The Great Pittsburg Flower show

me Great P1ttsDurg Flower Show.
A Washington lady now in Pittsburg writes
to friend here, under date of November 13,
the following regarding the great flower show
in Pittsburg:
Having just read the notice of the chrysan-
themum show of j. H. Small, of your city,
remember what a glorious display of those
beautiful fall flowers we had on exhibition
last fall, and how we enjoyed wandering
through his beautiful establishment. But
Pittsburg has had this week the biggest flower
show l ever attended. 1t was given by the
Florists and Gardeners Club, in the Audi
torium, on Penn avenue. The hall is an
immense building, and was decorated with
autumn leaves and ferns.
''Suspended from the high ceiling were Jap
anese lanterns of immense size. Upon entering.
the hall one was bewildered at the fairy-like
scene. Large mounds of chrysanthemums of
all sizes and colors formed the centre piece of
the hall. Mr.. r. G. Patterson, of this city,
took the prize for the largest and finest dis
play Of chrysanthemums ever exhibited here.
The show was not entirely of fchrysanthemums,
but flowers of all kinds were exhibited. The
tube roses and bigonias seemed to attract even
more attention than the chrysanthemums.
This flower has beautiful bloom of novel ap-
pearance and only recently has been culti-
waited in the open air. 1t has become the
''fad" in the East, and is now said to be
disputing the power Of the chrysanthe-
mum. These flowers were exhibited by Mr..
b. A. Elliot. Indeed, there were so many
lovely flowers to describe, such lovely orchids,
those wonderful little flowers such worlds of
roses, such a variety of carnations, that one
knew not which to admire most. The hall
was crowded all the week, the attendance be-
ing mostly ladies. Mr. Patterson had most
beautiful tower fitted up near the entrance
where the cut flowers were sold, and every
lady carried away a souvenir of this most
beautiful flower show. NJ. E. g."

How Georgetown Was Defeated.

How Georgetown was Deteated.
On Wednesday the Georgetown Varsity
team, crippled by the absence of Mccoy,
Fleming, and Keys, went to Annapolis to play
the Naval Cadets, and for the first time this
season suffered defeat, the score being ~ to t.
The game was hotly contested on the part of
the two elevens. The Midshipmen showed
the best team work ana clearly outplayed the
Georgetowns, but that was no reason why the
umpire and referee should have helped along
the Middies. There were four decisions
against the Georgetowns and the last one con-
cluded the game, the college boys re-
fused to submit to it. While dispute was in
full chorus, the players of Georgetown
clustered around the umpire, the Academy
boys lined up and passing the ball made
touchdown. The umpire called them back
but on the Naval Academy kicking, be reversed
his decision and then Georgetown quit in dis
gust. There was large crowd present and
the sympathies were all in favor of the George
towns when the umpire reversed his decision.
The score should have been to in favor Of
the Naval Academy as 'iluke" gave them
touch down and goal. The ball was kicked
by Georgetown and one of the Naval Cadets
by well directed blow sent it spinning back
ward, and then by good piece of running
kept kicking it until he crossed the line.
There was nearly one hundred Washington
people ON the grounds to see the contest.

Mr.. smalps Chrysanthemum show.

The crowds of people who thronged the es-
tablishment of Florist Small day and evening
the past week unanimously pronounced his,
chrysanthemum exhibition of this year the
most successful he has yet given. The dis
play of the finest specimens of this magnif-
cant flower was unexcelled, and the visitors,
who were far gone with the chrysanthemum
craze returned again and again to feast their
eyes on such famous professional beauties of
the floral salons as the Miss Wanamaker, the
Lillian Bird, the Mrs. Cleveland and others.
The visitors to Mr.. Smal's show were num-
bered by the thousand. Florist from New
York, Philadelphia and other cities came here
on purpose to see the display, and they ex-
pressed great admiration at what they saw.

Judge Cravens is making name for

severe Judges that ever sat on the Police

FIRST COMPUTATION.
Governor Markham Turns a Con1
Over to the Missouri Authorities.

Governor Markham Turns Convict
Over to the Missouri Authorities.
Several days ago the UNION
published a letter written by Warden
McComb, of San Quentin Prison, to Gov
ernor Markham, stating that an agent of
Missouri had called on him with requisi-
ton papers from the Governor of Mis-
souri,, requesting that a convict, Charles
Brown, be turned over to the authorities
there to be prosecuted for murder. Brown
was serving term of eight years for rob-
berry in San Quentin, and his term would
not expire for several years. In order to
allow the prisoner to be taken back Gov
ernor Markham on yesterday committed
his sentence to l49 days, which was
equivalent to granting him pardon.
Brown was convicted last August. In
granting the communication the Governor
thus explains the situation:
The said Charles Brown has been in
dicted in Maries County. in the State of
Missouri, of the crime of murder, under
the name of Wilson Howard, and reoui-
sition has been duly issued by the Gov
ernor of said State for extradition of said
Howard, in accordance with the law and
the provision of the statute in such case
made and provided, and it being made to
appear to me that the said Brown and the
said Howard are one and the same person,
and. that the said Howard, alias Brown,
has committed heinous crime in the
murder of a deaf mute, and that he is a
desperate of the worst character, and has
been indicted also in Harlan County, in
Kentucky, of the murder of five different
persons, and also of the crime of robbery.
and believing that justice would be better
subserved by committing the sentence of
said Howard, alias Brown, and delivering
him to the agent of the said State of Mis-
souri,, to be by him taken to said State

An Exciting Five-Mile Race at til
Skating Rink.

An Exciting Ffve-Mile Race at the
Skating Rink.
There was another good evenings sport
at the skating rink last night.
The feature was a fve-mile race for a
purse, divided between the first, second
and third men. The entries were Messrs.
Laauser, Wallace, Kingsbury and Clark.
The racers were started at $50 o'clock.
Crozier and Elmo, the champions, jumped
in and set merry pace for the contest
ants for several laps, and then withdrew
for awhile, only to go in again at various
stages of the race to keep the racers
"a-moving."
Clark, Laauser and Kingsbury showed
poor judgment in trying to keep up with
CroZier and Elmo, and the result was they
soon became tired, and allowed Wallace,
who was keeping steady pace through
out, to pass them, one by one, as the race
progressed. Wallace won the race by
three laps from Clark, the second man,
and by five laps from Laauser, who
came in third. Wallace's time was 1S1
minutes.
On Wednesday evening next Professor
Lewis will give one of his marvellous ex-
hibitions at the rink.

D1sasterous Results of an Attempt to
Make a very short Turn.
Yesterday afternoon, as Willie Brown
and another young man We're plotting a
transfer wagon along Seventh street, be-
tween and X, and We're attempting to
make short turn in the street, the
wagon was overturned. The horses made
dash for the sidewalk and collided with
an awning-post and were thrown.
Young Brown was thrown under the
wagon, and dragged and rolled over the
cobblestones for several yards. When
rescued from beneath the wagon he was
found to be badly bruised and Scared,
and his right ankle was twisted and
sprained. TWAS theught that his injuries
were not serious, but they certainly are
painful.
The team and overturned wagon came
within fewsinches of colliding with a
buggy in which a lady was driving, but
her presence of mind saved her from a
serious, if not fatal accident She piled
the whip to her horse and he sprang out
of the way just in time to avoid the
threatened collision.
