Bhe California Lad Sho Between two and three hundred “sports” made their way last evening to the arena of the Eureka Athletic Club for the purpose of witnessing four or five spurring matches. But three were pulled off, “Sailer” Brown failing to put in an appearance for his “go” with Pat Raedy, although Raedy was tere fit and anxious. Billy Warner also failed to respond for a “go” with Albert Johnson. The management offered to re- fund their expenses to those who were dis- Satisfied because of the non-appearance of the men, but no one applied, and the rest of the prograin was gone through with. This included a ten-round bout between Toady Banks and Aleck Brown, two well- krowr colored boys, a four-round offair between Howard Wilson and Will Werner, aiso colored, and a twenty-round fight be- tween Jack Daly of Wilmington, Del. and Billy Dooley of San Francisco. In only the first event was the arranged number of rounds fought, and that bout was declared a draw, although Banks did much inore of the leading and landing, and should have had the decision. Wernef was evidently a nevice in the game, and Wilson put him out in the second round without half trying. The event of the evening, that between Daly and Dcoley, was concluded in the fifth reund, when Daly put the Californian out with a good stiff right on the jaw. Dooley we'ghed 132 pounds, and Daly 130 1-2, but good judges, despite the fact that he was far from well, picked out the latter as the winner even Lefore the men tod the mark. The San Francisco man had the ativantage of height and reach, but he was woefully Geficient im ring tactics and hittin:: abili- ties, ard most of his tirse was occupied in hugzing his adversary. Daly's sickness greatly toll on him, and in the fourth round he was very weak, and had Dooley known a little bit and could have hit the least bit hard, the Wilmington man would hw gone to i But Daly stuck to his business in 9 very game man- ner, and daziny Looley witn a good left in the face, he finished him with a heavy swing of his right on the jaw. Made a Poor DICK O'BRIEN ARRESTED. Charged With Engaging in a Prize Fight in Boston. BOSTON, Mass., August 30.—Dick O'Brien of Lewiston, Me., has been arrested by po- Nee of divtsion 3 on a warrant charging him with engaging in a prize fight at the old armory on West Newton street on Wednesday evening. He was arrested just before Capt. Bill Daly declared the God- frey-Choynskl fight off. He was taken to East Deadham street station, and released later on $1,000 bail, furnished by his friends. A warrant charging Joe Walcott with an oifense similar to O'Brien's has een sworn out, but Walcott cannot be ound. JAKE KILRAIN SKEPTICAL. Doesn't Believe the Fight Will Come Of in Texns. Jake Kilrain, who was seconding Duke in the Duke-Wongo fight at Norfolk last night, said in an interview as to the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight: “The fight won't come off in Texas. That is out of the question, and I believe it will be pulled of in New Orleans. I know of no better place to have it. As to the chances of the fight I am not betting. I would not dare to. Fitz is deucedly lucky, and although Corbett has the reach, height and the quickness, yet he has been living wildly, and Fitz hes not. This will tell in Fit: simmons’ favor. Then Corbett has a nasty temper, and his hotel squabble with Fitz has hurt his betting value greatly. His temper may run away with him in the ring and give Fitz a chance, as Corbett hates him and may try to take it out of him. I would not dare bet on either of them now, and lots others feel as 1 do.” Kilrain was looking finely. He tps the scale at 205 pounds. Wilson to Meet Leonard. Howard Wilson, the colored boy who stood up so pluckily against Mike Leonard the other night, will meet him again to- night at Kernan's. Tomorrow night Hite Peckham and Billy McMillan willg box four rounds, and Jack Daly will go up against Mike Leonard. — The Clothing Identificd, ‘The clothing sent here from Glasgow for the prrpose of identifieation reached here yesterday, after the Rev.

