Satur- day night at the O street market, Timothy was amusing himself by striking at his sister-in- law with a whip when Sergeant Perry came along. Timothy was requested to keep quiet, but he got off his wagon and made more noise than ever. He accused the officer of arresting him because he was a “Harrison and Morton * nigger,” but as the sergeant is a Harrison and Morton man that excuse would not do and the judge cautioned Timothy about the free use of tongue and fined him $5. we Manzrace Licrxses.—Marriage licenses have been issued by the clerk of the court to Jno. 8.

Major Moore Gives Some Interesting Figures in His Annual Report. Major W. G. Moore, superintendent of police, |im his annual report, just submitted to the Commissioners, expresses the hope that the bill authoring a further increase of eight ser- geants and sixty privates, which has passed the House and is now awaiting action in the Sen- ate, will become a law. He says the District cannot be adequately protected by a force which, between midnight and sunrise, does not average more than one hundred and ten men. He recommends the remodeling of the third and fifth precinct police stations, and the ex- tension of the patrol system to the fifth, sev- enth, and eighth precincts. He suggests that alight one-horse ambulance suitable for un- paved roads and rapid transit be provided for emergency cases. The report says the records of the year evidence increased efficiency and improved discipline on the Part of officers and jmen. “In 1, instances,” the rej says, “men were detained in the Police Court after 11 o'clock a, m. who should either have been {on duty or taking needed rest. This evil in- | creases yearly, and measures should be adopted which will relieve the police of this tax — their strength, and at the same time afford speedy trial to arrested persons.” STATISTICS OF CRIME. There were 20,530 arrests made, of which 9,958 were colored; 17,221 males and 3,300 females. bi “The tables accompanying this report,” the major writes, “show the various offenses charged, also the , Sex, and disposition of those arrested. Of the whole number, 7,198 were dismissed, personal bonds were taken in 1,899, and 1,396 were nolle prossed. Those 1 ed were mostly arrested for intoxication {there being no law p depp hoes punishment, and eir temporary detention by the police being necessary for their protection), disorderly con- duct, violation of District ordinances, keeping dogs without license, &c. The cases thus dis- posed of aggregated 10,438, and when taken Sven the When meeher (20,580), left but 10,042 for trial; a much smaller number in proportion to the population than elsewhere in the large cities. In this connection it should be remem- bered that the capital of the nation has a popu- lation peculiarly its own.” ae After giving a table of criminal statistics, the report goes on: ae “It will be observed that of the 2,041 crimi- nal cases reported to the department 1.432 ar- rests were made, 65 per cent of which were | convicted on the preliminary hearing, and that of the number apprehended 40 per cent were colored, while the colored population is but one-third of the white. Robbing of houses and sneak-thieving were committed by colored criminals in three instances to one by the whites, while forgery, embezzlement, and false pretenses—crimes rapidly on the increase all over the country, and requiring a greater de- gree of intelligence on the pert of the operator | —were the work of white people in the propor- tion of about two to one colored. The most exasperating and meanest work with which the police have to contend is carried on by sneak thieves, and the petit larceny table demon- strates that 791 cases out of 999 were committed by colored persons. “Of the higher crimes, that of murder has | not been the exception here, and never was, | and it is with regret that an increased number of cases myst be chronicled. During the year | nineteen cases were charged, nine white and ten colored. which were disposed of as follows: Dismissed, three; nolle prossed, one: grand . fourteen; not disposed of, one. Ninety- ight dead infants were found by the police, a | fact strongly suggestive of the want of an effec- tive law against seduction and fornication. DISHONEST SERVANTS, “Servants and other domestic attendants form a considerable proportion of the arrested, viz.: Cooks, 57: coachmen, 13; porters, 31; serv- j ants, 1,276; a total of 1,377, or 7 per cent of the | entire year’s cases. These people are so closely | associated with honschold’ affairs, and have 80 many opportunities for pilfering, when so dis- posed, as to make it desirable that a record | should be kept of those whose dishonesty has | been clearly established; and it will be the aim of this department, when furnished with | proper facilities, to collect and make available | such information as will tend to exclude the | unworthy from employment. | “The number of persons arrested for carry- ing concealed weapons was 198 ; 56 White and |187 colored, am increase of about 40 per cent over the previous year. It is evident that | property of this description should not be re- | turned ‘to the owner after ht has been tried, | convicted and punished, or, if unclaimed, that | it should not be sold at public auction, where | low prices induce the purchase and possession j of weapons by the vicious. It is therefore | hoped that legislation will make effective the recommendation in the accompanying report | of the chief (also property) clerk, that all such | articles which come into his possession through | violations of law shall be destroyed, as are im- plements of gaming seized by the police, in | order that they may not again be used for un- | lawful purposes.” | _ The report refers to the almost entire cessa- | tion of efforts to enforce the lottery and policy laws on account of the decision of the Supreme Court regarding trials in the Police Court. THE PROPERTY CLERK'S SUGGESTION. The report of the chief clerk and property clerk, Mr. Richard Sylvester, accompanying, | that of the major, states that he has “deemed | it to the best interest of the department and ; the community to withhold the return of fire- arms to the vicious class from whom they were | taken, despite their protestations. To illus- | trate how one revolver may operate to continue the practice of carrying concealed arms, I would state that an identical weapon has passed through the records of my office a third time, as taken from the same individual. If this character of property is not returned to the owner, after he has paid the penalty attached to carrying it, the law, as it exists, requires that the same shall be sold at public auction. In this wise an armory of cheap and deadly in- struments is placed in the Teach of the wanton and ignorant classes every year. The number of persons arrested during the year for carry- ing concealed weapons has increased about 40 per cent over the previous year.” eat Transfers of Real Estate.

