Proceedings im the Police Court To-day. STATEMENTS OF COUNSEL— MRS. RICKER'S ARGUMENT ON THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THE LAW—THE PRESIDENT'S RIGHT To GET SHAVED ON SUNDAY. This morning, In the Police Court, Mr. Cork- hill, counsel for the hotel barbers, called to the attention of Judge Snell the charges of violat- ing the Sunday iaw against Carter Stewart, Wayne Curry and others, involving the ques- tion as to the validity of the law under which the prosecutions are brought. He said he was not ready to argue his cases to-day and would therefore ask for acontinuance. He said that his clients leases and everything depended upon the settlement of this question. His clients, he said, were all Christian gentlemen and were not violators of the law, as they would close their shops to-morrow if this court de- cided against them. All they ask, he said, was fora decision. “I might say,” continued coun- sel, “that | went to see the Commissioners” — “They have nothing todo with this question,” said the judge. “It is undoubtediy an impro- priety for an ‘executive to interfere with the Administration of justice.” Counsel then reterrred to the decision of Judge Wylie holding the law to be unconstitu- Uonal and the decision of Judge Hagner to the contrary. Mrs. Marilla Ricker who appeared for Ru- dolph Sauer, followed Mr. Corkhill. She read the law under which these prosecutions are brought, and said if the corporation of the city of Washington, acting by its mayor, board of alderman and common council, bad authority to pass this act, then unquestionably the de- ndants have "violated the law. She denied t the said corporation was ever granted leg- islative power to such an extent as to pass such an act, An examination of the several acts, by virtue of which the corporation of Washington came into existence, does not dis- close any general grant of power authorizing thein at their option to suspend or prohibit the transaction of any business not in violation of Jaw; no such power could be tolerated by the’ citizens of any community, and were such a grant made by ess, the courts would hasten to declare the same to be unconstitutional and void. ‘The only authority in any manner approaching to such a delega- tion of power is to be found in the actot Con- gress passed May 17th, 1548, which gives to the municipalty power to legislate for the preserva Hon of order within the city limits. (Reported in Webb's Digest.) Counsel referred to the decision of Judge Wylie holding the law to be unconstitutional. Itisaprineipie of law well known to the court, and sustained by the highest judicial authority, that all grants of power by a parent legiskiture toa munlei, government ure to be construed strictly, ure never to be held to embrace general grants of power not clearly within the words of the grant, Mr. Miller, who appeared in one caso, sald that he was inclined to think he would apply for a writ of certiorari, which he would do to- day if the court would give him time. Mr. Corkhill said that one of his clients, John West, was shaving the President when he was arrested. Mr. Padgett said he would deny thestate- ment relating to the President, as he had a let- ter in his pocket giving him the information Uhat the Presideut suaves himself. ‘The Judge sald that any sensational state- ment involving the President's being shaved on Sunday is absurd. He has a right to get shaved on Sunday at his home by a barber,and if the barber fs arrested for such an act itis an outrageous interierence with private rights. ‘The judge complimented Mrs. Ricker, and said she had presented the coustitational ques- Uon ina very clear and able manner, but that it was not competent for this court to set aside | an ordinance of the District as unconstitu- tional,and if It was desired to present this ques tion to the Court in General Term, as he should be compelled to sustain the law certiorari could be resorted to, and he would give until Saturday for them to determine what they would do. In the cases against the hotel barbers, Mr. Corkhill was granted a continuance until next Wednesday. The other cases were con- Unued until Saturday in order to give counsel time to have them certioraried to the General Term. pan es Real Estate Sales. Joseph L. Greene has sold to Albert S.

The Man Who Teaches the Trick Dogs —How Three Dogs Esenped Death. Those who attended the performances of Thatcher, Primrose and West's minstrels last week were struck with the remarkable acting of the troupe of dogs and a gpat attached to this show. To @ Stak reporter, who called upon Prof. Burton to ascertain the manner of train- ing and caring for his animals, that gentleman said: ‘Ihave been in the business twenty years, and at the present time own and exhibit twen- two dogs and little goat Jennie. Two years ago last June I lost in New York city a very valua- ble troupe of dogs that were potsoned by some person, evidently in the same show, who threw poisoned liver over the fence into the yard in which the dogs played. In ten minutes from the time I released them from their cages they were all dead, lying in different parts of the yard. It was a heavy blow to me,” went on the professor, “but in six months time I had started again with another troupe of dogs, and to-day I have the largest and best dog ‘circus in the country.” “Does "It not require a great deal of patience and judgment in training them?” asked the re- ter. Yes, it does,” said the professor; “for instance, It took me four montis to teach my big clown dog to walk on his fore feet, and it is more difficult to teach a dog to waltz, Itis very easy to teach them clown tricks, and a great many feats originate while playing, such as leaping and jumping. “Do they show a disposition to act readily and willingly” asked the reporter. “Yes, they do, and they know the time to @ minute when they are wanted on the stage, and wait anxiously for that moment. You must treat them with kindness” continued the professor. | “I treat my dogs well and feed them wice a day with a great deal of regularity. hey Know no other muster but me, and love me in their own way.” ‘The trainer of dogs related how three ot his small iemale dogs were in one cage tonal theater, and, in moving the cage, it wa placed against the wall; directly veuind the cage Wasa water tap. Some one accidentally turned the tap on, and the hot water rushed in Where the litle dogs were. At this tine Prof. Burton was at the novel, and when he arrived wt tue theater the three dogs were waiting tor him on the outside. ~§ Upon examination i found that they had escaped trou death by scalding by eating a hole through an inch and- achalt board. ‘The little oat, Jennie, the provessor said, is very intelligent aud apt, and agrees very n: With the dugs, ‘The training of a dog should begin when the walmul is about ten montis old.

Adispateh to the Philadelphia Times from. New York, April 14, says: The criminal career ©f the notorious Paul Schoeppe is brought to mind by the sudden ending of the libel suit of a | man who styled himself John G. P. Smith against, Editor Qttendorfer, of the New York Suats-Zeilung. The newspaper denounced the man as guilty of almost every erime in the statute books. When the casé came before Judge Gorman it didu’t take the plainut’s counsel jong to find out the character of his jan, and he withdrew from the case and the suit Came to an abrupt end. Smith is in re: the notorious Schoeppe, with wh exploits the newspapers were ringing & dozen years ago and more. 113 said he began his vilidinous cureer in Germany, and bears upon his back a brand placed there by order of the court. In 1869 he came to this country and started to practice medicine at Carlisle, Pa, He was accused and convicted of poisouhg an old lady patient named Miss Steinecke, who bad died on his hauds, and Whose heir and husband he claimed to be, pro= ducing a forged will. ‘The case created ah im- mense iurore, and through the interposition of many citizens a second trial was secured, the legislature passing a special act to cover the case. At this second trial the Jury dis- agreed, and Schoeppe escaped the gallows.
