The Saps Defeated.

The Sunsets and the Saps played
an interesting game of base ball
last Sunday, on the grounds of the
latter, opposite the passenger depot
on South Flores street. The score,
up to the eighth inning, was 9 to s
in favor of the Saps. The Sunsets
then set in, with grim determi-
nation to win the game, and batted
eight runs, making the score 16 to
9, and shutting the Saps out III the
last inning.
The batteries were: De Arment,
Huston, Ragsdale and Croucher,
for the Sunsets; Patterson and
Hildebrandt for the Saps.
Huston struck out DOnahue, the
captain of the Saps, which every
pitcher DOnahue has faced this
season has failed to do. Huston is
the making of a good twirler, and
with a little practice would be able
to play on the SantOnes.
Double plays were made by Green
and Crevestine, who executed two
of these for the Sunsets, and Green
and Boubel, one. A feature was a
One-handed catch of GiSh for the
Sunsets, in the fifth inning.

Congressional Proceedings and Ma
tional and State Capital Notes.
After the several propositions of
the Bland amendments to the Will
son bill had been voted down in
the House, as reported yesterday
in the LIGHT, a vote was taken on
the Wilson bill, which repeats the
Sherman purchase law. The vote
by which this repeal was carried
astonished its best friends, 240 to
ITO. OF the IL members of the
Texas delegation-Crain, Gresham,
PaSchal and PendletOn voted for
repeal; and the other nine-AbbOt,
Bailey, Baker, Bell, Cockrell, Cul-
berson, Cooper, Hutchinson, Kill
gore, and Savers, voted against the
repeal. After this vote was taken
the house adjourned, Catchings, of
Mississippi, giving notice that he
would ask a consideration of his
report on rules today.
The Senate by vote of % to 30
voted against the seating of Mantel
and Allen. This decides in the
negative the right of any governor
of any state to appoint Senator
to fill vacancy that occurs by the
regular expiration of the term,
even if the sitting legislature fails
to reach a vote and elect senator.
The passage of the act repeating
the Sherman law was received
from the House and Immediately
referred to the Senate finance COM
mittee. Voorhees,, chairman of
that committee, says that it will
receive prompt attention. Sher-
man will address the Senate on
silver on Wednesday, and WOllcOt
will follow him on Thursday. Bill
passes Senate allowing certain
Cherokee claimants to purchase
lands, not exceeding 80 acres each,
on which they had made improve
mentS.
There is disposition on the
part of some members of senate to
oppose confirmation of certain ap-
pOintments by the president where
the appOintee is nonresident of
the state in which the office is held.
Squire Phil Barbour of Austin
in deciding an election bet decides
that HOgg is not the legal demo-
cratic governor of the state.
The expert railway engineers,
appointed by the commission to
determine the cost of duplicating
the present railways of the state,
have qualified.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT.
He Robbed His Employers and was
Lucky Enough to Escape
Punishment.

In store on Commerce street
there was continual and mysteri
Gus disappearance of money.
Efforts We're made to catch the
thief, but the wrong parties were
suspected and those efforts were in
vain. The money disappeared
generally during the dinner time
and at last suspicion was attached
to an employee who is the son of
wealthy parents in the city. One
day ST. dollars was placed where
the thief could get at it and large
package was placed near it, in
which certain party was con-
cealed and in which holes were
bored to enable the watcher to see
all that was going on. When all
was quiet the suspected party
came in and apparently seeing the
coast clear he lifted the seventeen
dollars and put them in his pocket.
Soon after this he was
seized and the principal mem
Der Of the firm, called. At first
he denied all knowledge of the
robbery, but on being search the
money was found on him and
every piece was marked and recog-
niZed he saw that further denial
was useless and he made con-
fessiOn of his crime admitting
that he had taken about 500
which he had squandered away.
His friends made good the deficien-
cy and he was allowed to escape
punishment. Since then he has
left the city and it is hoped for
his parents sake that he will take
warning by the narrow escape he
has had from the penitentiary and
eschew his dangerous nefasiOus
practices.

of a law compelling all persons to
pay the taxes on their property

this way, he says, there would be
no necessity in any council eXpend-
ing money in experts to furnish de-
linquent tax lists.

In an opinion fled by United
States Judges Hughes and Goff, of the
United States District Court, In Bal
timore, on last Monday, all the points
in controversy between citizens OF
Maryland and Virginia over the
catching of oysters in Pocomoke and
Tangier Sounds and involving the
construction of the Compact OF 1873,
were decided in favor of Virginia
The opinion was not only adverse to
the claims OF Maryland, but the
judges in delivering it, emphasized
it, by declaring that the defense set
up by that State was technical only
In arriving at their conclusions, no
doubt seems to have existed in their
minds, in whatever aspect the ques-
tons before them were considered,
nor was victory less decisive and
complete expected in Virginia by
anyone at all conversant with the
points in controversy between the
two States. A reversal of that de-
cision, of course, is not expected by
anyone, if in order to crafty a few
citizens OF Crisfeld and vicinity, it is
ever passed upon by the Supreme
Court of the United States, and it is
to be hoped, now that the court has
decided in favor of Virginia, that
there will be no further depredations
committed on the part of our neigh
bors.
In the decision rendered this State
will be benefited to the extent OF
millions of dollars and every citizen
of the State, especially those of the
Eastern Shore, have the right to re-
joice oyer the great victory gained
by them, but amid their rejoicings
they should not be unmindful of the
debt OF gratitude due by them to those
hYMhom the Yic4nruwaR chieYed-
The suggestion is made by US, be-
cause of the claim which appears in
many of our exchanges, that "the
victory Virginia has secured in her
suit with Maryland regarding the
oyster interest in Pocomoke sound Is
another triumph for Attorney-Gen-
eral Scott, OF this State" That he
made gallant fight in the cause we
do not deny, but while we would not
detract one iota from the honor due
to him therefor, it is no injustice to
him to say that greater honor is due
to others-Hon. John W. Gillet and
Mr.. James H. Fletcher, Jr., OF this
county. Nor can the claim we make
for the former, be disputed by
any one who has ever read the in
comparable and unanswerable argu-
ment presented by him on the part OF
Virginia in pamphlet, entitled, "a
Review of the claims OF Maryland Of
the right of her citizens to fish
in the waters of Pocomoke sound. !"
No court could have read it, as the
tribunal which rendered the decis-
ion die, land not arrive alta correct con-
clusion as to the rights Of Virginia
in Pocomoke and Tangier sounds.
Nor could any court fail to be i'm
pressed by one so thoroughly
conversant as Mr.. Fletcher was, in
the presentation of the ques-
lions at issue before them.
Indeed We are advised that the
speech made by him before the court
showed better knowledge of those
questions than that of anyone else
and that the decision was in the line
OF argument made by him. Let US
not therefore while we do justice to
our able Attorney-General fail to
give credit to those, who if not so
conspicuous in the fight, rendered
such valuable assistance
