WOULD NOT BE IGNORED.
Cincinnati Woman Hcrsewhips Man Who
Refused to Visit Her.

CINCINNATI. Ohio. March 27.-James
Richardson. superintendent of the State
Free Employment Bureau, was publicly
horsewhipped in his Office here today by
Mrs. Hattie Scofield. who claims that for
four years and until recently Richardson
had been devoted to her.
She had arranged a trip to Chicago,
and sent word to Richardson to come to
see her before she left. He did not come,
but sent young woman to say that he
was better employed.
This enraged Mrs. Scofield, and buying
rawhide whip, she went to Richardson's
office. which was crowded with men and
women, and vigorously applied the whip
to him. Both were arrested and released
on bond.
The incident created intense excitement.
Richardson's lady stenographer, it is
claimed by Mrs. Scofield is the cause of
the incident, but she denies Mrs. Scofelds
jealousy charges.
Mrs. Scofield is a widow, and claims
Richardson promised to marry her.

Given at Washington Club Before Large
Audience,

The Euterpe Club gave a concert last
night at the Washington Club before a
large and representative audience. The
programme consisted Of selections from
the best composers and was highly apprc-
ciated. The first number was Rossini's
William Tell" rendered as piano duo
by Miss Anna L. Marshall and Mr.. An
gelo c. Fronani. The presentation OF this
opus was faultless as far as interpreta-
ton was concerned.
Mrs Ivy Herriott Shade sang Les
Files de Cadiz" in her usual accom-
plished manner. Mrs Shade is favorably
known to Washington concert goers. and
she is the happy possessor Of a sweet and
sympathetic, as we'll as strong and clear
soprano voice. Mr.. Fronani presented his
own "Paola and Francesca" in an effect
i've manner. Miss Margaret Dobbins sang
charmingly Song of Thanksgiving"
Fields Etude for piano as presented
by Mr.. Paul Fishbaugh was a rare treat.
Mr. Fishbaugh plays with an easy grace
and with much feeling. Mr.. Herbert Law
son rendered Haendels Honor and
Arms" apd Otto Cantor's "Bu Bist VIE
Fine Blume." Mrs. Ruth Simpson, who
sang Tosti's Dreams" possesses very
sweet and sympathetic soprano voice. and
her efforts were heartily applauded.

INSANE AT THE KEY.
Telegraph Operator Becomes Suddenly
Unbalanced While at Work.

INDIANAPOLIS. March 27.-Yesterday
afternoon number of confusing and ap
parently conflicting orders were flashed
over the wires TO trainmen on the Evans
vile and Terre Haute Railroad, and some
OF them were so manifestly erratic tina:
an immediate investigation was ordered
at the chief train dcspatcher's Office.
The trouble was soon explained when
it was found that Joseph Ehret, one of
the most reliable operators in the employ
of the company, had become suddenly in
sane while at his key. He was taken from
his work and became SO violent that he
had to be confined.
He is ffty-two years old. and has been
in the employ of the company. for thirty
years. Excitement incident to his work
and consequent nervous strain are the
supposed causes of his arrangement.

Senator'S Manager at Last
Shows Up in Washington.
DETAINED BY BUSINESS
fastened to This City on Receipt of
Telegram From Ban johnson Telling of
Wild Rumors Afioat-Wcrk of Training
Begins April 1.

Vanish all thoughts OF doubt away with
the idea that the Senators will not prance
and cayort on the local diamond this
year, for Thomas Lotus, the anXiously
awaited, much heralded manager OF the
Washington baseball team, came into his
own last night.
The ceremonies of installation were ex-
ceediGSly simple. He was met at the train
by Director G. Hector CIemes, and at once
escorted 10 the latter's residence, where
he will make his home temporarily. He
was given the glad hand by an anxious
delegation OF newspaper men; he was
greeted by several stockholders in the
club. Manager Tom Lotus had lifted the
veil of obscurity that has surrounded his
movements for week or more.
The advent of Manager Lotus will do
much to clear away the atmosphere of
the baseball situation. which has been
greatly befogged by reason of ruiGor5 &c
the eject that the Senators were to be
sent to the tall timbers and their place
assumed by Barney Dreyfuss and his band
of Pirates. That this action was never
contemplated by the American League IS
quite evident by the fact that Manager
LOTUS had not even heard of it until
reaching here.
He said that he had received tele-
gram several days ago from President
johnson in regard to some business the
latter wished transacted in Chicago, in
which Johnson advised him to leave for
Washington as soon as possible, as there
were some wild rumors afoat here. Lotus
says that he simply thought the Amer
lean League president wished to hurry
him about the Chicago matter, and as he
could learn nothing further, never gave
It thought again.
Senators Ready to Report.
The local fans have the word of Man
ager LOTUS that there will be profess
sional ball here this year, and that the
Senators, as at present constituted, will
report for duty to a man. Lotus assured
q reporter for The Times that every man
Eho has been announced as signed will
wear Washington uniform this year. He
says that he is not looking for any more
material, though, of course, il there is an
opportunity of strengthening the team it
Eill be embraced al once.
Manager LOTUS is one of the strongest
opponents to the system of trying to in
6uce man to jump a legitimate con-
tract. He said that there was not a man
on the Washington team who had disre-
gaTded his werd. and that IL he could
help 1t. there would not be. In speaking
OF the matter, he said that the National
League players were more than willing
to sign with any American club.
"a few weeks ago l could have picked
up any number of good men," Manager
Lotus continued. but they were all I'M

BALTIMORE, March 27.-JacI Bennett,
of McKeesport, received the second knock

entire five rounds not half dozen effect

the pink of condition. Bennett had the
advantage of weight, being twelve pounds
the heavier.
Both men started out cautiously. Their
blocking, feinting. and footwork was
admirable. For two rounds nothing was
done. Cans let Bennett do most of the
leading, and seemed to look for an open

said also that the police records show
the percentage Of foDndiings increases
in summer and decreases as regularly
with the oncoming of winter. IT is an
other interesting fact that hard times
mean more foundlings. and this may
be taken as a confederation of the the
ory of one of the oldest and most hui

any infant was abandoned except for
the reason that there were already too
many mouths In the house to feed.
This particular police captain would
look at the founding when the patrol

and then say: "Get 1t to the hospital
quick. They can afford to feed 1t
