Barriere, a white man about y years of age, was today held in $2,000 i for the acticn of the grand jury by Kimball for having carnal knawl- of Mary M. Grady, a pretty little girl, aged between fifteen and six- teen years. Barriere waived a hearing, but Prosecu- tor Shillington, acting for Mr. Mullowny, asked Judge Kimball if he did not wish to hear the statement of the complaining witness, and, upon his assenting, the little girl took the stand. Miss Grady told Judge Kimball in a very lew tone ef voice that she was fifteen years of age last January, and that the prisoner was her brother-in-law, having married her sister about six or seven years ago. Seon after she was fifteen years oid, she said, Barriere began to make improper Propo-als to her, and having belief in his assertions that there wculd be nothing wrons if she yielded to his importunities, she did so. The illicit relations then entered into, she said, were kept up, until the result is that she is now far advanced in pregnancy. Barricre, ehe said, had tried to have an alcrtion produced. Judge Kimtall arnounced, after examin- ing the law on the subject, that it was clear the accused had, according to the testimony of Mi Grady, violated the age of consent law, and he would hold him in a heavy bond. The prisoner was unable t> give the $2,000 bail required, and went to jail to await a further hearing. The maximum penalty upon conviction for the offense with which Barriere is charged is imprisonment in the penitentiary for five years. ALLEGED. fer’ white —_.s___ APPEALED TO SYMPATHY. Jebn Johnson € d= With Ob- ng Moncy Under False Pretenses. John Johnson, alias William Lancaster, @lias Dr. Johnson, colored, was today held in 0 bail for the action of the grand jury by Judge Kimball to answer the charse of obtaining $8.25 by means of false pretenses from Mrs. Rose Thomas. Mrs. Thomas testified that early in July the prisoner called at her home and asked her for the loan of $12, which, he stated, he wanted to use in making up $1,800, which, he said, was stolen from his desk in the pension offic He asserted, she said, that he had $1,700 of his own in bank, but that unless he could get the amount he would be locked up. Mrs. ‘Thomas did not have the money. She had pity for the accused, however, and, believ- ing his story, and being assured that he weuld lose his position if the money al- Jeged to have been stolen from him was not made good to the government, borrow- be at different times $4.25, which she gave im. Miss Gertrude Thomas, daughter of the Preceding witness, confirmed her mother’s testimony, and stated that having become doubtful that Johnson was employed in the pension office, she hunted him up, and po he was proprietor of an intelligence Mr. J. H. Batley of the pension office testified that the prisoner, so far as known by him, had never been employed in the Pension bureau. Judge Kimball then took the action above stated.

Mercer was on the rubber for the Sen- ators, and for four innings his delivery was a puzzle to the Beaneeters, but thereafter the bats of the home club connected with startling regularity with the handsome boy’s delivery, Stahl and Duffy, particu- larly, fancying the slow ball. Sixteen safe Fits is not a record to ke proud of, but the best of twirlers will have their off days, and besides the fielding back of Win- nie might have been better. ‘The college boy, Lewis, was on the rub- ber for the Bestons, and the way.he pulled off his game was an eye-opener for those who pretend to believe thaf this man Is In the second class of pitchers. Lewis held the Washingtons down to three safeties, Selbach getting two of them and Tom Brown the other. This pitcher treated the heavy-hitting New Yorks to almost as bad a dose recently, so that the loc: ans can- not register much of a kick on their club's hitting yesterday. A hard luck and lamentable feature of yesterday's game was the injury inflicted on Herman Long by one of Mercer's speedy inshoots. It caught the placky and bril- liant shortstop on the wrist of his right hend, and it ts reported that several of the small bones were broken. If this should prove to be true the Bostons might as well throw up their hands so far as the cham- pionship race is concerned, as the work of Long will be missed and prove to be too great a handicap to overeome. Neither side scored in the first inning, but in the second the Bostons rushed a runner over the plate on Duffy's single to left, a sacrifice carrying him to second, an error by Brown landing him on third, and he scored on the throw down to second, that O’Brien returned wild to the catcher. In the fifth the Beaneaters tallied four times. After Tenney had been retired by De Mont, Stahl hit safely to right, and on Abbey's error, Long, who had reached first en balls, scored and Stahl went to third. Duffy, Collins and Lowe followed with safe hits, and when the smoke cleared away four runs had been chalked up. In the sixth two additional tallies were added to the Boston’s score. Hamilton made a hit and went to third on Tenney’s single and home on Stahl's safe one to right. A double steal was then tried for, and on Wrigley’s error Tenney crossed the plate. In the eighth inning the last run went up for the Hostons, making eight in all. After two hands were out, Allen hit a safe one into left, and went to second en Wrigley’s wild throw. Duffy then soaked a good one into left and Allen came home. It was blank after blank for the Sen- ators, not a man reaching third base until the eighth inning, but even then a tally Was prevented. Selbach opened up with a ‘e two-bagger and Brown got his first on Is. De Mont then drove an apparently safe hit into left, that fooled Selhach, Duffy making a difficult catch and doubling the little German at second base. The buses were filled after these two outs, but O'Brien failed to come to the rescue, going out on an easy fly to Lowe at second. BOSTON. ' WASHINGTON.

