BISHOP NEEDS NO MOXIE.
After Skipping from Custody lie Asks
Another OppOrtuuity to DO So.


After a chase lasting since Aug. 10,
Alderman Millar yesterday succeeded
In re-capturing +. A. Bishop, who badly
betrayed his confidence by vamoosing
when allowed to go for his lawyer to
help him in his defense Of a case which
was on before the alderman. Bishop
went to Hawley and while there wrote
an intimidating letter to the alderman,
the burden Of which was that he would
refrain from exposing certain irregu-
larities of the magistrates office pro-
viding he would drop the case against
him.
This only increased the alderman's s
determination to capture Bishop, and
his officers have been constantly on the
lookout for him. 1t was learned that
he returned to this city recently. but
he kept himself shady and it was only
yesterday morning that his arrest was
effected.
| He was given a hearing and held in
$500 bail for court, in default of which
he was committed. OF this amount $500
| was required as security to answer the
original charge of assaulting Annie
Anthony, and $500 for contempt of
court. Bishop had the nerve to ask
the alderman to be allowed to go out
and look for bail
Alderman Millar will also prosecute
Bishop for attempted bribery. He says
that about month ago Bishop offered
him $40 to raid Annie Anthony's place.

Tie Game.
MANLY SPORT IN GENERAL

As telegraphed to The Star exclusively
playing at Newport on the Casino courts,
and Hovey. after four tries at the finals and
two at the championship, has finally reach-
ed the pinnacle of tennis fame. HIS game
was modelled after that Of PIN, the great
IRISH expert, and Hovey claims that the les
soEs he learned from the Irishman con-
tributed greatly to his overwhelming vic
tory in straight sets.
Wrenn played about the came game that
he has put up in previous tournaments this
season, but that was not anywhere good
enough. Still, the little Harvard man was
nervy In the face of defeat, and fought
gamely until the :ast point. Hovey played
far more steadily than ever before. His
control of the ball was very good, and he
scored over half of his points by placing.
Over three thousand people saw the game.
Campbell was referee, and ter experts act
ed as linesmen. Ex-Champion Sears
watched the game
Hovey led from the word go in each set.
In the first set Wrenn made slight effort
to brace, but the second set was almost a
walkover. Only in the last set did Wrenn
crack pulled UP nervily from 2-5, end
though Hovey had four chances to win the
championship by single stroke in the
eighth game Wrenn managed to make the
score 45
Though Wrenn started in well in tho
tenth game, Hovey was not to be deceived,
and in spite of the fact that the crowd was

Wrenn in the ex-champion class. Hovey
scored 90 points to Wrenns a. Sands won
the consolation prize easily.

A Terrible Danger Avoided.

The ominous number thirteen, which is
still the cause Of so much anxious pertur-
baton from end to end of christendom, has
been ''disenchanted by a happy provi-
dence," says the Freie Rhatier, in village
of the Hinterrheinthal. The brave mother
of family of twelve children found her
self about to become the mother of a thir-
teenth. The new baby, whether boy or girl
was destined, beyond all doubt, to life of
III luck. The parents eagerly consulted
to the possibility of averting the disasters
of thirteenth child" from the expected
miserable mis- se eomforters ter in ali their friends lends
when the mother suddenly gave birth to
twins. The joy of the parents in the pos
session of fourteen children instead of the
dreaded thirteen was eXuberant, and the
happy father invited all his Reighbors to
generous chris tening feast where the fam
lily and the commune were both congratu-
lated on their deliyerance from the mis-
fortune of possessing Elm Dkeizehntes."

after forty-eight moves.
Bardeleben gave signs of collapsing in
health, and he did not appear at the insti-

put in motion by the referee, and at 3
o'clock Pillsbury claimed the game, which.
as a matter Of course. was awarded 10 him.
The American player, however, much re-
gretted the circumstance. as he Is much
opposed to a walkover. According to the
rules of the tournament he was. however.
obliged to claim a win, because otherwise
the game would have been scored against
him, too.

plenty of canvas with her and that every

with an extra sail Of any description

People who have seen her big jib and her

what her balloon tib and spinnaker will
turn out to be. The latter. especially, is
said to be marvel of size, strength and

yacht will have to have something re-
markably fine to outclass the similar sails

The Widow Had Her Way.

From the Portland (Me.) Press e
The following story Is toldoabout Super
tendent Floyd of Evergreen cemetery in
Deering: It wasn't long ago that certain
Portland citizen died, anb his widow pur-
pay for it. Mr. Floyd told her that it was
contrary to the rules to bury person in
the cemetery until the tot &as paid for.
This made no difference to the widow.
She went ahead with the funeral, had her
husbands body carried to the cemetery,
and the coffin left on top of the lot, where,
of course, no grave had been dug. Then
she went to Mr.. Floyd. and, with tears
running down her cheeks. said: "Mr. Floyd,
there is s. you can bury him or leave
him on top just as you've mind to- and
away she went. Of course, Mr.. Floyd had
to bury the abandoned coffin. There was
no way out of it.

AGAIN DARKNESS WAS KIND.
The WashinstOnx Saved From Another
Defeat.

The Washingtons Saved From Another
Defeat.
The Senators deserve credit for the
plucky game which they put Up yesterday
against the Chicagos. They lost the first
only after eleven innings of good ball had
been fought through, and tied the second
after seven innings Of the same kind of
playing had been served up to the specta-
tors.
Anderson pitched the first game and did
remarkably well, and although both he
and Hutchison were hit hard and often,
the gilt-edged fielding which both teams
put up cut off runs by the wholesale. The
game Was won in the eleventh, when
Lange put the ball over the right-feld
bleacher's fence. sending in the winning
run ahead of him. Selbach, Abbey, Mer-
Ger. Wilmot and Ryan did some beautiful
work in the field and Scheibeck played
short for all that there was in 1t, taking
ten chances in the first game without an
error.
The second game was a tie. and Corbett
made his bow to the. local public in the
box. Dolan was the opposing pitcher, and
1t may be fairly said that he got the worst
end of it. The right-fleld bleachers' fence
again did the business for Washington, as
Anson made a home run over 1t that tied
the score in the seventh inning. The Wis
itors scored two runs in the eighth, hut
Umpire Keefe deemed 1t too dark to play
and called the game, despite Anson's pro-
test.

The wind had shifted to the west was
blowing about eight miles an hour and the
air was still somewhat hazy.
In the meantime Vigilant still lay at
anchor, with her crew busily engaged in

The wind had by this time hauled well to

the bay as Valkyrie stood out to the east
ward and southwark, close hauled on the
starboard tack.
In the light air Valkyrie moved along
very rapidly, and 1t was noticed that she
passed the feet Of good-sized sloops and
schooners as though they were at anchor,
and this In spite Of the fact that her sails
did not seem to be set very WELL on ac-

them.
