Timothy Hurley, the plasterer charged with having used a base ball bat on Thomas Gorham’s head, the 6th of July, is no longer a fugitive from justice. Sergeant Jordan and Peliceman O'Dea caused his arrest in Maryland this morning, and he is now locked up here for a hearing. Dorsey Foultz, the murderer, and Walter Pickett, who used a razor on five victims at a “par- lor social,” are now the only second pre- cinct offenders whose whereabouts are un- known. Some other precincts are not with- | ( ss out fugiiives on their lists. The trouble between Hurley and Gorham, the latter being colored, took place on a lot near North Capitol street and New York avenue, the question at issue being whether the colored men who were in pos- session of the grounds should rerhain, or whether they should move away for Hur- ley and his friends. A blow across the face with the bat came near Killing the colored base ball player, and he was dis- abled for several weeks. Sergeant Jordan and Polizeman O'Dea yesterday learned that Hurley was at work in a new house on the Marlboro’ road, more than a mile beyond Suitiand. In- spector Mattingly was consulted, and, upon his advice, the officers concluded to make an effort today to apprehend Hurley. Deputy Sheriff Suit was found, and he went to the house, while the Washington ofticers remained outside on the edge of the woods.

Superior Crop of Cotton Seed Valued at $50,000. Wi. J. Lamar of Macon, called at the Department of Agriculture today to learn whether the department had some cotton seed of a peculiar variety or if some could be procured. The seed of which he made inquiry is from Africe, ard the plants springing from it grow to seven or eight feet in height and have no limbs, thereby affording the grower opportunity to plant the cotton much closer together than is usually the case. T. A. Jackson of near Atlanta, G: raised six acres of the variety M asked about, and offered the see the crop to the Secretary of Agriculiure for $50,000, but the offe: ccepted, as Secretary Wilson idered the price too high, and there was not sufiicient ap- propriation to pay for it if the other had not been the case. The department has no seed of the kind, but an effort will be made w obtain a sup- ply. iss Eugenie De Land of Le Droit Park has just been admitted to the Drexel In- stitute at Philadelphia as a member of the illustrating class of the art department, the result of a sharp competitive examina- tion.

A special program has been arranged for the occasion, and it is expected that the ceremonies will be attended by a large number of persons. Many prominent Ma- soas will take part in the exercises.

GOLFING GROUNDS, Wheaton, IIL, September 18.—Bright,cool weather brought an unusually large number of spectators to the annual amateur championship series of the United States, which was to be decided today. All conditions were favorable, the rain that had fallen recently making the links almost beyond criticism. The con- test was thirty-six holes play, one round in the forenoon and one In the afternoon. ‘The general opimion before the play began was that Whigham would get the medal, though in the event of his being very much cff in his form, as some times happens, the steady game and cool nerve of Betts was believed to give the latter a fine chance. The younger man had tremendous odds to play against. The sympathy of the spectators was naturally almost entirely with the western player. ———— Mayor Phelan Insues 2 Warning.
