Ef : AFFAIRS IN,ALEXANDRIA|LATE SPORTING NEWS —;- —_. \ A Mysterious Bundle of Olothes Causes yA Police Speculation. rs Many Other Intefésting Local Notes From Down the: River—Before the Polies Court. Yesterday morning a colored woman re- ported at the police headquarters that she had found a bundle’of women’s clothing on Shuter’s Hill and that some of it had spots of blood on it, but that she was afraid to move it. Capt. Webster sent Offl- cer McCuen out to investigate the matter, and he found the bundle as described ard brought it to the station house, and the matter is now being investigated. The po- lice do not attach much significance to the finding of the bundle, and hoot the idea of a mysterious murder with the body having een thrown into the reservoir, which, by the way, is half a mile from the place where the clothes were found. They will investigate the matter fully, however. Police Court. In the police court this mohing ‘Squire Thompson disposed of the following cases: Laura Robertson, Raymond Robertson and Kate Javins, for fighting, were fined $1 each. Kate Fisher, charged with indecent conduct and harboring a minor, was fined $5 and costs. Frank Page, charged with as- saulting and cutting Frank Nichols, was yent on to the grand jury. Harris Jack- son, John Willlams and Sam Dudley, three gmall boys, charged with breaking into the store of Mr. M. S. Lee, were sent on to the grand jury. Epworth League. There was a union meeting of the chap- ters of the Epworth League of this city in Trinity M. E. Church last night. Mr. Stakely, the evangelist, presided, and the meeting was a most interesting one. Some very fine music was rendered. There was a large crowd in attendance and a pleasant evening wus spent by all. Corporation Court. In the corporation court yesterday Mrs. Lucy J.

Frank Pierre Makes n Confession of Theft and Sings to His Sweetheart. In the room at police headquarters where Detective Proctor was under fire for two days, and where so much uneasiness and anxiety has been experienced by other members of the force, there was a free con- cert this morning, with but two perform- ers. One of them was Frank Pierre, a col- ored man, a confessed burglar, and the other was his sweetheart, Emma Hawkins, All the music was played by the man, while Emma sat there and listened to the strains of “In the Gloaming,” and felt that “what had been could never be.” Detectives Carter, Rhodes and Gallaher had arrested him for having robbed the bar room on the steamer Macalester of $76 and a pair of trousers and shoes. He was wearing the trousers, and had $52 In his pocket when the officers arrested him. With the exception of the articles of wear- ing apparel found on him, the officers had no direct proof of his crime, and so last night they went to the house of his sweet- heart and arrested her. They also recovered two guitars that Frank had purchased. When Frank and his sweetheart met face to face in headquarters this morning he weakened, and declared that Emma had nothing to do with the affair. “What do you want to say about it?” De- tective Carter asked him. “I did all of it myself,” was his response, “and Emma knew nothing of it.” This settled the investigation so far as the police were concerned, and then Frank played a number of airs on one of the in- struments he had bought with the stolen money, When the conecrt was over and the time had arrived when Frank must go to prison, he asked permission to say good-bye to Emma, and a great display of affection fol- lowed. Frank was then taken to court, and committed to jaf! for a hearing. State = Threw a Brick. Henry Wilson, a colored man, who likes to see a gloss on his shirt bosom, has been patronizing Yoe Wing’s laundry, so he says, and yesterday when he went to the laundry he was in the unpleasant situa- tion of having “no tickee,”” and the result was that he got “no washee.” It was not Henry's fault that he had lost his ticket, and he intended if possible to get his laun- dry. There was a war of words and the proprietor of the laundry stoutly decilned to deliver up the goods without the ticket. Henry made up his mind that he would ett his laundry or there would be trouble, He didn’t get his laundry and there was trouble. Wilson left the laundry and when he got outside he threw a brick through the window. The missile struck the celes- tial, but fortunately did not do much dam- age. Polkeman Holsey appeared upon the scene and arrested Wilson. Judge Miller heard the case today and sent the colored man where he will not need much laundry work done for six months. Mt.

