Damage Caused by the Recent Earth- quake Shocks. The earthquake shocks of Saturday seem to have been felt more severely in Flor- ence, Italy, and its neighborhood than at other places, although Siena, Pisa, Plac. tia, Bologna, Parma and Rome wereuelso shaken. In Florence the National Museum, on the Via Proconsole, has been inuch damaged. This building, once the Podesta palace, was begun in 1255, and was formerly the resi- dence of the podesta or chief magistrate of Florence. Several historical nalares hava heen Saab shaken, and & number of famous ealleries The celsbratea Monastery of La Certosa, near Galluzzo, is damaged. In La Certosa is the monumental slab known as the Young Warrior, by Dona- tello, and other remarkable monuments. At the Drogheria, or drug department of the monastery, the famous Chartreuse of Italy and a number of delicate perfumes are made, A number of other historic structures near the city have also besn racked. The inhabitants of the city and neighbor- hood are returning to their dwellings, ap- parently satisfied that there is no longer any danger. Thousands spent Saturday and Sunday nights in the streets, seme camping out in fear of falling buildings, others wandering about examining the damage done and watching those who had fled from their homes at the first sounds of the subterra- neous disturbance. Gradually the authorities are obtaining a correct idea of the amount cf dainage done. The villages near the city have suffered more severely than at first reported, though the damage is principally In the shape of badly shaken houses. But days must elapse before an accurate estimate of loss can be made. ——_—-ee_--_— Continental Chapter. Continental Chapter, D. A. R., Mrs. M. A.

Lea Many Other Notes of Local and Gen- eral Interest — Another Prisoner Escapes From the Work House. Much interest is being taken in the meet- ing at the home of Miss Kate Stuart, on Kirg street, which is to take place this evening, for the purpose of arranging plans for the formation of an Ann Lee Monument Association for the purpose of erecting a Monument to the mother of Gen. Robert E. Lee. The interest in the matter is not confined to Alexandria alone, for Miss Stuart is daily in rece!pt of letters from all over the country making inquiries about the plans. After the formation of the Alexandria branch of the association branches will be formed among the women in every southern state, who will be asked to co-operate’ in the work. It is hoped in the course of a year or two to have the monument erected. Humane Society. The Humane Society made their second arrest yesterday evening, when D. W. Napper, a colored man, was charged with ill-treating a,cow he was driving to the ferry wharf. The cow was held in custody by the society at F. A. Reed & Co.'s ice house yard. The arrest drew a large crowd of spectators, who seemed greatly amused at the occurrence. Last night the mayor called an extra session at the station house to dispose of the case, but as the testimony Was not sufficient he dismissed it. Fire Fiend. ‘There was another alarm of fire last night at a few minutes past 11 o'clock, caused by the burning of a small shanty occupied by Mary Green, a colored woman. The whole department responded to the alarm, and in a short while put out the flames. It is the general opinion of the members of the fire companies that there is a fire fiend in the second ward, as this makes two fires in forty-eight hours, and they were both set on fire the same way. Police Court. Mayor Strauss this morning disposed of the following cases,at the police station: Chas. Butler, charged drunk, disorderly and assault on Chas. Cleveland; fined $5. Ben- jamine Kelly, charged disorderly conduct; fired $2.50. John Kelly and Geo. Kurne, charge, defacing the property of George Reat; fined $1. Gib Sampson; charge, as- sault on Dennis Harris; dismissed for want of evidence. Bertie Day, the young colored woman " was fined $20 and sent to the work yesterday for robbing a white man Saturdey night, escaped from the work house this morning. The mayor has ordered the police to keep a sharp lookout for her, and if caught she will have her sentence lengthened.

Mrs. Pauline Lurant of Boston is visit- ing relatives in this city. A preliminary meeting will be held in a few days for the purpose of reviving the soe Men's Christian Association of this city.

