Semmes, of New Orleans, has arrived with a delegation of friends to press his appointment tothe bench. Do you know anything of it? Mr. Ellis. ‘es; itis true only in the fact that ‘Mr, Semmes fs 1n this city. He ts not here with a ee of friends; he 1s not here to see the ident; he is not here directly or remotely in reference to the Supreme bench vacancy. He 1s here to study and prepare the Gaines case now gu appeal to the Supreme Court, and assigned for hearing early in October. BO You seen Mr. Semmes since his ar- wat Mr. Ellis —Yes, he was in my office an hour this Morning. He strongly deprecates the impression created by the peepee that he ts here seeking the appointment, He has not seen the President, nor will by seek to see him either personally or through friends His views of a place on the Su- Preme bench isthe lofty and correct view. The Place should seek the mau, and not the man the Place. You may say positively that Mr. Semmes’ visit ‘here is purely private and professional, the reparation of a great case, and if you want to ind him goto the law library at the Capitol at any time between 9 and 4 o'clock. He is too great as a lawyer and too good as a man, and his life too Dusy to be lingering about Washington hunting an office, pas Defending the Accused Musicians, REMARKS OF ME. MOORE—THE CASE GOES OVER TILL ‘TO-MORKOW. ‘Yesterday afternoon, in the Police Court, in the case of the musicians, Ed. C. Linden, Louls P. Wild, Jno. N. Pistori, Jas. C. Callan, Jos. B. Cald- Well, Geo. N. Sloan, Jno. Fallon and Anton Fisher, charged with conspiracy, Mr. Moore,for the defend- ants, continued his argument after Tar Star's Teport closed. He referred to the witness Jultus Eisenbeiss, who was put upon the stand by the Prosecution, and said: “I have been boycotted once and that is enough.” “Whois this man Eisenbeiss?” continued Mr. Moore. “What 1s he? A beer saloon keeper, but {ts all right; he’s licensed. I am not a paragon nor amIa temperance advocate, but it would do the workingmen of this country no harm if every saloon Within {ts boarders was boycotted. This isnot contest between capital and labor, but between an outlaw, a wilful breaker of self-im- posed oathd and his honest hard-working fellow- man.” Mr, Moore closed by asking that the court Tender a verdict of not gulity, and at the request Of the district attorney the court adjourned until 1 o'clock to-day. A POSTPONEMENT. ‘Owing to the pending cases in the Police Court Deing on till a late hour, the counsel, at 1:15 o'clock, came in and arranged that the hearing be postponed till to-morrow at 120'clock, and this order was made. eS A CHURCH OnGaNizaTION Dis8axDa.—The con- ation of the North Baptist church (14th, near street northwest), at a recent meeting, décided to disband. ‘This church had been in existence some ten or twelve years, and owns a frame chapel at the point named, and has had as pastors Rev. Dr. E. H. Gray, Rev. Owen James, Rev. J. L. Lodge and Rev. N. J.Wheeler. It seems that of iate years the church has met with little success as to mem- bership, and it was thought that as long as the organization remained intact it might be in the Way of many of the faith uniting with it, and that Af dissolved the tleld would be left vacant for anew and more prosperous organization. ee His Excosr Dip Nor Avatt.—John Quander, a colored porter, employed in Dittrich’s hat store on 7th street, Was in the dock at the Police Court this morning, charged with steailng an umbrella from his employer's store.

LARNER SPEAKS OF THE DISSATISPACTION OF crTizeNs. Mr. Noble D. Larner then addressed the Com- missioners in a few Words. He stated that it isa Well-known fact that there exists considerable dissatisfaction among the citizens at the way the streets in the city are improved. He-said that the Committee had been sent as the representatives of the citizens on that subject, and therefore they have to submit a list of streéts which they think iis desirable to improve. Mr. Larner said that while he recognized the fact that. there has been considerable strife over this matter on all hands, the committee comes before the Commissioners to express their views in a dispassionate manner and with the hope that they may be able to work to- gether in peaceand harmony. Mr. Wheatley asked whether the committee wished their schedule to j"be submitted to Congress or to be considered as indicative of the desires of the citizens. AS A GUIDE 10 THE COMMISSIONERS. ‘Mr. Larner replied that their desire was simply tosubmit alist that would guide the Commis stoners in making their recommendations, He Said that he thought more money might be ob- tained for street improvements if it was asked for. ONE MILLION FOR STRERTS. Col. Ludlow inquired now much money would be Tequired to make such improvements as are in- dicated in the list the committee has prepared, and Mr. Larner replied that the estimated cost ‘Was in tne neighborhood of $1,000,000.