LONDON, June 28.—in a discussion of yechting prospects this morning, the Times says: “If Valkyrie III can be handled by sixty tren, and is able to carry the pile of can- vas she has been loaded with, it is pretty certain that the America's cup will return to Great Britain. When measured, it is be- lieved that she will not come out much less than a 185-rating, which will mean giving Britannia an allowance of four minutes on a fifty-mile course. Ailsa will be sailed tcmorrow on a light load line, as she was in the Mediterranean, and almost all of the crew which left her at Cowes has been re- shipped. If she resumes her old form, she will be Valkyrie III's most formidable op- ponent. Lord Dunraven is to be commend- ed for having two captains available, es- pecially as it is an open secret that their only object is to bying the cup to England. “In the case of Lord Lonsdale’s new Eucharls and the Yankee yacht Niagara, it will be a case of machine against ma- chine, and there is every reason to expect that Eucharis will prove far and away the superior.” HARVARD'S MANLY STAND. The London “Standard” Commends the Reasons for Declining. LONDON, June 28.—The Standard in an editorial this morning says on the reply of Harvard to the challenge of Oxford-Cam- bridge athletic committee: “The reasons given by the American un- dergraduates for declining the match are creditable to their modesty. Interesting as the proposed meeting would have been, we are not altogether sorry that the scheme has collapsed. It might have been neces- sary to defray the expenses of some of our champions, and thus convert into a busi- ness matter what ought to be merely a recreation. For those possessing means, ample opportunity is provided by the ar- rangements made between the athletic clubs of London and New York.” ON ‘ONE F E PLA TFORM. Champion Corbett and Ex-Champlon Sullivan Spar. At 11:10 o’clock last night the last and biggest event on the program of the benefit for John L. Sullivan, in the Madison Square Garden in New York, was in order. It was between Champion Jim Corbett and the beneficiary. When the men climbed through the ropes pandemonium broke loose, and there were loud yells for a speech from the Boston man. He stood up and addressed the audience on one side of the ring, and then had to re- peat his little speech to the other side of the house. He sai uadies and gentlemen: I thank you very sincerely for your pres- eice here tonight, and also I must thank the many friends who have come here to take part in my bénefit. I hope I shall al- ways deserve your kind appreciation.” Speech, speech, Corbett!” was then the cry, and the champion stepped to the cen- ter of the ring. He grasped Sullivan's hand and said: “It will always be a pleas- uré to me to assist my friend, John L, Sul- livan, and he has oniy to command me at any time.” The men then boxed three short rounds, and the big benefit was ended by the crowd carrying Sullivan and Corbett into their dressing rooms.

Well, well,well! and the fielder Washington has been after, and about whom so much has been sald, turns out to be Ray Thomas, an ex-college player! The local fans were positive it was Hamilton or Turner. Von der Ahe is said to be anxious to try Schmelz’s scheme—make up a nine from Southern Leaguers. He is willing to let Breitenstein and Peitz go, as well as his other good ones. This was the original cause of the trouble between Buckenberger and Von der Ahe. Von der Ahe denied the rumors about these prospective changes until he saw a letter written by Bucken- berger, when he-admitted all. He said he would ‘do as he pleased, and it was none of anybody’s business. Manager Arthur Irwin of Philadelphia has secured, as the result of a short visit to the New England clubs, Henry J. Lampe, the crack pitcher of the New England As- scclation. Lampe is a big fellow, five feet eleven and a half inches in height, and We'ghs 175 pounds. He Is about twenty-one years of age. Lampe has been the standby of his club, and won twenty-five out of twenty-seven games in which he has pitched. Pitcher McMahon's physician has been working on the pitcher's arm. It has been fired several times, and yesterday MvMahon | was told that within ten days he could go into the box and pitch as well as ever. Anson has at least $3,000 wagered on his club in the league race. Most of his bets are that he will beat New York, Cleveland and Cincinnati out. ‘The Cincinnati bet looks pretty good for Anson. Baltimore will have to rely on Hoffer, Clarkson and Esper for at least a week: Manager Irwin of the Philadelphia thinks seriously of making a base bail trip to Ergland at the close of the present season. Base ball {s on a splendid footing there, and the men are delighted with the idea. He would take only ten men with him, and thcse who desired to take thelr wives along would be at liberty to do so. He thinks the trip would be successful. Cleveland 1s after Pitcher Wilson, who was lent by the Bostons to New Bedford. To Fight for First Place. The two leaders of the Departmental Base Ball League will meet this afternoon at Na- tional Base Ball Park, to decide which shall lead the league for a brief spell. The game is the postponed contest from May 2, and a great deal of interest !s being manifested in the result. The two teams are tied for first place, and, although there {s plenty of time foe elther one to get caught on the toboggan, today’s game will place the leaders for some little time. Both teams will have their strongest nine out, with Orspada and Beach in the points for the bureau, and Fuller and Dickinson officiating for the District Commissioners. Neither team has lost a game yet, and both have won four, and a stubborn contest is looked for by the patrons of these games. The attendance is expected to be large, as both teams have many friends and adherents. Game will be called at 4:45.