She was called before the curtain several times during the evening.

This bit of realistic acting was watched with intense interest by the audience.

Last evening about 8 o'clock fire was dis- covered in the store-house in the rear of the Shoomaker Company’s liquor stores, No. 1331 and 1333 E street northwest. The cause of the fire is not known, but the flames were dis- covered by the watchman, who called the police patrol wagon, and it was not until the wagon arrived that a regular fire alarm was turned in, When the police arrived the fire had gained considerable headway. The building in which the fire occurred is a three-story structure, and is separated from the front building by a 30- foot yard. The building was filled with liquors valued at about $50,000. The fire started in the rear of the building, and the wines were stored principally in the front of it, so the loss was not so great as if the stock had been distributed oe the building. When the fire-engines arrived the firemen had to go through a long alley, which caused further loss of time, and before the water was thrown on the building the flames had spread to the upper. floors and was bursting through the roof. Before the firemen had the flames under control the building had been badly —— and about $6,000 worth of wines had been destroyed. The total loss is estimated at about $10,000. The building is owned by J. K. Rickey, and is fully insured. The liquors were partially covered by insurance. The fire created some excitement because of its close roximity to the National Theater, Ebbitt ouse and Harris House, and attracted sev- eral thousand rsons. The flames were viewed from the hotel windows by the guests, who were assured that tHere was no danger of the flames gris 2 After the flames were extinguished the firemen were treated toa supper by Mr, Harris, proprietor of the Harris House. —— Wants nis Name Removep rao Te S1ax.— Messrs.

AND 0. ENGINEER OF EX- CEEDING IT NOT SUSTAINED TO THE SATISFAC- ‘TION OF JUDGE MILLER IN THE POLICE COURT. This morning in the Police Court. James Buckley, an engineer on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, was charged with violating the police regulations in running his train at a rate of speed greater than 12 miles an hour. Messrs. Hamilton and Colbert appeared for the defend- ant and pleaded not guilty. Officer Kattler, of the sixth precinct, testified that on the 10th of this month he timed a traih on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at Sixth street northeast, It took the train six seconds to run from the railroad sign to Fifth street, a distance of 93 yards. At this rate the train would make about twenty-nine miles an hour. When asked what mark he used to measure the distance witness said that he used the sign “Reduce speed to four miles an hour” at one end, and the gates at the Fifth-street crossing at the other. Jacob Frech was called as a witness, but as his testimony was of a general nature, and not paren ep e speed of this train, it was d out. The defendant testified in his own behalf that his train, he thought, was going at a rate of speed not more than twelve miles an hour. When it reached Boundary street the time was about two minutes before 10 o’clock, and when he arrived in the depot it was a fraction after three minutes past 10, making the run within the city limits, a distance of about a mile, ina fraction more than five minutes. W. H. Griffith, conductor of the train, gave similar testimony. He said that the train was three minutes late at Boundary street. The run from Hyattsville to the Boundary was made in six minutes, and the remainder of the run took more than five minutes. Judge Miller commented on the evidence offered on either side, and said that the means used by the officer were not at all satisfactory to the court. He thought the proper way to measure was for two men to take positions at a riven distance apart and let both time the fam The case was dismissed. see thee Generous Hebrews.

Aspecial to the Baltimore Sun from Salis- bury, Md., October 29, says: An exciting scene occurred a few miles beyond Pittsville, Wicom- ico County, this morning, at the farm of J. Hil- ary Brattan. Mr. Brattan, who is the son of W. B. Brattan, a wealthy farmer of that section, has been occupying one of his father’s numer- ous farms for several years without paying any rent. This year his father told him he must have rent, and this morning he went over to Hilary's to get his share of the corn. He was told by his son not to take the corn, but paying no attention to the warning, he proceeded to load his wagon. Young Brattan oming en- ranged at his farther’s action, entered the house and soon emerged with a double-barreled gun. Without warning he pense fire upor his father. The first load k effect in his left side, but fortunately he was standing in such a position as caused the shot to glance outward, making ,an ugly flesh wound. Young Brattan then emptied the second load at his father, the shot si him in the left hand. His father at once got into the cart and left the farm, When he arrived home he was in a week and exhausted condition from loss of blood. The doctors say he will recover if blood-poisoning does not set in. A warrant has been swory out for the arrest of young Brattan, but up to this writing he has not béen found. pio aaneenent Gorman’s Advice Unheeded.

