Magager Irwin Trying to Patch Up a Crippled Team. #! special dispatch from Philadelphia says: The Philadelphia management is making streruous efforts to get new players to take the places of those disabled and in the hospital. Thompson has rejoined the team, and is playing with one hand wrap- ped up in bandages. Clements will scarcely be able to play again this season, one of the small bones of his right foot being broken. Carsey has not yet fully recovered from a surgical operation performed on him a tonth ago, and neither has Weyhing fully recovered from the injury to his back susteined.in falling while running bases six weeks ago. Surgeons operated on Allen’s face last Wednesday and removed a small bone from his cheek, that was fractured by coming in contact with a pitched ball. He also will not be able to resume playing for several weeks at least. Grady was badly spiked in one of the Baltimore games, and is num- bered among those of the hospital list. Boyle ts also unfit to play, being scarcely able toa walk from the spiking he got in one of the New York games. Hallman is suf- fering-¢rcm a similar injury. So that Cross, Rely, ‘Delehanty, Hamilton and Turner gre the only Philadelphia players in condi- tom at- present to play. Mandger Irwin has purchased the release of Short Stop Sullivan from Washington for $1,800, and Meaney, the Harrisburg Pitcher, will probably join the team in a few days. With these new men signed, the Philadelphians will be able to get out a nitie every day, but hardly a winning one uni! thescrippled ones get back again. evar tothe history of base ball h any ‘089 unfortunate in the matter of ero\us Accidents to its players as the | Piitladelphias have been this year. In the beginpimg "of the season the Philadelphias had what looked iike a likely pennant win- ner, byt now that their team has become so badly ‘crippled they may be counted out of the race, as with all their regular pitchers and most of their other good men in the hospital, they cannot be expected to win many games. Manager Seelee of the Bostons has of- fered to give Staley and Ganzel in ex- change for Taylor, but, of course, the offer was rejected. =, 19//: Boston Signs Tenney. 'The-Boston club has secured the services of the most desirable catcher in the college } world, Frederick Tenney of Brown Uni- versity. Tenney showed in the five innings he played in the game of June 16 inst the Loutsvilles that he can hold his own with the best catchers of the country. He handles the ball quickly and throws accu- rately, He is a hard-hitting left-handed batsman. He has played in Brown Unit- versity for five seasons. Tenney broke one of his fingers tn the fifth inning of the Louisville-Boston game. Louisville's President Resigns. President Drexler has tendered his resig- nation as president of the Louisville club. No, action has been taken on it, but it will be accepted. Dr. T. H. Stucky, the former president, will be asked to take the place, | and he will be at the head of the club in | the next few days. Several changes will follow. Pfeffer will be deposed as captain, and at least four new men signed to take | the places of those who are not giving sat- isfaction in their general playing. It is un- | derstood that $4,000 will be used in securing players. Manager Barnie will be retained. A New Player for Cincinnati. Martin McQuaide, the ex-Western League player, has been signed by Capt. Comiskey and may succeed Hoy in the Cincinnatt outfield. The Philadelphia club is negotiat- ing for Chard and Boyle, the Cincinnati battery, now with the Atlanta Southern League.club. Catcher Boyle is a brother of the Philadelphia player of the same name. Enjoyed the Game by Telegrap! Nearly ‘a thousand base ball enthusiasts saw the Baltimore-Chicago game played by tetegraph at Ford's Opera House yesterday afternoon, says the Baltimore Sun. On the! stage was a large board, on which the four bases of the diamond were marked. As the batsmen came to the home plate in Chi- cago it was at once telegraphed io the the- ater, and the batsman’s name was hung on @ small peg on the board marked “home.” Tken the operator called out as the play went on as told by his clicking instrument: “One bail! Strike! Dahlen hits to Jen- niugs; Jennings lets the ball get away; he recovers it and throws to first in time to retire the runner. And so the whole game was played, and some of the spectators became so interested that they began to shout “Take him out! Put inks in! Where is Gleascn?” just as though they were sitting on the open stands at Union Park and the game was being played right before them, instead of Pearly one thousand miles away. When a batsman became a base runner his name was hung to the base he had reached in safety. And so it was that with three Baltimoreans’ names hanging to the bases and “Kelley” hung in large letters at “home,” a hty shout arose in the opera house when the operator said: ‘Kelley hit the ball twenty feet over center fleld fence and everybody comes home.” When it was all over the spectators wiped their brows, and frequently was the remark heard, “Well, I almost think I saw that game in reality.” The Young Panoramas have defeated the Young Stars by 14 to 8. The battery for the winning team was Johnson and Witt- statt. The Young Panoramas would like to hear from all clubs whose players are’ | not over fifteen years. Address challenges to BE. L.

