Most of the defendants and their counsel re- Matned in the neighborhood of the court hous> during the recess, The defendants gave evidence of considerable concern, though they expressed themselves as confident still of acquittal. The fact that the Jury had been allowed to take their notes to the jury room, they claimed, was in their favor. Several of the counsel expressed them- selves in Indicnant terms about the tone and sub- Stance of Judge Wylle's remarks to the jury this morning. One of them said that the judge had und case, aken to intimidate the jury all through the In the east wing of the court house, was a point to which the eyes of the loungers were frequently turned. Now and then a juryman appeared at the window, but of course no surinise as to the verdict could be based upon this, Many people remained in the court-room during the recess and canvassed the situation. Many conjectures were made, and some people fizured out to their own satisfaction Just how the jury ste FALSE ALARM. Five minutes later there was a stir in the little crowd that remained about the court house, caused by the announcement that the marshal jad sent after the Judge,as word had been recefved m the jury. The counsel for the gov- ernment and a troop of reporters at once returned to thetr seats. It proved that the alarm was false, how and was started by the fact that the judge had been sent for to swear in an extra bailiff for service with the jury. When the truth became known the crowd was scattered again. —— Tae War Deranrent is informed that the 12th infantry will leave Alberquerque on tie 12th inst. for Sackett’s Harbor, N.

A LE FROM BUILDING INSPECTOR ENTWISLE, Inspector Entwisle has latda letter before the District Commissioners setting forth “ thathaving been directed by you, February 10th last, to order changes in the theaters as recommended by the safety commission, a portion of which was to be done immediately; but a large portion of which it was considered would interfere with the occu- Pancy, Was ordered to be done during the summer vacation. The changes ordered to be done at once were partly executed in the National and Ford’s Opera House, and are complete as far as relates to the exits, But the work ordered and not yet done was the making of fire-proof walls and curtains separating the auditorium from the stage. Find- ing that no attention was being paid to this por- ton of the order, T again notified the proprietors on August 7th tiat the change must be made as required in the previous order before opening the houses. Tn reply to the last order I received let ters from Mr, Thomas J. Fisher, agent for the House, and I am in- Rapley, proprietor of the has written a similar letter to the honorable Commissioners, asking that they be re- Hteved from making the changes, They each claim that the order !s oppressive and will require large peniitures, Dut as T have no discretion in the matter under the order of the Commisstoners, I submit the matter for your consideration before taking steps to enforce it. The views expressed in Mr. Fisher's letter, that two flremen be admit- formed that Mr. of the hose, would afford more protection than the fire-proof Walis and curtains, are, in my opinion, correct, and was one of the recommendations of the safety commission. The firemen would, by thelr presence of mind and expertence, ve able to control ® fire before it could make progress. ‘This ae plan adopted by the authorities of the city nion since the Vienna fire, and 1s more tobe pended upon than the fi . AS was shown by the fire in the Vienna theater, It being constructed with fire-proof walls and cur- atthe employes became pante stricken and out closing the curtain opening. I have ulted the fire commissioners and Chief Engi- heer Cronin, and they think it would not inter- fere with the operations of the departinent to de- tail the firemen.” —— ee Seriously Wounded. About 10 o’vlock this morning a young man, Mr. G. B. Bernard, who keeps a beef stand in O-street market, was out gunning, and while crossing a fence his double-barrel shotgun was acct- dently discharged, the load passing through his hand, fnilicting a very severe wound. was taken to the drug store of J.

