TWO MURDER TRIALS.
Important Cases to BE Heard During
This Court Term.

The trial of two murder cases has been
arranged by District Attorney Henry E.
Davis, to take place during the present
term of the criminal courts of the Dis
trict The first case will be that of James
Powell. who is charged with the murder
OF Patrick Lee on the 11th of October last.
One of the most important witnesses for
the Government is Charles Fantroy, who
was an eye witness to the killing of Lee.
Fantroy has been in jail since the day he
testified before the coroner's jury, because
he could not give bond for his appearance
at the trial of Powell. During his stay in
Jail Fantroy is entitled to pay as a wit:
ness. Until next Monday. the day the trial
is to commence, Fantroys fee as witness
will amount TO s22S.75.

BASEBALL GOSSIP.
Current Talk From All Quarters of
the Diamond.

Ed Hanlon. of the Brooklyn club, is in
the slough of despond. His strong batters
are not hitting the ball, consequently they
are not scoring many runs. This is a ia
tality that affiiets all clubs at regular in
tervals. When team is not batting gen.
eral decentralization is sure to prevail. The
Washington team is in the same ship.
Freeman. Casey. and o'Brien. three hard
hiiters, are not batting a little Bit at pres
ent. but they viii inevitably come. and
soon. o'Brien, one of the best btters on
the team. has not as yet got his eye on
the ball, and there are others.
President Ebbitts and Secretary Won
der Horst's answer TO Col. John l. Rogers
episue with reference TO gate receipts at
Philadelphia was a caustic document ad-
dressed to facts and circumstances. potent
to all League magnates. These gentlemen
charge, and justly. that the magnificent
grand stand. with its expensive appurte-
nances. has been paid for largely in the
way OF donations in the way of reduced
gate receipts, the Brooklyn and other clubs
having received less per cent of the gate
receipts from the colonel's than from any
other League club, and that this unequal
rake-of had been going on for about seven
years. Therefore. these gentlemen claim
that Colonel Rogers request for its con-
unuation is unreasonable and unnecessary

There is no club in the League that has
a license to defeat the Boston team in
series of games. There are more artists
in the Boston club than in any OF the
other eleven. They are strong in every
department. Their infield is simply stone
wall-a star is found at every position:
their team work is reduced to a science.
The advantage of their long association in
team work cannot be estimated. One reg
ular man out OF place handicaps the en-
tire team. Like a broken cog on wheel,

RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
The Committee Is Hard at Work on
It's Preparation.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE river and
harbor commission has begun work in
river and harbor bill. Good progress
was made but the tentative decisions
from day to day on various items Will
not be ann&lnced until the bill is COM
pleted The first definite action was to
consider favorably a provision for more
promptness in relieving harbors of
wrecks and derelictS.
Under the present law the secretary
of war must notify the owner of a
wreck by advertisement for thirty days
before any action to sell or remove is
possible. In the meantime the wreck
may cause much damage and bring the
traffic of a harbor to a halt.
The maritime exchanges of New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and Balti-
more called attention to the need of
revision of the law and as a result the
coming bill will give the secretary Of
war ample power to act promptly as to
wrecks and derelictS when an emergency
is presented.
