Evening Star Bureau, 27 King Street Bell Telephone 106, September 1, 1 ention for the eighth ional district, which met in Sarepta Hai yesterday afternoon short- ly after 1 o'clock, adjourned, after about five hours’ s n, without making any nomination for Congress. Mr. Park Agnew, chairman of the state committee, called the meeting to order and announced the purpose for which it had been convened— to nominate a candidate for Con- ALEXANDRIA, V The republican con Virginia congr: and to elect a congressional committee and three members of the state committee. Upon roll call by Mr. William Brown, congr al secretary, a large number of delegates answered to their names. Mr. R. R. Campbell of Fauquier was nominated for temporary chairman and elected by ac- clamation. F. D. Johnson, colored, of Staf- ford was elected secre Upon congratulated the party upon harmoni- ous state of affairs which in repub- lican ranks in the eighth district, and par- ticularly between the white and colored voters. The s delegates were cont , and the matter was referred to the committee on creden- tials. This committee adjourned to an ad joining reom and, after a protracted sitting, Presented its report, announcing that Wm) Brown and R. T. Bolyn, both of Loudoun, had been duly elected. The ousted gentle- men, Y. T. Brown and Jackson, were 2 ed ten minutes in which to speak on report from their point of view a’ Wm. Brown replied. On a vote of 68 to 2! the committee's report stained, with the amendment that Jackson be given one- half a vote, the other half going to Bolyn. The Culpeper delegates were reported in- dorsed. Two other committees—on resolutions and permanent organization—were appointed by the convention. th organization was made he matter of nominat- ate for Congress was brought up there was no name before the conven- tfon. Mr. Pa ew, for whom so many delegations came instructed, declined to al- low Fis name to be presented, and no one else us of the nomination. Asa » convention adopted resolu- tions that it was in nt to make a nomination at that time, and referred the matter to a congressional committee, which Was empowered to place a candidate in the field at any time when in its judgment such action would be to the interest of the republican party. The three members of the state committee are rs. R. R. Campbell of Fauquier, R. L. Flatford of Stafford and Joseph L. Crup- per of Alexandria. Maj. O. E. Hine of Fairfax was elected chairman of the con- gressional committee. ‘The convention adjourned sine die at about 6 o'clock, having had, with one or two exceptions, an orderly sitting, and having transa-+ted business to the complete satisfaction of the republican leaders; but the failure to make a nomination is re- ceived with some little disappointment by people in general. It is not expected that the committee will place a candidate in the field. : To Welcome Alexandria Boys. A movement is now developing among the ladies of the relief association and gen- tlemen interested in Company F (Alexan- aria Light Infantry) to tender a grand re- ception and banquet at Armory Hali_ to the Alexandria company when the boys re- turn home, after the expected disbanding of the Regiment. Prominent Alexan- drians, among them Mr. Park Agnew and Mr. C. C. Carlin, are actively interesting themselves in trying to secure the early disbandment of the 3a Virginia Regiment, and it is thought the movement will be successful. Police Court Docket. The principal case that Mayor Simpson disposed of in the police court this morning was that of Sadie Field and Pearl Roy, beth colored, arrested by Officer Roberts on a charge of fighting. They were fined $2.50 each. A Greek fruit seller was next arraigned, charged with withholding 9 cents change from a little boy. The case was dismissed when the man consented to pay the sum named. Escaped From County Jalil. Joseph Johnson, colored, who was arrest- ed in Alexandria county about two weeks ago on a charge of brutal assault on a woman, and who after escaping once from jail was brought back by Constable Gains of the county, made his escape again night before last and is still at large. Personal and Brief Mention. Chris. Schem, the old umbrella mender and scissors grinder, who was carried to the infirmary a few days since in an un- conscious condition, died at that place last night, and will be buried tomorrow from B, Wheatley’s undertaking establishment. The city school board will meet tonight for the purpose of electing colored teach- ers and of finishing the arrangements con- cerning new school books. Maury's ele- mentary geography will probably be re- tained on the list. v2 ” of the Culpeper and Loudoun | LATE SPORTING NEWS Poor Support Again Given Killen and Senators Lost.

The Ewing- ites outplayed the Senators both in the field and at the bat, the hits off of Kil- len being bunched with errors, while the errer of Miller only gave the Washington boys one run. Jimmy McGuire and “Jud” Smith did the best hitting for the Senators, the for- mer getting three nice singles, whiia the later hammered out a triple and a single. Breitenstein did the pitching for the Ew- ingites, and, as usual, the Senators hit him hard, but their poor fielding was too much of a handicap to be overcome. Pitcher Killen and Third Baseman Smit started after a pop fly of Breitenstein’s, and as there was not a Senator wide awake sh to call out who Should take it a ion resulted, from which the twirler was the chief sufferer, being shaken up corsiderably, and his twirling being af- fected thereafter.

