet 1-6 inch. This breaks the intercollegiate and world’s record from a stand. King Beaten by White. Thomas Earle White of the Pen and Pen- cil Club, champion pool player of Philadel- Phia, played the second half of a match in this city Saturday against Harry King of the Columbia Athletic Club. When White made 500 points, the limit, King had 472. The first half was played in Philadelphia. The National Regatta. The National Association of Amateur Oarsmen met in New York Saturday and referred to a committee the status of Geo. R. Gray, the Canadian athlete. E. J. Gi- nni, who has accepted a salary as physical instructor, was not, on a test motion, ad- mitted to be an amateur. He will probably have to resign his New York Athletic Club membership. Young Men’s Catholic Club. The recent tournament in bowling by the Y. M. C. Club members has closed. Messrs. J. W. O'Connor and R. F, Lansdale were awarded the prizes. A base ball team, under the management of T. M. Ring, chairman of the athletic committee, has been organized, and the nine can be seen practicing frequently on the field adjoining the club rooms. They await challenges. Tennis is also having attention. Messrs. Ryder, A. J. Schwartz, D. J. Downing and others are looking after this end of the sport. Owing to the storm that raged on the evening of the club’s reception National Rifles’ armory last month, it has been de- cided to give another so as to accommodate the many who have requested it and were kept away, owing to the inclement weather. The reception will be held tomorrow even- ing at National Rifles’ armory. Cards of admission can be had of the club members. More Records Broken, The annual spring games of the Cornell Athletic Club were held on Percey field, Ithaca, N. Y., Saturday, before a large number of spectators. The events were sharply contested and were very exciting. As a result, two intercollegiate records were broken and three Cornell records. G. L. Patterson, “95, threw the sixtee hammer 128 feet 2 inches, by the new style of throwing. The two-mile bicycle race was won by E. B. Gorby, "9, in 5:13. This is the best intercollegiate record, Trainer Robertson says, ever made from scratch. I. Stearn, ‘97, made the mile walk in 7:2 2-5, reducing the Cornell record by three- fifths of a second. The winners in the con- tests will represent Cornell in the intercol- legiate meet with the University of Penn- sylvania, to be held at Ithaca next Satur- day, and also in the Mott Haven games. Mrs. E. Zitzer of Baltimore is the guest of Mrs. P. H. Sullivan, Miss Alice Turner of Warrenton is visit- ing Mrs, J. S. Douglas on upper Cameron street. A number of members of the Americus Yacht Club went to Knight's fishing shore yesterday. Hyde Peckham and Billy Fitzpatrick will have a fifteen-round “go” at Dan. Henry's Theater one day this week. The churches were well attended yester- day, and all of the pulpits were filled by the local pastors, except the Methodist and St. Paul's. At the Methodist a young Japanese minister delivered a sermon on foreign mis- sions. At St. Paul's Church Rev, Douglass Hough preached his last sermon before sailing for Europe. On “Vinegar Hill,” about 11 o'clock on Saturday, quite a great deal of excitement was created by an unknown colored man, making an assault on Mr. George Germon. The negro was chased by the police, but got away. They, however, found his coat and vest and expect to catch the man shortly, as he has been identified. Mr. Joseph Specht, who resides in Fairfax county, just below this city, w: day robbed of $5,000 by a very dier. It appears that Mr. Specht wi from home on business Saturday, man, who gave his name as George R. Howard and claiming to be Episcopal minister, called on Mrs. Specht and preseut- ed a cleverly forged note signed by Mr. Specht, asking that she send him to Wash- ington at once $5,000, which was in the house. This Mrs. Specht did without any hesitation, and particularly after he had represented himself as a class-mate of Mr. Joe Specht, jr., at the theological seminary. The swindler has been traced to Washington, and the officers are said to be n_his track. b Dr. Ben. Blackford, superintendent of the Western State Hospital, at Staunton, was in the city yesterday, the guest of the presi- dent of that institution, Mr. J. T. Beckham. Mr. Henry Watson and his sister of Rich- mond are visiting the family of Capt. K. Kemper. Mr. Gardner L. Boothe has been appointed jail inspector, vice Charles C. Carlin, re- signed.

