Yesterday afternoon shortly after 1 o'clock @man rushed intothe eighth precinct station and informed Sergeant MeCathran that a wo- man had threatened to shoot him and asked the officer to go to De Moll’s drug store. The . M. M. Holland. officer at once complied with the request, and joing to the store on 7th street southeast found quite a neatly-dressed young lady Somewhat excited. and she stated that she had threatened to shoot the man, who was her busband—v. H. Coumbe—if he'did not ac- knowledge the marriage between them. She ave up the pistol, a small seven-barreled mith & Wesson, all the chambers of which Were loaded, and as Coumbe said he was afraid of his life she was requested to accom. aby the officer to the station, and she did so. ere she gave the name of Mrs. Emma G. Coumbe, which the complainant denied was her name, stating that it was Larmon. Word Was sent fo her father and brother and bail Was soon furnished. THIS MORNING AT THE POLICE COURT the charge of carrying concealed weapons was referred by Coumbe inst her, he giving er bame as Larman. Mr. Padgett represent. ed the District, and Mr. A. B. Williams the ae. €ased, who wa: om panied by her father. Sergeant MeCatheran testified that he was Sent for tu go to the drug store, corner Sth and E streets southeast. When he arrived there he found the dete nt in the store, and asked | her where the She produced the pistol and s: in the drug store, oue CoumLe, denied that he was her lawful dusband she would shoot him, S$ STATEMENT. Osear H.C: testified that the girleame in the store ay and said if he did not acknow the marriage she would shoot bim. De Moil objes tu apy conversation on the subject, and he said to her to wait uatil he kot his hat, when be went out of the side door and to the station house. On cross-exami tion he said that there had been a mock mar. riage between defendant and himself; that he had procured a marriage license in Alexan- dria, viving his age at 19 and hers at 20, and the clerk filled it up with 2] for both, og which they were married in Georgetown. He thought that the marriage was a legal one until te con. ferred with his parents. and was advised that it Was Ulegal. AS he was under tthe time he Was determined to disavow it, aud pub Jished 4 card to that effect. THE MAKKIAGE CERTIFICATE was produced, sizued by Rey. J.T of Georgetown. on the Ist of April, and tie ames of Mrs. M. A. Murray and Miss Maione and Miss Amiss appear as Wituesses, anit wit- Murray, Dess said a similar one was given him, but the Witnesses Were not present atthe time. He ublished a card denying the marriage after er father had published one. Mr. Lyons, who was in the store at the time, testified to what transpired there. . The decision was suspended until the U. S. fase was presented. THE CASE 01 ‘Was taken up at I/', o’¢ euting, and Sergeant McCathran testified as above. For the defence Rev. J. T. Murray. of the Congress-street M. P. Church, was called, and testified that in April last he solemnized the marriage of the parties, and identified ihe certificate. Witness married them under the Alexandria license, and made a return. THE COURT TELLS COUMBE’S WHAT HE THINKS REATS Mr. Coyle prose OF HIM. The Court said this was -one of the hardest @ases which had ever come under his notice. This party goes to Alexandria ana procures a hieense to marry this girl in Georgetown, and afterwards he says his parents had heard it, and it was not legal. It was no wonder the lady was outraged in her feelings, for he was Satisfied that this prosecuting wituess, by this Proceeding, did so to tamper with the purity of the lady. She had, however, no right tot the law into herown hands.’ Thejthreat was, however, something of a conditional one, and under the circumstances he would, to satisfy the law, as the ty says he is afraid ot her, recognizance, and in the Gther case (carrying e ed Weapons) sus pend judement—the pistol to go to the prop erty clerk. THE CASES DISMISSED. This was virtual 1 of the cases and the young lady walked out with her friends. The defendant in the case is Suite a fine Jooking young lady, a daughter of Mr. John Q@ A. rmon, the well-known machinist a n alderman under the old ‘uting witness Coumbe is a son of (a dentist on 9th street, near N northwest), and it is needless to say that as he Stood on the platform and testified to-day that there was a mock marriage, he had but few friends in the room, and the judgment of the Court was in perfect aceord with the feelings of all who heard the evidence. The following cards, bearing on this case, Sere published in the advertising columns of THE STAk on tne 13th of May last: ~ To the Public:—Mr. Wm. Larman came to my house yesterday (the Sabbath) to inform me if my son (Oscar) did not contradict a Statement he (Osear) published of his not be- ing married to Emma Larman, his life would pay the forfeit.

