RAILROAD LINES. THE ARTIST OF TOD AT. STEAMSHIP L.INES. VIRGINIA AFFAIRS. THE association grounds between tbe Westerns, of Baltimore, and the Frederick Club, resulting in a score of 19 to 14 in favor of the Fredericks.

Owing to the recent rains the grounds were in bad condition. The Frederick Club plaved their new battery, consisting ot Bauer, of Hanover, pitcher, and Champllne, of Baltimore, catcher, for the first time. The visitors had the Drummy brothers. Bauer struck out nine and Drummy four. Tbe game was witnessed by a large number of people.

Seven straight games for Baltimore Rnd first place. Not being an illustrated paper accounts for the non-appearance of a rooster at the head of this column. The Paciflo Base-Hall Club defeated tbe Franklins yesterday by 21 to 19. Battery for tbe winning nine Talbott and Lenhoff. A game of base-ball at Stowman'a Park resulted: Young Americana, 46; Hickorys, 13.

Battery for winners Porter and Mond: for loeers Sheridan and Thompson. ThePmsburg-Chicago game was postponed on account of rain. MUNICIPAL MATTERS. BASE-BALL, Baltimore Wins Again and, with Rain In St. Louis, Captures First rsoeeial Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Philadelphia, May 5.

The Baltimore-Athletio game today was almost a repetition of that of yesterday, the Baltimores winning in the first inning, when they again made four runs, chiefly through the errors of their opponents. Three men in this inning made base hits, but not one of the runs was earned. A base on balls, a man hit by a pitched ball, two wild pitches, a passed ball and errors by Flanigan and Larkin contributed to the run-getting. Thereafter the battery work of the Athletics was nor. go bad but in the course of the game Weyhing' gave six men bases on balls, hit one with a pitched ball and had two wild pitches, while Roxburg had seven passed balls.

The game was made dull by the poor work at the start, but was enlivened in the last inning, when tbe Athletics came very near tieing the score, which stood seven to five in favor of Baltimore. Larkin had obtained his base on balls, when Lyons hit a came within two feet of going over the fence, for a home run, but Lyons only got to second base. Again there was a chance for a tie. Flanigan hit the ball to deep centre field, but Gnffln made a fine catch and ended the game. The Baltimores played weU in the field.

Trott was a little off in his throwing to second base, and allowed six men to steal bases on him, but otherwise the battery work was good. Davis distinguished himself on third base by clover stops and throws. Greer, ot the Athletics, Who played with tho Baltimores last year, was poor at the bat and made a bail mulL The Athletics again made more hits than the Baltimores, it standing 9 for Athletics to 7 for Baltimores, but they only obtained three bases on balls to the Baltimore's 6. Mr. McQuade, the umpire, was obliged to lecture Smith on his pitching, and required hirn to face the baiter.

The same clubs play Washington, they say, wen to Boston at once before attempting the task of our independence. Our friend the "Colonel," under the influence of the time-honored julep, found Utopia in the midst of the ancestral dilapidation of old Virginia, but our fellow-citizens of today, it may be under the overshadowing influence of New York, seem to have lost their past pluck and pride, and appear but too often as apologists rather than advocates of Baltimore's merits. Mr. Garrett, in bis Chicago speech, spoke or this disposition of our people to "down" their in striking contrast to the opposite habit of Chicago, and an English banker found us "Baltimoreans only in name." "New York," he said, encountered him everywhere, aud even the oysters he ordered as a tribute to our gastronomic reputation were served "a la New Yorkl" The men who fought in the Maryland Line, manned the clipper privateers and Fort McHenry, and undertook the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad as the first great enterprise of the kind in the world, had faith in themselves. Let our Charity hope that.

Faith may be recalled. Boom Baltimore to the verge of bigotry and beyond the "Belt!" Take in Anne Arundel if you want her. Study geography and find out which side of the bay Annapolis is onl Then visit the lovely scenery ot Frederick, which General Bradley Johnson has so eloquently described, the Blue Ridge and the Alleganies. Indorse General Seth's bonds, and go to the Eastern Shore and Ocean City. Join the Historical Society and expand your rests with terrapin and State pridel You will then feel in a disposition to employ all the artists to illustrate the scenery and history, flora, fauna and zoology of their own native land, and the result will be a feeling of infinite satisfaction in the originality you will evolve.

The Charcoal Club will glow wiih just pride, and its members strike for higher wagesl Why not invite to your association those who are interested in such manufactures as art may affect? Why not obtain a knowledge of the plants and flowers peculiar to this latitude and introduce them in designs applicable to architecture, pottery, wall paper or furniture, or present them simply as studies of nature to the people? Let your artists seek subjects of local interest and derived from their personal experience or observation. The experiment is at least worth trying. I fear to exhaust your amiable patience by perhaps impertinent or unwise suggestions, except that as provocatives of discussion they may serve to enliven yout meetings. One yet remains which I cannot forbear presenting, though as a suoject of discussion its delay might not be acceptable. That picture of Van der Heist, "The Banquet of the Civic Guard," as fresh today as when painted, with the personages as real as photographs, I would suggest in every way as an example to your club.

