WATER IN THE CANAL. A Sluggish Stream 1- lows in the George- town Level ThU Morning;. A sluggish stream of water coursed its way over the fiItb-.-ovt.red bed of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal this morning. There was in- saflicient height and force iu the flow of water to flush the canal bed properly, yet it is hoped that when the water is allowed to fill the canal to the ht iglit of fi>e or six feet it will be sutti- cieut to wiwli out any fever-breediug debris and th. rank growth of weeds. It is quite likely thut the mills will be supplied witn water to¬ morrow. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. XOT CXDKR THE COMMISSIONERS. In reply to a communication from Mr. B. A.

The Complaint of Representatives of State Republican Associations. A meeting of the Pennsylvania republican association, at which representatives of other state republican aasociatious were mvited to be present. was held at Grand Army hall last even- I ing. Probably seventy-five persons were pres- eat. Mr. S. U. itrattou. president of the asso¬ ciation. presided, and in a loug speech com¬ plained most bitterly of the attitude of the administration as to the matter of making appouuments. "We are no: getting a proper recognition as members of prominent republi¬ can organizations in this city for the work that Las been and 1* to be doue by us," he said. "We considered it necessary that we get to¬ gether and size up the situatiou, to compare notes and See what standing we have with the appointing powers of the government, or whether «e hate any standing at all worth mentioning. The best test of our standing pouticallr is shown in oar ability to get places for the unemployed iu this association in the public service. For myself I can say that my efforts on behalf of member* were never before so abortive as they have been during the hut two or three months." borne short speeches followed this. One speaker complaiued that there were but seven¬ teen republicans on the Washington police force. Alter the adjournment of the Pennsylvania association a general organization was formed of the representatives of the various associa¬ tions present, with Mr. Stratton of the Penn- sylvauia association president, and Mr. bum¬ ble. secretary of the Ohio association, secre¬ tary. Mr. Stevenson of the New York associa- tiou was elected correspond.ng secretary. The corresponding secretary ot the meeting was directed to communicate with the different State associations, requesting that three dele¬ gates from each association be elected to rep¬ resent their association* in the amalgamated association.

The Senator* and the Giant* played two Cam** of ball in Nsw York yecterdsy, both of which wore won by the latter. The first (tame waa a perfect Waterloo, the *core being 16 to 3. Tha batteries were Feraon. Clarke and Daly, and Crans and Ewing. Clarke split his finger in the fourth inning and gave way to Daly. Ferson's delivery was not effective, and he waa given miserable support The batting was very hard on both aide*, but the Giants had the best of the conteat, both at the bat and in the flsld. from the (tart to tha finish. They .cored two in the first and the Senator* one in tho second. Then in the fourth the New York* won the game by making six runs. Both side* .cored in the fifth. New York 3 and Washing¬ ton L The Giants scored 1 in the sixth, and both teams in the seventh. Then in the ninth, with the tally 13 to 3, Gotham'a foika made 3 more. Wiaeledth* good batting and the bad fielding for Washington, making two aingle* and a double and four error*. John Irwin made a double and a aingle, besides putting up a perfect game with 3 outs and 7 assists. Wilmot and ueecher each made two aingles. and the latter an error. Arthur Irwin found the ball ouct for two baaes, and made two error* in 11 chances. Carney, Ferson and Hoy each hit ^or'' niade 16 hit* and 3 errors and n ashington 18 hits and 10 errors. THE SECOND OAXE. The score of the second game, which was called at the end of the sixth inning on account of darknesa. was 7 to 5. The batteries were Keeie and Daly, andO'Day end Brown. Carney did not play, Beecher taking hi* place on first base. As there was no one to put in the gap in right field. Harry Clarke of the Actors' nine played that position for Washington. The Giants won by harder hitting, both teams playing indifferently in the field. Each made a couple or runs in the first. New York 1 in the second and Washington 1 in the third, tieing the score. Then, in the fifth. New York mado 3 runs and Washington 2. The Giants advanced oub step in their lead in the sixth, and at the end of that inning the close and interesting game was closed. New York earned 4 of the runs and Washington 3. Hoy did the best butting of the day with a single and a triple. Wilmot made a double and a single, Beecher a double, and Wise and Daly each a single. V, ise, Wilmot, Beecher and Daly each made an error. Keefe gave four bases on balls and struck out three men, and O'Day gave one base and struck out four men. Washington made 7 hits and 4run* and New York 13 hits and 4 runs. AXONQ THE OTHEB TEAMS. Philadelphia won from Boston in the ninth inning, the final score being 5 to 3. Big S»m Thompson did the business for the Phillies, making a home run hit in the last inning with two out, two on base* and the score 3 to 2 against them. The batteries were Iladbourne and Bennett and Sander* and Schriver. Boston m Je 7 hits and 2 error* and Philadelphia 13 hi und 6 errors. Chicago won in the tenth from Cleveland, score 8 to 7, Hyan making a home run. The teams plaved abont evenly both at the bat and in the fi.jld. The batteries were Beatin. Bakeley and Zinimer and Hutchinson und F.irrell. Cleveland made 13 bits and 4 errors and Chicago 12 hits and 3 errors. Pittsburg had about lost the game to Indian¬ apolis yesterday, when the Hoosiers were con¬ siderably surprised in the niuth by a tremen¬ dous streak of batting that uetted eleven run* and the victory. The score was 14 to 7. At the beginning of the ninth it was 8 to 3. and the final result took everybodys breath awav. The batteries at the start were Boyle and Buckley and Morris and Carroll. Morris was knocked out of the box in the fourth and Sowders took his place, the Hoosiers being powerless before him. In the ninth, after nine runs bad been stored, Bovle went to third base, Denny to short, and Glasscock essayed to pitch. He'was wild, and two mure ruus" resulted. Pittsburg mudo 18 hits aud 2 error* and Indianapolis 13 bits and 2 errors. ASSOCIATION OA3CKS. At St. Louis.St Louis, 9; Kansas City, 9; eight innings, darkness. At Columbus.Ath¬ letics, 5; Columbus.

