CRICKET.

The st. Louis Team vs. the st. Georges
How the Western Rangers Playa
Close Game to BE Finished To-Mor-
rOw-SkiH at the Bat and Science
with the Ball.
Yesterday the challenge match between the st.
Louis eleven and the St. Georges took place upon
the cricket ground at Hoboken. The st. Lousans
have been playing q series OF matches through
Canada and the United States and their team s
composed of great. brawny men, 1.-the and supple
as sons OF Hercules. The ground was in capital
condition and the attendance was select in the ex-
treme, the feminine friends of the contestants
mastering in full force.
The ST. Georges won the toss and sent their Op-
ponents to the bat, Jones bowling from the upper
and Smith from the lower end-Sharpe and Rich
ardson at the wickets. Sharpe got caught by Smith
at slip of the first ball delivered and Mordaunt
supplied his place. They made some pretty play
before Mordaunts wicket was knocked down by o
ball from Smith. Two wickets for seven runs.
7. Dale came IL next and made nice drive for
three before Smith drove Richardson's or stump out
OF the ground. Dales middle wicket was taken by
Smith. Dale played carefully when mated with Mr..
Temple, the Captain OF the st. LOUIS eleven. On
In Smiths place, and took Mr. Temples left stump
after that gentleman had scored nineteen
Jeffreys made two before he was bowled by Cash
man, and Lycett reigned in his stead. Day was
"the willow p Moeran bowling in place of CASH
man. On the second delivery Lycett was run out
by clever throw Of Eyre's. West went in and
Jones took Smiths place on the bowling. Moeran
keeled over his Oil stump in double quick time,
ending the inning. Game, st. Louis -o
rhe St. Georges sent Sleigh and eastman to the
wckets, the Red Cross knights Of ST. LOUIS lying
well out in the Held. The bowling was very wild
throughout this inning. Sleigh took Richardson's
OF stump, Mordaunt sent Jones' middle wicket
to grass, ana eastman was magnincently caught
at short slip by Sharpe. Moeran succeeded him,
and Dale was bowled Of his pad when he had
run the score for his side up to A. Lennon, who
next assumed the "wiow wand" was ultimately
run out on account OF the superb fielding
OF the st. LOUIS eleven. Satherwaite was
beautifully caught by Jefrreys on the wicket,
and Talbot succumbed to one OF Dale's shooters.
Grainger's leg stump was Overset by Dale ana
Eyre was well caught at long field by Sharpe.
Green took his stand and ''carried mis- bat"
though he made no runs, being bowed by Nor
daunt before he could accomplish his promises
Then the st. Louis crew took the bat for their
second innings, Sharpe and Esenbergh going IN to
the bowling of Moeran and Jones. Eisenbergh's
middle stump soon 1el and Temple played a few
balls in graceful style before the hour arrived at
which ''game" was agreed TO be called.

COURT or SPECIAL SESSIONS.

Before Judges Bixby, McQuade and Ledwith.
Michael Stanton was arraigned at Special ses-
sions yesterday, charged by Thomas Murphy with
assault and battery. Murphy's face presented
very woeful appearance. Both his eyes were In
mourning, and his nose ana mouth
cut and swollen. His couDtenance, in TACT,
was the best evidence Of the assault
When stanton was asked what he had to say or
himself he commenced to tell the Judges long
story lie said that they were both members OF
the crew OF the lost steamer Atlantic, AMI at the
time OF the wreck Murphy took three pair OF boots
OF some OF the drowned passengers ana refused TO
give them TO others OF tile shipwrecked who had
nothing TO protect their feet. He was Interrupted
by Judge BXDy two or three times but he seemed
determined 10 Keep on until lie mad to be SUM-
marlly stopped. However, when he was brought
DOWN 10 tne actual time OF the assault he admit
ne struck murphy, but contended that Murphy at
lackcu nm nrst, on account OF an old grudge arls
lng out OF what took place at the time OF the wreck
OF the Atlantic. stanton was sentenced to one
months imprisonment in the Pcnitcntiary.
just as stanton was being tax en- down stairs the
complainant saiu:
Judge, he's the man that cut the woman's
finger to get ring on.r
Marricd and settled.

Kenny. Ellen Kenny came forward. She was a
slight, delicate woman with thin pinched features.
Both her eyes were discolored. ana other parts OF
her face were bruised. She stated to the Court
that Milton Kenny, her husband, had beaten and
abused her. Milton stood at the railing,
his own face showing that he had
not come out oi tbe battle unscathed as his nose.

