Police Question the Right to Use a Temporary Tramway—General and Personal News. the skin made druggists, The hunt for Dorsey Foultz, the mur- derer, still continues. Last evening Police- mar Bradley of the county mounted force received word that the negro had applied to a contractor near Chevy Chase for work and was employed as a laborer. He inves- tigated the matter, but found no truth in it. A negro, the color of Foultz, had se- cured a job, and this gave rise to the ru- mor. The search in the woods bordering Grant road is still being made by the po- lice, but it is quite likely that Foultz, if he ever hid in the place, is safely out of reach. drawings submitted by competitors at some suitable place, where they can be viewed by the public. This will give every one an opportunity to judge of the relative merits of the drawings. The examination for the position of supervising architect is attracting much attention throughout the country, ‘and the papers in the case are regarded with great interest. The examination in this city will be held on the 10th instant. The relative factors in the examination, in all amounting to twenty points, follow: Education, training and technical experi- ence, 6; administration—Practical experi- ence in designing and construction, 6: thesis relative to designing and constr tion, 1; thesis relative to office administra- tion, 1; practical competitive tests—scheme of competition for a public building, 3; criticism of designs, 3. Under the above heads the following questions will be asked: Give a statement detail of your gen- eral and technical education and training. State your practical experience in the vari- ous branches and details of architectural work. State by whom, when, where, and for what length of time you were employed and the nature of the work performed by you in each case. State your experience in designing architectural work. State your experience as a superintendent of con- struction. State your experience in the general management of architectural! work. What buildings have been designed by you? What buildings have been constructed un- der your supervision? In connection with each of these buildings give the name of the building or the name of owner, and if not designed by you, the name of the archi- tect.. The city and state in which located, together with location in the city. The materials of which constructed. Any spe- cial difficulties encountered in the Course of its construction. The general character of the building or the use for which con- structed. The size, that is, the approximate dmensions. The style of architecture. When commenced and when completed. The names of at least two trustworthy per- sons who have a knowledge of your work in connection with each building. Competitors are asked as far as practi- cable to submit with this examination drawings and photegraphs, or other suit- able illustrations, of the buildings referred to. The material thus submitted will be returned to competitors after the ratings have. been, determined. Competitors are asked to write a. thesis of not less than 1,000 words, giving in detail their views as to the most appropriate styles of architecture for public buildings, and the most economical methods of con- structing them; and also stating the advan- tages or disadvantages of securing the de- signs fcr public buildings by competition ameng American architects, and the ad- vantages or disadvantages of having such designs prepared in the office of the super- vising arcnitect of the treasury; also thesis of not less than 1,000 words making a full statement of their experience in supervis- ing and directing the architectural office and field work of subordinates or assist- ants. and giving their views as to the general administrative policy which should be pursued in successfully carrying on the work of a supervising architect, especially the work of the supervising architect of the Treasury Department. Each competitor will also be required to prepare a scheme of competition for a pub- lic building, and to a criticism of designs for a public building. THE INJUNCTION PERMANENT. Messrs. Weiss & Buckler Restrained From Manufacturing “Castoria.” The Centaur Company of New York, the manufacturers of Castoria, today se- cured from Justice Cox, sitting in the Equity Court, an order continuing the