LATE SPORTING NEWS|DISPOSAL OF GARBAGE SPLIT EVEN AT PITTSBURG. Mercer Knocked Out of the Box by the “Pirates.” A sample of the “management” suffered by the Washington Base Ball Club since the memory of man was afforded Saturday at Pittsburg. Mercer was in the box for the Washingtons in the first game, and held the Pirates down to eleven scattered hits, the Senators winning by 11 to 4. Who was responsible for his going into the second game the telegraphic reports do not indi. cate. But it is nothing unusual. It is the way many a game has been thrown away by the local club (not this season only). Many a time a pitcher has been kept in the box who was being hit hard, when a man- ager of good judgment would have promptly substituted some one else, Saturday Mer- cer went In to pitch the second game, and, — of course, was knocked out of won the second by 15 to 6.

Today’s Philadelphia Inquirer. says: The Impression that something big will happen in the base ball world shortly is strength- ened by the fact that the magnates have been holding frequent conferences of late, not in a body, but in twos and threes. On Friday night President Von der Ahe of St. Louis, Harry Von der Horst of Baltimore and Managers William Barnte of Louisville and Gus Schmelz of Washington were all at the Hotel Hanover together, and, although it was denied that they were there on busi- ness, they held a lengthy conference to- gether in one of the parlors. On Saturday night W. H. Nimick, ex-pres- ident of the Pittsburg National League Club, arrived here, and he met President Von der Ahe at Green's Hotel. Mr. Nimick said that while he was out of base ball he still took @ lively interest in the game. He thought the time was ripe for the reorganization of the American Assetiation, although he said he did not see how the present twelve-club circuit can be broken up. In regard to transferring games from the west, Mr, Nimick agreed with Mr. Von der Ahe, and said that such a step would detract from national interest now manifested in the sport. The news from Chicago that Al Johnson would reorganize the players’ league, Mr. Nimick did not believe, although he said the project as outlined in the news- Papers was perfectly feasible, especially if Mr. Johnson donated his $100,000, The Departmental League. Pet. 760) Ie. O. D. Extending the Local League Schedule The board of governors of the Depart- mental League will extend the schedule of the league because a number of clubs did not play as many games with the Arsenal team as others did before that clab dis- banded. An additional schedule of five games has been arranged which will place all the teams on an equal footing, and it was adopted. The teams from the bureau of engraving and frinting, the Post Office Department, the pension office and the War Department will each play two more games, and the city post office and Treasury De- partment teems will each play one more game. The city post office and Treasury Depart- ment nines will play two games at Capitol Park this afternoon, closing the schedule originally adopted, and tonight the board of governors will select the dates for the ad- ditional five games. THANKSGIVING DAY’S GAME. The Georgetown-Columbia Foot Ball Contest to Take Place. ‘The report that the Georgetown College foot ball team would not play the Thanks- giving day game with the Columbia Ath- letie Club, owing to the fact that they had entered a college league which forbade @ contest with other than college teams, ts pronounced without foundation, as the Columbia’s manager has received definite word relative to the game from Manager Horsey of the college eleven. The rival teams will meet as usual. The names of those to play on each side will be sub- mitted long before the game comes off, so that neither side will have the chance at the last moment of running in professfon- al or objectionable players. This year the Columbias will hold all their practice games on their own field tn Van Ness Park. This will save the club nearly $500 ‘bus hire and ficld rent. Capt. Blv- ins of the Washington players has al- ready begun to make preliminary arrange- ments for the game. He feels confident of a Columbia victory. Gener Sports. The first bicycle race ever ridden by ladies took place at St. Louis Saturday. The la- dies wore bloomers, and Miss Waldon, paced, made a record of 2.58 for a mile. At the sale of the Leigh & Rose stable in New York Saturday, Clifford was sold to R. L. Rose, one of the partners, for $25,000, Saturday's races at Alexander Island were won by Columbus, McKeever, Day- break, Laura and Topmast. The’ good Js tournament at Asbury ark, N. J., ended Saturday. Billy Plimmer, the bantam champion, and Johnny Murphy of Boston have signed to meet in New Orleans, At the bicycle races at Riverton, N. J., Saturday E. A. Bofinger reduced the track segord for one mile from 2.23 3-5 to 2.19 2-5, cesar 1 Improved Sanitary Methods in Use Here ” and The System of Crenjpi cm Has Proved Practical and to Free From Objectionablé Features. From the Boston Medical aud Journal. Within the past ten years or more public attention has been aroused to the necessity of better methods of disposing of the offal, garbage and refuse of cities than those which had hitherto existed. In inland cities especially, the collection and final disposal of the putrescible material resulting from the waste of hotels, restaurants, boarding houses and private families has proved a serious question to local boards of health until radical measures were adopted to rem- edy the evil. The ancient swill cart, with its leaky contents, traveling slowly through inhabited streets, proved to be a nuisance, which the authorities were often importuned to abate. No less objectionable was the feeding of such material to domestic ani- mals. In Massachusetts a statute was en- acted fn 1880 prohibiting the feeding of such garbage to milch cows, but no bar was imposed upon its use as food for swine, not- withstanding the fact that investigations of the state board of health upon several thou- sand hogs fed upon the offal produced by the city