A boy named “Professor” Hopkins, aged about ten years, and a young man named George Diggs, are under arrest at the fourth precinct station on the charge of ing to kill William Hopkins, father or. ording to statements made in the case the boy some time since became imbued n the idea that if his father was dead all the money belonging to his father would immediately come into his possession, and he could then have a good time spending it. With this end in view, the boy, on Mon- day of last week, went to a drug store near his home, which is at No. 200 41% street southwest, and purchased 15 cents’ worth of arsenic, stating to the druggist that his father wanted it for the purpose of killing rats, and as the druggist knew both the boy and his father the poison was furnished to him. Professor then took the poison home and awaited an opportunity to make use of it fi aylor, a domestic made a potato e for dinner.

Nelson Paine, a druggist, whose estab- lishment is at Ist and R streets, was in the Police Court today to answer an informa- tion charging assault, the complainant be- ing Jeremiah A. Gardner, a clerk in the pension office, who resides at 626 7th street northeast. Mr. Paine was released on his personal bonds, to appear later In the day and frunish bail in the sum of $100 to ap- pear for trial Wednesday next The alleged assault was committed short- ly after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the east front of the pension office build- S, creating considerable excitement, and attracting a large crowd. According to Mr. he had just mounted his bicycle, Paine, approaching, knocked him wheel, and, as he attempted to struck him again and again. When he | appeared in court today Mr. Gardner was somewhat disfigured. Mr. Paine's siory is to the effect that hi wife informed him of an accusation of fidelity uttered by Gardner. The latter, when confronted ith this statement, char- eas a liar. Mr. P: acterized Mrs. Pa then allowed Mr. Gardner thirt retract and apologize. The retrac' apology not being made, the thrashing was aliempted, as promised. Mr. Gardner states that the affair was the outcome of a mis- take. ————— It matters little what it is that you want whether a situation or a servant—a “vant” ad. in The Star will reach the ma Who can fill your need. | Maryland Republicans.

NEWSCREENTG WARD OFF FOULBALLS Banquet in Honor of the Cham- ne pion Loca’ Bowlers. CURRENT SPORTING NOTES patie OLS Se The atmisphere was again too frosty at National Park this morning to permit ac- tive work on the diamond, and the players assembled in the dressing room and talk- ed “shop” until Manager Schmelz put in an appearance. Then “Gus” assumed the role of teacher and questions and sugges- tions followed thick and fast until the lit- tle school was dismissed at 11 o'clock. This afternoon at 2 o'clock the usual outdoor practice began and was kept up until 4:30. Quite an improvement was swung into place at the groynds this morning in the shape of an iron frame, to which will be Stephen Ashe, Pitcher. attached the wire screen to ward off the foul balls directly back of the catcher. The frame is quite a large one, covering the entire front of the center stand, and branch rods run off to the side, so that wild balls will be scarce among the ladi tne coming season. Outside of the new screen's utility, the frame will be a pleasing inno- vation over the clumsy affair that has heretofore held the netting in place. The right field bleachers are rapidly suming proper shape, and in a day or two will be completed. Several carpenters were at_work on them this morning. peaking of ephen Ash new pitchel Mr. Wagner sa he first saw him one of the s that when he remarked on the strong resemblance he bore to Fitzsim- mons. Ashe Is tall, but compactly built, his body being big, while his limbs are rather undersized,-and in connection with the broad, high’ forehead, completes the contrast with the successful prize fighter. Asbe was born twenty-two years ago in Thompsonville, Cohn., and up to three years ago called that town his home. He began playing professional bail in 1894 with the Amsterdam, ,N. Y., club of the state league, and, although it was his “first year In 1895 Portland, out,” his record. was a good one. Ashe was secured by the club of the New E tinued with the ° Season, obtaining througho complimentary t year the Newport, R. 1, club, also of the New Englanders, snappeil him up, and his good work with this club was the recommenda- tion that led, to Messrs.

