BASE BALL.

Reviewing the work OF the home
team last week it was not so bad after
az. 1t is true they lost three straight
games away from home, but they
redeemed themselves to a consldera-
BILE extent by lowering the colors OF
Williamsport on Friday and Sunbury
the leaders on Saturday. The attend
ance at the games, while fairly good
is not near as large as the quality OF
ball the boys are putting up deserve.
The management is sinking money,
procuring players that can play fast
ball and if possible bring the pennant
to Bloomsbury, but the town people,
or some of them at least think that
good players can be had and the
salaries paid without any gate receipts,
as many men, who it is known are
receiving salary of 500 and $40 a
month are viewing every game from
the outside of the fence. We all
want 10 see Bloomsbury finish the
season, and the only way to help the
management along is to pay quarter,
90 through the gate, and give those
beautiful young trees on the outside
of the fence chance to grow.
We defeated Williamsport on Fri
dav very easily. Lloyd started in to
twirl for the visitors, but it only took
two innings to convince him that he
had run up against a circumstance,
and Pop Ansell took his place. The
I latter did fairly well for two innings
but the Birds soon got on to his curves
and the way they Strengthened then
out for the old man caused depress
ed look to cover his face, and don
think its any guess work to say tina
cans" old boy was glad when TIT
game was over. Smith Of Wilkesbarre
took charge of the pitchers box TO
us, and the cranks are all of the opln
! ion that he will do. There were fou
home runs made, Seavers, Goodhar'
Patchen and Watts each having on
to their credit. Score:

several other articles that impressed the
householder as being essential to domestic
comfort at its best. and he wondered why

MURDER AND A SUICIDE

BALTIMORE. Nd, April 23.-The direc-
tors of the Baltimore and Ohio railway to-
day decided to pass the semi-annual divi-
dend or the Washington branch of The sys-
tenn. A semi-annual dividend Of per cent
was declared In November last, and the
reason assigned for the failure to declare
another at present Is ascribed to heavy ex-
penditures for improvements to road bed
and rolling stock.
The Washington branch, from Washing
ton to Baltimore, Is the oldest and mcst
profitable portion Of the Baltimore and
Ohio system. Half a million dollars of the
stock Is held by the state Of Maryland, and
the Baltimore and Ohio Company guaran-
tee an annual dividend Of 10 per cent on all
the stock. 1t is thought that the dividend

AGAINST THREE-CENT FARES.
The Indiana Law Declared to be I'm

The Indiana Law Declared to he I'm
constitutional.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 23.-Judge
Showalter of the United States court has
granted the injunction asked by the Citi-
zeps' street railroad against the enforce
ment of the three-cent fare law. The eff
feet will be return to five-cent fares.
The law is declared to be unconstitu-
tional because 1t IS special legislation, ap-
plying only to the city of Indianapolis. 1t
is the opinion of the court that where
proceedings in effect destructive of vest
ed property right are threatened by a de-
fendant in official position under color of
a void statute, the preliminary injunction
ought to issue.
President Mason of the Citizens Street
Railroad Company says the old flve-cent
fare law will be enforced tomorrow. He
says that no passengers will be elected
from the cars today for failure to pay full
fare, as they may not have heard of the
decision of the court. Mr.. Mason says the
iDJunctions granted are against the Citi-
zens Street Railroad Company. forbidding
the company to receive a 3-cent fare;
against State Prosecutor Wiltsie to pro-
hibit him from trying to enforce the Scent
law. and against the city, to prevent its
officers from doing aught to enforce the
Scent fare law.

NAVY YARD FIRE.
The Damage Increased By the Lack
Of Water.

The Damage Increased By the Lack
Of Water.
The exact amount Of d1mage done by the
fire at the navy yard will probably never
be known. for there was no record kept Of
the goods stored liz the building. A great
many personal effects were stored In the
building. and 1t Is said that some of the
goods were placed there before the war.
Many officers who were ordered away to
sea stored their effects In the building. and.
of course. there was 40 record kept of
them. The building itself. it is seid, was
nearly ninety years old. In the report Of
the fire made by the police the damage Is
estimated at SIS, GOO. Had it not been FOR
the trouble experienced by the firemen in
getting water the flames would not have
gained so grelt a Roadway. Until yester-
day Chief Paris thought that the navy
yard had as, good q water supply as any
place in the city. The pipes were put there
by the naval authorities. he says, and he
thinks the connections must be only about
two II ches when they should be six.
Speaking of the condition of the water
supply this morning tie chief said he
thought the pipes need q thorough over
hauling. and the work. he thinks. should
be done under the supervision of the city
water department.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch 10 The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, April 2s.-Opcning prices
this morning were about on a parity with
last nights closing level and were general
y well supported during the subsequent
trading. The foreign markets were less
ouoyant than yesterday. government Sc
cIrities rejecting fractional concessions as
well as the miscellaneous issues. Conflict
ing advfces from the scene OF hostilities In
the east keep the security market in a
state of continual apprehension.
Turkish victories continue to inspire con-
fldence in financial circles. but a signal
triumph Of the opposing forces would force
sharp reaction In all departments. The
successes of the Turkish forces are favor
ably construed only because of the convic-
ton that the peace Of Europe would not be
disturbed thereby. Once the latter con-
dition was threatened 1t 10 difficult TO de-
termine which country would attract the
strongest support.
While confident predictions of an early
settlement OF the difficulties are made on all
sides. there IL unQuestionable evidence of
fear that some trifling incident will force
other nations into the controversy. While
war gossip has direct bearing on the
foreign markets. IL serves only to empha-
size the narrowness Of the local specu-
practically doing nothing and traders find
few Inducements to activity in either &C
count.
The covering Of outstanding short con-
tracts in the coal shares was continued I'M
der the influence Of vague rumors relative
to improved conditions OF the trade. A
premium, thought by some to be wholly
artificial, was quoted on borrowed stocks
and served to present significant new sell
ing. Rumors Of a refunding scheme for
branch Of New Jersey Central were cir
culated to aid in the Strengthening process.
The public approval OF Vanderbilt re-
funding plans will inspire rumors OF similar
actions in impossible cases In which a short
interest is in process OF elimination. Liqui-
dalton and some professional selling OF
American spirits securities was one of the
most conspicuous features OF the days trad
ing.
This decline is difficult to explain in Wow
OF the recent advance In the company's
prospects. Rumors Of a general selling of
pool holdings accompanied the movement.
Covering in Western Union we'd to main
tain prices in that property, bu: the pre-
raiiing sentiment is still opposed tc a per-
manent advance from the present level.
The market as O whole was ore OF the
most embarrassing In several weeks. Prices
moved iistlessly within fractional limits
and no pronounced purpose was reflected
In any Of the days operations.
DisQuieting rumors from abroad resulted
in fractional declines during the first hour
but the volume of business was reduced
to a minimum.