pre- liminary injunction granted by him several days ago in the suit instituted by the New York company against Conrad H. Weiss and George Buckler, doing business here as the Anacostia Drug Company. The Centaur Company, as stated in The Trouble Over a Permit. There appears to have been a good deal of misunderstanding regarding a small temporary railroad track which runs across Water street from Gilbert's stone crusher, just east of the Aqueduct bridge, to the river front. The hand-cars which are used on the track are filled with broken stone, which is dumped into a large scow lying im the river, the material being used. for the iraprovements at Fort Washington. A permit to lay the track was secured some weeks ago, and it was put in place. The Folice entertained the opinion that the per- mit had been revoked, and caused more or less trouble. The matter has been finally settled, and the track is still used to haul the stone from the crusher to the wharf. Overcome by Heat. Andrew Thomas, a colored man, who was employed in grading the roadway in a por- tion ef the Cleveland Park subdivision, was overcome by the heat shortly before 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The police Were notified, and the patrol wagon carried the gnan to Feedmen’s Hospital, where medital attention was given. Two Arrests Made. Thomas E. Fletcher, a twelve-year-old colored boy, was arrested yesterday after- noon by Policeman Harry, who caught the lad in the act of stealing a newspaper from the residence of Mr. Samuel C. Ander- son. 2 Eli Rickett, colored, aged fifty-seven years, was later arrested by the same po- iiceman cn the charge of stealing a wagon, valued at $15, which was recovered. General and Personal. Mr. Ed. Moriarity and his friend William H. Spates have gone to Vernon, Conn., for a stay of three weeks or a month. Messrs. James Keliher, Joseph Daley and C. R. Murray are at Atlantic City. The many friends of Mr. Jake Kengla will be glad to learn that he is recovering from his recent stroke of paralysis. The District government is making some needed repairs on the Grant road. A cob- blestone gutter and curbing is being laid on the north side, and the roadway Is receiv- ing some attention. Quite a number of telegraph poles are being erected on the Tenleytown road, near Georgetown. —_— Hotel Arrtvatn. Raleigh—H. C. Townsend, New York: M. E.

The Colonels are a weak-Ditting + aggregation, and when they go against first-class pitch- ing this weakress is displayed, with marked distinctiveness. Clarke and Wilson were the only playérs that found McJames more than once, the hits of:Nance-and Clingman being of the lucky order, while nine of the Colonels hit nothing but wind. Jimmy was hike the nice little girl again yesterday, and of course that means that ‘he was very, very good. His quick bending ball was the puzzle, but the Coloneis need not worry over their poor showing, as McJames has worried the best of them this season when in good shape. Magee did the twirligg for the Louisvilles, and the hits that wel made off of his de- livery came in spots, the second inning giv- ing the home club three runs as the result of a couple of hits and a disastrous crror, but in the eighth there was no fluke about the hitting... Four rung came over the plate and they were all‘¢arned, two singles being followed with a trip’and_a.home run.

In the eighth the Senators scored four runs and coppered the game in this way: Brown singled to center, his second hit, stole sec- ond, and DeMont brought him over the rub- ber with a pretty single to right that al- most bored a hole through Smith, who tried to intercept it. Farrell then caught an out curve on the end of his bat and away it went to the left field fence, bounding be- hind the signs, and when returned by Clarke Charley “was .anchored on third. Gettman then pushed a corking single into right, but it bounded over Nance’s head, and as the right fielder hadn't touched it, the shifty Senator turned it into a home run. This closed the run getting, the Sena- tors not taking their last turn at the bat. Umpire Emslie was seriously injured by a foul tip that struck him on the left leg, just below the knee cap. He had to retire, John Heydier, the local arbitrator, officia ing for the remainder of the game, and giv- ing satisfaction to both clubs. WASHINGTON.

