The Washingieg: team took tenth place in the league racéyesterday, going above St. Louis and Loyj$fille, and making evident the fact that thame two teams are the Sena- tors’ rivals in*¥heir efforts to leave the rear. They tag. yesterday’s game from Louisville by hard and consecutive batting in the seventh.jmfing, when the score was 4 to 1 for Louisvide. Cartwright started off with a double, Googan got four balls and Cartwright stole third, scoring on Welch’s wild throw to catch him. After Abbey had gone out Stockdale hit for three bases, scoring Coogan: McDermott gave Crooks a base on‘ balls. Crooks stole second, and then Joyce kmgeked a two-bagger and Crooks scored. Selbach got a life on Glass- cock’s fumble, and both he and Joyce were advanced by a passed ball. Hassamer’s out to center scored Joyce. This resulted in five runs and gave the visitors the game. Neither side scored again. This makes Washington's third consecutive victory on the trip, ten games having been played. This average is too low to keep the club in tenth place. By the way Joyce has been batting lately It is plain that he is again in form.

Action to Stop Racing to Be Taken by Indiana, The Lake county, Ind.,circuit court having dissolved its temporary restraining order against Roby, the state will at once take action to put a stop to racing at that place. The local authorities have exhausted their resources, and Goy. Matthews says he is determined that the Roby Association shall be suppressed so far as disobeying the laws of the state is concerned. . “Those fellows have determined and ar- Trogantly boasted that they will continue racing in defiance of the law,” said Gov. Matthews. “I assure you that they will not do anything of the kind. The state will take steps at once to maintain the law and the state will win. I cannot say now just what will be done, as I do not want to dis- cuss it, but my plans are made and the state will win the fight.” It is understood that the battle will be fought in the courts. Attorney General Ketcham has been in consultation with the Chicago authorities as to their proceedings toward Hawthorne, but what nature the fight will take is, as yet, a state secret. Snubbed Corbett. The following is the text of the reply sent by Matchmaker Fleming of the Na- tional Sporting Club of London to the dis- patch of Manager Brady, expressing Cor- bett’s willingness to entertain a -proposi- tion for a match with Jackson before that club: “Owing to the insulting remarks made by Corbett and yourself respecting the National Sporting Club, we decline to entertain the proposition for a contest be- tween Corbett and: Jackson.” Fivé.

The Arsenals Once More. The Arsenals defeated the Old Dominions of Alexandria yesterday at Alexandria by the score of 24 to 6. Gilsey, the Arsenals’ pitcher, eased up in the eighth inning, al- lowing them to score six runs. Gilsey’s work in the box was superb, he striking out fourteen men and only giving two bases on balls and allowing only three hits. Myers caught him in great style, while the whole infield ficided finely. The Arsenals pounded the ball for keeps, Nor- ten leading with a home run, a three-bag- ger and two singles. Ennis, Dale and Mer- Till also batted well, as did McLaughlin. The winning battery was Gilsey and Myers. | Rowdy Celebration by Students. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 15.—The Har- vard Freshmen bail nine is in a fair way to be prohibited from playing any. more games this year. After a recent game with the sophomores, the '98 rooters used fire- arms in their celebration of the victory, which is an express violation of orders, and, furthermore, they mobbed the yard policemen when ‘they tried to interfere with the general jubilee.