ALL TRUE AMATEURS Professionals Not Engaged by the N.Y. A. 0. STATEMENT OF SECRETARY GULICK of Pall Doubts the Assertions Mall Gazette. NO INQUIRIES PENDING NEW YORK, August 30.—Referring to the statement published in the Pall Mall Gazette and cabled to the Associated Press, to the effect that most of the members of the London Athletic Club team, which is soon to meet the New York Athletic Club team in this city, are professional athletes, hired for the occasion, and that the same is true of many of the members of the New York Athletic Club’s team, John C. Gulick, secretary of the latter organiza- tion, says: “We have every reason to believe that the team of the London Athletic Club is fully up to the standard of that organiza- tion, which has endeavored to select the best competitors at its command to repre- sent the club in the various events that are to occur here. “As to the New York Athletic Club, the statement that we have been compelled to hire professionals to compete is equally absurd and untrue. This club has taken pains to secure from among its members equally good men to meet our English competitors. We have never, in any sense, bought up men to compete in its behalf, and every one of its team is a duly elected member of the club. There are no in- qu.ties pending as to the antecedents of any of its team, and the statement in the Pall Mall Gazette to the contrary is abso- lutely false.” WON BY EIGHTEEN MINUTES. Defender Demonstrates Again Her Su- periority to Vigilant. The Star’s dispatches yesterday de- scribed the Vigilant-Defender yacht race up to the time the boats were approaching the second mark of the triangular course. After rounding the second mark, a big, black squall came out from the south southwest, and went for the sails of the racers. The Defender stood it bravely, and there was no inclination to take in her big club topsail. Mr. Iselin, Capt. Haff and Nat Herreshoff, all of whom were aboard, were content to let the‘people see that they had a boat which could stand up in a heavy wind. The sheet of her jib parted under the strength of the forty-mile wind, and. bons. Within three minutes a new sail was set In its place. The last leg was a close reach for home. The Vigilant had not been able to with- stand the blow and took down her club- topsail soon after rounding the second mark, and shortly after withdrew her baby jib-topsail. The Defender won by 18m. .03s., not counting time allowance, which has been estimated at Im. 30s. The short tack which she made before rounding the mark was entirely unnecessary. It was one of the many instances of playing which De- fender has done while racing to prevent guiee toe much information to the oppo- sition. The Valkyrie got a little plece of the squall. With only her massive mainsail set, she heeled over enough to show that she is very tender. The Defender fairly boiled through the water, and her performance was marvel- ous. The America’s cup committee ordered an- other trial race for today. The following ae will show how Defender beat Vigi- nt: Defender. 11:20 Vigilant... 11 International Race for Small Yachts. American yachtsmen will have the inter- ests of the speedy half-rater Ethelwynn at heart next week, for she has been selected by the Sewanhaka race committee to com- pete against Arthur Brand’s English boat Spruce for the internatioial cup for small yachts. COMPLETED UNFINISHED GAMES. Progress of the Big Chess Tourna- ment, All the games but one left unfinished in previous rounds of the international chess masters’ tournament at Hastings were fin- ished yesterday, the games resulting as follows: Blackburne beat Albin in an irregular opening after 120 moves. Schiffers beat Janowsky in a Ruy Lopez after seventy-three moves. Marco beat Mason in a Scotch game af- ter sixty-five moves. Gunsberg beat Telchmann in a Vienna game after eighty-two moves. Mason and Lasker drew a Guioco Piano after sixty-six moves. Marco and Walbrodt drew a Scotch game after eighty-five moves. Foot Ball Players Off to Grimsby. A second delegation of University of Pennsylvaria fcot ball players left Phila- delphia for Grimsby, Ontario, last night. They were Farrar, Ambruster, Wharton, Worth, Hancock, Stauffer, Brooke and Manager Leaman. Others will follow sin- gly from time to time. A Cripple Wheeling Around the Globe Mr. John Thomas, editor of the Evans- ville West End Advocate, is making the circuit of the globe on a tricycle. The trip is the result of a wager of $2,000, and Mr. Thomas expects to complete the journey in about two years. He has already trav- eled over 2,000 miles, and is now on his way to New York to take a steamship for Evrope. From England he goes to Africa, and to Australia, and then by way of Hawaiian Islands he will make his way back to this country. Mr. Thomas is a cripple and walks with difficulty, but gets along all right on his machine. He arrived in Washington Wednesday and continued on his way to New York. Running Meeting in Texas. There was no racing yesterday at Gales- burg, Ill, on account of rain, which will cause a double program for today and for two days yet. “Bob” and John Stewart, the well-known Kansas City horsemen, are proposing to desert the trotters for the bang tails, and have leased the track at Galveston, Tex., and will give a sixty days’ running meeting there this winter, to begin about December 15. Sporting Notes. At Boston last night the Choynski-God- frey fight was declared off, owing to the fact that the boxers in the contest of last night, Wolcott and O'Brien, were sum- mtoned to appear before the authorities. The attendance was very small, not large enough to pay the boxers’ guarantee. Johnny Van Heest has made numerous efforts to get on a fizat with George Dixon. If victorious in his fight with George Smith before the Eureka Club Monday, he will make Dixon fight or will claim the feather- weight championship of the world. The Alexander Island officials have fin- ished their Investigation into the riding of Jockey Washburn on Irish Pat last Satur- day and Washburn will remain on the ground for the next thirty days. P. J. Dwyer's friends will regret to learn that his colt Handspring, which was kick- ed by Axiom in the race for the Futurity, is quite lame. The injury seems to affect the colt more and more daily, and it is probable that he will not be able to race again this year. John Huggins, who trains Pierre Loril- lard’s horses, yesterday notified Mr. Loril- lard that he would go to England for a campaign there next season if Mr. Loril- lard so desired. —— “Papa, buy me a European prince,” said the daughter of one of America’s trust kings to her father. n't do it now, my daughter,” was the rep) “I have to buy two or three legisla- tures for my own use.”—Harper’s Bazaar. within a minute the headsail was in rib-? MAY STOP THE RACING Effect of Judge Bischoff’s Decision on the Gray Law. Acting Chief Conlin Awaiting It— Sport at Fleetwood Park May Be Brought to a Close. NEW YORK, August 30.—It is altogether Probable that the trotting meeting in prog- ress at Fleetwood Park will be brought to a close by the police. Acting Chief Conlin said today that if the decision that the Percy-Gray racing bill is unconstitutional reaches him he will have Inspector McCullagh proceed imme+ diately to Fleetwood Park and close the meeting. He said that he had not yet recived any official notification that racing for sweepstakes was unconstitutional, and until he is in receipt of an official notice that such is the case he will take no ac- tion in the matter. Lawyer Van Duzen, representing the rac- ing association, when he heard the opinion of Acting District Attorney Mcintyre frankly declared it his intention to pro- cure an injunction in behalf of the racing association against the police commis- stoners to restrain them from interfer- ing with the coming races at Morris Park. Acting Police Inspector McCullagh visited the district attorney’s office for the pur- Pose of obtaining instructions, but from Mr. McIntyre’s vague opinion was unable to determine what action to take at the race tracks in his jurisdiction. There was no interference with the rac- ing at Sheepshead Bay yesterday on ac- count of Judge Bischoff's decision. In fact none was expected before Saturday, if at all. ROBERT J. WON THE RACE. From 12,000 to 15,000 Saw the Pacing Contest. The number present at Fleetwood Park, N. Y., yesterday was conservatively esti- mated at 12,000, and some enthusiasts place it as high as 18,000. The capacity of the club house and amphitheater was fully taxed, and hundreds crowded the quarter-stretch and infield. The attraction was, of course, the con- test between the champions of the pacing brigade, the second race on the program. There was quite a lively speculation, the prevailing odds being Joe Patchen, 4 to 5; Robert J., 7 to 5, and Gentry, 3 to 1. Robert J. won in three straight heats. The following is the summary: Free-for-all class—Pacing; purse, $5,000. Robert J., b. g., by Hartford, dam Geraldine, by Jay Gould (Geers).. 1 1 John R.

