AMONG THE POLICEMEN, Raids on Crap Players—Applicants for s Relief, ete. Crap games are now giving the police con- siderable trouble. What makes the gatherings 80 objectionable is the boisterous and profane language used by the generally youthful gam- blers. Vacant lots, alleys, and street corners are turned into places for gambling. Another bad feature of the game is the fact that there are scores of half grown colored men who carry dice in their pockets and are always ready and willing to fleece young gamblers. It is a species of robbery, for which the perpe- trator cannot be properly punished, asa charge of unlawful assembly is all that can be made against the offenders, On the old mill lot, near the Metropolitan Branch and Boundary street, is a favorite ground for the gathering of “sweat” and “crap” players. Yesterday several raids were made and a number of players were captured. The snow storm to-day will have the effect of increasing the number of applicants to the po- lice for assistance. Chief Clerk Sylvester received the following additional contributions: Mrs. Mary C., $50; W. H. H., $5; A lady 50 cents, The officers of the sixth precinct have received five hundred loaves of bread from Mr. Chas. Sclmeider, the baker. They have also received a barrel of potatoes and twenty pairs of socks, Miss Condron, of the pension office, collected $10 from the clerks in her division, which she sent to the police this morning. There were forty-eight arrests made yester- day, which is an unusually large number for Sunday. Several dangerous holes in the sidewalksand a number of broken water plugs and hydrants have been reported, ———>—___ All’s Well That Ends Well. A VIRGINIA COUPLE, AFTER BEING THE VICTIMS OF A RUNAWAY ACCIDENT, ARE HAPPILY MARRIED. Yesterday there arrived from Richmond, Va., Mr. Charles E. Ellison and Miss Rosa B, Glass bent on matrimony. ‘A cab was taken at the Baltimore and Potomac depot, and they went in search of a license and minister, proceeding first to the court-house ‘and then to the resi- dence of the clerk of the court, Mr. R. J. Meigs, on New Jersey avenue. During the trip to ur. Meigs’ house the horse in the cab ran away, and the young couple and the driver were thrown out. Fortunately they were not hurt, and one of Mr. Meigs’ family, coming up inthe crowd to see what damage was done, recognized them, and in a few moments they were shown to Mr. Meigs’ residence, the license was pro- cured, and they were made one by Rev. Mr. Parsons. es An Alleged Child Murder. AN INVESTIGATION OF THE CASE IN PROGRESS IN GEORGETOWN. Policeman Wright T. Hawkins is now engaged in the investigation of a case of alleged murder in Georgetown, committed a few days ago. The | victim is said to have been an infant only a few minutes old. The mother of the dead babe is only sixteen years old and ugmarried. The young colored man who admits that he is the child’s father, says that he offered to marry the girl or provide for the child, but her relatives refused to consent to such an arrange- ment and drove him from the house. The child, it is asserted, was newly born when one of its relatives, who was present at the birth, ut it in a bucket of water, causing its death y drowning. There is no record of its birth or death at the health office. Oficer Hawkins learned of the alleged murder last Thursday, Saturday Lieut. Teeple received a letter from a citizen setting forth the alleged facts, and this morning the grand jury was furnished with a list of witnesses, who will be summoned to appear shortly. The names of the parties have not been made public. satan een Transfers of Real Estate. Deeds in fee have been filed as follows: L. Williamson, trustee. to Nancy Weldon, sub. 7, sq. 214; $256.75.

