MORE PLAYERS ARRIVE. Too Cool at National Park This Morning for Practice. “Zeke” Wrigley arrived in Washington yesterday afternoon, and “Jim” McGutre, accompanied by his wife, reached the city last night about 10 o'clock. These two pleyers increased the gathering of Senators at National Park this morning, but the weather was too cool for practice and the time was passed away telling stories of w:nter experiences. McGuire is the picture of health, es a result of spending a couple of weeks at Mount Clemens, Mich., his weight being considerable under the fig- ures at which he has reported in the spring for many years. “Mac” made every en- deaver to reach Washington on St. Pat- rick’s day, for good luck, but he got tied up out in Ohio behind a wreck and had to pass Wednesday night in Buffalo. He had two hours to spare on the lucky day, and takes this as an omen of success for the Senators the coming season. McGuire is aiways Lackward about expressing an opin- ien sbout players or clubs, but when ques- tioned admitted that the Washington club has all the earmarks of being stronger this year than last. Wrigley is also the pictcre of good heaith, being down to playing weight and as chip- per as ever. “Zeke” says he has been in training for the past month, especially from a batter's position, and believes he will be eble to do better work with the stick than ever. Neither of the3e men have signed con- tracts yet, or, for that matter, no one has signed outside of Capt. Brown and Mercer, as Treasurer Darl Wagner did not arrive in Washingtcn yesterday, as expected, and it is not thought that he will be here before Menday. When Wagner arrives it is ex- pected that he will have some definite news to give out regarding Jack Doyle, as it was reported out at the grounds this morning that the latter had taken a flying trip to Philadelphia last Wednesday. A majority of the players will have ar- rived by next Monday, and Mr. Wagner will be on hand with a big roll of money to talk business with the boys. It is to be hoped that satisfactory arrangements will be quickly arrived everybody can get task of the year.

Authorization Given by Stockholders im Annual Meeting—Plant to Be Remodeled and Extended. A circular has been received by the stock- helders of the United States Electric Light- ing Company, announcing that the board of directors has directed the issue of c2rtifi- cates of indebtedness of the company to the amount of $350,000. This action, it is stated in the circular, is in accordance with the regolutions adopted at the annual mzeting of the stockholders, held Novem- ber 10, last, which authorizes and directs the board of directors “to remodel and ex- tend the present plant and service accord- ing to the tatest and most approved elzctri- cal practice, considering also, at the same time, the future reeds and growth of the company.” The resolutions further stipulate that “the outside system of distribution of cur- rent should be of the same efficiency as the new power plant in economy of operation.” Some time ago. an issue of $300,000 in 6 per cent debenture bonds was made, and with the proceeds, it is understood, the company is now erecting the new power house, with modern improvements. Purpose in View. It is explained that the purpose of this issue of certificates is te renew the exist- ing conduits as far as may be necessary, and to extend the system of underground wires throughout the city as authority may be obtained from Congress. As has already been stated in The Star, the District appropriation bill gives the company authority to make certain exten- sions in the city, while a bill now pending allows the company to extend the conduits beneath any or all of the even numbered streets in the city of Washington, while to the Potomac company is given the same privilege as to all the odd numbered streets, with the right to each company to make house connections, Further Privileges Conferred. The District appropriation further gives the privilege to any company having the right tc occupy the streets of the city with conduits to construct overhead electric lives outside of the fire limits. ‘The certificates propcsed to be issued by me oJ. 3S. Electric Lighting Company will be dated April 1 next, ed will mature in ter years. They will bear 6 per cent in- terest, and stockholders are given the priv- ilege to subscribe. While no limit is placed on the smount of the subseriptions of stockholders, it is stated in the circular that the board of directors reserves the right to pro rate any over subscription.

