There ts no need of entering with detail into the calamity at the Philadelphia ball park yesterday afternoor, says the In- quirer in describing the Philadelphia-Balti- more game. And yet why should we call it calamity, and care? Are we not used to it by this time? Goodness alive, we ought to be. Baltimore played “up to date” ball in every respect. In oppos:tion to this we put up an inert, headless game, and were badly beaten. BALTIMORE. _{ AE, Cincinnad PHILADELPHIA, R-H.O.A, R. AE.

He easily down- ea old associates yesterday and added another to Baltimore's long string of vic- tories. Rain stopped the Washington-New York base ball game yesterday at the metropolis, One inning had been played and the Giants were in the lead, having scored two runs. “Al” Reach of Philadelphia yesterday secured Gallagher, the great Wilmington shortstop, for Philadelphia. He paid Man- ager Long of the local team $1,500 and threw in Garvin. Reach allows Long the use of Mertes, Geier and Boyle. Gallagher is the star of the Atlantic League. Horace Smith, third baseman of the At- lentic City nine, who has been signed by J. Earl Wagner, as exclusively stated in yes- terday’s Star, departed from the city by the sea last night, his destination being Washington. Further reports say that Smith is a gin- gery, fast player; runs bases excellently, fields with the best of them and fs a hard, accurate thrower. In_ semi-professional ranks he is almost a .400 batter. Whether Lis battirg will be strong enough to keep him in the league 1s a serious question, however. Smith is a graduate of Bucknell Univer- sity at Lewisburg, where he was the star base ball player, occupying second base. He was also the star foot ball player, fig- uring at half beck. For two years Smith kas been a student of the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, but has been ineligible for the nine, and has declined to play on the foot ball team, although given a chance by Mr. Woodruff. He, however, has played on the champion class eleven, "983 medical. Smith's record yesterday in the game with the Pittsburg league club at Atlantic City was one hit, one put out and two as- sists. SIMS’ FOUL RIDING. Bumped Ben Brush Into Two Others and Was Disqualified. In the first race at Sheepshead Bay yes- terday Griffin nearly threw McCafferiy over the fence, but as few saw it, nothing was done. In the third race Sims rode into Peep O’ Day and Hanwell, throwing both out of their strides a furlong from the finish. Going on Sims won the race by a neck from the rank outsider Soufflo. He was called into the stewards’ stand, and, after hearing Jockey Sloane's side of the story, the horse Ben Brush and Sims, his rider, were disqualified, and the others were placed a notch ahead of where they fin- ished. Sims was suspended for the rest of the week. Ben Brush ran a remarkably game race, as he was ten lengths out of it in the be- ginning, and picked {t all up. NEEL BROTHERS Woy. The Tennis Championship in Doubles —Davidson Defeated. The national lawn tennis tournament opened at Newport, R. I., yesterday morn- ing. In anticipation of the match for the double championship between C, B. and A. Neel, the western champions, and Mal- com Chace and R, D. Wrenn, the national champions, a large crowd of spectators was present. The western men were fayorites from the start. They won after a close contest, tak- ing the first, third and fifth sets of the five which were necessary to decide the championship. W. A. Larned acted as ref- eree. Summaries: Neel brothers beat Wrenn and Chace 1-6, 6-1, 3-4, 6-1. The following games were also played in the preliminary rounds: Budlong beat Post 7—5, 6—4, 6-2, Stevens beat Grant 6-2, 6-3, 6-3. Pope beat Cleveland 8—7, 7—5, 6-2. Hawes beat Walton ¢—1, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2. Davis beat Davidson 6-4, 6-3, 6—2. Larned beat Miller 6-4, 6-3, 6-3. Whitman beat Talmage 6—1, 6—4, 6-3, 8. H, Miles beat R.

