------------------ HIS TROUBLES NOT ENDED.
III Luck Seems to be the Lot of Minister
 Ransom.

Ransom.
 Washington, Aug. 3O.-Ill-luck seems to be the lot of United States Minister Ransom, one trouble following close up- on the heels of the other. Now MT. Will lie, acting auditor of the treasury for the state department. had decided that Mr. Ransom's salary as minister to Mex. ico cannot be paid until he is confirmed by the senate.
 He bases his decision upon the law which reads:
 Section 1,761-No money shall be paid from the treasury as salary to any per- son appointed during the recess of the senate to fill vacancy in any existing office, if the vacancy existed while the senate was in session and was by law required to be filled by and with the ad- vice and consent of the senate, until such appointee has been confirmed by the senate.
 The question of allowing him ex- penses, etc, has not yet been taken up. It is stated that Minister Ransom him self raised this point, whether he could be paid prior to confirmation, as he wanted to know exactly where he stood before he departed for Mexico, that he might make the necessary financial ar engagements for his maintenance
 Congress will have to provide for his salary between July l and the date when he may be confirmed.

ELKS DAY AT THE ROCK
THE MANY PROMISED ATTRACTIONS
 F.AIL TO MITERIALIZE.

The New Haven Lodge Wins the Ball
 Game-Ike Williams in the Bridgeport's
 Box-No Racing or sparring-successfu
 Balloon Ascension by Aeronaut Jewell.
 It was Ellls day at Savin Rock yes terday. There was a small attend ance for Friday afternoon, it being the last half holiday of the summer. There had been number of attractions prom
 sed, including 100 yard dashes, fat mems racing, sparring, etc. It was also first advertised that John l.. Sullivan would umpire the game. This was later changed to Thomas Daly, the actor.
 As matter of fact Sullivan did not appear, nor did Daly. There was no racing, nor no sparring exhibition. The only extra feature was given by John Drew of Brooklyn lodge, now playing at Polls, who rendered a song and recitation very acceptably under very adverse circumstances, being ably as sisted by William C. Ray.
 The exercises were opened by a clash between the Elks and the Carnival company, as to who should run the show Four stalwart Elks finally sat down on the president of the Carnival company, and the program started.
 The teams were composed as follows: Bridgeport lodge, No. 30: Rogers, c.; Williams. D.; Hartmann, 1b; R. Brown, If; Grosshart, 2b; Brundage, If; w.. Brown, 3b; Drew, eff; Block, s.s. New Haven lodge, No. 25: Judge, 3b; Sparks s.s.; Doughan, 2b; Beecher, C.; O'Con7 nell, D.; w. Dunn, 1b; Coogan, eff; T.. Dunn, If; Moriarity, If Ike Williams, the pugilist, was the pitcher for the Bridgeports.
 Dr. James Kelley acted as umpire
 After nine innings of listless playing the New Haveners won by a score of 8 to '.
 The Bridgeports had their mascot, "Peasey, de coon," with them in charge of Peter" their pet bull dog. The two made a circuit of the bases in the sec- ond inning, followed later by the New Haven lodges brindle. and white bull dog Jack" Both were greeted vocif- erously, and then "Peasey" did a cou- chee-couchee dance on the home plate. A well known Elk in this city said yesterday afternoon: We are not re- sponsible for the disappointment of the people. We had no hand in advertising any of the promised attractions. We furnished the ball team and MT. Drew |lonly and if the people who paid their money failed to find the full bill, as advertised, they must look to the Carnival company.
 At 4 o'clock there was a balloon as- tension and parachute leap by MT. Jew ell back of the grove, and as usual it was conducted in an excellent manner, the balloon rising to a good height and the parachute working perfectly. There will be ball game at the ground this afternoon between the N. Y. N. H. and H. clerks and the Mayer, Strouse 6S Go. nine.
 The case against George Stanton was again continued in the borough court yesterday until this morning.

QUAY MAY BE GOVERNOR
THERE VAS MORE AT STAKE THAN
 APPEARED ON THE SURFACE.

The Senator Had His Eye on tho Guber-
 material Chair and He win be a Candi-
 date for That Office at the Next Election
 in.Pennsylvania.
 Philadelphia, Aug. 30.-A special to the Evening Telegraph from Harrisburg says that it is stated there on what is considered good authority that Senator Quay had more at stake in his fight this week than the state chair- manship-the control of the Pennsylva- mia delegation to the next national con- vention and the national chairmanship. He had his eye upon the gubernatoriaI chair and will be candidate for that place. His term of senator does not ex- pire until 1896, but he could resign from the senate couple of months before his term expires and could name his suc- cessor On Wednesday after the con. vention friend put the question to MT. Quay thus:
 Does not this mean the governorship for you?"
 The senator's only reply was a smile. indicating that the friend had made d good guess. A month ago one of MT. QuayNs friends said if the senator should win the chairmanship 1t would mean that he would be a candidate ion governor.

