A New Firm.

Robt. j. Thomas, the tonsorial artist,
and Frank Rodgers, the cigar manufact-
urer, have purchased John G. Dillman's
billiard parlor and the building the
tables are in. The room now occupied
by Rodgers cigar factory will be fitted
up for Mr.. Thomas barbershop, which
he will move in a week or two. An ad-
dition will be built on in the rear of the
billiard parlor for the cigar factory,
which will be increased TO large
wholesale manufacturing establishment.
and in the spring Robt. j. Thomas will
travel for the factory, making IT point
TO b. at home every Saturday to work
in his shop. The barbershop will be
petitioned of entirely from the
billiard parlor. Messrs. Thomas and
Rodgers expect to push the cigar-mak-
ing business until they will eventually
be running large establishment. They
propose to make cigars that IL will be a
pleasure to smoke and build up trade
on the reputation Of their cigars. A
strictly cash business will be done in
the barbershop, billiard parlor and retail
department of the cigar factory. These
gentlemen thank the public for their
patronage of the past and ask for con-
tinuance Of the same for the new firm.

Jumped Into Hot Liquor.

j. w. Dempsey; who is employed at
the tannery as liquor runner, met with
an accident Saturday that will cause
him much suffering and will lay him Off
duty for sometime. There are what is
called junks at the tannery which the
hot liquor is run into, and while work.
ing at one Of these junks Mr.. Dempsey
bumped his head on steam pipe which
stunned him SO that he fell into the
junk feet first Both legs and feet were
badly burned. The right leg was burn
ed to the knee and all the skin peeled
of Of it. Had Mr.. Dempsey been able
to get out Immediately he would have
escaped without serious results. When
he first fell In he tried to escape by TAX.
ing hold Of plug, but it gave way and
the old gentleman dropped into the
liquor again and before he could find q
way Of escape his limbs were well cook
ed. As Mr.. Dempsey is we'll along In
life's journey the shock to his nerves
will be more serious than 1t would tG
one Of less years.

Face Burned.

John Barkley, the young man who will
cross over into the state of matrimony
at eleven o'clock to-day, met with an
accident on Monday that might have
been serious and which did disfgure
him for his wedding day. He is check
weighman at the Standard mine and on
Monday afternoon the stove in his office
did not throw out enough heat to keep
the young man warm and he poured
some 'black strap" into the stove and
the blaze flashed out onto him. His
face was badly burned, not enough,
however, to prevent him from getting
married. Most Of the blaze struck his
breast and ignited his clothing. 1t is a
common thing to pour 'black strap
on fires but it is seldom that the
stuff acts so mulish.

District League Notes.

1t seems as though the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing had been saving Ber-
nard for this game. 1t certainly turned out
to be good policy to do so. The District
boys could not connect with the ball at any
stage of the game except in the first and
eighth innings.
'Tubby" Dickinson certainly had an OF
day yesterday. Whether he was sick or
disguised Is not known. but his stentorian
tones were not heard as often as usual, and
he did not blow up his chest protector once
after the first time. Fitzgerald's wlldness
was responsible for a number of his errors,
however, and after the batting streak of
the bureau lads in the second inning he was
dead as far all efforts to win were con-
cerned.
Barr struck out twice. Jones once. Fitz-
gerald twice, Boyd three times, Hne four
times and Cobb once in yesterdays game.
Dickinson secured three hits, Harris three,
and Jones, Fuller. Barr and Cobb each got
one Every man on the Bureau nine got q
hit
The felders Of the District Commission
ers' team were sadly off in their work. Sew
eyal pretty flies that were sent high enough
to allow an elephant to get under them
were muffed with the greatest ease This

what can be termed competent set Of OUT
fielders.
The attendance yesterday was the largest
Of the season. and the bureau employees
were largely predominant, both in numbers
and noise. A number Of the pretty girls
from the bureau came out to see their
sweethearts play ball. and they went home
in highly gratifed state Of mind.