Home again! The Senators ended their trip badly. They cross bats with the Phillies today. N>*w York profited by yesterday's work. Sam Thompson could own Philadelphia to¬ day if he wanted to. Alas! Poor Cleveland! The tobog is long and slippery indeed. Baltimore has about shattered Brooklyn'* hope* for the association pennant Wilmot aud W'ue were at the bat seven time* a piece yesterday and each made four hits.

From the above it would appear that the popular idea of popularity is based on a foun¬ dation of rough, tricky, questionable ball play¬ ing. On these grounds there is no doubt as to the champion. Of course, if the popular idea i* that of a winning ball player the voto is all right, but if it was intended to bring out the sentiment as to the man who deserved the most honest praise the balloting is rather queer. The Senator* are now home again after a long tour. The have visited every other league city and have played twenty-three game* away from home, being for a greater part of ths time crippled in pitching tali-nt That they have succeeded in win¬ ning seven of these games is cause for con¬ gratulation. Instead of going backward in their percentage on this trip, as i* usually the case when they go abroad, they have just about held their own, and although there is .till a wide gap between them and a place the home patrons snould not feol that the club has lost every chance. In thxse twenty-three game* the Senators made 128 runs, 212 hits and 106 errors, while their opponeuts made 196 runs. 248 hits and errors. They were outbatted in every city but Indianapolis, where they made 38 'hits to 30, and in Boston, where they made 33 hits to 31. lbey were outflelded in every city, coming pretty close to their opponents in thi* respect in New York.

Moors Camp, Atlantic Cttt. August 39. Tbs camp it M lively as the cricket that Capt. John Millar and Lieut. Pete Duffy have in their tent, and, by the way. that cricket is a large and lively one, and sounds the reveills in the morning in tones stentorous enough to awaken the seven sleepers if there were such in this section of America at the present time. It would take columns to tell the tale of tent lifa thst is now being enacted. Its scenes of jollity, pleasantry and real downright genial fun are enjoyed bv hundreds of visitors, and when a stranger enters camp he is at once made at home, and when he leaves it he leaves it a friend. The members of the Infantry and the Corcoran Cadeta certainly reflect great credit upon the Distriot. They have been here three years in succession, and from the remarks one nears on every side they are wanted here three times three years. As Major Hoffmann re¬ marked to The Stab correspondent: "A more complete set of gentlemen have never favored our favored city." OOOD DISCIPLINE. The boys have been remarkably attentive to discipline. It is absolutely impossible for a man to come into camp without the counter¬ sign. Adjutant Charlie Lcxffler waa impressed with this soldierly efficiency last night. He was coming into camp a little after "taps" hud sounded, accompanied by two members of the band, and was suddenly baited by Private Cunegau. Charley essayed to get by the sentry but t'was no use. Mr. Cunegan would not have it. He called the corporal of tne guard. Charlie tried to make friends with the corporal.which his name was Ed. Moore. but aven this diplomacy was insufficient. Consequently Lcpfller's name was on the list of the delinqueuts presented to Major Dalton this morning. But Charlie has lost no flesh by his terrible experience. DBESS PARADE. This evening at 6:30 o'clock the oorps gave a dress parade on the Brighton lawn in response to an invitation extended by the managers of the hotels in that vicinity. The guests of the Travmore, the Windsor, the Brighton, the Shelburne and the Dennis were out in full force, and whan Major Dalton put the boys through the evolutions the great assemblage testified its approbation in an unmistakably loud manner. As soon as the corps returned to camp every mother's son of its component Enrts began to get ready for the journalist's anquet, and as this is written the many dis¬ tinguished guests of the popular newspaper men of Atlantic City are indulging in the "small sweet courtesies of life," as well aa the more material adjuncts of existence. NOTES or THE CAMP. Lieut S. F. Morrow of the Corcoran Cadets spent Tuasday and today in New York. bergt. Samuel Kinsinger went home yesterday, his business preventing him from romaining for the allotca period. Tomorrow the Cadets will go through the ceremony of guard mount. They are prepared to do it in great style. When Corporal Buumer returned from Phila¬ delphia he deserved his name.his countenance shone. "The Cameo mess" of the Cadets is a lively one. It is composed of Bayley. Green- well, Manger and Collins. The Cameos have numerous fair visitors. George Nixon, J. 8. Farrell, It. T. Smith and Corporal Beamer call themselves the "Bashful mess" of the Cadets. It is a uusnomer. Allan Houghton and Miss Laura Houghton were in camp today. Mihs Laura Harbaugh will leave for New York to- morrow. 8.C.C. SHOT BY HIS FRIEND. Serious Result of a Joltu with a Loaded Pistol. A YOUNO COLORED KAX PEBHAPS FATALLY IN- JLUtl).HID PHIEND POINTED A BEVOLVEB AT HIM IN res.MX DID NOT KNOW THAT IT WAS LOADED. Geo. T. Moors, a young colored man who lives with his parents at No. 11 Goat alley, is held at the second precinct station on a charge of assault and battery. A pistol is the weapon used, although the police believe Moore's state¬ ment that the shooting was accidental and that he "didn't know it wax lo .uled." The victim of the pistol is a young oolored man named Jacob Brooks. Both young men have good reputations. Brooks has been occu¬ pying a room in Mrs. Moore's houne and he and George roomed together. Yesterday afternoon the young men were in their room getting ready to go out somewhere. Moore was getting ready to sliave and he requested Brooks to hand him the shaving cup. "No I won't," suid Brooks, good uaturedly. LEVKLED THE PISTOL AT HIM. Moore then pioked up the old pistol and pointed it at Brocks, pretending he was going to sboot him or make him comply with his re¬ quest and band him the shaving mug. "Don't do that," shouted Brooks as Moore pointed the weapon at him. "It might go off," he added. Before lirooks could get out of the way the report of the weapon rang through the alley and Brooks fell to the floor with the bullet in his head. The bullet entered the left side of the uose and buried itself somewhere iu the head. Moore, at once realizing what he had done, ran to his companion's assistance. A physician was sent for, but Policemun Fox. who was attracted to the house by hearing the report of the pistol, arrived before the phy¬ sician and bad the wounded man taken to Providence lio*yital. Moore was placed under arrest and taken to the station. THE STATEMENTS or THE MEN. His statement of the affair was substantially as that given above. He said he had no idea that the weapon was loaded. No one, he said, regretted the affair more than he did, because he and Urooks wera warm personal friends. The injured man uave a similar version of the shooting. He told the officers that he and Moore were good friends and the shooting was purely accidental Brooks was in a critical eoudition last night. The bullet, after enter¬ ing the nose, took an upward course and it is thought lodged somewhere near the brain. This morning the injured man waa better. THE ATHLETIC CLUB GAMES. Results of the Conteats on Analostan Island Yesterday. A more suitable dav for out-of-doors athletic contests could not have bean selected than yes¬ terday, when about ninety members of the Co¬ lumbia athletic club took part in the different sports on Analostan island There were many surprises in store for the contestants, owing to the equalisation by handicapping. To be sure there were no records broken or any phenomena discovered, but many athletes who have heretofore been indifferent were aroused to friendly rivalry; just what the club now most desires. Many members think the oftener such meets are held the better the ef¬ fects will be in every way. The first event was a dash of 75 yards and was won by W. Ballan- tyne.8 feet.in 8 '2-5 seconds, with C. L. Mc- Caullv, 6 leet, second, in 8 3-5 seconds. Ballantyne also won the 100 yards dash with a handicap of 6 yards in 10 4-5 seconds, with Elder (3 yards) aucond, in 11 seconds. The 220 yards run was caught by Buel (15 yards) in 24 seconds, with Elder (10 yards) sec¬ ond, in 25 seconds Ballantyne again proved a winner in the 440 vards, beating Moultou. Ballantyne had a handicap of 35 yards, and won iu 56 seconds. Moulton, who was give i a handicap of 25 feet, crossed the line 3 seconds later. In the 880 yards run "Bobby" Elder showed considerable headwork and saved his wind for the stretch, beating Kenyon and Lee Harban, who run a dead heat for second place. Elder's time was 2.12 3-5 and handicap 40 yarda. Har- ban's handicap 15 yarda. Kenyon scratch. Time for seconds, 2.13. Buel's handicap in the 120 yards hurdle proved to be of a groat assistance to him in vhat race, which ha won by defeating Lee Har¬ ban. Winner's handicap 8 yarda. Time, 19 seconds. Harban scratch. With a handicap of 18 inches Buel won the running broad jump, defeating S. E. Lewis. Lewis won the high jump. The standing broad jamp waa won by Buel, 9 feet inchea. The liaminer throwing waa won by Lee Har¬ ban and shot putting by W. E. Crist. The day's program ended with a bicycle race between Brown and Barber and was won by the latter. The officers of the dav were: Howard Perry, referee; B. D. Kerr, H. M. Woodward and Mills Dean, iudgee; 8. W. 8tine me U, elerk of the oourae; Misers. Dowell and Wade, meas¬ urers. NOT SINKS OF INIQUITY. The 8«v«nth-Street Saloon Keepers An¬ swer Mr. B. H. Warner's Letter. The District Commissioner* bare received the following communication, dated August 36, 1889: "A communication of the 12th instant was received by your honorable body from Mr. Brainard H. Warner, in which be pnbliely and without reservation denounced some twenty- seven respectable citizens engaged in carrying on a legalised business, for which they are an¬ nually taxed the sum of (100, and they do not propose that the said libelous letter shall re¬ main unanswered, especially as it has received widespread publication in the newspapers of the District. NUMBER OF SALOONS. "Mr. Warner has thought proper to count the number of saloons on 7th street for a mile above Boundary and numbers them at twenty- seven. If be will count them for the same distance on 7th street below Boundary or on F street, where hts office is situated, he will probably find twice the number in the same distance. If the twenty-seven places mentioned as 'sinks of iniquity' and the 'worst kind of gin mills this side of London, where old soldiers are demoralized and where the Montgomery farm¬ ers (who have probably voted the prohibition ticket in their own county) who are afraid to trust their drivers on 7th street with their wagons are forced to drive them them¬ selves, and it is not an uncommon sight to see a four-horse wagon making its way homo with the driver drunk in the wa^on; that womon and children are frequently insulted. and that it is dangerous for them to walk on 7th street,' then it is time for the intervention of vour honorable body, for it would establish the inefficiency of the police force in the District, the incapacity of the Montgomery farmers to come to town unattended by guardians, and the violation of the District laws by the saloon keepers on 7th street; but the above stato- creuts are entirely false aud without foundation or cause, as the undersigned stand ready to prove, if necessany. CONFIBMED BT THE POLICE. "Lieut. Gessford. who has been in charge of the police precinct in which our respective places of business are situated, and who is known as an honest, tried and efficient officer, will disprove emphatically the statements of Mr. Warner, and the reports of the officers in the same precinct who almost hourly pass our places of business will confirm his report. TAXATION ON PBOPEBTT. "The fact that property has not depreciated in value, as stated by Mr. Warner, is best answered by the fact that taxation on property on 7th street above Boundary has been almost doubled within the last two years, and its value bat* increased more than two-fold. There are bad men engaged in all business pursuits, and we could with the same propriety denounce Mr. Warner and all the real estate men on F street as dishonest and as drunkards because some few of them have acted improperly, and Mr. Warner will not increase the value of property on 7th street or elsewhere by de¬ nouncing citizens who are as much interested in the value of said property as Mr. Warner is himself. LEGAL ACTION TO BE TAKEN. "We do not propose to allow Mr. Warner to make us responsible for all the whisky the Montgomery people drink simply because they must necessarily pass our places of business, or for infractions of the law for which we are in no way responsible, nor do we propose to allow him to assault and insult our wives, children, places of business and ourselves with¬ out resenting it.

