DIVES BROKEN UP.
The Career OF "Monte Carlo" Across
the Long Bridge Ended.

The Career OF "Monte Carlo" Across
the Long Bridge Ended.
The career of the "Monte Carlo" at the
south end of the Long Bridge, has been
cut short. This has long been the resort
for gamblers from the District of Colum-
bia for years, and especially on Sundays.
The place has become so notorious of
late, through the large stakes that have
been won and lost there and the serious
consequences following, that Governor
Lee decided to take action. Major Moore
was requested to assist the Virginia au-
thorities and he detailed Private s. j..
Block, who has had q wide experience
IN gambling cases, to assist the Common
wealth.
The Jackson City Hotel was the scene
of faro bank, roulette, poker and nearly
every game at which money can be
wagered.
Most Of the players were from Wash.
ington and the game was run by five
men mostly of this city. The latter, j.
NJ. Wooden, X Myers, VIM. Burlingame,
J. James, Charles Ross, were indicted a
few days ago by the Alexandria County
grand jury. They got "tip" and were
not caught.
The authorities state that a number oil
Washington young men and some busi-
ness men have gotten themselves into
serious difficulty at Jackson City by their
losses. One business man recently lost
5000.
There were also two policy firms DOING
business on the Virginia side of the river,
and the hackers were tried yesterday and
fined heavily by the Alexandria authori.

cursions given by the club, and he

-sions of like character At l O'Clock
the club will dine at Mades' Hotel, after
which il will resume its tour of inspec-

BASEBALL sMALLTALIl.

Good enough The Joint committee Oh
playing rules have by a unanimous vote,
amended paragraph ofjoint rule 65 by
inserting after the words "wild pitches
the words "bases on balls" The effect
of this amendment is to take out of the
error column bases on balls and leave
the latter to be included in the summary,
as prescribed by rule &c. This is only
carrying out the committees original in
tention of so classifying bases on balls;
for when last March in New York para
graph was amended by adding that
bases on balls, though summarized as
errors, shall be credited as factors in
earned runs, the committee overlooked
the fact that paragraph did not mention
bases on balls in the exceptions excluded
from the error column. Hence the pres
ent amendment is merely meant to cor
rect a manifest error and cannot be cited
as precedent for material change in
the playing rules in the middle of o
championship season.

Attempted Double Murder.

ITHACA, N. Y, July Been. Dut-
ton, a farm hand, went to the house of
John Lamont, three miles east of Dryden,
last night and attempted to kill Lamont
and Miss Roat, a young oma employed
in their household. He fired one bullet
at Lamont which took effect in the face
and four at the girl, all of which took eff
feet. Her most serious injury is a wound
in the back OF the head, and her recovery
is doubtful. After the shooting Dutton
escaped to the woods, a posse headed
by a deputy sheriff hunted for him all
night and this morning his dead body was
found with a bullet through the heart. A
paper was also found at the dead mans
side marked '~'strychnine." Dutton had
been paying attention to the Roat girl,
but Lamont considered him unworthy of
her and at his advice she rejected his
suit. Dutton swore to get even with La
mont for interfering and it was in fulfill
ment of this oath that the crime was com
mitted.
John d. Lamont, the wounded man,
is a cousin of Daniel S. Lamont, Presi-
dent Cleveland's private secretary,

Washington Notes.

WASHINGTON. July 25.-The house
committee on agriculture to-day decided
to report to the house the Lee bill to pre-
vent the manufacture or transportation Of
adulterated articles of food, drink and
drugs, alDo the substitute for the Butter
worth bill, defining lard and imposing a
tax OF compound lard and regulating its
sale, importation and expectation.
The senate bill appropriating 81, 500 for
a public building at Attention, Pa, was
passed by that body to ,day. THE Allen
ton bill vetoed by the president appropri-
ated 100000.
Postmaster General Dickinson to day
issued a circular letter instructing post
masters that under the provisions of the
post Office appropriation bill recently
passed by congress. postage on seeds, cut
tings, bulbs. roots, scions and plants, will
be charged at the rate of one cent for each
Two ounces or a fraction thereof. The
former rate was one cent per ounce.

A California Ostrich EARN.

Ostrich Farm is one of the attractions
of this region, and one that no admirer
Of the feathery kingdom can well afford
to forego visiting, though it does cost
fifty cents to cross the enclosure, which
consists of a broad board fence that com
pletely prevents a ghost of a glimpse of
those aristocratic birds. l say aristo-
cratic. because they are beautiful, valu-
able, and far, far above the average fowl
in size and majesty of mien; besides, they
contribute to something more than
h mere essentials of existence.
The retinements of life are strik-
ingly suggested in those high stepping.
lofty eyed, soft plumaged creatures, that
appear to have been formed for an ardent,
exclusive, elegant atmosphere. The
manager in charge of the birds, who su-
perintended their journey from South
Africa, informed me that there were sixty
three full grown ostriches and twenty-five
chicks on the farm at the present time.
Great care must be exercised in the choice
and quantity of their food. They are Ii
able to indulge in overlooking, which pro-
duces yellow fever. They are also subject
to the disorders common to barnyard
fowls.
They make their own nests, lay one egg
every alternate day, equal In weight and
contents to twenty-eight ordinary hens
eggs. T~wenty-four days are consumed by
the hen in her retirement previous to
Matching, and fifteen is the usual number
her nest contains. The food consists of
corn, alfalfa, cactus leaves shorn of their
thorns and all kinds of fruit. grass or
grain. Every nine months their feathers
are plucked; fifty feathers is the number
usually gathered at a time. Those of the
male birds are white. The female birds
yield a variety of c%olors, but they are not
considered as valuable. A pair of ostriches
is worth $1,000. They are sold only in
pairs. Mr.. Atherton (keeper of the birds)
regards this climate as favorable to the
ostrich industry, and expresses his belief
that it will in time become quite as com
mon here as in South Africa, where every
land owner keeps his pair or two of beau
tiful irds.@California Cor. New York

The Frelght Rae War.

New YORK, July 25.-Yesterday was
probably the most disastrous OF the sea-
son in the war on freight rates. The ac-
ton of the Chicago & Alton in making
its rate 81. 20 and ~ cents per 100 pounds
on dry goods and cotton piece goods re-
spectively from New York to the Missouri
river points via all railroads has created a
great deal of comment. What is perhaps
aver more decided evidence of a prolonga-
ton in the rate war is the fact that yes
terday the tariff rates TO Salt Lake and all
other common Utah points were declined
by all other roads, These rates formerly
stood from Missouri river points on first
class, 81. IS; second, 50; third, $1.75;
fourth, $3.50; fifth, 81. 80; sixth, 81. IS.
A, 81; b, 80; @, so; ID, 10. These rates
we're suddenly without warning reduced
as follows:
First class, $2.O5; second, $3.50; third,
$1.55; fourth, 81 80; fifth, $l.l5; sixth,
$1.05. A, 92c; b, SIC; @, 72c; d. 62c.
This is the first time during the present
freight rate war that rates have been
affected further west than the Missouri
river except to Colorado points, but it is
evident that the reduction in Utah rates
is made in direct connection with the rates
of the cutting lines to Missouri river
points from this city and Chicago. This
is regarded asthe f%orernner of a reduction
in tr%ansconunental rates to California and
Oregon points. There has been no APP
parent effort thus far on the part OF any
line to restore rates except to Colorado
points. The withdrawal OF the New
