Judge Morris. I'm the United States

es OF Harriet Ennis and Isaiah B. Tur-
ner. These are both colored and are
charged with conspiring TO defraud the
United States Government in securing
Illegally the pension of an aged colored

ing the war, served as private in Com

This was allowed in May. 1890. and
she received $2620.47 and was granted
monty pension OF $I2 The pensioner
lived In Annapolis, and for about five
years previous to 1855 was an inmate of
the Anne Arundel county almshouse
She Is now 20 years of age and is abso-
luiely without any kin In September
1888, after the pension had been applied
for, Harriet Ennis, the niece of the old
woman, came to Annapolis. took her
aunt from the almshousc TO her own
home in Baltimore. Here she still lives.
The check for 5000 AZ was received in

The Place to Build.

Murray Hill has come forward dur
ing the last week as an integral part
of Annapolis. The grading of Franklin
Street extended has been finished and
a nice, easy grade it is. You are
hardly conscious of walking up or

stretch out its aims and clasp Muir

short, hug it into prosperity. 1t is

the breathing spot of the city and

ious and handsome building lots at
attractive prices. Secure one of them,
your choice, at once. They are good

A Novel Game Of Rail.

A large crowd was present at Eastport
this morning. mainly attracted by a de-
sire to see q woman throw baseball;
and the general opinion after the game
was that as a base-ballist mans better
half is not that shining success so elo-
auently pictured in the posters that have
been occupying the fences and bill
boards of Annapolis for the past few
days Notwithstanding the inconven-
lent hour a number of people gathered
within an improvised canvas fence this
morning TO witness game of baseball
% between the champion young lady
ball players of the world and the Anna
polls club. The game consisted of five
innings and although the boys tried hard
to prevent 1t the bellies of the diamond"
were defeated by score of 8 to 5 The
Young ladies were assisted in their at
tempt to play ball by two men, but were
not materially aided thereby The queen"
who officiated in the box was decidedly
the star player of the team. and the man
ner in which she delivered a choice as
sortment of straight and crooked balls
was wonderful to behold The first base
woman and her companion on second
also succeeded in catching ball once in
a while generally with the aid of their
abbreviated skirts. In baseball language
the other members were decidedly
rocky" and before they can put up q
real good game. they will have to con-
quer their inclination 10 turn and run
every time the ball is batted in their d.
rection. The game can be best decided
by saying they played ball just as one
would imagine woman would play
ball. The team left for Alexandra, where
they were to have played game this af
ternoon.