New YOrk's President Blames the UNI
pire for the LOSS of Games.
President Freedman of New York thinks
according to the Baltimore Sun, that when
he purchased the New York club the Ma
tional League body and soul, was thrown
in as a chrome. During yesterdays game in
Baltimore he began early to call Mr.. Young's
attention to the fact that the New Yorks
were being Systematically robbed, and when
Mr.. Young said he thought the decisions
were just, the "magnate" who has much to
learn, threw up both hands and turned on
the walls of his wrath. He declared that
the New Yorks had been getting the worst
of the umpiring all the season and vowed
that If Mcdonald ever came to the Polo
Grounds to of1iciate the New Gorks would
not be permitted to go on the field.
The president of the league answered
that the time might arise when IL would
be necessary to send Mcdonald TO New
York, and that when that time did come he
thought the New Yorks would play. The
president added that Mr.. Freedman would
know more five years hence than he does
now, and limited something about the baby
act" being used to cover up merited de-
feat

Shields has gotten the hang of his oar in
short order and is pulling as clean a stroke
and as strong one as there is in the boat.
In case the eight departs for the Schuyl-

Kill like book, as he rowed for num-
Der OF years as member of some of their
crack clubs. Taken as whole the prin-
cipal fault of the eight lies in their not
pulling together, but this can easily be
remedled by more practice. Their strong
point Is a speedy recovery with the hands
and not with the body, thus doing away
with that jar by the body in the recovery
which necessarily retards the progress Of
the boat.

THE SCHUYLKlLL REGATTA
Washington May Not Be Represented This
Year.
II We Are, the C. A. C. Eight VIII
Be the Only One to
Enter.

The regatta which the Schuylkill Navy
holds each Fourth of July at Philadelphia
always has the effect Of bringing out a
number Of entries from each city In which
rowing is practiced to any extent. The
prizes offered are always valuable, the
teams that are entered are the strongest In
America, and in consequence whenever a
club thinks it has strong crew they send
1t to Philadelphia, knowing that there
whatever stamina and skill is in them will
surely be brought out. This has been the
case with the Washington oarsmen, and
nearly every year there have been one or
more represen tatives from this city from
either the Columbia Athletic Club, the Po-
tomac Boat Club or the Anaiostan Boat
Club. Last year it was the Potomacs. and
this year the Columbia Junior eight were
looked upon as the capital cty's standard
bearers. but it now transpires that WASH
ington stands very slim chance of being
represented at all.
Lieut. Charles H. Baker of the Columbias
who has charge Of rowing, got his men out
on the water as soon as possible this wear
but with all his efforts he lost some weeks
or valuable time owing to the backward
ness OF the spring. This has operated to
some extent in retarding the progress of
the crew, and because the boys are not ex-
actly In the best of trim Lieut. Baker Is
very dubious about sending them to Phila-
ueipHid III case, however, they do not
leave next week for the Quaker city they
will very probably be sent to the Middle
states regatta, which takes place on the
Passaic river in about three weeks time
and is fully as important. BY putting off
the first appearance Of the crew in a race
Tor some two OF three weeks Lieut.. Baker
hopes to get his men in a great deal better
trim, though they are doing excellently
now, everything considered.
The Columbia Eight.
The eight as they have been rowing for
two weeks and their weights are as fol-
lows: Clarke. stroke. 40 pounds; Carter,
number I. 1o7; Shields. number G. Ia; No
Ian, number 5. 165; Boyle. number t. 1e5;
TaIladge, number 3. 1853; Jaquette, number
2. 163; Craig. number /. 49, and Bobby
Elder, coXswain. A glance at the weights
will show that while the crew is not a
beefy one still the shell Is admirably trim
med by the arranging Of the weights. AS
individuals they are widely diversified in
regard to experience, but as a whole they
are showing the effects Of some good tram
ing in catching the water well. Clarke,
the stroke, has roweS In Columbia crews
for several years. and Notwithstanding
that this Is his first experience at the diff
cult position of stroke he is proving as
good a man at that position as the club
has ever had in a junior crew. Boyle and
Nolan are onto all the tricks Of the trade,
Boyle stroking the Potomac eight that
went to Philadelphia last summer. Shields
