A Rallway Company Reducing Its ¥Yorce—Paragraphs About Persons and Events of Local Interest. ‘The Southern Railway Company Is coa- tinuing to discharge a large number of its employes. On the 15th instant several work train crews and a number of track hands were laid off, and it is said more will follow. Rev. Father Kenefic, assistant pastor of $t. Mary’s Church, has returned from his summer vacation. Mr. F. Geisking had a horse stolen from his farm at Falls Church on Friday night. ‘The police have been requested to be on the tookout for the animal. Mr. Tribble, the young man who went crazy in this city several days ago on the gubject of religion, as mentioned in this correspondence, has been taken to his home {nm Washington. He will be sent to an asy- lum for treatment. While on her way down the river on Sat- yrday evening the steamer T. V. Arrow- smith met with an accident just as she was fassing Notley Hall. The crank on the port wheel broke in some unknown man- ner, and the steamer came to a standstill. (here were a large number of passengers on her and a large quantity of freight. One of the officers came ashore in a rowboat and came to this city on the electric road to notify the agent here. A tugboat ‘was sent after the disabled steamer, but it was not found necessary to tow her, as she was brought to this city working on one side. The passengers and freight were transferred to the steamer Sue, and con- tinued on -heir journey. Yesterday. was a very quiet Sunday in this city. A large number of people came here from Washington on the ferry boats and took the electric cars for a ride to New Alexandria, Riverside Park and Mount Ver- non. There was not a single arrest made by the police during the day. The congre- tions in the various churches were about ie same as usuzl, and interesting sermons were preached. Hite Peckham, the Alexandria light- weight, knocked out Walter Freeman, a New York heavy-weight, at Westfield, N. ¥., om the 16th instant, in five rounds. Peckham will return to this city about the middle of September, to get in shape for his match with Horace Leeds. A large number of people from this city ‘went to Gum Springs yesterday to attend @ camp meeting that is being held there. The laying of the corner stone of the new Roberts Chapel, on South Washington street, yesterday afternoon, was attended by a large number. When completed, it is said this will be one of the handsomest eolored churches in the city. The artesian well which is being sunk by the Alexandria Ice Company has reached a depth of 300 feet. It is thought that a stream of the right temperature will be reached within the next éighty feet. Mi: Lena and Sofie Bowie, who have summering in Culpeper, have returned cir home in this city. ee tT Henson, pastor of the Southern dist Church, has gone to Ingleside, i@., for a short vacation.

They are drilling nightly for this purpose. It is said that there will be fully five hundred Vir- ginia Pythians at the encampment. —. SATURDAY NIGHT AFFRAYS. The Police and the Doctors Were Kept Busy Attending Cases. For several weeks the disorderly and fighting elements of the city’s population have been on their good behavior, but Satur- day night the spell was broken, and the Emergency Hospital physicians were given @ busy time. In one case the trouble was the result of a domestic quarrel, Grant Richardson and his stepdaughter, Mary Johnson, being the participants. Grant is a colored man, who married Widow John- son some time ago. He lives at No. 437 Ridge street, only a short distance from the second police station. This fact had no effect on the family, and the fear of the early arrival of the police did not prevent quarreling. It was about 9:30 o’clock when the trouble began, and Mary, who is only about fifteen years old, stabbed her step- father in the back, inflicting a serious wound. The injured man was sent to the hospital and Mary kept out of the way of the police, - About the same time two negroes, Louis St. Clair and Tobe Wheeler, had a pugilistic encounter near Ist and Pierce streets, also in the second precinct. But St. Clair was not satisfied to engage in a fair fist fight. He drew an instrument of some kind and disfigured his antagonist’s face to such an extent that medical treatment was neces- sary. Louis then left that neighborhood apd the wounded man was taken to Eich- orn’s drug store. Later he was sent to his home in Navy place southeast. A third fight occurred which created some excitement in Naylor’s alley. This happened about 11 o'clock, the participants being Henry Ware and Wm., alias Daniel, Jones. In this case a weapon was also used, and Ware was cut in the face. He was sent to Freedmen’s Hospital, but his injury is not serious. Frederick Williams, a resident of 1210 I street southeast, was on D street north- west between 12th and 13th streets about 9:30 o'clock, when a large stone, thrown by some unknown person, struck him on the head and severely injured him. His as- sailant has not beea found, but the injured — was given good treatment at the hos- pital. Dave Taylor and Perry Clark, colored men, met cn equal terms about midnight. ‘They were near Virginia avenue and 2th street, and, according to the police report, each had a knife. Taylor received a pain- ful wound in the left breast. Taylor's left bip was cut and both were arrested. A man named James Connell, who figured in a row near Pennsylvania avenue and 12th strect, was also taken to the hospital. He was cut in the back of the head. ——E THE REVOLT IN MOROCCO. Troops of the Sultan Put to Flight With Heavy Loss. The revolt among the Kabyles in Morocco is spreading, and is now general in all southern towns. A body of the sultan’s