Prospects of Restoring the C. and O. Canal.Neighborhood Note*. Oocrjepondence of Tin Evxxtxo Stab. Frederick. Md., August 28. The friends in this county of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal hare had their intereat in the question of it* probable restoration aroused by the action of the Washington county people who a few days ago at Hagerstown decided to hold a county convention for the purpose of taking hold of the matter. The movement seems to savor more of business than of poli¬ tics, and the canal men in this section bel.eve that with careful business management at its baok the canal still stands a chanco. The re¬ sult of tbe convention in Washington county will probably determine those interested her* iw to what course is best to pursue in solving the problem that involves the future of th* great ditch. If something is not done soon the malaria-producing condition of the ditch will probably do the solving itself. A number of valuable and interesting revo¬ lutionary relics have been loaned to the his¬ torical committee of the coming Maryland ex¬ position in Baltimore by Miss Adah Schlev, formerly of this city and a sister of Capt W. Scott Schley. Among them is a beer mug which Oen. Washington drauk out of on his way through New Jerey to his inauguration, a buckle from a British army belt found at Braudywine by Cupt. Jacob Schley, and a gavel used by the Speaker to call Congress together at the time it took action upon the death of President William Henry Harrison. The managers of the Frederick County agri¬ cultural society are agreeably surprised at the large number of applications being received from exhibitors for space ic the exhibition buildings at the coming fair. The floral and poultry departments and department of do¬ mestic pets will be especially large. The man¬ agers are also booking new attractions to serve as features of eutertainment for the people. A good deal of gratification is felt ijv the taxpayer here over the announcement that the public schools this year will be kept open a half term longer than last Even with this exten¬ sion of the time the term will end in Mav. ow¬ ing to the usual poverty of tbe anuual school appropriation.a state of affairs that has ex¬ isted here several years. Owuers or horse flesh in Frederick county are alarmed by the number of fatal diseases that prevail at prescut among the animals. The latest is a species oi apoplexy or heart disease, from the effects of which the horses drop down in the fields or stables dead. John Nichols, a witness wanted by the state in the Show-Hooper murder case, escaped from tbe custody of a deputy last night by jumping from the second-story window of the house where he had been detained. He made good his escape. Mrs. Samuel Garber, an old lady and wife of the former proprietor of the hotel at Wever- ton, was struck by a freight train on the Balti¬ more and Ohio aiid received fatal injuries. Miss Lettie S. Ebberts of Washington is the guest of relatives here. Mr. Jacob Nusbaum left today for Washington on an extended visit. Friends here of Congressman Louis E. McComas have news that he will arrive home September 8. F. M. GEORGETOWN. The Prospect Avenue Extension..Mr. George W. King, who is anxiously awaiting for the superintendent of streets to remove the shanties that prevent the extension ot Prospect avenue, stated to a Stab reporter today that he understood that the Commissioners had directed the removal of these obstructions.