BROCK, MAJOR AND SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE, TO THE DISTRICT COM- MISSIONERS, STRONGLY SETS FORTH THE URGENT NEED FOR AN INCREASE OF THE FORCE. Hesays: I need not dwell upon the fact that of all cities in the Union the capital 1s the one which should have a police force large enough to meet all demands. The breadth of its streets and the great value of the governmental and private property to be guarded are sufficient facts in themselves to at- test this,but it must be remembered besides that the outskirts and suturbs of the city have been built up to a wonderful degree within the last few years, and the houses situated on the boundary need even greater careon account of their exposed condition, while thelr occupants sleep uncon- sctously during the long hours of the night. I must therefore recommend that the force be in- creased by the addition of one captatn (as night inspector), seven sergeants, and two hundred pri- yates or patrolmen; also two station keepers, to take the place of the two privates now detalled as station keepers at sub-station, Uniontown. STATION-HOUSES. “During the current year three statlon-houses ‘will be butit and ready for occupancy, viz: in the first, second and fi(th precincts. There will then remain but two station-houses, the sixth and sev- enth, and the sub-station in Uniontown, not owned by the District. I would earnestly recom- mend that station-houses be erected for the use of the sixth and seventh precincts at as early a day as possible, as the buildings now in use in sald precincts are not at all suitable for police purposes, and buildings erected with all the ne- cessary accommodations would greatly add to the efficleney of the members of the force stationed therein.” INFIRM AND DISABLED MEMBERS OF THE FORCE. He again, as in previous reports, respectfully and earnestly recommends that such action be taken as will replace falthtul worn-out members of the force with youthful, active, energetic men capable of performing all the duties of a patrol- man, and adds:—* Yet, n Justice and fatr-dealing, the old members should ‘not, in my opinion, be cast out from the force wherein they have setved so long and in wiffth they incurred thetr disabili- tes, without some provision being made for thelr old age. Nearly all, {f not all, of tiem have famt- Mes depending on them for support, and I cannot fora moment think that elther the general gov- ernment or the community would object to such a disposition as would retire these m®n with such a rovision as would tnake them comfortable for the few remaining years of their lives.” In connec- tion with this subject, he appends a table exhibit- Ing the year of appointment of the 193 privates at present constituting the patrolmen of the force. POLICE TRIALS. The superintendent 1s convinced that the discl- pline and morals of the force will compare favor- ably with that of any similar organization In the country. In order to keep it up to that standard and enforce the rules and regulations laid down for our guidance one hundred and nine police trials occurred during the past fiscal year. ST. ANN’S ASYLUM, “As In previous annual reports, it becomes my duty to acknowledge the many 6bilzations this department 1s under to the Sisters of St. Ann’s Asyium. During the year they received thirty- seven infants from this department, found seven on the door steps of their institution, and received others that would have been abandoned if not taken care of by them. ‘They also received twen- ty-flve half orphans, or children with only one parent living. “They have now 100 children whose ages range from two days to five years, and thir- two tutrusted to nurses. This is 2 heavy task on those Incharge of the institution, Al! tose little ones were received In such a spirit of kindness and readiness that more than youches for the good treatment such waifs of humanity will recetve Whilst in the institution. I would recommend that measures be tuken to relmburse the asylum for the timeycare and expense thus voluntarily given.” DARK ALLEYS. “During the past fiscal year only two Jamps were placed inalleys. Itis of the greatest conse- quence thatall the alleys should be lighted every night during the year. Thope this detect will be remedied as soon as possible, as the lighting of such alleys would be of great assistance to police surveillance, as well as in preventing them trom being used a8 places of revuge by criminals flying from justice, Light- ing satd alleys would also enable the patrolmen to give more of their time and attention to the more public thoroughfares, Ught in such places acting Ina great measure ‘asa preventative of crt Sd cHarrry. “During the past fiscal Year this office recetyea for relief of the worthy poor, which was ex- pended strictly for that purpose, with the ex- ception of $90.60; that amount, being on hand at the commencement of the current fiscal year,was turned into the United States Treasury as an un- | expended balance. ‘For the amount expended duplicate receipts weretaken, onetor the United | States Treasury, the other for the files of this of ci REFORMATORY FOR GTRIS. “Tcan hardly say more on this subject than what Thave sald in previous anmual reports; but I can- not allow the present opportunity to pass without respectfully calling the attention of the Commis- sloners to the great necessity existing In this city for an institution for the reformation of girls. We have a reform school for boys. It is working well nd gives satisfaction to the community, many its former Inmates having, through Its ltluences, changed their mode of tite become useful members of soctety. It 13, at least, of equal im- portance that young girls, h Ing, throuch means and temptations that we know not of, taken the first fal-e step in life, should not be allowed to sink more and more in the mire of sin and shame wita- out am attempt being made for their reclamation.” EMERG! HOSPITAL, “This Institution 13 of great benefit to the commu- nity and assistance to this department. Connected as it is with the Central Free Dispensary and lo- ted in about the center of the business portion Cases of wounding, either by accident » &e or otherwise, sudden tlne: tended to anf rellef given as soon as possible. 