MADE-A BIG BLAZE. 2 WOMEN THE CAUSE Burning of the Stock Yards at Ben. ning Yesterday. The fire yesterday afternoon at Benning, mentioned in The Star, resulted in consider- able loss. The flames were first discovered in the cellar of the’ great building of the Washington Abattoir Company about 2:30 o'clock by Superintendent Wm. D. Sullivan. He at once gave the alarm, and the fire hose in the building was used in an effort to extinguish the flames. The fire made such headway, however, that little could be done in that way to check it. It spread with remarkable rapidity, and, owing to the great distance of the place from the city, it was a great length of time before the fire department from the city could reach it. It was then almost too late to do any- thing but to attempt to save the adjoining buildings. Unfortunately, too, it was dis- covered that the hose of the fire department would not fit the fire plugs at the scene of the fire, and it became necessary to draw water from a small stream near by. But the supply from that was too small to af- ford much assistance to the firemen, and the building was totally destroyed. Three of the sheds of the Union Stock Yard Com- pany were saved and three cattle cars of the Baltimore and Ohio Raiiroad Company, sidetracked near by, were destroyed. The stock in the yards was safely removed, al- though some were slightly scorched. The building was a three-story structure, being nearly 200 feet each way. The first floor was used as a storage place, with hide, skin and fertilizing departments, in addition to the engines for working the salt brine through the pipes. The second floor was used principally for cold storage. The office and the room in which the killing was done were also located on this floor. The hog-killing department and the cold-air ducts were on the third floor. The fire is supposed to have been due to an explosion of one of three large casks of ammonia. The building was opened in October, 18Y1, and was at the time of the Two Bloody Rows in the Neighborhood of Looust Alley. The Men Had the Worst of Both Af- fairs—Noah Burke and John ‘Wise in the Hospital. Noah Burke’s name may never again ap- pear on the Police Court records, for he is new a patient in Freedman’s Hospital, and his injuries are serious. Noah, like many other men, was one of the unfortunate in- dividvals who loved, but not wisely. He had too many female friends besides his wife, and last night one of them, who was too much for him, gave him such a severe pounding that he was rendered unconscious. It was about 11 o'clock last night when he was found on M street northwest near 4th street in an unconscious condition. He had been assaulted, and his condition was the naturai result of the loss of blood. Police- men Hartley and Duvall took charge of the case. The injured man was hurried off to the hospital, and soon afterward the of- ficers succeeded in learning that Delia Howard, a colored woman, had committed the deadly assault, although she possibly acted in self-defense. Noah separated from his wife a long time ago, and since then he has lived with a number of women from time to time, so the police say. For about a year he lived with Delia Howard, and their only child died and was buried. The woman thought that Noah loved liquor and other women better than he did her, and so about ten days ago she broke up housekeeping and sent her male companion adrift. “I did not rent another room,” said Delia, “because I really wanted to get rid of him, and | kuew if | had a room he would re- turn and annoy m Ard so Delia lived with her friends until Saturday, when she rented a room in a house on Ist street northwest, between K and L streets. Last night Noah made a call at her house, so she says, and broke open the door when she refused to auswer his call. When he entered the room, she said, he began fighting, and struck her in the left eye with a vase. He then broke her pictures, and was proceeding to de- stroy everything in the house, when she picked up a piece of a broken picture frame and beat him over the head. After the fight was over she went and had her ‘wounded eye dressed, end Noch left the house to go to the place where he had been stopping since their separation. He only got as far as 4th and M streets, when he became so weak from loss of blood that he fell to the sidewalk. Delia was arrested by the officers and locked up on a charge of assault, and today in court she was committed to jail to await the result of Noah's injuries. Used His Knife. Locust alley in South Washington near 4th and M streets was also the scene of a dangerous encounter last night. As in the other case there was a woman at the bot- tom of the trouble. It appears that Rose Palmer and Katie Palmer, her sister, reside in the same hw with their maie friends, John Wise t caring for Rose. Forster and Kate and until las fire well seecked, there being in it about 200 dressed beeves, 350 sheep, nearly 500 hogs, over 10,000 hams, 2,000 tongues and other meats in the building. The loss on the contents is between $25,000 and $30,000. The insurance on the building is $50,000, with $15,000 on the machinery. There was no insurance on the stock. The three cattle cars of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad were valued at $2,500. The sheds of the Union stock yards were damaged to the extent of $300. The stock in the abattoir belonged to individuals. The heaviest losers are Andrew Loifier and T. T. Keane. John H. Rufus, Felix Siebert, George Gotthardt, Jacob Loeb, 8S. Alexander, C. T. Hoover, J. W. Koof and K. W. Fenton had more or less stock in the place. The company was formed in 1891, with a capital stock of $150,000, a A Pleasant Event. Henry Wilson Post of the Grand Army, composed of civil war veterans who served in the regular forces, held a camp fire last evening at the Soldiers’ Home, for the pur- pose of receiving and entertaining a party of comrades, representing the sister posts of the department of the Potomac, who went out to pay Henry Wilson Post a fraternal visit.

