WILL THERE BE BALL PLAYING?
The Brooklyn American Club Said to Be
Coming to Washington.

The dropping interest in base ball in this city
has received a slight stimulus in the way of a
rumor that was pretty widely printed this
morning, to the effect that the Brooklyn Amer
lean Association team is to be transferred to
this city for the balance of the season. A
special dispatch to the Philadelphia Inquirer
from st. Louis states:
1.-The prospects Of the Brooklyn association
team finishing its season in Washington are
very brilliant at present There is now no club
at Washington, and it is the belief of the
Brooklyn management, the players and the as
ISOLATION that the club would do better there
than on their home grounds. President Phelps
OF the association has expressed his opinion
about the legality and financial advantage OF
the move and considers it first-class one. AT
all events it is understood at present that Man
ager Kennedy will run over to Washington,
leaving the team i'll charge of Capt Gerhardt,
and make arrangements there with the Wash
ington management of the defunct Atlantic
Association team. Joe Gerhardt is Washing
ton boy, and Bill O'Brien and Ed Daily have
each played there in seasons gone by, and as
the association ball is of a great deal higher
standard than that Of the Atlantic Association
it is believed the Brooklyns will make good q
great many losses by playing there. Washing
ton is a 25-cent ball town. and large crowds
will no doubt watch the finishing contests OF
the season there, providing the Bro0klyns
make it their stamping ground"

THEY WANT TO BE POLICEMEN.
Examination of Applicants for Appoint
ment on the Metropolitan Force.

An examination was held at police head
quarters yesterday afternoon of candidates for
positions on the police force, and many men
who were already clothed in blue suits and
brass buttons were candidates. They were
from the army and navy, and some of them no
doubt were strangers in this community
Among those examined were sergeants and
corporals in Uncle Sans service, but they were
willing to be reduced to privates on the Metro
politan police force.
The recent appropriation bill made provision
for the appointment of thirty-two more men,
including two new sergeants who will be pro-
noted from the ranks. The change will also
necessitate the promotion Of fifteen men from
the first to the second class, and all of the SIS
class are now expecting to be increased to the
$50 class.
The appointments will be made as soon as
the requisite number of eligible men are found.
Or those who were examined yesterday more
than one half were rejected.

A SEASIDE CITY.
A Washingtonian's Impressions of As
bury Park.

Correspondence Of THE EVENING STAR.
AsBURY PARK, August 10.
have made three visits to this seashore re-
sort, the first in 1878. the second in 1856 and
the last in 1890. The growth Of the town has
been remarkable. Its site was a wilderness in
1870; its assessable property is now g, 500 900.
The permanent population is about 1000. and
the transient runs up in August to at least ten
times that number. There are three banks,
seven regular churches, an educational hall. an
opera house, two daily newspapers, a many
''merry go rounds" toboggan chute, sundry
places of amusement and two electric railways,
one from the railroad station to the beach. and
the other making the circuit of the town with
more or less regularity. Costly water works
supply ali houses with pure water from arte-
sian wells. There are fifteen miles OF main
sewer pipes. and the sewage is conducted sew
eral hundred feet into the ocean. From Sandy
Hook to Cape May the shore of New jersey has
been laid off in towns with narrow streets
Ocean Grove is not an exception. But Asbury
Park has many north and south avenues, each
of them from 100 to 200 feet in width The
mall on the ocean front il still wider interpos-
ing ar impossible barrier to the encroachments
Of waves on the squares designated for build
ings. The broad plank walk, the fashionabl g
promenade, extends for a mile along the beach
SO near the water that at one point the spray is
thrown by high waves to the middle OF the
walk
The town is pretty well built up, there being
comparatively few vacant lots. Its prosperity
is indicated by the character of the residences.
OF these none are shabby and very few neg
lected; they range from two thousand dollar
cottages to thirty thousand dollar houses.
Many OF the grounds are beautiful, the hui
nudity Of the atmosphere favoring green
sward, coleas and Towering shrubs The place
gives one the impression that the proprietors
are nearly all i'll easy circumstances
There is little of the ostentation of wealth.
A tally-ho coach, some fine equipagss and
| riding horses give variety to street scenes but
are the exception rather than the rule
AT low tide the beach is alive with bathers
| and spectators. 1t is good beach for adults
but not equal for women and children to the
one at Ocean Grove, the slope being sleeper
and the big waves, in rough weather, curling
ana breaking very near the shore. Last Fri
day, while none but few strong young men
| braved the buffeting of the waves at the Park,
l saw several hundred persons. including
women and children, enjoying themselves in
the water at Ocean Grove.
The municipal management of the town is
excellent. Its chief feature, the exclusion OF
drinking saloons, has been copied In several
| other charters OF watering places on the Jer-
sey coast. 1t secures good order. Last year
l am told, there were only twenty three arrests
most of them OF excursionists. WB.

ing. When the lamps and candles are lighted
and the motley crowd assemblies picnic scene
is presented. The clam and crab man is there
and red lemonade. pies, cakes and sandwiches
are sold in quantities. William Young, col.
ored man, who is the proprietor of travelling
hotel, was on the ground with his lemonade
and cakes and pies and did an extensive bust
ness early yesterday evening Later q crowd
of fifteen or twenty boys gathered near the
stand and one of them asked for glass of lem
onade for which he was to pay one cent Young
stopped over to dish glass of the refreshing
beverage when one Of the urchins blew out the
dealers light, and the boys made an attempt to
carry off the hotel. They succeeded, SO far az
three pounds Of sausage and some sweatbreads
were concerned, and only one of them was cap.
tured He was arrested by Policeman Eser
and he gave his name as William Griffin. This
morning the case was tried in the Police Court
Judge Mills wanted to send Griffin to the re.
form school, but as there was no room in tina,
institution the court imposed fine Of IS OF
thirty days.

Sent Out of the CITY,

John ". Lee, the colored man who called at
the Executive Mansion two days ago to see the
President concerning the construction of a
narrow gauge railroad in the state of Colorado
to bring fuel east for the relief of the colored
people, as published in Tuesdays STAR, has
been adjudged lunatic by the police surgeons
who examined him. Lee told Sanitary Officer
Frank that he had a valise that he left at a
blacksmith shop in Virginia across the Long
Bridge. The valise sent for yesterday and
found to contain nothing but an old pair
of trousers and a shirt. Lee still claims that
that everybody in the United States is against
him. He now says he wants 10 leave the coun-
try. as he does not believe that the President
will see him. He was sent out of the city to-

TRAVELLERS MUST BE PROTECTED.
The lives Of passengers on trains on the
| Metropolitan Branch Of the Baltimore ant
Ohio railroad have several times been endan.
| boys living near that station, who placed OBJ
structions on the tracks. Fortunately no one hal
been injured The distractions placed on the
| tracks were stones, but in each instance the
engine wheels crushed or tossed them from the
track without derailing the train On several
occasions the engineers saw the distractions,
but not until the train was too near to stop be-
fore striking them.
AN EXPRESS TRAIN IN DANGER.
Last Friday the Cincinnati express train
struck one Of the distractions mentioned and
the stone was broken into a number OF pieces
which struck against the cab. 1t was fortunate
for the engineer and fireman that they we're not
killed by the flying missiles Detective John
Lloyd OF the Baltimore and Ohio railroad made
an investigation Of the matter, and yesterday he
went to Terra Gotta and arrested Eldridge
Brown, 15-year-old colored boy, and locked
him up as one of the alleged wrong-doers. The
boy protested his innocence, but said he had
seen other boys put stones on the track. The
boy was subsequently released on 90 collateral
Before being released he told the officer tina,
he knocked two stones off the track.
IN THE POLICE COURT.
When the case was heard in the Police Court
this morning Detective Lloyd said that the train
on the down grade near Terra Gotta runs al
the rate of about mile minute and should q
train be ditched there hundred or more per-
sons would probably be killed.
q Of
press train explained the danger attending the
placing Of stones on the track and related their
experiences at that crossing. The fireman
recognized Brown as the boy who placed stones
Oh the track two weeks ago.
Two small cOlored boys, companions of the
defendant, appeared and gave evidence against
him.
The boy denied the charge. He charged one
of the witnesses against him with having
placed the stones on the track and he said thai
he BROWN knocked them off.
This boy" said his counsel, sis charged
with malicious mischief"
about malicious as any mischief could
be, added the court
REMARKS OF JUDGE MILLS.
Judge Mills said that the mind can hardly
see the consequences that might ensue from
such acts. If there was no statute against such
an offense the court would be constrained te
make rule covering it and so hlod until it was
reversed Such mischief, the court sald is al
malicious as any mischief could be. This case
Is one that should be made an example of anC
such an example that the boys living along thai
| road should know that they must not amuse
themselves in any such way. The lives Of the
hundreds OF passengers must be protected
This boy" concluded Judge Mills, ''can have
six months in Jail without fine."
Counsel noted an appeal and bond was fixed
at $500.

Hokey-Pokey Man and the Huckster.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR;
Permit me through your paper to ask why,
above all the clamoring about nuisances, there
has not been one word Of the hokey-pokey
nuisance on Sundays Why is the hokey-pokey
man tolerated in selling his abominable hockey
pokey on Sunday afternoons, disturbing the
pleasant quietness Of that day? 1t seems incon-
sistent to refuse the poor hucksters the privi-
lege OF attracting ones notice in selling whole
some food on other days when this frozen
water aud milk is yelled out at the top of the
voice and in such q screeching tone. FEC.