Boston has nothing to offer us, and a deal with that club is not likely. Walter Wilmot waa in the game yester- Gay at New York and secured a nice bingle and a put out. Holmes has been benched. Mr. “Chick” Hoffer seems to have ap- parently regained his old-time form, if yes- terday’s exhibition can be taken as a cri- terion. The Brooklyns can hit a little bit, end the holding of them down to three sin- gles is a feat worthy of the great Rusie. It 1s wonderful how the Baltimore players come and go as to form. Cincinrati, Cleveland and Louisville are coming east this trip well primed and more than ready for trades, to say nothing of Von Der Ahe’s readiness to sell players a: any time. The Senators can use Donohue or Hallman of St. Louls, McKean or Childs of the Clevelands; but Fred Clarke is about the only Colonel the local management cares about negotiating for. Catcher Robinson was back in the game yesterday for Baltimore, and it is a fore- gone conclusion that his coaching of Hoffer — in that young man's excellent wor! Anson has fallen off in his stick work thts year, but as a fielding first baseman he is all right, all right. Think of the chances @ first baseman has in a season and then size up the good work of Anson, who has made only six errors so far this season. The Atlantic City team of semi-profes- sionals may not be able to defeat visiting Professional clubs, but they can at least try to cripple them. The latest freak down along the sad sea waves is to steal bats. Delehanty and Padden were the sufferers, the former getting robbed of a bat shat he has nursed for several years. But it makes little difference to Del. He had a new bat yesterday at New York and cracked out a pean two singles. ‘apt. Anson has made several wagers that his Chicago team will finish in the first division, and it looks as if he would get there, as the Colts are good stayers. With all to win and nothing to lose, the Senators can play good ball until they go against Baltimcre; then they lie down like inmates of an old ladies’ home. Tom Tucker ts still bingling them out at Washington. He has done much better stick werk for the Senatcrs than he did for Boston last year. At the Hub he was under the constant fire of hostile critics, and it takes an iron man to survive that sort of warfare.—Rxchange. A rare bunch of human exoties was in the right wing of the grand stand, where little Miss Farrell, Miss Tucker, Miss Nich- ols and Mise Brown held a peanut party.— Boston Globe. “Denny” Lyons, who was recently re- leased by Pittsburg, has refused several gcod offers. Like McAleer of Cleveland, he will lay off for the balance of the sea- son and start afresh in the spring. Emslie should never have allowed O'Brien to get off with that dirty ball playing in the ninth, when he stopped Ber- gen.—Boston Globe. The Washington players feel confident that-Farrell and McGuire can out-catch any two men in the business. Mercer and McJames claim that Farrell understands the weak points of every league player when at the bat, and in that way is in- valuable to pitchers when trying to work a man. Farrell has taught many a young pitcter important wrinkles, and no doubt has helped even clever boys like Mercer and McJames.—Boston Globe. Boston has played nine games each this season with Baltimore and New York. In those eighteen games Boston's share of the money was not far from $10,000. With three more home games with New York and three at Baltimore, the club will take 350,000 out of these two series; that is, pro- viding the weather is fine when the next six games are played. This $50,000 will come pretty near paying the running ex- penses of the club for the year. Lexington Park, St. Paul, was the scene of another fight yesterday afternoon. San- dow Mcrtes of the Columbus team had made a hit, and was playing cff first, when Denzer threw the ball to catch him. He slid back to the bag feet first, and, it is al- leged, tried to spike Glasscock in the leg. The