The feat- ure of the game was the battery work of Norcomb and Powell and a long runuing catch by Holden of the Emmets. The Ideals have defeated the Hamptons by 12 to 1, and also the Whirlwinds by 13 to 10. The winning battery was J. O'Hara, G. McAleer and J. Donalds. THE TURF.

Devoted to the Doctrines of the Anarchist An interview was had yesterday at Milan, Italy, with the sister of Santo, the mur- derer of President Carnot. She said that from the time he was nineteen years of age her brother had been a frequent at- tendant at anarchist gatherings. He was especially devoted in his attendance at meetin presided over by the prominent anarchist advocate, Gori, with whom Santo Was quite infatuated. Unhappily, the sis- ter added, her brother's occupation aa a baker left him more leisure for this purpos The police were aware of Santo’s anarch- istic tendencies, and upon one occasion searched his lodgings and seized a number ef incendiary pamphlets. He was not then arrested, but was warned that if he per- sisted in the course he was pursuing he would find himself in prison. His mother and sister, fearful of what might become of him, begged him to abandon anarchism and devote himself to his trade and harm- less pleasures. The warnings of the police and the pleadings of his relatives, however, had no effect. Santo appeared to be in- fatuated with the idea of spreading the anarchist propaganda, and the police kept @ watchful eye upon him. Three months later he was detected in company with a number of other anarchists distributing anarchist literature among the soldiers. For this offense he was arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to five years’ im- prisonment. He was a youth of resource, however, and after serving part of his sentence he managed to effect his escape from the prison in which he was confined and fied to Lugano. After this his family heard nothing of him until six months a, when a letter w received from him an- nouncing that he was still seeking work. His sister said that when she heard the name Santo mentioned in connection with the murder of President Carnot she felt! certain that it was that of her brother. The interviewer suggested that Santo had drawn lots with other anarchists to de- termine who should commit the deed, but the sister declared that she knew nothing whatever as to why her brother had mur- dered M. Carnot. The proprietor of a bakery where Santo} had been employed for four years said he/| knew little of him outside of the work he) did, but he scouted the idea that Santo was the author of anarchist pamphlets. He was, the baker declared, too ignorant and uneducated to write anything. The man admitted that he knew Santo was infatuated with the anarchists. ———_+-0+____ GROSS FRAUD CHARGED. How the Australian System is Violat- ed in St. Paul. The St. Paul Dispatch makes startling charges of frauds in the recent municipal elections, by which it 1s claimed that pos- bly 11,000 votes were bought and paid | for for the goods duly delivered as so much merchandise. The method by which the fraud {s alleged to have been accomplished shows a most serious defect in the Aus- tralian system of voting. It is claimed that in each of the precincts where frauds were perpetrated the demo- cratic judge of election had managed to se- | cure one of the numbered ballots. This was delivered to the ward heelers, and by them marked as desired. It was then handed to a voter, whose vote had been purchased. ‘The voter, after securing his regular blank ballot from the judges, would retire to one of the stalls, substitute the marked ballot, deposit it in the box, then go out to the | gang, deliver the blank ballot and get his pay. The secord ballot would be used in the same manner, and so on. The charges are general, no names being mentioned, but show a serious defect by which the | Australian law, instead of acting as a check to frauds, only furnishes bribers with a oe. that the marked ballot has been voted.

