PETERSBURG, VA, August 9.-The
anomalous condition of municipal affairs
here has become still more complicated by
reason of an Unexpected move made by
Major Branch, the Readjuster Superin-
tehdent of Public Schools. J-At its annual
meeting this afternoon, after the Board
had elected Andrew Kevan president, and
WIN. 4. Spotswood President, Major
BTanch was called on for his report, when
hd refused to recognize the Board, on the
ground that It was not legally consti-
tuted body, none of the members having
ever qualified. Major Branch was
requested to administer the oath of
office to the members of the Board, and re-
fused to do SO. The law requires the mem
bers of the Board to be sworn into office
within 60 days after election. Although
the Board has been organized over IA years,
none of the members have ever been quail
fed, being ignorant OF the fact that 1t was
necessary to do so. After the City Superin-
tehdent's refusal, the School Board was
sworn into office by Mr.. Peasants, the Dem
ocratic, or FuDder Justice of the Peace
The Board, which is composed mostly If not
entirely of Funders, on being sworn into
office adjourned until tomorrow afternoon,
without transacting any further business.

Rodney street grounds yesterday, to witness
the game between the Defiance and Athletic
clubs. The game yesterday was the second
played between these clubs the first resulting
in favor of the Athletics by score OF 30 to
rs. The tables were turned yesterday, how
ever, by the Defiance defeating the Athletics
by a score of "a to l6. The playing in the
field by both clubs was careless, while the
batting was good. The Defiance will play

The centre of disturbance that was form

stated in yesterdays Herald, is now passing
into the. ocean off the Northern New Eng

energy south of Newfoundland. The high
pressure area moving from the northwest
now dominates the weather east of the
Rocky Mountains, except over the Lower
Mississippi Valley and southwestward.
Rains are reported from the lake regions

Uncaught Robbers,

On Tuesday night, about 1890 O'Clock, as
two gentlemen were ON their way home
along East Third street, they were suddenly
startled by female head appearing at
second story window and hailing one of the
two by name. The woman appeared very
much excited, but finally explained that
'there is a robber In the house. ! am all
alone and hear him moving about" She
further explained that ''there is a man IN
another room, but he is afraid to look. "
The two gentlemen kindly surrounded the
house, and made thorough investigation,
but finding no suspicious characters. The
whole ncighborhOod, however, was aroused
and heads and shoulders protruded from
numerous windows, every one anxious to
know "what's the matterl" After some ex-
citement the two amateur detectives
continued ON their way, the frightened
woman treasured aud evidently feeling safe
under the protection of the man who was
afraid to look for the erobbers.

A TIFF;AIATCH GAME.
A Philadelphia Broker Wins $4,000,
md Onifs ~ 3. 600 Ahenh

PHILADELPHIA, August THE great
match penny game played in Third street
on Saturday was not between brokers, as at
first reported. One of the players was
broker, and the other was man well known
IN Third street as a speculator and ffe-
quenter of the brokers' parlors.
The game was played In the brokers' rear
office, and was begun with pennies in the
merest sport. Four or five mutual friends
were present, who watched the sport with
interest. Their interest was changed to ex-
citement when the principals, rapidly raising
their stakes, were engaged in matching for
hundreds, and then thousands of dollars.
The broker'was not only successful, but
his opponent, with all the pertinacity of a
gambler who is sure that the next throw
will bring back everything, kept on reck-
lessly doubling and losing. In this way
SlS,00O and not SIP 1000, as was incorrectly
stated Ut FIRST, were won by the broker. At
that stage the game the loser began to
appreciate how largely he was out, and de
sired a chance to retrieve his i'll luck. This
the broker courteously granted, although
more than once before he had signilied his
willingness to stop at any time.
Three more trials were had, and the
amount was reduced to $1,000. Theu the
friends Of the two players sffu HAT 10 W3Is
getting late, that the broker had giveiF WI
the chances that could be demanded ofIlim,
and that he ought not to be compelled to
play any longer. Then the game came To
an end aud the broker pocketed prOmsssory
note for Sl3,OOO.

How n Beguiling Damsel Eilched the
Ducats from Cape May Swells.

