CHARGED WITH LARCENY.
George Carter Alleged to Have Stolen a
Number of Books.

George Carter. a negro thirty years Of
age. was lodged behind the bars at the
Sixth precinct station last evening with
several charges OF petit larceny regis
tered against his name. 1t is alleged
that during two months past Carter has
stolen about 5000 worth OF books be-
longing to Mrs. Martha W. Sylvester.
widow of the late Richard H. sylvcs-
ter. OF 1871 North Capitol Street, where
he had been employed.
Mrs. Sylvester has been unable to do
much reading OF late months, owing to
an affection of her vision. and she does
not know how long the stealing has
been going on. She had occasion to look
for book several days ago. and soon
discovered that many OF the rarest vol
umes In her library had been removed.
Captain Boardman assigned Detectives
Muller and Baur to work on the case,
and they soon recovered a number OF
the books. Circumstances pointed to
Carter as the thief, and he was taken
into custody.
He will not be arraigned in the Po-
lice Court this morning. but will be
held in order that the detectives may
have an opportunity to look up more
of the books.

Investigation.

sist him in finding some patent papers

He said he had searched through the
files Of the Patent Offlce all day Sunday

hand in the affair.

broom, and talked In rambling way Of
various subjects. 1t was thought we'll to
detain him until an inquiry can be made
into his sanity. and he was given REQ

McCabe TWirled Good Game

Postoffice Boys Unable to Connect With
His Delivery-The
Score.

The Postoffice team played its second
game in the Department League at Ma
tional Park yesterday with the Interior
aggregation. and dropped It to the lat
ter team by a score OF Q to 2. Wilkerson
twirled a good game for the Postofflce
lads, but was not supported we'll. He
managed to keep the hits down, but his
teammates would throw the ball to all
corners of the diamond, with the excep-
tion OF the right one. The Interior team
scored almost all OF their runs on err
rors. When the Postoflce lads went to
bases, but there was not a man on the
team that could bring them to the
counting block.
Bradley and Russell played well yes
terday, and the whole Interior team
supported McCabe in great style. The
latter pitched a good game, and steadied
himself on several occasions when the
mail men had men on the sacks. Wah-
ler, the regular pitcher of the Interior
nine. was not in the game. but Nc
Cabe rendered good service and won the
game for his team.
Cy Cummings got in a good swipe at
the leather in the fourth inning. and
the ball landed down IN the tall grass
in deep center garden. Cy attempted
TO stretch 1t into a home run, but was
called out by Umpire Veuable. Cy did
not like this. and straightway made
for Venable and threatened him bodily
harm. Manager Lamar, who is veri-
table giant. corralled Cummings and
took him 10 the bench. Venable put
Cummings out Of the game for his DEM
onstration. and Stalcy took his place.

Mr.. sleman and others of the committee
fer several days past, and after ascer-

yesterday to discuss the matter with

has been OF invaluable service in the
distribution Of the fund here.
Trolley Parties Best.
The present plan OF distributing the
tickets quietly among the needy and
allowing them to take the ride when
they may desire to do so is commendable
In many ways. avoiding publicity as 1t
does, but there are those who can bes,

most commendable movement. In each

The Chester Twirler Fares Badly in

Especial to The Washington rmes.)

BALTIMORE, July Pitcher AL orth,
OF the Washington team, was a very
much relieved gentleman at the end of
the third inning Of this afternoons
game, and the smile that had played
over his features before the game was
in evidence once more. For an entire
inning there was no smile on Albert's
countenance; indeed, there was a great
COB of gloom and chunk of surprise in
his neighborhood.
1t all was on account Of the fierce
manner in which the Orioles assaulted
his best delivered curves and swift high
balls-the ones that cut holes in the at
Eosphere up around the Baltimore play
ers' neckties, balls that were expected to
lower the batting averages Of the home
players, but which, on the contrary,
enabled the Orioles to pass the Sena-
tors In the race for the pennant and
shove the statesmen down to seventh
position.
Orth Highly Disguised.
Orth, at the end of the second inning,
was about as badly disfgured sample
of a baseball pitcher as has ever been
seen on the local grounds. His hopes,
his fondest aspirations for victory,
were all bagged at the knees, and the
distress signal was quickly hoisted.
When the next inning commenced an
other Washington hurler of balls. young
Townsend, was in the center of the dia-
mond.
In the eventful-for Orth-second inn
ing. there were more pyrotechnics
than we're observable in the heavens on
the night of the Fourth.
There were all sorts Of beautiful hits
sent I'D high in the outdoors, some FOR
one base, others for two cushions. few
for a trio of sacks, but all contributing
TO the general result, seven runs in the
one inning.
orth VOWS that never again will he
wear his three-ply smile when he at
tempts to pitch baseball in Baltimore.
Still, he took his punishment philo-
sophically, and remarked as he watched
the Orioles land on his substitute in the
third inning for four additional runs, Il
guess / was mighty lucky to get out
when / did. It's a wise pitcher who
knows when to yell enough, and your
Uncle Albert is wise all right, ali
right
Result Never in Doubt.
Townsend endured the cannonading
during the first inning he was in the
box, and afterward pitched good ball.
Throughout the contest there was
never any doubt as TO the final outcome.
The visitors could not do anything with
Howell. who put up a stiff article OF
ball, from the commencement to the end
of the game. Selbach had feast OF hits,
five safe cracks coming his way. while
Williams connected safely on three sep
arate occasions.
The absence from the game Of Cough
lin and Keister weakened the Senators
great deal.
Sharp fielding on the part of the home
team prevented the Washington men
from getting several runs across the
plate. The score:
