German pitched the first game for the Washingtons and did fairly well, although his usual bad inning cropped out; but the men back of him could not use the bat ef- fectively, although they fielded well. Little Cunningham twirled another good game for the Colonels, not a safe hit be- ing registered off of his delivery for the first four innings, and with men on bases he was almost invincible. .)

In the ninth they got their third and last run on Mc- Guire’s single to center, another by Tuck- er that drove him to third and then home on Farrell’s single to right, who batted in German's place. In the second game McJames started to do the twirling for the Senators, but they solved his shoots and benders so easily that he was removed from the game at the conclusion of the third inning, Hillary Swaim taking his place. The elongated Qhio boy pitched good ball fer the remain- ing six innings of the game, but two safe hits being made off of his delivery. Dowling, the new discovery of the Col- onels, started to do the pitching for his team. but he also suffered almost as badly as McJames, and ke was sent to the bench by Captain Clarke, who saw another vic- tory in sight and wanted to cinch it. “Chick” Frazer was the pitcher that re- Heved him, and it was all over but cashing the checks when he went to the rubber, the Senators not getting a man over: the -Psute for the six innings that followed. _; In the first inning Selbach reached first on Stafford’s error and went to second while the firat baseman was recovering the ball. He scored from that base on Wrig- ley’s nice single to center. In the second Tucker slammed a beauty into right for one base, Reilly sent him to second on a safe one to left and he came home while O’Brien was being retired by Dolan and Werden. Two runs, and the last, were placed to the Washingtons’ credit in the third. Selbach went to first on balls, and he and Wrigley were safe on Dowling’s try for a force at second on the ball hit to him by “Zeke.” Both runners advanced a on DeMont’ out and then came across the plate on Far- rell’s single to left.

CRYING BABES NO NUISANCE Grand Jury Dectines to Indict Washington Hospital for Foundlings. ‘Report Handed in to Justice Cole This Afternopn—The Comments and Suggestions Made. The grand jury, through Foreman Chas. HL. Raub, presented to Judge Cole in Crim- inal Court No. 1 this afternoon the follow- ing report in the matter of the complaints recently made against the Washington Hospital for Foundlings: “Complaint having been made in due form of the Washington Hospital for Foundlings as a nuisance, we, the grand jurors, after careful inspection and inves- tigetion, hereby submit the following re- port: . “We personally visited the Washington Hospital for Foundlings, and found the same to be in excellent sanitary condition and a well-conducted institution, While there is some annoyance from the crying of babies during the warm season, as has been testified to by reputable citizens, we knew of no remedy to stop it, and do not think the grievance of those complaining sufficient to justify us in declaring this humane and useful institution a nuisance. Should Increase the Force. “We recommend, however, that the au- tkerities be requested, and, if possible, re- quired, to double their present force of nurses for night duty, as the present force is inadequate tc properly care for the chil- Gren. “We further recommend that, if it be Possible to do so, the children be moved to the country during the heated term. Should a suitable place be obtained for these help- less infants during the warm months it would be of great benefit to the chiidren, besides removing the existing cause of com- Plaint of the residents, as they allege no annoyance at other seasons.” Possibie Appeal Elsewhere. Judge Cole directed that the report be received and filed. This action of the grand jury is, of course, a refusal to present the hospital for indict- ment as a nuisance, and the persons in its neighborhood who made the complaints will 0 Reilly, . 0 O'Brien, 2b..

McGraw is little known as a ball player, says the Chicago Inter-Qcean, for the rea- son that he seldcm plays out an entire game. After about four innings the um- pire has invariably to treat him lke he would a squalling tomeat or a persistent puppy er any other small animal—take him by the loose skin on the back of his — neck and throw him® out of the yard. ‘The game at Chicago Sunday was marred by a piece of ugly work by Lange, who purposely bumped into Clarke as the catcher started to throw to second base. Clarke's arm struck Lange’s bat, the threw went wild and two men MecDenald refused to notice the trick, which came near injuring Clarke's arm. Lange gave Clarke, the laugh when the interference wes claimed, and Anson near- ly fell off the bench in his glee.

Afterward Logan and his staff, rid- ing forward, came upon the hut, from which a bit of yellow cloth was fluttering. Supposing it was a hospital, they inquired of an old woman in the doorway. “I put out that yer hosp't’l rag so’s you'ns wouldn't be pesterin’ round so much,” she exclaimed. “Ef you'ns is real doctors,” to the surgeons, “just look in and see what you'ns all done with yer shellin’. Time my gal was sickest, two of you'n shells ceme clar through my cabin, and I tell you it was right skeery for a spell.” The rough jog cabin afforded but one room. A small log meat house was empty. The cow stable had been to pieces by shells. In a “lean to” there was a primitive loom, con- taining a partially finished piece of home- spun. The only other articles were an old skillet, a dilapidated bed, two or three chairs without backs, and a queer collec- tion of gourds. Shelis had shattered the roof and pierced the walls. One had cut a log entirely in two, and the jagged end hung threateningly over the bed, upon which, to the astonishment of the party, lay @ young girl, by whose side was a new- born babe. The mother was the wife of a confederate soldier, who had been killed tn the army a short time before. One of the soldiers cut some of the cloth from the loom with his jack knife, and the little stranger was wrapped in it. Gen. stood looking at the scene with moist eyes. Then he''said tersely: “That looks d—n Trough. I say, boys, can’t you straighten this up a little? Fix up that roof and help the old lady a little. I don’t think it would hurt you to leave a part of your rations.” The chaplain was sent for to christen the baby, Logan consenting to become its god- father. “What are you going to give her for a name? I want suthin’ now,” said the grandmother, and the chfid was duly baptized “Shell-Anna.” Logan took a gold pocket plece, which he had carrie for a time, tendering tt as a “christening gift” He cautioned the old woman to put the money in a safe place lest somie “bum- mer should steal it in spite of everything.” The men emptied their mak’ such a commissary store of meat, sugar, hard tack and coffee as probably the poor cracker woman had not seen in many @ day. Logan left a guard over the cabin until the last straggler had passed. A week afterward he rode back eight miles to after his proteges, whom he found and thriving. : ——_+o2—___ FORT USED AS -A BARN. Fameus Southern Stronghold Now Used as a Stable for Horses, From the Macon, Ga., Telegraph. A few days ago Ben. L. Jones converted the old fort built in 1806 at Fort Hawkins imto a barn. Although the old log struct- ure has stocd the storm of shot and shell, and has been exposed to all the varying changes of weather since that early period, not an uusound timber is to be seen in it today. The logs of which it is constructed are as solid and sound as they were at first. ‘The fort was made of Georgia heart pine, and today it would burn like rosin if a match were stuck to a ragged end. The structure was built as a government trading post or factory, where deer skins were purchasgd from the Indians. During the Creek war, from 1812 to 1814, it was a rendezvous and distributing point for the United States soldiers, and Maj. Phil. Cook was in command. Anticipating the dangers from the torch of the treacherous red man, the whites built the fort on a high stone foundation, the floor of the wooden struc- ture extending beyond the rock walls. Portholes were made in the extended floor, so as to shoot Indians who might try to seale the walls to set fire to the woodwork. ring the famous Creek war incited by ‘Tecumseh and his brother, who was known prophet, this bullding was in the center of the territory attacked. Tecumseh was one of the most eloquent of Indians, and when the war was begun between Great Britain and the United States he to ¢ gt “then “chat then ad m —a ae for the indians to reclaim their lands from the whites. He read in an eastern paper that a comet would appear in the sky at a given time. So he notified the Indians that when his arrow appeared in the heavens it would be a sign for them to attack the whites.