Destroyed Shortly After Service Yes- terday Morning—Hotel Regent Adjoining Also in Ruins. “Talmage’s Tabernacle burned down” is an old story in Brooklyn. Three times !t has been told to the world, and now it is question if there will ever be another “Talmage’s Tabernacle” in Brooklyn,though pledges of assistance have already been made since the structure was destroyed at noon yesterday. This edifice, the fourth in which the doc- tor has preached in Brooklyn, was situated on the northerly side of Greene avenue and extended from Clinton avenue on the west to Waverly avenue, 200 feet away. Adjoining the church was the Hotel Re- gent, eight stories in height, with a front- age of ninety feet on Clinton avenue and extending back two hundred feet to Waver- ly avenue. The fire spread from the Taber- nacle to this hotel, and then to the dwell- ing houses on Greene avenue and Waverly avenue opposite the church. The wind car- ried the blazing cinders in such quantities in a southeasterly direction that dwelling houses on Washington avenue, two squares away, and also the Summerfield Methodist Church, were set on fire by them, but the greatest loss to any one of these structures did not exceed $15,000. The total loss, how- ever, reaches over $1,000,000. Mrs. Talmage’s Story. Mrs. Talmage tells the following story of the fire: “The doctor was still in the pulpit, shak- ing hands with the people, of whom there were nearly a hundred probably left. His back was to the organ, I was standing up at the end of the pew talking with Mr. Martin of Chicago, who wanted to see the doctor with messages from loved friends in that city. I looked up toward the ceil- ing and saw a tongue of flame burst out between the pipes of the organ. I at once called aloud: “Doctor, the church is on fire.’ “He turned and told all the people to re- tire, while he went into the study to get a few things. 1 waited for him at the door. The flames spread very rapidly, so quickly that some of the trustees were overcome and had to be helped out. The doctor join- ed me soon after, and we went down to Lafayette avenue to a friend’s, where we remained until we could hear that friends in the Regent were out of danger, and what prospect there was of saving any of the church.” The doctor himself held quite a reception at his house. No. 1 South Oxford street, during the afternoon, so great was the stream of sympathizers who called, among them Rey. Dr. Teunis S. Hamlin of this city, who occupied the pulpit of the First Presbyterian Church in the morning. He had preached the dedication sermon of the building then burning some three years ago, and when he grasped the hand of Dr Talmage he said: “Doctor, you have my deepest sympathy, but you should not be 80 fiery.” The two men clasped hands for a mo- ment, and then Dr. Talmage replied: “It is a blessing that only the building is gone; the work will continue,and we can all thank God that no life or limb is injured.” Electric Wires Crossed. When asked for his own opinion to the cause of the fire, he said, emphatically: “Electric lights; electricity caused this fire, as it did that of the last Tabernacle, on Schermerhorn street.” ‘The fire was the most destructive, rapid and furious that has visited Brooklyn for years. It started shortly after noon, when, fortunately, all but 100 of the 7,000 morn- ing worshipers at the Tabernacle had de- parted, and at a time when the guests at the big hotel were somewhat prepared for such an emergency. It spread with light- ning-like rapidity, and before sunset had disappeared property to the value of nearly $2,000,000 was destroyed. In three hours only the bare walls of one of the costliest structures of Brooklyn re- It Isn't «The Same As” and it isn’t “as good as,” no mat- ter what any grocer may tell you about any imitation of Pearline.

Long ere this, however, it e evident that the Hotel Regent was also doomed. The fire started here on the second story, but was speedily extin- guished. This proved to be only a tem- porary oy for @ little later Same wore | discovered @ upper story, wing fiercely up the air shaft. The Hotel Regent Barked. Within half an hour the magnificent hotel ‘was seen to have joined the Tabernacle on the road to destruction, and no water could reach the fire there. From every window on three sides of the building the glowing flames poured. They grew hotter and hot- ter and the smoke more dense as the fire spread throughout the huge structure. An occasional crack signified to the spectators the collapse of a floor, and soon, with a tremendous crash, an outburst of smoke that filled the streets and garden, the rear and side on Waverly avenue toppled over. The guests in the hotel had lost no time in making their escape, they only waiting to snatch up a few valuables and run, but wearing apparel and other effects had to be left to the greedy flames. There were not wanting dramatic incidents during the day. From the fifth floor uf the house M Loomis, one of the guests, and her newly- born babe had to be carried down the fire escape to the street. This was done su cessfully, and mother and child were moved to the Seney Hospital, where they were said to be in no danger. Just as Mrs. Loomis had been rescued from what might have been a horrible death, a woman a) peared at a window on the eighth fico! frantically shrieking and waving her hand to the horror-stricken crowd below. In less time than it takes to write it, however, the woman, who turned out to be the assistant housekeeper, Mrs. Keene, was brought down the fire oye in safety and removed to the house next door, where she was taken care of and found to have sustained no injury beyond the shock. Almost immediately af- ter this a man, who proved to be President Bogardus of one of the Brooklyn street railroads, carried out his own trunk and tri- umphantly deposited it on the sidewalk. By this time the excitement of the crowd had become intense. At this juncture a young man, who turned out to be George McCoy of the dry goods firm of Victor & Achaelis of New York, and who was also one of the Regent's guests, suddenly dis- covered that he had left valuable papers and jewelry in his room, which was on the seventh floor. In a moment he had made his way to the fire escape and ascended it with the ease and skill of a practiced fire- man. The flames and smoke were already belching forth in volumes from the floor above, and it was feared that the daring man would pay with his life for his temer- ity. The crowd held its breath in suspense, All at once a mighty cheer arose, and the young man was seen to climb coolly out of the window with a satchel in his hand, and with Geliberation made the descent in safety. t ——_——__ Four Travelers. There was a large-sized Coxey scare among the officers of the 8th precinct station Sat- urday night when a message was received over the telephone to the effect that some tramps were “holding up” a train in Eck- ington. The police patrol wagon was on its way in the direction of Eckington with a number of policemen. When the wagon reached the suburban village the officers were surprised to find that the citizens had in custody four young colored residents cf Alexandria. They were tramping, but they were only on their way to a farm near Rockville, where they expected to go to work. The boys were arrested and taken to the station as vagrants. They registered as George Hamilton, Edward Lee, Nelson Keith and Howard Jones. Judge Kimball heard the case in court this morning and released the boys. VIOLENT EXERCISE. Fat is a vulgar word.
