A Sketch of Andrew C. Bradley, Who Has Been Honored by the President. Mr. Andrew C. Bradley, who was to-day nom- inated tobe judge of the District Supreme Court, is a well-known resident of Washington, having been born and brought up here. As a boy, he attended school at the Ritten- house academy, which has been so many years presided over by Mr. O. C. Wight. He went to college at the Columbian uni- versity, and graduated in law from the Harvard law school in 1867. He has been a practicing attorney before the local bar for twenty years, and is regarded by the legal fraternity as'an able lawyer, = Mae man, and entitled to the highest respect’ from the commu- nity. He is about forty-five years of age. His personal appearance is very pleas- ing, and he would be classed as a handsome ma He broad _ shouldered, in the e of life, and from hi well- nit figure would be considered an all-round athlete He is a member of the well-known family of that name who have been prominent in this District since the seat of government was re- moved here from Philadelphia. At that time his grandfather, Hon. Andrew Bradley, of Con- necticut, came here as assistant postmaster- general, His father was Charles Bradley, who for many years was cashier of the National Bank of the Republic, and Joseph Bradley, who was aneminent lawyer, was his uncle. Mr. Brad- ley is a brother-in-law of Mr. A. R. Shepherd, both having married daughters of the lute Col. Wm. P. Young. Mr. Bradley has two children, and resides at 2013 Q street. HOW HE WAS SELECTED, Mr. Bradley's friends state that he did not personally seck the position, and declined to have his name presented before any partisan meeting of local lawyers. Many of the prominent members of the bar, however, exerted their influence in his behalf, among whom were Judge Jere Wilson, Mr. Mattingly and Mr. Engch Totten. It is ‘understood also that the Attorney-General a few days ago asked Rev. Dr. Bartlett about Mr. Bradley's fitness for the position, and his high endorsement of Mr. Bradley’s character doubtless had consider- able weight in making the selection. WHAT IS SAID ABOUT THE NOMINATION. The nominetion is generally regarded by Washington lawyers with favor. Thata resi- dent of the city and a good lawyer should have been selected they consider a matter of con- gratulation. When aSran man greeted Mr. Bradley as“‘Your honor” about 1 o’clock to-day in his office, in the Fendall buijding, he looked astonished and asked, ‘Is it so?” Before he had time to say more, Messrs. R. R. Perry, C. C. Elliot, Hosea Gordon, Mr. Hopkins, all came in with their congratulations. About the court-honse the sentiment of every one who spoke of the appointment was the same, that it was an excellent selection, Commissioner Webb said: ‘‘The nomination of Mr. Bradley is avery good one. He is an able lawyer and possessed of comparative youth, He will make an excellent judge.” Mr. 8. B, Ladd, of the firm of Payne & Ladd, said: “I am satisfied that the selection will meet with general favor among the lawyers, who regard Mr. Bradley not only asa good lawyer, but possessed of a great deal of learning and polish, In my opinion he will fill the position with credit to himself and the public.” Chief Justice Bingham says that from what he has seen of Mr. Bradley he will make an ex- cellent judge. He is in the prime of life and has shown himself to bea good lawyer, and will no doubt fill the position admirably. Judge Montgomery said that he had a high opinion of Mr. Baadley. “He is a good lawyer, a good man, and will make an excellent judge,” he said. Mr. Bradley is a republican in polities, and Mr. A. A. Lipscomb says that that is the only thing against him. Judge Cox was informed of the appointment | by a Sran reporter, He expressed ho surprise when he heard that Mr. Bradiey’s name had been sent in, He said, however. to a Star re- porter that Mr. Bradley was a friend of his, and he did not care to talk about his friends for the newspapers. 8. C. Miller said that he regarded the oe pointment as an excellent one and he thought it would give great satisfaction not only to the members of the bar but to the public, W. F. Mattingly was engaged in’ trying a case this afternoon and when the news of the appointment was whispered about the court- | room he remarked to a friend that it was an excellent appointment. Judge J. J. Weed says that no one ought to take exceptions to the appointment, for it is an admirable one in every sense of the word, Mr. F. W. Hackett said: ‘He is a good man, a District man, and it is a great thing to get a District man. I knew him at Harvard. He was a good student. a good man, a good lawyer, and will make a good judge.” Gen, Birney said that Mr. Bradley was a young man of large experience and excellently qualitied forthe place. ‘What was needed,” he continued, a District lawyer, familiar with our laws, ach aman can do more work than five men taken from outside the District. We have now an appointment of this char- acter.” Mr. Howard L. Prince said that it was the general opinion that there no better equipped man practising at the bar than Mr. Bradley, He thought it was a good appointment—a good square District ateone nt. R. T. Morsell thought that it wasan excellent appointment. 