An Explanation.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Kindly allow me space in your valuable
paper to correct a wrong impression con-
veyed by a statement made by me as a wit
ness before the coroner's jury in the case
of Fireman Charles A. Keefe, who was
killed in the accident to the fire truck at
Connecticut avenue and NJ street. In your
report of the case attention was called to
the fact that l had, before the inquest,
made a statement of my view of the acci-
dent to an attorney for the railroad COM
pany Some persons have insinuated that
was influenced in my statement before the
coroners jury by this visit Of the attorney
| desire to state for the benefit of such per-
sons that what l said on the witness stand
was facts given under a solemn oath.
In the second place, | am not person to
be influenced by any one from what know
to be right and just. The attorney for the
railroad called on me at my place of busf-
ness the evening of the sad occurrence and
in polite manner asked me If would give
him statement of what l saw Of the ac-
cident, which l did. Had the district at
torney, Chief Paris or any one else con-
nected officially with the District called on
me for similar statement 1 would have
given it as quickly as did to the attorney
for the railroad. / was not influenced in
any manner or by any one in giving my
testimony as did. 1 was the only one who
clearly and distinctly saw the approach of
both vehicles and could tell just how the
accident occurred, and my testimony was q
clean, unvarnished statement of facts.

IN GRATEFUL MEMORY.
COlOred Citizens Observe Anniversary
of EmancipatOr's birthday.

The odd Fellows Lyceum," a newly
organized literary society, under the au-
spices of the G.. U. o. of o. F., of the Dis
brated the anniversary Of Abraham Lin
coins birth in the presence of large au-
dience. The paper of the occasion was
read by r. S. Smith, a member of the local
bar in which he argued that the abolition
of slavery was necessary incident and not
the paramount object of the civil war; that
it was high time for his hearers to recog-
nize that fact; that emancipation was a
war measure, just the enfranchisement
of the colored man after the war was re-
garded as a political necessity. The essay
ist contended that it was technically true
that Lincoln freed the slaves, for 1t was
not until the issuance of the emancipation
proclamation that the colOred soldier be-
came a factor in the Union forces; so that
it was Just as erroneous for the cOlored
man to say that he emancipated himself as
for the white man to say that he alone
freed him. 1t is true he said, that the
white man spoke the word, and the word
became flesh in the shape of Union soldiers,
more than one-eighth of whom We're col
ored.
Jacob B. Askins Is president of the
lyceum, H. l.. Livingston secretary and
Thomas H. Wright chairman of the ad-
viSory committee.
The paper was discussed by Messrs. Har-
ris. White. Wright, Manning and others.
The Sunday schools of colored churches
generally observed yesterday as Lincoln
Memorial day, especially those of Congre-
gational churches, including the Lincoln
Memorial and the Peoples, using the spe-
cial program on Lincoln prepared by the
American Missionary Association.

HUSTLING FOR PLAYERS.
Manager Bryan Signs Catcher GOnd-
ing of Last Years kansas City Team.


ing of Last Years Kansas City Team.
Manager VIII C. Bryan of the Washing
ton American Association team has not
been letting any grass grow under his feet
in the matter of signing players for next
season. His latest catch has been Cy. Con-
ding, who was behind the bat for Manager
Manning's Kansas City Club last season.
Manager Bryan's mail is quite heavy these
days, majority Of the letters being from
players who are desirious of playing with
his club, and who submit terms for their
services. So far Mr. Bryan has secured
about seven players, and is signing them at
the rate OF about one day. At present ne
is negotiating with one of the twirlers OF
last years Georgetown team and as this
man wants to remain in this city the
chances are his name will soon be signed
to one of Mr.. Bryans contracts.
Charles Powers. the newly elected presi-
dent of the American Association. left the
city at noon today for Baltimore. Mr.. Pow
ers has been in the city since Saturday,
looking over the local field, and speaks very
favorably Of the general outlook for his or
ganization, both here and IN other cities,
As Seen in Cincinnati.
The Cincinnati Times-Star has the follow
ing article relative to base ball in Wash
ington, which will prove interesting reading
to the local fans. The article says:
The Washington club of the American
Association appears to be the most active
of the organizations In the new league in
the pursuit of talent for the coming sea-
son. The attacks of the management of
the team are specially directed toward the
players that Jimmy Manning expects to
place in Washington as representatives of
the American League. There are several of
Manning's s players wintering in Cincinnati,
and the local agent of the Washington AS
sociation club is particularly anxious to
get them to sign contracts with his team
1t is given out on good authority that
Catcher Cy. Gonding, who was with Man.
ming at Kansas City last season, and whom
Manning has booked for leading backstop
for his senators this year. has listened to
the voice of the tempter and has agreed to
go with the rival team in Washington

ranged and 1t requires only the sanction of

Ebbitts Seemed Shocked.