The California Jockey Club has secured an extension of six months on its option to purchase the Bay District track for $650,000. The result will be a race track war between the California Jockey Club and the Pacific Coast Jockey Club. While the new track will be more spacious and commodious than the Bay District, the latter track is more accessible from the city. Each association has issued a pro- gram of events with fixed dates. : Starter Caldwell Indignant. James F. Caldwell, the former official starter at the Windsor meeting, is indig- nent over the various stories sent out re- garding hs trouble with Frank Ireland and the officers of the association Tuesday af- ternoon, which resulted in the termination of his contract with the association. Mr. Caldwell is in receipt 5f a letter from Pre- siding Judge Carter stating that after the trouble with Mr. Ireland he (Caldwell) came in front of the judges’ stand and stated publicly that it was the last day he would start at the meeting. This was said in the presence of the president and one of the directcrs. Mr. Caldwell claims that af- ter he hal resigned the Windsor officials took advantage of him in representing to the press that he was dismissed from their services. Bennett Bought Beuzetta. It has leaked out through a broker whe was assisting Ed. Decernea to make the deal that Beuzetta, 2.06 3-4, was bought for James Gorgon Bennett, who will race her in Europe. THE NIAGARA TOURNAMENT, Americnn Cracks Who Are Taking Part in the Games. The second day’s playing in the Canadian international tennis tournament at Niagara, Ontario. yesterday, was witnessed by a large and fashicnable gathering. The American cracks are showing up unusually strong. R. W. P. Matthews, ex-Canadian champion, and F. W. Anderson of Toronto, are the only Canadians still ir the race. The Americans undefeated are Carr B. Neel of Chicago, who is the western champion; J. E. Talmage of Yale, and EK. P. Fischer of New York. The day's score follows: Men’s singles, preliminary round—E.

Shcoting Begins Monday. Bright and early Monday morning the seascn for reed bird and ortolan shooting will begin and there will be scores of gun- ners in the marshes about the city. The wild oats, although not as dry as it was this time last season, Is in good condition. Although the season for shooting the birds does not open until Monday a number of gunners have already killed them in the marshes, and they say that the dirds are rot in the best condition. The birds are plentiful, however, and blackbirds are also there in abundance. All this week the birds haye been slaughtered in violation of law, but no arrests haye been made. ANOTHER ,.TIE GAME Senators and Browns Fail to Reach a Result. HOME TEAM GO? IN MANY HITS The Corbetts Beaten at Hand Ball. hs GENERAL SPORTING NOTES Less than a thousand persons saw anoth- er tie game played by the Washington and St. Louis clubs yesterday, the game being called at the close of the sixth inning with the score 9 to 9 because of darkness. The Iccal men were the first to bat, and the first four men safely hit Ehret, Tom Brown leading off with a two-bagger, which he stretched into a three-bagger because of Dowd’s bad throw. Rain interrupted the inning when two runs had been scored, and when the game was resumed, with Joyce and McGuire on second and first, re- spectively, the next batters could not send them in. Malarkey, weak and sick, was put in to pitch for the home team, and, after chances had been given Joyce and Mercer to retire the visitors, six runs, not cne of them earned, resulted. The next inning Anderson relieved Ma- Jarkey, and the St. Louis people could score but three runs the rest of the game. ‘The game was one of many hits, the home men excel!ing, McGuire securingsfour, one e? 4 time he was at bat. Joyce got three, and Tom Brown’s hits were well placed, For the visitors Connor was at bat three times, and each time he got a hit. Score: ST. LOUIS. -E.