In the court-martial at the Brooklyn navy yard yesterday of Fleet Surgeon Kershner, some delay was occasioned by the absence of Capt. Glass of the Cincin- nati, whose testimony was desired by the court. When the captain had taken the witness chair he swore that he had been appo:nted, by Admiral Meade, president of the court of inquiry held on board the United States cruiser New York, off King- ston, Jamaica, on April 6. The court was appointed to investigate how certain mat- ters pertaining to the Naval Department had come to appear in the newspapers. He administered the oath to Dr. Kershner and the doctor had testified that he had only sent a copy of the second indorsement to the surgeon general of the navy in a per- sonal letter. The doctor's testimony was read over to him, and so was the testimony of every other witness, Mr. Choate began to cross-examine Capt. Glass, and Lieut. Laucheimer watched his every motion very closely. The senio counsel for the defense asked Capt. Giass if, when he arrived at the navy yard, he did not have a conversation with the judge advocate in reference to the case.. Laucheimer objected, and Mr. CHoate put three or four other questions in the same vein, to each of which the judge advocate objected. The court was cleared, and in two min- utes it was opened again. The objections were sustained. Mr. Choate asked the witness if the judge advocate had not told Dr. Kershner that the object of the inquiry was to find out if any verbatim cop'es of the reports and in- dorsements had been sent out by him. Lieut. Laucheimer objected, and once more the court was cleared. The objection was overruled. The question was then re- peated, and Capt. Glass said he did not think the word “verbatim’’ was used ¢ur- ing Dr. Kershner's examination. Mr. Choate then read from the re) of the inquiry in which the word batim” occurred. As soon as Capt. Glass left the chair Lieut. Laucheimer asked for an adjourn- ment on the ground that the stenographer had as much notes as he could conveniently transcribe by this morning. The prosecu- tion, however, consented to have the de- fense open, with the proviso that they (the prosecution) could call other witnesses later if they so desired. Lawyer Hinsdale began in a very brief speech the opening for the defense. He claimed that the accused doctor had prob- ably been examined a hasty manner without counsel, and based his defense on the ground that Dr. Kershner was exam- ined as to sending “verbatim” copies of the reports. Dr. Kershner on the Stand. The doctor was then called to the stand. In reply to Mr. Hinsdale, he said he en- tered the navy on September 2, 1861. While on board the Cumberland, as assistant sur- geon at the time that ship was sunk, he was the last man to leave the vessel. He remained on board attending to the wound- ed below long after the order to “abandon ship’ was given. He crawled upon deck, when he saw there was no chance of sav- ing any of the unfortunate men below, and the ship sank from under his feet in Hamp- ton Roads. The official report of the battle giving the doctor honorable mention was then offered ‘in evidence. Witness said he remained in active service until May, 1805, and then was assigned to government cruisers. He told of all the different ships on which he had since served, as well as the shore duty which he performed, up to the time of his appointment to the cruiser New York, in 1893. ris “ver- Coming ‘up to the cruise of the North Atlantic squadron early in this year, the witness said that he was fleet surgeon, and was very careful so that no fever could possibly come on board. While off St. Lucia he believed that there was fever ashore, and he persistently re- fused to allow any water from the shore to come on board. His suspicions as to fever on shore were afterward found to be well founded. When the ship anchored off Bridgetown, Barbadoes, which is about eight miles from St. Lucia, the witness aid he was still very watchful’ that no contagion should come near her. When the request for assistance came frem the Nova Scotian bark, the doctor, after hearing the description of the sick men, felt sure that he showed symptoms of yellow fever. “When Capt. Evans spoke to me,” said the witness, “I told him of the danger of either going myself or sending an assistant to the bark, fearing to bring contagion abcard. If I had not spoken so to the cap- tain I would have been derelict in my duty. I did not refuse to go or send a docior, for it the captain had ordered me to do s0, I most certainly would have obeyed. As’ it was, however, Capt. Evans went and saw ‘Admiral Meade, as he did not dare to take the responsibility of issuing the order him- self. When he came back and told me that the admiral had ordered assistance to be sent, I immediately sent Dr. Cook.” At this point the court again adjourned until today. STOPPID —— CROSSINGS, A’ B. and O. Trains and the H Street Death-Trap. Thomas Collins, an engineer on the Bal- timore and Ohio railroad, was in the Po- lice Court teday, charged with violating the police regulations, and the case went over until Monday. The particular charge against the defendant is that he failed to. stop his incoming train before going over the H street crossing. Lawyers Hamilton and Colbert, who represent the railroad company, will contest the case and will claim that the Commissioners had no right to make this particular regulation. Members of the Northeast Washington Citizens’ Association have been deeply in- terested in this law, and it was because of the interest shown in the matter by them that the Commissioners made the regula- tion. The law applies to incoming trains on the Washington branch of the road and was deemed esseritial because of the dan- gerous curve at this crossing, which nas resulted in the loss of several lives, and it was to prevent a slaughter of citizens that the regulation was enacted. But the railroad company, so it is said, has in- structed its engineers not to comply with the provisions of the act, as the company would rather pay damages for a death than lose a minute or less by stopping trains at this dangerous crossing. —— Awarded Damages. In the case of John W. Brooke against the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company the jury late yesterday after- noon returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, awarding him $2,000 damages. On the 8th of June, 1893, the wife of the plaintiff, while alighting from a car at 6th street and Pennsylvania avenue, was thrown to the ground, suffering a broken arm. Claiming that the accident was the result of the premature starting of the car, Mr. Brocke sued the road for $10,000 damages. The company contended that the accident was the result of Mrs. Brooke's she having been warned by ctor of the car.

Volkman brought.to the station last night a demented man, who has wan- dered from place to vlace aimlessly for several years. He acknowledges having escaped ‘from the Staunton, Va., asylum, by jumping from a rear window. In many places he was locked up by the authorities and then shipped to other cities. The last place he was in was Cumberland. They gave him there passage on a train to Wash- ington. Here he was dumped. He wan- dered from house to house, in the country |akout, frightening women throvgh his queer actions and rambling talk. He was brought to the notice of the police here by a Canal road resident, who persuaded the demented fellow to accompany him to town. Then he was left in charge of a man at Darnes’ livery stable, while Lieut. Swin- dells had his attention called to the case. The man is provided with scant clothing. His forehead is low, his eyes weak looking and his hair wild appearing. Successful Entertainment. There was a delightful entertainment last night at the Lutheran Church, the first affair of its kind in many years. The church was packed, standing room even not being available after 8 o'clock. For the corvenience of the talent a platform had been raised where the pulpit usually stands. Around this was barked plants and flowers. The committee in charge was composed of Mr. Otto H. Fischer, chair- man; Miss Louise Semmelbower, Miss Ma- tilda Koester, Miss Mamie Allen and: Mr. M. J. Rehr. Mr. Wm. C. Fischer, the president of the Y. P. S. C. E., under whose auspices the affair was held, acted as master of ceremonies. Rev. Stanley Biilheimer, the new pastor, opened the evening with prayer, befitting the occasion. Those who participated in the program were Mr. Robert Lowe, Mr. J. Barton Miller, Miss Mabel Stewart, Mr. Morris Walmer, Miss Mattie Schneider, f. Weber and S Mamie Allen. Mr. Otto Fischer made an address appropriate to the evening. The strirg music by the ¥. C. E. was very creditable. Last night's enter- tainment was a success beyond the most sanguine hopes of the committee. Under the new administration, the Lutheran Church promises to increase her congre- gation rapidly, and special efforts will be made to sustain the interest of the young people in the church work. Notes. Mrs. Wm. J. Bennett of Tarboro’, N. C., is visiting Mrs. James L. Carberry of Ridge read. Mrs. Bennett was formerly Miss Howerton of Paris, Ky.