The New York Stn says of Davidson's game: ‘YounghDavis of St. Louis ‘played quite a good match, against Davidson, and beat the southern expert three straight sets. Davidson's listless play and the fact that Bob Wrerth will be the wintier’s next adversary, sugyested a desire on David- son's part to play for the consolation prize. NATIONAL’ CRQQUET TOURNEY. Wabley of Washington Joined First Division.and Won. - - Rain somewhat interfered yesterday with the opening games of the fifteenth annual tournament of, the National Croquet As- sociation at, Norwich, Conn. Nevertheless, many games were played and the tourney auspiciously ccmmenced. The interest in the game is best evidenced by the arrival of J. C. Wood, who came from Ontario, Cal, to play in the third division, Wahley of Washington, Fay and Apgar Piayed off their ‘tie for first and second Places in the second division of last year, and Wahley winning first place was pro- moted to the first division. Apgar won second place. . Champion Strong took Dickey of Nor- wich in camp very easily on his first game by not giving. the Norwich. man any. chanee whatever. Wahley and Butler next were Pitted together, and the young man from Washington gave Butler. but one -chance, ‘and wound up the game in forty minutes. In.the second division Alexander of Phil- adelphia captured three straight games and is evidently strong enough to contest the first division. men. The scores: First Diviston. Condemns Maryland Roads. Cc. M. Hai, a Chicago wheelman, who re- cently wheeled from Chicago to New York in ten days, reacked the clty by wheel yes- terday from Baltimore. ..H@ thinks the roads between here and Baltimore are about the worst he found in his entire trip. He goes home by rail. Cricket. A match was played yesterday between the Homestead, Pa., cricket team and the Garrison team, on the Garrison commons, at Torqnto, Canada, which resulted Ina victory for ‘the home feam by one inning and forty-three runs. dm their second ‘in- ning. the visitors had three men absent. For the winners, W: H. Cooper made forty Walkins, both in batting and: bowl- ing, made the strongest showing for the Homestead team. He and Fleet scored twelve each. —_e—_—_— McKINLEY TO THE COLORED MAN. He Points Out Why He Should Stick to the Republiean Party. Major McKinley addressed a delegation. of two hundred Afro-Americans from. Cleveland, at Canton, Ohio, yesterday ‘af- ternoon. He said: “Jt gives me extreme pleasure to meet and greet my colored fel- low citizens of thé city of Cleveland of northern Ohio;’and I rejoice to learn from your eloquent ‘spokesman that your race this year, as 1p all the years of the past, stands faithfully to the republican cause, which I believe’ is tHe cause of our coun- try. (Applause). I to not forget—no man can forget—that whether fn’ war’ off Peace, the race whieh you represent never turred its back on-the glorious stars and stripes. (Great ‘applause and cries of ‘Hu- rah for McKinley.’)| When that great civil war commenced no man could tell what its cutccme would be in regard to its effect upen your race. There were those who be- Hevea that it must resuit in the abolition of human slavery. There, were. those who believed otherwise. The result was the im- moital proclamation of emancipation. by the best friend you ever had, Abraham in- coln, whose name you will cherish and re- vere forever and forever more, (‘Tremendous cheering). James G. Blaine once said that the first instinct of an American was equality—equality of privilege, equality in political power. That sentiment long ago found expression in the Constitution of the United States, and the people of this coun- try placed jp that great ingtrumeyt, where it had never been before and where, under God, it shalever rematn, civil and political equality to every citizen everywhere be- heath the flag. (Applause.) “I congratulate you gentlemen upon the splendid progress that your race has made since emancipation. You have done bet- ter; you have advanced more rapidly than it was believed possible at that time; you have improved greatly the educational ad- vantages which you have had. Your peo- ple everywhere, north and. south,,are ac- cumUlating property and today you stand a3, among the most’ ¢onservative of the ¢itizens of this great republic. (Applause). J congratulate‘you frém thé’ bottom of. my heart upon the advancement you have al- ready made, and I sincerely wish for you and your race, fellow citizens of a common country, the highest realization of your hopes and your prayers. (Great cheering). “We are now engaged in a political con- test and your presence in such vast