Mrs. Jennie Moore and daughters leave Friday morning. They have been here three weeks. The Black Diamond Again After Seal*. A special to the New York Htruld from Vic¬ toria, B. C., says: The Black Diamond left here this morning ostensibly on a trip up tbe coast to refit, but I have it on the best of infor¬ mation that she is really off on a sealing cruise into Behring sea. The owners believe they have a perfectly legal right to hunt seal in Behring sea. This action shows what the popu¬ lar feeling is here in regard to the Luiied States jurisdiction in Behring sea and her power or her policy to enforce it. A special from Altoona, Pa., says the Catholic diocese of Allegheny has been suppressed and made a part of the diocese of Pittsburg, as it was before the division of the dioceses in 1K76 G. W.

WATER IN THE CANAL.

A Sluggish Stream 1- lows in the George-town Level ThU Morning;.

A sluggish stream of water coursed its wayover the fiItb-.-ovt.red bed of the Chesapeakeand Ohio canal this morning. There was in-saflicient height and force iu the flow of waterto flush the canal bed properly, yet it is hopedthat when the water is allowed to fill the canalto the ht iglit of fi>e or six feet it will be sutti-cieut to wiwli out any fever-breediug debris andth. rank growth of weeds. It is quite likelythut the mills will be supplied witn water to¬morrow.

As there was no one to put in the gap inright field. Harry Clarke of the Actors' nineplayed that position for Washington. TheGiants won by harder hitting, both teamsplaying indifferently in the field. Each made acouple or runs in the first. New York 1 in thesecond and Washington 1 in the third, tieingthe score. Then, in the fifth. New York mado3 runs and Washington 2. The Giants advancedoub step in their lead in the sixth, and at theend of that inning the close and interestinggame was closed.

