Assailant ix Committed to Jail Without Ba This morning, when word was received at the sixth precinct station that Sam Lung was unconscious, and would probably not live very long, Precinct Detective Har- tigan hurried off with Charles Coates, the ycung colored man who had used the plece of gas pipe on Lung’s head, and had him photographed for the gallery. Later the detective learned that there was no truth in the message. Sam had only been sleep- ing, and about breakfast time he was not only conscious, but appeared much better than he did yesterday. This morning he ate his breakfast with an apparent relish, and when called upon by a Star reporter, he showed more interest in the matter of punishing his assailant than he had shown before. He was particularly anxious to know where Coates was locked up, and when the case would be heard in court. Last night he said the Chinese doctor call- ed again and dressed his wounded head, as well as giving him some medicine, and he has the fullest confidence in the doctor’s ability to cure him. When Coates had been measured and photographed for the gallery he was teken before Judge Miller on a charge of having ccmmitted a murderous assault on Sam Lung with intent to take his Hfe. The condition of his victim was reported, and Coates was committed to jail without bail. John Hurley, who was also arrested, was in custody as a United States witness. He and Coates are intimate friends, and the police feared that unless they held him he would not be here when the case is called Judge Miller held him in $500 se- Ernest Brooks, who was also ar- |, Was released. === SSS Sent to Jail. William Northridge, a brother of the weli- known local pugilist, was yesterday after- noon sent to jail for ninety days by Judge Miller for the larceny of a fur boa, Decem- ber from the establishment of William H. McKnew. Annie Addison, who passes as the wife of Northridge, was jointly charged with the theft, but as the man as- sumed the entire responsibility, and at the instance of Mr. McKnew, the case against her was nolle prossed. Northridge entered a plea of guilty, and his attorney, Mr. Shiilington, requested that a light fine be imposed, as Northridge intended to leave the city. After calling to mind a case of conspiracy to rob an old soldier, in which Northridge figured several years ago, Judge Miller declined to impose @ fine, but sentenced the man as stated. es Garfield Post. The installation of the newly elected offi- cers of James A. Garfield Post, Grand Army of the Republic, took place at the beautiful hall of the Legion of Loyal Wo- men on the evening of the 6th instant. The hall was brilliantly illuminated, and the walls were tastefully decorated with me- mentoes, and “old glory” hung in graceful folds from every part of the hall, which brought to the minds of the “old vets.” reminiscences from "61 to '65. A very large number of the department officers were on hand, while the members of the post turned out in full uniform, the officers with their side arms, together with many comrades from kindred posts with their families, to witness the beautiful and impressive ceremony. ‘The following officers were duly installed: Post commander, Aaron H.

The annual meeting of the directors of the Louisville Base Ball Ciub, which had been postponed because of the death of George Ruckstahl, one of the largest stockholders, was held in Louisville last night. ‘The meeting was entirely harmonious. Al- though the plans for the coming season were discussed in detail, the feature of the meeting was the retirement of Dr. ‘T. Hunt Stuckey from the presidency of the club and the election of Harry Pulliam to suc_ ceed him. Mr. Pulliam acted as financial agent of the club for several years, is well known in base ball circles throughout the country and popular in Louisville. First Baseman Jimmy Rogers, who went to Louisville toward the close of last sea- son from Washington, will manage the Colonels this year, suc‘eeding Manager W. H. McGunn President Pulliam was given the disposal of $10,000 to be used to strengthen the club by the purchase of new players, trading or in any way he sees fic. An incentive to good work on the part of the 1807 team is given in the offer of premiums to be determined by the standing of the club at the end of the season. If the Colonels soar to ninth place $1,000 is to be distributed among the players; if to eighth, $2,000; If seventh is reached, $3,000 will be divided up. In addition to this a prize of $100 will be given at the end of the season to the man having the best batting average, the man with the best base-stealing record, the man making the most sacrifice hits’ and the pitcher who, wins the most games. After the meeting the directors were ten- dered a banquet by Secretary Dehler. Basket Ball. The Corcoran Cadets and the Queer Wheelmen basket ball teams played a reg- ularly scheduled game lest evening at Car- rcll Institute, and the former team won by the score of 4 to 3. The game was well played and extremely interesting. There was a lack of rough playing, and plenty of open and free passing. The winning team put up a rattling gocd game, and narrewly missed several more goals on difficult throws. Davis, who played ene- my’s goal for the cadets, succeeded in dis- tinguishing himself by making three of the four goals, Dodge making the fourth one. Becker placed the ball twice in the basket for the Queers. Mr. Jos.,Mangan and In- structor Maurice Joyee, beih of the Carroll Institute, officiated as umpire and referee, respectively, 1 Gott, The finals in the foufso tcurney of the Washingtop Golf Club were played yesterday on the tinks near Rosslyn, Messrs, Horace Wyli¢ and{J..W.
