Organization of the Bridge and Road Association. ‘MEETING AT THE AMERICAN BOUSE—RIGHT OF WAT —OCOMMITTERS APPOINTED—A STATEMENT OF RXPEOTED ADVANTAGES FROM TEE KEW BRIDGE | ( A meeting of the citizens of the District and Prince George's county, Md., who ere inter- ested in the proposed new bridge scross the Eastern branch st the foot of South Capitol street and new road to Fort Washington was held yesterday afternoon at the American house. A permanent organization was effected of the bridge and road association by the elec- tion of A. K. Browne as presidentand A. Moffitt as secretary. Itwas stated that the right of way had been secured for the road through the lands owned by Messrs. Jackson and Seufferle, Gen. Ewing, H. A. Hungerford, Col. Denman, Mr. Freeman, O. L. Cummings, James Byer, Charles Pelham, Mrs. Yor Xe Miss p menage y Young, Miss Young, COMMITTERS APPOINTED.

In the meantime the executive committee, of Henry Holley, H. A. Hungerford, Chas. Pel- ham, Dr. Heiskell and Jas. Swift, was author- ized to hold meetings and transact for the asso- ciatiyn all necessary business connected with the enterprise. WHAT PRESIDENT BROWNE SAYS OF THE PBO- POSED BRIDGE AND ROAD. The president of the association, Mr. Browne, told a Stax reporter that the District Commis- sioners had gone over the proposed route and were impressed with the benefit which the building of the bridge and the opening of the road would be not only to the District but to the farmers living in that part of Maryland. He said that he understood that the Commis- sioners would recommend to Congress to make an appropriation for the erection of the bridge. Mr. wne said that the expense of the sur- vey of the roadcould be met from a fund raised by private subscription. He said that the construction of such a bridge was favorab|; considered by Congress at the last session an‘ he thought that with the recommendation of the Commissioners the project wouldgo through atthe next session of Congress. The new bridge, according to the present Blan, will be built at the foot of South Capitol street or Ist street west and will extend across the Branch to a point near the grounds of the Government In- sane hospital. There will e@ draw in the bridge to allow the e of vessels to the navy yard, The formers now living in that section are obliged to take a roundabout course to reach this city with their produce as they cross the Branch over Anacostia bridge.

In the month of April a bamboo raft, 10 to 12 feet long and about half as broad, is pre- pared. The poles are lashed together with in- terstices of an inch between each. Over this @ layer of straw an inch thick is spread, and then a coating, two inches thick, of adhesive mud, taken from the bottom of a canal or pond, which receives the seed. The raft is moored to the bank in still water, and requires no fur- the soil also, the roots drawing su t from the water alone. In sbout thre the raft becomes covered with the cree} ‘ipomaea replans) and its stems and roots are gathered for cooking.