The Right of the Criminal Court to Try Civil Cases Assigned to it. ARGUMENTS PRO AND CON BEFORE THE COURT IX GENERAL TERM TO-DAY—A DECISION TO BE RENDERED TO-MORROW ON THE QUESTION RAISED BY MR, MATTINGLY. The Court in General Term, Chief Justice Bingham and Justices James, Cox, and Mont- gomery, convened this morning to hear the motion raising the question of jurisdiction, certified on Friday by Justice Montgomery. ‘This was raised in the case of Gilbert agt, Mor- gan et al. by Mr. W. F. Mattingly. Mr. Mattingly opened the argument on the motion to-day. He stated that a number of members of the bar coincided in his view that the Criminal Court had no jurisdiction in the law cases certified by the chief justice to Jus- tice Montgomery. He read the acta bearing on the subject and contended that the section in which the certification was made conflicted with the general scheme of the act creatin the court, and that the section of the act o 1879 which provided for the additional Circuit Court being ordered by the General Term was the section in force and repealed the act of 1874. Mr. A. G. Riddle argued that the second act was only the completion of a system; that its operation was not incompatible with the first. Where possible, existing laws should be recon- foe and he claimed that the laws were recon- cilable, Mr. Davidge spoke in support of Judge Mont- gomery ition, claiming that the acts were not inconsistent. Both related to ingested condition of business, the first to it and the latter to a greater congestion, there could be three demanded it. Mr. W. A. Cook argued that the act of 1874 was repealed by the act of 1879, and that the only act then in existence which was incon- sistent, was that of 1874, under which the cases Jircuit Courts if the business were certified. The first related to the trial of j Circuit Court cases, as did the last, and there was an inconsistency between the acts. He therefore claimed that the court had no juris- diction. The court stated that the decision would be rendered at 10 o’clock to-morrow. A HOMELESS CONGREGATION. The Swedenborgian Church Destroyed by Fire. The only Swedenborgain church society im this city was rendered temporarily homeless by the burning of its building on North Capitol street, just north of the capitol, Saturday night. A little girl gave the alarm to Assistant Chief Belt at Truck B’s headquarters, a few doors below the church, and five minutes later a gen- eral alarm was sounded. It took nearly an hour of hard work by the department to extin- guish the blaze. and then it was seen that the in- terior of the edifice had been completely de- stroyed. The regular morning service was held yesterday in the hall of the Spencerian busi- ness college. The fire Saturday night is supposed to have originated from the furnace in which the sex- ton had made a fire in the afternoon to warm up the edifice for the Sunday services The | congregation originally occupied a small frame structure on the site on North Capitol street, the stone edifice burned Saturday night was erected some yearsago. The loss is between $5,000 and $6,000. Ata joint special meeting of the Swedenbor- gian society and church committee, held last evening at the residence of the secretary, Gen. R. D. Mussey, 508 5th street northwest, a reso- lution was adopted declaring that, after a thor- ough investigation, the church attaches no blame to the sexton, Jos, Stelle, for the fire which destroyed the temple on Saturday night. The fact that not the basement where the fur- nace was, but the upper floors through which the pipes passed were destroyed led the so- ciety to fe comtieon ps A committee of seven was appointed to con- sider and report to the society upon the ad- visability of rebuilding the temple on the pres- ent site, or selecting a new location in another section of the city. The committee is Job Bar- nard, John Joy Edson, Gen. R, D. Mussey, Jno. ‘A. Sibbald, Dr. H. Schooley, Mrs. Flora M. Bar- nard, and Mrs, Sara A. Spencer. Mrs. Metze- rott’s offer of Metzerott hall for a present place of worship and the offer of Wesley chapel for a place of assembly for the approaching annuay meeting of the Maryland New Church associa- tion were gratefully accepted. The loss of the temple is a great sorrow to those whose dear- est associations in life cluster round its altar. When the alarm sounded Mahoney, of truck B company, started to the lower floor of the engine-house by the sliding pole, but missing his hold fell to the floor and was badly injured. sree tenons seg DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. * MISCELLANEOUS.