The Senators Batted at Will and Won Again From the Browns. The Washington bali team played just such a game yesterday as every one likes to see, @ game with plenty of batting and excel- lent base running and giit-edged fielding, and no one was disappointed when at the end of the ninth inning the score stood 12 to 3 in their favor. Gleason pitched for the St. Louis team and helped swell the batting averages of Mr. Schmelz's players, while but six hits were made off Esper, who was in the box for Washington. The home team was changed slightly | from its usual make-up, Joyce laying off and Hasamaear playing third, with Selbach in right, Abbey in center and Tebeau in left. The change worked admirably. ‘The scoring began in the second inning, when Selbach was given a base on balls and Tebeau knocked him home with a rat- tling two-bagger. Cartwright reached first on a serateh hit and came home when Rad- ford made the second two-base hit of the inning. In the third inning Hasamaear hit so hard toward the right field fence that even the swift Tommy Dowd could not re- turn the ball until the runner had made the complete circuit of the bases. The fifth was disheartening to the visitors and took the starch completely out of them. Hasa- maear started with a triple in deep center, Abbey went out on a fly, but McGuire im- mediately hit to left for three bases and came home on Selbach’s single. Tebeau hit for two bases, Cartwright went out on fly and Radford cleared the bases with his single. Dowd made the third out by a phenomenal catch, after a long run, of a bard ball from the end of Abbey's bat, for Which he was roundly applauded. Another run was scored by Selbach in the sixth, and three more in the seventh on singles by Ward and McGuire, and a triple by Selbach and a double by Tebeau. No more runs were scored by Washington. St. Louis made a run each in the fourth, fifth and eighth innings, two of which were earned. For the second time this season on the home grounds, only three balls were pitched in one of the half-innings, each batsman knocking the first ball pitched high in the air, the side being retired on three successive flies. This was in Washington's half of the eighth inning. The home team clearly outclassed the St. Louis nine in yesterday's game, batting | very much harder and bunching their hits as well as fielding a great deal better. Now for the Chicago Colts, which have in recent | years proved a stumbling block to the Sen- ators. Yesterday's score follows: WASHINGTON. ST. LOUIS.