Mason, consul of the United States at Marseilles, sends to the State department, under date of July 8, a report on theoutlook for the restoration of the bimetallic standard of currency. “Sixteen years’ experience of mono- western Europe which demands a remedy. How much of the present depression in these interests has been really due to the practical demonetization of silver is a question upon which there is naturally a wide divergence of opinion, but the belief that the effest of that has been vitally prejudicial that theory may, perhaps, come fairly within the province of a consular report, BAD EFFECTS OF GERMANY'S DEMONETIZATION OF SILVER. Mr. Mason says that the decline in agricul- ture and indéstrial prosperity, which is gener- ally attributed to increased production of food products in cheapening of transportation,is now by y attributed toGermany’s demonetization of silver in 1873, which has enormo' favored the competitive power of Indis, and other countries which maintain the silver standard. Since the suspension by the Latin union in 1874 of the coinage of silver the d ciation of silver in has been equi i+ to nearly or quite 27 cent, The loss to France by the depreciation of its silver in cir- culation is estimated at a milliard anda half francs. Mr. Mason quotes at length from the Commercial and Maritime Journal to show that this monetary perturbation has had 4 PERNICIOUS EFFECT UPON THE EXPORT TRADE. The cave from the standpoint of the agricul- turists, he says, is not less strong and urgent. They say the demonetization of silver has flooded the home markets with foreign farm roducts and thus fatally reduce the value of the crops without cheapening rents, labor or clothing correspondingly. France, es Mr. Mason, is not alone in these opinions. Ger- many, as early as 1886, 840 agricultural socie- ties had appealed to the Berlin reichstag in favor of a remonetization of silver, and during the early part of the session of the present year this appeal was seconded by a powerful contingant of landed proprietors. In land, in the house of commons, Mr. Mason finds much sentiment in favor of remonetization also, In conclusion he says: ‘In view of all that one reads and hears in the discussion of this question it would seem oe rere that the monetary conference which to assemble at Paris in September will meet under circum- stances far more protnising to the interests of bimetallism than those which surrounded the conference of 1881.” WORK HOUSE PRACTICES. How a Visitor Caused the Regular Din- ner to be Delayed—Why? The statement made by James Brosnan con- cerning the alleged ill treatment of s small col- ored girl confined in the work house and pub- lished in Tax Star yesterday only confirms the reports printed in Tae Stan some time ago. The girl referred to was Mary Washington, a colored girl about fourteen years old, who was then serving a sentence of three months, She was arrested June 11 by Policeman Kimmell and Judge Miller sentenced her to ninety days on the farm on a charge of vagrancy. Brosnan, as published yesterday, was put at work in the engine room and in that work he had a better opportunity than many others tg see what was going on. In addition to what was published yesterday Brosnan told a STaR reporter that one day last week one of the lady members of the board of visitors made a visit to the work house and poor house. While in the poor house dinner was served and it was better than the ordinary meal served to the in- mates of that institution, The meal was a rc ty fair one and the visitor was given to un- lerstand that the work house prisoners were given the same food. A DELAYED MEAL, “That day,” he continued, “the work house boys did not get their dinner on time, but had to wait until the lady got away, and then the same old chuck was sent around. It consisted of a piece of sour corn bread, a small piece of meat, acup of soup seasoned with flies, and one or two cold potatoes.” ‘That's the way,” he said, “that the mem- bers of the board of visitors was fooled.” DISCHARGED BUT HATLESS. “When I was sent there,” he continued, “none of my friends knew of my arrest and I found it impossible to communicate with any one. I tried in vain to procure even « postal card, for as soon as my employer could of arrest I knew that I would get out ly, one of the prisoners was about to be released, I sent word through him to m: employer and the next dey f wag release When my release was made out I had no hat to wear home. My hat had been given to a pris- oner or lent who had been adjudged insane Pee Yo the aaylum. My hat had gone with A WHITE PLUG OB AN OLD DERBY. Superintendent Stoutenburg offered me one of the old white plug hats, such as are worn by the igmetes of the poor house. I declined to accept it and demanded my hat or $2.25 for a new one. Finallya hat belonging to one of the officers (I think Officer Arnold) was ob- tained and I had