HOW THEY ESCAPED. ‘The intendant of the Washington asylum has submitted to the Commissioners a report re- specting the escape recently of three prisoners npg liggetccr sae by cutting the bar of a window and descending to the ground by means of a rope made of blankets. ‘The inten- dent says that it would seem that with proper vigilance the officers on duty should have been able to prevent this escape, but “when the hours of Sty and the compensation allowed these officers are considered, I think a certain amount of leniency should be accorded them. I hope, therefore, that whatever blame may be attached to them may be overlooked.” WASTE OF WATER IN PUBLIC BUILDINGS, The Commissioners have sent to Secre- tary Vilas and Attorney-General Garland let- ters calling attention to the fact that the water inspectors had discovered a strong flow of wa- tes from those buildings at night. The letters v: “In the interest of the great number of families in the District who are deprived of a flow of water in their pipes during a large part of the day, and of those sections of the city where the pressure on the fire-hydrants is con- stantly too low for efficient service, I venture to request you to keep down the consumption, during both day and night, to the actual needs of the office for sanitary purposes.” ee A Severe Cut in the Leg. A FIGHT BETWEEN BAR-TENDERS WITH A SERIOUS RESULT. John Minnett, head bar-tender at the Ar- lington hotel, and A. B. Tompkins, his assist- ant, had not been on good terms the past few days and Saturday morning after working hours they determined to “fight it out.” They agreed to meet Saturday night after their day's labor was finished. It was about 12:30 o'clock when they came together at 1544 and H streets for the purpose of settling their differences with bare fists. Minnett suggested that they go across to Lafayette square, but before the fucetion was settiod the fight started, Tomp- kins his coatoff. His antagonist was taken by surprise by his quick movements, but he did the best he could under the circumstances, and was “doing Thompkins up” when the latter cut him in the leg with a knife. The knife made a wound about 3 inches long, barely escaping the femoral After receiving the injury Minnett went to Nairn’s drug afte rward removed to the Emergency hospital, where his ee dressed by Drs.

Though there has been a good deal of cabi- net gossip from Indianapolis during the past forty-eight hours the situation is practically unchanged from that indicated in Tue Stax on Saturday. The only certainty recognized on all sides is Mr. Blaine for Secretary of State, thongh inasmuch as there is not much said in regard to Mr. Wanamaker it is thought that he is also definitely determined upon for some cabinet position. CONGRESSMAN THOMAS’ BOOM. Tue Star statgment in regard to the selec- tion of Congressman Thomas, of Illinois. for the head of the Navy department now finds anecho from Indianapolis, and the Tribune correspondent says: “The captain's chief backer is Senator Cullom. During his visit to Illinois # couple of weeks Ago Mr. Cullom se- cured the signatures of all the members of the state senate and of a number of the state offi- cials to a petition in favor of Capt. Thomas. Since his return to Washington the Illinois delegation in the House of Representatives has drawn up a similar petition, and Senator Cul- Jom has indorsed both documenta. ‘The papers will reach the President-elect to-morrow or ‘Tuesday. Capt. Thomas has served five terms in mgress. He declined a re- nomination last year because he was critically ill at the time the district convention was held. He was the chairman of the naval committee for oue season, and has been a leading member of it since the demo- crats have controlled the organization of the House. He has made a eaccugh study of naval construction, his friends say, and would be a competent man to direct the rebuilding of the navy. Capt. Thomas has recovered his lly by his backers for Secretary place, D an invitation to the captain from Gen.

There seems to be as much uncertainty in re- gard to the next Secretary of the Treasury as ever; but it is noticeable that some of the cor- respondents who have been insisting that Col. John C. New had been definitely decided upon now intimate that ex-Secretary Windom is a strong probability. Mr. New’s presence in New York and the fact that he has had conferences with Messrs. Platt, Miller, Stephen B. Elkins and other republican leaders, has confirmed the suspicion that his visit to the metropolis at this time was not upon “purely private busi- ness,” as he himself asserted, but that he was commissioned to use his efforts in adjusting the differences between the rival factions, 4 LETTER FROM MR.