trcops recently attacked the rebels outside of Mazagan, a seaport, 120 miles southeast of Cape Sbartel. A desperate conflict en- sued, in which the Kabyles fought with the ferocity for which they are noted. The sultan’s troops were finally put to flight after they had sustained very heavy losses. The troops retreated inside the walls of Mazagan and the place is now be- sieged oy the rebels. The situation is con- sidered to be grave. The Spanish government Is taking extra recautions to prevent a recurrence of the ‘rouble at Melilla, the scene some months ago of a protracted struggle between Riff Kabyles and Spanish troops AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. A Man Who Claims to Have Been As- ted by Railroad Employes. Wm. Hurley, a white man living near Cleveland Park, on the Tenleytown road, alleges that he was assaulted Saturday night immediately in front of the George- town and Tenleytown power house, and to the best of his knowledge and belief by some person or persons employed by the company. His nose, when exposed at the station house this morning, bore an ugly cut, and one of his eyes was considerably disfigured. He states that he got on a late car, bound for Tenleytown presumably, and paid his fare. When the car arrived at the power house, at the head of Georgetown, the conductor told him it was to be turned in. Hurley remonstrated, saying he had paid his full fare, nothing had been said about the car being a half-way one and he was entitled to a full ride. The men—conductor and motorman—paid no attention to his remonstrance, it ts alleged, and started to turn in. Hurley then made the remark that he would ride in and report the matter. As he stepped off to make his complaint, he says, he was dealt several sharp blows, which nearly knocked him senseless. He is uncertain who struck him, as he noticed several men standing around, some of whom had listened to his argument with the con- ductor or motorman. When he recovered himself all had about disappeared. He did not remember the number of the car. He acknowledged to The Star reporter, when asked if he had been drinking, that he had taken “just a few glasses of beer.” Kicked by a Horse, Yesterday little Louis Rosenbusch, the grandson of Police Sergt. Volkman, was kicked in the side by a horse. His clothes were torn off by the horse’s shoe and a deep imprint left in the flesh. All last night the boy lay unconscious. It was feared for a number of hours that his hurt was of an internal and dangerous nature, but this morning the attending surgeon gave the parents much encouragement. The boy was in the stable, having just come in from a ride with his father, Mr. L. C. Rosenbusch. As he walked behind two stalled horses one of them put his head over and bit the other on the neck. ‘The bitten horse reared and kicked, strik- ing the little fellow. Notes. Charles Curtis, who stabbed Samuel Bell in the shoulder a few days ago, has been captured. He denies his guilt. Messrs. F. W. Storch and T. Rosenbusch left yesterday on an ccean trip to Boston. Messrs. H. C. Staub, J. E. Libbey, jr., and Lloyd Tucker left yesterday for Boston, going by sea. They will return by way of the Fall River line and New York. W. Hickerson, the nine-year-old son of John Hickerson of 1018 2th street, was iknocked down by a cart on Saturday after- noon and received injuries painful but not serious, The cart was one of Daly’s and jaden with coal. ———.__ JAPAN'S NEW LOAN, It is Being Eagerly Subscribed—Dis- position of the Coreans. The Japanese legation has received a tele- gram announcing that the government of Japan has determined to issue a domestic ican of $50,000,000. The dispatch states that a strong outburst of patriotic feeling has been evoked by this proposition, and the people in all parts of the country are eager- ly subscribing to the loan, Dispatehes have also been received at the Japanese legation which corroborate the published stories that Corean soldiers are fighting with the Japanese against China. This shows the disposition of the Coreans in the quarrel, say the Japanese. They regard it as most significant also that the Corean political prisoners have been released, since most of them were imprison~ ed for their attitude toward the Chinese officials. -se0 In Command of the Machias, Commander C. 8. Houston has been de- tached from duty on the receiving ship Dale at the Washington navy yard, and ordered to take command of the gunboat Machias, which has just undergone the operation of being lengthened fourteen feet. The vessel will be put into commission at New York on the 15th proximo, and will be ordered to duty on the Asiatic station, as she is a light draught ship, suitable for service in the rivers in tbe oriental coun- tries, LATE SPORTING NEWS —— Annual Tournament bf $he National Oro- quet Aggpofftion, ee. a ey FI Colonels and Senkicts Meet om the Diamond—The Vegtiant’s Disaster— The Potomac uRegatta. fe att BC contd So far as the putilic |is concerned, the games of croquet as; played by the mem- bers of the National Croquet Association seem only to occur dtring the week when the tournameat is held at Norwich, Conn., but, the members of the association are mostly professional and business men, who play it more for the enjoyment which they get out of it than for any notoriety they might acquire,they in no wise care whether their games, which are played during the whole of the summer months, ever come to the public notice or not. Should any one have visited Washington, Philadelphia,New York city, New London, Asbury Grove, Mass.; Middletown, Conn.; Danbury, Tren- ton, Stamford, Conn.; Keyport, N. J.; Chi- cago, Wilmington, Springfleld, Providence or Cottage City, Mass., at