At thebeginning of the ninth it was 8 to 3. and thefinal result took everybodys breath awav. Thebatteries at the start were Boyle and Buckleyand Morris and Carroll.

popular idea of popularity is based on a foun¬dation of rough, tricky, questionable ball play¬ing. On these grounds there is no doubt as tothe champion. Of course, if the popular ideai* that of a winning ball player the voto is allright, but if it was intended to bring out thesentiment as to the man who deserved the mosthonest praise the balloting is rather queer.The Senator* are now home again after along tour. The have visited every other leaguecity and have played twenty-three game*away from home, being for a greaterpart of ths time crippled in pitchingtali-nt That they have succeeded in win¬ning seven of these games is cause for con¬gratulation. Instead of going backward intheir percentage on this trip, as i* usually thecase when they go abroad, they have justabout held their own, and although there is.till a wide gap between them and a place thehome patrons snould not feol that the club haslost every chance.

Corrsepondeucc of Tbb Evmnrso Btab.William Q. Moors Camp,Atlantic Cttt. August 39.

Tbs camp it M lively as the cricket that Capt.John Millar and Lieut. Pete Duffy have in theirtent, and, by the way. that cricket is a largeand lively one, and sounds the reveills in themorning in tones stentorous enough to awakenthe seven sleepers if there were such in thissection of America at the present time. Itwould take columns to tell the tale of tent lifathst is now being enacted. Its scenes of jollity,pleasantry and real downright genial fun are

enjoyed bv hundreds of visitors, and when a

stranger enters camp he is at once made athome, and when he leaves it he leaves it a

friend. The members of the Infantry and theCorcoran Cadeta certainly reflect great creditupon the Distriot. They have been here threeyears in succession, and from the remarks onenears on every side they are wanted here threetimes three years. As Major Hoffmann re¬marked to The Stab correspondent:"A more complete set of gentlemen have

never favored our favored city."OOOD DISCIPLINE.

The boys have been remarkably attentive todiscipline. It is absolutely impossible for aman to come into camp without the counter¬sign. Adjutant Charlie Lcxffler waa impressedwith this soldierly efficiency last night. Hewas coming into camp a little after "taps" hudsounded, accompanied by two members of theband, and was suddenly baited by PrivateCunegau. Charley essayed to get by thesentry but t'was no use. Mr. Cunegan wouldnot have it. He called the corporal of tneguard. Charlie tried to make friends withthe corporal.which his name was Ed. Moore.but aven this diplomacy was insufficient.Consequently Lcpfller's name was on the list ofthe delinqueuts presented to Major Dalton thismorning. But Charlie has lost no flesh by histerrible experience.

DBESS PARADE.This evening at 6:30 o'clock the oorps gave a

dress parade on the Brighton lawn in responseto an invitation extended by the managers ofthe hotels in that vicinity. The guests of theTravmore, the Windsor, the Brighton, theShelburne and the Dennis were out in fullforce, and whan Major Dalton put the boysthrough the evolutions the great assemblagetestified its approbation in an unmistakablyloud manner. As soon as the corps returnedto camp every mother's son of its componentEnrts began to get ready for the journalist'sanquet, and as this is written the many dis¬

tinguished guests of the popular newspapermen of Atlantic City are indulging in the"small sweet courtesies of life," as well aa themore material adjuncts of existence.

NOTES or THE CAMP.Lieut S. F. Morrow of the Corcoran Cadets

spent Tuasday and today in New York.bergt. Samuel Kinsinger went home yesterday,his business preventing him from romainingfor the allotca period. Tomorrow the Cadetswill go through the ceremony of guard mount.They are prepared to do it in great style.When Corporal Buumer returned from Phila¬delphia he deserved his name.his countenanceshone. "The Cameo mess" of the Cadets isa lively one. It is composed of Bayley. Green-well, Manger and Collins. The Cameos havenumerous fair visitors. George Nixon, J. 8.Farrell, It. T.

SHOT BY HIS FRIEND.Serious Result of a Joltu with a Loaded

Pistol.

A YOUNO COLORED KAX PEBHAPS FATALLY IN-JLUtl).HID PHIEND POINTED A BEVOLVEB ATHIM IN res.MX DID NOT KNOW THAT IT WASLOADED.

Geo. T. Moors, a young colored man wholives with his parents at No. 11 Goat alley, isheld at the second precinct station on a chargeof assault and battery. A pistol is the weaponused, although the police believe Moore's state¬ment that the shooting was accidental and thathe "didn't know it wax lo.uled."The victim of the pistol is a young oolored

man named Jacob Brooks. Both young menhave good reputations. Brooks has been occu¬pying a room in Mrs. Moore's houne and heand George roomed together. Yesterdayafternoon the young men were in their roomgetting ready to go out somewhere. Moorewas getting ready to sliave and he requestedBrooks to hand him the shaving cup."No I won't," suid Brooks, good uaturedly.