5. W. Rittenhouse said that the selection of Mr. Bradley was a very creditable one and would prove highly satisfactory. A Birney said: ‘Mr. Bradley is of suit- jhe has had an extended experience, |and is a thoroughly competent man for the place. He will be an ornament to the bench, and I am glad he got the place.” Mr. Charles Fowler though it was an excel- lent appointment. Mr. Bradley, he said, was a bright men and would make an excellent aj pointment. He thought that his selection would give general satisfaction, Howard Clagett, clerk of the Police Court, was of the opinion that Mr. Bradley's appoint: ment was an excellent one, and that he would be a credit to the bench. ——_—>—___. The Shooting at the Capitol. DR, CUNNINGHAM ON TRIAL FOR ASSAULT WITH INTENT TO KILL. The case of Dr. Sidney B. Cunningham, dis- bursing clerk of the House of Representatives, charged with shooting at Turner K. Hackman, | the riding page of the House, on Friday of last week, as published in Tue Stan at the time, was called for trial in the Police Court this | afternoon. The charge was assault and battery | with intent to kill. Col. Robert Christy appeared for the defend- ant, and pleaded not guilty. Assistant District- | Attorney Armes was the prosecuting officer. Mr. Hackman testified that he had been rid- ing page of the House of Representatives for | about twelve years. The defendant, he said, was employed as disbursing clerk of the House. | On the day charged witness went into defend- ant’s room, and after signing his (witness’) check, he walked over and stood near the win- dow. Witness then said to defendant, “You remember the other day when I was in your office, I addressed you in a gentlemanly way. You struck me in a cowardly way. I brand you as a coward for it.” The | defendant made some reply, _ but what it was witness did -+not hear. The defendant then put his hand on his pocket and ordered witness out. The defendant | started around the counter and witness started | to back out. Defendant struck at him, and he | caught the blow on the arm in attempting to | ward it off. Then blows between them fol- lowed, witness backing out of the room all the time. ’ They managed to get separated, and the defendant DREW HIS REVOLVER, COCKED IT, AND FIRED one shot at witness. Some one cried, “Run, | Hackman, he'll kill you.” ; Witness was too far from the defendant to grab the pistol and he managed to get out of | the room. He heard Dr. Cunningham’s clerk say: “My God, doctor, don’t shoot him, or | don’t kill him.” Witness said that at the time of the difficulty he did not have a weapon about him. Thomas A. Keech, a page in the house, gave imilar testimony. He heard Mr. Phillips say: “Look out, Hack, he’s going to shoot you.” Witness said that ar. ‘Hackman’ *Dack was toward the defendant when the shot was fired. The bullet struck the wall about seven or eight feet from the floor. Witness did not know ‘that the defendant kept money or other property belonging to the government that required him to keep a revolver for protection. Everett L.

SENATOR EVARTS DENIES, The attention of Senator Evarts was drawn this afternoon to published reports from Al- bany, N.Y., that Senator Evarts was con- sidering the question of seat in the Senate, and that he had been offered the mission to England. but had declined. The Senator said: ‘‘Noth- ing been said by me respecting a retirement from the position I how hold. As to the English mission, a man can not well refuse what has not been offered him. There is no authority from me for the publication of any of these stories.” THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON IRRIGATION AND RECLAMATION OF ARID LANDS held a meeting yesterday for the purpose of making arrangements for their trip through the states and territories requiring irrigation.

CURTIS FOR FIVE THOU- SAND DOLLARS DAMAGES, This morning in Circuit Court, Division 2, Judge Montgomery, the trial of the case of James R. Curtis against Officer J. B. Slack for 5,000 for arresting him, as alleged, without probable cause, in May, 1888, was resumed, It is alleged that there had been an affray near Mt. Olivet in which several parties, white and colored, were engaged, and Ofticers k and Fifield came up and arrested several of them; that some of the colored men refused to go with the officers unless Curtis was arrested when milking his cows, and although he was subject to fits and the officers were told of it, he was thrown intoacell. The evidence was somewhat conflicting, some of the witnesses testifying that Curtis engaged iz the fight and others that he had nothing to do with it. The case was argued by Mr, Cahill for the plaintiff, who claimed that Slack arrested Curtis without robable cause, and recklessly and wantonly. Mr. Riddle argued that the officer had done nothing but his duty, and that the evidence fully sustained the officer. INSTRUCTIONS OF THE COURT. ‘The court instructed the jury that the three points to be decided were: Was the arrest made by the officer? Did he have probable cause for making the arrest; did he have reasonable cause? or did he act wantonl; ously? ‘The jury found a verdict for defendant, costae cia las Warden Crocker Reappointed.