num- bers here today evidences the interest which you have in the public questions that ure now engaging the attention of the American people. We haye a great coun- try and’ We inust keep ft gréat”The post which the United States must occupy, both in wages and industries, and in the integ- rity of its finances ani currency must be at the head of the nations of the earth. (Loud applause.) To that place of honor the people of the country must restore it this year. They have the opportunity that they have wished for since 1802. Will they meet in this year, 18967 (Cries of “They will.”") “We want in the United States neither cheap money nor cheap labor. (Great cheers.) We will have neither the one nor the other. (Applause.) We must not for- get that nothing is cheap to the American Feople which comes from abroad when it entails idleness upon our own laborers. (Tremendous applause.) “We are opposed to any policy which in- creases the number of tnemployed in the United States, even if it does give us cheap- er foreign goods; and we are opposed to any policy which degrades American man- hood that we may have cheaper products made elther_at home or abroad. (Great applause.) Having reduced the pay of labor, it is néw propored to reduce the value of the maney, th which labor is paid. (Laughter and upplatise.) “Tais money question presents itself to me in this hombly fishion: If free coinage of silver means-a S¥cent dollar then it is not an honest dollar. (Applause.) If free coinage means’, 10¢-cent dollar, equal to a gold dollar, as Some ¢f its advocates assert, we will not then, have cheap dollars, but dollars just likg those we now have, and which will be @s hatd to get. (Applause.) In which case ftee comage will not help the debtor or makd it easier for him to pay his debts. (Cries 6f “That’s right.”) “My countrymen, ‘the most un-American of all appeals dhservable in this campaign is the one which tseeks to array labor against. capital,,employe against employer. ost unpatriotic and is fraught with the gteatest peril to all con- cerned. We are all’ political equals here —equal in privilege and opportunity, depen- dent upon each other, and the prosperity of the one is the prosperity of the other. (Great cheering.) It is as Mr. Lincoln said to the committee from the Workingmen’s Association of New York, in the campaign of 1864: ‘Prosperity is the fruit of labor; prosperity is desirable; it is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let no man who is home- less pull down the house of another, but let Vim work diligently and build one for him- self, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence, when mult.’ “I thank you, my fellow citizens, for this call of greetings and congratulations. I thank you for the honor you have con- ferred upon me in electing me the first hon- orary member of your organization. I as- sure you it will give me pleasure to meet eaclr one of you personally.” (Great cheer- (Applause.) It 1s | GEORGETOWN AFFAIRS Improvements of Importance on the Electric Railroads, © MISS DODGE WEDS DR. GOLDSBOROUGH An Old Man Heavily Fined for In- sulting a Lady. WALTER FINLEY’S HEROISM Considerable improvements have been’ made recently in the Great Falls eiec- tric raffroad, tending to improve the sertice-of the line. The recent im- Provements, it 1s calculated, will dou- ble and treble the capacity of the road for -handling large crowds, something badly {elt ever since the construction of the road. The tracks have been taken up in places and straightened out, and’ though a single track road, sidings have been laid all along the lire, so as to give it the appearance now almost of a double track road. The most recent improvement is now in progress, and is the laying of a switch just back of the distributing reser- voir, its need having been felt to improve the efficiency of the road. When this is completed it is calculated that cars can be run regularly on a six-minute schedule. The Washington and Falls Church elec- tric railroad is being pushed forward to completion as rapidly as possible, and it is expected that the line will be completed some time next month. The cars of the road are now running regularly to Palls- ton, on an hourly schedule. The tracks are so near Falls Church that many resi- dents in that suburb, working in ‘Wash- ington have bought commutation tickets, During this week and continuing the cars will run on to Fostoria, a small village about a mile distant from Falls Church. Dodge-Goldsborongh Wedding. There was a beautiful wedding at noon today at St. Jchn’s Church, Rev. Dr. Buck, the rector, performing the ceremony. The bride was