from the southwest, by most unbearable
stencil, which, it Is believed. has caused
much Of the sickness prevailing in the

IT. has been ascertained that some of the
truck farmers in the neighborhood of
Giesboro' Point have been spreading all
sorts Of decayed meats, vegetables and
other offal. which had been purchased in
Washington, upon the ground. Intending
to plough it under as fertilizer at later
period Citizens of Anacostia will call the
attention of the health department to the
matter and see if some change in the dis
pcsal of this refuse can not be brought
about

Senator Morgan concluded, his examina
ticn of Mr.. c. P. Huntington Saturday
afternoon after The Stars report closed in
the he airing on the Pacific railroads funding
bill before the Senate Pacific railroads
committee. The hearing will be resumed
next Friday morning. u.
Mr.. Huntington n. Just before his testimony
was closed. asserted that he did not en-
rloy a lobby. "in the accepted sense of
that term" but admitted that he had
trusted men" in his service to explain
matters to the Congress and to govern
ment officials. He submitted a formal
statement to the committee, in which he
set forth the aid received by the Central
Pacific road amounting to S126, 400, 600 face
value. He asserted that ether money yaliie
received was only ST., 3,4lO 900. He reviewed
the work done by the company and con-
Guided as follows:
Sc that 1 think any can see that
with the sum Of money at our disposal we
never could have completed this work mad
We not practiced the most rigid economy;
ror, let me say, could it have been done If
the builders had not enjoyed unquestion-
able credit. We have done all this work
and have always paid our bills, and we
should continue to do so, even the govern
nient debt, if the government had not given
larger aid to construct roads to the north
and south of US than they did to the Union
and Cent? al line, and thus to a large extent
destroyed the earning power of the Central
lire. do not say this was mistake 1t
was instead of that, wise thing fer the
sovereign power to do, even though it pre-
vented the government from receiving any,
thing from the Central line. as the three
&, eat companies policed the high dry, bar
rem lands in the middle of the continent,
W bich before the roads existed had cost
the government many millions of dollars,
ard l suppose nothing since because of the
presence of these roads. 1t does seem hard
that nearly thirty years after the work
has been completed the representatives of
this great nation of some seventy millions
should be asking the builders of these
reads to answer the charges made by Prob
ably as worthless a set of men as ever un-
dertook to block the wheels of commerce
or dog the heels of an army-either an
army of war or great industrial army
like that which works within the ranks of
the Central Pacific Railroad COMPANY"

Judge Powers, who today represents Vermont in congress, entered the nation al house with a magnificent record as lawyer and judge of the supreme court of Vermont.
 He is fine type of the careful, learned, New England lawyer.
 Though but 56 years of age, he was a member of the Vermont legislature third of a century ago, and again in 1874, when he was speaker of the house. He has been state censor, member of the constitutional convention and of the state senate. In 1874 he became judge of the supreme court of Vermont, and remained 1on the bench until 1890, when he took his seat in congress. Judge Powers presided al many of the most notable trials in the history of the state, and is the author of many of the most important opinions to be found in Vermont reports.

At Montgomery.


 Montgomery, April T.-(sPecial) )-The second game of the Montgomery-Bir- mingham series was played this after noon to about 600 people. It was unmark- ed by any enthusiasm after the third inning. when the playing grew listless and slow. In this inning the visitors tied the score and gave promise of doing bet ter things. As the game advanced, how ever, that thought or hope dropped to a forlorn degree.
 The game opened with Meara at the bat. He knocked out a safe hit, but was cut off at second in his attempt to pilfer that bag. Peoples got his base on balls, stole second and scored on Kehoe's hit to left field.-In trying to stretch two bags Kehoe was thrown out at second. De- dees safe hit counted for naught, since Pabst flew out to center, retiring the side.
 Gorton faced Shehan and famed the air with regularity. Walsh. however lifted a hot liner over short. Katz hit to second. In the attempt to make dou- bic billiard threw wild to Peoples, allow ing the two runners to advance bag each. Walsh scored on Ryan's forced hit and Katz went to third. Rappold sent a hot grounder to short, who cut Ryan off. The ball was quickly fielded to first, but Pabst dropped the ball, Katz scoring. Fricken flew out to right field.
 In the second inning German hit a two- bagger. Mangum sent another ball in the same direction and German scored. Meara was given his base and Peoples sent a hot grounder through Tebeau's legs. scoring Meara and Mangum. The visitors went out in one. two, three order
 The third inning resulted the same to the locals. When the visitors came in, however Walsh got his base on balls and Katz scored him with a drive into deep center for three bags. Ryan follow ed with a clean hit, and scored Katz. It Ina fCif fni fn hn plate, though several times it looked as if the locals could not prevent them from scoring.
 Peoples safe hit into right scored Man gum in the fourth inning. The fifth in~ ming was productive of four scores to the locals by timely hitting and clever base running. Dedee sent a long three-bagger to right field, and Dillard's double into the same locality scored Dedee and PabSt who had received his base on balls. In the seventh Shehan beat out slow bunt and scored on Meara's home run, which brought forth prolonged applause from the cranks, for this was the first home run of the season on these grounds Pabst crossed the plate in the eighth on Mangums safe hit and Mangum put score to his credit on Shehan's double. Dedee's single, Pabsts double and Dill lard's home drive in right field earned three runs for the locals in the ninth. The Montgomery boys kept the visitors hard at work in the field. In fact, these fielders cut off numerous runs by pulling down long flies. that would have counted for singles, doubles and better
 Coplinger's work for the visitors was up to snuff until the fourth inning. Then he seemed to have let down and was hit hard, frequently and timely. It is evi- dent that the visitors need more working together, so as to learn each other. Rourke was not in the game this after noon and Frcken filled his position at third.
 Following is the official score:
