Anderson, the ex- dodger, occupied a most prominent part in the game, and, more than any other !ocal player, was responsible for the victory of Lis men. Evans and Miller were the op- posing twirlers and each pitched good ball. The former gave but two passes, and each Miller gave five passes, but they did not figure in the run-getting. Selbach and Gettman gave a ‘ine exhibition of fielding, the latter robbing Tucker out of a homer in the eighth inning, and Sel- bach doing Shindle a like injury in the sixth, when a man was on third with two out. Each catch was made after a lorg run. Wrigiey accepted every chance, eight, and Anderson played ‘irst perfectly, a one- hand catch in the second inning of Wrig- ley’s throw being a feature. Myers did not have a chance. ‘The visitors made one run in the first in- ning, @ pass to Jones, a wild pitch and Tecker'’s single to left center doing the trick. Neither side scored egain unill te lest half of the fifth inning, wher the Sen- aters tied the game. Selbach safely bunted toward third, went to third on Gettman’s single to right and scored on Anderson's out at first from Magoon. Hach team scered in the seventh with two out. Mil- ler's grounder was missed by Reitz, a pass put him on second, from whence he scored on Jones’ single to center. The Senators did better in their half of the inning, send- ing two men across the plate. Evans sin- gled past third, went to second on Sel- becb’s sacrifice, to third on Gettman’s out at first from Hallman and home on Ander- son's single past short. Anderson cleverly stole second, and by starting at the right moment, scored on Magoon’s fumble of Mc- Guire’s hard hit. In the eighth inning the Washington people put one mora run to their credit. Wagner reached first on Ma- gcon’s wide throw. Myer’s sacrifice bunt placed him on second, and a buat by Wrig- A third bunt by Byans was fielded by the pitcher to sec- ord in time to force Wrigley, but Wagner scored on the play, Hailiman's return of the bell arriving at the plave a trifle 00 lute. It was the finest exh{bition of sacrifice hit- ting perhaps ever seen on the home grounds, and Capt. McGuire showed great generaiship in the matter. re: Brooklyn. B.H.0.A.E. Washington.

John Heydler, who has been recognized as one of ihe most conscientious and accur- ate umpires on the National League staff, has resigned his position, owing to the vigorous protest made against his decisions at New York by President Freedman. The New Yorks have been steadily losing for a long time and seem booked for the second division. Base Ball Notes. ‘The Senators rested today. It was ladies’ day, but the threatening weather reduced the attendance. During the first inning it seemed as if Byvans would zot do, but after that he was all right. When Gettman, by a fast run and splen- did judgmeat, hung on to Tucker's terrific drive in the elghth inning Tommy was the worst disappointed man on the grounds. Anderson seems equally at home on first, and allowed nothing to get away from him, that one-hand catch of Wrigley’s throw being little short of wonderful. Had that drive of Shindle’s in the sixth irning touched the ground instead of falling into Selbach’s hands it would have bounded over the hospital fence, and two runs would have resulted. Just where Anderson's reputed slowness comes in is not apparent to people who have watched his playing here. On tha contrary, the impression here is that he {s wonderfully fast on his feet and displays fine judgment in stealing. + Dr. Pond, recently upon the Baltimore twirling staff, ias been appointed assistant surgeon tn the army and ordered to report at Fort Myer. Pond will pitch one of the games tomorrow, and Hanion was tninking seriousiy of signing him again.

P. Carr, thé cotoner of the Dis- ertrict, today submitted ‘to Commissioner Wight his report for*the year ending June 30, 1898. :" ‘The total number of cases investigated by the coroner during the year was 639, an increase of 58, or 10 per cent, over the previous year. In this connection Dr. Carr says it is interesting to note that while the number of deaths from natural causes was 10 per cent less than in the previous year the number of violent deaths was 60 per cent greater, the number of suicides nearly 100 per cent greater and the num- ber of homicides ®) per cent greater. Of the 639 cases Investigated by the coro- ner, 272 were of deaths from natural causes, 65 of this numb2r having been due to heart disease. Of the 232 deaths from violence, there were due to accidental injuries, 69; steam railway, 14; street railway, 7; burns, 18; drowning, 39; electric shock, 1, and gun- shot wounds, 3. Accidental poisoning, 11— 4 from opium, and 1 each from ly2, toad- stools, gas, alcohol, phenacetin, cocaine and chloral. Sufcides, 53—15 by ‘shooting, 9 by hanging, T by drowning, 4 by cutting the throat, 3 by jumping, 2 by inhaling gas, and the rest by poisons. There were 22 homicides and 134 stillbirths. During the year Coroner Carr held 44 inquests on 46 days, and the number of ies was 73, of these 36 being District and 37 United States cases. During the year 1897 there were 34 inquests and 43 au- tcpsies. Dr. Carr explains that no autop- sies were had, however, for purely scien- Ufic purposes, and where he was satisfied that no living person could be held respon- sible for the death, neither autopsy ror In- quest was held. The large number of in quests and autopsies during the year just closed was due to the unusual number of violent deathes, #n increase of 82 over any previous year. The expenses of his office were as fol- Salary of coroner, $1,800; autopsies, jurors’ fees, $276; recording testimony, livery, eleven months, $220; ice and s for the morgue, $39; a total of 2,921.15. Needs of the Office. In speaking of the reeds of his office, Dr. Carr says that most prominently under this head comes the need of a morgue, a need so urgent and so self-evident that it hardly seems necessury to give reason in detail. Yel, he says, this city is the one large city in the country which practically has no morgue, although it is generally acknowl- edged that Washington should be in this, as it is in so many other respects, the model and leading city of America. The so-called morgue of the District is, Dr. > unsighUy and so ur: suited for the purpose as to be an eyesore and a stench in the neighborhood, as weil as a nuisance to the police of the sixth precinct, back of which the little one-story stable used as a morgue is situated. Strongly advocating the erection of a new morgue, Dr. Carr says it should provide accommodations for twehty bodies and have suitable rooms for autopsies and for holding inquests, as well as for keeping the records of the office. These records are bulky and constantly,ingreasing in bulk, and haye to be carted ayound from one coroner's house to angthcr's, where there is generally no suitable place for keeping them. i Many have been lost in" moving, and all are liable at any tim#’toGbe destroyed by fire. Anew modernly equipped morgue could, Dr. Carr belieyes, be erected for $10,000, and he thinks ft should be built in the semblance of a ehapePor small chureh, and should centain alreom where funeral services might.be held... Another urgent need suggested by the coroner is a property~equtpped wagon fur hauling badly decomfesed bodies. There is very great objection to handling and hauling such bodies in patrol wagons, and there chould, the coronem,says, be avail- able at ali times forsthis purpose, a wagon provided with a gyitable metallic coffin and driven by a m&n who upderstands the handling of dead bodies. Dr. Carr is of the opinion that steno- graphic or at least full and. careful long- hand notes of the testimony given at in- quests should be taken. Heretofore it has been the custom of the coroner to employ a stenographer for such a purpose, but the auditor has informed him that no more ex- penses on this account will be allowed. The attorney of the United States, says Dr. Carr, promised to furnish a stenographer when one could be spared, but has so far only done so upon one occasion, content- ing himself with the very brief summary of the testimony taken by the coroner himself. ‘There are many cases, Dr. Carr states, about one-half of them, in fact, in which the attorney for the United States is not interested, where civil suits for damages are liable to be entered against individuals and corporations or against the District, in which it would be very desirable to have the exact language of witnesses recorded. He therefore asks for an appropriation of $250 for the purpose, and for other incident- al expenses the sum of $1,140. Also $900 for a morgue keeper and §240 for an as- sistant morgue keeper. eee LATE ARMY ORDERS| Officers of the army have been assigned to duty as follows: Lieut. M. S.

Men Threw Away Blankets and Cloth- ing—Miss Clara Barton's Dispatch From Siboney. Surgeon General Sternberg.of the army objects to the criticism made by the repre- sentative of the Red Cross Society at Sib- oney concerning the all>ged inadequacy of the hospital accommodations with Shafter's army for the care of the wounded. In this connection he said: 2 “Such complaints as these invariabiy arise with the operations of armies in the field. When the men went into battle they threw away their blankets and other cloth- ing not absolutely necessary to be carried with them, and when they were wounded their underclothes were cut away by the surgeons in order that the latter might properly dress and attend to their wants, It is not practicable for an army com- mander to send forward with the van of the army everything necessary in th> hos- pital line, and resort for the supplies must necessarily be made to the rear division hospitals, where there is always a large! consignment of everything needed on hand. Such is the case at this time with Shafter’s army. Th> hospital branch furnishes blankets, mosquito bars, pillow cases, sheets and shirts for field use, and with all these requisites the army is supplied.” Gen. Sternberg made public the following telegrams which have passod between him and Dr. Pope, the chief surgeon of the hos- pital corps on duty with Shafter’s army: HEADQUARTERS OF THE 5TH ARMY CORPS, July 5, via Playa del Este.