1 respectfully recotamend the interests of the hosp!- tal-to the favorable notice of , the Commissioners.” = FISH LAW. “T would respectfully request that the Commis- stoners urge on Congress the necessity of provid- ing this department with the means of enforcing the fish law by an appropriation sufficient to pur- steam launch and pay the necessary ex- penses Of running the same.” LAWS OF THIS DISTRICT. “The need of a code of laws applicable to the entire District, covering all offenses and afford ing an harmonious administration of justice, 1s very apparent. At present there are in force in this District certain laws of the late levy court, applicable to the county outside the cities of Washington and Georgetown; the laws enacted by the boards of aldermen and common councils of Washington and Georgetown; the acts of the legislative assembly, and the several laws passed by Congress, * *”* ‘To remedy this and to con- Solldate the really useful laws {na complete and Systematic form, as well as to Incorporate therein certain new ones in harmony with the present age, strenuous efforts have been made to have Congress pass what is known as ‘a Dill to estab. Ush a muntetpal code of the District of Columbia.’ The passage of satd ‘bill’ 1s of the greatest im- portance to this community, and I earnestly re- commend that the efforts made by the Commis- Stoners to that effect be not discontinued or re- faxed.” The report recommends that the pay of the two drivers be increased from $300 to $450 each per annum. THE ESTIMATES for the next fiscal year foot up $303,640, which in- cludes $5,000 to purchase and run a steam launch to enforce the fishing laws, is District Government Affairs, A DELEGATION OF PROPERTY OWNERS on the line of F street, between South Capitol and 4) streets southwest, headed by Mr. E.

The fire board (Messrs. Collins, Bacon and Tait) have submitted their annual report to the District Commissioners, accompanied by their estimate for the next fiscal year. The following extracts from the report are of pubilc interest: BUILDINGS. “The bufldings and rooms in the occupation of the department are the same as at the time of our last annual report, whilst the necessity for 1m- proved premises for No. 4 and No. 5 engine compa- mes fs pressing in on increased degree. The house of No. 4 company should be rebutit In a more suit- able locality. The house tn use by Company 5 has become so dilapidated as to require its front to be propped, while it 1s very unfavorably situsted for prompt response of the company to fire alarms in that district. year’s report relative to the imperative necessity. for the establishment of a new company in the northern section of the city, referring to the ac- companying estimate (inarked A) for the probable cost thereof. That section is being rapidly built up with costly houses, and every month the dan- ger of losses from fire 18 correspondingly increased, and this will continue until the location of a fire company reasonably near the endangered prop- erty insures prompt action upon the breaking out of a fire there, WATER SUPPLY. ‘The necessity for larger water mains than those now existing should not be lost sight of. Among the points where this want 1s more urgent may be mentioned the neighborhood of the government printing office, wherein are gathered at nearly all times of day and night so many people, and so large an amount of pubite property. The vicinity of the government printing office 1s also very densely populated, and the Dulidings present little obstacle to the march of fire if once started. These circumstances suggest the necessity for a water main of large dimensions, quite around the print- Ing oMice (as recommended by the chief engineer), with several plugs additional to those now tn use, and two new clstoms. The policy of providing new elsterns in the various unprovided parts of the city ought to be kept steadily in view. DISABLED FIREMEN AND PAID SURGEONS. Repeating our suggestions in previous reports as to the wisdom and justice of the policy of making some sultable provision for the rellet of members of the fire department disabled In the service; we also observe that occastons are not infrequent, when surgical or medical ald to employes of the department, injured in its service, become tmpera- tive.

THE OFFICERS AND MEN. “Nothing succeeds like success.” The effictency of the fire department of this District is generally | conceded, because the comparative statistics of fires and losses here and elsewhere, conclusives prove ft, It 1s not alone such safeguards to prop- erty here as gur excellent fire-alarm system, our wide streets (Which prevent the spread of fires, and our smooth pavements (which allow the rapld movement of men and apparatus to burning butldings) which have brought about this satisfactory result. We deem 1t but just to the officers and men of ‘the department to clalin that thelr prompt, active, zealous, and fearless work at fires has been the mam element of success in the prevention of such destructive couilagra- tions here, as has visited other cities. Cronin, always alert, cool-headed and intelligent, has worked indefatigably for years to bring about the discipline and system which has elevated the character of the force, and his extended ex- perience in fighting fire ‘greatly adds to his use- fulness. His asistant, Drew, 1s a capable and zealous officer. The foremen and members of the companies are with few exceptions active, Vigorous and clear-headed at fires, and there are coluparatively few violations ofthe rules and Tegulations of the departments by them.
