The house was raided last night | by Acting Sergeant Markwood and several officers of the first precinct, who took Into cus- tody Martha, four girls (three white) and thre> young men. Officer Williams testified that, With Officer Barnes, he spotted the house, and She called him in and solicited him to stop with her, and sending to the station the house was raided. an Perry testified to having lived In the house and received company; that there Was a sign on the house, “Washing’ and Ironing and Dressmaking,” but’ she (Martha) put the Washing out. Carrle Peterson testified to going there with men. Susie Worthington, a white girl, apparently not over 12 years of ‘age, testi- fed that she was at the house last night with a girl who went after her dress; that they got Some beer and went up stairs to drink it with two young men. Mollie Sievers testified that she had been to the house with men. The court imposed a fine of $25 or 3) days In the corpora- tion case, and $1 or 60 days In the United States (bawdy house) case. An appeal was noted and bonds fixed at $200. The office.3 Participating in the raid, besides Acting Ser- [oe larkwood and Officers Williams and nes, were Messrs. Burns, Kenner and Barry. Mr. ir H. Wells appeared for the accused, and Mr. Hayden for the government. PIE IN THE Pouice CovrT.—This morning, in the Police Court. Mrs. Lizzie Burke, a stout colored woman, was arraigned on the charge of threats to Mary Pie. The latter testified that she went to church Sunday night and Mrs. Burke threatened to break her neck and mash every bone in her body—in fact, to make mince ie of her. Mrs. Burke took the stand and ‘estified that the Pie woman had been harbor- her husband for two years, and she spoke to her about it, when she called hera bad name, and then she warned her that she would have to stop going with her husband. Judge Snell Said that there was but little redress to be had in punishing the husband, for the heaviest fine is only $20 under an oid Maryland law. Con- gress makes laws, but it seems they do not take much interest tn the punishment of adultery. He advised her not to attempt to take the law in her own hands, but to prefera charge against them, snd if proved he would impose the tine. ~ REAL ESTATE Sate: essrs.

THE BoGts GRaysoy.—King George County. Editor Star:—In giving an account ot that meet- ing of the Jackson Democratic Association which “was addressed by a colored man,” a very Worthy citizen of this county has been placed in a false and mortifying position. The real name of that organizer of “democratic clud3 in the country” is one Johnson, @ first-class fraud, who has graced the whipping post this county three or four times itis sald, CRUSHED TO DEATH BY A GRAVEL TRAIN. About 7:30 o'clock this morning a brakesman Bsmed John W. Brown, on the gravel train running from the sewer excavation in the north- east section of the city to the dumping-ground, at the intersection of New York avenue and Boundary streets, while Ing out the first train loaded with dit, in going down the steep grade at Patterson’s hill, missed his footing while turning down the brakes, and was pre- cipitated to thertrack, the whole {rain passing over him and killing him almost instantly, The train was stopped as soon as the engine coula be reversed, but not until the whole length of it—nine loaded cars—had passed over him. He Was drawn out from underneath the engine, which was used topish the train ahead, and and expired after a gasp or two, his body and head fearfully lacerated. The police ambulance was sent for, and the dead body carried to his Taother’s house, No. 220 C street northeast,where an Inquest was held by deputy Coroner Harti- guu, ar. V. T. Austin acting as foreman of the juny. — ‘THE TESTIMONY. Mr. Robert H. Lamb, the engineer of the gravel train, testified that he heard some one call out and saw one of the brakesmen throw up bis hands, when he immediately reversed his steam and stopped the train. Deceased was not Lit by the wheels of the cars, but appeared to have been between the tracks and shied and mangled by the rods of the brakes, which were Within or Inches of the ground, The fireman on the engine corroborated the eag!- neer’s statement. Mr. Fred. W. Brown, brother of the deceased, also a brakesman on the same train, gave testimony. Also a small boy named Michael Burke, who was on the side of the ir2in where the accident occurred, and who saw de- cersed in the act of turning down the brake, when his toot slipped rnd he fell forward, and en bar of the brake dragged him under the train. THE VERDICT. ‘The jury returned a verdict was that death was caused by being accidentally run over by a contractor's dirt train, and they recommend to the company owning ‘the track that there be more standing room around the car brake to avert a like occurrence, Deceased was 55 years old, and leaves a wife and four small children. He was well-known as a respectable and industrious citizen. He be- longed to the Knights of Pythias and Rechabites anda member of the Endowment Association. Wnat Drink BRINGs A MAN T0.—Augustin J. Ambler, a well-dressed middle-aged white man, apparently intoxicated, appeared at the Police Court this morning and commenced to abuse one of the messengers, for which he was promptly arrested and placed in the cell. He was atter- wards brought out for trial and charged with profanity. And on belng fined $5 or 20 days he ecame very abusive, cursed the judge. A sentence of 320 or 30 days in jall, and two days additional without a fine was imposed for con- tempt of court. He was again placed In the cell and afterwards sent to jail. Amber 1s well known in connection with his sult with Whip- ple, in which an award of several hundred thou- sand dollars was recently made, and for some time past has been regarded as of unsound mind, caused by drinking.