to satisfy myself with that or nothing. I took the hat.” Brosnan showed the hat, which was one of the old sort of derby hate such as were worn by the police several years ago. When asked about the meals furnished the prisoners, Brosnan said: ‘The meals are poor and not fit to eat.” “I would rather eatone meal in jail,” he ad- | ded, “than half a dozen in the work house.” ENGLAND WILL BACK CANADA. A London Correspondent Believes the Seal Question Settled. A cable dispatch to the Montreal Gasstle from London says: “The imperial authorities have decided that British right must be protected from outrage in the Behring sea, The belief here is that when the United States see the determined at- titude of Great Britain in support of Canada they will no longer obstruct a speedy and peaceful settlement. Pauncefote, Salisbury and Kunteford have been in constant com- munication during the last few days. Journals of all shades of opinion maintain the illegality and indefensibility of the United States’ action.” The Gazette, of the abov 2 othe sotsare, tacagh bad mas, seen, ing, gives promise of resulting more satis- ending, factorll than pected, and direc! bring Deoat Pg ‘estelornent of a Tamiaweaek phenomena of this kind, inconsistent as they were with the phlogistic theory, had not been pi Fl i hil OFFICER BLOCK ACQUITTED. The Closing Testimony—Judge Miller’s Decision—His Sharp Comments. Yesterday afternoon in the Police Court, —— of Brainard, who, he said, was Col. Seaton's ew. ‘itness directed Mr. Block to procure ® warrant against Lowenstein, and thonght he also ordered a warrant —— Brainard, Witness did not think he could have his mind with reference to the manner in ‘the case was tried? Mr. Armes objected because he thought the answer might interfere with his argument. 4 LAWYER'S PRIVILEGE. The judge said he did not think that any technicalities should be raised to prevent a full and fair examination, to which Mr. Block is en- titled, The witness had been a lawyer long enough to know that he could answer one way and argue another. ee! Witness answered that no new fact had been developed. The witness was then questioned atsome length conce: Mr, Block’s state- ment of the case, including the confession. OFFICER BLOCK TELLS HIS STORY. ‘The defendant was then sworn in his own be- half. He testified that as an officer of the po- lice department it is his duty to look after pawn sh second-hand stores and all places where st property is su to be con- cealed. He was sent for b; ivate Detective McDevitt, who introduced to Col. Seaton and Mr. Windlock, Defendant heard Col. Sea- ton’s story of the boy’s misconduct and told him that if he (Block) had anything to do with the case the matter would have to be brought to the attention of the court. Defendant then told of the facts in connection with the arrest of Mr. Lowenstein and the of the house. To show that defendant had no bad feeling, he said he went in Schwing & Clarke's on 7th street and took a drink with Lowenstein. Mr. Block said that Mr. Armes ordered him to swear out warrants both for Brainard and Lowenstein. He said that he acted all the way through UNDEB THE ADVICE OF MR. ARMES. Defendant thought that the young man might be put out on his parole and should he return he could be prosecuted. He concealed no facts from anybody. Ex-Commissioner Webb, the youne, man’s guardian, and Col. Seaton spoke defendant about going to New York with Brainard. Defendant spoke to Maj. Moore about it and he gave defendant permission to accompany the young man to New York when the District attorney said that there was noth- ing against him. When defendant was fur- nished the money for expenses he went to Saks & Co.'s and there purchased Brainard a com- lete outfit of clothing. He then took him toa arber shop, where he was shaved, given a bath, had hair cut, and was fitted up like a entleman. Out of the fund intrusted to de- fondant @65 was spent for a ticket to Ni a. In answer to inquiries of counsel defendant said that he never received » cent as a reward or present, and refused itively to do so when the eubject was mentioned, BLOCK CROSS-EXAMINED. On cross-examination defendant said that he went to Newport after leaving New York and took his son with him, but did not pay any of the expenses out of the funds provided by Brainard’s guardian. The district attorney, he said, hurried the case against Lowenstein in order that the young man might get off to Nic- ari ‘ter the cross-exami which occupied some time, Mr. nounced his case was closed. Mr. Armes moved that the case go over until today, but the judge saw no reason to grant the motion. Mr. Armes stated that an attempt had been aw ne te a Ree at the iret Peng ney, Judge Hoge, and he though’ it Ju Hoge should be given an opportunity to an 3 a statement. Explanations were made, and the judge said that the character of Judge Hoge was above. reproach, and spoke in such