Mccormick LiberatS II

The indictment against Samuel
Mccormick for burglary has been
nOlle pressed by Judge Glenn upon
the recommendation of States Attor-
ney Searle and he has been liberated
from the county Jail. Mccormick
was charged with breaking into the
Augustana Book concern and appro-
priating literature. While he was
not detected in the act, book found
in his possession bearing the Angus
tana stamp satisfied the authorities
that he was the guilty man. He was
convicted in the circuit court at the
May term. A new trial was applied
for and granted, but rehearing
could not be had until the following
term. and Mccormick was compelled
to remain in Jail in default of bail.
This, together with his wife separat-
ing from him, weighed on his mind,
until he became desperately insane.
This proved temporary. however, and
by the arrival OF September his men tai
faculties became normal. Feeling that
Mccormick had been sufficiently per-
secuted and realizing the uncertain
~ of the outcome of another trial.
the s'ate's attorney recommended
that his Indictment be quashed, a, d
now Judge Glenn has granted it.

Attacking the Orioles,
Capt. Doyle Succeeds I'm Getting Him
Wordy WAR with Davis.

Baltimore, Aug 12-The New York

in charge, qeft the CarrolItou Hotel tonight
for Philadelphia, where the club viii play
their next series In leaving the Car
rollton Hotel, Doyle aud his cohorts bade
il final adieu j..
This was because of an uuseemly row
which occurred in a harroom last night
Doyle and his men had been out enjoying
themselves throughout the day, and were
not in Il mood to be trifled with when they
ordered drinks at the Carrollton bar upon
their return from Bay Side resorts late last
night. In a controversy which followed
the ordering of drinks, Pitcher Rusie gave
evidence of his discomfort via Baltmoreans
in general aud the bartender III particular,
by saying unpleasant things
Silent Nike" Tiernan and Dad Clarke
encouraged the fat Indiana twirler until
a cessation OF hostilities was called by
Manager Shannon, who pulled Captain
DOYLE out of bed with the request that he
take care of lis players and forever there
after keep them out of the Carrolton
Hotel.
ExCaptain Davis did notpIay in to-day's
game because of a misunderstandingn ne had
with Captain Doyle on Saturday, Doyle's
scurrilous attack upon Umpire dunt after
the seventh inning OF Saturdays contest
caused Davis to demonstrate with Doyle
for his energetic argument with the umpire.
Doyle was not in a humor to be dictated to
by his predecessor, and he promptly or
dered Davis to the bench. The X-Captain,
deeply offended, took an early train out
of town on the plea of indisposition.
To what extent Doyle's high-handed
methods may prevail, in the absence OF
President Freedman, is not known, but it is
certain that they are not approved by a
majority of the members of the team. In
leaving town tonight a great deal of i'll
feeling was expressed by the players, and
threats of rebellion were heard ON all Sides

DETECTIVE LACEY'S DOUBT
Told Baker Frisbie That He Didn't
Believe the Latter'S Story.
Mr. Frisbie Had Reported That $500
Had Been Stolen from the Place
where He Hid 1t.

1t has been some time since Anacostia
was treated to a sensation, but yesterday
there were two occurrences on the criminal
calendar that created any amount OF sur
prise and gossip.
The first was the announcement that
Mr.. Abraham B. Frisbie had been robbed of
$500 in a most mysterious fashion. The
second occurred when Detective Lacy, who
had been sent to work up the case, told
Mr.. Frisbie that he did not believe the story
of the robbery Hot words passed be.
tween the two ard MI Frisbie barely es-
capped arrest as the consequence.
Mr.. Frisbie is a baker with a shop and
residence on jefferson street. He is an
old resident of the town and an ex x-comman-
der OF John A. Logan Post, G. A. R. He
reported to the police yesterday that be-
tween the hours of 10 a. m. Sunday and
g a. m. yesterday $500 had been stolen
from him.
He stated that as be had several debts
to meet yesterday he had taken extra
ordinary precautions with his money and
on Sunday morning had placed it under a
the back of the store.
When he went To the place yesterday fore
noon his first act was to inspect the hiding
place. When lie turned up the peck meas
ure the money was gone Mr Frisbie
was very Ruch alarmed, and al once made
search for other evidence Of the robbery
Nothing was TO be seen, and there were
no signs on the doors or windo ws of any one
having broken into the place, or secured
admission by false keys
There was exactly $500 in the pile, made
up OF five twenty dollar bills, the rest
in smaller notes
Sergt. Anderson reported the case at
once TO the detective office, and Detective
Lacy, the colcrcd sleuth was sent to Ana
costa TO work up the Clews
The detective had an interview with Mr.
Frisbie in which he asked number OF ques-
tions which Mr.. Frisbie considered imperti-
nent, and reflected upon his veracity.
The baker did not relish being put through
the sweating process, after the. fashion
employed in dealing with criminals. His
ire was further raised when Detective Lacy
announced that he did not believe there
had been a robbery, and also that he did
not believe any money had been placedunder
the peck measure.
Mr.. Frisbie's anger, the police say, got
the better OF his discretion and he used
such language to the detective that the
latter wound up the argument by declaring
his willingness TO arrest Mr. Frisbie for
profanity as soon as he would any other
person.
The last robbery to alarm the town and to
cause all the able bodied men to arm them
selves with pistols was that by which Mrs
Fort had $500 stolen from her person while
she was asleep.
Detective Rhodes spent some time on the
case, but after investigating a number of
clews gave it up as a mystery that could not
be solved.
The people believe that the crimes are COM
mitted by some one who is familiar with the
habits of those he intends to rob and the
difficulty of appreheDGES him is therefore
rendered more serious than would other
wise be the case.