Miss Lilie Randolph Dodge, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Heath Dodge, while the groom was Dr. Martin Worthing- ten Goldsborough of Annapolis, Md., son of Capt. Worthington Goldsborough of the navy. The maid of honor was Miss Carrie Heath Dodge, a sister of the bride, while Mr. T. Conrad Dodge acted as best man. The bride was charmingly dressed and looked beautiful. The maid of honor was also well gowned. The ushers were Messrs. Douglass Simms, Frank Dodge, Benjamin Darneille and E. Wilson of this place, and Dr. Frank Keating and Mr. Robert Golds- borough of Annapolis. The bridal couple left immediately for the north after the ceremony was performed, and thence will go south by way of the sea. Fined Seventy Dollars. Conrad Steiger, a barber, who went out before breakfast yesterday and indulged in some strong drink, got in trouble and now he is behind the bars. When he met Mrs. Martha A. Waters on 32d street he took her by the arm and invited her to go to the park on the electric cars with him. The lady informed him that he was mis- taken in the one whom he wanted io go with him, but he insisted that he was not and Policeman Fritz Passan arrested him. He had one cf the implements of his trade on him, and fer this a charge of concealed weapons in addition to charges of disorderly conduct and assault was preferred against him. Because of hi condition yesterday the old man's mem- ory was defective when he was called uy on for an explanation and Judge Mills posed fines emounting to $70 or four months’ imprisonment, two months on the farm and two in jail. The Charge Sustained. A young man named Daniel Morganthal was tried in the Police Court today on a charge of theft. The charge was preferred by Mrs. Susle Hutchinson of Dumbarton avenue, who alleged that while the de- fcrdant was working about the house the money, $25, disappeared. There was no proof that the young man took the moncy, and he was acquitted. Slept Under the Wheels. Jchn Branson, a blacksmith, while drunk, crawled into the car house of the Capital Traction Company on O street, and, falling on the track, fell asleep. He was not dis- covered until some time later, and then !t was only by chance that he was not in- jured. Workmen were starting to shove a car out of the sheds to attach to a train in waiting out on the street. The car would not push easy, and it was while examining the cause that the man was discovered lying in the darkness almost under the wheels. He was awakened and hustled out of the place in quick order. Lawn Party at Dumblane. The members of St. Ann’s Ald Society, assisted by the ladies of the sodality, are preparing for a lawn party, to be held on the Dumblane grounds, at Tenleytown, on ‘Wednesday and Thursday evenings, August 26 and 27. Amusements of all kinds will be provided for the guests, and dancing will be indulged in as usual. It is the hope of those in charge that the affair will be high- ly successful. After Unlicensed Dogs. The crusade against the tagless dogs is still being kept up by the police. Accord- ing to the returns of the police depart- ment there are nearly six hundred canines in Georgetown with owners, while there are many more who are not claimed by any one. If possible, every owner will be made to have a tag, or else get rid of the animal, and already a number of animals have been turned over to the poundmaster by the owners rather than pay the necessary $2. This morning Policeman Cornwell had James Tcker and Charles M. Robinson, white, and Charles Dodson and Mary Beader, colored, in the Police Court for not having dog licenses. Tags were produced in several cases, while time to obtain them was given in the balance. Proposed Medal for a Brave Boy. Precinct Detective Burrows says he thinks that Walter Finley, the boy who rescued Mrs. Hopkins from the river a few days ago, should be given a medal for bravery. The boy is only seventeen years old, and the ofticer says he had to swim fully 100 yards in order to reach the wo- man. In almost any other city in the world, he says, the boy would have been commended in this wi ——__ AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION. Nineteenth Annual Meeting of the Organization. The nineteenth arnual meeting of the American Bar Association, which formally began this morning in the Convention Hall at Saratoga, N. Y., will be the most largely attended and the most eventful so far in its history. This body, representing every state and territory in the United States, will continue in session three days, and will conclude with a banquet Friday night. The auxiliary sections of iegal education and patent