Sir Wm. Vernon Harcourt, the leader of the house of commons, was worried in the house last night by Dr. Donald McGregor, the Scotch liberal member from Inver- nesshire, respecting the government's in- tentions toward the Croftons bill. Sir Wil- liam replied that he would make a state- ment on Thursday next. Dr. McGregor angrily exclaimed: “That is not good enough for me,” and the house shouted with laughter as he rose and paced the gangway with stately step, stood in the center of the floor, bowed solemnly to the speaker and then, turning his back on the chair, walked out of the house. He announced to the reporters that he intend- ed _to resign his seat immediately. Dr. MecGregor’s action is an open ex- pression of the dissatisfaction of certain of the Scotch Mberals at the shelving of Scotch business in the house. Dr. McGregor carried out the threat and resigned his seat. The liberal wire pullers ere working hard to induce him to recon- sider his action, especially as the govern- ment majority in last night's debate on the Welsh Church disestablishment bill fell to nine. Lord Rosebery is back in London, but he failed to appear last night in the house of lords. > The Chronicle says: “When it is clear that unless something is done to draw the party together the government is doomed.” In the Division. The authorities have been considering the question of keeping minors out of the “Di- and included in this list are the messenger boys, who are called to the houses so frequently. Lieut. Amiss sug- gested that the Commissioners enact a regulation governing the matter, but then he considered that it would be wrong to recoguize the existence of such houses and his recommendation was withdrawn. It was finally decided to notify the keepers of these unlawful places that permitting minors in their houses will mean a raid and prosecution. Last night Policeman Flathers arrested a boy named Bernard Forsyth, whom he found in the “Division” un the influence of liquor. The boy sells flowers at the houses of ill-fame, and last night two men to whom he sold flowers gave him whisky. The “fire water” made the boy hilarious, and Policeman Flathers, unable to quiet him,-locked him up and had him before Judge Kimball this morning. The court heard the case and said that these boys should not be permitted to go to these houses of ill-fame. It was ex- plained that the boy in this case only went to the doors of the houses, but even this Judge Kimball thought wes wrong. Bernard was lectured and released, and the court told him if he did not keep out of the “Division” he would instruct the officers to arrest him. SS Drove a Cow. John Harris, a colored cattle driver, was a priscner in the Police Court this morn- ing because he was found driving a cow on Florida avenue two hours after the time allowed by law. Under the regula- tions cattle may be driven on Florida ave- rue northeast between 10 p.m. and 6 6 a.m., but John was found driving the cow about 8 o'clock. Judge Kimball was unable to see what harm the man and cow could do in the mud holes on Florida avenue, but the law prohibits it, and he warned Harris that he must be more careful in the future. His personal bonds were taken. 444 SENATORS LOSE AGAIN. = Pat Donovan and, Associates Down His Fotsier Club. Mercer was a mystery until the eighth inning in the game-at Pittsburg yesterday, when Pittsburg found him for four hits and scored four runs; Three more hits in the ninth won the game. The Washing- tons batted hard, Joyce, Coogan and Ab- bey making triples, Hawley was effective, however, at critical moments, striking out five men. Louisville’ did not play, and Washington consequently dropped nearer the bottom. When’ the club finally reaches there a sigh of relfef will follow, for the club can drop no further.

The heavy batting of the former :eam, however, won the game, and so these two clubs change places in the record of the league in consequence of the defeat. McManaway did all the playing for the soldiers and saflors, while Sprigman and McKee played excellent ball for the mail clerks. Sprigman also made six base hits out of six times at the bat. Three pitchers were tried by the Army and Navy team, but none of them could stem the tide of base hits. The game was by far the best that has been played by the teams in this league, and although the attendance was small, the enthusiasm was there, and made up for the empty seats. The game was started on time, and the energy and snap that sharacterized the work of both teams was refreshing. The score: { A. and N. -0.4.E.| -H.0.A.E. 10 a's, 14°10 60 100 5 4!

