If Pitcher Pfanmilcr had exercised
the same Judgment that he exhibited in
the previous innings Norfolk would
have won. But he weakened, and
Gradys three-bagger took the starch
out of him. for the Athletics hit him
hard in the ninth, pranmiller gave II
pretty exhibition Of tw!rling in the last
inning. Moran was at the bat with the
bases fulk He had three balls and two
strikes bpt the next seven or eight balls
pitched Were S0uarcly over the plate
and Moran was compelled TO hit at them
all. They resulted in foul flies against
the screen. and with q tired arm he sent
the next one wide and Moran walked
TO first forcing in a run. Both pitcher
and batsman worked it nicely, and the
spectators were deeply interested as to
who would get the better of the contest
Again Weddige'S fielding at third was
one Of the best features Of the game.
He made Il rafting good stop OF Me-
Ney's hard hit in the fourth inning, two
more in the sixth. In fact he practi-

A ROOSTER IN A CELL.
Ii Was Held as A Witness Against
a Chicken Thief

A welI-bred rooster with a bright red
comb, long tail feathers and handsome
plumage vas brought into No l station
last night by Policeman N. z Herndon
and locked up n cell No. 8. which is the
one usually assigned to murderers. The
bird, proud specimen of tie hennery.
was hatched last spring over in Fairfax
county upon the farm Of Mrs. Elnora
Norris.
No crime or misdemeanor, such as might
have been expected for making too much
noise or awakening the sleeping population
OF Washington, was charged against the
fowl. He was simply held as ocular
proof against one Edward Mcpherson,
colored. Edward has the unenviable name
and record of being a chicken thief, and
his haHntS are about Center Market, and
1t was there that he found the chauticleer
last night and took possession OF him.
Edward might possibly have enjoyed a
royal feast off the fowl this evening had
he seized it about the throat and thus
prevented its growing. The night watch
man about the market heard tie ROSTERS
shrill can for help and Immediately came
to the rescue A chase ensued which
proved that the night watchman was q
Better runner than the chicken thief, and
the latter was turned over to Policeman
Herndon together with his prey. The
chantfcleer roasted high last night on the
bench in the cell and made himself heard
during the early hours of the morning,
while Edward occupied another cell.

In the House.

A little family affair occupied the at
tention of the House when 1T met today.
Yesterday afternoon motion had been
made to strike out of the general def
cheney bin an item of S12. .2o2 to enable
the sergeant -at-arms TO refund the amounts
withheld from the salaries OF members on
account OF absence.
Mr. Sayers a member of the Appropria-
tions Committee. explained how the COM
mittee came to allow the amount.
Mr. Savers showed that the judiciary
Committee chaddeeidedthatthe money could
not be deducted. He did not believe in
refunding it, however, and would vote
against the item Mr.. Savers referred 10
an attack made yesterday on the item by
Mr Hopkins, and read a statement, show
ing how many times Mr.. Hopkins had not
responded to roll calls.
Mr.. Hopkins contended, in reply, that this
was an attempt togetthe Republican House
to wash the dirty linen of the Democratic
Fifty-third Congress. He said that Mr.
Savers could have put the item in def
cheney bill while chairman of the Appro-
priations Committee, but had waited to
unload it on Republican Congress.
The table read 10y MIR. Sayers, he said,
did not show that he (Mr. Hopkinsl had
been absent. He had been engaged in
has committee room scores OF times during
roIl-calls and did not answer
Mr.. Livingstone protested against max
ing the question a political one.
During the debate, which began to drag
along. Mr.. johnson, rising to a question Of
personal privilege, involving some remark
he had made about Mr.. Sayers, was called
to order by the chairman of The Committee
OF the Whole, Mr.. Payne, of New ork, for
going into matters outside the province of
personal privilege.
Mr.. johnson and Mfr. Payne had lively
interchange OF words and considerable con-
fusion ensued. Finally, however, the chair

man ordered Mfr. johnson to sit down, and
be complied.
When the debate had ended MIR. Bartlett
caused some astoDishment by making the
point of order that members individually
interested financially in any question
Were not permitted to vote in that. ques-
ton, under the rules providing that no
member can vote on "a question If he has
a direct personal or pecunlary interest
in il.
The chair expressed the opinion that
each gentleman must deci!e the question
of his interest for himself.
After deciding not to pay members III
the Fifty-third Congress their salaries
withheld on account of absence, the read
ing of the deficiency bin proceeded.
Mr. Northway offered an amendment TO
pay William Tyler Page, as assistant
in the file room, $500 for work done
during this Congress He said that merfl-
bers of the Appropri ations Committee,
so far as seen, approved. 1t was agreed to.
