Boston, Mass, Aug. AFTER having his
game well in hand. weyhing went high in
the air in the ninth inning today. giving
then with two strikes on Bergen. Atherton
ran to hold Collins on third. leaving his
position unoccupied. Bergen landed sin
gle through the hole and Collins and Duffy
scored the winning runs. Washington out
batted the Bostons. Lewis was hit hard
by McGann, Freeman, and o'Brien, and il
the sixth inning split a finger in trying
to stop hot drive of Freeman, so that be
had 10 go out of the game. Bailey, the new
left-hander. went into the game. and but
one hit was made of him, not man reach
ing second. Weyhing's pitching up to the
last was superb. He had great command
and battling curves and mixed the balls ad-
mirably. McGann put up a great game
hitting like fiend and playing his position
for all ii was worth. Padden made some
great stops that were much admired Bon
ner did good work at second and took a
hand in a rapid double play. Atherton-s
work was good with the exception of his
uncalled-for break in the last, for which
he got severe call-down. SiASle made one
of his great catches in the eighth, pulling
down Tenney's long drive with two on bases
and saving two runs, TO the wonder Of the
crowd, which was yelling wildly, thinking
the ball must drop safely. o'Brien did
clever work in left.
For Boston, Bergen alone did any work
worthy of special mention. He returned
TO the game after an absence of two weeks
and in the first four innings threw out in
succession the three first visitors who
tried TO steal on him. He got great re-
ception from the crowd.
Washington was first to bat and scored
on SIagle's double and McGann's sisgle.
Boston responded with run on Hamilton s
bunt, on which Weyhing made an unnec-
essary throw that went wild, allowing an
extra base. Then Tenney sacrificed and
Long flied to oBrieD, allowing the run.
Washington scored in the fifth on
Freeman's triple and Kittridge's fly to
Stahl. In the sixth Lowe made a great
play on Slagle's bounder close to first and
iielded his man out in great style. 0'Brien
singled to left and McGann to right. the
former reaching third and as Stahl FUN
bled McGann got to second. Here was
Washington's chance to clinch the game,
Bonner struck out for the second time,
Freeman drove a hot one at Lewis and
was safe, 0'Brien scoring. Bailey then
went into the box. Padden flied to Lowe.
This ended the scoring for Washington.
Boston scored its second run in the
eighth on Loves triple and Bailey's sin
gle, and won out in the last, as has been
described. The score:

HALE TO BE EXAMINED.
The Contumncious Guardian Order
ed to Appear in Court


Charles B. Hale. who was arrested on
June 10 last for contempt OF court by or
der OF Justice Bradley for refusing to COM
ply with an order OF the court in relatio,
to his stewardship of the estate of his
ward. Mrs. Josephine NJ. Cooper. will to-
day be examined under oath as to his man.
agement OF the estate of which he has had
charge since last September. Since Hale
was committed to jail last June his friends
have been using every effort to have him
released, but so far have failed.
He was committed to jail as result of
the petition of his ward, Mrs. Cooper, ask
ing for his removal as her guardian, she
alleging that he was misappropriating the
funds of her estate. She alleged that he
had collected about 81, 200 and that when
he was called upon for an accounting it
was found that he had appropriated be-
tween $1,000 and 81, 400 of this amount to
his own use. 1t was supposed until this
accounting was asked for by Mrs. Cooper
that the funds of her estate were on de-
posit with the Washington Loan and Trust
Company. At the time of Hale's appoint
ment as guardian for Mrs Cooper it was
not expected that the value OF the estate
would be near as large as it is. In conse-
quence he was only asked to give bond in
the sum of 1000. This he did, Mrs. Coop
Oi SuIely- NHbn lQ6
exact amount of the estate was learned
Hale was called upon to give bond in the
sum of $1,000. This he failed to do, and
an accounting was asked for.
Yesterday, Hale, through his attorney,
+. f. Colladay, appeared before Justice
Cole, sitting in probate, and asked for his
release. This request was supported BY
afiidavits of Hale and his wife and others
who knew him. The affidavits were to the
effect that Hale was possessed of no proper
ty which could be converted into money
TO male good his shortage. Further than
this, 1t was stated that so long as he is
kept confined in Jail he will not be able to
refund the money he used belonging to the
Cooper estate.
The affidavits also went to snow that
Hale's wife, besides being in very straight
ened financial circumstances, was also in
bad health. and though willing ID co SO,
for this reason and because of the fac. tina;
she must take care of her child, she is un-
able to contribute to the support of herself
and the child and her mother, who is also
dependent upon her.
Hale's counsel contended that If Hale
were released he is willing and woull make
every effort to refund the money which
he has misappropriated. Aside from this
view of the matter, Mr.. Colladay stated
that Hale's continued incarceration would
serve no purpose except that OF revenge
for Mrs. Cooper. Attorney C. C. Tucker
who represented Mrs. Cooper and her In
terests, maintained that TO release Hale
upon the showing made by his counsel
would be unusual proceedings, and re-
quested the court to have Hale summoned
to appear in court today and be examined
as to his management of the Cooper estate
Justice Cole made this order and the hear
ing was continued until this morning.