It is a practical application of realistic principles, and portrays asocial gathering and a civic duty as appropriate to Baltimore as to Amsterdam. A band of brothers are united i.i-a common interest, and their cheerful countenances display no unsoldierly apprehension of defeat ia the attack which is about to open. A touching interest is attached to the two most prominent figures. As they grasp one another's hands they look significantly to a foaming tankard. As an American, thrilled with patriotic emotion, this touch of nature involuntarily recalled to me the famous remark made by the Governor of North Carolina to the Governor of south Carolina.

May the suggestive art of Holland find a worthy follower in the Charcoal Club of Baltimore. Athletic ki ui a i Poormar.r. f. ll 0 0 0 Lartiu, 1. 12 2 1, 1: Lyons, 3b 2 4 2 3 I) 1 10 Oi 1 "Bauer," 1 2 3 2 2.

The Phillies had out their pony team today, and their good fielding alone saved them from defeat, as they were unable to bit O'Day's somewhat wild delivery, only three clean hits being charged against him. Buffington pitched for tbe visitors up to the seventh inning, when Ferguson went into the box, Fogarty to second base and Gunning to right field. Only three hits were made during the remainder of the game. Af tar two men were out in the ninth inning O'Day made first on a scratch hit in front of the plate, went to third on passed balls, and tie-i the gams on Carroll's hard hit to centre. Hines made a beautiful hit to left centre, which looked good for three bases, but Wood, after a long run, captured it in fine style.

The visitors needed one run to win; but although Mulvey got around as far as third base, bo was cut off at that point by a neat throw of Dealey to Donnelly, catching the runner too far away from his base. The feature of the game was a double play by Kreig and Donnelly. Wood, and Irwin took first and second respectively on called balls. Buffinton hit to Donnelly, who touched third, putting out Wood, and then threw wild to Kreig at first. Tbe big first baseman pulled the ball out of the clouds with One hand and cut off Irwin, who was making a dash, for third base.

The batting of Hines and Schock and the base-mnning of the latter were worthy of mention. The home management received the visitors with a band of music, and the veteran Harry Wright was cheered as he led his team upon the diamond. Score: WASH GTON. iB :0 A I Phila. OAK Carroll.

Mayer, of Annapolis. I Reported for the Baltimore Sun.l The interesting paper read by Frank B. Mayer, the artist, at the Charcoal Club, oa the "Position of tbe Artist of Our Day," is as follows: A merchant said to me one day, "You artists are not business men," to which I responded, "You business men are not artists;" a retort which, though proper and right, I have since believed a natural revolt against a statement not altogether just, but also implying an antagonism which should not exist. A merchant finds his reward in supplying a needed demand, and is regarded and respected as a useful and indispensable factor of our civilization. Not so tbe artist, who is popularly regarded as an amiable dreamer of uo practical use, -with the limited functions of aiding the upholsterer aud frame-maker in iba embellishments of the home3 of luxury.

I sar popularly because in the success ot your association, as in the great art movement which is slowly pervading the country, there is an assurance of a more healthy understanding of the artist's place as a useful and practical man. When we recall the fact that such practical results as the steamboat, the electric telegraph and photograph as well as in our city the first use of gas as an illuminator, are doe to the inventive brains of Fulton, Morse, Daguerre and Rembrandt Peale, who were artists, at least the existence of the capacity to be useful must be conceded. Nor must we forget that Charles Wilson Peale, the father of American art, a Mary lander, was as remarkable as an inventor and mechanician as he was distinguished as a painter, engraver and naturalist; a patriot soldiet and pioneer of science, he ws surely a useful and practical man. We need only mention the names of Leonardo da Vinci as anticipating modern inventions, Michael Angelo as a great or Rubens as the diplomatist, to prove that the faculty of practical application of tbe imagination is a characteristic of the artistic temperament. Conceding to the artist the possession of peculiar faculties and the fact that they have been applied to strictly practical ends, why is it that he is not regarded as a "business man" or classed among the useful and needed workers in the world of toda? Evidently there is a misunderstanding somewhere, either by the people or the profession, or by both.

What we know of nations is for the most part tne history ot their art. The character, the daily life, the aspirations aud the soul of India, Egypt, Oreece, Italy and Holland are read in tneir art, and are the distinct expressions of national feeling and patriotism. A traveler in Holland is puzzled to know whether the pictures suggested the nature or nature the pictures, so well do they reflect one another; as accurately, indeed, as the toppling gables of Amsterdam are repeated iu the canal below. All art which we value or which has endured is intensely local in its character and not to be transplanted. The classic buildings of London are covered with soot, and the leeble sunlight is powerless to reveal the beauty of mouldings and capitals designed under the influence of the sun of Greece.

They shiver and are dumb in the murky fog, while the English manor-house or the Gothic cathedral, the indigenous products of iheir time and climate, seem at home, and only gain in beauty as time decorates them with tender tones. The Madonna of St. Sixtus is an Italian woman, holding an Italian child, vet destined to appeal through ail time to all humanity. The Greek statue which preserves to us the form of some victor iu the Olympian games is an inimitable masterpiece, because the public sentiment and social habits which caused it to be made can scarcely recur. Hogarth and John Gilbert are very English, -you know," and modern German and F'rench art is valued in proportion to its possession of those mental characteristics which distinguish their national schools.