No anxiety is felt about these players, but it would be a graceful act for both of them to show their appreciation of past favors by getting into harness early in the season with the rest uf the boys. Base Ball, Fred Clarke, left fielder of the Louisville Base Ball Club, and who had refused to sign, yesterday reported for duty and sign- ed. This completes the team. William McGill, a former pitcher for the Chicago Base Ball Club, has signed with the St. Pauls of the Western Association. He will join his club at Cincinnati, where he will pitch the opening game on 1, in a serles with Buck Ewing’s ager tion. William Quarles died at his home at Petersburg yesterday afternoon from the effects of a surgical operation. Quarles ft Petersburg in 1804 to play with the Savannah, Ga., team, and finished up inat son with the Boston National League. { season he was with the Scranton and Wilkesbarre, Pa., teams of the Hastern League. Last summer he pitched for the Petersburg Club. President Byrne of the Brooklyn Base Ball Club yesterday signed a promising player, named McCauley, a catcher. The Brooklyn club has not yet decided when it will leave its grounds for the coming sea- son. WON BY MANIFESTO. Great Crowds Witness the Big En- #lish Steeplechase of the Year. LIVERPOOL, March 26.—The grand na tional steeplechase was won today by Man- ifesto. Filbert was second and Ford of Fyne was third. ‘The grand national steeplechase is of 2,000 sovereigns (inclusive of a trophy of the value of 100 sovereigns), the second horse to receive 300 sovereigns and the third 200 sovereigns from the stakes, a handicap for four-yéar-olds and upward; grand national course, about four miles and 856 yards. The grand national has always been the &reat steeplechase of the year. A lot of mcney was lost this year, because several animals that were heavily backed broke dcwn or were scratched. Wild Man of Bor- neo, who won two, years ago, and was thought likely to win again, and Norton and Cathal were well’liked by good judges. The Soarer, who won last year, had a good following this year. Barcalwey had @ heavy following up to the Gatwick races, when he wes soundly beaten. Bevil was ‘Well backed and then’ broke down. Rumors were current yesterday respect- ing Borneo, causing'an ominous decline in the betting. Wednesday the horse was treated for kidney ‘trouble. He appeared cured, and was sent ‘out for a trial gallop yesterday morning, running well. Since then it was reported that he had received @ strain, whick brought on a revival of the illness. The result of these rumors was to send the betting from 5 to 1 to about 10 to 1. This left Cathal favorite at 7 to 1, with strong backers. Manifesto at 100 to 8, and Nerton at 100 to 12, Soarer, Greenhill, Nel- le Gray and Timon were also strongly fa- vored. The doubts respecting Borneo's condition gave unusual interest to the contest. Great crowds assembled at Aintree to see the race tgday. The weather was good, and there were twenty-nine starters, in. cluding Cathal, ridden by his owner, the Hon. R. Ward; Wild Man of Borneo, ridden by J. W. Idger; the Soarer, last year’s win- ner, again ridden by D. G. M. Campbell of the Ninth Larcers, who came specially frem India for this purpose, and Genatlet, ridden by Capt. Hope Johnstone. Most the other horses were ridden by profes- sicnals. BANQUETED THE BOWLERS. Entertainment im Honor ef the Sacn- gerbund Team. A banquet and musicale was given by the Arion Bowling Club at the banquet hall of the Arion Singing Society last night in henor of the Saengerbund bowling team, which won the championship of the District for the season just passed. The occasion was the regular monthly social meeting of the Arion Club, and there were present besides the members of the Saen- gerbund team, representatives of the Car- roll Institute, the Washington Athletic Club, the Columbia Athletic Club and a number of invited guests and well known bowlers. The Arion Singing Society as- sisted in the festivities and gave a number of songs, under the direction of Prof. Holer, that were much enjoyed. After the short program the guests adjourned to tne banquet hall. Toasts were responded to by Bernard Locraft of the Carroll Institute team, Capt. William Kidd of the Washing- ton Athletic Club and Jacobus Jones of the C. A. C. Then came remarks by Mr. Harlow of the C. I. reserves, and by S. Desio of the Saenger reserves. Impromptu speeches were made by oth- ers, and the remainder of the evening was passed in social enjoyment. Sullivan Challenges Fitzsimmons. Frank V. Dunn kas