any time during the last three months, he would have found that not only is the game played in- cessantly, but that its number of devotees is large. Tomorrow will open the thirteenth an- rual tournament at Norwich. The indica- tions are that there will be over sixty en- tries, which is an unusual number, last year there being over forty, which was the largest ever before kpown. The players will be divided into four classes. In the first division are placed the veterans, ex- champions and those who by constant im- provement have become so skilled as not to have given the others who played them last an opportunity to win a game over them. This division this year will be composed of Willie Knecht, champion of Keyport, N. J.; George W. Johnson, champion in ‘s3, ‘89 and "v2, of Philadelphia; Prof. Chas. Jacobus, champion in 'S, of Springfield, Mass.; C. Hull Botsford, champion in ‘86, of New York city; Abram Wambold, cham- pion in '87, of Mariners’ Harbor, Staten island; Prof. N. L. Bishop, champion in "88, of Norwich; Hon. George C. Strong, champion in "90, of New London; Charles Smith, champion in ’91, of Westfield, Mass. ; Rev. Philip Germond of New York, Charles C, Groonsiit of Philadelphia, Ira D. Reed of New York, L. P. Bryant of Florence, Mass.; Earle Butler of Middletown, Conn., and C. Maurer of Keyport, N. J. -In the second division this year will be W. Strong of New London, Conn.; H. G. Fay, D. B. Frisbie of New York city, . Z. L. Veazey of Wilmington, Del.; Willie Andrews and . Brewer of Norwich, George A. Gammon, Charles Max- Mass.; D. D. Butler E. F. Spaulding of Mass.; Frank Sisson of New London, Conn.; W. Holt Apgar of Trenton, N. J.; L. C. Chase of Washington, D. C.; P. H. Chalfonte of Wilmington, Del. Of these Butler, Fay, Frisbie, Strong, Sis- son, Andrews, Veazey and Apgar have con- tested before, and each has made very creditable records. If Strong of New Lon- don, Conn., shows the same improvement this year that he did last he will probably be the winner in that class, although Butler last year defeated him in the game that they played. A vesy interesting contest is looked for between them. At the present time there are entered in the other divisions Abnor B. Molly and C. A. Marsh of New Yi eity, E. H. Meach of Norwich, Joseph rough and A. E. Adamson of Philadelphia, George Van Wickle of New Brunswick, E. R. Downs of Asbury Grove, L. J, Williams of Hans- field Centre, Conn.; ¢. J. Myers of Wash- ington, D. C., all of; whom have contested before, with many ot! who as yet have their fame to make upon the grounds. The play will commence tomorrow morn- ing. Each player will play one game with every other member. of his division, and the one winning the highest number of games will be the champion of his division. Should there be any ties they will be played off by @ series of three or five games, as the contestants shall desire. On Tuesday night of the tournament week the annual election of officers of the association will be held. At present the officers are: Presi- dent, George C. Strong, New London, Conn.; vice president, J. W. Tufts of Boston, Mass.; secretary and treasurer, Dale D. Butler of Middletown, Conn.; correspond- ing secretary, H. C. Fay, Brooklyn, N. ¥. DEFEATED THE COLONELS. Prospects of the Senators Leaving Last Place. Saturday's base ball game was a race with a thunder storm, in which the elements were beaten. Just as the game was called heavy clouds blackened the northern skies and doubtless kept many away from the grounds. The storm blew nearer and nearer and the accompanying wind made it very difficult to judge fly balls. However, five innings—and consequently a game—had been played before rain fell, and the remaining innings were finished in a slight drizzle, which did not affect the playing. The Senators scored three runs in the first Inning on a base on balls, a base on errors and Abbey’s four-base hit, and to this lead they added two more scores in the third on hits by Abbey, Hasamacar and Selbach. The Louisviile’s first run was made in the fifth inning, whea Hemming hit a hard one in Hasamuear's territory, which ordinarily would have been an easy out, but owing to the hard wind the ball was blown out of Roaring Bill’s reach ana bounded over the barbed wire fence, yielding an easy home run. ‘fwo hits and errors on the part of the home team allowed the visi- tors another :un in the seventh, and in the ninth inning the fans were holding their breath, as it looked as if the finish of Fri- day’s game might Se duplicated. Hemming was the first man up und hit a liner at Scheibeck. The saortst»p did not dodge, howev r but held tightly to the sphere. Brown followed wit ha hit, and he was sent home ahead of Clark, who made a home- run drive, which rolled under the score board in right neid. The nex: man was thrown out by Stocksdale, and Abbey ended the game by pulling tow. Smith’s long fiy. Stocksdale pitched for Washington, and, although he was hit oftener than Hemming, was successful in keeping the hits weil scattered. He sent nobody to first on balls and struck out the hard-hitting center fielder of the Colonels. Abbey carried off the batting honors of the day, making a home run and two doubles. Hemming was wild in the first inning and sent two men to bases, but he afterward steadied, and during the game was only hit safely six times. The Senators bunched their hits, and, aided by the Loutsville’s costly errors, won out the game. Smith was the only man to steal a base, and he was twice successful in reach- ing second before McGuire could get the ball there. The fielding was sharp and quick, and a very neat double play was made on each side. Score: WASHINGTON. H.OLAE. ; F R. . R.H.O.AE.