Five Suspicious Characters Sent to
the WorlshOuse.
Policemen Frazer and Davis, two of the
recent additions TO the force, who are de-
tailed in the First precinct, made an impor-
tant capture at an early hour yesterday
morning They arrested and locked up
Lewis Thompson aged twenty-five years /;
Wesley Harris, eighteen years; Lewis
Fletcher, nineteen years; David Caldwell,
nineteen years, and John Gray, twenty-five
years of age, who were charged with sus-
picion. The men are all colored and were
arrested in Louisiana Avenue near the Gen.
ire Market. They were arraigned in tn
Police Court yesterday afternoon and SEN
fenced to serve terms in the workhOuse
ranging from sixty to $50 days The most
severe sentence was imposed on Thompson,
who was also charged with carrying con-
ceaIed weapons. When searched at the STA
ton he had in his possession dangerous
looking revolver.
The arrest OF the men was the result OF
numerous complaints received by the po-
lice from merchants in Louisiana Avenue
and that vicinity, TO the effect that almost
nightly depredations were being committed
on their stock. The complaints became
so frequent that Lieutenant Amiss became
convinced that a weil-organized gang OF
thieves was at work. Lieutenant Amiss de-
cided to put stop to the thefts, and de-
tailed Policemen Frazer and Davis in citi-
zen's clothes to watch for the nocturnal
marauders. Though the policemen are
practically novices, they handled the matter
like experts and the result was that they
rounded up the entire gang which they
caught almost in the act of committing
other thefts When the men were arraigned
in court little difficulty was experienced in
convincing Judge Taylor of the dangerous
character of the prisoners before him, and
he complimented the policemen on theiI

Street southeast, it was decided TO drop
the Congressionals from the league and
continue the season with seven clubs. The
forfeit money put up at the beginning of
the season was returned to the Congress
sionals.
The game yesterday afternoon resulted
In a surprise. The Hamiltons developed
a peculiar fondness for Cummings deliv-

old, was arrested yesterday evening by

volved in dispute. which wound up in
a fight. During the disturbance Herbert
grabbed heavy shovel and beat Wash
ington over the head, infiicting serious in
juries, which 1t was thought at the time
would prove fatal.
After the assault Herbert fed to this
city. where he has lived since. Constable
Vincent, who has been at work on the
case, arrived here yesterday and informed
the police that he had reason to believe
the fugitive was in the city. Detective
Hartigan was detailed to locate the man

Hugh j. FitzmOrris' Answer to His
wife,s Petition for Divorce.

Hugh j. FitzmOrris' Answer to His
wife's Petition for Divorce.
The story of the domestic infelcities Of
the Fitzmorrises as told by Hugh ]. Fftz-
morris, is very different from that recited
by his wife, Laura Fitzmorris, in her petit
tion for divorce filed some days ago. Her
story of the causes which led her to take
the step she did was stated that her hus-
band was employed by his father as his
chief clerk in his grocery store, at the cor
ner of II and Thirteenth Streets northwest,
and that he received a large salary, but
that instead of supporting her he spent his
money on himself and others. She also al
legged that he has a one-half interest in a
large estate valued at 100000, and that he
was always well dressed and had desire
for wearing diamonds. Mrs. Fitzmorris
also alleged that her husband deserted her,
leaving her without means of support for
herself and her child.
In his answer, filed yesterday through
his attorney, James b. Green, Fitzmorris
denies each and every one OF the charges
made against him by his wife He admits
having left the city, but said it was for
the purpose of obtaining employment,
which failing to do he returned and went
to work for his father. Ii never was his
intention to desert his wife, he states.
Further tnan tnls, ne aileBes that after MS
departure from the city, and while he was
in search of employment, he was informed
that his wife did not conduct herself as a
good and dutiful wife should. but, on the
contrary he says she received the atten-
tions of strange men and made frequent
trips to the river resorts with them, and
has been known to have been seen drink
ing with them in public cafes.
Fitzmorris states that he spends very
little money for his clothes, and so far as
his wearing diamonds is concerned the
charge, he says, is utterly false. The only
ornaments of this kind which he wears, he
states, are cheap paste limitations OF the
real stones. Fitzmorris also states that he
has no interest in the property referred to
by his wife in her petition for divorce.