This morning a delegation of pollcarien from the several station-houses walted upon the District Commissioners to. preter against the reduction of their pay. The police were represenied by Sergeant Hollinberger, Lieut. Gessfoud, of the first precinct, Odicer Rhode: | of second precinct; Sergeant Trunnell, of | third ; Ofticer Volkman, fourth ; Officer O'Hare, | fifth: Officer Cooper, sixth; Officer Teeple. seventh, and Officer Woodward, of the eighth precinct; Detective McEifresh, of the detec. | tive corps; Major Morgan aud others. The citizens were represenivd by Col. Robert In- Cc. hards, Robert Christy, ex- mmissioner Bry . L. Barbour, E. E. hite, Richard Taylor, Marshal Dougiass, uumbus Alexander and others. A pe:ition by, ) of our ci'izens, among them nearly all the leading merchants and bankers, and representing #),00,000 worth of property, was brought with them to present to the Dis: iriet_ Commissioners. The petition requests that the salaries of the officers and members of the metropolitan police foree may remain as at present, the signers believing that the salaries now paid are the least that the ser- vices of good, honest and eficient men can be secured for, and that the pay they now receive is pot any more in proportion, to the living expenses than is paid in other cities; believ- ing, further, that the clause in the sundry civil bill authorizing the Commissioners to fix the salaries of the police was in direct opposition to the expressed wishes of a large majority of both houses of Congress, as the records of their proceedings show. When the delega‘ion arrived at the Columbia building Commis. sioner Phelps, who has the matter under his especial charge, had just left in his carriage to attend to some official business at the Treas- ury department. Commissioners Dent and Twining were present, and after consultation it eras ecided to postpone the meeting until 1 o'clock. The delegation reassembled at that hour. Ex-Commissioner Bryan led off the discussion, stating that abou oue year ago he had oeca- sion to call upon the police to take a burglar out of his house. That burglar is now in ‘the penitentiary, and he at that time promised the follee that if at apy time he could serve them he would cheerfully do so, This time, he thenght, had come.’ He read the memorial, and called the attention of the Commissioners to the array of names of prominent citizens and ee Pa ‘ers on the petition. He said that he during the last session of Congress he had never eard a member speak approvingly of the project to cut the pay down. The police of this city are in point of character and ability above the average police of other cities. He spoke of their arduous duties and what is expected of them at the capital of the na- tion, He did not think they were overpaid, in view of what is requiced of them in the way of uniforms and dies. Another thing was the police are all mi y men, all being dis- harged from that service. He thought @ re- duetion would reeull fn démoralization. The police of this city are chosen without any refereuce to their polities as in other cities, in view of what is reyuired of them here, 3 and they are not too much paid. Mr. Ingersoll followed in a vigorous argu- ment against reduction, and Mr. Bryan cited the fact that a reduction now would act as a greai hardship in many cases where the potice: men are paying for homes purehesed by them on the expeciation that their pay would be continued the same. Sergeant Holliuberger, in this connection, said that many of them were paying monthly installments on their houses, and any reduc- tion would act very injuriously. Mr. J. L. Barbour here remarked that he did not believe that it was the sentiment of any of the business men of this city to have a reduction made. Mr. R. H. Taylor and others concurred in this remark. Capt. Phelps stated that the case had been very ably put to the Commissioners, and they would give it very careful consideration befure acting upon the matter. The delegation then retired. A CUT OFF. A question having been recently raised oF a discharged District employe as to the liabil- ity of the District government for the payment of the salary for the full month in which the discharge was made, and there being some doubt in the mind of the attorney as to such colored man, formerly prominent in local poli- ties in South Washington; was for a time a clerk in Collector Cook’s office, and is now en- gaged in the wood and coal business on E street, south, Mr. M. Holland, same district, is a native of Obio, a graduate of Oberlin college, a lawyer by profession, and for several years past’ he has filled a clerkship in the office of the Com- missioner of Internal Revenue. He was on the last board. Mr. W.H. Smith, same district, is a well- known Washington colored man, a barber by de, but for several years past has been as. ant librarian ef the House of Representa. tives, and was for a long time one of the com missioners of metropolitan police. Alfred Pope, same district, is a well-known colored resident of Georgetown, and was a member of the old colored school board. He was formerly prominent in local politics, and is now engaged in the wood and coai busi ness. S —— The Schuetzenfest. CROWNING OF THE KING—KECEPTION MAYOR LATROBE.