Ludlow asked on what theory the distribu- tion of the appropriation was made, and Mr, Weller replied quickly, “On the theory of needa.’ Mr. Larner confirmed Mr. Weller’s statement. Col. Ludiow then said that. the needs are very. much greater than can be satisfied at once. Mr. Weller then sald thaton this theory the committee favored giving 7 per cent of the ap- Propriation to ‘THE NEGLECTED PORTIONS OP THR CITY. Col. Ludlow asked what Mr. Weller meant by the neglected portions, and that gentleman replied that the neglected portions of the city were the northeast, southeast, and southwest sections, Col. Ludlow inquired how much of the north. West was neglected, but Mr. Larner interrapted- the discussion on this subject, and sald that the comumittee had not come to discuss these ques- tions, only to tell What are the needs or the city. ‘A SHARP DISCUssION then arose between Commissioner Webb and Mr. Larner asto the apportionment of the appropria- ton. Mr. Larner assured Mr. Webb that he had not come to Nght any particular section, but to ask benefits for the whole community. Mr. Wheatly asked Mr. Larner what improve- ments he would recommend for the county, and that gentleman replied that he was not prepared tosay. ‘The question of the propriety of adopting 7 per cent as the basis for the appropriation foF the “wnesiected portions of the elty” was discussed at leny Mr. 5. C. Clark said that no man should sit down to apportion of the money to pe used ina par- ticular section. He believes that where improve- ments are most needed it 1s the duty of the missioners to spend the money. He gaid it deen admitted tat nine-tenths of the tures for street Improvements have northwest and for removing the o ments. After $4,000,000 had_been spent ‘Way more money had to be spent in remov: blocks and re-improving the streets, He Bai ithas been stated that there are ‘no wood ments left in the northeast.

Ludiow juinped up from his chair, and in an indignant manner gaia that if Mr. Clatk did not understand What was meant how could he expect that he, Col, Ludiow, could, ANOTHER SHARP SKIRMISH then occurred between Col. Ludlow and Mr. Clark as to who was quibbling and who wasn’t, which was stopped by Mr. Larner attempting to explain the needs. He iMlustrated his _mer by point- ing out several streets on the map which, he claimed, were built upon, although they were not thoroughfares, and others that should properly be opened to act &s outlets from the city. Mr. Wheatley picked up the schediile of streets as printed in Tie Star, and, after looking it over for a few seconds, he turned to Mr. Weller, who Was seated beside liim, and said that the scedule Of streets to be tmproved in West Washington did hot satisfy his idea of the needs of that section, He said that the committee have provided for the improvement of streets in the western partof that section, and have entirely overlooked the eastern half. Tals, ne thought, should not have been done. Mi. LARNER EXPLAINS, ‘Mr. Larner said he Wanted it understood that the Citizens’ Association do not demand that cer- tain things should be done at the expense ot others, but that they want the Commissioners to do ull they can. Mr. Larner then continued to ex. plain to Col. Ludlow what the “needs” are, and fol, little angry as the colonel persisted in’ this ine of inquiry. "Mr. Larner said that he couldn't Indefiaitely extend his search for the needs, Col, Ludlow very politely replied that his pur- pose in asking was to get down to an analysts ot Uhe subject. He said that the Commissionerstake ‘the view that there are streets which may not be built upon, put yet should be improved. ‘During a lull in the discussion Col.

For a time the room resounded with words spoken in loud tones, as all attempted to spoak at once. Col. Ludiow and Mr. Larner were in discussing the meaning of the comunittee in relation to the charge they mae of money havi been diverted. , Larner told long ie "asked, that he (Gol. Lugow) had read the report of the meeting, and. ca = he had read the newspaper account much right to the money as another, and if there ‘was not enough money to do alll the work, then he Delieved it only Justice that each street should have Its proportion to use as tar as it would go. Col. Ludlow said that that was perfectly absurd. He said that the Commissioners have no right to expend the money in this way, or say that one square on this street shall be improved at the ex. pense of another. If there is not enough money appropriated todo the work the Commlsstoners, in thelr judgment, select such streets as it 1s ab- solutely necessary to improve, and then cut out of the schedule enough of the remaining streets to make up the deficiency in the appropriation. Col. Ludiow asked Mr. Larner for what Commis- stoners the restrictive legislation in reference to diverting street appropriations was intended if not for the present Commissioners, Mr. Weller came to the rescue, but falled to sat- isfy Col.

