SOUTH WASHINGTON.

A large majority of Juvenile South
Washington adjourns every evening to
the improvements on the site of the old
river flats to toss ball and otherwise
cavoot This is as it should be. Improve
ments have progressed so rapidly in
that the boys are being surely and swiftly
frozen out in the matter of play grounds,
whereon they can expand their young
muscles, eject some of the effete atmos-
phere of the school-room from their young
lungs and utilize portion of that joyous
animation and superabundent vitality,
which is one of the most precious heir
looms OF youth.
Seventeen to two at the Washington
Baseball Park Yesterday was even too
much for the equanimity of the South
west, However, TWO out of three from
King Kel's combination is not such bad
showing up and if the boys should
go one better, that IS to say, be
beaten by seventeen to one next time,
there is still reason for hope, as King Kel
will return once more to WELD the ashen
sceptre before the season closes.
As Il street from Virginia avenue to
Seventh street has been rendered servic-
able as well as ornamental by one of the
handsomest of asphalt pavements. 1t is
to be hoped that the Commissioners will
continue their creditable work and as

This portion of e street, thanks to the
enterprise of Messrs. King, Emmons,

STONED THE ROYAL Blue.
A Washingtonian Badly Injured by
Stone-ThrOwing Miscreant.

Washingtonian Badly Injured by
Stone-Throwing Miscreant.
The Royal Blue train which left Wash
ington at 1855 o'clock yesterday morning
was stoned by some miscreants Just after
passing the Relay House, and nearly
caused the death of a resident of this city.
The train was plunglng along at the rate
of fOrty-five miles an hour, when there
was great crash of glass in the ladies' car
and huge stone weighing three pounds
came flying through the window. The
stone struck Mr.. Edison, of this city, who
was sitting on the seat directly opposite the
window almost full in the face cutting it
badly The flying glass fell in showers
upon and fearfully bruised him about the
head, face and hands. Editor keiber, of
the Frederick Examiner, who was in the
seat in the rear of Mr.. Edison, was badly
cut about the face and hands by the flying
glass. Several of the ladies faintei and
for while general CONSERVATION reigned.
When the train reached Baltimore Mr..
Edison had his injuries dressed and pro-
ceeded on his way, although very weak
from the loss of blood. The company's
detectives are investigating the case.
The dastardly habit of stoning passenger
trains passing through the outskirts has
resulted in several serious accidents. A
number of boys in this city have been ar
rested for the offense and fined, but the
railroad officials complain that the prac-
tice has by no means been broken up.

name of DIR. Clardy i'll nomination for the
Governorship.
The committee on resolutions adopted
a resolution favoring the free coinage of
silver.
The committee on credentials were una
BILE to report owing to the large number
of contested delegates, and at IL o'clock a
recess was taken until o'clock this after
noon, There is every prospect of bitter
struggle before the delegates whose cre-
dentials are protested will be allowed to
take their seats.

PERHAPS AS GOOD an example of official
perversity as has come to the surface re-
Gently is the action in connection with the
selection of a site for the Lafayette Monu-
ment. The judicious reioiced when it was
decided that it should not be so placed as
to obstruct the view of the MILLS Jack
son. But they were somewhat disap-
pointed when it was set up at the south
east corner Of the park, position utterly
out of keeping with aesthetic congruity.
Weary of protesting, however, the public
yielded gracefully to the situation, and
proceeded to admire the statue without
reference to its location and surroundings.
But now the authorities have consum-
mated their seemingly childish determi-
nation to have their own way at all
hazards. In other words the space to the
south of the Jackson statute, which was
put in readiness to receive the Lafayette
Monument before the action of Congress
in the matter has been turned into
flower bed and is filled with large plants
which cut off the view of JACKSON ar i
his charger from Pennsylvania avenue
almost as effectually as the Lafayette
group would have done. 1t is true it may
be claimed that the glimpses to be had of
the statue from either side of the flower
bed give plquancy to the scene. Never
theless, when we consider the reasons
given for the change of plan with refer
ence to the Lafayette Monument, it is not
easy to understand why the view was not
left as unobstructed as it was originally.
IT is possible that Senator BATE, who was
so earnest in maintaining that the bronze
Jackson should remain monarch of all
he surveyed, will find some difficulty in
giving verbal expression to his feelings
when next he comes to town and sees
what has been done.

THE CHARLESTON and the Esmeralda
are in material respects about evenly
matched. The slightly larger calibre of
the Chilian's big guns would constitute a
great advantage were the ships regular
irOnclads, but as they are only protected
cruisers, a six-inch shell will do as much
damage as an eight-inch if il happens to
hit. As Tor the Esmeraldas torpedoes,
they amount to nothing if the Charles
TONS superior speed enables her to keep
ont of range, and that is what is ex-
Tectcd. Barring chance shot from the
Esmeralda disabling the Charlestons
machinery, the latter should be able to
thrash and sink or capture the Chilian in
very short while. Her guns are better
and hey officers and men much more
efficient. Nobody seems to be in much
doubt as to the result Of collision
though there is always the possibility Of
that chance shot. A proiectile hurled
from an eight or ten-inch modern gun
has large capacities of harm, and must
not be regarded lightly.