LEVKLED THE PISTOL AT HIM.Moore then pioked up the old pistol and

pointed it at Brocks, pretending he was goingto sboot him or make him comply with his re¬quest and band him the shaving mug."Don't do that," shouted Brooks as Moore

pointed the weapon at him. "It might go off,"he added.Before lirooks could get out of the way the

report of the weapon rang through the alleyand Brooks fell to the floor with the bullet inhis head. The bullet entered the left side ofthe uose and buried itself somewhere iu thehead. Moore, at once realizing what he haddone, ran to his companion's assistance. Aphysician was sent for, but Policemun Fox.who was attracted to the house by hearing thereport of the pistol, arrived before the phy¬sician and bad the wounded man taken toProvidence lio*yital. Moore was placed underarrest and taken to the station.

THE STATEMENTS or THE MEN.His statement of the affair was substantially

as that given above. He said he had no ideathat the weapon was loaded. No one, he said,regretted the affair more than he did, becausehe and Urooks wera warm personal friends.The injured man uave a similar version of theshooting. He told the officers that he andMoore were good friends and the shooting was

purely accidental Brooks was in a criticaleoudition last night. The bullet, after enter¬ing the nose, took an upward course and it isthought lodged somewhere near the brain.This morning the injured man waa better.

THE ATHLETIC CLUB GAMES.Results of the Conteats on Analostan

Island Yesterday.A more suitable dav for out-of-doors athletic

contests could not have bean selected than yes¬terday, when about ninety members of the Co¬lumbia athletic club took part in the differentsports on Analostan island There were manysurprises in store for the contestants, owing tothe equalisation by handicapping.To be sure there were no records broken or

any phenomena discovered, but many athleteswho have heretofore been indifferent werearoused to friendly rivalry; just what the clubnow most desires. Many members think theoftener such meets are held the better the ef¬fects will be in every way. The first event wasa dash of 75 yards and was won by W. Ballan-tyne.8 feet.in 8 '2-5 seconds, with C. L. Mc-Caullv, 6 leet, second, in 8 3-5 seconds.

ond, in 25 secondsBallantyne again proved a winner in the 440

vards, beating Moultou. Ballantyne had ahandicap of 35 yards, and won iu 56 seconds.Moulton, who was give i a handicap of 25 feet,crossed the line 3 seconds later.In the 880 yards run "Bobby" Elder showedconsiderable headwork and saved his wind for

the stretch, beating Kenyon and Lee Harban,who run a dead heat for second place. Elder'stime was 2.12 3-5 and handicap 40 yarda. Har-ban's handicap 15 yarda. Kenyon scratch.Time for seconds, 2.13.

Buel's handicap in the 120 yards hurdleproved to be of a groat assistance to him invhat race, which ha won by defeating Lee Har¬ban. Winner's handicap 8 yarda. Time, 19seconds.

NOT SINKS OF INIQUITY.The 8«v«nth-Street Saloon Keepers An¬

swer Mr. B. H. Warner's Letter.The District Commissioner* bare received

the following communication, dated August36, 1889:"A communication of the 12th instant was

received by your honorable body from Mr.Brainard H. Warner, in which be pnbliely andwithout reservation denounced some twenty-seven respectable citizens engaged in carryingon a legalised business, for which they are an¬nually taxed the sum of (100, and they do notpropose that the said libelous letter shall re¬main unanswered, especially as it has receivedwidespread publication in the newspapers ofthe District.

NUMBER OF SALOONS."Mr. Warner has thought proper to count the

number of saloons on 7th street for a mileaboveBoundary and numbers them at twenty-seven. If be will count them for the samedistance on 7th street below Boundary oron F street, where hts office is situated, he willprobably find twice the number in the samedistance. If the twenty-seven places mentionedas 'sinks of iniquity' and the 'worst kind of ginmills this side of London, where old soldiers aredemoralized and where the Montgomery farm¬ers (who have probably voted the prohibitionticket in their own county) who are afraidto trust their drivers on 7th street withtheir wagons are forced to drive them them¬selves, and it is not an uncommon sight to seea four-horse wagon making its way homo withthe driver drunk in the wa^on; that womonand children are frequently insulted. and thatit is dangerous for them to walk on 7thstreet,' then it is time for the intervention ofvour honorable body, for it would establish theinefficiency of the police force in the District,the incapacity of the Montgomery farmers tocome to town unattended by guardians, andthe violation of the District laws by the saloonkeepers on 7th street; but the above stato-creuts are entirely false aud without foundationor cause, as the undersigned stand ready toprove, if necessany.