I do not expect to enter the cabinet of Gen. Harrison, and the suggestions of your letter have no influence upon my mind. I am not a candidate for the Presidency,cither now or in the remote future, and that question has not influenced my mind in the slighest degree. There are many rea- sons why I conld not accept the place, but that is not one of them, Very truly yours, W. B. ALLISON. To Liston McMillen, Oskaloosa, A CHURCH INCIDENT. Yesterday, General Harrison attended the Methodist church, of which Rev. Dr. Cleveland is pastor, accompanied by Mrs. McKee. Gen- eral Harrison rarely attends any other church than his own, and at the close of the services he was almost forced to hold a reception for the Methodist church-goers who wanted to shake hands with him. MR. PLATT TALES. According to the Brooklyn Eagle when Mr. Platt was asked in regard to a conference on Saturday night, he said: “The proposed con- ference will not take place to-night. I had a this afternoon. and there is nothing more at present to be said about the cabinet. I have of course, given up all hopes of the Treasury, but there is a chance of the navy portfolio comin: to New York, and next to the Treasury it wil be the most important position in the cabinet. Mr. New called on me in order te learn some- thing about the present situation in New York, and I told him some things that surprised him. I think that I thoroughly understand New York state politics. To find out this you must leave the city of New York and go into the great counties that give the republican majori- ties. The President-elect has been posted upon New York politics by men who know as much about them as Nicodemus did about a second birth. They talk about a man being a politician as if it were acrime, but when they want to win an election they first come to the politicians, I need only have remained inac- tive during the recent election and New York state would have gone democratic. The idea of the President's advisers seems to be to have the men from other states sit down at the first table and feast, and in case anything is left over New York may get it, provided she cares to wait outside the grating a and beg for it. Mr. New, when he heard what I to say, said that’ he was astonished, and that Mr. Harrison had been grossly deceived.” “It is said that Mr. Harrison has not got the sand to act in an emergency like the present one in New York state, and that he has been braced by certain prominent New Yorkers who have made him believe that you are not neces- sary to republican success in New York. Who do you think has done the bracing?” “Oh, Col. Elliott Shepard, Mr. Plummer, the president of the Down-town Dry Goods Men’s association, and others of their ilk.” “If you were offered the secretaryship of the Navy, would you take it?” “TI cannot say now; perhaps I might.” NOTES. L, A. Dudley, a colored republican of Ameri- cus, Ga., and one of the two Georgia delegates to the Chicago convention who voted for Gen. Harrison, will call on the general to warn him against giving too much ition to post-elec- tion converts to the exclusion of old time re- publi ns... Lieut. Gov.

A Discussion on the Relationship Be- tween Osculation and Anthropophagy. ‘From the Boston Transcript. There is an evident rel between kissing and cannibalism which must have been discovered by any person of speculative turn of mind who has given to the matter thought- fal consideration; but probably no one has been able to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion as to which of the two customs antedates the other. But however this may be, it is easy to perceive that kissing may have grown out of cannibalism, or that the eating of human flesh may have had its rise in the osculatory habit. 8 ing, for the sake of the argument, that Kloving le the mare ancient of the two. it needs but a few words to convince the most incredulons that cannibalism was its natural and necessary outgrowth; for what is kissing, after all, but an incipient form of fleah-eating? The difference is one of degree only. In the One case. we place our lips to the banquet and imbibe its sweetness by tion; m the other, prac ly the same result is achieved by mastication and deglutition. One is the re- finement of feeding; the other a gross degra- dation of palatine exaltation. Kissing is a con- comitant of civilization and enlightenment; cannibalism is the badge of the barbarian. In these extremes we see two species of a common, genus, two phases of the same thing. If kissing be the older of the two, it is fair to be presumed that it originated among enlight ened and refined races, and that it degenerated into cannibalism only as mankind in certain localities sank in the scale of social condition, The civilized man sips his drink from a spoon, the savage gets down on all fours and guzzles it like a wild beast; the form kisses, the latter devours, the flesh of his feliow. It