Through the courtesy of President Robinson of the Clevelands, this has been made a “special” ladies’ day. Emslie’s injury will keep him out of the game for some time and handicaps Presi- dent Young considerably, as it is late in the season to introduce new men. Wrigley’s brother died yesterday morn- ing at the family home in Philadelphia, but the little shortstop went into the game for fear his absence would handicap the club. Zeke will be out of the game for the rest of the week, DeMont going to short and Leahy to second. Private advices from Cleveland say that the X rays were tried on the injured foot of Sockalexis and showed that the joints at the ankle were becoming rigid and may disable the Indian permanently. Sox says he is going home to study for a physician's certificate, and has tabooed Hquor for the rest of his life. A pretty nurse in the hos- pital at Cleveland has captured the heart of the noble red mag and he has showered her with flowers and boxes of candy, but as yet the pretty one has failed to recip- rocate his affection. Should Sockalexis be permanently injured, it will break up the expected great outfield of next year, Deie- hanty, Burkett and the Indian. The New York aggregation may be a little shy on fielding, but when it comes to hit- ting and hitting hard the Joyceites are al- most in a class by themselves. Four home runs, a triple and two doubles, not to men- tion the singles, was their record on the day at the Polo grounds yesterday. Magnate Freedman of the New Yorks ar- rived home yesterday from Europe, and one of the New York papers this morning has a column interview with him, the substance of which is a roast of the umpires and a dab at the Cincinnatis for dirty bali play- ing. Joyce, Tebeau and Anson have in- dorsed the work of the umpires this season, and when it comes down to dirty ball play- ing the Giants havé not been backward in this particular. Freedman talks as if he owns the league, and speaks of what he will do, when in fact he may be turned down at the next meeting, as he was at the last. ‘The fans at National Park have aban- doned their custom of rising for luck when Washington goes to bat in the sev- enth inning, but that fact has not seemed to deprive the old-time lucky number of all its properties as a mascot for the Senators. Yesterday's game was a climax in a most curious series of coincidences. It was the seventh game of the series with Louisville on the home grounds. It lifted Washington into seventh place. It was played Septem- ber 7. It was the fourth successive game with Louisville in which Washington scored seven runs. Here are the scores of the four games just closed: First game, Wash- ington, 7; Louisville 7. Second game, Washington, 7; Louisville, 5. Third game, Washington, 7; Louisville, 3. Fourth game, Washington, 7; Louisville, 1. Thus in the series Louisville continued to drop two runs in each game, while Washington kept hammering away at the lucky seven. And it is of further interest that the best | Louisville could do at the bat in the last game was seven hits. The Clevelands are accused of being the pioneers of “dirty ball.” Several teams now can discount Tebeau’s men at their own game. The Cincinnati players claim that in every city in the country, Cincinnati ex- cepted, scoring is conducted on a liberal basis, while in Cincinnati the scribes take great pains not to violate any of the rules of scoring. Billy Hamilton, if he only had the proper ambition, could be even better than he is, Billy has a queer disposition. Sometimes he acts as if he is sulking. It has been said of Hamilton that if he does not get a hit or to first base the first time up in a game he will not play his best ball. First-Baseman Deyle is provoked about a squib in a sportirg paper, which says: “First-Baseman Doyle 1: id to be unable to agree with his team-mates at Baltimore, and even disputes Manager Hanign’s au- thority. Therefore, Manager Hanlon is anxious to trade him off.” Manager Han- lon says there is absolutely no truth in the statement, and he is angry because it is copied in other papers. He says Doyle's relations with the other members of the club are pleasant, he is always ready to obey orders, no man on the team works harder to win and he fits into the team nicely._Baltimore Sun The Life picked the wrorg men. McGraw is the one in- tended, and it’s a 100 to 1 bet he will not be with the Orioles next year. A special from Philadelphia says thi Tebeau was asked about the story that he intended to trade Shortstop McKean and Catcher O'Connor for Delehanty and Cross. “You can say for me,” said Tebeau, “thet there is not an atom of truth in this, for we do not contemplate any such deal. In the first place, O'Connor is more valuable to me than both the other men. And I reed him too badly to let him go. Then, again, I would be foolish to let McKean go, for he has no superior as a shortstop. It is true he has done very little hitting this season, but every man has his off year, and I can’t expect a player to hit all the time. We do need an outfielder, and I must try to get one, but not on such terms.” Tebeau then talked about the cry of “hard luck” being sent up by the various teams, and said: “The clubs that are talk- ing about hard luck should experience our luck and then they would have cause to complain. I do not want the public to think that I am kicking at our misfor- tunes, but they have come in bunches. Sockalexis went on a big spree. McAleer quit the team because one of the Cleveland papers roasted him, and Cuppy has been on the hospital.list for nearly a month. If these players had been all right we would have won a dozen mor es."