will hold sessions on the same Mays. The fact that Lord Russell, chief justice of England, and other distinguished members of the British bar will be guests of the association, and will take a promi- nent part in the proceedings, attaches to the mecting international importance. Lord Russell speaks tomorrow on “International Arbitration.” . Lord Russell, Sir Francis Lockwood, Mon- tague Crackenthorpe and the other mem- bers of the British party reached Saratoga last evening, and at once proceeded to the United ‘States Hotel, where parlor suites had been reserved for them. The Grand Union Hotel Club parlors, as- signed to the use of the association for re- ception purposes, have been the center of attraction tor members immediately upon their arrival. Secretaries John Hinkley of Baltimore, Md., of the association, and George M. Sharp, also of Baltimore, of the section of legal education, and their asso- clates established themselves there early in the day. They arranged the necessary de- tails for the annual session. The first member to register was Moor- field Storey of Boston, the president. Last evening the members of the general council had a meeting In the reception rooms, and received nominations for mem- bers and transacted other preliminary busi- ness. The chairman of the council, Geo! P. Wanty of Grand Rapids, Mich., pre- sided. - At the close of thé session this evening Judge George S, Batchellor, ex-minister to Portugal and several years a member of. the International Tribune in Egypt, will at his residence extend a reception to Lord Russell and the other distinguished Eng- lishmen accompanying the chief justice. There will be present members of the American Bar Association and others. Work of the Association. The American Bar Association was or- ganized in 1878 “to advance the science of jurisprudence, promote the administration of justice and uniformity of legislation throughout the Union, uphold the honor of the profession cf the law and encourage cordial intercourse among th® members of the American bar.” For many years its meetings were always held in Saratoga, but in 1889 it met in Chicago, in 159i in Boston, tn 1898 in Milwackee and in 385 in Detroit, and in the alternate years at Sara- toga. in the cighteen years of the association’s existence it has dore much to carry oui 1s principles. Through its efforts commis- sions have been appointed in a majority of the states and territories to secure uniform State laws on variovs important subjects. ‘These commissions hold ar. annual meeting at the same time and place as the mecting of the association for the purpose of carry- ing on their work. Through their effuris a number of states have passed important acts tending to make uniform the laws of the various states. Prior to the act of Congress in 1sy1 con- stituting cireuit courts of appeal, the sub- ject of the relief of the Supreme Court from the excessive burden of litgation was largely discussed by the association, and the act providing for the new courts was passed chiefly through its efforts, with satisfactory results in the administration of justice in the United States. The subject of legal education has been discussed by the association during the iast five years in the fullest manner. As a re- sult, the standard of education for the bar has been very much raised and a three years’ law course has been established in a large number of law schools. It is party this work of the association which ied thc lord chief justice of England, in his address to the Inns of Court in 1895, to speak in terms of commendation of the high efti- ciency of legal education in the law schools of the United States. A section cf patent law, consisting of eminent patent lawyers, has charge of the amendments of peient legislation in Con- gress. Members and Officers, The association has a membership of over 1,200 lawyers, representative men from all the states and territories. The present officers of the associat'on are: Moorfield Storey of Boston, president; John Hinkley of Baltimore, secretary, and Francis Rawle of Philadelyhia, treasurer. Its fitst president was James O. Broadhead .of St, Louis, Other presidents, elected annually, have been: Benjamin H. Bristow, New York Edward J. Phelps, Burlington, Vt; Clark- son N. Potter, New York; Alexander K. Lawton, Savannah, Ga.; Courtlandt Par- ker, Newark, N. J.; John W. Stevenson, Covington, Ky.; William Allen Butler, New York; Thomas J. Semmes, New Orleans; George G. Wright, Des Moines, Iowa; Da- vid Dudley Field, New York; Henry Hiteh- cock, St. Louis, Mo.; Simeon E. Baldwin, New Haven, Conn.; John F. Dillon, New York; J.