is in either case merely refinement gone astray, turned in- side out, subverted, demoralized. But, on the other hand, kissing may have grown out of flesh-eating. "This we think the more plausible hypothesis, Man as first created Was probably little above the brute creation, His intuitions were from below rather than from above. He saw the brute devour flesh of his own species, and he naturally followed the only exampl was presented to him, and cannibalism was no doubt the rule rather than the exception. In process of time, however, mankind grew effeminate by the acquisition of worldiy goods and the consequent increase of luxuries and labor-eaving devices, and the palate which at one time craved fleshy aliment In its gross form became refined and squeam- ish, and could no longer brook what was once 80 grateful, and in this way some philosopher in the science of epulation made the grand and beneficent discovery that the same sen- sation, only purified and refined, which came of flesh-eating, was obtainable’ by applying one’s lips to the lips of a fellow wnortal’ This discovery was availed of gradually by the epi- cures of his day, until kissing had among the more civilized peoples entirely usurped the place of cannibalism. Originally, it is fair to suppose that kissing was indulged in without regard to sex, a supposition all the more proba- ble in view of the fact that in France the men still do their osculation among themselves, and in our country the women prefer to kiss babies or one another rather than men. It is clearly a relic of cannibalism, and intersexual relations have nothing whatever to do with the custom, But blessings on the man who invented kise- ing, or who restored it, whichever may have been the course of evolution, eee They Cannot Dance It. WHY THE ENGLISH DO NOT LiKE THE GLIDE WALTZ. From the Baltimore American. In yesterday's American was published a cable from a London correspondent of the Washington Stan, stating that London society was all agog over a dancing controversy, for which they blame the Americans who have crossed the pond. They claim, through Mr. George Grossmith, leading man for Gilbert and Sullivan, that American waltzers are to blame for introducing in their midst the glide waltz, which they think ridiculous, Speaking of the accusation, Prof. James W. Bangert, teacher of dencing at Standard hall, corner Baltimore and Frederick streets, says: “The blame for introducing what they term the rfdiculous glide waltz could be at- tributed to no other p nem the American people, for the Engiish are too slow and clumsy%o introduce the dance, which I think, is the acme of America’s graceful dances. The English are not only the most ungracefal dancers in the world, but they are very tardy in —— even the simplest of our dances. Ihave had the commanders and sub-officers of English steamers to join my classes di their stay in the city, but on account of their short stature and broad build dancing was more like hard work to them than a pleasure, and they became disgusted before they could ac- quire our style of dancing. One thing is sure, and that is Londoners are about twenty years behind the times in terpsichorean art. tis clearly shown by them when they say the Prince of Wales and those of the Marlborough set, as wellas a number of Americans now living abroad, waltz and galop incorrectly, be- cause they do not dance entirely upon their toes, like q maid of the ballet. The reason they don’t like the glide is because they cannot master it, and condemn it on those grounds, The waltz is truly beautifal, and consists of six steps to the right, just the same as in the old waltz; then glide back in three steps, re- verse to left in six more steps, and then by gliding back three more steps you will find yourself in your original position. Of course, this is repested as many times as you wish, and the gliding movement does away with’ the dizzy feeling which is caused by the continual round or German waltz, Signor Hazazer says: ery few American dances are frotiier than the glide waltz, and Europeans have no dance which would ‘com- pare favorably with it, It would be impossible to dance on the toes only, for the pleasure then would be looked upon as'a bore. Waltzing im America is done by making a full rest on the first note of each bar, then follow gracefully om the toes without springing, so as to make the move an abruptone. In Canada some of my pepils were compelled to sit down while the foreigners were on the floor at any public re- ception, because in their horrible galop they took up the entire floor in a very few seconds, The best fs we have to show for the as larity of the glide waltz is, while numbers of other pretty round dances have been introduced since the glide’s tirst appearance, they all have gone out of style, and the glide hold its own everywhere. who are decrepit with age and infirmities, im suffering connected with it.