Of French art, its success and universal acceptance i3 largely due to the very clear understanding ot what art is, a definite knowledge of the limits and possibilities of the picture, the statue or the drama. Tbe French painter does not attempt the worn of the writer, but exhausts the powers of expression as they exist in forms and colors. The sculptor knows what can be done in stone or bronze, and by form alone, and within what range of thought, feeling or action he must coufine himself. Besides this, the French artist is master of his trade and a skillful workman in the material he uses. His perceptive faculties and handicraft have been developed together, and if he possesses reasoning powers, the imagination and the heart of a man, he becomes an artist indeed.

Lacking this combination or possessing it in a limited degree, he finds the employment his ability commands in some one of the many directions where art becomes interwoven witn utility as a co-worker with the architect, the engineer, the gardener and park-maker, and in the broad scope which manufactures of all kind offers to his fancy or skill. Not only in the highest raDge of art, where the government is the only patron, but also in" all the ramifications of life, wherever beauty can lend a grace to utility, does the French artist find employment. The superiority of French gloves over others lay in the fact that the maker had studied the shape of the human hand. However limited the ability of the artist, he finds a place where his sense of beauty and training in her laws can be turned to account. Worth, who sits in the imperial throne of fashion, and dictates the laws of dress, was educated as a sculptor.

The French artist is primarily a workingman, happy because useful, and self-respecting as linked with this national life, for the wealth of France lies largely in the art which gives tastes to her manufactures. Between Ban-dry, who decorates the opera house, and the potter who give3 a grace to a teacup there lies a long ranee of effort recognized as useful and essentially French in its expression. In these two facts, as shown in one nation as an example, have we not in a measure solved tbe problem of tbe artist's position trtat he is a useful man in his sphere, and that success lies in the direction of his national characteristics? The philosophy of art, a3 explained by Taine, lies in the influence of his surroundings, upon the artist and the co-operation of the artist and the employer, be it the state or an individual, in the effoit to embody Some home feeling or Lational aspiration in a form of beauty. Art in America ha3 produced the "dude," who carries his umbrella whenever tbe telegram tells him it is raining In London, dresses like a groom, and imitates the awkward gait and bad manners of what be imagines an Englishman. Is this the hero of American art, towards which we tend in our admiration of foreign work alone, or of travesties upon our nature as seen through French or German spectacles? An English gentleman, who visited Baltimore and wished to see our galleries, was told of the foreign master-pieces we possess.

"Those," said be, "I have seen in France and Germany; let me see your own art, your American pictures." England, to her credit, is proud of her own artists, and so is France and Germany. Good pictures, old or new, should be welcome as strangers are welcome, but must we beggar our homes in the stranger's entertainment? Are our eyes out of gear (and Dr. Reuling here) that we can only see distant objects, and are blind to sights near borne. Is an art or school of art distinctively American among the impossible or hopeless things? The wars which isolated England from tbe continent developed a national self-reliance, in which her art shared when she ceased to be an imitator of other schools. To this was added the establishment of art schools particularly directed to the improvement of taste in manufactures and handicraft.

As a consequence a better understanding of art and its application has been diffused, and the artist has ceased to be regarded as an erratic crank dependent upon the patronage of a few. To mend matters with us a more cordial relation must exist Detween the artist and the people. The business man must become an artist in so far a3 to share the iatter's perception of beauty and observation of nature. Seeing or imagining pictures, he will naturally seek the artist's company and employ him to realize what he shares as a common want. The general blindness to our surroundings and ignorance of our geography, history and nature have much to do with the estrangement which leads to regarding art as an exotic.

The artist sees pictures everywhere; the most of people only as painted cloths in gilt frames. If we knew our nature better, if wo were interested in our history, the carvings of our houses would reproduce the leaves and flowers of our fields, and the panels within would mirror the expanse of our own seas and mountains, or revive the life of the past or record the present. Truth, freshness and character would attract the strangers, while the home interest would appeal to the most untutored. Our manufacturers would catch a charm from the nature they imitated and acquire involuntary peculiarities resulting from the infinite variety of forms or color which a copy of nature would produce. The artist needs this education not less than the people.

Trained abroad, with the most impressible years of his life spent under foreign influences, he naturally yields to the powerful force which the completely developed schools of Europe exert. Acquiring the skill and time-honored precepts of "his masters, his habits of observation and invention are limited to reminiscences of their works. If this training took place at home, aided by a constant reference to nature in his earlier years, his impressions would be of home, and foreign study could later bo useful to mature his judgment. He should be a man of his day and generation, and feel with the people the need ot such work as tbe time demands. In an humble home we sometimes smile at the crude art, which, in the shape of a cheap print, presents a portrait of the owner's ideal of heroism or reflects his religious sentiment, or in violent colors depicts a terrible conflict of our army or navy.

Uo not his relations to art recall, in backwoods fashion it may be, the Greek who looks with cirio pride on the procession of the Parthenon, or the Flemish burgher who points to the painted panels of the town hall where Van der Heist has painted him and bis jolly friends engaged in the military duty of attacking smoked ham and foaming beer. In Greece the spirit of patriotism produced a Phioias as in Holland and Flanders, a Van der Heist, a Rembrandt and a Rubens. National art may serve a double purpose. In the coitage of a Savoy peasant 1 found a series of our revolutionary generals filling the role of the twelve apostles to the entire satisfaction of the owner's devotional feeling. It i9 true that in our day the extraordinary facilities of travel and the accurate research and discoveries of archajology, added to the convenience of the photograph and the morce scientific training of the artist, has produced an art which is interesting as a faithful presentation ot facts of history or geography, but is only valuable as art in so far as it appeals to universal humanity through local truth, though how far it would be satisfactory to tho people it represents is bard to answer.

