BASE BALL.-A portion Of match game
was played in this city Yesterday between
the Alexandria Base Ball Association and
the Interior Department nine of Washing
ton. The Interior Department nine played
six innings and made seven runs. The AS
ISOLATION nine had played five innings and
made seven runs. and had commenced the
sixth inning. with runner on the third
base and no one out, when the Interior nine
declined to play further, claiming that
it was too dark. The umpire decided that
the game must 90 on, and allowed the In-
terror nine five minutes to recommencc plays
ing. After the FIVE minutes had elapsed,
and the Interior nine still refusing to play,
the umpire declared the gamein favor of the
Association by score Of 0 to .. The Alex

The SOUTHERN TELEGRAPH CoMPANY's
TRorBLE.-The employment of men by the
Southern Telegraph Company to watch the
poles Of the company along the Washington
road to prevent them from being cut down
has been mentioned in the GAZETTE. 1t
appears that the threat to cut the poles
down was made by the Arlington Turnpike
Company, which is owned by the Baltimore
and Potomac Railroad Company, and il is
said by many that the Western Union Tele-
graph Company is at the bottom of the
whole matter. The Western Union Tcc-
graph Company pays the Baltimore and
Potomac Company so much per year for the
right of way along the Washington road.
The Southern Telegraph Company has erect
ed ill., poles along the road without paying,
or even aekimg for the privilege, and the
Western Union Company has, so the story
goes, informed the railroad company that
unless the Southern Company is made to
pay il VIII decline to further comply with
it, contract whcrcupon Mr.. wilkins, of the
Baltimore and Potomac road, addressed a
note To the managers Of the Southern Com
pany informing them that unless the poles
Oil the Washington road were removed they
would h.. al. down. The Southern Com
lany l:0lmpiE declined to remove the poles
ana riipinitu Il force or men 10 protect
them. believing that if the fort was held a
certain time the right of way would be ac-
qurrd There are now about fifty men
scattered al"n# the Washington road watch
ing the poles. 1t is not thought there will
be amy attempt Oh the part Of the railroad
mcn TO cut the poles down. The railroad
men are certainly very quiet, and, so far as
can be seen, have made no PROVISION to
carry ont the alleged threat. No one around
the depot in this city seems to know or care
anythin" about the presence of the bclligc-
rent forces on the Washington road. The
whole thing seems TO be regarded by the
employees OF the company as joke, and
some of them say if the ''watchmen don't
want to get down with malarial fever they
had better leave the Washington road
They'll be sorry they ever went there"
However, it seems to be the opinion that
the matter will finally get into the courts

are multifarious as we'll as novel, and it is a
matter of surprise how many strictly new
features can he crowded in single exhibit

RoRBING GRAVES OF FLoWERS.-There is
considerable complaint of the frequent rob-
berry from lots and graves in the different
cemeteries of this city, of flowers, &c Mr..
VIM. Zimmerman, whose three children died
in one week q short time since, reports, that
a few days ago he placed some flowers on the
graves early in the morning. and before
twelve O'Clock they had been carried off.
He says that this is the second time flowers
and other articles he has placed on the
graves have been stolen. The law against
such offences is very severe, and if the gull
ty parties are caught they will pay dear tor
their plumber. If they are fond of flowers
that had better purchase them, for the risks
are great.