CLEVELAND'S CHICKENS STOLEN BY MEN WHO HAVE BIG FEET. Burglars visited the premises of ex-President Cleveland at Oak View some time Sunday night. The hasp was forced from the door of the chicken house and four Plymouth Rock and five Wyandotte hens were carried off. Patrick Kernan, who has charge of the premises, re- ported the robbery to the police, but as the chickens’ heads were probably taken of at an early hour __ yesterday morning it is not likely that they will be recov- ered. In making an examination of the prem- ises large footprints were found leading from the house, which may furnish a clue to the thieves, The Lennox school building was broken open between Saturday night and Sunday morning and robbed of lead pencils, chalk, paper an other articles, Abraham W, Frank, No, 225 1314 street, re- ports stolen from his house yesterday twenty- ve shirts. a lot of drawers, anda silk dress pattern, Laura J, Siven, No. 223 13th street southwest, reports stolen from her house yesterday a diamond pin, W.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. THE PASTORS’ ALLIANCE. They Discuss the Colclazier Case Before the Presbytery. DR. BARTLETT AND JUDGE DRAKE HAVE A TILT— DR. HAMLIN DOES NOT WANT TO SIT DOWN IN A PUDDLE OF GOOD FEELING—SEVERAL PROPOSI- TIONS OF SETTLEMENT. Dr. Fullerton took the floor in the Washing- ton city presbytery this morning to argue the case of Colclazier against the Assembly church, on trial before the presbytery, sitting, as one member described it, as a court of conscience. Dr. Fullerton was the minority of the commit- tee that reported on the case. The practical conclusion of his report was the same as that of the majority—that the church should now pay the claim. His reasoning, however, was somewhat different, and he was inclined to ac- cept as true all the facts contended for by representatives of the church—that the loan transaction was a fraud by which Mr. Colcla- zier was victimized by designing men, and that the congregation had nothing to do with the transaction, and never received any benefit from the money. In his address this morning Dr. Fullerton said he admitted that the force of legal deci- sions would make the church responsible, bar- ring the defense of the lapse of time or the mestion of usury. the debt, he insisted, did commit a fraud and i was so declared by court after court. They committed a fraud, he said, in giving a deed to property they had no right to convey. “It was a mistake,” interrupied Judge Strong. “It is very harsh to apply the word fraud to it.” Asto the memory of the dead pastor, Rev. Mr. Carothers, Dr, Fullerton asked: Was this dead man just to himself? The fact was, he said, that he was the principal instigator in getting $3,000 from this old man. and in form- ing a scheme by which the money was to be got in such a way that the church would never have to pay it. Was it not,he asked, an unjust transaction to Colclazier to get him to accept a worthless security? If the Assembly church believed that it would not be a sin to pay this debt, Dr. Fullerton thought, they should pay it. He insisted that there was a liability on the church, but, he said, the presbytery should say, “We don't think that you, the congregation of Assembly church, have intended to do a wrong, or have ever done any wrong, excepting the slight wrong of neg- lecting a consequent moral obligation.” DR. BARTLETT'S CONCLUSIONS. Dr. Bartlett, following Dr. Fullerton, spoke of the proceedings as ‘A very fascinating en- tertainment.” He referred to the various dis- (othe and the skill with which they had andled their sides. He referred to Dr. Sun- derland as “The best cross between a first-class lawyer and a first-class preacher that I have ever seen.” He thought a dispassionate mind should take a fair view of it. He thought there were thre@ parties in the case—Colclazier, the church and the presbytery, and every one of them was in the wrong. He spoke of Colcla- zier as being in the wrong in making a usurious loan, He accepted Dr. Fullerton’s argument as a clear exposition of the status of the church in this matter. He arraigned the presbytery for solong permitting this thin, to go without thorough investigation and handling. He thought the question ought to be settled as the tower question was, where the building committee, the architect, and the builder were each required to assume one-third, The church, he said, shonid take a third of this obligation, the presbytery a third and Mr. Colclazier a third, Me thought this would be the way of settling it, and when it was settled they should hold a prayer-meeting with Brother Colclazier in the midst of it. DR. RAMSDELL’S VIEWS, Dr. Ramsdeli read as an expression of his views a series of resolutions setting forth that in the opinion of the presbytery the outstanding note should be settled forthwith, but at the same time disclaimed any intention of imputing to Assembly church any purpose or