Chris von Der Ahe announces his willing- ness to barter away his right to dictate the Professional movements of “Kid” Gleason, who is supposed to be the “star’’ pitcher of the St. Louts Browns. Here is an opportun- ity for some of the league clubs, who have cast longing eyes in the direction of the “Kid” ever since the season opened. Last evening afier the overwhelming de- feat of the Browns by the Senators, Chris called Gleason before him and gave the little pitcher a terrible dressing down, and closed the debate by suspending him from duty without pay until further orders. There was nothing left for Gleason to do but to submit gracefully and await future developmenis for a vindication. Before leaving for his home in Camden Gleason concluded that he would appeal to President Nick Young for advice and coun- sel. Accordingly he invited Capt. Joyce of the Washington team to accompany him to league headquarters, and listen to his tale of woe. According to Gleasom’s statement to Pres- ident Young Mr. ven Der Ahe acted hastily nd unjustly in summarily placing the “Ixid" upon the shelf. it appears that von Der Ahe alleges that the “xid” has been dissipating too much of late, and that his poor showing in the box yesterday was due to an overdose of that seductive amber fluid for which St. Louis is justly celebrat- ed. Gleason denies the accusation and de- clures that he has not imbibed anything in- toxicating since last March. In defense of Lis apparent weakness in the box yesterday he declared to Mr. Young that he never pitched a harder game in his life than he did against the Senators. He served them with every style of delivery he had in stock, and they pounded his slow curves with the same vigor that they touched up his fast and intermediate up and down shoots. oO matter where I put ‘em,” said the “Kid,” with an earnestness that indicated truth- fulness, “they smashed "em right and let. The more I tried to fool ‘em, the Harder and safer they hit ‘em. In the last two in- nings I pitched a straight ball all the time, and to my surprise they never touched rama After listening to Gieason’s story, Mr. Young said Mr. Von Der Ahe has a right to discipline any of his players when they violate the recognized rules and regulations of the league, and he questioned the “Kid” closely with a view of ascertaining whether he had been guilty of any indiscretion that would call for the infliction of such a se- vere penalty. Without passing judgment on the case, Mr. Young advised Gleason to consider the matter carefully, and if he thought injustice has been done him by Mr. Von Der Ahe an uppeal to the directors of the league will receive due consideration. Gleason seemed to be greatly mortified not only at the severe drubbing the Sena- tors gave his delivery, but he declared that his conscience was clear, and that he was inpocent of the charge laid against him. It must not be forgotten that the Senators have had their batting clothes on for the past three weeks, and they have hit every “star” pitcher, excepting Elton Chamber- lin of Cincinnati, who has appeared against them. Many of the other great pitchers of the league have suffered in the same way at the hands of the other clubs during the past two weeks, and it is said to be unjust to “black list” a man who happened to go up against such luck as was with the Sen- ators yesterday. If the St. Louis team had consisted of eighteen men instead of nine the Senators were in luck enough to win out.

MAY BE SUSPENDED. William Boag and Bicyclists Who Race Without the L. A. Wes Sanction, ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 14.—There is a pros- pect of trouble when the bicycle races are called at the picnic of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, to be held at the fair grounds next Sunday. The League of American Wheelmen controls all bicycle events, and demands that race promoters shall procure their sanction before giving any races. The Hibernians applied for sanction through the usual channels, and were refused for the reason that the races were to be run on Sunday, which is a violation of the L. A. W. rules. The action of the national racing board Was somewhat of a surprise to the Hiber- nians and to the wheelmen, as no trouble had ever been experienced before in pro- curing sanction for Sunday races in St. Louis. The matter came up before a meet- ing of the board of officers of the Missouri Division, L. A. W., last Tuesday evening, and was discussed at length. The chairman of the state racing board was instructed to use every endeavor to secure the sanction for the Hibernians, In case it is not granted every bicyclist who rides in the races will render himself liable to a suspension of from thirty to sixty days. The Hibernians may attempt to run races in detiance of the League of American Wheelmen, but it is improbable that many riders will compete if the sanc- tion cannot be shown. Practicing at New London, Yesterday was unusually quiet for the crews at New London. It was not until a few minutes before 6 p.m. that either of the crews started for their afternoon spin. The Harvard "Varsity succeeded in escaping the eyes of the Yalesians in the evening, as the latter were just on the point of starting | for up river when the Harvards came from their boat house and took a course direct for the starting point, and went over the course pulling a long easy stroke of 36 for the first and 38 for the last half. The Yale men were on the river just before six, and Cook trailed them in the launch. The crew rowed in excellent form. Tomorrow's Boat Race. The cool weather of yesterday was grate- fully received by the Cornel! and Pennsyl- vania oarsmen who are training at Torres- dale, Pa., for their four-mile race tomor- row. A little after 6 o'clock last evening the Cornell crew entered their shell and pulled leisurely for three miles. The men rowed in fine form, but no attempt was made at speed. The Cornell men were weighed, and averaged about 159 pounds. When they left Ithaca Saturday their aver- age was 165, but they lost weight rapidly during the warm weather. Courtney says this yea crew is the slowest he has had since 'S®; that they may win, but they will know they have been in| @ boat race. “The course is a fast one,” says Court- ney, “and I look for the race to be decided in close to twenty minutes,” the record for four miles ts 20 minutes, 10 seconds, held by the Yale crew.