We cannot go astray if we paint or model what is around us, or whatever our people honor in our history. Within the scope of our nativity, our State or home, we have the widest range of natural beauty, endeared by early impression and association. Our history does not lack incident or picturesquesness of surroundings, and our artists euould not lack the knowledge and imagination to create. If need be, ideals which can be accepted as local birthrights, as in the national anthem, due to the glowing genius of a Keyl But without a response from the public they are powerless. A mutual reaction of artist and people must exist, and tbe want of art must be felt as tbe prompting of home-love.

Where art exists wiih us a local pride, not unfrequently amusing in Its bigotry, fosters and encourages it. The citizens of "brotherly love" believe that for blue blood and good butier they stand uurivaled, and that whatever is of the best can be bought in Philadelphia, if anywhere. The cultured Bostonian regards with compassionate condescension the uninformed unfortunates have not reached the central bub ot civilization. Even MKRCHAKTS AND MINEK'Sj 1 iff TKANSPOKTATION COMPANY.

tmhsS3 The Debt Commission Probable Collapse of Negotiations. ISpecial Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Richmond, Va May 5. Preliminary reports from the joint legislative committee on the State debt were presented in the two houses today. On this tho committee says: "That they have ascertained that the counsel of foreign bondholders virtually influence a majority of the consol and tsn-forty bonds of Virginia, and the committee believe that any agreement made with this commission will he accepted by the bondholders and will forever settle the debt quostion, which has been for so long a period a disturbing element in our State. Your committee, fortified by an array of figures and facts which they regard as unanswerable, have endeavored to satisfy the commission that beyond a certaiu sum it would bo utterly impossible for the people of this State to provide means to meet the obligations to the creditors of the State.

Finally a proposition, or rather a suggestion of a basis of settlement, was presented by the commission, which reauired a sum of money to be provided to meet the interest that would exceed so far the revenue of the State availablo for the payment of interest on tho debt that, whilst the members of your committee differed, to some extent, as to the amount of revenue applicable to the payment of interest on the debt, your committee felt compelled to say to ihem most firmly, that upon that basis it would be improper for this negotiation to proceed further. Until this difficulty was removed any further consideration or tne remaining feal ures of the proposition suggested was unnecessary." he report says that the commission asked for time to communicate with their principals by cable, which was allowed them. The mm'itiee adjourned till Saturday to aliow St Edward Thornton the opportunity desired. The report intentionally omits to name the amount indicated by each side as a basis of settlement. It is partly conceded, however, that, as stated in the dispatches, these were 3 per cent, on the Kiadlebersrer bill on the part of the committee and interest annually claimed by the English gentlemen.

While the other members of the committee maintained that the revenues of the State would not yield more than enough to pay the interest on the Rid-dieberger debt and support the government. Speaker Stuart and Messrs. Pollard and Figgett were somewhat more liberal. In legislative circles it seems to be the impression that the negotiations have collapsed so far as agreeing upon a settlement is concerned. A resolution was introduced in the Senate today to donate to the Lee Monument Association a space of ground on the south side ot the Caoitol Square for tho erection of a monument to Gen.

R. E. Lee. The democratic legislative caucus tonight decided it inexpedient to adopt a constitutional amendment changing the time for holding the elections for Governor, other general ollicers and members of the Legislature. The proposition was to elect these officers on tho same day that the national elections are held.

The objection to the change is that it would mingle federal with State politics. Gov. Lee, who accompanied Miss Thornton to Washington Tuesday, returned this evening. West Virginia Legislature. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Charleston, w.

May 5. Ia the Senate the resolution passed by the lower house yesterday indorsing the interstate commerce bill, and tendering thanks to representatives of this State iu Congress, was passed. The remainder of the day was taken uo in considering the general appropriation bid. In the lower house a bill for the relief of wholesale and retail tobacco dealers from taking out licenses was passed: also, a bill requiring Circuit Court clerks to certify all claims allowed to auditor was passed. The bill to regulate freight and passenger tariffs in this State occupied the greater part of the day in the lower house.

It is believed that tho Legislature will adjourn Saturday. Sentenced to be Hanged. Petersburg, May 5. In the Prince George County Circuit Court today. Judge Hancock sentencedJHolmes R.

Puryear to be banged July 15 next for the murder of his wife by poison. The crime was committed in Dinwiddie county nearly two years ago. By a change of venue, Puryear was tried in Prince George county aud convicted. The case was taken to the Supreme Court, but that tribunal affirmed the judgment of the court below.

Henry Stockbridge in the chair. Mr. John T. Ford submitted the following paper, which was adopted: "We hear that Balti-moro street should be widened at the narrows; Lexington street extended east; Fayette street widened and straightened from Calvert to Liberty street; North street made an avenue clear of local obstacles; that proper sewerage should be given the western aud other sections; moie acboolhouses should be erected, nat policy ouaht we to pursue to realize the greatest good to the future of the city that was designed to be so great by iis locality, and became the third in importance when our forefathers directed its destinies, but which has now been retarded by its restraining boundaries. The policy that 1 advocate is that the major and city council submit to the voters the act of Assembly permitting the loan of $5,000,000, with the proper restraint of using only the per cent, of it annually in permanent improvements.