* “I haven't the slightest uSé “for Freed man of the New Yorks,” said~ wells} known president of a base Ball“ club to Weldon of the Cincinnati BPaquirer '' other day. “I don’t like him persoually,’ and I detest his methods. yet after all 4 strikes me that his system is'tHe: best one... He knows no such thing as sentiment. . Ho looks at the business like he was hundling £0 much coffee and sugar instead of deal- -ing with human beings. He doesn’t know one from another. He is strict, arbitrary and dictatorial. He kvows nobody but him- self. He makes the ball players stand arourd with a sharp stick, and ere browbeaten and bullied worse than these of any team in the league. Yet rec- ords show that they work harder for a ball team will practice at Chevy Chase is believed by many persons. The students who are now at Chevy Chase Inn are only those who will try for positions behind the line. Even when the practice in this city is over none of the players who have been practicing is sure of a position on the team. The candidates now here number seven and two more are expected today, making nine men who will try for one of the four Positions. In fact, two of the men in the city were on the team of last year and they can be almost sure of securing a place this year. The party now at Chevy Chase Inn consists of C. A. H. De Saulles of South Bethlehem, Pa; H. F. Benjamin of New York, G.-S. Chauncy of Brooklyn, C. E. Sullivan of Cleveland, M. L. McBride of Cleveland, Alfred H. Hine of New Haven and M. U. Ely of Brooklyn. The last named arrived in the city yesterday morn- ing, while the others came in Monday night. Of the men Hine played left half back on the team last season, and Benjamin played right back. The other men will struggle for the positions of quarter and full back. George Sheldon of Greenwich, Conn., who with Ware won the championship in ten- nis doubles this summer at Newport, and W. B. Connor of New Albany, N. Y., who last year played left end on the team, are two more men expected to arrive, making nine men in all. The players came to the city under orders from the management of athletics at the university, and they will remain two weeks. The sole object was to secure the services of Frank Butterworth of this city, one of the greatest full backs that ever played the game. The practice began yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock, and those who ex- pected to see a regular foot ball game were disappointed. The practice work was con- ducted out on the lawn in front of the inn, where the land is level enough for the pur- pose. The work will consist merely in pass- ing the pigskin and in kicking, getting the players to be as quick and as active as possible, and also to be accurate in their work. Through some delay in the sending of the material, the unifcrms and foot balls did not arrive yesterday from New York, us Was expected. Rather than lose any time, a foot ball was bought in the city yesterday and carried out to the inn. This morning, at 10 o'clock, the players were at work again, while this afternoon additional time will be devoted for practice. The work lasts from an hour to an hour and a half at a time. The practice becomes hard work, and would be much more pleasant if the weather were only a few degrees cooler. A Star reporter had a talk with Mr. Benjamin about the prospects of the foot ball team cf the university this season, and he expressed confidence in being able to Secure as good a team this year as the ‘varsity ever had. Out of the team of last year there will be only four men who will mest likely play this year. They are Capt. Rogers, as usual, Connor, Hine and Benjamin. “Capt. Rogers, you know,” sald Mr. Benjamin, “is just recovering from a severe attack of illness, and I have just received word from him that he is rapidly getting better, and expects to be out on the field again in a short while. We will spend a little less than a fortnight here, and then go to New Haven, September 20, and com- mence regular training. While we are in Washington practicing, our training work does not really commence. The men are dieting themselves and getting in condi- tion, but the real work will commence at New Haven. “Ther? will be something like forty can- didates for positions on the team this year, and Capt. Rogers will have his hands full in attending to them. He will practically select the team for the university, and those members who fail to qualify will sccure positions on the scrub teams of the place and afford practice work for the lead team.” When asked if Mr. Butterworth would visit New Haven and ccach the team Mr. Benjamin replied that while he would not go back with them, he would very likely visit the team later in the season, and spend some time in coaching the | boy Judging by the time in which the students remained at the tabie yesterday, they must all have excellent appetites, a sure indica. jsticn of health. The light work which will be made in this city will only serve to get the men in condition for the team practice work later in the month. Several Jockeys and Trainers Have Formed an Association. The members of the Horsemen's Pro- tective Association met yesterday at the Sheepshead Bay track in order to complete their organization. The articles of incor- poration, carrying the names of Wyndham Walden, Frederick Taral, Samuel Doggett, Matthew Allen, Walter C. Rollins, James H. McCormick, William Lakeland and John J. Hyland as incorporators, had been ap- proved by Supreme Court Justice Maddox, and certificates had been filed with the proper officials. The objects of the corporation, as stated in the articles, are “the fostering and pro- tection of the interests of horse owners and of duly licensed trainers and jockey the improvement of the breed of thorough: bred horses through the medium of trials of speed and otherwise, the settling of dif- ferences between members, and the pro- moting of more enlarged and friendly i tercourse among all classes in the business of owning, training, racing or riding thor- oughbred horses.” "* It was announced that the association Proposed to work in entire harmony with the jockey club and the several racing as- sociations.

