The RAEDY-PECKHAM FIASCO.
Pat Says Peckham Showed the
White Feather

Pat Raedy claims that the failure of
his scheduled fight with Hite Peckham to
come off was caused solely by the fear
OF the AleXandrian to meet hinl, as every
possible concession was made by himself, as
well as the Eureka Club, to get Peckham
into the ring, and he points to the fact
that Peckham has now left town as an
evidence Of his bad faith.
Pat says Hite is only disappearing as
a fighter, and to prove that ne is afraid
to meet him, he will agree to wager any
reasonable amount that the Virginia boxer
will not go against him.
He says he is not to blame for the fight
being called off, as he did everything in his
power to bring it to aniSsue, and he stands
ready TO meet Peckham according to agree
ment.
Pat will very likely have match on his
hands shortly Which eclipses all his former
battles, and that is fight with the eX-
welter- weight champion, Tommy Ryan. He
has received ali offer from the manager OF
the Rienzi A. c., of Rochester, n. Y, to
match him against Ryan, the bout to take
place either in Rochester or Syracuse, on
March g. Pat says he viii at once send
his acceptance, and if certain minor mat
ters OF expenses. etc, can be arranged, the
fight will be a sure thing.
Ryan is known as one of the cleyereSt
welter- weights in the world, and his de-
feat by Kid Mccoy was the result Of the
Kids being pounds overweight.

SCHOOL BOYS RAN AWAY.
Five Washington Lads Located by
the Police in Baltimore.

Inspector Hollinberger yesterday after
noon received a telegram from Marshal
Frey, OF Baltimore, stating that the police
of that city had taken in five runaway
boys who gave their names and addresses
in Washington as Ben Collins, of 216 Second
street; John ManniX, OF 1245 Seventh
street; William Clifford, of 1906 Third
street southeast; and Harry Sohl, of 1858
Potomac street, Georgetown.
AT the time OF the receipt of the telegram
the police had not been advised that any
OF the lads, whose ages range from twelve
to fifteen years, Were missing All of the
boys attended one OF the Catholic schools
and left their homes yesterday morning
ostensibly for the purpose of going to
school, and none of the parents of the
boys knew of their runa way until notified
OF their capture by the police 1t is be-
iieved that they met at the school and
decided to run away and stole a ride to
Baltimore, as there was not III oney enough
among them to purchase tickets for all.
AS the telegram gave no particulars it is
not known what the boys were attempting
to do when arrested.
The parents of Collins, Busey, and Sohl
last night sent money to Baltimore for
tickets to enable their prodgal sons to re-
turn, and they are expected Oh the first
train this morning. No provision has been
made for the hOm g coming , { the other boys

The explosion broke the glass in build

in which it originated, and this was
practically gutted. The damage to the
various buildings and their contents viii
be at least $4,000.

SENATOR McNILLAN'S DINNER.
The Michigan Delegation in Con-
gress His Guests.

Hon. James Mcmillan, senior Senator
from Michigan, gave q dinner last night
TO the Michigan delegation in Congress.
1t was at his home, No. 1114 Vermont
avenue. A report had gained some cur
rency that it was in honor OF the selection
for the Cabinet of Gen. Russell A. Alger.
This is an error. Senator Mcmillan has
for several years given a dinner annually
to his Michigan associates in Congress
and a few other friends It was this
annual gathering Of friends last night
Those who sat down at the table with
Senator Mcmillan were Senator Burrows,
Representatives Corliss, Spalding, Mines,
Thomas, Smith, Aitken, Snover, Linton,
Bishop, Crump and Avery; Mr.. Charles r.
Moore, clerk OF the Senate District Com
mittee; MI D. e Award, secretary of the
Michigan state Central Committee; Hon. w.
r. Chapel. and Messrs. W. b. Thompson
and Henry NJ. Rose.
A meal was served to suit the occasion
and the guests enjoyed the utmost free
dom Of good fellowship at it. There was
not the slightest formality, no set etspeeches,
no addresses of any kind, but throughout
general conversation, with mingling JEST
keen criticism and thoughtful observa-
tion. Pleasantries of one kind or another
filled most of the time.
The guests arrived early and it was
only a little after 8 o'clock when they
went to dinner 1t was not late when they
took their leave. In answer to a ques-
ton, one of them said to a Times re-
porter: .Of course, we are all very glad
Gen. Alger is going into the Cabinet, but
this dinner had nothing on earth to do
with it, Senator Mcmillan has long been
accustomed Co get the delegation together
at his house at least onoe each year"

JOSEPH DE soUTER's DEATH.
The Coroner Gave IA Certificate of
Accidental AsphyXfation,

Cornoner Hammett yesterday afternoon is
sued certificate Of accidental asphyxiation
in the case Of Joseph De Souter, the
Belgian shoemaker, who was found dead
in his room, at No. GOT Sixth street north
west, yesterday morning, as told in The
Evening Times. owing TO the circum-
stances the coroner deeme d that an inquest
was unnecessary, and the body was re-
moved to the morgue at the Sixth precinct
station.
1t is not known that the man had any
near relatives in this city, and as he was
without property or me9ns, save what he
earned at his trade from day to- day, it is
probable that the District will be com
PEELED TO bury him in the potter's field.
De Souter was, however, Of genial
disposition, which won him many friends,
some of whom, it is said are quite wealthy,
and who may decide to give him a re-
spectacle burial. De seuter had lived in
this city for nearly quarter of century
and was known to have peculiar traits of
character, owing to which there is q di-
versity of opinion as to whether the man
met his death by accident or intended to
commit suicide.
One of the places where he was often
found was about Seventh and + streets,
and he frequently called at McDevitt's De-
tective Agency on + street. He was in the
habit of telling drol stories and comical
experiences. He often expressed himself
as believing that the best way to quit life
was to commit suicide, and said he thought
of ending his days in that manner. This
was always taken as a joke, but on ac-
count Of the circumstances of his death his
statements are now recalled by his friends,
some of whom believe that the deed was
nremeditated.

Judge McComas yesterday declined to
hear the testimony of Mr. Carr, in the

of the caveator. This closes the case for
Mrs. Carr, whose counsel announced the
conclusion of their evidence. There was
some little consultation among counsel on
behalf of Mr. Lambert and then Mr., NJ at
tingly made a formal motion that the
court take the case from the jury at that
stage of the hearing. Mr. Mattingly de-
livered a clear argument in defense of his
application, holding that the caveator in
no sense had ma de out case or established
undue influence as charged.

by One-Sided Score.

The valiant dragons representing the
Corcoran Cadet Corps met and vanquished
the athletes of the w. a. C. last evening
at basketball by the decisive score of IL
goals to 3. Though the game was played
in the circumScribed limit OF the Corcoran
gym, way up under the rafters Of the
armory, it furnished as many brilliant
plays as could have occurred in larger
hall. The fine work of Dodge, for the
Corcorans, was the feature of the game
One of his goals was made from throw
while lying fiat on his back.
Davis and Clark for the Corcorans, also
did well, each man making two goals
Crist, Thompson and Green for the w.
A. G. did most OF the work, each having
one goal to his credit
One young lady, accompanied by SOL
dier escort, actuated by feminine yerSity,
bet twelve pounds OF candy against the
