Balls on last Friday evening. The at
tendance was not SO lar &c AS on former
occasions, owing no doubt TO the recent
deaths and to the sickness and indisposi

some what smaller than usual. the Ban

giving the best dance OF the year, there
being about seveniy-tiye couples present.

FRED INNEs' CONCERT.
An Enthusiastic Audience at AIbaugh's s
Opera House Last Night.

An Enthusiastic Audience at Albaueh's
Opera House Last Night.
Fred Innes and the Thirteenth Regiment
Band were given what fell little short of an
ovation at Albaugh's last night They had
comparatively small audience, some 400, but
what was lacking in numbers was made up in
intelligent appreciation of good music. A
thrill of sympathy that greeted the close OF
the first number, Wagner's Tannhauser over
ture, with an encore grew in intensity till en-
thusiasm reached its height at Innes new
march. Just before this was presented the
conductor stepped TO the footlights and said:
at is with some natural diffidence that in
the original home Of the two-step march
offer a composition of that order. / hope it
will be received with as many good wishes as
there are persons present. 1t is brand new and
dedicated to the national encampment of the
Grand Army at Pittsburg and named in honor
OF the Chronicle-Telegraph which was
mainly instrumental in taking the encamp-
ment TO that city. l have so written it that
have introduced toward the close several
bars of the Red. White, and Blue. l make
this explanation because after we had played
with success at Chester the other day gen
tleman came to me and said: But, Innes, you
have plagairized a part ofsyour composition.
In amaZement and chagrin l asked: What
part. pray? What from?' 1t is some bars at
the end, he answered 'from-from, l don't
know. Annie Laurie, or something else, I've
heard somewhere.
And in the midst OF a ripple of laughter the
band struck in upon the new composition.
At the close prolonged and energetic ap-
plause compelled a double encore, in which
the young composer and conductor seized his
trombone and himself led the playing with a
vim and finish that wrought the audience into
a sweep OF enthusiastic enjoyment, in which
all else was forgotten.
Mr.. Bowman Ralston sang an air from
''The Magic Flute very acceptably. He has
a well trained bass voice, but not altogether
musical on the lower ranges. Mr.. Herbert
Clark strong rendition OF the "Whirlwind
Polka" brought him vigorous encore Mr.
Clark is not Liberati, but he PLAYS the cornet
very well; his handling of the long trill in
volyed in the composition he first gave last
night is hardly surpassed by any artist.
Miss Miner sang with artistic skill the waltz
aria from "Romeo andlJuliet, and on an en-
core, the Last Rose OF summer" The
Tell overture was given with'an eyenness of
excellence that heightened the delight with
which it is always heard.
Innes' descriptive fantasia inspired the aud
ience to a second outburst almost as enthusi-
astic as that accorded his march. The points
most noticed in ii were a wild Dahomeyan
song and Dixie, and other popular music at
the close. The other numbers were we'll re-
ceiYed.

DEsPoNDENcY LED TO DEATH.
John Patterson Took Dose of Rat Poison
to End His Life.

John Patterson Took Dose of Rat Poison
to End His Life.
A thorough search, made at the morgue
yesterday, of the effects. of the man whose
dead body was found in the grounds at the
Soldiers Home on Saturday, disclosed case
of suicide a box of death to Rats" partly
used, having been found in one of the coat
pockets.
During the afternoon Miss Chan Patterson,
of No. 1915 Fifteenth street northwest. called
at the morgue and identified the remains as
those of her brother, John L. Patterson, who
had been missing from mis- home since
Wednesday last.
Patterson was native OF North Carolina,
from which State he was appointed to clerk
ship in the General Land ONCE in 1883. He
remained there ten years but lost his position
after the change of the administration ABOUT
a year ago. since which time he had been
very despondent. His sister, with whom he
made his home, noticed this, but tried to en-
courage him as much as possible, and as he
had expressed desire to try to get employ
ment in some other city, she had arranged to
give him SIS on the day of his disappearance
in order that he might not be destitute of
money in a strange place.
Before leaving his home on Wednesday
Patterson asked his sister to give him little
money. She did so, and with this he. it is
supposed, purchased the box of poison and a
half pint of whisky. After securing these
articles Patterson evidently made his way to
the Soldiers Home, and the same day COM
mitted suicide The remains were in an
advanced state of decomposition, and the
only way that Miss Patterson knew that the
body was that of her brother was by identify
ing his collar and some small trinkets in his
possession.
The suicide was about forty-1ve years old.
One of his sisters is lying at the point of
death and another is in had health. A
brother teaches school at Warwick, Cecil
county, Nd.