Every dollar will be spent here in substantial improvements worth their cost, the material and workmanship will be apparent to every eye, the use of which will be of greater value than the cost, and ice will hnve them. "Bet us urge our city government to submit tho act for the approval of the people "the source of all authority," with a confident hope of its almost unanimous approval at the municipal election in October next, and tho judicious use of the loan year after year of the coming decade. "Practically our city debt bearing interest raised by taxation is about twelve million. The sinking fund contains nearly six million and is increasing about one-third of a million annually. It is probable thai within three yea-s the interest-paying debt can be reduced to five million, and most of it placed at about three per cent.

A new five million loan for city improvements could be made to iucrease the taxable basis sufficient to meet its interest and sinking fund reserve by enhancing values in tbe various neighborhoods where it would be expended at the rate of per year. This would cost the city for interest and sinking fund annually tor each half million. If the improvements secured enhances in their neighborhoods property so as to yield $20,000 annually, the city practically would absolutely gain all the outlay in the direction of needed improvements without any increase of taxation, and at the same time possess the improvements forever for the benefit of her people. All the money would be expended for labor and material within her boundaries." A BIG ENTERPRISE. Contract to Construct Buildings for the South Baltimore Car Works.

fKeoorted for the Baltimore Sun.l The estaDlisbment of the South Baltimore car works is now an assured fact. The contract lor the buildings bas been given to Messrs. Philip Walsh Sons, the lowest bidders, at The machinery will cost as much more, so it is estimated that the plant will be about $100,000. These works will be supplied with tae finest equipment iu tho United States. The capacity of the' establishment will be from 8 to 12 perfect cars per day, and, at small expense, can be increased from fifteen to twenty cars per day.

Tbe works have very flattering prospects, as it is said lariro contracts have been secured which will keep them running for a long time, and other contracts are being arranged. The South Baltimore Harbor aud Improvement Company, on whose lands theso works are to be erected, are now contracting for streets to bo Liid out near these worKs, to be pared and curbed tbe samo as in the city, and expect to have several hundred houses ready for occupancy by tho time the works are finished. The president of this company is Mr. William S. Rayner.

Tho superintendent ia Mr. Howard Carlton, of Columbus, Ohio, and formerly superintendent of the B. and O. car shops in that place. It is expeced that from to 500 families will be given employment.

beso families will occupy the bouses of tho company, and great impetus will be given to Curtis Bay by the enterprise, and it will be of benefit to the wbole city. The buildings of the works proper alone will occupy an area of twenty acres, and this gives a good idea of the extent of the undertaking. The entire capital stock of the company has been subscribed by Baltimore capitalists. The president ia Mr. Wm.

Keyser, and the board of directors are Messrs. Robert Garrett, Wm. 8. Kavner, David L. Bartiett, Thomas Deford, Oliver A.

Reported for tho Baltimore Sun.l State Tax Commissioner Woolford bas not yet turned In to City Collector L. N. Hopkins the assessments from the State department, which are necessary before tho bills are made out.

It is thought that they wi.l bo sent in by May 20, when tho books are Intended by tho tax department to be opened. An officer of the city tax department says: "The assessments for 18H0 are very unsatisfactory to the department here, and it is intimated that tho figure? against big corporations, which are assessed by tho State lax commission, must exhibit a more favorable basis for the collection of Just taxes, or they will not bu entered on the collector's books. The figures of 13hG are said to show either that the stocks and bonds of the corporations are worthless or that the taxes upon them are but a small fraction of what they should be. It is claimed that it the assessments are a correct basis for judgment, the bonded indebtedness is greater than the whole amount uf tho property pledged a collateral. Tho gas companies aro picked out as samples of this exhibit.

1 he Chesapeake Company, which is taxed closer than the others, is said to have a bonded debt of its mains are 03 miles long. Its sold Bhares are 14,910, and it is assessed at $885,600. The Consolidated Company bas a bonded debt of tit.GUO.OUO, 223 miles of mains, 64,201 shares, and Is assessed at The Equitable Company has a debt ot $1,000,000, i5 rc.ilcs of mains, shares, as-essed at $541,420. The total bonded and stock debt ia about of which the bonds amount to $5,6 J.00). The gas companies are taxed on $4,055,902, and subtracing abated by the p.

ant exemption law.the tax department finds that the city can collect on ouly $3,455,902. Another great disparity noted is the difference between the rates of stocks and the assessments per share on the State tax books. The Equitable Company on last year's books are assessed at $4 72 per share, while they now sell at $33. Tue Consolidated, selling at $75, are assessed at $3 B4. Canton Com puny worth $00, are a-sessed at $4 64, and City Passenger Railway stock is assessed at $11.