latter resented the act, and a flerce fight was on in two seconds. Several biows had been exchanged before Umpire Haskell could get between the belligerents. After a little talk, in which it was shown that Mertes was the aggressor, the latter was put out of the game and off of the grounds. It would, perhaps, do no good to print the names of the Philadelphia players charged with not behaving themselves as well as they should, but it would be unfair to men like Orth, Wheeler, Fifield, Boyle, Nesh, Delehanty, Cross and several others not to make the fact known that they have been doing their full duty to the club all season, and are not included among those now being watched by the club’s detec- tives.—Philadeiphia_ Ledger. This must mean that Lajoie, Cooley, Clements, Dowd, Tayior and a few others are having a bird of a time. In Pitcher McJames the Washington club has one of the most intelligent young men playing professional ball. McJames is the son of a Scuth Carolina doctor, and he has already spent two years at a medical school. “My home,” said he, “is only a shcrt distance from Charleston, 8.C., a town of 3,500- inhabitants. When I quit ball playing I suppose I will go home and fall into my father’s practice.” Unlike most of the young men from Tillman's s tion of the country, Jimmy McJames is a great admirer of the northern people. Charley Nichols is his idea of a ball player, and he says that the rough acts of Jack Doyle are caused by the imbedding of a Spalding ball in Jack’s brain.—Boston Globe. : SAW SOME GOOD SPORT. Annual Regatta of the Potomac Boat Club. ‘The annual regatta of the Potomac Boat Club was held last evening, and proved to be decidedly interesting to the club mem- bers and their friends, who gathered at the boathouse, at the foot of 3ist street, to witness the sport. The balconies of the clubhouse were lined with the fair friends of the club, while the male enthusiasts lined on the float. There were six events, and all were rowed. ‘There were several surprises, especially in the fours and the eights. The favorites failed to score, so to speak, while the iong shots won. The surprise began in the first race. The heavyweights were looked upon as winners, but the lightweights succeeded in beating them out by a good in. ‘The second ‘race was quite humorous. Dan- nenhower and Rowzee had the Virginia side, and before the start succeeded in catching several crabs. They were equally unfortunaie afterward and asa result fin- ished third in the race, being nearly a quar- ter of a mile behind the second crew. The winning boat crossed about five lengths ahead. In the junior four the “Fredericksburg crew” was looked upon as a winner. The third crew managed to steal almost a length at the start, but before the Aque- duct bridge was reached lost its lead. It, however, was pulling away from its op- ponents when the turn was made. The boys cut too close to the pier, and in an at- tempt to avoid a collision all turned to one side of the boat, capsizing the craft and losing all chances of victory. The other two kept on. Luck was with No. 1 crew, and it won by a splendid margin. In the Fredericksburg crew, Wheatley jumped his seat below the bridge, and in making the turn Eliason did most of the work, while only three oars worked on the last half. In the fourth race, that of single sculls, George Von Dachenhausen easily won from Capt. Warden, who has been in a shell only once or twice within the past ten years, By some it was termed a “selling race.” The race of the eights was extremely in- teresting, from the fact that the new crew succeeded in leaving the old crew by sev- eral lengths. The sixth race was between the light- welght four, the winners of the it race, and the’ junior fours, the winners of the third race. The juniors led in win- ning the race by several lengths, though it was entirely too dark to what was going on in the water. The start was not made until 7:40. : First race—Lightweights won; M.