The London Field in its yachting article
Saturday SAYS that Lord Dunuayen and the
others who form the syndicate which will
build n yacht to challenge for the America 5
cup desire that the next contest for that
much-coveted trophy should take place off
Newport, r.. l.. instead Of in the vicinity of New
York, in order that the contesting yachts may
avoid being harrassed by excursion steamers.
Il is also suggested that the challenGers

I'll some time near the date set for the races,
so Ihat in case several yachts building they
can select the best. The dimensions it is also
proposed should be stated according TO the

Another point awaiting decision is the
length Of the load line and measurement with
the crew on board. 1t is argued that eighty
feet load line should not be exceeded.

CRISP SPORTING COMMENT
Senator's Are Now Sailing Clear Of the
Bottom Place.
GREAT FIGHT FOR THE PENNANT
Baltimore, Boston and New York Are Hav-
ing 1t Nip and Tuck in the Struggle for
the Championship, with the Others Out of
It-sports of All Sorts.

The Senators are scheduled to play to-day
at Pittsburg and then return home to meet
the ST. Louis Browns for three games, COM
mencinG tomorrow afternoon. The Won der
Abe boys are putting up strong game and
they will give the locals a tight rub for the
honors. Last week the Browns beat Boston
two out Of three and thereby earned the thanks
of the Baltimores for downing the cham
pions. Manager Schmelz has secured Pitcher
George Haddock and the latter will join the
club to-day. Sir George is the only rival on
the diamond of viii Terry for the title Of
'Adopis" and he is we'll known to Washing
tonians, having been a member of the local
club several years ago. George may pan out
all right, as he claims to have entirely recoy-
cred from a sick spell. which temporarily put
him out of the business.
The Washington times., 1894-09-03

What an interesting struggle is the pennant
race, with Baltimore. Boston. and New York
all in a bunch at the top of the heap, with all
three playing ball for all it is worth. The
Orioles are just now the leaders, and they
will not give up the position without stub
born fight. That the Baltimores are out for
the honors is evident in their efforts to
strengthen the pitching corps. Hemming,
the crack of the Louisville team, is the latest
acquisition, and he should prove a decided
help to his new love. No other club in the
League is putting up better fielding game
than the Orioles. and their batting is also
very strong. Boston does not appear to be
playing the best of ball. and unless an i'm
proyement is soon shown the Beaneaters
viii have to take a back seat. New York is
strong in the pitching department. and the
Giants VIII make n strong bid for the top.
The Washington times., 1894-09-03

1t is a shame that any League club MANAGE
ment should be permitted AZ this stage of the
season TO sell of its best men as Louisville
has done. The loss of Menefee and Hem
ming simply leaves the Colonels soft mark
for every other club and robs the games in
which they take part of all interest. 1t would
be far better for Louisville to drop out en-
tirely instead of masquerading around the
country as a first-class club. The few dollars
received by the management for the sale of
their pitchers will hardly offset the black eyes
given the club as a drawing card for the bal
ance of the season. Ii should be the aim of
a League club TO strengthen and not to
weaken. 1t certainly behooves the National
League as whole 10 see that the policy
shown by Louisville should receive official
condemnation

SAT ON THE EDGE OF THE ROOF,
Young Frank Dale While Insane Creates \ - Sensation on Prospect Street.

Sensation on Prospect Street. Frank Dale, nineteen years old, re- siding at 6f Prospect street. created considerable excitement among the resi- dents of that street yesterday by ascending to the roof of his house and seating himself on the edge of the roof with his legs hanging over. He was perfectly nude from his waist down and apparently was totally oblivious to the sensation he was creating. {:
 The police were notified of the facts and the patrol wagon with Signal Off, cer Began, Patrolman John T. Mo- Grath and Chief Kennedy dispatched to the scene by Sergeant Mcbride. After the wagon had arrived Officers Began and McGrath entered the house and went out on the roof after the young man. They succeeded in getting be- hind him before he was aware of 1t and soon had him secured from his perilous position. He was taken into the house and turned over to his mother. pr. Converse was hastily summoned and Dale placed under restraint until later to Springside farm.
 Dale is insane and has been, so it is said, for some time, although he has never heretofore shown any tenden- cies to violence. He will be kept at springside farm for the present at least, but may later be removed to Mid dletown unless he shows signs of recovL ering his reason. ... ...-.~..a .-.-.