After the meeting several of the members talked in a way which indicated that the promises of general harmony were not in keeping with the views of those who had lent their aid to the movement. It is probable that “requests” from the association will be frequent. The jockey club will be asked to do away with the 1 per cent assessment on all stake money ang to abolish the system of guaranteed stakes, Te at Hyattsville.

Admiral Sicard’s squadron is not large, comprising only eight ships, but these are as fine vessels of their class as found in any navy, and, small as is, it is felt that it already constitutes a most formidable weapon for defense. The department desired to gather the ironclads in one fleet which might be ma- neuvered in battle tactics unincumbered with unarmored cruisers, which in actual battle probably would be sent to the rear, or in case retreat was impossible would be taken under the protection of the iron- clads, As the latter are expected to bear the brunt of the fighting, it was Admiral Sic- ard’s idea to ascertain just what they were capable of, how they steered and withstood the sea, and then to train the personnel of the ships, so that by signal the could act as one ship in attack or defense. All the vessels of the squadron, with two exceptions, are regular battle, ships, and these two, the New York and the Brooklyn, are cru: » SO well protected with armor belts and protective decks and superior speed that they would make a ve Ty good showing even against a battle shiv. The other vessels of the squadron are the Towa, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maine, Texas and Puritan. Since last Friday they have been lying on what is known as the southern drill grounds, about forty or fifty miles east of the Chesapeake capes, and far ough from the usual line of traffic to avoid the risk of disabling some coasting vessel by a chance shot from one of the big guns. — Pe GROVER CLEVELAND'S W ‘TH. Estimates His Property in New Jersey at £150,000, A special to the Philadelphia Times from Trenton, N. J., says: Ex-President Grover Cleveland nearly petrified with astonish- ment the county board of freeholders to- day. The board met to adjust the county and municipal tax assessments. The mem- ber from Princeton exhibited the return dlank executed by Mr. Cleveland, on which the ex-President acknowledges that «he real value of his new home is $20,000; per- sonal property. $130,000, making all. Mr. Cleveland appen the figures given were as near as he could arrive at, considering the fluctuation of values in securities at present. There is an increase of oe million dol- lars in the ratables of the county, and $300,- 0v0 of this is in Princeton township, while one-half of the latter comes through the advent of Mr. Cleveland in the county, oo —__ RECOVERED. MAY BE Guns Broke Loose on Shipboard and Wrecked the Vessel. Official information has reached the War Department of the loss of several guns in- tended for the battery at Fort Tytee, Ga., by the wreck of the schooner Agnes L Grace near that point Sunday mornjng. The spot has been buoyed, and it is hoped that the guns will be recovered. There is apparently a divided responsi- bility in this matter. The guns are made by the ordnance department, and are turn- ed over to the quartermaster’s department for transportation to their destination, upon reaching which they are turned over to.the engineer department for mounting in the emplacements, after which they are fingliy placed in the custody of the ordnance de- partment for care and operation. These guns cost about $12,000 each un- mounted, and it is said that the transporta- tion company was undoubtedly required to guarantee their safe delivery. If they didn’t go down in deep water or are not buried in the sand they will probably be recovered. In any event there will be no delay in the equipment of the battery at Fort Tybee, for the reason that the govern- ment has a reserve supply of the rifles of the character intended for that point. ~ Alaska!