of Boston showed that thirteen per cent of these animals, when slaughtered for use as food, proved to be infected with trichinae. Epidemics of this disease occur- red in the state in 1892, resulting in the loss of several human lives. In seaboard cites a partial remedy had been effected by towing the material out to sea, leaving It to be disposed of at a distant point from the shore. Objections have been made to this method, in consequence of the nuisance caused by floating material driven ashore by easterly gales, and by the dif- culty of such disposal in rough weather. To remedy these evils, the plan of burning or otherwise treating the garbage at a central collecting station has been adopted in sev- eral cities in this country—at Milwaukee, Buffalo, Providence, Detroit, St. Paul, Chi- cago, Lowell and other places. The pro- cesses employed may practically be divided into two classes,destruction or cremation by fire, and rendering or treating the material in such manner as to utilize a portion of it. In one of these processes, for example, the fat is extracted for use in making soap and candles, while a portion of the remainder is ccnverted into fertilizers. Destroyed by Machinery. England has the reputation of being the country where the practice of cremating garbage originated, or, at least, where 1i has been more thoroughly accomplished; and at the present time about fifty English tities and towns are now suppiied with de structors of some sort or other. The first was built. at Manchester in 1878. A sum- mary of the operations of: these establish- ments has just been~ published by Mr. Charles Jones of Ealing, near London, which gives many facts which are worthy of note. Mr. Jones obtained his facts mainly by means of circulars addressed to the author- ities of many English citles and towns, and from the replies to thede circulars val- uable information may be dbtained. Omitting some of the technical details, we find that 46 English:¢ities were supplied with 51 establishments, {gr treating oftal, garbage, refuse, &c. The area of the dis- tricts from which collections were made varied from 406 acres in the densely sett! district of Whitechapel,’London, to 21,572 acres at Leeds. The largest population sup- plied by a single plant was that of Liver- pool. In the case of 33 towns all of the house refuse is burred; in the remaining towns a part is burned and a portion other- wise disposed of; in Liverpool a part is towed out to sea. The quantity of mate- rial collected varied front 10 loads per day in a town of 10,000 inhabitants to 609 loads per day at Birmingham. The cost of collection, exclusive of in- terest in the plant, varied from 11 pence per load at Southampton to 4 shillings 6 Pence per load at Battersea (one of the London establishments). The materials treated in these destructors differ according to the circumstances and conditions pre- valling in the cities where they are located. The following summary presents the aver- age composition of he refuse collected at Paddington (a district of London), as stated by Prof. Forbes: In Every 10,000 Tons. Tons. Ashes . eeee 5,200 Breeze 5 2,880 Animal and vegetab! 1,420 Pottery, &c. 290 Coal 15 Bones 3 42 Iron 35, Brass and pewte! 3 White glass...... 7 Black glass. 2B g 10, The annual amount per inhabitant was 3.6 cwt. The foregoing represents a fair average composition of the ash and dust- bin refuse of a city in which water closets are employed. It is not strictly comparable with the material treated in most American cities using destructors, in consequence of the absence of ashes in the latter, this form of refuse in America usually being separated and used for filling of waste and low lands. The dust bins of the London streets, almost unknown in most American cities, receive the street sweepings and horse droppings. In some localities great pains are taken to separate all portions of the refuse which can be made available from an economical point of view. The New Refuse Disposal Company at Chelsea on the Thames pro- vides for the sorting of refuse by machin- ery. Each load is dumped into a revolving screen, and the cinders and fine coal are separated for fuel, the paper and rags are made into wrapping paper on the premises, bones, glass and iron are separated and sold. The organic material is ground up with the fine dust, and converted into fer- tilizers, and the whole process is conduct- ed without offense to the neighborhood. In addition to these materials, at Bir- mingham and at Leeds, the pail system is in use for a considerable portion of the population instead of water closets, and the contents of these pails are collected at in- tervals and treated at the same establish- ment with the garbage and ashes; and again, at Ealing, where the town is sup- plied with a good system of sewers, the sewage is treated by chemical precipitation, and the resulting sludge burned in the destructor with the garbage. Another eco- nomic point is the utilization of the re- sulting cinders or ash produced by tfie pro- cess of burning. This ash ean be converted into a cement of good quality, as Is done at Birmingham, where stables, and houses for the workmen, were shown to the writer, the walls of which were coastructed of this cement. It also makes a yery good material for roads and sidewalks. The Question of ‘Annoyance. One of the most imporfant sanitary ques- tions in Mr. Jones’ circular, and one which is at present exciting much interest in this country, is that of possible nuisance or an- noyance to the surrounding neighborhood in consequence of foul odors from the smoke and gases of combustion. The question was put in the following form: “Have com- plaints ever been made as to smell from chimney or otherwise?” To this question twenty-seven authorities answered with an unqualified “No;” and in several of the remaining instances it was stated there had been no complaints after “fume cremators” had been intro- duced to destroy foul odors before the smoke and gases were admitted to the chimney stack. In most instances the chimney 1s quite high, averaging about 175 