The feature of the nationdl croquet tour- nament at Norwich, Conn., yesterday was the defeat of Sisson, the veteran"player, by Sackett Duryea of this city. The game is said to have been the most interesting ever played at Norwich. The games opened early with Professor Jacobus and Lawyer Apgar. The latter was a student years ago of the professor and showed the value of his tutorship by defeating him in twenty-seven minutes, winning the string. One ball was soon a rover. Then he started with the other ball, when the professor, making an excellent shot, captured the bails, but failed to make his arch, Apgar again took them, and the professor had no further opportunity. He made but one arch, which his opponent generously put him through. The next great game was that of Sisson vs. Duryea. Sisson captured the balls and quickly ran them rover, but In attempting to put them out he failed, getting a dead ball between his playing ball and the win- ning post. Duryea then made a wonder- ful shot across the grounds, hit a ball and gave Sisson but one more life. This was when Sisson jumped and captured them, but Duryea immediately recaptured them on a wonderful jump shet, and at once ran the game out. At present he looks a win- ner. Wahley, the crack Washington player, was easily beaten by Bird, the young Balti- more player. ‘The score: First Division. Won.

Davis Cleared of a Grave Aeccusation—General News. Evenirg Siar Bureau, No. 520 King Street. Bell Telephone No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., August 19, 1897. In the police court this morning Mayor Stimpson fined Richard Murphy $20 for car- rying concealed weapons. Murphy was on trial for an alleged attempt to hold up George W. Taylor at the corner of Wash- imgton and Wythe streets last Saturday night. Taylor, the complainant, was the first witness put on the stand. He said he was walking up Wythe street toward Wash- ington about midnight, when he was sur- prise@ by having a pistol thrust in his face. He at once put his hand in his pocket and pulled out his money, thinking his aszull- ant meant robbery. When he turned around to give up his cash he recognized Murphy, who, Taylor claimed, still held the — under his —. Taylor ee that e then grebbed the pisiol and a tus- sle. Murphy, he said, told him that he was going to kill him. Some one approaching, Taylor said, scared Murphy off. Taylor stated that Murphy did not ask for his money, and did rot take it when it was of- fered to him. He said that Murphy ap- proached him from behind. Dan Mason was the next witness. He stated that he had seen the difficulty; had seen Murphy with the pistol, but could not say that Murphy took or asked for any morey from Taylor. Mason said he heard Murphy call Taylor a deaf and dumb of ~ » and point the pistol in his face. William Simms and Max Berryman knew but little of the affair, while Offieer Atkin- son, who arrested Murphy, stated that Murphy admitted to him having the pistol, but denied attempting to kold up Taylor. ‘Murphy, when put on the stand in his own defense, denied any intention to as- sault or hold up Taylor. “I was walking up the street,” said Mur- phy, “when Taylor came running up. He wanted to know who some negroes were who were following, and I told nim if they were following me I could stop them, and at the same time pulled out my revolver and showed it to Taylor.” . He said he had no idea of robbing any- body. Mayor Simpson, in summing up, confined the case to the matter of carrying con- cealed weapons, as there was no evidence to show any attempt at robbery. Captain George A. Mushback represented Murphy, and Commonwealth’s Attorney Marbury looked after the prosecution. Fell From Sccond Story. Yesterday afternoon little James Rose, aged four years, son of Mr. William Rose, who clerks in the Family Shoe Store in Washington, fell from a second-story win- dow of Mr. Rose’s residence, No. 220 North Fairfax street, and sustained serious in- juries that may result fatally. The little one was attended by Drs. Smith, Purvis and Jones.

Many Spanish Soldiers Wounded in Attack om Insurgents. The Havana correspondent of the New York Herald sends the following: Heavy fighting ts again going on near Ma- @ruga. During the last three days many wounded Spanish soldiers have been waken to that town and Guines. Rebel Chiefs Al- exander, Rodriguez and Paul Arango are intrenched in a strong position in the Grillo hills. The position occupied by the rebel8 is a particularly strong one. It is similar to the position held by Maceo in the Cacaragicara mountains in Pinar del Rio, where he so successfully held out against Inclan and Frances. The rebel position in the Grillo hills is only approachable by a narrow pass. It is impossible for Spaniards to use artillery with any effect. Several times, I am in- formed, they have attempted to force tho pass, but each attempt was a failure. Rodriguez has plenty of ammunition, ant his men are armed with rapid-fire guns In fact, the insurgents had fortified their posi- tion with a view to just such a siege as they are now undergoing. One hundred wounded men of the Reina battalion were taken to Madruga yesterday. Heavy reinforcements have been sent to the front. In a charge of half an hour, it is sald, the Spaniards lost 200 men. ‘It is ble that the rebels may abandon their tion and retire to Tapastl.

Rebels have entered and pillaged the town of Trinidad, in Santa Clara. Colonel Jan- quatot, who was in command of the Span- ish forces in the district, has been deprived of his command and sentenced to one month's imprisonment. a Possibly Intended to Kill. James McCab, a resident of South Capi- tol and R streets, had an unpleasant expe- ricnce last night about 12 o'clock while on his way home. He was a short distance from his residence, when ke met a colored man, and the two men soon engaged in conversation. A row followed, and the col- ored man struck McCabe on the head with a stone. McCabe's head was severciy cut and he was taken to the Washington Asy- lum Hospital by the police. This morning atout 2 o'clock Policeman Stewart a “i David Johnson Mc- Cabe's assailant. and charged him with as- sault with intent to kill. Johnson was locked up to await the result of McCaly injuries. Vice Rector Garrigan of the Catholic University of America gave a dinner today in honor of Archbishop Keane.

DEATH AT HIS ANVIL. The blacksmith usually looked upon as the ideal of robust health. This is fre- quently the case, but nevertheless he is subject to the same ills that afflict other men, and owing to the arduous nature of his toil, the re- sults of bilious attacks or indigestion are likely to be even more serious and speedy than in the case of men who lead sedentary lives. The harder a man works, whether at the anvil, or bench or plow handle, the more important is the necessity for a care- ful watchfulness over health. When a hardworking man finds that his liver is torpid or his digestion bad, he can save himself much discomfort, and possibly a serious sickness, by resorting af once to Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Di: > The man who does this will always go to his work and come from it, whistling.