willing! to do a wilful wrong. ‘The resolutions recom- mended also to the members of the presbytery to aid by their contributions in paying this sum, Dr. Sunderland said he was in favor of action | that would forever lay this specter beyond the power of resurrection, “I would rather,” he | said, referring to Dr. Bartlett's proposal to arraign three perties, “make two criminals than three. Let the old man rest.” “Let the old church rest,” said Dr. Bartlett, witha laugh. “Let the old presbytery rest,” added Dr. Sunderland, “Give us a rest,” said Dr. Hamlin. said Dr. Sunderland, “give us all a rest.” Proceeding, Dr. Sunderland said he thought the surest way was to divide it up and wind it all up right here, ‘MR. LYMAN’S PROPOSAL, Mr. Lyman, speaking, as he said, on his own responsibility and not for Assembly church, suggested, after briefly reviewing the facts in the case, the adoption of a resolution that this presbytery, without judgment as to the moral or legal ‘responsibility of the parties to the controversy, will assume, as a matter of charity, ie such sum, not exceedin 40, as Mr. Colclazier would be willing to accept. With such a settlement, Mr. Lyman said, there would be no heartburning. Mr. Lyman in- sisted that any judgment imposing this claim upon the Assembly church as an obligation would not settle the question. Dr. Sunderland favored Mr. Lyman’s propo- sition with the word “chari left out. He wanted to leave out every word that assumed | to pass upon the question of charity or obliga- tion, and then having the presb to pay the claim and take from Mr. Colclazier a voucher of satisfaction. Mr. Lyman said that if the matter was put in that way he could assure them that Assembly church would do its full share. IN THE PUDDLE. Dr. Hamlin remarked that they coxld not dis- pose of a case like this by simply sitting down ina puddle of good feeling. As there were facts here, he thought they should settle the matter according to the facts presented, and not as a matter of sentiment. Dr. Bartlett said for his part he was willing to sit down in the puddle. In discussing the case he referred to the majority report of the committee as being drawn in a judicial spirit, as though the committee thought this wasa Proceeding in which some penalty should be inflicted. Judge Drake was sitting ata table immedi- al ly in front of Dr. Bartlett. ‘I deny,” he said, holding up “that there is any such thing in it.” “I say that there is,” amid Dr. Bartlett em- ically, leaning over toward the judge, Vhere?” said Judge Drake, springing up nickly, and in the movement bringing his losed hand holding the report very close to Dr. Bartlett's face. 2.00 every page of it,” said Dr. Bartlett, the report, P ¢ ly. “If you wish to deal in generalities of that kind” began Judge Drake—— “I will go into particularities,” said Dr. Bart- lett. “You can't write a page without putting things of that kind in it.” “You are making it a personal matter,” said the Judge. THE MODERATOR MODERATES. ‘The manner of the two disputants was some- what aggressive. This and their language brought the moderator, Dr. Childs, to his feet, and he called Dr. Bartlett to order, saying his language was clearly contrary torule. Dr. Bartlett subsequently apologized for anything in his remarks that were severe upon the judge. He said he would vote for anything to settle the pending matter in a Christian way. At 12:30 o'clock the presbytery took a recess for an hour, AT THE AFTERNOON SESSION of the presbytery Judge Drake argued at length in favor of the adoption of the majority report in the Colclazier case, and at 3 o'clock the pres- bytery was preparing to vote on the question. The Majority Report Adopted. The majority report was adopted by a vote of 16 to 8 Bani, eee The Death Record.

Herbert Ric! at something should be said in the memorial relative to ‘ui TRE APPOINTMENT OF A DIRTRICT ATTORNEY. ‘He said it was important to have a man im that office who was not in sympathy with the liquor business. The reason of that, he said, was that when a saloon-keeper was convicted for violation of the Sunday law, the fact such conviction ought to be entered in second indictment if one should be made, under the law the man would be deprived his license. If, however, the attention of court was not called to the first offense the saloon man would simply pay a fine and go on violating the law. He thought that a vigilant district attorney would be of great assistance in enforcing the liquor laws, Rev. Charles W. Baldwin thonght that the memorial ought to call attention to THE EXISTENCE OF BAWDY HOUSES and their recognition by the authorities, He understood that there was a list of such places at police headquarters, together with the names of the proprietors. He had been told that liquor licenses had been granted to some of these houses. Another suggestion for an addition to the memorial was made by Rev. J. C. Craighead and seconded by Rev. John H.