A prominent city official said yesterday that, considering the eminent respectability of the people holding ceriain stocks, they will not be willing to participate in the nonpayment of what is justly due tbe community for taxes, when these facts are known." CARS IN DRUID HILL The text or the Druid Hill Park car ordinance now in force is as follows: "An ordinance to provide for increased facilities of access by the public to Druid Hill Park: Whereas, in the public enjoyment of Druid Hill Park, the pleasure and convenience of the public will be largely increased by affording facilities of railro ad transportation to the central portion ot the said park. Section 1. Be it enacted and ordained by the Mayor snd City Council of Baltimore, That the C.tizens' Passenger Railroad be, aud it is hereby, authorized to lay a single track within the said park, with such si lings as may be necessary for the proper use thereof, beginning at that portion of the grounds of said park known as the Chinese Station, and following the line of the road-bed already graded, and used formerly as a passenger railway line, near the western boundary of said park, and on and with the said line of road-bed up to the building erected for the purpose, and formerly used as a railroad station, sail building being known as Council Grove Station. Section 2. Be it enacted.

That the said Citizens' Passenger Railroad Company is authorized to run cars on the line of the road provided for in tbe first section of this ordinance, said cars to be drawn by borse power, and to besut ject to such rules and regulations a3 may be prescribed by the public park commission."

Mayor Hodges yesterday signed the ordinance providing for the repair of the buildings of the House of Refuge, by which the balance unexpended out of the $20,000 annually appropriated may be used for the repairs to the junior department, THE MASONIC CENTENNIAL. Arrangements in Detail Reception Committee Hands and Drum Corps, Reported for the Baltimore Sun.l As the Masonic centennial celebration, the Pimiico races and the democratic State central committee meeting are to take place next week, the number of strangers in the city will be very great. The visitors from the Maryland counties will be unusually numerous. The public event of the Masonic centennial will be on Thursday, the 12th.

Visitors will be able to see the parade and go to the races also, as the parade will start about eleven o'clock in the morning. It will form on Cathedral, and go over this route: To Madison, to Holli-day. to Baltimore, to Eutaw, to Eutaw Place, to Wilson, to west side of Eutaw Place, to Mosher.to Madison avenue.to Madison street, to Howard, to the Academy of Music. The most advantageous positions for strangers to see the parade are up to wd, away from the rush and crush of tbe crowds in the centre of the city. Eutaw Place and Madison avenue and the cross streets in that vicinity can be reached with a little additional walking by the Madison avenue line of cars, the Linden avenue line, the John street line, the Druid Hill avenue line and the Pennsylvania avenue line.

If it is desired to see the parade and the races too a down-town position had better be taken. a3 the parade passes that part of the citv first. If carriages are Dot used, the most convenient ways of reaching Pimiico after the parade are by the Western Maryland Railroad and the PikesviUe horse car line. The Pennsylvania avenue or Greene line of street cars and the Fayette street or Citizens' line connect with the Pikesville ers. But if you can afford it a drive to Pimiico through Druid Hill Park wlil more than repay the outlay.

Thomas J. Shryock, grand master of the Maryland Grand Lodge, makes the following announcements with regard to the Masonic centennial: On May 12 lodges will parade as such, and each lodge will be in cbartj of its own marshal, who will report ro Chief Marshal Haaway. Masonic dress will be enforced, consisting of silk hat, white gloves, black suit, with the coat buttoned and apron worn on the outside. No canes or umbrellas will be allowed. Jewels, badges or flowers will not be permitted in the procession with the exception of the centennial medal, past master jewels, or such blue lodge jewels as have been presented for meritorious service.

As tho Academy of Music will not accommodate the entire procession, only the masters, wardens and past masters of the Maryland and visiting lodges will be required to be present at the ceremonies following the parade. These will go with the grand officers and their immediate guests into the body of the building and remain for luncheon with the Grand Lodge division. The rest of the procession will march to tbe division headquarters for luncheon and entertainment. The galleries of the Academy will be reserved for the wives, daughters and lady friends of the fraternity. Tickets of admission may be obtained from Wm.

it. Clark, 90 Dugan's wharf, who is the chairman of tho committee on amusements. Instead of continuing the entertainments at the division headquarters at night, it has been determined to concentrate at the Academy of Music in the evening with a concert and hop.

Reported for the Baltimore Sun.l The Young Men's Prohibition Club of East Baltimore held a meeting preparatory to organizing for the fail campaign. Mr. Henry B. Sapp presided, and said he supposed the prohibition party would have to reform aa well as the other parties. Even the factions and clubs are reforming, and tbe Criminal Court also is trying its band.

The speaker hoped if any reporters were present they would give correct reports of the meeting, ks both he and Brother Bruscup had been misrepresented at the last Sunday meeting at t. Pisgah. Reporter were always welcome, he said, because prohibitionists have nothing to bo ashamed of. Mr. John Lloyd Thomas, of Cumberland, State organizer, said.

"Our reform has nothing to lose by discussion. It has been retarded by pres reports of our meetings and the expressions of some of our speakers. It is good that God does not visit His wrath on liars now as ho did in the days of Ananias, for if He did there would be Oiirted to the cemetery tomorrow such a load of journalists that it is doubtful tf the morning paTpers could be issued." The speaker opposed nigh license, which, he said, was the magic wand the timid stretched over hell-ridden America to cure it of the evil of rum. Christian people will not consent to a high license or a low license, but will cemand the utter abolishment of tho evil. Soon the votes of the prohibition party will swell from the 300,000 it is accredited with to six millions, the half of the voters in the United States.

The prohibition party means a radical prohibition against liquor. The Northern aud estern saloon-keepers bold a threatening band over the democratio temperance South, for the party only nominates men who can carry doubtful States, knowing that the South is solid. The democratio party South is for temperance, and has more territory under prohibition than in all the republican North. This government is no longer a government for tbe people and by the people, but of tbe dramshop and by the dramshop. TIIE TRIAL OF THE JUDGES.