The half-mile track was in fine condition, but a steady east wind blew all the afternoon. Bartholomew and Starbuck paced the champion on a tandem. Johnson did the first half in 1.01, crossing the finish line in 2.06 1-5. Prior to this event, Johnson made the fastest time on record in a competitive professional race. It was a half-mile handicap, and Johnson rede around the six racers from the scratch and finished ten feet in the lead in 103 1-2, DRAWING NEAR HOME Troop A Putting Finishing Touches to the Long March. Lieut. Pillsbury and His Spurs—Sol- diers Handsomely Entertained at Leesburg—Spoiled by Rain. Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAMP H. S. BARBOUR, LEESBURG, Va., June 27, 1895. If it were left to a vote of the troopers as to which place they enjoyed ‘themselves best on this march It would prove to be a tle vote between Front Royal, Winchester and Lessburg. And if the deciding vote were to be cast by the officers of the com- mand these gentlemen would say: “We have been so splendidly entertained every- where throughout our trip that we could not begin to decide such a question.” The fact is the hospitality extended the cavalry- men from Washington have been unparal- leled. Capt. Garrett's speech of welcome to the troop echoed the feelings and senti- ments of every citizen of Leesburg. It was a sensible, patriotic and warm-hearted spesch, and reached the right spot with every trooper present. There was but the slightest allusion to the “late unpleasant- ness,” and the greater part of the address was worded so as to make every trooper feel at home. The remarks of Capt. Gar- rett were full of bright and clever points and notwithstanding the intense heat were listened to with interest by soldiers and citizens alike. In conclusion Capt. Garrett stated that although the notice of the ar- rival of the troop was a short one a lunch, which would do the hungry trooper good, was being propared, and requested Capt. Barbour to rest his command for about twenty minutes, when everything would be in readiness. During this short interval Mr. Hempstone, realizing that a march of eighteen miles nad created a considerable thirst, escorted the officers to his residence, wher they refreshed themselves wity, ice- cold and so-called well water, which did much to sharpen the appetites of those who partook. A sumptuous lunch in the large dining room of the Leesburg Inn was then par- taken of by the cavalrymen, and three cheers given for the good people who had so thoughtfully provided the same. The troop then proceeded to the spot selected by Lieut. Rennie for a camp, immediately opposite the fair grounds. The rocky na- ture of the ground caused some of the troopers to make some unpleasant remarks regarding the selection, but after a night's rest on the ground amid a terrible down- pour of rain all decided that it was just the proper, place. The tents being ditched ‘the natural incline of the ground enabled the men to sleep comfortably without get- ting wet. A distinguished arrival at the camp during the afternoon was Maj. Win- throp Alexander, the Inspector general of the D. C. N. G. The major claims to be paying only a social visit, but the close scrutiny which he gave to men and horses and the other details of camp life indicated that Gen. Ordway would be informed of the manner in which Troop A was conduct- ing itself. It 1s safe to say that the report will be a creditable one. During the forenoon Capt. Barbour put the troop through a Irill lasting about an hour and a half, and con- siderable improvement was noticed in the execution of the various movements. The Instruction gained by the men and the knowledge imparted to them of real, sure enough soldiering on this trip are marked. Capt. Barbour never did have such a lot of willing, hard-working troopers under his command as he has on this march. It had been the intention of the captain to have a skirmish drill and charge tonight for the benefit of the citizen8 of Leesburg, but rain t in about 2 o'clock and spoiled the pro- gram. The men were really not sorry, for they have had lots to do, but their friends in Leesburg are much disappointed. Lieut. Pillsbury has been the envy of the whole command since the troop left Washington. Like the other officers of the troop, he is a very fine-looking man, and knows how to ride a horse. His spurs, however, are what Set away with everybody, and your cor- respondent has tried to give you an idea of this well-known and universally liked cavalryman on his steed. ‘The officers are entertaining and being entertained tonight, and it is not likely that a start will be made before 9 o'clock to- morrow morning. Dranesville. will be the next camp, and 2 o'clock on Saturday will see the sunburned veteran troopers on Pennsylvania avenue, on their way to the armory, after the most successful trip which has ever been made. Not a hitch has occurred, everything has worked like clockwork, and the men return better in health, better in spirits and much better soldiers. —_.__. Death of Chief Engineer Hine.

However, their knavery touches nothing but our pocket book. ‘There 4s another widespread form of inisrepresentation of a far more dangerous and villainous character.
