Steve Austin, colored, was before Jus tice McGowan yesterday, charged with stealing a basket of provisions last Sun day off a flat belonging to James Monroe, colored, anchored in tbe river at the foot of Orange street. After besring the evidence in the case Justice McGowan held that there was probable cause and placed tbe defendant under a $100 bond for his appearance at tbe present term of the .Criminal Court, and in default of which he was committed to jail. There are two other cases of a like nature pending against Austin, who claims Durham aa his home.

In Justice Bornemann's court Will Hansley and Walter Paigns. both col ored, were tried in two separate cases of sssault and battery and were adjudged guilty, but judgment in both cases was saspended upon payment of costs.

Baltimore Wins the Temple Cop Closing Game of the Seriea Played at Baltlmoie, and Won by the Orioles.' Once more the much sought for trophy, the "Temple Cup," will remaia in Baltimore, and if the Orioles can only obtain possession of it next season, which will make the third consecutive time, it will then be their own property. Yesterday's game at Baltimore, which ended so disastrously for the Beaneaters, pat aa end to the agony: and this news brings joy to many, not alone because the winner has been decided on, but be cause tbe uninteresting and tiresome games, attended by a handful of non enthusiastice, wjrich have been played during tbe past week is at an end, and so all royal lovers of base ball now blend their tears of happiness together. Under the rules the victors are entitled to sixty-five per cent, of the gate receipts of each of the five Temple Cup games played, but it is believed that the victors and van quished agreed beforehand to have an eqaal division of the spoils. The crowd in attendance at yesterday's game was under the- 1,000 mark, and it is esti mated that the rooters, etc., only num bered 750; but there is no getting at the exact figures, ss the management abso lutely refused to give the number of people in attendance. Both the Balti more and Boston teams disbanded yes terday, and most of the players are now on their way home. Jennings and Kel ley have gone to Philadelphia.