A young man named John Flaherty, who was put under bond in the Police Court last month when arrested for intemper- ance, was in court again today on the same charge. The complaint was that he had been found under the influence of liquor several times on Pennsylvania avenue be- tween 3d and 4% streets. Judge Kimball referred to the numerous saloons :n this square, | and characterized the place as “rum row.” Flaherty was sentenced to give security. wethe sum of $100 or go down for sixty eys. ee Complaint was made to the police yes- terday that house No. 309 Spruce street, Le Droit Park, hed been robbed of lead pipe fixtures. The theft was committed by two unknown colored boys. be called upon to aid in its accomplish- ment. A feature in tomorrow’s paper that will be highly appreciated by the women of Washington is an article on spring mil- linery that is decidedly out of the ordinary. It will be handsomely fillustrated with eight designs furnished by the leading milliners of Paris, who may be said to set the fash- ions in -women’s hats and bonnets for all the world. The marked hold that army and navy matters have upon ‘the popular mind just now gives added value to several articles on various phases of life in the two branches of Uncle Sam's service. For the benefit of those who are fond of outdoor sports The Star tomorrow will have several bright and newsy chapters on bicycling and the outlook for the base ball season, which is now s0 near at hand. The high average of fiction which The Star has maintained for so long will not be allowed to fall in the least, for, in addi- tion to the regular installment of Rider Haggard’s serial, “Elissa,” there will be a capital piece of short fiction, entitled “Gay- lord of the West.” This is a charming story of: love and hard luck. It is an American story, a present-day courtship, with present-day incidents. It is told in an easy, natural, flowing style; the situations are strong and the dramatic movement is well maintained until the final happy scene is reached. Among other interesting features may be mentioned the following: PANAMA’S BIG DITCH (illustrated). It has cost a quarter of a million dollars and is not half done yet; a description of a trip along the canal by Frank G. Carpenter. WE NEED THEM BADLY (illustrated).

HYATTSVILLE, Md., March 18, 1898. Another bold safe .rgbbery was perpe- trated here last night or at an early hour this morning. The burglars chose th ticket office of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company as their, place of opera- tion. They forced open the safe ang se- cured about $100 in currency, part of which belonged to the railroad and part to the express company. Two watches, the prop- erty of Mr. P. M. Leakin, the station agent, two rings and an éxpress package containing a diamond ring were also taken. As yet not the slightest clue as to the burglars has beem obtained. Joseph Scaggs, the gateman at the cross-|! ing, was‘‘the first to Wiscdver that q rob- bery had been commited.’ Shortly before 6 o’eleck this morning, while on his way to the watch box, he passeé by the station. a was surprised to find the front door of aiting room ‘hjat.” Suspecting some- Pitted) Wrong he made a hurried investiga- tion... The door of the ticket office was also discovered to be-open, and the room in_great.confusion. Scaggs immediately notified the agent, Mr. P. M. Leakin, who hurried to the sta- tion, Half-opened :expreas. packages, rail- road tickets and divers others papers were scattered on the floor and upon the tables in the ticket office. The door of the safe w.s8 inthe middle of the room, cracked and,bent.out of all shape. In a corner of the room lay the iron casing to the safe door, broken into several:pieces. Parts of the lock were scattered here and there among the fragments of concrete, which formed tne inner lining of the safe. Near the door was a heavy sledge hammer, a screw driver ncarly two fect long, a small cold chisel and a small brace. Some’ of tkese tools have been identified as the property of the railrcad company, and it is probable that they were taken from one ef the tool boxes in the neighborhood. The cafe itself was’ empty of all valuables pee the money drawer rified of its con- ents of small coins,..Under the station piatform, fronting on the Baltimore and Washing® yn pike, were found a number of receipts and an account book taken from the office, and part of the inner wood work of the ssfe. The burglars had difficulty in forcing open the door to the waiting room, the jamb being greatly damaged where the crowbar was inserted. All the windows also show the print of the chisel. An old- fashioned brace was found on one of the seats in front of the station. The hole in the safe door, by means of which the dynamite was applied, is five- eighths of an inch and is neatly bored. B. F. Chin, a colored barber, who lives on the pike some 200 yards from the sta- tion, states that about 2:30 this morning he heard a loud explosion. Half an hour later he heard another report. He arose and went to the window, but the town seemed quiet, and he could see no one moving along the streets. A colored.boy named Clarke declared that seme time between 2 and 3 o'clock this morning, he heard the sound of rapid foot steps in’ front of his house, which is on a lane leading from the pike to the Alexandria branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Clarke states that there seemed to be two or three present. No one living immédiately opposite the station, however, heard any report or un- usual noises. The affair has created con- siderable excitement in the community, it being the second robbery of the kind dur- ing the present year.