Tbe Jury Out, witli tittle Prospect of Agreement The Arguments. Reported for the Baltimore Sun.l The case of Michael McCluskey, Albert T. Server and James Dempsey, judges of election of the second precinct of the eighth ward, on trial for violation of the election laws at the municipal election, October 27, 1886, was given to the jury at two o'clock yesterday afternoon. No agreement had been reached at seven o'clock last evening, when the court adjourned until today and the jury were locked up. It was rumored they stood to jik, remarks.

Mr. C. Dodd McFarland argued that the office of judge of election is a judicial office, and the judges cannot be held lor mistakes of judgment. The Stale has said there can be no conviction of Mr. Server.

The three men performed the same act, their minds united, and they are jointly indicted. If one is not guilty. Done are guilty. For years the city has been proud of irs police force. Every one of the officers stationed at the polls testified that the election was fair.

The judges discharged their duties iu the very face of their enemies, who were threatening all day to put the stripes on them. It was impossible for them to have committed a fraud, even if they had so desired. Mr. Server was the only one of these judges who bad served before. They say there was fraud in his selection.

Was there any fraud in tho selection of his clerk? He selected the clerk himseif. He took young Mr. Chas. W. Hammel, the brightest young man he could find in the precinct, who koew what he was about until he had visited the back room too often, which accounts for his seeing two tickets when Geo.

W. Shields voted. After every election there are cnarges of fraud. You have heard one of the cases, and the whole case is reduced to three votes. Mr.

Gans has unfairly brought into the case references to political questions. We have brought here all the testimotiy we can as to the action of these judges, but what witness can we call to answer public clamor? The argument as to Mr. McCiuskey leaving the room in order to allow a man to vote on his brother-in-law's name is only an inference. I defy any of you gentlemen to go over into the eighth ward and hold an election, with all the objecting and confusion, and keep your accounts straight. This is not a case like the first ward case, where there were forty ballots in the box in excess of the record, showing that there was ballot-box stuffing.

These judges may have erred, as you may err, but before you find them guilty you must find that they acted willfully and corruptly. Mr. McFarland closed at 11.30 o'clock, having spoken an hour. MR. talbott's speech.

Mr. J. Fred. (J. Talbott said: "1 agree with Mr.

Gans tnat we should have fair elections, but when juries convict people on public clamor and not on the evidence, we have reached something worse. Mr. Hammel is contradicted by every other witness wbo was in the room. Dempsey has been here before, it Is true, but it was for a difficulty with the police when he went to the assistance of a friend who was being beaten. McCluskey has been here, too, and made to pay $24 for spite, just as in this case.

Mr. Gans says these men hold places under the city, and were not qualified. What of that? It they were not qualified they were not judges, and they cannot bo convicted. According to Mr. Gans, the judges and the police entered into a conspiracy to cast these three fraudulent votes.

There was ample time to have established the identity and insisted on his vote being taken. I don't believe Harris knew what he said or what he did. Tbe indictment charges that Geo. W. Shields voted twice, but tbe State's evidence is that he voted two tickets.

It that is so, why didn't the grand jury indict him? It is because they did not think the evidence sufficient. The people who are prosecuting this case knew the election was fair up to the close of the polls, and for that reason they asked McCluskey to take off his coat and roll up his sleeves. He did it. Now, gentlemen, try this case according to the law and the evidence, as the court and the State's attorney hare told you, and not according to the clamor of a few people. Then you can face the world, conscious that you have done your honest duty." MR.

KERR'S SUMMING UP. Mr. Charles G. Kerr, State's attorney, began his closing argument shortly befoie one o'clock. He said: "I would consider the office which I have been permitted to hold for nearly eight years disgraced if I should appeal to you to try a case otherwise than on the evidence.

Under the old law quoted by Mr. McFarland the duty of deciding the qualifications of voters was vested in the judges ot election. As the law now stands mat duty devolves upon the registration officers. If a man's name is on the list the judges have no right to refuse it. All the judges have to do is to determine if the man offering to vote is the man he represents himself to be.

I am as much a partisan as any man in tbe sound of my voice. I would do as much for my party as any man in Maryland, but when it comes to a question, as a public winking at anything unfair, I stop right there. I don't care about the boys in the eighth ward couspiring.if you please, to vote all together at any hour of the day and so get ahead of their less wary or cautious opponents, because that is not illegal, but when judges of election conspire or refuse legal votes it is a serious question. You are to determine whether such performances shall cease or continue. In the years 1857 and 1861 a solid phalanx of voters in the eighth ward, respectable, honest and brave men, stood up against all manner of wroDg doing.

There are still such men in that ward. Mr. Server, the republican judge, is, with great respect, nothing but a poor, weak, blind and illiterate old fool, as his appearance oa the stand must have convinced the jury. He sat at the election simply as a figurehead, knowing nothing of what was going on at the polls. The defense has not successfully refuted any fact as to tbe refusal of the vote of Harris, the old colored man.

He was the only Harris on tne book. Why did they not ask him if he knew anybody at the polls? If they ha.1 he would have said, 'Yes, I know you, Mr. I will relate an incident of the Burgess trial. You will remember that Sheriff Fledderman was charged with furnishing liquor to the judges of election. The Hagerstown Mail accused Mr.