The Bostons Badly Defeated by the
Mutuals-Score 13 to B.
The game between the Mutual and Boston clubs
on the Union grounds, yesterday afternoon was
played in the presence of goodly assemblage, and
was won by the New Workers with the utmost ease.
The betting at first was nearly two to one in favor
OF the Hubites but after the seventh inning turned
to the Mutual's favor. The Bostons went first to
bat and were neatly disposed OF in the order Of
striking, alter which errors by G. Wright,
ORorke and White gave the Mutuals
single run. The visitors were again white
washed In the second inning, and then
two good Dase hits and passed ball secured
another run Or New York. Both sides were
banked in the third inning, double play by G.
Wright. Barnes and ORorke marking the fielding
the part OF the "Reds." Barnes, Spaulding,
Addy and O'Rorke batted we'll in the fourth inning
and succeeded in getting IN two runs for their
side, but the Mutuals again failed to score. No
more runs were obtained until the seventh inning
when the New Workers cOntented themselves with
seven, when they should have been whitewashed.
The game was now irretrievably lost to the
"Reds, who, nevertheless, played steady uphill
game, but to no purpose.
In fielding Gedney and Eggler did some fine work
for the Mutuals the former victlmiZing no fewer
than seven ''red men,

BUSINESS IN the OTHER COURTS.

There was considerable more talk yeste rday in
the Court OF Oyer and Terminer. before Judge Fan
cher, in the case of James NJ. Johnston and James
Y. Yates indicted for alleged completely in the
New Central Railroad frauds. The question of
their admission to bail is to be argued in the same
court this morning AS will be seen by the report
elsewhere OF yesterdays proceedings, most aston
fishing revelations are promised on the part OF the
District Attorney. AS giving the other side OF the
story, the affidavit OF Johnston will be found
specially interesting
The case OF Mrs Mary Coates. the woman charged
with burying child all but its head, and thus
causing its death, was temporarily settled yester-
day by Judge Fancher in the Court Of Oyer and Ter
miner. Afidavits were produced showing that she
acted in accordance with physicians advice, and
upon this the Judge ordered her discharge, in $500
bail, from the Penitentiary and the question as to
the jurisdiction Of the Special Sessions the mat
ter to be settled at the Supreme Court General
Term.
Comptroller Green, as will be seen by the report
below got badly worsted yesterday in his effort to
prevent one OF the women cleaners OF the new
Court House getting her pay. She came the
mandamus on him, and he has now to come down
with the money to her.
case of an alleged Illegal seizure came up be-
fore Judge Blatchford. in the United States Dis
trct Court, yesterday. The assets OF Mr.. w. Ii.
Hurst, bankrupt, were placed under the control
OF the Court, and were subsequently seized without
legal process. Judge Blatchford refused to grant
An order for a sale OF the goods by the register on
the ground that the goods were not properly in the
hands OF the assignee.
Edward Stetson, captain OF the American
schooner Frances Sattery, gave $500 bail before

ONE OF TEE COURT HOUSE
CLEANERS.

Victory Over the comprehensive Is
Compelled to Come Down With the
"SOap."
Those In the habit OF visiting the new Court
House sometimes find 1T difficult to thread their
way through ITS labyrinthian marble Railways on
account OF the multitude Of women employed in
sweeping and scruDbing the hars-a duty likewise
extending TO the stairways and lower ro oms
Among those thus employed was Mrs. Mary Had
ley. 1t appears that during period OF six months
this woman, through an accident. was prevented
from doing herself her portion OF the work
anc got ner daughter ana some OF the other
women to do the work for her. The
County Auditor, Mr.. Earle refused, however,
to audit her bill, and the Comptroller, Mr..
Green, refused to pay her 1or these six months,
Mrs. Hadley accordingly employed Mr.. Abraham X.
Lawrence to take up the cudges IN her behalf,
application to Judge Fancher, at Supreme Court
Chambers for mandamus against Mr. Earle, to
Comptroller to compel him to pay it. Judge
Fancher gave yesterday his decision in the case.
He decides In her iavor, and delivered hs decision
in the following OpniOn:-
OPINION OF JUDGE FANCHER.
"The claim OF the relator in the proceedings was
audited as county charge by the SUPERVISORS. She
had been paid on account OF it $lo4, leaving
balance due OF s3l2 For the period between sep
been PAID, although there is an .approprla-
tion Tor such purposes. think the
ihs ane % he @ a WAS ~ ads as
rendered to the county. 1t IS very doubtful
whether the Auditor, or even the Comptroller, can
now disaliOw the claim where no fraud or mistake
Is alleged. Although the reator was disabled by
an accident from personally performing all the SER
vices 1t appears tney were performed 1or her by
her daughter and others No injustice will be done
TO the county by payment for services which were
In good faith thus rendered. The claim Is more
over legal and just. mandamus must issue Tor
the payment OF the claim, and to obvate any TECH
nical difficulty IN the way OF the Comptroller the
Auditor must be directed also by mandamus to
audit the claim for the amount OF the balance due
the relator. Perhaps such an audit is necessary.