CAPE MAY, August 9.-Yesterday, on a
commitment made out by the Mayor of the
city, an English couple, giving the name of
Williams, were sent to the County Prison
at Cape May Court House, to await trial on
a charge of picking pockets, the information
being entered by Mr. Barr Of Philadelphia.
The method OF operating pursued, by them
according to Mr.. Barr's testimony before the
Mayor, was peculiar. On Friday evening
last about dusk he was walking along the
beach near the Stockton House when he was
met by the woman, who is petite and pretty,
and under the pretence of having lost her
way she enlisted the sympathies OF Mr.. Barr,
who is gallant bachelor, and got him to
walk with her upto Stockton avenue, where
she said she was stopping. They
came to pretty cottage, which
afterward turned ont to he that
of Mr.. George D. McCreary, of Philadel-
phia, the gate of which stood invitingly
open, and the woman informed her unsus-
pecting escort that she was staying there.
She stopped inside the gate and when about
to take leave of Mr.. Barr suddenly pre-
tended she was seized by II spell of faint
ness, so that accommodating gentle
man was fain to seize her about the waist
and support her until she regained her
strength.
At this point a man appeared and de-
manded roughly to know what they did
there, sayiVg it was private property aud Or
dering them away. The woman fled in
stantly, but Mr.. Barr stood his grouud ,apol-
ogized and explained matters. Then he left,
when suddenly he. was prompted to look for
his pocket-book. 1t was gone and along
with it SO in greenbaeks. He hurried back,
but the man also had disappeared. Next day
he saw the couple bathing together, and at
once posted off and secured an officer They
were arrested and taken before the Mayor,
when upon being searched about $50 of the
money was found upon them. Meantime 1t
leaked out that another prominent Phlladel-
phian had been sWindled out OF 500 by the
woman in the same way a day or two be-
fore. He was summoned by telegraph and
fully identified both women and man. At the
reoiIest of the Mayor ]. Granville Leach of
Philadelphia appeared for the couple and
secured reduction of their bail from 81 900
each to $500 each, and also had them kept
out of the lookup over Sunday by placing
them under the custody of two special
officers pending an effort TO get bail.
In this they were unsuccessful and
Yesterday the Mayor committed them
for trial, as stated. A well-known. Phila-
delphia ice man was also approached by the
woman one evening last week, who en-
deayored to make victim of him, but he
was IL little to old to be taken in and threat
ened her with arrest, upon which she hastily
disappeared. The party have all the traits
about them of English professionals.

Concerninr Dead Fisli.


Considerable has been said within the past
few days concerning the dead fish found
floating on the BrAndywine, caused, II is.
said, by the dye stufis run into that stream
from the Bancroft and other mills. A visit
TO the creek this morning resulted in, no
developments of "a definite nature.
No dead fish were seen, while the
engineer at the City Mills diselaimed all
knowledge OF the matter and said that he
had not seen any fish floating
in the water for long time,
and appeared surprised, whether assumed or
not, we are not prepared to say. Several
other parties in the neighborhood were in
total ignorance of any unusual number of
dead fish, but one gentleman said he had
heard that number of defunct
eels, black bass and sunflsh had been no
ticed below Lees mills. No further infor-
nation could be obtained. The stream on
the north side, however, was badly discol-
ored with dye stuffs this morning

BORDENTowN, N. j., August 9.-It is the
intention to send the body of Miss Fanny
Parnell TO Ireland by the American Steam
ship Line. Mrs Parnell says that no re
sponse has yet been made to the cable mes
sage sent 10 Mr.. Dillon relative to the inter
ment of the remains in Ireland. The day OF
the funeral will not be fixed until Mr..
Dillon is heard from
PHILADELPHIA, August 9.-It is under
stood through semi official sources that the
proposal of the Land Leaguers to take the
body OF Miss Fanny Parnell through Ire
land will probably be a asubject of discus
sion for the British Cabinet, when the
cable asking consent is received. = q
The Foreign Office has been fully ap-
prised of the Land Leagne movement in this
city to render aid to Arab Bey, and as
prominent local members of the League are
identified with the removal project, and as,
moreover, anumbGtq qi them propose to sc-
company the remains, it is thought doubtful
whether consent will be granted, except
subject TO such restriction as will prevent
the passage Of the remains being attended
by political demonstrations. The subject
Will probably be brought up in the House
of Commons in a few days in the shape of
an Interpolation.