MR. ‘CRANE ACQUITTED, Proceedings: in. the Police Court To- ¢ day. JUDGE SNELL HOLDS THAT NO BAD MOTIVE WAS PROVED BY THE FROSECUTION AND LETS MB. CRANE OFF, ‘The case of ex-Water Registrar John H. Crane, Who was charged by Inspector Holcombe, of the Water department, with violating a District ord!- nance in removing the top of an air-valve box on Latreet, not far from the scene of the late breaks in the water-main, at 2ist street, was taken up in the Police Court to-day. Several inspectors and other employes of the Water department were in court long béfore the case was called for trial On account of their presence in court an order was given for suspending the work on the main until the witnesses, or a portion of them, returned there. ‘Mr. Crane entered the court-room and took a seat ‘among the witnesses. The case was called to the attention of the courtby Mr. Padgett, and Mesera, 4. B. Williams and Chas. King appeared for the defendant, and pleaded “not guilty. ‘THE TESTIMONY. ‘Thomas Fitzgerald, an employe of the water department, testified that inst Thursday he left the work at the main with Mr. Costello. He was folng after 8 drink when he saw Mr. Crane) raise e top of the valve box and look in. Witness gala, “What inthe h——1are you doing st them Mr. Crane made an answer, but witness could not understand what he said. Witness said there ‘were four boxes near 18th and L streets, and wit. ness saw the derendant raise the tops of two of them. He lifted them not entirely off the boxes, Dut held them on one side in almost a perpendicu- lar position. id he injure the box?” asked the court. ‘No, sir,” answered witness, Daniel Costello, foreman in the water depart- ment, testified to seeing the defendant atthe boxes, and Superintendent Hayden, ot the water department, testifed that he never gave the de- fendant perinission to reipove the lld of the valve re you the inspector and tapper?” asked Mr. Williams, - ‘No, sir,” answered witness. Mr. Willlanis said that the information charged the removing of the lid without permisaion of the inspector and tapper. “Is there such an official as inspector and tap- per?” asked Mr. Williams, wichere-i#-@ man detatled as such,” answered. 38. “Who is he?” asked counsel. ‘kdwin F. Warner” answered witness. Witness sald he was not a plumber; that he was an en- gineer, but had a great deal to do with water pij “are these valves exposed?” inquired the juc “No, sir,” answered witness, they are covered with an iron box. THE JUDGE ON THE QUESTION OF MOTIVE. ‘The judge said that unless the prosecution ex- ect to show that Mr. Crane had some bad motive; that he did {t for some bad purpose, and not that he did it through mere curfosity and replaced it, he would not hastily find Mr. Crane guilty of an offense. “That's what the court has to decide,” sald Mr. Ps ut. “The ordinance chi removal, and v's for the court to construe the word ‘remove.’ They do not ex; to show, nor do they contend, that Mr. Crane had any bad motives.” The judge said he did not think that Mr. Crane had removed it, The word means to take away; it means that you must take it away from where 1 is placed for its use. If it had been arated with a fraudulent put it is one yut if it is simply lifted through curiosity 1t is different, OBJECT OF THE LAW. Mr. Padgett said that this ordinance was enacted to prevent persons from raising the lids and to prevent injury being done to the water works. The District is also lable for damages, and if every citizen has the right to lift these lids, the District will be subjected tothe bility of a suit for agthe lids might be carelessly left off the box and some dai caused thereby. He nog the only eae ‘Was whether the lifting of the lid one inch or six inches constituted @ removal, as charged in the information, The j é said that if he was forced to decide the question he would decide it against the Dis- trict. But 70 KEEF SOME FOOL PROM INJURING THE BOXES he would dispose of the case by taking the per- sonal recognizance of the defendant. In so dis- posing of the case, he would say that he exon- erated Mr. Crane from all improper intentions in litting the lid, “Mr. Williams said he would rather have the court dispose of the case, Mr. Williams sald that the testimony shows that this law was not in any manner violated. The act described by the wit- ness, he said, does not constitute a removal. It simply shows that he lifted up one side of it. The Jaw, he said, does not punish persons for lifting up ‘one'side of the trap, but for removing it. It was moved but not removed, and therefore there was no violation of the ordinance. He said that Mr. Crane Was ready to explain the matter if the court Was not fully satisfied with the testimony. ‘The Judge said he would be glad to hear Mr. Crane exp! the matter. MR. CRANR'S STATEMENT. ‘Mr. Crane testified that he was water registrar for the District at one time, and was acquainted with stop-valves and other boxes, He said that inthe morning he was to Mr. Larman about these boxes, a tut Padgett sald he objected to the conversa. jon, ‘The judge said that the conversation was not testimony, but he would let Mr. Crane tell it, in order that he might explain the matter.