feet above the ground. It appears to be quite practicable, judg- ing from the results of these inquiries, to conduct such processes, even in crowded localities, without giving annoyance to the surrounding nelghborhood. The establish- ments in London, in Birmingham and in Leicester are In the most densely settled districts. One of the numerous plates and diagrams with which Mr. Jones’ book ts illustrated shows the establishment at Leicester in close proximity to dwelling houses and a large public school house, Robert Dorsey, formerly sergeant in the fifty-fifth Massachusetts volunteers, has been elected to represent that regiment at the G. A. R. encampment at Pittsburg on the 10th instant, ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS Death of MW. B,- Hay, Who Recently Shot Himself, ‘The New Extension of the Electric Bailway Tracks—Some Notes About Persons Nat. B. Hay, who took morphine with suicidal intent on Wednesday last, died at the Exchange Hotel at 9:20 o’clock yester- day morning, after lying in an unconscious condition for more than ninety-three hours. From the time that Mr. Hay was first found in his room by the clerk until he died he received the best possible medical attention and nursing, but at no time did he show any signs of regaining consciousness. The phy- sicians say that it was the most remarkable case they ever saw or heard of, and assign the cause to Mr. Hay’s remarkable consti- tution. The remains were taken to Madison Court House,where they will be interred this afternoon. Mr. Hay was thirty-one years old in May, and was much beloved by all who knew him, and the sympathy of the entire community is with his mother and family. Had he lived he would have been married in November to Miss Annie Ayers of Danville, to whom he was engaged. Miss Ayers, from all that can be learned, was perfectly devoted to him, and several letters have been received from her during his illness. Each day three reports as to his condition were sent by wire. There is as yet no cause assigned for his rash act. The churches yesterday were fairly well attended, and in all the resident officiated.

It will be remembered that several weeks ago George Beach was quite badly hurt by falling into an ash box while attempting to stop the horses attached to the truck, which were running away, while returning from a fire. Mr. Beach so far as to be able to be out again, but on Friday he was seized with congestion of the brain as a result of his injuries, and died on Sat- urday morning. A widow and three chil- dren survive him, The remains of J. A.

A great deal of annoyance and embar- rassment will be caused a number of local incorporations on account of the failure of the President to sign the bill pro- viding a simple method for corporations renewing their charter. The bill was passed in the closing days of Con- gress and “went to the President. It was sent to the Commissioners and returned with favorable indorsement and request for his signature. In some manner the bill was overlooked and did not receive the official sanction neces- sary to make it a law. Between this time and the assembling of Congress in December the charters of a number of prominent corporations will ex- pire. There is a method for the renewal of charters, but it involves some expensive and annoying features. It will be neces- sary for each corporation to effect a com- plete reorganization and the transfer of its property to a trustee, together with transfer of stock. No corporation will lose its charter, but all of the expense and annoyance could have been saved by a stroke of the President's pen, as it is un- derstood there is no objection td the amend- ments which the bill proposes to the gen- eral incorporation law. SRS GRAPE GROWERS REFUSED. Collapse of the Proposed California Wine Deal. The wine deal which was to have revolu- tionized the wine business of California and enabled everybody to operate at a profit has been declared off. The grape growers refused to accept the terms offered by the wine dealers’ syndicate. The grape growers charge the wine dealers with at- tempting to crush out the private wineries by refusing to make agreements with them, as the contracts were fixed for five years. ——_- eee A Juvenile Tournament. Correspondence of the Evening Star. THE PLAINS, Va. August 29, 1894 A highly creditable and much enjoyed ju- venile tournament came off at Rock Valley, near this village, Friday last, and was wit- nessed by a large number of visitors and invited guests, many of whom, including some of the young participants, were from Washington. The excellent riding of the miniature knights, arrayed tn glistening and becom- ing armor, elicited the deserved plaudits of the assembly. The manner in which the boys conducted themselves and managed their steeds, all fine animals, was greatly to their credit. The winning knight was Master Henry Wise, son of Dr. Wise of the navy. Miss Fannie Flemming was crowned queen of beauty, and Jcsephine Meade was the first maid of honor. The riders were: Henry Wise, as Knight of Crescent; Knight of Bleak Hill, James Murray; Knight of Rock Valley, Gay Leroux; Knight of White Plains, Willie Slaughter; Knight of Eden- burgh, Ernest Schane; Knight of Glen Bot- tom, Richard Meade; Knight of de Morti- mier, Murray Cobb; Knight of Blue Hole, Douglas Wise; Knight of Glenville, John Ramey; Knight of Marshall, Wade Frost; Knight of Kinleck, Edward Turner. The grand marshal was Morris Stuart. The coronation of the queen occurred at the residence of Robert Murray. Miss Lucie Mortimer was the hostess of the occasion, and was the recipient of many congratulations upon the success of the tournament and the pleasure afforded. An elegant repast was furnished by Miss Alice Murray of Rock Valley Manor, after which dancing was indulged in by both young and old for the balance of the after- noon and evening. ee The steamer Caracas, which recently ar- rived at New York from Venezuela, reports that considerable dissatisfaction still contin- ues among the lower classes of that coun- try, but np igimediaty outbreak was feared.