The board of league directors’ has de- cided by a mail vote that the Boston-Wash- ington game of August 12 must be played over again. This was the game of eleven innings which was won by the Bostons by ene vun, the umpire erroneously declaring Hassamer out for batting out of his turn after he had hit a foul ball. The Wash- ington club protested the game on this ac- count, and the protest is sustained. This takes one victory off Boston and one de- feat from Washington. The umpire was Burnham. Bases on balls by Cuppy, ranker errors. by McGarr and Childs, singles by Duffy and Tenney and a home run by Long gave the Bostons seven unearned runs in the sixth inning and the game yesterday. Capt. Tebeau and his men created the most disorderly scenes witnessed in Boston for many years, and delayed the game so long that Umpire McDonald called it at the finish of the Clevelands’ half of the eighth. This is a sample of the idiocy exhibited by some base ball writers this: season in their war of spite on President Nick Young: “George Burnham is continued on the umpire staff against the protest of every team in the league except Baltimore. One stubborn league magnate kept Tim Hurst off the staff all season.” According to this writer, one club can keep an umpire on the stai: when the other eleven clubs oppose him, and one club can keep an um- pire off when the other clubs want him, The Brooklyns made it twelve straight yesterday. Their victims on this occasion were the Cincinnati Reds. O, P. Caylor, the base ball writer who has undertaken the job of apologizing for the mismanagement of the Giants, recently abused Umpire Jevne because the New Yorks played so badly that the Colonels defeated them. The Recorder gets back at Caylor as follows: “There was rumor about town last night that the Giants would have won the game had Umpire Jevne acted fairly. Jevne was all right. ‘Our Boys’ ought to beat nine ‘Kurnels’ and one um- pire with one hand. The umpire story has already been worked to death. It was ‘bum’ pitching that lost the game, and nothing else.” The donor of the Temple cup has been interviewed by the Boston Globe. Con- cerning the battles for the trophy he said that they must be played by the clubs fin- ishing first and second in the race. That evidently lets out New York. 4 Fred. Pfeffer says he has signed a New York contract for 1896 and will cover sec- ond for the Giants next\ year. THE CORBETTS BEATEN. aii e Jim and His Brother “Joc” More Than Meet Their Match at Scranton. Champion James J. Corbett and his brother Joserh played a match game of hand ball at Scrantdn, Pa., yesterday and lost it, Their opponénts were John Ricka- by and Thomas Dove, logal players of con- siderable repute. The game was played at the Driving Park in! thé! presence of three thousand people, the’ stdkes being $500 and 75 per cent of the gate jnoney to the win- ners. Rain fell during the entire game, mak- ing anything like an,exbibition of skill im- possible. i The chempion played Ustlessly, but “Jo: did his best The gcora was 21-12, 21-16, 21-19, all in favor of the local players, Cor- bett attributes his defeat to the bad grounds, the kind of ball used and the lack of side walls to tM alley. He has chal- lenged Rickaby to play on Corbett’s own alley at Asbury Park, and the challenge has been accepted. Walking Around the World. Five long-distance pedestrians ‘reached this city yesterday on their way around the werld. They claim that if they make the circuit within two years they will each get $2,000. They left New York ten days ago and expect to reach Atlanta within two weeks. Their clothes bear the evidence of much rough usage, and they expect to make their expenses along the way by giv- ing concerts: Two @f them are singers and one is-a pianist. Their names are A. Netwreth, N. Neuwreth, B, Feldman, M. Wiessner and F. Meyer. OUR EN United States Products in the Markets of - Great Britain, Recent Consular Reports Contain Many Valuable Suggestions to American Merchants, The markets for United States products in Great Britain are reviewed in detail in recent consular reports. Cattle from this country are reported from Liverpool as superior to the native cattle, the latter in- cluding many immature and young animals slaughtered for food and also a greater proportion of old animals. Consul Neal at Liverpool reports, however, that sheep from the United States and other countries do not compare favorably with the Brit- ish, lacking taste and tenderness, and it is suggested by experienced men that this might be greatly improved by shipping the sheep younger, say one to two years old. It is suggested by the trade in the Liver- pool district that Américan tobacco be packed thoroughly dry when intended for consumption there and altogether free from either heated or bulk-heated leaves. Large quantities of apples are received from various countries on the continent of Europe, but the importations appear to be regulated by the size of the apple crop in the United States. American apples com- mard the highest prices. Forty-five per cent of the wheat and 90 per cent of the flour in the Liverpool consular district come from the United States. American glucose and starch are not as valuable In the Liverpool district as the product from Germany and Holland, though in good demand through low