The democratic state convention at Do- ver, Del., yesterday nominated the follow- ing ticket: For governor—Ebe W. Tunnell of Sussex. man—L. Irving Handy of New- Electors—John H, Roney of Newcastle, John Harrington of Kent and Paynter Frame of Syscex. The result of the gubernatorial fight has left a bitter feeling, the friends of Peter J. Ford of Wilmington, who was defeated by Tunnell, openly avowing that they will not support the ticket. The defeat of Ford is mainly due to the efforts of Pat Neary of Wilmington, who opposed his nomina- tion from ‘the beginning. The convention was the most turbulent ever held in Dover, and on several occa- sions it was impossible to continue, owing to the actions of a number of Wilmington roughs. When the committee on resolutions re- ported an effort was made by Harold Sudel, a member of the committee and a single tax delegate, to present a minority report, but he was howled down by the delegates and spectators. A motion to adopt the majority report has been rushed througii amid cries of “Free speech!” and “Gag law!” from the ‘friends of Sudel. “The convention essembied at 12:30 o'clock, effected a temporary organization and ad- joufned until 2 o'clock. When it was reconvened the committee cn permanent organization reported in fa- vor of ex-Gov. Robert J. Reynolds as chair- man, and a vice president and secretary from each county was named. John F. Haubbury, for the committee on resolutions, stated that the resolutions were the result of a compromise between the verious factions in the party. They read as follows: “The democratic party of Delaware in state convention assembled declares again its allegiance to the cardinal principles of the democratic faith which have so long been illustrated in past party platforms, and through many years of successful prac. tice in the government of our state. It pledges itself to receiving and maintaining the economical conduct of our state gov- ernment, which has characterized it in past administrations, to secure as far as possi- ble the equitable distribution of the bur- dens of taxation, which should be so ad- justed as to release from restraint as far as possible the industrial activities of our people. “In the election of a constitutional con- vention it demands such changes in our organic law as shall meet the exigencies of the present day as recommended by the experience of the past, and that the work of that convention shall first be ratified by the people before becoming operative. “It denounces the prevalent debauchery of the electoral of the state by the cor- rupting hand of ambition and wealth, and it appeals to a healthy public opinion to support a vigorous execution of the laws against bribery at the polls. “It pledges the electors this day nomi- nated to the support of the candidates, Wm. J. Bryan and Arthur Sewall, nom! nated for President and Vice President by the national democratic convention, held in Chicago on the 7th of July last. “It presents to the thoughtful considera- tion of the citizens of Delaware the high character and citizenship of the candidates nominated for the trusts which the votes of a free people alone can confer.” Single Taxer Sudel had tried to have in- corporated in the platform this short para- graph: “We favor the abolition of all taxes upon labor or the products of labor, and the reduction of the poll tax to the lowest amount possible. We hold that all taxation should be concentrated upon that form of property to which all men have an equal natural right, viz: land value: —_—__+0+—___. Nominated for Congress. Congressman Horace G.

Canadian People Follow the Example of the Banks and Refuse to Take It. From the New York World. MONTREAL, Que., August 17, 189.—As surely as the new day comes, just so sure- ly is the fact becoming apparent through- oat Canada that Canadian people are afraid to accept American silver coin be- cause they fear they cannot again place it on the market at its face value. ‘The movement against American silver is about three months old, but during the last two weeks the banks have decided not to accept even bills, except at a ten per cent discount. The first to take decisive steps was the Bankers’ Association of Montreal, which discussed the question at length and sent a delegation to interview the minister of finance at Ottawa and get his opinion. The election fight was, how- ever, on, and he put them off. Shortly after this the Bank of Montreal refused absolutely to take the American coin, This was about three months ago. A month later the Grand Trunk and Ca- nadian Pacitic railways came out with a similar announcement, and two weeks ago the Montreal Street’ Railway Company, which had daily turned over about $1,000 in American halves, quarters and dimes, put up a notice in the cars absolutely to accept no United States coin. All the banks have, since the Bank of Montrea! took the Initiative, joined what is now evidently a combination, and not a dollar's worth of United States silver could be passed through a Canadian bank today were it worth {ts weight in gold. The ac- tion of the banks and large corporations has caused a mild panic among these who have the silver, for since the edict has gone out not a tradesman of any descrip- tion will look at the coins, and even the saloonkeepers, who two weeks ago were glad to get them, now refuse them. At one or two of the better class hotels where Americans stay the order is not £0 binding, but, with this exception, the city has shut out the coin most effectively, even to the extent of refusing it at athletic games, where formerly anything, even leaden quariers, could be passed. The board of trade of almost every lt- tle town, particularly in eastern C has followed the lead of St. Hya’ and resolutions exceedingly strong i condemnation of the silver issue at coming American presidential election are quite common, these being followed by the words “And it is. therefore, in the inter- ests of the Canadian people that we de- clare against American silver, and urge aipon all the necessity of absolutely re- fusing to accept it in payment in place of sound money.” ‘To sum the matter up, in Montreal the bankers have a3 much Canadian silver as they can handle, to say nothing of the American, ana it was to their interest to keep the latter from the country. They have succeeded to a degree that was never thought to have been possible. Officer Lyda Dangerously M1. Officer Wm. B.