The deal by which Edie Burke of the New York Base Ball Club was to have been transferred to Louisville is off. Louisville made an offer for the left fielder, which was accepted, and Burke was notified to report at that place for duty yesterday. Louisville withdrew the preposition yester- day morning. The suit of Pitcher Mark Baldwin of the Pottsville club, formerly with Philadelphia, against Chris Von der Ahe of St. Louis, to recover $10,000 for false arrest, has “been placed on trial at Pittsburg. The most pectiliar instance of the fight now in progress for the championship of the National League is that the western teams are sbowing up stronger than usual. —New York Recorder. The western teams are showing up stronger than usual for the n that they have been playing on their own grounds. Then, too, all have had a chance early in the season at that good thing—the Washingtons—and have thereby increased their percentages. Arthur Irwin seems to be as great a fall- ure as a manager at Philadelphia as he was here. The club managers have made him quit the coaching lines, where he lost more games than the club could win. Yes- terday h> completely lost his hgad and put Pitcher Grady on third base “instead of Reilly. This started a comedy of errors and 16 unearned runs were scored. The Cincinnati Enquirer has the follow- Ing to say about Thursday's game between the Senators and Cincinnatis: Larry Mc- Keon in his palmiest days and Frank Fore- man, who used to be slower than moral law, were, when at their slowest, fast pitchers in comparison with Malarkey. There is no danger of this youngster ever overlooking a point from being in a hurry. The truth of the matter is that no club in the country is patronized by such fair and impartial spectators as the Cincinnati club. Cincinnati patrons never fail to give credit where credit is due.—Cincinnati En- quirer. HARVARD DECLINES. Cannot Deny Truth of Charges Against Yale's Foot Ball Players. The correspondence between Harvard and Yale relative to the arrangements of a foot ball game next fall has been made public. It consists of two letters. In Capt. Thorn’s letter to Capt. Brewer he states that during the past four of five months charges have been,made against the Yale team that originated In one coming from a Harvard “coach.” The oniy reply by Yale was a denial on the part of the offi- cials of the Springfield game of the truth of the charges, which reflected, not only on the Yale team, but on the university itself. He says it was possible for Har- vard to have neutralized the serious effect of these rumors by contradicting them, and adds that unless such contradictions are made the Yale team has decided not to arrange another: foot ball game with BEFORE from a most hor- rible blood dis- ease I had spent hundreds of dollars trying various remedies and physi- cians, none of which did me any good.

Thorn is impossible for them to grant, and expresses general regret at the prospect. Too Mach Young Blood. There is just a shade too much of young blood on the Washington team. With a few more tried players the Senators, with either Mercer or Maul in the box, ought to be fast enough to give any team in the league an argument. Cartwright is a good batter, but he is a long ways from being a first-class first baseman. He is like a wooden man when the ball is thrown low to him.—Cincinnati Enqvirer.

The report of the visiting committee, which has been charged with negotiations with the Presbyterian divin- ity schools of the United States looking to the changes in their fundamental laws, such as would bring their endowments and their faculties under ‘direct supervision of the Presbyterian Church was adopted without modification by a vote of 432 to 98, after a debate that equaled in power and burning interest any ever held in a general assembly. The report carries with it a recommenda- tion that the seminary charters be changed 80 as to give the church as represented by the general assembly the standing of a quasi-corporation having the power to ap- pear in the courts of the states and to maintain proceedings to enforce the con- trol over the teaching and funds of the institutions. By this action of the general assembly the Presbyterian Church demon- strates its inteation and its power to claim its own and to care for its own, whether it be in the theological seminary or in the mission boards. ——— Gov. 0’Ferrall Here. The governor of Virginia and Mrs. O’Fer- rall and a party of Mrs. O’Ferrall’s lady friends reached Washington last night,and today are spending the day at Mount Ver- non, in attendance upon the meeting of the board of lady regents. At the Metropoli- tan Hotel, where the party is stopping, Gov. O'Ferrall this morning pleaded in- ability to see newspaper men on account of his previous engagements. This departure from his usual custom of receiving re- porters whenever their cards are presented is taken as an intimation that the governor has nothing to make public at present about what he proposes to do jp the way of eradicating the evils across the river at Jackson City and Rosslyn, in his common- wealth. ——__—_ President Tyler's Grandson Buried.
