A terrible story is reported from America.
Four or five men, arrested for wrecking
trains on the New York Central Railway,
have, it is stated, made a full confession.
They say they were engaged in plots for
wrecking trains, one at least OF which sue
ceeded, and that they were encouraged by
men connected with the huge Trade Union
known as the "Knights OF Labour,' the
greatest workman's Association in the States,
One of these men, according to the Ddity
NeMs' correspondent, has fed to Canada,
why're, we fancy, there will be no hesitation
about his surrender. The mems story re-
quires, of course, Investigation, but it is ac-
companied by details of the attempts, which
can be tested, and it has, according to the
same correspondent, destroyed all sympathy
with the s'Knights of Labour." AS we have
argued elsewhere, there is no antecedent
improbability in the tale, crimes OF the kind
rather increasing than diminishing; but it
should be added, in justice to an immense
and unpopular Association, that it is impossi-
BILE the members, who number nearly a mil
lion, should have known anything OF such
plots, and most improbable that they will

again next spring.
The Columbias will give their second athletic
entertainment on Saturday evening next at their
clubhouse. From the way Professor Crossley
is hustling it looks if they expected to eclipse
their first efforts. There will be the usual aero
batic and calisthenic work by members, fencing
by some of the best with Professor IIeintz, and
Messrs Irwin and Wade and Green and Carter
will have another set-to with gloves. Another
interesting sparring bout will take place between
Walsh and Bolway, two of the best players of
the ball team. Then Mr.. Kerr of Wilmington,
Del, member of the c. a. c. and the Warren
A e., of Wilmington, is giving Day, Johnson
and Renier points in GrRco-Roman wrestling

II. Z. Elmore, of the C.. A. c., will row in the
crew next season. AS Potomac oarsman he
was No. !, and he will unquestionably be as
popular in the G. A. C.. His friends in the Po-
tomac Club were sorry to lose him, as he was

organization.
The Analostan Club are willing and eager
to cooperate with the other clubs of the District
in the arrangement of joint regatta. This
club, though non-competitiye organization
as far as rowing events are concerned, has
always shown progressive spirit.

TruXtun Circle.

To the Editor Of The Sunday Herald:
While monuments perpetuatng the fame of
those who have lived and died within our ken
are as thick around us as the leaves of Valam-
brosia, those in honor of the heroes of the past
generation are comparatively few and far be-
tween. Perhaps the glorious shaft reared by
grateful country to its Father has, like the rod
of Aaron, swallowed up the rest In reverting
to those times which tried mems souls, again in
imagination Washington marshals his shadowy
legions, and among those dead heroes none were
drawer than was Commodore Thomas Truxtun
one of the first six chosen by the first President
to guard the interests of our infant Navy
History tells us he fully justified the confidence
reposed in him. For his humanity to prisoners
taken during our struggle for Independence
London association presented him with superb
silver urn lined with gold and surmounted by
solid silver statuette of the Goddess of Liberty
This is in the possession of a grandson, Gen. L.
F. Beale, gentleman upon whose shoulders the
mantle of his ancestor has gracefully fallen.
Congress voted him gold medal and vote of
thanks for gallant conduct in the action between
the Constellation and La Vengeance. This is
now owned by great-grandson, Thomas Trux-
tun Houston, promising young banker The
Department, in officially acknowledging the
tidings of Commodore Truxtun's brilliant
achievement, added: 'But this is nothing more
than we expected of the gallant Truxtun." The
hero was blessed with one son and eleven
daughters. Aaron Burr Ga most competent
judge termed them 1.-THE beautiful TruxtuHs,"
an attribute which clung to them when most of
their contemporaries had fallen into the sere and
yellow leaf and its accompanying loss of per-
sonal charms. One of these beautiful Trux-
tuns" was Mrs Emily Beale, the late owner of
the estate upon which the new circle is located,
and through which the new streets are being
made Possessed of rare business capacity, she
transmitted, unencumbered, this fine suburban
property to her children, while the contiguous
estates of her friends have long since passed
into the possession of strangers, Her husband,
George Beale, was also officer of the United
States Navy. For bravery displayed in the
action on Lake Champlain Congress voted him
medal, now in the possession of our fellow
citizen, George N. Beale, whose popularity goes
without saying. Adjoining this section of our
beautiful city is the estate formerly owned by
Mr. Joseph Gales. Mr., George Truesdale, the
Hausmann of Washington, touched these dead
lands of lexington, and there sprang forth
suburban settlement of lovely villas and fine
streets Streams of revenue will doubtless re-
ward his energy and ability. Those in quest of
rus IN tirbe could nowhere find loVelier or more
advantageous portion of our District than within
the vicinity of Truxtun Circle to pitch their
tents. X.

nttely it can be set down as FACT that not
single player will be signed by the League or
American Association. No one to-day knows
where all the players will go, although it is
stated that if the Bostons, Philadelphias, and
Chicagos admitted into the circuit of the
American Association they will be allowed to
take the pick of the players who were with
them in the Players League. This seems at
least to be the drift of public feeling. The
League will adopt measures looking toward
proper assortment of the players, as it would be
market for the highest bidder. 1t would play
havoc with the small clubs and the rich ones
would get all the star players. Therefore it
can be stated that until the matter ut stake is
settled there will be no signing of players.

BASE BALL.
The Baseball Club Organized.

The Washington Base ball Club was organized
on Friday evening at a meeting of the share
holders in the Kellogg Building. The meeting
was representative one, as there were present
bankers, merchants lawyers, brokers, CON
tractors, doctors, and other business and pro-
fessional men, and the club starts out on a
brighter road than has marked any previous
movement looking TO the establishment of a
ball club here. From the character of the di-