prices, and in some portions of the district the glucose importation is exclusively from the United States. American Pork Poorly Cured. Consumers depend to a large extent on the importations of bacom and hams prin- cipally frm the United States and Canada. ‘The strongest objection made by the Liver- pool trade to hog meats packed in the United States is that of insufficient cur- ing. The Provision Trade Association suggests absolute prohibition of export of filled cheese from the United States and greater care in the manufacture of the best, so as to equal the Canadian product. The constmption cf American canned meats is falling off and that of Australia increasing, due largely to relatively higher prices of American goods. Consul Neat recommenés that the United States make more of the finest grades for export to compete with other supply sources. In the Hull district the American cigar ettes are regarded as the best in the mar- ket. America furnishes the entire foreign cat- tle supply for the Glasgow district and the condition in which the animals land is re- garded as highly satisfactory,the only com> plaint being that hey are “unduly fat,” necessitating waste in the shops. Ameri- can horses are accused of being more liable to catch fatal colds soon after landing on account of the damp climate, and with be- ing unable to stand the wear and tear sus? tained by Welsh or Irish horses. At Glasgow and Belfast. Consul Moss at Glasgow reports that over 83 per cent of the whole wheat supply there Is imported from this country. The United States also leads in the importa- tion of Indian corn, flour, starch and hams. Glasgow tobacco dealers charge deteriora- tion of the American product on account of producers aiming more at quantity than quality and not giving as careful atten- tion as formerly to packing and ussorting. The demanc for Americaa corn is very light at Belfast, the Black sea product being preferred. "In canned meats for that consular district the United States has no competitor. The charge is made that American ham 1s too heavy and the meat too rich. The reputation of American lard is also at a discount, it being agserted that it is tampered vith’ on both sides of the Atlantic. Merchants at Belfast bit- terly complain of the ulleged deception of American shippers of apples, and the Can- adian apples are accordingly growing in popularity. The flaxseed trade of the United States with Great Britain !s reported as very se- riously affected by irregular weights of packages Imported inte the kingdom. —_—<_<_<__o. “BISMARCK” SENTENCED. Again Condemned to Death by Judge zi Scott. According to Judge Scott’s decision, Mr. Ernest Gertenberg’s big dog, “Bismarck,” must die, but if he does eventually fall dead from the ‘effects of a bullet from a policeman’s pistol it will only be after his owner has availed himself of the privi- leges and rights he has in every court in the land. attorneys Albright and Sillers were on hand today to represent “Bis- marck’s” interests, while Mr. Pugh was in court in the interests of the prosecution, and he insisted that the court should or- der the animal's execution. Mr. Gerstenberg was in court anxiously awaiting the court's action. When the case was reached Judge Scott spcke of the law and the facts, and said that as his sentence ordering the dog's execution was imperfect he could not hold Mr. Gerstenberg for contempt. He held that he had authority to make the sen- tence perfect, and this he did by imposing a fine of $5 in addition to ordering the death of the dog. In so deciding Judge Scott referred to the biting of the boy, and, referring to the law, said that he thought there was no legal reason why both the act of 1878 and the police regulation should not exist at the same time. The act of Congress, he said, could not be questioned, and, so far as he was concerned, he was satisfied that the law was a proper one and ought to be en- forced. The court also spoke of the question of hydrophobia, resulting from a single bite, and said it had always been thought that the death of the arimal had some bearing on the condition of the patient. When the court's decision had been an- nounced counsel asked that the sentence be held up in order that he might take the case to the upper court on a writ of cer- tiorari. This was done, and the matter will be heard in the upper courts. ———_ —_ DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. An Appointment. Andrew Buscher has been appointed a private in the fire department. Building Permits.

Correspondence of The Evening Star, UPPER MARLBORO, Aug. 30, 1895. Mr. Lowndes, the republican candidaie for governor of Maryland, with his assoc!- ates on the ticket, were the attraction at the fair today, and were drawing cards. The crowd today was about the same as the day before. Today is children’s day. Yesterday during the races it rained, which made the track heavy, and a race was de- clared off. A ball was given by the Fair Association last night at the town hall, but owing to the excessive heat the attendance Was much smaller than last year. No ar- rests were reported today and the crowd was orderly. —— Used an Ax. Richard Pearson, a colcred barber, whose shop is near the Police Court, was arrested today by Policeman Flynn because he ran George Washington out of his shop with an ax.

