GEoRGETOwNS PUGILIsTIc CHAMPION.
Georgetown's prize boxer, Joe Bateman, is
to fight in Baltimore on the 18th The man
with whom he is to have the 20 is Chase of the
Neptune Club of the monumental city. Chase
has been locally dubbed the Cyclone. and is re-
ported to have knocked out everything he has
run up against. The people o: Georgetown
think that he will this time strike snag The
men are to fight at lis pounds and will wear
light gloves. 1t is to be fight which is to
command good deal of attention, both In
amateur and professional circles, because Bate
man and probably Chase are going to enter the
ring next season. Chase is the victor of about
a dozen bouts and has never been whipped
Bateman has the same enviable record and a
longer list OF victories than the man he is
meet. The only trouble that Georgetown fears
is that her champions right hand may not be in
firs:-class condition. This is a result of his fight
with Lynch at the c. A. c. couple OF weeks
ago. Bateman's right thumb was knocked out
of place and his middle knuclle is weak. 1t
may be all right in time, but his partisans seem
to fear that it will not. He says that he will
fight under any circumstances and rely on his
worthy left to do the work. He is training
pretty hard now and working six hours per
day. George Carter and DIR. Won Lengrin are
handling him, and he is gradually coming down
to weight.
GEoRGETowNs HEALTH.
The reporter of The STAR this morning had
brief talks with several of the leading physi-
Clans Of Georgetown on the subject Of cholera.
1t has recently been asserted that Georgetown
would prove a veritable breeding place for
cholera germs. Drs. Eichey. Suter, Birdsal
Mackall, Yarnall and one or two others declare
that this is slanderous, and that these damag-
ing reports tend to destroy confidence in
Georgetown as q place of residence. This
town. they unite in saying. has a better system
OF sewers than can be found in any other part
OF the District because it is built on the side Of
hill and is washed out pure and clean
by every rain They also declare that the old
Presbyterian cemetery is only a scarecrow
True. during the CHI olera epidemic of 1892
hundreds of cholera victims were inferred
there, but the germs are long ago dead. and it
is not sure death to disturb the ground. The
remains OF many victims of the plague were
disnterred last season without any harmful

unanimous that the health of Georgetown might
be improved by few parks some breathing
spots. They say that Georgetown needs lungs.
CRUISE TO HAMPTON ROADS.
Officer Banagan Of this precinct is complet-
ing preparations for a cruise to Hampton Roads
in his old-time craft, the sloop Emmett Arthur.
He will carry down charter party of promi-
nent Washington people who are bent on wit
Messing the naval review. The party will leave
on the 14th instant. Before Officer Banagan
received his appointment on the police force he
was wel-known waterman, and his name has
often figured conspicuoCsly in the shipping
news Of The STAR. For years he and the EN-
NETT Arthur were employed in the truck, water
melon and oyster trade. The Arthur is now
being handled by one of the Chiseltine family
and visits this port two or three times a month.
1t is probable that Banagan will invite several
Of his brother officers to go along.
THE LUMBER MARKET.
| Maj. H. L. Biscoe was on this side Of the
creek day or so ago. The major is just back
| from an extended trip through the lumber dis
| tricts Of the south. He regards the lumber
| prospects brilliant. Very little lumber. COM
paratively speaking, was made last season ow-
| ing to the severity Of the weather. but now the
buzz saw is making nelodious music and get
ting in its work along all the numbering
streams White pines are becoming scare and
yellow pines are taking their place. Unusually
| large shipments are being made now to eastern
and western points. The market is strong and
| good prices will be maintained. Locally
| speaking the lumber outlook is all that the
most sanguine dealer would wish.
