Arrival of Atlanta,s crack Military Comps

Tho Gate City Guards, a crack military
organization of Atlanta, Ga, arrived in the
city last evening ut 10 o'clock over the Balti-
more & Potomac railroad. The visitors were
received at the depot, on Sixth street, by the
Washington Light Infantry Corps which
turned ont about seventy muskots, and after u
short march up the Avenue returned to the
armOry of Company A, where banquet had
boon prepared for them. The reception ac-
corded tho visitors was Of tho most enthusi-
astic character. All along the line of march
a fire brigade" commanded by Mr.. l.. H.
hlacNichol, of tho Light Infantry, made the
scene brilliant by II magnificent pyrotechnic
display. number of business houses on the
| Avenue and Ninth street contributed a share of
| tho fireworks, and tho combined efforts almost

| looking body OF young mon, and wear q dark

mounted by white plume. They are maxi
ing tour of the Northern cities, aud had in
line last night thirty-six men under the com.
mand of Captain J. i. Burke and Lieutenant

returning to the armory Captain w. G. Moore,
in neat speech, welcomed the visitors to
Washington, a fitting response being made by
Captain Burke. During his remarks he said
that it had been stated that the Southern
military organizations were ashamed or afraid
TO carry the Stars and Stripes in their ranks.
He called particular attention TO the fact that
his company had brought starry banner
with them. This announcement was received
with hearty applause by all present. After
going through several evolutons the command
to break ranks" was given, and tho visitors
were taken care Of by reception committee
consisting of Messrs. q. w. Evans, j. Eutwisle,
w. ii. Beall, Il, Neumeyor and j. q. Cowic.
Among those who accompany tho visitors are
Mayor w. l., Calhoun, of Atlanta; Mr.. ii. l..
Colyer, Colonel j. d. o. Collins and Mr.. John
Tyo, prominent lawyers Of the Gate City.
Several members of the company are accom-
panied by their wives, the entire party mum
bering about eighty. The programme for to-
day is as follows: At 10 o'clock the Guards, in
charge OF a committee composed of active and
honorary members OF the Light Infantry will
! be taken to Mount Vernon, the steamer w. w.

Annual Report of Building Inspector En-
ty sIe


Building Inspector Entwislo yesterday sub.
mittod his report for the year beginning July
!, 1873, and ending June 30, 1879, to the
District Commissioners. 1t shows the mum.
Der of permits issued for buildings repairs,
&c, to have been 1881 at an aggregate
value of 81 ,735,7l5 Four hundred and seventy
permits were issued for brick dwellings,
AGA for repairs, 81 for franc dwellings In the
county aud GA for repairs TO frames; 90
frame buildings were removed and 81 unsafe
houses condemned. The revenue derived from
the permits was $500. The report further
states that the number of buildings erected
during the past year was one-third less than
the two preceding years, but tho value of the
buildings erected this year is equal to either
OF tue other two years, showing a better class
of structures to have been erected. number
of recommendations are made, of which the
following are the most important.
a new engine house in Georgetown in place OF
the present dilapidated building, the cost not
to exceed $1,000. Also one in the northern part
of the city, for which $4,000 will be required.
The various police stations are reported to bo
in fair condition, except tho Fifth, on Tenth
street. 1t is recommended that the 'old Cen
trail Guard-house" on Louisiana avenue be
htted up as u station, and the present house on
Tenth street given up. About $4,000 will bo
necessary to put the Central in good condition,
and as the property belongs to tho District, n
saving OF 81 200 per annum in rent could bo
effected by the transfer. A new police station
and free disponsary is recommended TO be
placed at the corner of Ninth and X streets
northwest, the building site belonging to the
District also. A sub-station at Tcnnall ytown
IS proposed, the cost of which shall not exceed
$500. The square owned by tho District on
Seventh, between o and p streets northwest, is
asked to be utilized by the erection thereon
of mako! and ssch:GG! 5s;s;',,aaing Tho report
coIoiuues Dy recommending All appropriation app.
OF $4,000 to purchase building sites and con-
struct school-hoses in place of the frame build
ings now in use in the city and county, and
$4,000 for repairs to school buildings during

The Last Game with tho Bostons.

Not much can be said by way of commenda-
tion of the playing of the homo team in their
gamo with tho Bostons yesterday. With few
exceptions IL was miserable, and the Nationals
did very little batting until the eighth
inning, when they earned two runs, and,
aided by darkues obtained two more. Tho
National nine, or rather the infeld, was
shifted again, Ellick and Mcclellan returning
to their old positions, while Latham looked
after second and Mack the first base. Latham
not only felded we'll and played the position
without an error, but rendered assistance to
Mack on two occasions when ho left his base
to get a ball. The former stepping into the
uncovered position, with Mack's aid cut of
the batter. This style of playing brought
back strong recolections Of Gerhardt and his
activity in getting on tho first base when the
regular player of that position was compelled
to leave it exposed.
Baker covered himself with glory in tho
centro.fcld, capturing iive flies, aud permit
ting nothing to escape his clutches. Derby,
In the right, had very little to do in compari
son with the day previous h.. :.:cccSS;;;.vs,i ln
two chances given him. Lynch pitched we'll,
bnt was or In his throwing, and errors of this
hinu Helpeu inc VlsltOrS TO nVe runs. AltnOugn
the Bostons made twelve runs, still they
earned but two, aud had Lynch received the
deserved support they would not have gotten
any more.
Trott caught finely, and showed himself to
bo equally as good as Snyder behind the bat.
Ellick gathered three flies to his breast and
held them there, but his throwing was not as
straight and accurate as usual.
The Boston nine gave fno exhibition of
folding and hntfa1 bpItnr thnr in tla ,nr
game. Foley was substituted for Bond in the
pitchers position, and proved effective until
tho eighth innings, when the Nationals sud
denly found out that they could hit him /;
but then it was too late, for the game was gone
and so was daylight. Appended is the score

The next club to play here will be the Provi-

day and Saturday. As Houck will now remain
home for the winter, in all probability he will
appear in the National nine on that occasion
and play left field, but in all other respects the
nine will remain as it was yesterday Snyder
was anxious to remain homo after he rot here,
but the Bostons having several stray clubs yet
to play, Harry Wright concluded that il would
be safest to take him with the team. He
offered to take Trott's place in the National
team aud Trott consented to go with the Bos-
tons, but Manager Wright would not consent
to the change at this time
The interest in baseball in this city will on

Mrs. Oliver Begging for a Hearing.

The case Of the widow Oliver against ex-
Souator Cameron is about TO receive n short
revival. Mr.. Peter, of tho counsel for the
plaintiff, has filed II paper asking the court
in banG not to entertain the motion TO dismiss
her appeal, and assigns as reasons that because
of her poverty she is unable to pay for the
printing of tho record, brief, &c., and to dis
miss the appeal under such circumstances
would bo virtual denial of justice. Second
Because to dismiss the appeal undor such cir
cumstances would DO in contraventon of the
spirit OF this Government, the Constitution and
laws of the land. Third-Because there arc
not only important questions of law involved
in the appeal, but questions of vital Importance
to the future administration of justice. Fourth
Because the issues in tho case go direct to
the character of poor, helpless female, and in
themselves appeal in strongest terms to see
that she has meted out to her the full extent
of law aud justice. Believing that it is q ques-
tion resting entirely in tho discretion of the
court, and that there could scarcely be