Gaus and myself of professional ignorance because we stated there was no law against that practice. The fact is we have no law against it in the city, the law to which the Mail referred being a local law which does not apply to the city. When the name of Mr. Ale-Cluskey's brother-in-law was called the other judges should bave called Mr. McCluskey to identify him." Mr.

Kerr reviewed the evidence and asked the jury to consider the case entirely upon the evidence. given to the jury. Judge Duffy instructed the jury as to the form of their verdict, and they retired at 2 o'clock. At 3 o'clock the ury sent i communication to Judge Duffy saying that they could not agree, and asking to be discharged. The note stated that they were hopelessly divided.

Judge Duffy directed that a blant form be sent to the jury 60 that they could seal their verdict in case they agreed before morning' and go to their homes. M' Gans suggested that, owing to the different counts in the indictments, the jury might make an error in the form of the verdict if given the blank form. As they would separate before delivering the verdict to the court, the whole proceeding would oe vitiated in case of informality. Judge Duffy adopted the suggestion and ordere i a recess until seven o'clock. At that hour the jury sent word that no verdict had been reached, and the court adjourned until this morning.

Tne jury was locked up in the grand jury room. The names of tho jurors are: David P. Ebaugh, John A. Hersh-field, Charles It. Buckley, John H.

Hirchens, George Rohrbaoh, John H. Adams, William T. Ruckle, Frederick Charles Block, Albert H. Rogers, Richard A. Metz, William W.

Elliott and Howard Ridgely. THE PENALTY. The penalty for receiving an illegal vote is Imprisonment iu jail not less than six mouths and a fine of $1,000: for refusing a legal vote $1,000 line. The maximum imprisonment is not fixed, but according to the practice would be not more than two years. The courts seldom add together and impose sentence for ail the offenses charged in different counts of the same indictment, but usually impose the highest penalty for one of the offenses.

I Reported for the Baltimore Sun.l The Colored League season opened yesterday with games at Baltimore between the Lord Baltimores and the Pythian Club of Philadelphia, at Pittsburg between the Pittsburg team and the New York, and Louisville at borne with the Boston. Club. The Lord Baltimore team won by 15 to 12. The players of the two clubs were: Lord Baltimore Gray, Stewart, Raymond, Dorsey, Thomas, Proctor, s. Wilson, 1.

Cummings, c. and Harris, r. f. Pythian Scudder, Vactor, Bowers, Emorv, Wood, Jackson, 1. Payne, c.

Hall. r. t. Cummings captained the Baltimore players and Emory captained the Philadelphians. The game was very exciting and was thoroughly enjoyed by the 400 white and colored people present.

The coaching was lively. While the fielding was loose at odd times, at others it was perfect. In the sixth inning six Pythian batters faced the pitcher. The first iwo made hits, but the next one forced one of the runners out at third. The fourth batter forced another man out at second, and the fifth man got his base by being hit by the ball.

With the bases rull the sixth man went out without a run being scored. Dorsey, at second base, did some very pretty fielding for the Lord Baltimore. The visitors outbatted the local team, but made their errors most inopportunely, while tho Lords batted in great luck. The greatest piece of batting was that of Bowers, Jrirst baseman for the Pythians. He went to tho bat six times and made a hit each time.

Wood made four hits out of six chances. For the Lords every man but Stewart and Raymond hit safely, Thomas having two singles and a two-base hit. Proctor a single and a home run, Harris, Gray and Cummings two singles apiece, and Wilson and Dorsey a single apiece. There would have been more hitting by the local team, but they hit at wide balls and balls along the ground, instead of waiting for them to come over the plate. The same clubs play today.

The rain prevented the game in St. Louis yesterday, and as Baltimore won, the team goes to first place. Record: Won. Lost. Won, Lost.

6 6 13 Baltimore ....10 3 St. Louis 9 3 Brooklyn 8 4 Lou'sville 8 5 Cincinnati ....8 Athletic 6 Cleveland 1 Metro 12 Tbe reports of the Athletic-Baltimore games in Philadelphia say there was considerable fault-finding at Capt. Burns's system of coaching. Possibly tho same people object to the Baltimore's system of bitting the ball and winning games. Burns's system ot coacning Is legitimate, with perhaps a trifling break now and then.

If other cities are not fortunate in having men liko Burns, they had better get thorn, instead of howling at superiority. It ia pretty safe to say that St. Louis will pronounce it all right, for St. Louis has one of the same kind. Michael Gaul, a left-handed pitcher, of this city, leaves tonight for Savannah, to sign with the Southern League club of that city.

He is a young man, and promises to make a pitcher. Shreve recommended him. Philadelphia has a National League team.an Americau Association team and a Colored League team. Albplayed yesterday, aud not one of them won a game. Independence Hall should be draped In mourning.

Tho Madison Base-Hall Club has been reorganized, with the following players: Bob Dunn, first base; Geoige Nolan, second base; Daniel Gillen, short stop; liiohard Brown, third base; James Patterson, pitcher; Thos. McLaugbian, catcher; John Dunn, left field; AVm. Ward, centre field; Stewart Harrigan, right field. The manager is George J. Nolan, 1114 Greenmount avenue.

The first regular base-ball game of tho season in Frederick was played yesterday on tue.
