CRUSHED IN AN ELEVATOR.
Martin Murphy Killed by His Own
Carelessness.


Martin Murphy, an elevator conductor
on the Seventeenth street side of the
State, War and Navy Departments build
ing, was caught between the edge OF the
elevator flour and the gircer of the cell
ing above in the basement of the building
yesterday afternoon and almost instantly
killed.
The elevator is run by hydraulic pres
sure, and is worked by throwing a lever
back and forward, instead OF the usual
cable. When Murphy took the elevator
down to the basement he threw the lever
back, but neglected to fasten it. He
stepped out for few minutes, and while
he was gone the lever handle in some
way slipped, for on his return he saw the
elevator about two feet from the floor and
still ascending.
Thinking he could catch it in time to
stop it, Murphy ran and attempted to
jump into the elevator. The machine
had attained too grea. n height, how
ever, and he landed with his body only
about half inside. The elevator shot up
until the unfortunate mans back struck
the iron girder above, his stomach rest
ing on the edge of the elevator. The shock
must have rendered him Immediately un-
conscious. for he never uttered groan.
Coroner Hanmett and the police were
notified, and the coroner, after au investi-
CATION, decided that Murphy's death was
the result of his own carelessness.
The body was removed tn No. 42O L
street north west, where the deceased re-
sided with his wife and family.

TRACK AND STABLE.

The talk that is often INDUCED in that
the runner is the popular horse these days,
| and that the harness horse has lost his at
traction, is being pretty convincingly dis
| proved by events now taking place. II
reports are true, few of the running meet
| ings this year have made money for their
| promoters, where the bookmakers have not
| carried them through. This has not been
the case with the trotters and PAGERS. At
| Saginaw, Detroit and Cleveland thousands
| OF people congregated every good day to
| witness the racing, bile at Buffalo, where
| a meeting is now going on, the grounds
| have been packed with immense and enthu-
I siastic throngs.
When it is considered that the same law
that operates ON the runners also controls
| the trotters and PAGERS as regards betting
| in New York State, the success Of the Buff
falo meeting, compared with the dismal
failure OF the Saratoga meeting becomes
quite striking. Once one of the greatest
running horse centers In the world, there
has been scarcely corporaFs guard on
the Saratoga track any day since the
meeting now in progress there began
Every good trotting and pacing meeting
held this year has been a financial sue
cess. All of them have made money, and
lots of it. for their managers.
There can be but one explanation for
the present standing of the runner. He
has degenerated. He is now a four, five
or six furiong and now and then a mile
performer, used in nine cases in ten as a
mere gambling machine. anu be has lost his
attraction as a true sport -giver.

To come together again in the Flight stakes,
TO be run at the Coney Island autumn
meeting. The meeting of this great pair is
already arousing great interest, and per-
haps this race will pretty effectually settle
it as to which is the better horse.
The Hamlins must be pretty sorely dis
appointed family just now. With Fantasy
they expected to sweep up all of the trot-
ters of the year. She was jgnonIiniou sly
beaten by Azote. In Robert j. they were
sure they pos sessed an invincible pucer
Twice within two weeks he has gone
down before the Kansas product, Joe
Patchen.
There were 800 people at the reopening
of the Harlem race track Quiet betting is
going on, but 1t does not suit the bettors,
hence the Bgkt' attendance. Chicago will
shortly have a $50 900 trotting and pacing
meeting.
1t is estimated that there are more
than 100 trotting and pacing horses in
training that are owned by Washington
people, and yet it Is contended that there
is no interest taken in the harness horse
here.
Joe Patchen, the famous conquerer of
Robert j., is in appearance probably the
most striking horse on the American turf.
His coat is raven-black, he has a broad
white face. four white ankles and coal
black hoofs. He is stallion, but has a
disposition that makes him as gentle as a
pet lamb, and any child OF woman can
handle or drive him. He is sixteen hands
high, weighs about LOO pounds and is
6 years old.

The League games scheduled for to-
day are as follows:
New York at Baltimore.
Washington at Boston.
Philadelphia at Brooklyn.
Louisville at Pittsburg.
st. Louis at Cincinnati.
| Cleveland at Chicago.
There. will be two Sunday games play
ed. st. Louis plays at Cincinn att and Chi
cago at Louisville.
Although the Baltimore Dumping pitched
n great game of ball against the Sen
ators on his first appearance in the box
this year, he pitched a greater one yes
tcrday. The New York team got but five
hits off of him. These two games make
1t look as though McMahon had surely
regained his old-time form, and that II
winning the peInant will be greatly en-
hanced.
The Senators have now lost four games
In succession, with two shut-outs. The
game at Boston, however, was a good
one, and was lost by a scratch. Such
pdA ds the oehdtols put up yesterday
will win more times than 1t will lose.
The Washington team seemed to have
recovered also some OF its batting strength.
Danny Coogan is said to have received
an offer to join Western League team,
but he has not yet made up his mind whether
he Will or will not accept it.

leased by Cincinnati, has been offered

remaining trotting stock at private sale,
1t being the largest transaction of the kind

Colmar, Pa, Secured him for SO, $500. A

by the Experts.
The August report of the statistician
OF the Department Of Agriculture shows q
reduction in the condition of cotton dur
ing the month of July from S2.3 to
77.9, or A points.
This is the lowest average for Angus,
ever reported, being half point lower
than the average for August, 1893. The
reason for low condition generally given
by correspondents is excessive moisture,
though In South Carolina drought seems
to be the principal cause OF injury.
There is much complaint of grass and
not a little of rust, blight, worms and in
sects. enemies OF the plant.
The State averages of condition are:
Virginia, 81; North Carolina, "A; South

Ifany one-has doubt about the popularity
OF baseball IN Washington, let the doubter
go to the Malone lot, at the corner Of North
Capital and L streets, any evening in the
week when the weather is good, and such
notion will surely be dispelled From
200 to 900 men and boys OF all ages, all
sizes, all colors and every nationality,
can be found there, engaging in the national
pastime. Players aud spectators go wild
at every good or bad motion, and make
the very air tremble with their cheers,
howls aud screeches. 1t might be i'm
agined that the people who live thereabout
would object to the hub-bub; but that Is
not the case. They plant themselves on
their doorsteps, fences and Ia wns. and get
euthused and excited and vociferous in
unison with the players. Everybody has
good time, aud all are sorry when dark
ness approaches and ends the fun. The
Malone lot presents butO ne of many exhibi-
tious of this kind that can be witnessed
in this city. There is hardly a vacant
space any where in the Northeast, North
west, Southeast or Southwest that does
not offer like scene. Baseball has caught

was given in The Tinies last evening

Al Herford OF the Baltimore Eureka

contest was wholly without foundation

times and made that organ bleed The
day after the contest a look at Lasa would
not have revealed that he ha been touched.

Columbia that would like 10 see boxing
at the club, il is not probable that such N
exhibition will take place III the near future.
