pECK'S BAD Roy.


Tomorrow night the Bad Boy will be seen at
Portland Theatre. There was good demand for
seats at the box office yesterday. The Boston
Herald says: 'Peck's Bad Boy made a decided
hit. The house was crowded, and late corners
found standing room only and precious little OF
that. OF course no one claims for the piece any
glowing encomiums from a literary standpoint; It's
merit lies in the ample opportunity offered the
Bad Boy to perpetrate his mischief, and in the
mirth-provoking situations and variety sketches
introduced MI. Dan Mason as the .GroeerYyman'
scored a decided success while Mr. Tony Williams
as the Irish Policeman, and Mr.. Harry Albaugh
as the Doctor presented some very clever char,
acter sketches. Mr.. Charles Willard, as the Bad
Boys Pa, at times brought down the house. The
piece was well staged and costumed and was
voted a success.

A CARELESSLY PLAYED GAME.
The Contest Yesterday Between the Kansas
City and Indianapolis Clubs.

The Indianapolis and the Kansas City clubs
played the second of The present series of cham
pionship games at Bruce's Park yesterday after
noon, and the ] 200 sweltering individuals who
braved the heat and dust to witness it were
treated to one of the poorest and most tiresome
exhibitions of ball playing seen here this season.
The players on both sides grew l~istless before
the gamo was over, and did not seem to care
whether they won or lost. and the errors. while
not numerous, where all costly. Each pitcher
tried to see how far he could run out Of the box
before delivering the ball, and as a consequence
several players were hit and a number given
bases on balls. TIE add to the agony the UNI pire,
Brennan, refused to enforce the rules, and
kicks" were loud and numerous. Besides
which, his decisions on balls and strikes, and
tw o or three base plays. were so outrageously
bad that both spectators and players howled
with derision. "Mardi Gras" Veach, a local
~fayorite, started in to pitch for the visitors, and
up to the third inning did very fair work, but
his arm weakened, and at the beginning of the
fourth inning he was replaced by the only
"Blllee' Taylor, who was hit hard and often,
Notwithstanding he ran half way up to the bat
ter before delivering the ball. McKeon and
keenan, were in the points for the home team,
and Larry's magnificent pitching was about the
only special feature of the game. He struck out
ten men, and was hit successfully only five
times. The visitors secured all their runs in the
first and sixth innings, none Of which were
earned, while the home team earned five of their
runs and scored in every inning, except the first,
fourth and ninth. Poorman led the batting
with three singles. and McKeon was a close sec
ond with a single and a triple. The base run
ming was not up to the average, and the game
was otherwise devoid of interest. Following is
the score:

A Chinaman Robbed.

Sam Sing has a laundry on Virginia avenue
near Washington street. Yesterday morning a
young man whom he described as short, we'll
dressed. and of genial address, called on Sam.
He caused the guileless Chinaman to turn his
eyes to a triding object in the room while he
seized the money box within easy reach. Sam
turned to his visitor in time to see him making
hurried steps for the door. The thief was caught
by the Chinaman, whose shouts quickly brought
to the scene fifty interested spectators. They
watched the struggle that took place and saw the
thief run down the street, leaving the box in the
heathen's hands. AS the box was all right they
thought the contents must also be there, and
made no attempt to capture the rascal. Sam
opened the box and found that the young man
had carried off $40. He howled in rage and then
dashed for the station-house to report his loss.

Government Books.

Washington Letter.
! was talking to-day with the proprietor Of o
iarge second hand book store into which most of
the books published at government expense find
their way. He says he handles thousands of
copies every year-he can't say how many thou
sand. These books are chiefly reports, some
very valuable, published by the government and
divided among the congressman to be circulated
among their constituents.
DO you buy these books of members2n /
asked.
mo, not generally, /" replied the dealer, taking
a seat on a case full of gilt-edged poems,
speeches by bob" Ingersoll, and Patent Office
reports, marked choice, % cents. mo, we don't
generally buy them. I am glad to say there
aren't many men in Congress mean enough to
sell them. There nave been a few, but they did
not come back. Generally we trade. We act as
a sort of clearing house, through which mem
bers trade books they don't want for those
they do. Members from the rural districts want
agricultural reports and the like, while members
from the city care more for scientific works.
They exchange them for the others. / handle
wagon loads of books in this way. Some of
them, like the Surgical History of the War"
sell as high as $50. 1t would astonish you to
know how much money members of Congress
spend in books for their constituents. Some Of
them spend a thousand dollars a year.
"Who buy the most?'
western men generally. Ben Lefevre buys
a great many; Latch, of Missouri; Morrison and
Paige buy many. / sell Charlie OfNeill, of Phil
adelphla, about as many as any one, and Sam
Randall has bought as many as 800 worth in q
year: he buys everything his constituents ask

DEATH FROM AN OLD WOUND.
The Fatal Result of Robert Whelschel's Fall
in an Epileptic Fit a Year Ago.

About a year ago Robert Whelschel, thirty
two years of age, a well-to-do farmer, of Hamil-
ton county, while driving into Noblesville, fell
from his buggy and his head was caught under
one of the wheels, cutting the scalp about an
inch and a half, down to a point on the left fore
head, thence by a center line to the right tenn
pie, causing an ugly wound. Whelschel had
for years been subject to ~epileptic attacks, and
it is thought one of these caused the fall. He
was unconscious when discovered a short time
afterwards. DR.. A. r. Booth, of Noblesville,
dressed the wound, but it refused to heal on
account Of dirt and sand that had been left
in it. During the year the sand
and dirt passed at times from
return of epilepsy. He went about his bust
ness, did much on the farm, and appeared TO-
bust, but the wound troubled him severely at
times. He brought suit for 1000 damages
against DR.. Booth, but the case is still pending,
and is on the docket for trial next September, in
the Hamilton County Circuit Court.
A week ago last Wednesday Whelschel came to
charge of DR.. W.. S.. Raymond. Last Monday
DR.. Raymond, assisted by two other surgeons,
operated on the wound, and took from it a lot of
f fhejr and nat;snt sand, had and ss.n f s"ffsr;n. that hat
a long time from a fracture of
the skull. On Tuesday Whelschel became worse,
and rapidly passed into Inconsistencies, in
which condition he remained until yesterday
morning, when he died, at the residence of his
brother-in-law, S. B. Helms, No. 40 Arch street.
The family are fully satisfied with DR.. Hay
mond's treatment of the case, and say that had
there been no operation Whelschel would have
died, sooner or later, from the effects of the
wound. The remains are to be sent to New
Britain, a village near Noblesville. to-day, by
Kregelo & Whitsett.