flattering terms of a official that Mr. Armes withdrew the mo- jon, Judge Miller’s Decision. Judge Miller, after reviewing at some length the law in the case (heretofore quoted in Tux Sran), said he would never concede the right of an officer to bind the government by a con- fession. The first question was: Did this men com| dafelony? Ithinknot. * * * He put the government in ion of the man’s confession, which of itself was sufficient to con- vict; that is the untrammeled confession. If it should appear that he made a promise of im- munity this case would take a different aspect, but he says, and the proof is not to the con- trary, that he made no promise whatever, although the case does seem strongly to point out that this man was led to believe by some one that he would not be prosecuted for that offense. “Did he assist, participate, consent to, or aid is person who is suspected of crime to escape @ full judicial investigation by failing to give known facts and reasonable causes of suspicion, or withholding any information relative to the charge or suspicion from the officer? It is charged he did it in that he ‘ha not lay before the t attorney the fact that this man was a notorious thief; that is that he had engaged in and ‘ipated in other larcenies, It is also conten: that he did not investigate the cases so as to inquire of Mr. Lowenstein or Mrs. Moore, or the Seaton family as to other facts and circumstances upon which the convic- tion of this man could be had. He is not re- gpeed todo that under the statute. He is fig somes to give known facts and rea- sonable grounds of suspicion within his knowl- edge, to the district attorney, and if he failed togive to Mr. Armes the and circum- stances of this case and led to this a or aided in the escape from justice then he would time was « free and volun’ one, and he laced in his hands the means of conviction of man—the co: The judge then went on to review the evi- dence as to Block's alleged violation of the second clause of the law, which says: “Tt shall be unlawful to receive money, property, favor or other compensation 4 on account of, any pecorecemeatnd sembijoes it for to it any such t Ha PD 5 a crete 8 if | E 5 E | ut qi it ! if E E i F : £ r fl a ; | i litt : te i | i 7 Hl i i Fe HH i F E I Bs Bi i THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1889. z E § H ! eff tel 5 if : : “Now, it is true, and it isa dark side of the case; it is true that Lowenstein was on trial for & secondary offense, and it is true that Lowen- stein hed the right, and I can well imagine his feelings when the trial was over; he had a sri omed the arrest of the man that about my conviction. it to have that man.

BLOCK ACQUITTED BY THE DISTRICT ATTORKEY'S TESTIMONY. “I think the testimony does not certainly bring this case within the provision of the statute in anycourtin the world, This defendant would be relieved of the charge that he did not lay suffi- cient evidence before the district attorney b: the testimony of the district attorney himself, and that the district attorney neglected to pursue his course, it is due to his discreti wer and not to that of Block. He is hereby Fisoharged from this charge.” —— FEMININE BACHELORS. ‘Women who Live by Themselves and are Very Independent. From the New York Mail and The feminine bachelor is one of the most in- teresting features of life in am American sum- mer. She isthe young woman who, on the first night of “The Burglar” at the Madison Square theater, walked quietly, in « neat but not conspicuous warm weather toilet, all alone down to an isle seat in the front row of orches- trachairs, She is the young woman who,when she is invited to a hop at Narragansett Pier at Atlantic City, rings your cottage bell modestly but unabashed, party bag on arm, without so much as a lady’s maid or @ messenger boy as escort to impress the servant who opens the door. She isthe young woman who tramps, detective camera in hand, up and down the mountain roads of the Catskills and whom the natives speak of with wonder and respect as the “pretty girl from the city who has taken the “Hills of the Sky’ lodge and lives in it by her- self.” She is the young woman who, when in New York, composedly takes her place at a French or Italian table d’hote of good classand expects and receives every consideration, though no male creature vouches for her re- Spectability, if she finds herself down town a: 1 in want of meal. Last, but not least, she is the young woman who says to you, “Keep your seat, sir; I’ve been seated all day,” when you rise to give her your place in horse car or ele- vated train, and she says it so simply, so po- litely and withal in such a matter-of-course tone that you waste no time urging her, but settle back and open your newspaper. BER AVERAGE AGE. The feminine bachelor is anywhere frcm nine- tega years old to thirty-five. She is at her best at about twenty-six to twenty-seven.

