cd their opening match on Friday last in Bruins
wick it'll the Elecrics of that village, and were
successful by a score of Is to l6. The game was
witnessed by quite large audience who for the
most part bestowed their applause impartially.
The Brunswick boys, determined to win, had pick
ed the best nine in the village including three
from Bowdoin College, and played strong game,
but of no avail. Crawford played the first in fine
style, as did also Potter at third. The Dirigos
played finely, Bachelors pitching was very e1ec
tive, while Parkcr's and Titcomb's play at short
and first was excellent the former taking most
difficult liner with ono hand in the 8th innings.
Libby led at the bat.
The club is under the management of some Of
the old members of the Dirigo Club and they pro-
pose to make it first class organization in every
respect. After a few contemplated changes in the
men, nine will be put in the field which will
serve to arouse some of the enthusiasm which was

WASHINGTON.
Examination of the Treasury
Robbers.

Washington, September 4. The preliminary
examination Of Theodore w. Brown, IN connec-
ton with the treasury larceny, was continued in
the police court this afternoon.
The most important testimony was the affda-
Wit of Thomas Phiihrin, who swears that about
two months ago VIM. II. Ottman came from
Washington to Baltimore, and entering his drink
ing saloon. took from his pocket $500 note and
asked to have it changed for other funds, which
was done. He had known Ottman since 1861.
The counsel for Brown objected to this affida-
Wit being received as testimony as 1t did not in
the remotest degree connect Brown with the lar
ceny of the S47 600
| The counsel for the government said that they
expected to trace q large amount of the money
stolen by Halleck, into the hands Of Gilman, and
from Gilman into the hands of Brown
The judge overruled the objection of Browns
counsel and admitted the affidavit as evidence
| Mr.. Whitney, clerk in the treasury office, hav-
ing been re called, said that at a rough estimate
the number of $500 notes issued was about S40,-
100000 which principally found their way into
the banks. The Sal 900 stolen were of the series
of 1874.
Henry o. Noyes, reporter for the Evening
Star, was called for the purpose of testfying
corning the admissions of Haeck shortly after his
arrest and concerning the larceny of money.
The counsel for Brown objected when the coun-
sci for the government replied that they prop osed
! to show by the admissions of Halleck made in the
presence of Noyes, that they could hold Brown
for receiving some part of the stolen money. The
! CpHiessiou Vi PllpCIpa IL WAS coDtenucu WAS
admissible as to the accessory.
The counsel for Brown said that from the state
ment just made the government had abandoned
the original charge The information on which
Brown was arrested charged him with stealing the
money. Now this ground was surrendered, and
the counsel for the government declared that they
could hold Brown, not for the larceny, but for
coiving stolen money. He contendcd that there
ought to be new information to the suit-a change
of position. A discussion followed.
The court reserved its decision until Tuesday
afternoon, to which time there was an adjourn
ment.
