The old-time printers and pressmen of this city will regret to learn of the death of Co- lumbus Hall, last employed in the press room of the government printing office. Mr. Hall died yesterday afterncon at his resi- dence, No. 1121 G street northeast, of lung trouble. He had been ill for a number of months. Few men in his calling enjoyed so wide and universal an acquaintance among the craft. Though extremely modest and unasstming, his interest in the affairs of the trade organization with which he was connected inevitably brought Mr. Hall into prominence, and for a number of years he held high office in the International Typo- graphical Union. At the eonvention held in Kansas City, Mo., he was elected second vice president, and at the convention of 1890, which assembled at Atlanta, Ga., he became one of the trustees of the Childs-Drexel Home for Union Printers, a position which he filled for five years with credit to himself and with advantage to the organization. Mr. Hall represented the very best type of the American workingman. He was a mas- ter of his trade. He was a credit to himself and to the community in his habits and in- tercourse, and when left a widower, some five years ago, he extended to his motherless children a devotion which best portrayed the sterling qualities of the man.. The body will be interred at Glenwood cemetery Sun- day afternoon, and his friends will assemble at his late residence at 3 o’clock on that day. ———— Small Fire. Damage to the amount of about $200 was occasioned early last evening by fire in the second story of building 641 D street, occu- pied by Mayer and Pettitt as a storage room. An overheated stove started the flames, which were easily extinguished by the fire department. SPORTS OF THE DAY Leaders in the Big Chess Tourna- ment Beaten. SCIENTIFIC: EXPOSITION OF HOCKEY Annual Meeting of the Steeple- chasers. ———— LATE BASE BALL GOSSIP —— The games in the international chess tcurnament which were played yesterday at St. Petersburg resulted as follows: Tschigorin (black) won agairst Pillsbury after forty moves in a queen’s gambit de- clined. Steinitz (white) beat Lesker in a queen’s gambit declined efter thirty moves. The score to date follows: Won. Lost. Won. Lost. Lasker 6% 4% [Steinitz ....5% 5% Pillsbury ..6% 4 Tschigorin .3% Tie - CANADIANS WON EASILY. Baltimore Hockey Players Beaten at the Skating Rink. The skating ring at Convention Hall was crowded last evening, the special attraction being a game of hockey between the cham- pion intercollegiate hockey team of Canada from the Queen's University and an All-Bal- timore team, comprising some of the best skaters and hockey players in this part of the country, the game being won by the former team by a score of 7 to 0. Thc Canadian team is on a trip through the United States, and the team which Balti- more has put out to stop their victorious round is prcbably the strongest American team. The game was one of a series which has been arranged between the two teams, and will kelp to settle the question of where the champicnskip of the continent shall lie. The cortest was in two halves of fifteen minvtes, ard was started about 8 o'clock. While the Baltimore ‘team is a strong ag- gregation, the Canadian cluk simply play- ed all arourd them. The work of the boys from the Queen's University was scientific ang extremely pretty from a spectator’s point of view. Their team work was also fine, and this accounts in some measure fer the defeat which they administered to the Baltimore contingent. McLennan is probably the best hockey player in the western hemisphere, and his brilliant work told time and time again In the rushes which the Canadiars made into American territory. Harty, McKay, Rey- side and Brock also played an exceilent game. Th> Canadians excelled the Balti- More boys at nearly every point, being the swifter skaters and, knowing more about handling their sticks. For the Baltimore team Bagg, Albert, Corning and Parmly played a strong game, but their efforts were un- availing against the superior strength and skill of the opposing team. When a colli. sion occurred, and such was often -the case, it was the Baltimore man that went down every time. The game was an exceedingly pretty one, but it looked to the American spectators to be nothing more than the game of “shin ny” modified and improved. The Balti more hoys wore red, blue and yellow stripe sweaters, and the representatives of the dominion wore red and blue. The game is played with sticks about four feet long with a crook about four inches, and a puck consisting of a small piece of rubber. The goal posts were at each end of the hall. and the immense stretch of ice gave ample opportunity for the good points to be dem- onstrated. The line-up of the teams was as follows Baltimore Bisan, Hiseeck . Jenkins Curtis .. Bagg McLennan aughtor Harty . Parmly McKay Corning Rayside. -Left Wing.......A. Corning Brock. Right Wirg. -Bisnan. Refereo—H. S. Zane. After the game the ice was thrown open to the spectators, and skating to the music of the orchestra was enjoyed by the ful number allowed on the ice at one time until the closing hour. LOOKING FOR A GROUND. ‘The Brooklyn Club Will Vacate East- ern Park. The Brooklyn bsse ball club's lease of Eastern Park Is on the eve of expiration, and it can be definitely stated that there will be no renewal. It has been known for .| Some time that the Brooklyn club has been searching for a more desirable lucality, and those who deal in futures have at one time and another placed the new stamping ground of the Brocklyns upon every avail- able site within the city limits. Washington Park and Ambrose Park have been foremost in the guessing contest, de- spite the fact that the former location was an impossibility. F. A. Abell, who controls something like W of the 2,500 shares of the club, says that four or five sites are now being considered. Mr. Abell was asked about Dave Foutz, and after expressing his synipathy with the player in his illness, he said: “Well, I really don’t know anything about the mat- ter. I have not discussed Foutz with Mr. Byrne. But La Chance is playing first base so well that I don’t see any chance for Dave upon the team.” Against Farming Out Players. The New England Base Ball League has adopted an amendment to its const:tution forbidding any of its members to sign Na- tional League men who are to play vntil wanted by league clubs. This will put a stop to the farming out practice in New England. NATI STEEPLECHASERS. AL Hurdle and Stick Races Each Week at the Coney Island Track.