E. Lynch of Boston at’ the Riggs House this morning, as he looked out of the window and saw the crowd lining up at the window of tne transfer office. “I know when I was living here temporarily several months ago, it was my habit to get cen a Georgetown car when down town and ride up to the junction, get a transfer to lth street, whose cars carried me cut near my boarding house, and attend to any busi- ness I might have in this neighborhood and then use my transfer when I got good and ready, and lots of other people did precisel; the same thing. The adoption of a tim Umit on the transfers, of course, would pre- vent anything of this sort now, but even this system cannot compare with that re- cently adopted by the Lynn and Boston Ratlroad Company up in my state. There has been much abuse of the transfer privi- lege on that road by reason of the convey- ance of transfers from one person to anoth by which several persons have been to ride for one fare. The new transfer check adopted has done away with this custom, because each slip contains pro- file cuts of seven sorts of persons. There are two of women, one being the side face reproduction of an elderly female and the other imilar view of @ young creature. The five cuts devoted to men display a fel- lcw with a smooth face, another with a mustache, the third with side and the fourth with chin whiskers, while the fifth is depicted with a full beard. When a@ pas- | senger wants a tranrfer at Lynn, Salem, or some other point on the road, the conductor } punches the slip under the profile that looks most like tl is great deal of fun out of it.” “It is almost impossible for a person to conceive how rapidly Chicago is growin; said Frank E. Perkins of the windy city at | the Ebbitt last night. “I know a Chicago man is always laughed at for bragging so steadily about his town, but 1 don’t see how he can help doing so. No matter how fa- miliar one may be with the city, nor how long he has lived in it, there is always something occurring to excite his surprise and amazement. The fact is, Chicago never grows stale, even to a Chicagoan. But let me tell you about that growth 1 spoke of | just now. The school census just taken shows a gain of 116,00 in the population of persons under twenty-one years of age since the last regular census, and the most con- servative statisticians believe that this fig- ure shows the entire population of Chicago to be about 1,500,000 now against a little over 1,000,000 in 1890. Now, if an average gain of 100,000 a year in population isn’t something remarkable 1 have nothing more “John Jacob Astor has concluded not to use the stable he recently bullt at Madison avenue and 65th street, and the aristocratic neighborhood around there has stopped bolling and resumed its normal state of quiet torpor,” said Max Braun of New York at La Normandie yesterday. ‘There has. been more trouble over that stable almost than there was over the building of the ark, if all accounts of the latter work of cop: struction are correct. When Mr. Astor first made up his mind to use the site as a horse residence there was a commotion. The ob- Jections managed to get concrete expression through the rich and powerful B'nai Jesh- uran congregation, which worshiped across the street from the expected objectionable erection. The congregation objected to Mr. Astor—or, rather, to the Astor trustees, be- cause no one Astor has a word to say re-| garding the management of the estate—but | the work went on. Then it secured a tem- porary injunction, but it was vacated, and again the construction was commenced. Then the powerful congregation prepared to make the greatest effort of its life. Some of its leading members went up to Albany and held deep consultation with various members of the legislature, and the result was that a bill was passed prohibiting the erection of any stable within one hundred feet of any church or other place of wor- ship. People who were watching the fight thought the Astors had gotten the worst of tt at last, but Gov, Flower vetoed the bill om account of its unconstitutionality. After this action a good many people up around Madison avenue and GSth street were seriously contemplating removal from | the neighborhood when the trustees of the Astof estate announced that they had agreed to stop building the stable. The Treason that they submitted to all the liti- gation and risked adverse legislation was stated in their letter announcing their final etermination, which shows just how the Astor affairs are manag The trustees said that they did not want to have any unpleasant relations with their neighbors and that they had merely continued the construction of the building in order to maintain their right to use their own prop- erty and in their own way, provided such use did not interfere with the health, com- fort and convenience of their neighbors. Of course they might have