After riding several blocks Jones made himself an objectionable passenger, and Con- ductor John Holland ejected him from the car. He then stood in the street until the arrival of the next car, when he stepped on the platform. himself upon the dash! he skeen either side of the door’ tua rettsed to allow the to move one way or the other. luctor Robey spoke to Jones and requested him to move, him ant he would etlbec have to do so or get off car. “It will take a better man than you to putme off,” Jones replied. Jones is a very large man and Robey is under the medium size, but is not frightened Before the negro could realize what was easily. being done Robey hadi landed him in the street. This occurred near B street southwest. When Jones recovered from his rise the car had gone some distance.

The conductor saw Jones" coming and picked up the brake handle, the only weapon available, and warned the negro to keep away, but the latter did not take heed and the conductor struck at him. As he did so Jones threw up his arm and caught the blow, but a second blow struck him over the left eye. Then Jones staggered, and as the car moved off he fell to the ground. He was picked by Officer Kaucher, and taken in the patrol wagon to the Emergency Hospital. When ex- amined by Dr. Sill his Il was found to have been fractured, and five pieces of bone were taken from the fracture. While his injuries are of a dangerous nature, the physician thinks he will recover. The conductor went with his ear to Boundary street, and was arrested by Officer Kaucher when he returned. Last night it was thought that Jones would probably die, ona eames ‘oe ats urt, Robey m in the Police Court, was charged with assault and battery with in- tent to kill, and the case was continued indefi- nitely.

An eulogist, given somewhat to derangement of epithets, described the object of his pane- gyric as uniting the prudence of the lion with the strength of the serpent. Lord Sackville, whose collateral ancestor and predecessor in the title which he now bears, displayed pra- dence not altogether leonine at Minden, may possess the strength of the serpent, but is less prudent than even the most cautious and cir- cumspect of lions. The letter which is now engaging public attention on both sides of the Atlantic, and which most probably formed a topic of after-dinner talk between Lord Salis- bury and Mr. Phelps at Hatfield, is likely to ‘have momentous consequences. It will proba- bly bring Lord Sackville’s mission at - ington to a close, and will possibly defeat Mr. Cleveland. In the last century, spendthrifts in Paris called their creditors ‘“‘Ies Anglais” be- cause they were so easily taken in. Lord Sackville maintains this noble tradition of the national character. The best way of preventing Lord Sackville from having in future anything to do with American politics is for him to come home. But the past cannot be undone. He has taken in American politics, Already Mr, Cleveland is denounced as England’s man and as the British, not the American, candidate for the presidency, and Lord Sackville’s letter will probably turn’a good many votes him. The one thing which a country will not stand is foreign intermeddling with domestic matters. The suspicion that intrigues were di- rected against Lord Palmerston, and Lord John Russell's declaration that his noble friend would be the minister, not of France, Austria, or Russia, but of England, were decisive in his favor. Lord Sackville’s resignation, recall or dis- missal will not undo the mischief he has done, which will bear fruits not only in the next presidential election, but during the next residential term.

A special to the Baltimore American from Wilkesbarre, Pa., October 29, says: for some time a portion of the suburbs of Plymouth, known as Carey Hill, has shown signs of a cay- ing of the surface. About 3 o’clock this morn- ing the house occupied by Henry Fox, and about half an acre surrounding it, went down fully 12 feet. The shock was sudden and very violent, The inmates of the house were thrown from their beds, the house tipped over, and the rear extension was torn loose from the main building, and not long after collapsed. The main portion of the house held together, though the walls were split and gaping. The family were terror-stricken, and ned out of the falling house in their nightclothes. All the furniture and household goods were de- stroyed or dam ed. oe Decision was given in Winnipeg continuing the injunction against the crossing of the Can- adian Pacific tracks by the local government until the decision of the Supreme Court at Ot- tawa has been given upon the constitutional point of the right of Manitoba to charter the road in question. The jury. in the case of George Eddleman, charged with the murder of Thomas C. Gres- ham, at Atlanta, Ga., returned a verdict of ac- 5 ec yesterday. Gresham was shot by Ed- jeman over a, trivial arenes . kaon was a great surprise, an t night an indigna- tion meeting was held, at which charges were made against en. Rox.