Yesterdays Philadelphia Press gives the
following interesting account of Manager
Mack's journey to Brooklyn for Willie
Keeler:
Mr. Mack last night admitted that Nc
Graw and himself had seen Keeer in
Brooklyn. 1t was to the latter city that
the two managers made their mysterious
trip Thursday night. In discussing the
visit to Brooklyn Mr.. Mack said:
The meeting with keeler was a very
funny affair. McGraw and l were at the
Clarendon Hotel, Brooklyn. when Keeler
happened to come in. We invited him to
lunch with us. AS passed into the dim
ing room who should be there but Presi-
dent Ebbitts and Manager Hanlon of the
Brooklyn club.
Were they surprised? Well, you can
bet E,bbittS was given a shock He nearly
jumped out of his chair his face turned
white and his eyes looked as big as saucers
1 guess it took him ten minutes to recover
consciousness.
Further than this Mr.. Mack declined to
discuss the Brooklyn trip.
Should the American League secure Ma
tional League players it is probable that
they would not be placed on teams in the
same city in which they played last year.
1t was the plan of the American Associa-
ton promoters last winter to have such
players shifted elsewhere. Thus, had Phfla-
delphia stars been secured they would have
been sent to the new Chicago club; Chicago
players would have been located in Boston,
and so on around the circuit.
While Manager Mack of Philadelphia is
non-committal regarding the names of
PLAYERS he has signed or hopes to get I'M
der contract it Is certain that that city
will have one of the strongest teams in the
American League. The officials of the lat
ter realize the Importance of the Quaker
city and it is reported that Mr.. Mack Will
have no obstacles put in his way by his
fellow magnateS in his efforts to get the
best players on the market.

Capt. Walsh Orders Out His Players
for Spring Practice.
While Georgetown's field and track ath-
letes are in daily training for the big indoor
meet at Convention Hail. Washington,
March 9, over a dozen raw recruits are
practicing regularly on the rowing ma
chimes getting themselves in condition for
work on the Potomac river. The regular
varsity players again available for the
base ball team are Catcher Cranston, Pitch
ers Blewett and Golden, First Baseman
Devlin, Second Baseman and Center Fielder
O'Hara, Shortstop Moran, Third Baseman
Smith, Left Fielder Walsh and Right Field
er Burbank. Moran and Walsh are strong
seasoned players. Blewett and DeVlin last
year gave promise of becoming stars this
year. Cranston is strong catcher and
should develop full strength this year.
Golden has the making of a star in him,
and Smith. O'Hara and Burbank are strong
felderS, Smith also being a good, steady
hitter.
Captain Michael Walsh has given out
notice that all candidates for the team will
be called out for field work within the
next fortnight and are expected to begin
limbering up indoors at once. Last years
coach, Jerome Bradley. Princeton, '97, has
been engaged for Georgetowns team the
his coaching March 1, so Captain Walsh
wants him to have his men in good condi-
ton when Bradley arrives. Bradley's ser
vices expire June % unlike last year, when
he coached Princeton for the college cham
pionship beginning May 1.
A canvass of the college for good base
ball material to develop for the varsity
team, has disclosed the presence of at least
ten promising players in college with var
sity prospects. Among these are six new
prospective pitchers. Donald Mckay, sub
pitcc.ner last year and center the foot ball
| team, has much talent as pitcher, which
thus far he has failed to control. In pitch
ing heretofore he has been as wild as a
March hare" his only good work being
against the Philadelphia League team last
April, on which occasion Lajoie proclaimed
him one of the hardest young pitchers to
hit he had ever faced. With careful coach
ing, which Mckay will receive this spring,
he should become a star.