Charley Farrell began batting left-handed yesterday. He made his first hit in five games. Senators open up in Boston next Monday, Labor day; then go to Philadelphia on the transferred series. The club will not be home until September 12. There's a chance of Manager Watkins be- ing left out by President Kerr, who has just regained control of the Pirates. “Wat- ty" would just be the man for the Sen- ators, and J. Earl knows it, too. Here's a chance for a triple trade. Hurst has offered Piteher Taylor for Hill, but Ewing says no. ‘The Cincinnati manager thinks a great deal of Mercer. Let him get Taylor, and it is dollars to pennies that J. Earl would trade the long-haired twirler for Jack in a minite. Down this way Jack Taylor comes right after Nichols and Rusie when ability and nerve are taken into con- sideration. Pitcher Mercer has given it out in Cin- cinnati that he is not through with pitch- ing and that he would like to do the twirl- ing for the club representing that city. The one bright spot in this season's play of the Senators is the fact that at last a good man has been found to cover third base. From the first “Jud’’ Smith has been playing a fast, reliable flelding game, and within the past two weeks the tall boy has regained bis batting eye and is hitting fine- ly. Smith's gentlemanly conduct on the field has made him hosts of friends in Washington. The outlook is that less than 100 victories will carry off the National League pennant. Buck Ewing says: “Secretary Muckenfuss of the St. Louis Browns wants to trade me either Jack Taylor or Carsey for Still Bill Hill. That is about an even trade, I guess —nit.”—Cincinnati Enquirer, Word from the east is to the effect that President Van Derbeck has made an offer to Manager Denny Long of the Reading team, ia the Atlantic League, for Cockman, Slater, Heyden, Garvin and Fertsch, and that Long is considering the offer.—Ohio State Journal. “Now thit President Kerr is again in control of affairs in Pittsburg, you can bet all you are wcrth that Manager Watkins will not be there much longer,” said Haw- ley last night. “I really don’t believe that he will be there two weeks longer.”—Cin- cinnati Tribune. * “I am not with a team that stands as well in the race I was when I was with the Pittsburgs,” said Pitcher Frank Killen of the Washingtons, yesterday, to the Cin- cinnat! Tribune man, “but I am with one that has a far better idea of how to treat its men. There is some comfort in not having a maniac on the bench t6 rattle you nen you don’t play just exactly to or- “The worst deal we have received this season was given us at Louisville,” said Jimmie McGuire, the captain-manager of the Mashing ons, last night. “This man Warner led it out to us in a way that would stop any team. You can imagine how bad his umpiring was when the Louis- ville spectators would not stand for it and gave him a calling down. I believe that ‘Warner was a pugilist before he became an umpire. He seems to be able and willing to take care of himself in any kind of an ar- Nee ee juirer. Peobeeme tarenr et teak a} th team. It’s the of a team would make me pitch ny arm off to With such a team to back me up I would be sure to get full return for every ball I pitched, ——— If I was with the Cincinnati team I would be willing to work six times a week, if it was necessary. My arm is good—never bet- ter than it is it now. At that, I do more of my pitching with my head than I do with my-arm,,,I would like to pitch about five y2ars and then I will look to the outfield. If I like the outfield better than I do the infisl, I would be a happy man if I was a member of the Reds.” There are a whole jot of Cincinnati peopie who would be just as happy as Win if he were to join the lecal team. | Mercer is made of the right stuff. He is a hard worker and not afraid to face any kind of a team. He has done some grand pitching for the Washingtons. With a team of field- ers like the Reds he would be a tower of strength.—Cincinaati, Enquirer. Rowe Mentioned for Manager. Now it is sat#-that Jack Rowe, who started in the base ball business as a catch- er and later proved to be one of the great- est shortstops the game has known when he was one of the famous Detroit “Big Four,” will manage the Washington team next season. Rowe Las been managing the Buffalo team in the Eastern League. Ladies’ Tennis at Chicago. In the women’s championship tennis tour- nament at Chicago yesterday Miss Atkin- son defeated Mies Sara Gardner of Chicago, 6-1, 6-0, iiss Gardner only scoring 4 points.