Haft on Saturday night telegrapned from South- and lost, as announced on Saturday, but that it had been jammed in the trunk. The Times udds that some further ex- plaration of the affair seems to be re- quired when all the circumstances are tak- en into consideration. It may be further said that on returning to Cowes Saturday evening members of the sailing committee were anxious to learn how the accident te the Royal Yacht Squadron's up to 6 o'clock no notice had been taken of the request. A Wolverton has withdrawn the Lord and has decided to seud it to the FUTURE OF THE VIGILANT. Denial That She to Be Withdrawn. LONDON, August 20.—The Morning today publishes an interview with Mr. George Gould, in the course of which he denied that the Vigiiant would be withdrawn from all her ergagements. He added that he was going to France, but that his brother Howard would sail the yacht in the mean- time. He has not decided whether the Vigilant will sail for the Cape May cup. SOUTHAMPTON, August 20.—Captain Haff today, referring to the mishap to the Vigilant cn Saturday, owing to her center board touching a rock off the Needles while preparing to race for Lord Wolverton’s cup,- said that as soon as the sloop reached smooth water the top of the center board trunk was taken entirely off, and the center board was found wedged inside and six feet down. The Vigilant’s commander ad- ded that the diver found yesterday that the connection of the center-board was broken, and that the board Itself was wedged in the after-end of the trunk. The diver also announced that the center board chain was carried away, and said that, in latter can again be used. The Vigilant en- tered the tidal dock this afternoon for further examination. THE POTOMAC REGATTA, Races Witnessed by a Large Gather- ing on Saturday. The annual Potomac river regatta, which was held over the National course below Georgetown on Saturday evening, served to attract a larger crowd, almost, than any aquatic event in this vicinity since the Hanlon-Courtney fizzle. The shores were ined at all advantageous points with spec- tators, eager to view the contests with the sweeps, and the houses of the boat clubs were filled with gaily-dressed and lively crowds, who enthusiastically cheered the representative crews as they went forth to race, and yelled their throats hoarse when the victorious crews came paddling back to the float. There were hundreds of boats of all sorts on the bosom of the river itself, each with its complement of sport-lovers, and the scene was picturesque in the ex- treme. It was nearly 3 o'clock when the steamer Bartholdi cast off from Cumberiand’s wharf, carrying the referee, Dr. Conrad Berens, the commodore of the Schuylkill Navy of Philadelphia; the timers, who were W. B. Hibbs of the Columbias, W. M. Offiey of the Potomac and J. K. Marshall of the Analostans, and the representatives of the press. The judges of the finish were W. A. McKenney, G. A. M. Fague and F. J. Blair, while the boats were started by Adam Johnson and J. E. a First race, for junior eights, was won by Analostans, Potomacs second, Columbias third. Time, 8.33 4-5. Second race, junior singles—DeBurlo of the Vesper Club of Philadelphia won, Reitz of the Ariels of Baltimore second, Uhrbrock, Baltimore Athletic Club, third, and Farlin, Potomac Boat Club, fourth.

Sixth race, senior fours—Ariels won, Co- lumbias second. Time, 10.17. Seventh race, intermediate eights—Wesh- ington Post cup—Fairmount of Philadelphia won, Columbias second. Time, 8.11.

RACING AT DENVER. ‘Wheelmen’s Tourna- ment. The closing day's races of the wheelmen’s tournament at Denver, Saturday, were witnessed by the largest crowd during the meet. Not an accident of any kind hap- pened to mar the day’s pleasure, and the races were thoroughly enjoyed by the 11,000 people present. Zeigler, the “Little De- mon” from San Jose, Cal., was the hero of the day, and the question, “Who will take Zimmerman’s place?” was answered by his performances. Two-thirds mile, open, class B—E. C.
