Wants Five Players.
It is rumored that manager Hug
gins wants Merkle, Herzog, Wilson,
Shafer and Burns for Konetchy and
Magee and a pot of coin besides. There
is little wonder there was a hitch in
the negotiation if any such eXorbitant
demand was made.
1 do not think that McGraw would
let young Shafer go under any circum-
stances, and feel sure too, that Shafer
would refuse to go to ST Louis, even
if he did figure in the deal.

than go there, and in that class

opinion they can both be considered

EXECUTION OF GREEN
DELAYED FOUR WEEKS
Respite Made Necessary by Appeal
From the Sentence of
Death.

There will be no hanging at the District
Jail next Friday. Nathaniel Green, col
ored, who was to have been executed
April p, was granted a respite of four
weeks today by Justice Stafford, presid-
ing in Criminal Court No. 1.
The action of the court was made neces-
sary by the appeal now pending in the
Court of Apeals, where the argument
cannot be heard before May 5. 1t is ex-
pected the appellate court will render a
decision before the date named in the
postponement.
Green was convicted of felonious as
sault on Mrs. Adelaide Z. Grant last
Christmas night. He entered a plea of
guilty, which Justice Stafford refused to
receive, and submitted the matter to a
jury. The jury set the punishment at
death.
The question involved in the appeal is
whether the court may refuse a plea of
guilty when the maximu mpunishment by
SO doing is thirty years in the peniten-
tiary. while a jury under the law has
the right to impose the death penalty.

TIDES NOT NORMAL.
Potomac River Shows Unusual Vari.
ance the Past Few Weeks.

Tides in the Potomac river for the past
three or four weeks have been ranging
either unusually high or the contrary and
such a thing as normal tides occur no
longer. Friday and Saturday the water
in the river on each high tide was to the
level of the sea wall about Potomac Park,
or went over it an inch or two. Satur-
day night the wind shifted to the north
west and blew gale. AS consequence
the water receded rapidly and yesterday
the level was very low, the river fats
being exposed almost all day and the
shoal docks about the harbor were bare.
A wood-laden schooner, which went
aground near Fort Washington in the
latter part of last week, was high and
dry on a mudbank. and at low water per-
sons could have walked around her with
out the water coming over their shoe
tops.
The current which started Friday has
run off. but the water in the river is
very muddy, and is keeping shad and
herring from coming to their spawning
grounds about this city.