Numerous Politicians on the Ground— Additional Premiums Awarded Today—Resulis of Races. Special Dispatch to The Evering Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., September 1.—Taurs- cay, the big day of the agricultural fair, opened bright and hot. Long before the ris- ing of the sun the many roads leading to the grounds were filled with vehicles of all descriptions, bearing their loads of happy, expectant humanity to the exhibition. The fine display and tlie gocd races of yesterday had but added zest to the appetite of the visitors for more of the same sort. 1 11 o'clock a steady stream of carriages was passing into the grounds, and it required skill and management on the part of the of- ficers of the sovicty to find suitabl> places for all. All the regular morning trains from both east and west brought extra cars, fully leaded, and the several extra trains added hundreds to the great throng. Good humor pr2vailed, and each one appeared to be on the lookout for the sample of amusement that pleased him or her best. The long ln> of stands and booths, al- most encircling the grounds, where every- thing in the shape of refreshments could be procured, did a thriving business, while the shrill cry of the fakir lured many on to th> purchase of ten-cent diamonds and massive gold chains and rings for a quarter. Despite the numerous kicks after purchase, they did a thriving busiaebs. Center of Attraction. The large exhibition hall was the conter of attraction for the ladies, and during the day was crowde®t04tts utmost capacity. The beautiful, @iSplay of plants and flowers, the producis of the garden and orchard; artistic’ Weedle-work, the product of Montgomery dames and daughters, all recéived marked ,atteftion from theshappy, chattering throhg.

This has been w lively day among the politicians on the grounds, many of the prominent worktrs of bath parties in the congressicnal Uistricts being in attendance. While there seems to be some doubt as to the man» who will be named by thé repub- licans for Congress, the democrats appear to be entirely at sea in regard to an avail- able candidate. Up to noon it was estimated that there were at least 10,000 people on the grounds, with the prospects of a large addition dur- ing the afternoon, Additional Premiums.

Figures Given for Grant's First Term and Hayes’ Administration—The Total Expenditures. An elaborate statement showing the num- ber of pensions granted during the past fiscal yeer in comparison with those of former years has been prepared at the pen- sion office. It shows that more pensions for service in the war of the rebellion were sranted during the last fiscal year than were allowed during the entire four y: of Grant's second term and the entire ministration of President Hayes; that the amount actually paid for army and navy pensions during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1808, was largely . amount paid during either the first or sec ond of President Grant’s terms and almost as much as was paid during the entire four years of President Hayes’ administration. The exact figures are as follow In Grant's first term 20,850 pe: allowed on account of the war of 181 71,452 on account of the war of the rebel- lion. In his ond term 26,82: pensions were granted on account of the war of 1812 and 4 on account of the rebellion. Com- ing to Hayes’ administration, 7,698 pension. were granted on account of the war of 1 and but 39,945 of the war of the rebellion Thus, from Grant's first term to the end of Hayes’ administration a total of 55,368 pen- sions were granted for the war of 1812 and 158,766 on account of the rebellion. Thi made an average per year for the 18 claims allowed of 4,614, the rebellion of 13,330. Namber of Pensions Allowed. The number of pensions allowed during the past fiscal year, including the war of 1812 (and there were only seven on that account), 56,737, of which the army got 54,852 and the navy 1,885. It will be interesting to note also the amount of money paid during the adminis- trations of Grant and Hay In Grant's first term a total of $116,136,275.48 was paid, while his second term showed a slight re- duction, the amount being $114. 17. There was a decided increase, however, in Hayes’ term, and the pension payments for his administration aggregated $145,322,- 499.16. This brought the average for each year to $31,321,176.62. Last vear the pension office paid out $14! 41.06. During the past-year 139 ex-Union soldiers Were reinstated, 279 were promoted, four widows reinstated and two promoted and 64 orphans and relatives of soldiers were reinstated. Comparisons Made. The following comparison for periods of ten years from 1877 shows not only the amount paid for pensions, but the average value of each pension: Number of pensioners on the roll June 30, 1877, 232,104; amount paid for pensions dur- ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 1877, $28,182,821.72; average value of each pen- sion, $121.42. Garfield and others predicted pensions were at that time at a high-water mark. Number of pensioners on the’roll June 30, 1887, 406,007; amount paid for pensions dur ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 18ST, $73,752,997.02; average value of each pen- sion, $181.65. Number of pensioners on the roll June 30, 1897, 976,014; amount paid for pensions dur- ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 1897, $139,949,717.35; average value of each pen- sion, $133.17. Number of pensioners on the roll June 30, 1898, 993,714; amount paid for pensions dur- ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 1898, $144,651,879.80; average value of each pen- Sion, $131,79. nd for the war of —— Ready to Leave Cuba.