It is hot and close and dark, and ‘the familiar odors of size and distemper are anything but pleasant. There is an early “call” anda number of girls are chatting in a somo- what depressed fashion. You do not hear a laugh or even a giggle. As to the girls them- selves, they are in no wise remarkably different from a similar number chosen haphazard from any lower middle-class neighborhood. Some few of them wear flashy Garments; others are quietly and even poorly dressod. But for a too generous use of powder and a somewhat self-assertive oscillation of the skirts the as- sembly might easily be taken for a collection, of shop girls leavened with a sprinkling of bar- On talking with « well-known artist you can- not help being struck with the extremely pro- saic character of most of the girls’ antecedents. The incidents of Ouidaesque romance are very far removed, indeed. from their commonplace histories. In almost every case the girls have taken to the boards owing to the example of some other members of their families. Several of the chief ‘ladies of the ballet” were trained aschildren under Mme. Katti Lanner; some few are the daughters of other ballet dancers, but the majority are relatives of stage carpen- ters, supernumeraries and the smaller fry of the London stage. With regard to the “extra ” it is somewhat curious to notice what # large proportion of them get the better part of their incomes .. artists’ models, often being the daughters of mechanics. small clerks and en and quite a considerable number of commercial travelers. As to the artists, the acrobatic stars, the “fascinating ductiste” and “el serio-comics?/” In nearly every in- stance THE SMELL OF THE FOOT LIGHTS hes from their childhood found ite way to their homes, “And what,” you are inclined to ask, “is the direct effect of this stage life on the character and condition of those who adopt it?’ The answer is that is has very little direct effect. It is early home influences that tell upon the stage girl, just asin the case of barmaid or shop girl or post office clerk. Frequently girls who go upon the stage in subordinate tions do not come from over-well boure- holds. Their parents are often indifferent folk who, although they would not deliberately put their children in the way of evil, yet at the same time would be by no means icular to remove them from every chance of temptation. in all probability they have from infancy had ® rather more than average acquaint- ance with the shifts, the weaknesses, and possibly the vices, of a far from well ordered home, They have heard a fair, or rather, unfair, amount of bad language; they have by no means been brought up witha special aversion to strong liquors; and from listening to careless talk they have become to ascertain extent imbued with that particular knowledge of the world which can all times be readily dispensed with. It is not, of course, meant that the girls who go upon the boards are invariably children of loose parents. It is enough to say that the average girl upon the stage is far from ignorant of the world and its ways when she first appears before the footlights, and consequently no fine sensibilities are likely to be blunted by rubbing shoulders WITH CERTAIN IRBEGULAR NOTORIETIES. As you are discussing the subject in sober fashion the name of a “celebrity” (who re- cently left the stage and this world at the same time) is brought forward to illustrate the truth of what you have been saying and what has been said to you. In this case a certainly somewhat “assertive career” was entirely caused by home influence in the first instance, The “temptations of the stage” had very little indeed to do with the matter. It is brought to your notice that the kind of temperament which is ambitious of personal display (and very few girls who dislike it are found on the stage) cau never at any time be reckoned as a particularly safe one. A more than ordinary share of vau- w jo: with a nervous citability is not the st ot gear ir svoiding rous sh ile, But the stage training, in some respects at least, may be counted on as decidedly advan- tageous. A certain amount of discipline always has to be maintained; ambition and industry are absolutely necessary for anything like mod- erate success; and the keenest attention must — be given to the business directly in With regard to girls belonging to “troupes,” there is no doubt that the incessant fitting about from town to town mu « beget a certain Bohemianism which it would be difficult, in- deed, to eradicate, and if there be any good in- fluence at home it is weakeved when it has to act ata . Young women who go tour- ing on the continent also, perhaps, may come to suffer from that peculiar spirit of freedom which sometimes affects those who are well aware that they are altogether beyond anything like supervision.