stopped the build- ing when the first objections were made, but the Astor trustees invariably test all laws before they accede to the demand of the public, and in this way they keep on the safe side." aes EDISON PAINFULLY HURT. The Inventor Falls From a Chair, Re- ceiving What May Be Serious Injuries Despite the most stringent efforts to con- ceal the fact, the details of u somewhat | serious accident to Thomas A. Edison, the great inventor, have just come to light, says the New York Herald. Mr. Edison has been at Ogden, N. J., for the past eight weeks, hard at work develop- ing his magnetic ore separator, returning home only to spend Sunday. On Friday evening last he was sitting on the porch of his boarding house at Ogden, when. in some unaccountable way his chair gave way and he was thrown backward on the porch, striking himself heavily. He is rather heavy man and it gave him a great shock. Friends at once ran to his assistance, but he picked himself up and said that he felt no pain or inconvenience. Saturday night he went .ome to Orange, N. J., a8 usual, feeling sore and stiff, but thought little of the matter, On Sunday he became worse and suffered a good deal of pain. His family physician was called in and tho t little of the matter, but prescribed for him. Yesterday Mr. Edison was worse and unable to leave the house. The physi- clans are puzzled. No bones are broken, It is feared that some serious internal injury may have been sustained. Mr. Edison is a hard patient to treat, as his almost absolute freedom all his life from | pain or disease makes pussiveness and re-| pose distasteful to him. | It is hoped that the present trouble may | pass away without any serious cons quences, but this only the next few days can determine. In the meantime his fam- od and friends are worried over his condi- tion. | | Miss Emma Juch, the famous opera | singer, was married at Stamford, Conn., | yesterday to Mr. Francis L. Wellman, as- sistant district attorney of New York city. The ceremony was performed in St. A drew's Protestant Episcopal Church by t Rev. Dr. Peter. Macfarlane. The church was beautifully decorated. The bride's gown was of heavy white satin, male by Worth, with high neck and court train, draped ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS. Closing of the Schools and Other In- teresting Items. Mr. M. M. Davis has been admitted to Practice before the corporation court. The wife of Thomas Blair, the colored janitor of St. Mary’s Church, died on Sat- urday night after a brief illness. The closing exercises of the public schools took place this merning, and medals and diplomas were distributed to those who had worked hard throughout the past session. The prizes were distributed by his honor, Mayor Strauss, assisted by Superintendent K. Kemper. The police authorities have been asked to lcok out for Harry Gray, a young Wash- ingtonian, who is wanted there for the lar- | ceny of $175. It is thought he is in the county near this city. On Thursday night, at Dan Henry’s little areha, Joe Corrigan of Washington and Jack Dougherty ef the west will meet for a ten-round “go.” The first bout cf the evening will be between Jim Jaynie of Washington and an unknown, who is being trained by Hite Peckham. Joe teman will meet Johnny Glynn of Philadelphia on July 4 for a finish fight, and will come here in a few days to go into training un- der Hite Peckham. Peckham is out with a challenge to meet any i35-pound man in America. The Old Dominions will go to the Episco- 1 High School this afternoon to cross as with the A bade of that school. A good game is expected. Mies Alice Taylor, who is about eighteen years of age, made an unsuccessful attempt to commit suicide yesterday afternoon. It is said that she has had numerous quar- rels with her mother of late, and on yester- day afternoon went to the old Pioneer mill wharf, where she jumped into the river. Fortunately, her brother was near by and jumped in after her, thus saving her from @ watery grave. a On and after next Sunday the children’s mass at St. Mary’s Church, which has heretofore been had at 9:30 and ll-a.m., will be discontinued, and a mass at 10 o'clock substituted. During the summer months vespers will be said at 7:30 instead of 4 o'clock, as has been done during the winter and spring. The German class of Prof. Mueller en- tertained him at the residence of Miss Kate Stuart a few nights ago. Among those resent were Mrs. Crawford, Mrs. J. Rector moot, Mrs. A. E. Smoot and Misses Dora Chinn, Fanny and Elien Burke, Suter, Re- becca Ramsey and Kate Stuart. The even- ing was spent in German conversation and music.’ A number of teachers of the public schools’ will attend the Normal School, which meets in Culpeper in July. The funeral of the late Q. A. Green, whose death was mentioned in this corre- spondence, will take place from St. Paul's Church this afternoon at 5 o'clock.
