Knights of ST, Peter Picnic,

The threatening weather of yesterday did
not deter the members and friends of this
popular organization from assembling in large
numbers at Beyer's park, it being the occa-
sion Of picnic given by the Knights for the
benefit of st. Peters parochial schoo'. 1t was
announced, some time ago, that the boy and
girl selling the largest number of tickets
would receive handsome present. When the
returns were made yesterday count showed
that two young misses had tied on the sale,
each having disposed of LOG, and another young
lady of 100. The masculine gender came last,
one of the boys having succeeded in disposing
of 50. So that none of the industrious ticket
sellers should go away disappointed, the COM
mittee of arrangements purchased four prizes.
Commander j. P. Barrett, in few we'll chosen
remarks, presented to Miss Maggie Ncone,
Miss Hannah Barrett and Miss Mary Waite
meyer a gold cross each, and to Master
Charles Byrnes gold medal. Among those
present during the evening was Mr.. P. NJ.
Kelly, chief marshal of the uniformed Catholic
societies of the District. The committee in
charge of the affair were James Kelley, A.
CleeVes, VIM. j. Foley, J. Fitzhugh, L. Lam

Preachers Meeting, NJ. E. Church.

The association of Methodist preachers of
this city, which adjourned in July last for the
summer, convened in the parlors of the Foun-
dry church yesterday at 1850 q. m; Rev. B.
Peyton Brown, president, and Rev. G. W.
Hobbs, secretary. There were present, besides
the officers, Rev. W. F. Speake, P. E.; Rev.
Drs. Dashiell, Owen, Deale, Norris, Black,
Laney, Leech, Mckinney, Bender, Niece, Green
and Kramer.
After the usual call for routine business, the
association took up the subject of Centennial
contribution to the support of Carlisle Col
lege, now under the jurisdiction of Rev. DR..
McCauley, president, and made an arrange
mert for a public meeting of the Methodist
churches of this city in the second week of
October, which will be addressed by Rev. DR..
McCauley and Centennial offering called for
from the friends of education in the Methodist
churches.
The remaining portion of the time OF the
association was taken up in the discussion of
questions in relation to the prosecution of the
work of revival in the churches of Washington
during the fall. Various propositions were
made in relation to the concentration of the
forces of different churches to effect the work,
and while a willingness was displayed to con-
centrate the forces of Methodism in o Union
work among the churches of Professionalism, it
was distinctly stated that but little was to be
gained by relaxing the usual influences of the
Methodist Episcopal Church to effect this
work.

RoPues at the Cauitol

Centennial and other visitors at the Capitol
should avoid being taken in by sharpers who
hang about the building and offer their services
as guides, &c, and take the opportunity to
swindle or rob them whenever presented. Max
ing rush on the stairway leading to the dome
and picking the pockets of the visitor is one of
the favorite modes adopted by this gang. A
few days since lady visitor was relieved of
her pocket-book: containing over two hundred
%:oo.:..4rs. Ca The police, under Capt Blackfori,
are scattered all over the place, and every pre-
caution has been taken to protect visitors.
Quite a number of the gentry who have come
under suspicion have been run out, and the
temporary stay Of the visitors make it almost
impossible to work up case against the mis-
creants. But short time ago one Of them
charged a gentleman three dollars 10 show
him to the top OF the dome, and attempted to
steal his watch on the way down. OF course
the gentleman could not remain and detaiu his
party to prosecute the offender. All neces-
sary information will be cheerfully afforded
visitors to enable them to see everything of
Interest at the Capitol if they will but apply
to Capt. Blackford or the force under him
They can be readily distinguished by their

A SNEAK THIEF.
Arrested on the Spot.

There was unusual excitement attending the
arrest of a sneak thief on Pennsylvania ave-
nue., near Seventh street, shortly after six
O'Clock last evening. A man was noticed COM
ing out Of the house No. 926 Pennsylya1ia
avenue, with a pair of pants, coat and other
articles OF clothing, and he was approached BY
two citizens, who rightly judged him to be
thief. The man resisted the citizens, and
when they took hold of him scuffie ensued,
during which the thief attempted to cut one of
his eaptors with a skeleton key. The arrest
attracted a crowd, and the prisoner was turned
over to Lieutenant Skippon, who took him to
the Fifth-precinct station-house, escorted by an
excited and rapidly increasing crowd.
At the station the prisoner gave his name as
Frank Cassidy. In his pockets were found a
chisel and set of skeleton keys. The thief
had entered the house at the door of which he
was arrested and gained admittance to a room
occupied by James A. Fletcher and j. R.
Askin, where he explored the bureau and
wardrobe, selecting for his plunder a coat,
pants and shirt belonging to Mr.. Fletcher, and
g pocket book, containing nothing but Con-
federate money, belonging to Mr.. Askin.
Cassidy was arrested by the detectives last
week at the request of the Cumberland, Nd,
authorities, and was held for two days, but no
dispatches being received from that place he
was discharged from custody. He claims to
be plasterer, from Baltimore.

Base Ball.

SEPTEMBER II, 1876.
To the Editor of the National Republican:
SIR: Will you spare us enough Of your val
liable space to reply to the following notice,
which appeared in the Herald of yesterday:
"The Gem base ball club notify the public
that they claim the championship over the
Our Boys;' also, notify the public that they
will play no more, as they are no fit club to
play with" The above notice both amuses
and pains us. We are amused that the Gem
"claims the championship over u.s." but the
announcement that ''they will play no more"
makes us sad, and when they notify the public
that "they are no fit club to play WITH" our
sadness takes the form OF uuspeakable an
guish. Let us hope that the man who runs
the grammar OF the Gem has made blunder.
We will not admit that the sparkling little
Gem is ''no fit club to play with" although
the announcement comes from such an author
itatiye source. 1t is true that the Gems lost
their temper in the game with US on Saturday,
charging that the umpire had been bought,
etc. This, however, in charity, we attribute
to the excitement which not unfrequently at
tends defeat. The facts are these. The play
ing was much below the average of either
nine, the score at the end of the eighth in
ming standing Gem 10, Our Boys II. The Gem
made two runs in the ninth inning, aud before
the Our Boys went to the bat the umpire
called the game on accouns of the darkness,
when it was decided in the Our Boys favor by
a score of IL to 10. 1t is unnecessary to say
to those who know the umpire, Mr.. George
Kane, that his rulings were strictly impartial
and just. "OUR BOYS"

Caution Against limitations.

The proprietors of Benson's Cspcine Porous
Plasters have found it necessary to warn the
public against bogus articles that are offered
them, under the name of "Capsicin" or "Cap-
sicum," as being the same as "Capcine;;" the
facts are that they are totally unlike the
genuine in their effect or composition, and such
lent remedial qualities Of Benson's Capcine
Porous Plasters. The unparalleled success of
this famous and vigorous medicinal combina-
ton has stimulated unscrupulous individuals
to issue articles under the above similar sound
ing words. To further protect the consumer,
we have cut the word "Capcine" in each
plaster. Their powerful vegetable properties
afford instant relief, and insure quicker cure
than any known medicine. They contain no
metallic or mineral poisons, and are superior
in their effects to electricity, and more GER