The members of the Verein and guests were then entertained at | THE KING'S BANQUET. . The hall was decorated with colors of differ- ent nations, and the long tables were orna- mented with flowers. At the main table. across the eastern end of the hall, were seated Presi- dent Wolt, with distinguished guests, officers of the Verein, the new Schuetzen King, and the retiring King, and their ladies. The band Was located at the other end of the hall, and played at intervals. The Sengerbund also contributed several fine local selections. The first toast was: The King’s health ; not the one shot at, but our civic kiaz,whose eoerning ge has made him the hero of the day: and Mr. Ruppert responded. To the second—*The Washington Schuetzen Verein! Steady and unwavering in its allegiance to and for inter- national fraternization—a foe to intemper- ance, whether in word or deed”—President Wolf appropriately responded. Hon. Alonzo Bell happily responded to the third toast: “The United States of America; more than ever the refuge of the oppressed ; no labor can strike her down.’* To the toast—“ Our Ger- or i] 3 liability, the Coramissioners, in order to pre- ventany further question, have prepared a paper Which has been presented to ail the em- ployes for signatures, in which the employee agrees to relinquish any right they may have for recovering ip . COHEN'S COMPLAINT. A communication submitted by Isaac Cohen in person, to the District Commissioners, tnis morning, reads as follows: “A meeting w: held last night in front of the City Hall, which was one of the most orderly and quiet ever held in the city, and not obstructing an thing, for the convenience of the cit a the chief of police is no doubt prepare port. The Workingmen’s Relief Associ desires to hold another orderly and peaceab:e meeting there to-night, and the undersigned is instructed to ascertain from the honorable Commissioners whether a permit to occupy the portico of the City Hall for speakers is necessary, and ifso I'make hereby applic tion for such pole” He was informed by Capta Major Morgan had his instructions in the premises, The Working People. COHEN, THE MAN WHO WORKS WITH HIS CHIN. A gathering of the followers of Cohen, the street corner obstructor, took place last night in front of the City Hall, some 150 men and boys being present. Cohen commenced in his old strain, abusing the authorities and de. nouneing the police in particular because of his arrest. He was admonished by the police on duty there not to proceed, but gave no heed to the warning. On being informed of his course Major Morgan directed Lieut. Kelly to disperse the crowd, as it had been determined that all out-door meetings at the present time be interdicted, unless of a peaceable character and for the public good. Lieut. Kelly at once obeyed orders, and Cohen gathered up his cir. culars and coal oil lantern and vamosed, first in Phelps that giving notice that the meeting would go on to- night THE LABORERS ON THE NEW TREASURY PRINTING BUILDING AT WORK. This morning quite a large crowd of loung- ers, With a sprinkling of real laboring men, collected about the corner of lith and B streets southwest, where the excavation is being carried on for the foundation walls of the new building for the Bureau of Bheraving and Printing, but no disturbance took place. The main purpose of the men present ap- eared to be to obtain employment. The con- ractor is necessarily limited in the number employed, owing to the small space of the ex- cavation. About twenty men are all that can be proptably. employed on.this work at a time. Lieut. Gessford with a few of his officers were cn the ground, but did not remain long, as there was no occasion for their presence. ABOUT TWO HUNDRED WORKMEN DIS- CHARGED. About two hundred men, comprising brick- layers, plasterers, gas fitters and other me- chanics, and laborers, were discharged from the new War and Navy department building yesterday. ——__.

Rey dT Washington Grove Camp Meeting. {Special Correspondence of The Star.] Camp, NEAR GAITHERSBURG, Montgomery county, Md., July 3ist, 1878.—The meeting at this grove, which commences to-morrow, promises to be one of the largest that has ever been held on these Funds. There have already been erected 118 tents,.and it is ex- pected that the number wil! reach 159; this in- cludes some 15 tents erected by people from the county; and when it is considered that each tent will average five occupants you can form some idea of the total number camping on the ground. The rain of tue past few days has had the effect of laying the dust, much dreaded, from the experience of tenters last yeur, and. although the grounds are damp yet, there is no mu nd the sunof to-day had dried all the lei so that at five o'clock this evening the unds were in fine condition. bout six o'clock, however, we had a severe thunder shower,which lasted about two hours; the clouds, howeyer, have all passed away. leaving the stars shining brightly. IMPROVEMENTS. Among the improvements made since last camp isa fine two-story builaing, 28x55, erected by. ‘ash. B. Williams; the lower story is oceu pied as a wareroom, office, private diniug- room and barber shop; while the upper story is to be used for those desiring to spend the | night on the grounds. This is divided in apart- ment, one for ladies and the other for gentle- men, and is capable of accommodating sixiy persene, each with & good bed. The Kev. Wm. jurris, of Wesley Chanel, has erected a neat cottage, somewhat similar to Mr. Willett’s, making three permanent cottages. It is a wonder that people coming to cainp with their families every year cannot see the econumy in having a permanent residence of their own, especially when a neat cottage can be put up for about $100. Changes have been made in some of the booths on the grounds: the old one, at the entrance to the grounds, has been destroyed and a smaller one erected, to be used asan ice cream stand; then the one at the depot has been taken down and a new one erected off the association §rounds, on the other side of the railroad track. ALREADY IN CAMP. Every thing is now ready for tenters, who are to arrive to-morrow; several, however, have availed themselves of the benefit of pure country air, and have been living on the grounds for ten days or two weeks; among whom are Richard H.