CONFIBMED BT THE POLICE."Lieut. Gessford. who has been in charge of

the police precinct in which our respectiveplaces of business are situated, and who isknown as an honest, tried and efficient officer,will disprove emphatically the statements ofMr. Warner, and the reports of the officers inthe same precinct who almost hourly pass ourplaces of business will confirm his report.

TAXATION ON PBOPEBTT."The fact that property has not depreciated

in value, as stated by Mr. Warner, is bestanswered by the fact that taxation on propertyon 7th street above Boundary has been almostdoubled within the last two years, and its valuebat* increased more than two-fold. There arebad men engaged in all business pursuits, andwe could with the same propriety denounceMr. Warner and all the real estate men on Fstreet as dishonest and as drunkards becausesome few of them have acted improperly, andMr. Warner will not increase the value ofproperty on 7th street or elsewhere by de¬nouncing citizens who are as much interestedin the value of said property as Mr. Warner ishimself.

LEGAL ACTION TO BE TAKEN."We do not propose to allow Mr. Warner to

make us responsible for all the whisky theMontgomery people drink simply because theymust necessarily pass our places of business,or for infractions of the law for which we arein no way responsible, nor do we propose toallow him to assault and insult our wives,children, places of business and ourselves with¬out resenting it. It is notour intention to con¬test this matter before your honorable body orin the newspapers, but we ahull take such legalaction against Mr. Warner as the circumstancesdemand. We have the honor to remain, veryrospectfullv, The Saloon Keepers

IN FREDERICK COUNTY.

Prospects of Restoring the C. and O.Canal.Neighborhood Note*.

Oocrjepondence of Tin Evxxtxo Stab.Frederick. Md., August 28.

The friends in this county of the Chesapeakeand Ohio canal hare had their intereat in thequestion of it* probable restoration aroused bythe action of the Washington county peoplewho a few days ago at Hagerstown decided tohold a county convention for the purpose oftaking hold of the matter. The movementseems to savor more of business than of poli¬tics, and the canal men in this section bel.evethat with careful business management at itsbaok the canal still stands a chanco. The re¬sult of tbe convention in Washington countywill probably determine those interested her*iw to what course is best to pursue in solvingthe problem that involves the future of th*great ditch. If something is not done soon themalaria-producing condition of the ditch willprobably do the solving itself.A number of valuable and interesting revo¬

lutionary relics have been loaned to the his¬torical committee of the coming Maryland ex¬

position in Baltimore by Miss Adah Schlev,formerly of this city and a sister of Capt W.Scott Schley. Among them is a beer mugwhich Oen. Washington drauk out of on his waythrough New Jerey to his inauguration, abuckle from a British army belt found atBraudywine by Cupt. Jacob Schley, and a gavelused by the Speaker to call Congress togetherat the time it took action upon the death ofPresident William Henry Harrison.The managers of the Frederick County agri¬cultural society are agreeably surprised at the

large number of applications being receivedfrom exhibitors for space ic the exhibitionbuildings at the coming fair. The floral andpoultry departments and department of do¬mestic pets will be especially large. The man¬agers are also booking new attractions to serveas features of eutertainment for the people.A good deal of gratification is felt ijv thetaxpayer here over the announcement that thepublic schools this year will be kept open a halfterm longer than last Even with this exten¬sion of the time the term will end in Mav. ow¬ing to the usual poverty of tbe anuual schoolappropriation.a state of affairs that has ex¬isted here several years.Owuers or horse flesh in Frederick county

are alarmed by the number of fatal diseasesthat prevail at prescut among the animals.The latest is a species oi apoplexy or heartdisease, from the effects of which the horsesdrop down in the fields or stables dead.John Nichols, a witness wanted by the state

in the Show-Hooper murder case, escaped fromtbe custody of a deputy last night by jumpingfrom the second-story window of the housewhere he had been detained. He made goodhis escape.

Mrs. Samuel Garber, an old lady and wife ofthe former proprietor of the hotel at Wever-ton, was struck by a freight train on the Balti¬more and Ohio aiid received fatal injuries.Miss Lettie S. Ebberts of Washington is theguest of relatives here. Mr. Jacob Nusbaumleft today for Washington on an extendedvisit. Friends here of Congressman LouisE. McComas have news that he will arrivehome September 8. F. M.

The Black Diamond Again After Seal*.A special to the New York Htruld from Vic¬

toria, B. C., says: The Black Diamond lefthere this morning ostensibly on a trip up tbecoast to refit, but I have it on the best of infor¬mation that she is really off on a sealing cruiseinto Behring sea. The owners believe theyhave a perfectly legal right to hunt seal inBehring sea. This action shows what the popu¬lar feeling is here in regard to the LuiiedStates jurisdiction in Behring sea and herpower or her policy to enforce it.