The Controversy Over the Question Finally Settled—Prof. Fanciulli’s Position in the Affair. The result of the controversy over the questicn of where the Marine Band should play on Labor day has been definitely de- cided. The complete band will go to Phila- delphia to play at the head of the parade of the Letter Carriers’ Association. Until today there was a possibility that the band should be divided, one-half to play in the Quaker city and the other half in Washington; but it has been deemed un- wise to divide the band when it makes its appearance outside of Washington. Prof. Fanciulli, the leader of the band, who has been criticised by members of the labor organizations here for failure to keep the contract to have the band in the Labor day parade, called at the Navy Department today to see Secretary McAdoo to get per- mission to make public a statement of the causes that led to the breaking of the engagement for the band to play in Wash- ington, but was not able to get an audi- “Drof Fanctulll claims that great injustice is being done him by criticisms on his con- duct and that he has been guilty of nothing unfair in the failure of the band to play in this city. He is anxious to please the peo- ple aud the labor organizations here and regrets that any erroneous ideas of his course should have become circulated. He believes that he has not been fairly repre- sented by members of the labor organiza- tions whe have claimed that he has de- sired to go to Philadelphia in preference to playing in this city. Funeral of We. W. Kittel Private funeral services over the. remains of William W. Kittell, the War Depart- ment clerk who committed suicide in Pit:s- burg Monday morning last, were held to- day at Spindler’s undertaking establish- ment. Rev. Watson Case, pastor of Grace Methodist Church, conducted the services, and later interment was made in Rock Creek cemetery. Only a few relatives and frierds of the deceased were in attendance. The body was brought to this city from Pittsburg yesterday, in charge of Mr. Chas. Gray, the roommate of Mr. Kittell, and Mr. Arlington Wylie, the brother of the young lady whom the suicide was to marry. ——.—__. Marringe Licenses.

THE MARYLAND CAMPAIGN Mr, Lloyd Lowndes Confident of Republi- can Success. The Brench in the Democratic Ranks —Gala Day at Rockville Next Thursday. Mr. Lloyd Lowndes, the republican can- didate for governor of Maryland, stopped over in Washington this afternoon to at- tend to some private affairs and to secure the necessary divorce from Maryland to fix up his correspondence. Mr. Lowndes ig fresh from his attendance at the Prince George's fair at Upper Marlboro’, where he. Was the star attraction yesterday. To a Star reporter Mr. Lowndes expressed him- Self as feeling very confident over the re- sult in Maryland this year. “The letter,” he said, “from ex-Governor Whyte bolt- ing the democratic ticket, followed as it has been and will be by the open announcements of others high up in the democratic party, is a clear indication of the sentiment among democrats. I believe it to be an impossibility for the democratic party to bridge the division in its ranks, Among men of broad tendencies in that Farty the feeling is too strong that this campaign is a state campaign, a campaign for principles of self-government and bet- ter government, for the overthrow of one- man rule and for a clean, honest and thor- ough renovation of Maryland affairs. Inde- Pendent democrats Lelieve these things, and I am of the opinion they are going to make practical demonstration of their belief by voting the republican ticket this fall. My, trip to Marlboro’ was an exceedingly pleas- antgpne, and I enjoyed very much mecting the citizens of thai county.” The republican campaign in Maryland will probably be formally opened about the middie of September. In the meantime, however, both gubernatorial candidates will move around the state, visiting couaty fairs and shaking the farmer by the hand. Next Thursday will be a gala occasion at the Rockville fair, as both Mr. Lowndes and Mr. Hurst will be present on that day, and there will undoubtedly be an immense crowd of ‘Visitors on hand to cheer for their favorite or to take a celm view and make a compariscn of the two men. Both of the candidates will reach Rockville fortified and strengthened by their experiences at Marlboro’. Mistakes made there will be rectified now. Mr. Hurst will not dilate so much on his corps of drummers, while Mr. Lowndes will probably bring his sons with him, as at Marlboro’ he was heard to de- plore their absence as he gazed pensively at the numberless pretty girls in attend- ance. All of which shows that the cam- paign in Maryland is on. Reminiscent.