denosited at Boston $1,000 with a temporary stakeholder on be- half of John L. Sullivan, and challenges Robert Fitzsimmons to fight to a finish with gloves before the club giving the larg- est purse for $5,000 a side and the cham- pionship of the world within nine months from date. Dunn says he means it. Le Droits Organize. The Le Droit base ball team has organiz- ed for lis fourth season, with the follow- ing players: Cassin and Engle, catchers; H. Burns and C. Hoove, pitchers, and C. Hoover, G. Kohlers, Blakeney, J. Mack- well, Smith, Re E. Burns, J. Turner. The Le Droits will play the Columbian University a practice game tomorrow at 3 o'clock on the C. A. C. grounds, foot of lith street. The Le Droits would like to hear from all teams under twenty years of age. Address Manager J. Cassin, corner 7th and M streets northwest. Mr, Gladstone 2 Wheelman. Bicycle enthusiasts are greatly pleased with the news that Mr. Gladstone, not- withstanding his great age, has joined the ranks of the wheelmen. He has written to a friend in London that he has fairly mastered the machine. Brooklyn Lacrosse Men Won Abroad. The lacrosse team of the Crescent Ath- letic Club of Brooklyn, N. Y., won their first game in England yesterday by a score of 7 to 3 against the southern champions. About a thevsand persons witnessed the game, which was played against the West London Lacrosse Club at Woodgreen. The Americans received an ovation when they appeared on the field. Both teams were in fine condition, the Brooklyn men having entirely recovered from the effects of their seasickness, which was a feature of their passage 2cross the Atlantic. The Loadoners won the first goal. During the second half a Londoner, War- brick, crowded Curry of Brooklyn against the fence, and the latter attempted to strike his opponent. Amid intense excite- ment both teams rushed to the spot, and a general fight seemed imminent, but the referce ruled Warbrick off the field. The game was very keen throughout, abounding in fine points and pretty plays. A high wind interfered with shooting the goals. The Atlantic League. At the mecting of the Atlantic Base Ball League in New York yesterday afternoon it was denied by both President Barrow and Dennis A. Long, president of the Read- ing club, that there was any truth in the rumor that Andrew A. Freedman, presi- dent of the New Yorks, was after the Reading franchise. It was decided that no club should play farmed players, except the Athletics, who are limited to Philade phia National League players. After adopi- ing the sc ule the board 2djourred to meet in Philade!phia November 23. Last Smoker of the Season. The Columbia Athletic Club will give its last smoker of the season tomorrow even- ing.

There will be a number of spirited wrestling and sparring | bouts, high trapeze work, pole vaulting and other exhibitions of athletic work. Secession From the L. A. W. The first official action looking to seces- sion from the League of American Wheel- men in Minnesota was taken last even- ing by Minneapolis and St. Paul cyclists. The seps taken look to the organization of a rational body by the name of the United Wheelmen of America, of which Minresota will be a division, and have control of its own racing matters. Tem- porary organization was perfected, which will make arrangements for a meeting to be held by cyclists of the state of Minne- sota in Minneapolis, April 21, when perma- nent organization will be perfected. Baltimores at Macon. The Baltimores opened their preliminary season at Central City Park, Macon, G: yesterday, with the regular and reserve nines of the club. ‘The champions showed up in great form. In batting, base run- hing and nelding their work was sharp and clean. In batting and base running the champions were strong; and Mr. Hanlon declares that his men will capture the pen. rant this year, = Chicago Athletes Coming East. CHICAGO, March 26.—Representatives from the Chicago Athletic Association will compete in the national amateur cham- pionships urder the auspices of the Ama- teur Athletic Union, New York, this sum- mer. Such is the decision attributed to the athletic. committee by a prominent offti- cial of the club. The Cherry Circle or- ganization is said to be determined to regain it lost prestige in the wesiern athletic werld, and the determination to send a track team east is in-line with the policy. The military and athletic car- nival at the Coliseum, under the auspices of the C. A. A., is another step in the same direction, ——_.—___ If you want anything, try ar ad. in The Star.