So Mr. Pugh Declared He Would Nolle Prox a Water Wasting Case. Mrs, Catharine Arlow was in the Police Court yesterday, charged with wasting Po- tomac water, in Georgetown. A plea of guilty was entered, and Mr. Pugh for the District recommended that her personal bonds be taken. Mrs. Arlow said that while she was in Church Sunday the water was left running. Policeman Seymour, who had made the complaint volunteered some information about the case, and when the judge hesi- tated about adopting Mr. Pugh’s sugges- | tion, the prosecutor informed the court | that he would nolle, pros. the case if her personal bonds were not taken, and said he | cbjected to the officer interfering in the case. The judge took Mrs. Arlow’s person- al bonds. ee “A Sugwestion to Skaters. ‘To tne Editor of The Evening Star: Pitying every foot I see squeezed by the merciless skate strap, I wish to give the skating public, through your widespread columns, the benefit of my experience. I advise all skaters to wear one or more extra pairs cf stockings or socks. By selecting these of the proper thickness, the loosest shoe may be made to fit with any desired degree of tightness, insuring an elastic pres- sure evenly distributed over the whole foot. Users of club skates, discarding all stiffener straps, will find the plain shoe padded with extra socks more comfortable, neater and certainly more effective. If a strap is need- ed, as an excuse for falls, there is no objec- tion to a loose one, which will, indeed, be better for the purpose. J.B mS Had Visitors, William Ellis, a colored resident of Tem- perance avenue, and thirteen visitors who were found at his house appeared in the Police Court for trial today.” Ellis was and his guests were charged with being \egrants. Policeman J. R, Harrover had raided the house last night, with the as- sistance of other officers. Witnesses were examined by Judge Miller, who commented on the way these people assemble and live in small rooms, and discharged the whole crowd. —— Was Not Disorderly. Charles Edmonston, a colored coachman, who says he drives er Secretary Carlisle, was in Judge Kimball's court today on complaint of Policeman Vermillion, charg- ed with disorderly conduct. The officer ar- rested him ncar Istuand F streets about 1 o’clock this morning’ in front of his own house. A womant*had made complaint against him, but her statement to the court did not show,that he had used any profanity: ‘The policeman claimed that Edmcnston said something out of the way, but the defendant denied the charge. He was acquitted. —+- Fine Net Paid. ‘A small colored poy, whose name was given as Fred. Robinson, was a prisoner in the Police Court today on a charge of larceny. It was charged that he had stolen a small quantity of coal from a dealer in fuel. He denied the charge, but admitted that he had once been arrested on a charge of stealing some bread. Judge Kimball questioned the boy’s father, who said that his son had no occasion to steal. He has a good home and wants for nothing. The father says he is a church sexton, and the boy has assisted him in making the fires. “TI can’t let him go free this time,” said the judge, “but will make the fine small. He is fined $3.” “Are you going to pay the fine?” he was asked. “No, sir,” the father answered. “I haven't got the money this morning, and festectetectetete ; a a ea ee oe BARBER & ROSS, . Cor.

A wreck on the Baltimore and Ohio South- western was avoided Wednesday night by Uttle Mary Och, a nine-year-old girl, near Portsmouth, Ohio. The little girl was out with a lantern hunting a stray horse, which she discovered was caught fast in a bridge, near a sharp curve of the railroad. Know- ing that the evening accommodation train, which is generally crowded with passengers, was nearly due, the child crawled across the lofty trestle, past the frightened and plung- ing horse, and then around the curve, where she built a large fire in the center of the —- track, to attract the attention of the train- men. Her efforts were successful, the train being stopped within a few feet of the beg- con.
